Chapter 330: Withering (2/2)

Bai Tianyi snorted, waved his hand and a spiritual energy sword at the size of five meters suddenly chopped at the figure.

Before the figure had time to move, it was cut in half, but contrary to what one might expect, no blood was spilled.

Looking puzzled, they walked over to look at the now-dead figure, only to find that there was no blood in his body, his entire body seemed as withered as the grass they had stepped upon when they arrived.

”Interesting,” Xue Wei muttered as he looked around. He nudged the corpse with his feet, and just as the foot came into contact with the skin, it turned into dust and started to float away in the wind.

”They are coming,” Hei Gou said after a bit of hesitation, he looked around and saw that hundreds of figures had surrounded the entire group.

These figures had various degrees of decay. Some were completely withered away, some were more human-like, but all of them had dull, dead eyes.

”I wonder what is hidden on this island,” Xue Wei muttered what they were all thinking about. To be able to take over everyone's mind like this was simply outstanding, and also quite frightening.

”There is a spirit here,” Luoluo said, but she did not sound happy about her discovery.

”It is an evil spirit,” Bai Tianyi added, but neither Xue Wei nor Hei Gou or Lin Xiao knew anything about evil spirits, so they just looked at him, curious as to what it was.

”Evil spirits are vile spirits,” Bai Tianyi began explaining. ”Spirits rely on spiritual energy to increase their strength. But usually, they do not kill for the sake of gaining spiritual energy. However, some spirits kill anything they come across for soul power.

”The more they kill for the sake of soul power, the more bloody their souls become, and eventually they will become evil spirits or blood spirits.

”An evil spirit can be evil from creation. If they are born on a battlefield, their entire core is born from death and blood, and then it is their nature to become evil spirits.

”This was supposed to have been a battleground for Kings and Emperors, so, naturally, an evil spirit has been born over the passing of time.”

”We might have a problem though,” Luoluo cut in, and Bai Tianyi stayed silent, nodding his head.

Xue Wei looked at them wondering what the problem could be, but what he heard next made a chill run down his spine.

”If this spirit has managed to absorb the soul power of the Kings and Emperor experts, then we have truly entered a death trap,” Luoluo smiled wryly.

”Emperors and Kings can seal their soul power,” Bai Tianyi continued to explain. ”This is usually done in the purpose of finding an heir to their legacy, but if the spirit has managed to get its hands on this energy, then we are likely to be facing a dangerous entity. An entity we can't face at all.”

”It should not be that serious,” Xue Wei said hesitatingly. ”The flood dragon would not have sent us in here if we had no chance of survival.”

He did not know the flood dragon too well, but he could feel the reverence and respect the dragon felt towards him. It would never harm him intentionally.

He was silent for some time, and then he looked at the figures who continued to stumble forward. Their speed was slow, and their movements clumsy.

”Can this energy help you?” Xue Wei suddenly asked as he looked at Luoluo and Bai Tianyi. ”Can we take the energy and share it between the two of you?”

Bai Tianyi and Luoluo were always arguing, but this time they looked at one another and grinned. ”We can even steal it if the evil spirit has consumed it,” Luoluo snickered.

Xue Wei did not know too much about spirits, but he smiled and nodded his head.

He could sense that these two spirits were eager to get their hands on the soul power and spiritual energy. As their friend, when there was something they wanted, he would naturally support them to the best of his ability.

His friends were aware of this, and they looked gratefully at Xue Wei. Hei Gou and Lin Xiao were also smiling and grinning when they saw that they were all on the same level. None of them were eager to leave the island.

”Well, first off, we have to get rid of these withered experts.”

Having said this, Xue Wei flashed towards the withered creatures in front of him. All of them were Heavenly Experts, but having lost their lives, and all their soul energy, they were like mechanical dolls that were unable to move fast.

Inner Might - Qi Sword Style!

Forbidden Rush!

Xue Wei rushed, and his sword was being brandished with a flourish, head after head was being decapitated and they fell to the ground, some disintegrating while others had been dead for a shorter amount of time, their bodies only partly vanishing.

Xue Wei, Bai Tianyi, Hei Gou, Lin Xiao, and Luoluo were efficiently disposing of every one of the withered experts, they did not even break a sweat as they killed them, and soon the hundreds of experts had turned to dust that was blowing in the wind, small hills of dirt on the ground and partly destroyed corpses.
