Chapter 944:
Seeing all his trump cards being completely destroyed by Qin Qi.
Zhu Donglai clearly realized that the situation was dire, and his voice quivered as he spoke candidly, "Fellow Daoist, it’s all a misunderstanding. Let bygones be bygones; why don’t we stop here?"
Qin Qi sneered coldly.
"Isn’t it a bit late to say we should stop now?"
He didn’t like wasting words; when he was in a dominant position, he preferred to take his enemy’s life first.
In the midst of speaking, a large amount of Celestial Spirit True Qi had formed a besieging posture towards Zhu Donglai.
Zhu Donglai glared angrily, "Kid, originally I wasn’t planning to reveal this unless necessary, but you forced my hand!"
Suddenly, mana surged around him, seeming to summon something extraordinary.
Soon, a peculiar-looking bear sprang out of a pouch on his waist.
The bear had luxuriant fur and appeared quite foolish. It looked odd because, despite being a bear, it was only the size of a human’s head.
Once summoned by Zhu Donglai, it flipped over and stood on his shoulder.
Then, like a curious baby, it looked around in astonishment, seemingly curious about everything.
"Stop looking, Devourer, kill this kid for me!"
"Otherwise, if you lose today, I’m completely doomed. I don’t want to enter the Ghost King Sect Master’s banner!"
As he spoke, mana surged around him, manipulating the bear named Devourer.
The Devourer seemed to be bound by some terrifying restriction.
Under Zhu Donglai’s mana control, its fur gradually turned extremely dark.
Then, its body’s energy underwent a terrifying surge, suddenly gazing at Qin Qi and opening its not-so-large mouth.
"Qin Qi, be careful!" a mysterious woman’s voice suddenly shouted.
Qin Qi wasn’t sure of the Devourer’s power, but when he met the bear’s gaze, a palpable terror flashed through his heart.
Just as that terror was born...
The Devourer’s mouth emitted a strange sound wave.
When this sound wave descended, Qin Qi’s body froze, and he stood rooted without any warning.
His eyes also became unfocused, lifeless like a corpse.
Seeing this, Zhu Donglai, who was sweating coldly, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Donglai twisted his neck, "Kid, I told you to back down, but you wouldn’t listen. This Devourer is a Spirit Pet that the Sect Master painstakingly raised, investing significant resources!"
"If it wasn’t for the Sect Master being in seclusion and entrusting its care to me, how could I be so lucky to possess such a precious Spirit Pet?"
After speaking, he waved his mana, intending to take Qin Qi’s life.
However, just as he was about to approach Qin Qi.
The originally stiff Qin Qi suddenly had a drastic change in his aura.
His once surging Yang Qi abruptly turned cold and eerie.
Soon, a vague vision of an extraordinarily beautiful woman appeared, holding a Magical Treasure resembling a nail.
With a gentle point.
The nail transformed into blue light and, with a swish, pierced into Zhu Donglai’s chest.
"Not good!"
By the time Zhu Donglai realized, it was already too late!
The mysterious woman’s voice emanated from Qin Qi’s body, "Targeting souls, as if no one else can. This Devourer will be ours today..."
Zhu Donglai trembled, trying to struggle, but it was clearly too late!
Soon, he felt as if his body was emptied and fell from the sky with a thud.
Without the support of a Magical Treasure, his Foundation Establishment Stage body plummeted from high, turning into a mist of blood upon impact.
On the bow of the ship, only the foolish-looking Devourer bear continued to stare dumbly around.
"Qin Qi!"
The mysterious woman’s voice thundered into Qin Qi’s mind.
Upon hearing the call, Qin Qi shivered and suddenly woke up.
He then, drenched in cold sweat, surveyed his surroundings, "What happened, what’s going on?"
The mysterious woman chuckled, "It’s nothing, I’ve already dealt with this Evil Cultivator for you."
With his Divine Soul active, Qin Qi sensed Zhu Donglai was dead and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Was it the Shocking God Needle?"
"Exactly, luckily I had the foresight to have you purchase this Shocking God Needle, aware that the Secret Realm has many complicated methods!"
The mysterious woman leisurely added, "Especially those Evil Cultivators, or else today would’ve been hard to resolve!"
Qin Qi inquired, "What was happening earlier, the bear shouted and it felt like I nearly lost my soul!"
"I felt my body was intact, my consciousness clear, yet I couldn’t control myself!"
The mysterious woman laughed, "It’s understandable, since creatures like the Devourer are extremely rare even within the Secret Realm!"
"It requires gathering beasts with innate Yin bodies and refining them over years to form. They used to exist only in legends, and yet the Ghost King Sect actually created one."
"Though it appears to be just in its juvenile form, it’s a valuable asset; perhaps even more valuable than a Spiritual Treasure!"
Qin Qi glanced at the dazed little bear, "This little fellow is more precious than a Spiritual Treasure?"
"Right." The mysterious woman slowly replied, "Its value stems from its ability to perform something called Soul Wind!"
"Soul Wind?" Qin Qi looked puzzled.
The mysterious woman leisurely explained, "Yes, Soul Wind can directly attack an opponent’s soul. It can knock the soul out of the body or outright obliterate it!"
"If your Divine Soul wasn’t far stronger than your peers, you’d have lost your life!"
Qin Qi’s eyes widened.
Wow, it can destroy souls directly?
But Qin Qi soon remarked, "However, with the Shocking God Needle, this bear’s utility to me isn’t as high, right?"
The mysterious woman shook her head, "What are you thinking? With my status, I can only intervene in crucial moments. Besides, the Devourer can do far more than me."
"How so?" Qin Qi questioned.
The mysterious woman straightforwardly said, "Even though I utilize the Shocking God Needle to attack the soul, it fundamentally only impacts the Sea of Consciousness! It’s not a true soul attack! Destroying the Sea of Consciousness merely causes severe soul damage!"
"In contrast, the Devourer truly assaults the soul. Simply put, this bear’s damage potential against spiritual entities is immense!"
"Especially against yin ghosts, it’s nearly like sustenance for it."
"Also, this creature is only a juvenile now, wait until it matures, then you’ll realize its might! Though who knows how much of its legendary Divine Skills it can exhibit!"
