Chapter 22: Swallowing the Spirit of the Yin Demon

Qin Yu was somewhat apprehensive. In order to stop these terracotta soldiers, they needed to be completely blown apart, otherwise, they would never die. However, there were thousands of them here and with his current strength, going against so many would only be a road to ruin. He wasn’t even able to run away because the cave’s entrance had been blocked by the stone gate.

Right now, he was still too weak and barely had any methods for attacking. Apart from the first form of Rushing Thunder Palm, he didn’t have any other attacking skills. Plus, the Bone Corroding Evil Winds Palm skill that he recently learned didn’t have much of an effect on these terracotta soldiers. Fortunately, he still had the body movement skill, Cloudtrack Phantom, so he could easily dodge.

He couldn’t continue like this, or else the only road left for him would be death. Qin Yu’s mind whirled, his gaze like electricity as he stared at Wang Murong who was standing at the front, serenely watching him fight. He opened his mouth and shouted, “Miss Murong, save me!”

Wang Murong heard Qin Yu’s cry for help and her lips curved into a strange smile as she moved. At first, it seemed as if she was going to continue watching, but when she heard Qin Yu’s shout, she flew over to him.

A *bang* echoed. Qin Yu had just fallen at Wang Murong’s feet, blood spilling from his mouth. He looked miserable.

“Qin Xiong, nothing’s wrong right?” Wang Murong wore a faint smile as she bowed her head to ask. Unexpectedly, there wasn’t the slightest trace of concern on her face.

“Nothing’s wrong with me, but something will with you.” Qin Yu raised his head, a sharp light flashing through his eyes. Only the afterimage of his hand waving could be seen as he swiftly and accurately sealed Wang Murong’s acupuncture points.

“What are you doing?” Wang Murong paled, crying out as she tried to move back. However, a large hand had already firmly grabbed her white and delicate neck.

“Qin Xiong, wh—what’s the meaning of this?!” Wang Murong was alarmed. She couldn’t understand what was going on.

“Stop with the nonsense and make them stop!” Qin Yu shouted angrily as he looked at the soldiers approaching for an attack.

“Qin Xiong, how could I possibly make them stop?” Wang Murong said with misery.

“It seems like you won’t regret anything until you see your coffin!” Qin Yu’s body was enveloped by an icy killing intent as his right hand suddenly grabbed the top of Wang Murong’s head.

“Don’t! Fine, I’ll make them stop!” Wang Murong yielded and shouted at the approaching terracotta soldiers, “Return!”

The terracotta soldiers weren’t actual people, rather, they were puppets so they immediately retreated without any hesitation.

“Now, re—release me!” Wang Murong squeezed out the words with difficulty. It was getting harder to breathe.

Qin Yu sneered. “Release you? A trifling spirit of the Yin Demon’s qi dares to plot against this young master, steal the body of this young master’s friend, as well as swallow my spirit pearl? Do you still think that I would let you go?!”

“H—how could you tell?” Wang Murong’s face turned ashen with fear.

“If I couldn’t even figure this out, then this young master would be ashamed to have formerly been Xie Di! Now get out!” Qin Yu shouted loudly. He put force into his hand as his internal energy surged into Wang Murong’s head.

“No…! Ah…!!!” Wang Murong released a mournful, blood-curdling screech as black light suddenly shone from her head. A shadow flew out from Wang Murong’s forehead. It wanted to escape but a black pearl also flew out from Wang Murong’s forehead and directly chased after it.

“Roar!”

A pearl released a fierce tiger-like roar as the image of a giant tiger’s head formed in the air. Its jaws opened as it fiercely charged at the fleeing black shadow, aiming to swallow it in one mouthful.

“No—!”

The scream tore through the air as the black shadow was swallowed up. The image of the fierce tiger swiftly shrunk before finally fading into the bead.

The pearl that appeared just now was precisely Qin Yu’s spirit pearl. The Earth Spirit Pearl had just devoured the spirit of the Yin Demon’s qi and for a moment, released a black burst of energy and light. The burst of energy and light was so strong that even Qin Yu couldn’t help but shut his eyes.

The Earth Spirit Pearl was about to upgrade!

Sure enough, after the intense light dissipated, the Earth Spirit Pearl that flew into the air was more lustrous and dazzling than before. Two green veined patterns could faintly be seen on the pearl’s shiny, black body.

It directly crossed over from grade 0 to grade 2. No wonder it heedlessly rushed in here so desperately. The spirit manifestation of the Yin Demon’s qi was the best of the best and would provide rapid growth for the pearl. However, it was also very lucky. If Qin Yu hadn’t promptly discovered Wang Murong’s abnormalities that time and his sneak attack hadn’t succeeded, the Earth Spirit Pearl would’ve probably been refined by that spirit.

The Earth Spirit Pearl flew back after upgrading. It stopped in front of Qin Yu.

Qin Yu stared at it and scolded, “Zhu’er, 1 don’t be so mischievous again in the future! You must tell me in advance! Just look at how dangerous it was this time!”

The Earth Spirit Pearl understood, seeming to nod in midair.

Qin Yu relaxed his tone and instructed, “Alright, come back then.”

The Earth Spirit Pearl released a cry as it instantly disappeared into Qin Yu’s forehead, entering his sea of consciousness.

After the Earth Spirit Pearl entered his sea of consciousness, it immediately discharged all of the spiritual essences that it couldn’t digest, sending it back to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu hastily sat down and entered a meditative state, circulating his qi with rapt attention. He tried to absorb the spiritual essence with all his strength. His aura grew bit by bit.

*Boom*
