Chapter107 An Out-of-the-body Experience (2/2)
Ling Yuxuan smiled wickedly. He glanced over to her. At the inn, she had put on her clothes in a hurry and was looking a little disheveled. After their escape, Sword Qi had slashed through her attire, revealing her naked flesh in the gentle breeze. In the dim dusklight, she looked dreamy and alluring.
Seeing Ling Yuxuan's wicked gaze, Luo Shangyan quickly pulled her clothing together. Ling Yuxuan gave a lusty smile. ”Such a pretty little thing. Well, let your young master enjoy himself first... ” Then, he said to Xiao Chen coldly, ”After 30 minutes, the Immortal-Binding Rope will use up all your True Energy. Then I will deal with you!”
Cold sweat kept trickling down Xiao Chen's forehead. The man was not raising a false alarm. Not only could he not move now, his inner True Energy kept dissipating. He yelled, ”Senior Sister Luo! Run!” He knew that Luo Shangyan was still at Lv 8 Qi Refining Realm and belonged to the healing branch like Li Muxue. She could not fight Ling Yuxuan at Lv 2 Foundation Building Realm. If she ended up in his hands, the consequences would be dire.
Ling Yuxuan smiled evilly. ”Run then. It will be more interesting when an eagle pounces on a hare. I'll shred the layers of your clothes one by one... ” With these words, his figure shifted and he pounced on Luo Shangyan.
Shocked, Luo Shangyan quickly ducked to one side. Yet how could she be faster than Ling Yuxuan? She had just gone a few paces before he grabbed her wrist. In her panic, she condensed out a white radiance, striking Ling Yuxuan with her other hand's fingertips. However, her inner strength was too weak. She could not injure Ling Yuxuan. Instead, this itchless, painless sensation excited him even more.
Ling Yuxuan smiled evilly and quickly sealed her True Energy, making her an ordinary girl. Xiao Chen knew what would happen next and cried hoarsely, ”You beast! Stop!”
Ling Yuxuan became more and more excited. He pulled Luo Shangyan nearly 10 meters close to where Xiao Chen was. ”Hey hey, I heard that you betrayed the Zhou State because of this pretty thing... Hey hey... ” Then, he ripped off one of Luo Shangyan's sleeves.
Her snowy-white shoulder with its faint arc was exposed to the air. Ling Yuxuan's eyes took on a reddish cast. He ripped off the lower half of her skirt and left her jade-like legs naked in the breeze.
”Stop! Stop!” Xiao Chen's eyes were bloodshot. He was like a bound-up, raging dragon. The parts of his body trussed tightly by the Immortal-Binding Rope was dripping with blood. The more he struggled, the tighter the boundage. A short while later, his whole body was already distorted.
Ling Yuxuan began to roar with laughter. Luo Shangyan's entrancing face was already pale with terror. Tears kept streaming down but her inner strength had been sealed. She could not struggle. If she was ravished in front of Xiao Chen, she would rather die. She tried to bite her tongue off. Ling Yuxuan's gaze flashed like lightning. He seized her lower jaw and sealed the acupoint on her throat. It would be impossible for her to bite off her tongue now.
”Ah! Ah! Ah!” Bellows reverberated throughout the entire forest. Xiao Chen struggled strenuously. But the Immortal-Binding Rope kept tightening its grip. One could faintly hear the sound of crushing bones.
Ling Yuxuan's smile became more terrifying. He sealed Luo Shangyan's acupoint. ”Lad, you caused my training to fail and let someone disfigure my cousin. Today, I will make you suffer before you die... ” As he said this, he started to strip off Luo Shangyan's clothes.
Xiao Chen's eyes were splitting apart. A black Qi flashed across the area between his brows. He seemed to recall Ling Yin's instructions again. ”Chen'er, if you are ever bound by someone else's magic treasure and your opponent's cultivation isn't much better than yours, try the meditation method of the Yaoguang School. Make your Soul come out of your body from its third layer. But your Soul cannot leave for too long, or it can never return and will linger around heaven and earth forever... ”
At this moment, Xiao Chen no longer struggled blindly. He shut his eyes, quietly mobilizing his energy, using the Mystic Cyan Sect's Yaoguang meditative method. From the third layer, his Soul emerged.
Ling Yuxuan did not hear anything behind him. He turned his head and found Xiao Chen's eyes shut. He grinned hideously. ”Hey hey! Can't bear to watch? Try plugging your ears as well!”
By now, Luo Shangyan's skirt had almost been completely torn. She was left with two pieces of undergarments. Her arms and her legs, fair as lotus roots, were all exposed. She could no longer move. Neither did she struggle. She only closed her eyes weakly as tears coursed down her face.
Ling Yuxuan acted as if deranged. His hideous laughter reverberated throughout the entire forest. Suddenly, a black shadow streaked out from Xiao Chen's body. Ling Yuxuan's smile instantly froze. He shouted in grave shock, ”What the... ” Before his voice had faded, this dark shadow had edged forward.
”The Soul out of the body! Who... who are you really?” Ling Yuxuan's face paled. He no longer bothered with Luo Shangyan. He raised his Qi to erect a defense.
”Someone you can't afford to offend!” The black shadow gradually materialized, becoming translucent, with the exact look of Xiao Chen. Before he had finished, he had converged Qi out from his palm into a blade and loped off Ling Yuxuan's arm.
Blood splattered everywhere. Ling Yuxuan almost passed out from the pain. Luckily, he had a Foundation Building Realm cultivation. He turned and tried to run.
”Can you run?” Xiao Chen's Soul gave a cold bellow. The force overwhelmed the heavens and the earth and converged. Huge crumbs of earth overturned. The force pressed Ling Yuxuan from every direction, almost shattering his bones and tendons. He spewed out a mouthful of mouth and fell limp to the ground, unable to move.
The power of a released Soul was only second to the Deliverance by Weapons. The price to pay was the exertion of the cultivator's Soul. Its extraordinary power was horrendous.
