Chapter One Hundred and Seventeen – What Happened

Even though it was the first time he was using his consciousness in this way, but Zuo Mo’s spiritual control was much stronger than this yin fiend. He hadn’t processed all those materials for nothing. His spirit was much stronger than the yin fiend in the first place, and his control was the same. It was just that he hadn’t know how to use it. Seeing how the yin fiend in front of him was using its consciousness, Zuo Mo felt that the paper on the window easily broke.

One burst of consciousness, shaped like a needle, burrowed into the yin bead.

But the yin energy inside the yin bead was too dense. This bit of consciousness was too weak. Zuo Mo wasn’t someone that stuck to rote. He quickly separated a few more strands of consciousness and merged them together before it was just able to enter the yin bead!

Once his consciousness entered the yin bead, Zuo Mo immediately felt an astounding change!

He seemed to be situated in a grey world. Dense yin energy was floating all around him, cold, and strange.

Zuo Mo’s mind became blurred. Only when he felt the hardness coming from his feet did he suddenly wake!

The consciousness that had entered the yin bead had come from him. The feelings that it transferred back had conflicted with his own consciousness, and created this momentary daze suddenly.

It was complicated to describe but it was only the flick of a finger.

A inky black yin splinter appeared in front of the yin fiend. As his the yin splinter also formed, Zuo Mo felt a terrifying presence and became wary. Luckily, his own ”yin splinter” had formed at the same time. It was strange but the yin fiend still kept its original shape. However, it turned from grey to crystal clear without any imperfections.

Even though he had copied everything the yin fiend had done, but Zuo Mo still was not very confident. He emboldened his heart and threw out this clear crystal bead

The yin fiend sent out the yin splinter at the exact same time.

The inky black yin splinter moved, and howls started. It was like the crying of infants, the yin energy rippling!

Seeing such a strong presence, Zuo Mo became even less confident. His right hand holding the Water Drop sword, he forced himself to remain calm. He decided, the moment it turned bad, he would definitely use Li Water Burning Heavens even if it meant he would be wounded! He had already been injured before when he had reversed channeled his ling power. If he did Li Water Burning Heavens, his injuries would worsen but he didn’t have any better choices.

Only now did he realize that what he trusted the most was [Li Water Burning Heavens]. Pu Yao had spoke of the grand power of the yin fire bead but he had never used it before, and he had almost failed in the process of making the yin bead. Zuo Mo didn’t know if its power would be weakened due to that.

He had personally experienced the power of the seal soldier, and it was a good thing, but it took time to recite the spell for this thing, and to cast a spell. If he met an emergency, he wouldn’t have the time to use it.

There was only [Li Water Burning Heavens]. As long as he had the Water Drop sword, he could cast it at any time.

He couldn’t help but grimace. It was not hard to cast [Li Water Burning Heavens] but it was limited by his cultivation. If he was the least bit uncareful, he could be wounded. He decided that after he returned, he would definitely study some more life-saving moves.

Readying himself, Zuo Mo threw all his thoughts to the back of his mind, all of his attention fixed on the inky black yin splinter.

The clear crystal bead soundlessly drew the most normal projectile curve. There was no sound, no presence. The presence of the black yin splinter was astounding. All the yin energy in the surroundings seemed to be attracted, a cold wind blowing, causing Zuo Mo’s clothes to flap. It also cooled down Zuo Mo’s heart. The howls that came from every direction, the dark and coldness that entered from every pore. If it was a person with a weaker mental state, they probably wouldn’t even have the thought of fighting under this presence.

In the corner, Pu Yao watched, stunned, as the bead and splinter hit.

Poof!

There wasn’t the imagined explosion. There was no light. There was only a clear sound like a bubble popping.

But with this clear sound, the ever present howls instantly stopped. That bone-aching dark cold suddenly dissipated.

Holding the Water Drop sword, already prepared to fight for his life, Zuo Mo was stunned in his spot.

After the hit, the crystal bead had turned into a clear ball of light, and that astoundingly powerful black yin splinter had actually been melted by this clear light, disappearing in the blink of an eye. The still-glowing ball headed for the yin fiend. It was like the yin fiend was paralyzed, not moving as it allowed the ball of light to hit its body.

The yin fiend didn’t make a sound as it was hit. It quickly melted and disappeared like a snowman, along with the ball of light. There was nothing remaining.

The instant the ball of light disappeared, Zuo Mo’s mind blanked.

After a while, Zuo Mo focused as he looked dumbly at the empty ground.

What… … what had happened?

The instant the ball of light and the yin fiend had disappeared at the same time, Pu Yao’s pupil had suddenly shrunk from behind Zuo Mo but it quickly recovered.

“Pu, this… … what is this?” Zuo Mo turned around and stammered a question. He had thought of many different results but what happened had definitely not been one of them.

Pu Yao said disdainfully, “Blind cat bumping into a dead mouse.”

Zuo Mo definitely wouldn’t accept such an irresponsible explanation from Pu Yao. He took out another yin bead, added a bit of consciousness to it. After the yin bead became a crystal bead again, he threw it out.

Poof. The crystal bead hit the ground, a light flashed, and then it disappeared, not even leaving a hole on the ground.
