Chapter 1259 1170: Second Level
Seeing Wang Yan in front of them, the Yin Yang Half-Venerable and the Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable turned around and ran away like mice seeing a cat.
However, as soon as they turned around, they saw that behind them, an army of a hundred thousand Jiao Cavalry had already blocked all their paths of retreat.
The murderous aura of the hundred thousand Jiao Cavalry soared to the skies, boundless and endless, leaving the two Yin Yang Half-Venerables with no courage to charge forward, forcing them to turn back once more.
But when they turned back, they saw that Wang Yan was already standing behind them.
The Yin Yang Half-Venerable shuddered, gritting his teeth as he said, "You... you better not act recklessly. Although you are strong, if you kill me, you too will be seriously injured, and your hundred thousand Terracotta Soldiers won't have many left. Consider the cost and see if you're willing to pay it."
Hearing this, Wang Yan smiled faintly and said, "If I want to kill someone with strength similar to mine, perhaps it would require such a great cost. But to kill you is merely like killing a dog."
Upon hearing only the first half of Wang Yan's sentence, the Yin Yang Half-Venerable showed a hint of relief on his face. However, when he heard the second half, his face immediately turned to terror.
He exclaimed, and then his entire aura surged, posing a stance of fighting to the death with Wang Yan.
Yet, Wang Yan's gaze turned cold, then he pointed a finger and softly said, "Formless Soul Fire."
This "Formless Soul Fire" is the fourth soul skill of Wang Yan's Wolf Pattern.
Back at Mozi Academy, after Wang Yan killed the Half-Venerable Dragon, it was transformed from the demon soul of the Half-Venerable Dragon.
With these words, the space at Wang Yan's fingertip suddenly twisted, appearing like an invisible flame was burning.
At this sight, an intense sense of danger rose in the Yin Yang Half-Venerable's heart.
This sense of danger was much stronger than when he faced the Demon Venerable.
Thus, without a second thought, the Yin Yang Half-Venerable hurriedly retreated.
Even though he was backed by a hundred thousand Jiao Cavalry, the Yin Yang Half-Venerable hesitated not a bit.
Because he already felt that the invisible flame at Wang Yan's fingertip was far more terrifying than those hundred thousand Jiao Cavalry.
While retreating, the Yin Yang Half-Venerable waved his hands, taking out three magical treasures to block his way.
After taking out these three magical treasures, the Yin Yang Half-Venerable felt slight relief.
After all, these three magical treasures had accompanied him for years, blocking countless deadly moves from enemies and saving him several times.
But then the Yin Yang Half-Venerable's eyes widened, staring in horror ahead.
Because he saw that the invisible fire at Wang Yan's fingertip was unhindered by these three magical treasures and was already flying towards him.
Though at his front were three magical treasures, they seemed like nothingness.
Just as the Yin Yang Half-Venerable was stunned, the Formless Soul Fire had already flown to his front.
Having long been on battlefields, even though his heart was extremely shocked, upon seeing the Formless Soul Fire in front of him, he still raised his palms, forming a magic shield between his hands to block himself.
Magical treasures couldn't hold off the Formless Soul Fire, but the magic shield did.
However, the Formless Soul Fire only paused momentarily before burning a hole through the shield and flying straight inside.
At this point, the Yin Yang Half-Venerable had no room to maneuver, only watching the invisible flame fly to his forehead and disappear without a trace.
As the Formless Soul Fire entered the Yin Yang Half-Venerable's forehead, his entire body shook, and the sparkle in his widened eyes vanished, leaving them hollow and dull.
"Thump," the Yin Yang Half-Venerable's body fell backward, lying stiff on the ground, motionless.
This Formless Soul Fire specifically burns the soul.
Even with the capabilities of the Yin Yang Half-Venerable, his soul was as weak as an unborn infant, unable to withstand the burning of the Formless Soul Fire.
Upon seeing the Yin Yang Half-Venerable's death, Wang Yan raised his hand, unleashing a Power of Demon Patterns that enveloped the Yin Yang Half-Venerable, reclaiming over ten Storage Bags.
Wang Yan held these Storage Bags and, after a brief inspection, found that the legacy of a Half-Venerable was indeed substantial, with magical treasures and demon souls numbering in the hundreds.
Wang Yan did not hesitate and immediately stored the Storage Bags into the Starlight Ring.
After doing everything, Wang Yan turned his head to look at the Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable standing aside.
At this moment, the Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable was already dumbfounded.
His cultivation was on par with the Yin Yang Half-Venerable, and now that the Yin Yang Half-Venerable was killed in a blink by Wang Yan, he too couldn't avoid the same fate.
Seeing Wang Yan's gaze fixed upon him, the Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable felt as if death was staring at him.
"Thump," the Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable knelt before Wang Yan, pleading in terror, "Spare me, my lord, I am willing to submit to you."
"Submit?" Wang Yan squinted his eyes, lazily scanning the Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable.
The Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, submit. I am willing to offer one soul and spirit to you. If I disobey in any way, you can take my life at any moment."
A person naturally has three souls and seven spirits, losing one soul and spirit leads to death.
But the Demon Cultivator's soul is strong; losing one soul and spirit, they can still act normally.
Thus, the Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable can separate one soul and spirit and hand it to Wang Yan.
However, if Wang Yan destroyed that soul and spirit, it would wipe out the other two souls and six spirits, causing the Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable to die instantly.
By surrendering one soul and spirit, the Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable essentially gave his life to Wang Yan.
Losing one soul and spirit, it's undoubtedly better than being killed by Wang Yan now.
Wang Yan pondered for a moment, considering that he was new to the Underworld and indeed needed someone like the Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable, nodded in agreement.
Seeing Wang Yan's nod, the Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable breathed a sigh of relief, not daring to delay, and immediately focused all his energy.
His face showed signs of pain as bean-sized sweat droplets ran down his forehead, and blood trickled from the corners of his mouth. Shortly afterward, the Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable, as though suffering from a severe illness, appeared pale and collapsed to the ground.
Raising his palm, the Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable revealed two cloudy spheres floating in his palm, which were precisely one soul and spirit of the Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable.
Wang Yan raised his hand, capturing the soul and spirit, then flipped his palm as they disappeared.
Wang Yan absorbed the soul and spirit into the dark cherry of the Soul-Breaking Spear.
With the disappearance of the soul and spirit, the Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable felt an inexplicable emptiness, knowing that his life now lay at Wang Yan's whim.
One died, and one submitted. Though Wang Yan achieved great victory, there wasn't a single hint of pleasure on his face.
Luo Yuan, sitting idly by, had long lost his composure.
He initially thought Wang Yan's expressionless face was due to wearing a human skin mask.
But in reality, conquering two Half-Venerables meant little to Wang Yan.
Nowadays, Half-Venerables struggled to catch Wang Yan's interest.
Wang Yan then raised his head to look at the hundred thousand Jiao Cavalry in front of him, his heart delighted: this is just the first level of the Rejuvenation Technique, what kind of heaven-defying skills would the second level reveal?
