Chapter 82 Undead King

Ye Shaoyang scanned through the crowd of spirits that had exited and saw that they glowed cyan or green in color . These colors indicated that they were only hateful spirits and evil spirits respectively . Ye Shaoyang smiled and said, “A bunch of trash . ”

Old Guo frowned and asked, “This is strange, with the amount of Yin Qi present in the spirit nest and the time that they had, why are these spirits still so weak?”

Ye Shaoyang explained, “Feng Xinyu must have used the hundred spirit funneling formation to absorb all their power . Luckily for those weak spirits, they were in a spirit nest . Otherwise, they wouldn’t even survive . ”

After they heard his explanation, everyone grew even more worried . All of them began to wonder about the extent of Feng Xinyu’s strength . With the increased cultivation speed and the aid of the hundred spirit funneling formation, how powerful had she grown?

“O' mighty Heaven and Earth, with the power of Yin Yang, destroy!” Old Guo chanted . Then, he cut his middle finger and dripped blood onto his peach wood sword . With that done, Old Guo stabbed his wooden sword toward the first spirit in front of him . Xiao Ma and the others were also contributing . With two loud bangs, Xiao Ma shot a Japanese spirit . Immediately, it turned into wisps of primordial spirit .

Xiao Ma blew the smoke off the muzzle and said, “Satisfying!”

When Old Guo noticed this, he turned and scolded Xiao Ma, “Hey, those bullets cost money, okay! That was just a low level spirit . I could have destroyed it with my sword, so there is no need for you to waste your rounds . Only shoot at the awakened spirits!”

Then, Xiao Ma awkwardly asked, “But how do I know which ones are awakened spirits?”

“They have a red glow on them . Just leave those that glow green or white to me!” Right as he said that, he slashed and destroyed another spirit . Rui Lengyu stood at the next path—the Xiu path . Her moves were efficient and elegant, and she would wait for the perfect moment to give the perfect strike . Ye Shaoyang shook his head, as he admired her skills and beauty .

Then, Ye Shaoyang checked on Qin Feng, who proceeded in an even more relaxed manner . With his thousand year cultivation, he merely needed to squeeze the neck of a spirit to shatter them .

Ye Shaoyang observed for almost a minute . Then, he heard a sudden ring from the Dharma staff—the sign that the paths of destruction and the paths of life were about to switch .

Suddenly, a light flashed inside the three paths of life as if a bunch of swords had pierced into the spirits in that part of the formation . Instantly, the spirits inside were destroyed, and countless wisps of primordial spirit flew out . Not long after, spirits started to come out from the original paths of destruction . But this time, there were Lunar Specters and Earth Specters . Even a few red glowing awakened spirits appeared . However, this was not a challenge for the gang, and they handled the situation with ease .

Ye Shaoyang was now assured, so he turned his focus to the bigger problem at hand . He sat in front of Feng Xinyu’s corpse and used cinnabar ink to write down her name and Ba Zi on a sheet of blank talisman paper . Then, he placed her body in the lotus position in front of him and sliced both of her middle fingers . After this step, he cut his own fingers and pressed their injured fingers together . He forced his Heavenly Master blood into her body, which caused the blood to slowly flow to her heart . historical

[TL note: Ba Zi - date of birth and eight characters of a horoscope]

With their blood connected and their souls in close proximity, Ye Shaoyang could utilize one of the most powerful soul summoning spells—the Maoshan Soul-tracking spell .

Ye Shaoyang closed his eyes and chanted the incantation for the Maoshan Soul-tracking spell . Now, with their body’s connected, he activated his Divine Eye and began to search for Feng Xinyu’s soul . Suddenly, Ye Shaoyang’s brow furrowed . He felt her soul, and he knew that her three Hun and seven Po had combined . She was now a complete soul . Her soul stayed in one of the corners of the spirit nest and did not move . Even though Ye Shaoyang mainly used his Divine Eye to sense her location, he could also sense her immense power . With the incantation of the Maoshan Soul-tracking spell, Ye Shaoyang tried to move Feng Xinyu’s soul .

Her soul shook and was forcibly moved about 10 meters . She was moved to the center of the spirit nest . However, Feng Xinyu would not let this continue . She shook her body, and the Yin Qi in her surroundings entered her . Then, a burst of energy abruptly shook off Ye Shaoyang’s projection . Ye Shaoyang felt severely shocked . Feng Xinyu had still managed to push him away even though he had connected to her physical body through blood . He even had her name and her Ba Zi, and he was using the most powerful summoning spell of Manshan sect .

There was only one explanation for this—her cultivation must have surpassed that of a supreme spirit; she must have almost reached the level of a Spirit overlord!

This set back messed up Ye Shaoyang’s plan, If I can’t bring her soul to her corpse, we’ll have to fight her the hard way then! Ye Shaoyang knew Feng Xinyu’s plan . She clearly knew that she was not their match since he had the aid of Rui Lengyu and Qin Feng . So, she was going to stay back and let the weaker spirits tire them out . If they were not able to beat her, she would run away with ease . She waited and hid to watch for an opportunity to kill everyone . Additionally, she would have to go through the Formation of Eight Paths if she left now . Feng Xinyu’s actions could only be described as evil . Ye Shaoyang thought to himself, I must trap her soul in her body . Otherwise, we’ll have a hard time dealing with her . If she manages to escape, many people will die . She might even cause an apocalypse .

Ye Shaoyang did not plan to risk the public . But what could he do? The Maoshan Soul-tracking spell had failed . Ye Shaoyang thought for a long time . Finally, he came up with an idea . Even though it was a very vulgar thing to do, it might just work . Ye Shaoyang looked at the gang to check how they were doing . Even though they currently held the spirits back, more and more awakened spirits had appeared . There were even some high level specters . Ye Shaoyang evaluated the situation and thought that it would be best to help destroy these weak spirits first . Then, he would deal with Feng Xinyu later .

He went up to Old Guo with a confident smirk . Then, he taped Old Guo’s shoulder, “Hey, I’ll take your post . You just hang back and shoot them from behind . ”

These words surprised Old Guo . He turned around to check on the progress on Feng Xinyu, but there was no change . With a puzzled look, Old Guo asked, “What’s going on?”

“I’ll tell you later,” Ye Shaoyang took out his date wood sword and started to slash the spirits and specters .

As time passed, the Formation of Eight Paths switched paths again . But suddenly, the purple cloud on the path of life was pushed away . Then, a large being slowly walked out and passed through all the spirits . The sight before their eyes shocked everyone—a humanoid monster had appeared . It had black skin and a fleshless face . It only a bare skull as a head . It had a large surface of bone smashed in around its nose; the little fractured bones left a crunched up mess on its face . Xie Yuqing, who had Trypophobia, immediately vomited when she saw its face .

Even though this sight creeped Ye Shaoyang out, he pulled Old Guo back and stood in front of the monster, “Everyone, stay back and listen to my orders . This monster is an undead king!”

The phrase ‘undead king’ stunned everyone . Then, Xiao Ma mumbled, “Isn’t that the highest level for an undead?”

“If they cultivate in the usual way, it is the highest level achievable,” Ye Shaoyang explained . He knew that this was going to be a hard fight . Even though the undead lacked intelligence, they had tough skin and flesh, difficult to pierce . Additionally, undead kings had a tremendous speed increase compared to the lower ranked undead .
