Chapter 1587: Slaying Bai Ye! Fourth Update
From the moment Ye Qiu appeared, his plan had already begun to unfold. He first pretended to attack, but in reality, the Demon God Sect Clone suddenly made a move, catching the opponent completely off guard. Ye Qiu anticipated that the Demon God Sect Clone might not be able to inflict damage on the opponent, so the next step was necessary—enter the Six Paths Gate. But before bringing out the Six Paths Gate, Ye Qiu used the Illusion Eye to better prevent the opponent from resisting.
Afterwards, relying on the Six Paths Gate, he could bring Bai Ye a sense of crisis, especially with the Soul Hands pulling out his soul. If the Six Paths Gate could drag Bai Ye’s soul into the scenes of the Hell Path, that would be ideal. Should it fail, Ye Qiu had prepared a second plan. If the Soul Hands disappeared halfway, he could use his Soul Power. His Soul Body, having undergone the Nine Tribulations, was also a powerful threat, and with the protection of the invisible Rule Armor, he felt he could confront Bai Ye.
When Ye Qiu’s Soul Body clashed with Bai Ye’s Soul Body, Ye Qiu controlled the Emperor Bell to hide Bai Ye’s physical body, preventing his Soul Body from returning. Thus, Bai Ye’s strength would significantly decrease, forcing him to only engage in a soul battle.
All these steps were formed in Ye Qiu’s mind the moment Bai Ye began threatening Ye Qiu with the lives of the Capital City people. So the instant he dared to appear, all these steps unfolded, ultimately leading Bai Ye to lose his strongest combat power and face him, Ye Qiu, in his weakest form.
Without a physical body, Bai Ye was left only with his Soul Body, harboring murderous intent towards Ye Qiu like rolling dark clouds.
To fall to a native, particularly to someone two major realms below him, was unthinkable even for this descendant of the Dugu family. But what happened, happened.
Bai Ye transformed his immense rage into attacks, engaging Ye Qiu as a Soul Body. Ye Qiu dared to challenge human-shaped Heavenly Tribulations in soul form; fighting Bai Ye together now was an entirely new challenge for him.
Bai Ye’s soul was twice the size of Ye Qiu’s, like an adult to a child, but Ye Qiu wielded the Bahuang Sword to compensate for this disadvantage.
No matter what kind of soul attack Bai Ye unleashed, Ye Qiu simply slashed with the Bahuang Sword.
The frustrating thing for Bai Ye was that his renowned level soul could not do anything to Ye Qiu’s lesser soul.
Souls are inherently fragile, even at their advanced martial arts level. Generally, soul attacks are not used unless absolutely necessary, as a small mistake could lead to soul annihilation, which is far more serious than physical injury and could lead to death.
At present, Bai Ye had no choice but to entangle Ye Qiu’s soul.
Ye Qiu’s Soul Body wielded the Bahuang Sword, continuously launching Sword Qi. If he had a physical body, such attacks wouldn’t bother Bai Ye at all. Even as a Soul Body, they posed little threat to him, but Ye Qiu’s relentless Sword Qi was persistent, making long-term survival dangerous for Bai Ye.
"You forced my hand!" Bai Ye was tormented by the Sword Qi of the Bahuang Sword, yet unable to remove its threat. Finally, Bai Ye resorted to powerful soul techniques.
Wave...
Bai Ye’s soul aura emitted a peculiar fluctuation, making Ye Qiu wary. He knew Bai Ye, irritated by the Bahuang Sword’s Sword Qi, was now preparing a powerful soul attack. Ye Qiu wouldn’t allow him any chance to gather sufficient strength against him.
"I won’t beat him, but I’ll sure annoy him." Ye Qiu’s eyes flickered. He continued wielding the Bahuang Sword, continuously slashing Sword Qi, forcing Bai Ye to defend. This way, Bai Ye couldn’t concentrate on forming new techniques, repeatedly being interrupted by Ye Qiu at critical moments, causing him internal angst.
Swish.
Bai Ye’s Soul Body fired needles, much like Ye Qiu’s earlier soul attack form, capable of piercing souls.
Ye Qiu used the Bahuang Sword as a shield, intercepting these mental attacks one by one. Suddenly, Ye Qiu’s heart skipped a beat, and when he looked at Bai Ye again, he saw flames dancing on Bai Ye’s hand.
These flames were neither Rule Power nor ordinary flames; they were very peculiar, a special force.
"Today, I’ll let you taste the spirit soul fire. I want you to understand the cost of daring to provoke my soul form. I’ll use the Spirit Soul Fire to burn you eternally, to gradually incinerate your soul entirely." Bai Ye held flames called Spirit Soul Fire, a highly advanced soul technique specifically targeting souls.
Gazing at the soul fire, Ye Qiu felt a sense of danger, recognizing the fire’s exclusive targeting of souls, rendering it ineffective against anything else.
"Spirit Soul Fire, burn him mercilessly!" Bai Ye shot the Spirit Soul Fire toward Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu slashed with the Bahuang Sword, but it was as if he was cutting through air—the Spirit Soul Fire showed no fluctuation, bypassing the Bahuang Sword, racing toward him.
Not good!
The Bahuang Sword had no effect, leaving Ye Qiu shocked, retreating rapidly.
Yet the Spirit Soul Fire seemed fixated on Ye Qiu; no matter how he moved back, it pursued him relentlessly, ignoring the Bahuang Sword’s attacks.
"The Spirit Soul Fire, my Demon God Sect’s unique secret technique; even divine weapons can’t hinder it. This is the terrifying aspect of the Spirit Soul Fire. Enjoy the taste of your soul being burned." Bai Ye laughed gleefully.
Regardless of Ye Qiu being Ge Tian’s heir, Bai Ye, feeling a sense of satisfaction, was intent on witnessing Ye Qiu’s soul burning.
Swish.
The Spirit Soul Fire finally clung to Ye Qiu, who initially thought his soul would be reduced to ashes. But after struggling continuously, he didn’t feel any discomfort in his soul.
"Huh? Unscathed?" Ye Qiu realized his Soul Body wasn’t the torment Bai Ye claimed. He felt no adverse effects.
"Could it be due to the invisible Rule Armor?" Ye Qiu suddenly remembered the Rule Armor, infused with Faith Power, which had helped him withstand Heavenly Tribulations and was now blocking the Spirit Soul Fire’s burn.
Ye Qiu’s mind stirred. He intentionally displayed suffering, shouting loudly, pretending to be in agony from the Spirit Soul Fire’s distress.
"Haha..." Seeing this, Bai Ye was quite pleased, believing even Spirit Soul Fire couldn’t kill a native of lesser realm level.
Unbeknownst to Bai Ye, as he relished this moment, a minute grain of sand was slowly advancing towards his Soul Body.
Suddenly, Ye Qiu ceased all struggle and gave Bai Ye a sly smile, saying calmly, "Smash!"
Seeing Ye Qiu’s action, Bai Ye paused for a moment. Then he felt a strong wind approaching, and witnessed the Emperor Bell descending from the sky.
And then, nothing more!
Poof...
Soul shattered, dissipated.
Ye Qiu had unexpectedly killed a renowned level expert. This scene left him feeling unsettled for a long time.
