Chapter 912: Dark Soul
As the aftermath of the battle just now quickly dissipated, it was estimated that in less than five breaths, these two-winged "dark spirit demon bats" would surround Li Yan.
Of course, if Li Yan wanted to leave, they couldn't even find his shadow.
But now there was a possibility of completely leaving this strange corridor, and Li Yan naturally wanted to see what the other party had to say.
"I... I am very weak, and I need to rely on the power of my physical body. I am now... now returning to my body, fellow Taoist, please don't... don't use that magic weapon to pierce me again, otherwise, I will die immediately!" ??
Although Li Yan couldn't see the other party in his eyes, he still stared at the void with a cold gaze.
"You'd better not play tricks. If you hold on to any fluke mentality, you will die!"
Then, he slowly retracted the Guiyi Dividing Water Thorn that was pierced into the void.
In the spiritual consciousness, the gray-white and almost transparent thing was slightly relieved after seeing the other party retract the terrifying magic weapon.
Then, in Li Yan's consciousness, this time, he returned to the four-winged "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" that was nailed in the void at a speed that Li Yan could control, and merged into it the next moment.
Then, Li Yan saw a scene that surprised him. The four-winged "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" that had already lost all its life actually slowly opened its eyes again.
But the thick green light in the eyes had already turned into light green, giving people a feeling of death.
"Can it be resurrected again?"
Li Yan thought in his heart.
The moment the four-winged "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" opened its eyes, it first focused its gaze on its forehead.
Seeing that the magic weapon was still inserted in the forehead, but the other party was not urging magic power, he swallowed his saliva dryly.
Then, a low hissing sound came out weakly.
In Li Yan's consciousness, the entire formation of the two-winged "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" that rushed over frantically was in chaos, and then, as expected, they stopped attacking.
Their faces showed a look of bewilderment, and then they looked at the four-winged "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" that had "resurrected" in the center.
Li Yan didn't care about them. He still didn't pull out the Guiyi Dividing Water Thorn, but stared at the other party.
"Have you practiced some kind of soul-strengthening technique?"
He asked directly, which was what he was most concerned about.
Li Yan didn't know if there was any problem with the "Fubo Killing Soul" he practiced. He had always practiced on his own without any guidance.
Li Yan himself was very suspicious, including himself. He had already doubted whether there was a problem with his practice.
"This... this is considered a soul technique. This is an advanced secret technique of the "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" clan, called "Spirit Soul Dark Soul".
Only when you reach the late third stage can you... can you barely practice it, that is, you can cultivate a layer of outer shell for the spirit soul, so that... let the soul have an extra defense... defense!"
He was really weak, and he panted several times in succession while speaking.
"'Spiritual Soul Dark Soul'? Cultivate a layer of protection for the soul. You just escaped with the help of this method. Can you return the scattered soul to its place on your own?"
Li Yan's eyes kept flashing. The world is so big that there are really all kinds of strange things.
"Daoyou...Daoyou, in fact, this is the real way for my 'Dark Spirit Demon Bat' clan to save lives. As long as there is a trace of soul left, your body can be abandoned and returned to its place again.
Abandon...abandon, it can be used as a way to escape by faking death. After the opponent...goes away, the soul can return to its place again.
It's just that this time cannot be too long, at most half an hour, and the body is not completely destroyed, but at least it is thousands...hundreds of times better than taking over the body, isn't it...right?
This is also the origin of my...my clan's name, but...but not many outsiders know it!"
Speaking of this, he looked at Li Yan helplessly. Their escape method is particularly concealed. First, the technique of attacking the soul is not common.
Therefore, after ordinary people beat them to the point where they have no breath left, and then take the magic core, they will of course think that they are dead, and the probability of damaging their physical bodies is 50-50.
The most likely possibility is that the physical body is taken away by the opponent, which is a good material for refining weapons, and they can quietly put the soul into the physical body again, and then they can even play a role in counter-killing.
The second is that it takes a short process for the soul to dissipate. Even if someone has a particularly strong spiritual consciousness and finds that there are souls floating in the air, they will only think that it is a normal phenomenon of death.
Unlike Li Yan, under the Guiyi Dividing Water Thorn, the soul did not even have time to leave the body and dissipate. The soul was directly nailed to pieces and did not disperse outside the body at all.
Therefore, his soul can still float out, which makes Li Yan realize that there is a problem.
Of course, this is not an absolute thing. If the opponent's cultivation is particularly strong, then the Guiyi Dividing Water Thorn cannot make the opponent's soul dissipate completely in one blow. It is possible.
However, it is a pity that he and Li Yan are cultivators of the same level, and he met the particularly suspicious Li Yan.
As soon as Li Yan felt something was wrong, he immediately wanted to kill him, which made his last chance of escape disappear.
It can be said that he met Li Yan and met his nemesis. If it were another cultivator, he might have escaped.
Li Yan's eyes began to flicker for a while, and the four-winged "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" seemed to understand Li Yan's thoughts, and he sighed lightly.
"Daoyou, even if you search your soul now to get this technique, you can't practice it. This method can only be practiced by our clan.
Our souls are different from other races. We are born with four souls and nine souls, which means we have one and two more souls than other races.
When practicing this method, it is... to separate each soul into a 'shell', so that we can have an extra layer of defense.
The last soul will be sacrificed to
In the sea of consciousness, it serves as the mark that guides the soul back to its final place after leaving the body...the mark.
Otherwise, the soul may have drifted too far, or the body may have been taken away and there may be no way to return.
What's more, although this technique is secretive, some people still know it. If everyone could practice it, my clan...my clan would have been extinct long ago! "
The four-winged "Dark Spirit Monster Bat" was pinned in mid-air without daring to move, he gasped and said.
Of course he knew what Li Yan was thinking. Although this method was extremely hidden, there were still some senior monks of the race who knew about it.
As he said, if this technique could really be practiced by others, their clan would probably have ceased to exist long ago, and everyone would want to capture them and force them to use the technique.
Sure enough, after Li Yan heard this, although he never said a word, his thoughts were already spinning in his heart. He felt that half of what the other party said was credible.
This technique does not mean one extra life, it is equivalent to two extra lives.
First, after being hit in the soul, you can defend yourself once.
The other time is that each monk can only seize the body once in his life, but if the soul can return to the body again, it will retain the opportunity to seize the body, which is equivalent to having one more backup opportunity.
However, Li Yan continued to ask.
"Who else among you has practiced this set of techniques? Do those two-winged 'Dark Spirit Monster Bats' know about the inheritance of this set of techniques?"
"I am the strongest person here. There are only five people in the Four Wings now, and the ones who can practice this technique are the second and third children. They are barely strong enough to practice it.
As for... As for the inheritance of this set of skills, only third-level monsters are allowed to know about it, but the other boys here... no one knows about it! "
This four-winged "Dark Spirit Monster Bat" is very smart. He knows that the other party is confirming whether his words are true or false.
"Then do you want to force all of us into this corridor, where there are terrifying existences that can make the Golden Core cultivator lose consciousness in an instant?"
Li Yan's questions began to speed up, and he immediately changed the topic without giving the other party time to think.
"Yes, but not entirely. It is definitely forcing you into three corridors, and the corridor just now is just one of them.
However, the result after entering these three corridors is the same. There is a power there that even the Yuanying monks cannot contend with, that is..."
Li Yan was extremely surprised when he heard this, but because of this, he immediately raised his hand to signal the other party not to say anything further.
There are still many questions in his mind, including whether it is true or false to determine whether the opponent's technique can be practiced by other people.
But there was no time at this moment. The four-winged "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" he faced was the strongest here, so the blue skylark was the first to be forced into the final tunnel.
"Are there two more corridors with such terrifying power?"
Li Yan confirmed again.
"Yes!"
The four-winged "Dark Spirit Monster Bat" saw the murderous intent in the other party's eyes, and he quickly replied that he already knew what the other party was thinking.
"Do your junior brothers and junior sisters obey your orders?"
"Listen, I can take fellow Taoists to the other two final corridors now to prevent them from continuing to kill!"
"Okay, let's go and take a look now!"
Li Yan was anxious in his heart. If Xingbo and the others were forced into the so-called final tunnel, it would be really a disaster. Xingbo was not much stronger than the Qingquque.
He didn't have time to ask in detail what the terrifying power was in the last three corridors. Saving people was more important.
Xingbo was anxious. Before, he could sense Feng Moru in a nearby corridor. They were each being surrounded and killed by a group of two-winged "Dark Spirit Monster Bats" led by a four-winged "Dark Spirit Monster Bat".
Now, both sides have lost contact with each other.
Facing such a group of ferocious beasts, the most troublesome thing for him was the encirclement attack formed by the opponent. There was a translucent black long-thorned ball that turned out to be a sonic attack.
With the four-winged "Dark Spirit Monster Bat" attacking from the side, although he kept retreating, many scars appeared on his body.
The blood seeping out made the surrounding monsters become even more crazy, and their attacks became more ferocious.
During the retreat, he tried to find the nearest Feng Moru again, but faced with such a step-by-step siege, the purpose of reuniting with Feng Moru was completely impossible.
What made him even more anxious was that Zhang Ming disappeared first, and then Mr. Xuancai disappeared further and further away.
"Although junior brother is indeed not weak in strength, he is still young after all. Don't accidentally hit the opponent..."
Xingbo also felt that something was wrong, because the four-winged "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" kept attacking unhurriedly.
Xingbo has fought against the opponent more than ten times, and he clearly knows that even if the opponent is one-on-one with him, he may not lose to him.
What's more, there are more than a hundred two-winged "Dark Spirit Monster Bats" here that can form strange combination attack formations.
If they were swarmed, it would be difficult for him to persist until now.
At this time, another corridor appeared in front of Xingbo. Xingbo had no choice but to retreat towards that direction. In the blink of an eye, he was already close to the entrance of the corridor.
But just when he was about to dive in, he suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart, and his body flew by for a moment.
His consciousness spread out in all directions as usual, and after a quick glance, Xing Ming immediately found something wrong.
Because the two-winged "Dark Spirit Demon Bats" chasing behind him suddenly slowed down.
And the four-winged "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" suddenly accelerated and flew towards him.
"Huh?"
Xing Ming's mind moved, and his body immediately stopped in front of the tunnel entrance. The opponent's sudden change in attack method made him even more uneasy!!!
