Chapter 148: Wu Xingwen’s Destruction!

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Howl…” An extremely mournful ghost howled!

The flesh of this Blazing Fire Cavalry’s expert was instantly dried up like a mummy. He wasn’t dead yet, but his eyes had lost all life, and his muscular body had shrunk to less than half of the original size, as though he was a ghost.

The Evil Soul Art was truly the evilest and most malicious evil art.

****************

After successfully extracting the officer’s puppet battle soul, Wu Xingwen slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with ecstasy. His eyes looked as though they were blazing flames.

“It is the real thing, right? Now you should hand over the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl,” Yang Dingtian stated.

Wu Xingwen’s body was still trembling with excitement, but he didn’t try to negotiate. He immediately took out the box containing the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl and passed it over through the small window.

Feeling a cooling sensation once Yang Dingtian received the box, he immediately opened it.

There was really this fantasy looking pearl resting in it, which was permeating with boundless chilling energy. It was the authentic Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl.

Yang Dingtian had spent a lot of effort just because of this Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. Right now, it was finally resting in his hands.

After keeping the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl into the box, Yang Dingtian kept the box into his belongings, which was already placed inside the spatial ring. Right now, the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl completely belonged to Yang Dingtian, and no one else could take it away from him.

Wu Xingwen said, “Now, you should fulfill the other part of the deal and teach me the Soul Burst Art.”

Yang Dingtian nodded and said, “Next, you have to prepare yourself, for I will teach you the Soul Burst Art. This is the most crucial part of the Evil Soul Art, and with the Soul Burst Art, you can instantly kill any expert in the world.”

Wu Xingwen closed his eyes and focused his concentration with his eyes pricked up.

Yang Dingtian closed his eyes again as he recited every sentence and word.

“Boom Boom Boom…”

Every inch of the air started to exploded inch by inch.

“Ahhh…”

“Ahhh…”

“Ahhh…”

The prison was filled with countless ghosts that were screaming and letting out dreadful shrieks.

“Bang…”

“Bang…”

“Bang…”

Every candle in prison started to burst open.

**********************

Fifteen minutes later, Yang Dingtian’s voice stopped, and so did the surrounding air and the countless exploding noises of the spirits. It felt as though an apocalypse had ended.

“Can you remember it?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“I have,” Wu Xingwen replied.

Yang Dingtian said, “Now, you can go find another expert and test the Soul Burst Art and see if you can instantly kill him. If you can, it proves that you have learned the Soul Burst Art, and you can let us go.”

“There is no need, Yang Dingtian.” Wu Xingwen smiled and said, “I trust you.”

“You better try it.” Yang Dingtian said, “Otherwise, this deal isn’t considered complete.”

“Alright, then.” Wu Xingwen lifted his head to look at Yang Dingtian, revealing a bizarre smile and said, “But there is no need to find someone else to try it. I will try it on you, Yang Dingtian.”

Yang Dingtian’s expression changed as he said, “You, what do you mean?”

“Be a ‘man of words’ and finish this to the end. I will use the Soul Burst Art to kill you instantly.” Wu Xingwen smiled and answered.

Yang Dingtian’s body shuddered as he said, “You, you are despicable! What benefit is there for you? Between you and me, we are better at cooperating than in disagreement. I can give you many things.”

“That’s right; it is better for us to cooperate.” Wu Xingwen sneered and said, “But there is one important thing that you forgot. I want to keep this Evil Soul Art a secret and don’t want anyone in the world to know it. Since you know about it, you have to die.”

Yang Dingtian’s entire body was trembling, and he was speechless.

“In this case, Yang Dingtian, you can rest in peace now. I will continue to ravage Mu Lianyi every single day, every single moment,” Wu Xingwen sneered and said. He then raised the soul tool ring and recited the mnemonic chant while circulating his mystic qi.

“Boom, Boom, Boom…”

The air began to explode.

“Bang Bang Bang…”

Flames began to burst out.

“Wuu Wuu… Aooo Aooo…” Countless spirit started to wail.

“Swish Swish Swish Swish…” Countless spirits flew out of the ring and formed a giant and strange energy formation.

Finally, a formidable puppet battle soul appeared in the energy formation.

“Bizarre, severe, ghost, cry… destroy destroy destroy!”

“Die…!” Wu Xingwen let out a severe roar.

All the puppet battle soul in the soul tool burst out, forming this incomparably vengeful spirit energy, which struck out like lightning.

“Ahhh…” There was a bizarre wail.

The puppet battle soul drew across the air in a horrifying trajectory, before suddenly turning back and rushing at Wu Xingwen.

“Ahhh…” There was a shriek of a malicious spirit.

The puppet battle soul vigorously dove into Wu Xingwen’s mind.

“Bang…”

“Ahhh…” Wu Xingwen let out a miserable scream of fear, shock, and horror before he shot a complicated expression at Yang Dingtian. He couldn’t believe that Yang Dingtian actually used this method to stage a comeback.

Of course, Wu Xingwen could only maintain his expression for a split moment.

One moment later, Wu Xingwen’s consciousness, mind, willpower were all instantly turned into ashes.

His proud and sinister smile, which was on his face, had turned into despair and fear.

If it were just that puppet battle soul from that Blazing Fire Cavalry expert, it wouldn’t be enough to destroy Wu Xingwen. Still, in the soul tool ring, there was an extremely powerful puppet soul spirit, so powerful that even ten Wu Xingwen would be instantly destroyed like trash.

That’s right. Yang Dingtian did give the soul tool ring and the Soul Assimilating Art to Wu Xingwen. He also let Wu Xingwen witness the prowess of the Evil Soul Art.

But for the final Soul Burst Art, Yang Dingtian modified it slightly. He changed the target from the enemy into the practitioner, allowing the puppet battle soul free will to attack and turn into a backlash!

Of course, if it were someone who had just learned the Evil Soul Art, they would be unable to modify it.

Because this sinister and mystical evil art was extremely complex, and a slight modification might cause the evil art to collapse completely.

But, Yang Dingtian’s proficiency towards the Evil Soul Art was exactly the same as the Temple of Blood’s Master, Dugu Xiao.

Dugu Xiao had forcefully poured all the research and study that he did on the Evil Soul Art into Yang Dingtian’s mind. Yang Dingtian understood every detail, every consequence, and every circulation route to extreme mastery.

Dugu Xiao was a Great Devil and a prodigy blessed by heaven. He was able to conduct modifications to the Evil Soul Art, which meant that Yang Dingtian could do it too.

So, just like that, Yang Dingtian enticed Wu Xingwen to take the bait and ultimately destroy himself.

Of course, Wu Xingwen did expect that Yang Dingtian might play a trick, but he believed that the mystical Evil Soul Art was extremely powerful. He believed that someone like Yang Dingtian wouldn’t be able to do any tricks on an incomparably evil art. Furthermore, the Evil Soul Art was a fatal temptation to him, and he wasn’t willing to wait a minute more.

Just like that, under Yang Dingtian’s control, Wu Xingwen had destroyed himself, turning from an unmatched sinister, crafty, and intelligent person, into a completely idiotic and useless person.

Those who were killed by the Evil Soul Art wouldn’t truly die but would suffer a more horrific and agonizing fate because they would completely turn into a walking corpse and would listen to any command.

Hence, those who possessed the Evil Soul Art would be able to command an army of corpses.

Evil Soul Art was the most malicious and powerful evil art! That’s right, the most malicious. It wouldn’t allow you to have an instant death but instead would turn you into a ghoul.

Yang Dingtian looked at Wu Xingwen, who had turned into a ghoul and sighed before saying, “Master, I didn’t use the Evil Soul Art, and I didn’t get corrupted. I simply let him corrupt himself and destroy himself. I promise you that I will never truly use the Evil Soul Art, and I will not be corrupted in this lifetime. I will not let Dugu Xiao win.”

That’s right, Yang Dingtian only recited the Evil Soul Art earlier and didn’t circulate any mystic qi. He didn’t make contact with the soul tool ring, which contained the spirits and the puppet battle soul. Hence, he wasn’t corrupted.

“Open the door!” Yang Dingtian ordered.

The puppet Wu Xingwen walked forward and pressed on the mechanism.

“Rumble…” A metallic door, which was over five thousand kilograms, was instantly opened.

Yang Dingtian walked out of prison and walked in front of Mu Lianyi’s prison cell. He walked in after activating the mechanism.

“Young Lord… I can’t take it anymore…” Just as Yang Dingtian walked in, Mu Lianyi pounced at him. The drugs in her body were at the limits and had completely ruined her rationality.

Yang Dingtian naturally wouldn’t take advantage of the situation. He immediately pressed her down and stabbed at various parts of her blood veins, allowing fresh blood to flow out, which temporarily suppressed her down.

Immediately after, he made her consume a type of chilly elixir, which made her faint, suppressing the drugs in her body.

As expected, after consuming the elixir, Mu Lianyi’s body gradually cooled down before she went into a deep sleep.

Immediately after, Yang Dingtian took off the armor from the Blazing Fire Cavalry officer and wore it. He then helped Mu Lianyi with tidying up her clothes and put on plenty of concealment before putting her on his shoulder.

“Walk forward,” Yang Dingtian ordered Wu Xingwen, who was now a ghoul.

Wu Xingwen instinctively walked forward, while Yang Dingtian carried Mu Lianyi and followed behind while wearing the officer’s attire.

Just like that, Yang Dingtian strutted out of prison.

This place was actually one of the castles that belonged to the Raging Flames Castle, and Wu Xingwen had temporarily occupied it. The Raging Flames Castle was indeed colluding with the Northwest Qin Clan.

When they were walking on the surface of the castle, all the cavalrymen would bow with respect when they saw Wu Xingwen.

Wu Xingwen didn’t give them any regards and simply walked out along with Yang Dingtian, who was in the officer’s attire.

Although some were curious why their commander Wu Xingwun had a retarded and strange expression, they didn’t dare to question much and just understood it as him feeling fatigued after playing with his woman. As for the officer carrying the woman behind, there was no need for any explanation.

After walking out of the castle, Yang Dingtian asked for a carriage and loaded Wu Xingwen and Mu Lianyi into the carriage. He then steered the carriage and rushed towards the direction of the Mu Clan Docks.
