Time passed by quickly.
Cao Youdao's expression went from frenzied and venomous to calm and placid.
He was waiting.
He was waiting for Qin Ye to arrive.
He knew that Qin Ye would definitely come.
Forty minutes later, there was a soft knock on the door, "May I come back?"
"It's good that you still remember that I'm in touch with the world." Cao Youdao smiled, "Come back."
The door swung open, and the person who entered didn't look like a human at all.
It was still Qin Ye's physique. However, the whites of his eyes were pitch black, and his pupils were white.
His white hair fluttered in the absence of a breeze.
His skin was pale.
The quality of his Hell's Emissary uniform was much better than before. It was made of soft silk.
It was a black ceremonial robe embroidered with three circles of black and white Harken. He wore a black hollowed out six-piece hat.
Hanging from the belt around his waist was a token that he didn't have before.
The words written on it were written in blood-red letters - Soul Hunter.
Qin Ye walked in slowly. As expected, there weren't any other Yin spirits around.
All of the Yin spirits had been bitten to death by the mortal realm army.
There was simply no room for retreat.
Furthermore, now that he had become a Soul Hunter, Yin spirits would no longer be completely loyal to Cao Youdao.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk …" Qin Ye carried a 1.5-meter long scabbard on his back as he glanced at the ruins of the Orchid Clubhouse and lamented, "How rich and imposing, Fellow Daoist Cao. To think that you would destroy a facility worth millions just like that … You're so angry that you didn't even spit out blood. How cultured."
The corners of Cao Youdao's lips curled up slightly, but he remained silent.
Cao Youdao placed both hands on the hilt of his sword. His sword was already unsheathed and buried several inches into the ground.
His Soul Hunter uniform danced wildly, and wisps of Yin energy poured out from his seven apertures and sleeves.
Qin Ye did the same. However, Qin Ye's expression was even more ferocious.
The whites of his eyes and the whites of his eyes were almost as though they were declaring that the two of them were completely different creatures.
"Do you know something?"
Cao Youdao finally spoke. His voice was calm, "I've thought about it for a long time, and I've come up with three answers."
His voice was somewhat hoarse, "Firstly, I hadn't expected your treasure to be able to conceal your aura.
Secondly … I've underestimated your shamelessness. Hiding under the umbrella of the mortal realm and completely abandoning the creed of Yin and Yang. You can say that you're shameless. "
It could be said that Qin Ye didn't want to be happy tonight.
What was shameless?
This was a tactical choice!
Cao Youdao continued, "Thirdly, I'd never expected that … you would actually possess a genuine proof of identity as an Emissary of Hell!"
"This is the only way that you'll be able to ascend to the Soul Hunter realm without the aid of Hell's Records … I don't have a single advantage over you.
This official's loss is not unjust. "
No one spoke. There was a moment of silence.
Qin Ye also retracted his cheeky expression and sighed, "I can't bear to lay my hands on my former colleagues either …"
"Can't bear it?" Cao Youdao sneered. "In this world, no one can tolerate the existence of another."
"If I don't die today, I'll turn around and think of a way to kill you."
Qin Ye smiled faintly, "That's right. Truth be told, I didn't want to be as exhausted as I was tonight. If not for the fact that I'd been forced to the underworld by a damned old hag, I wouldn't have even bothered to lift a finger.
Now that I think about it, the opponent's method of goading me was very clever … He could always accurately hit my G/spot … "
Cao Youdao chuckled, "If you were to become a Yama-King, wouldn't you be the most shameless Yama-King in history?"
"You flatter me. I just don't want to die. I'll kill whoever tries to kill me. If the world is at peace, you'll realize that I'm nothing more than a happy salted fish.
Alright … "Qin Ye slammed the scabbard onto the ground with a loud thud," Any last words? "
Cao Youdao smiled faintly and raised his sword, "One last question."
"Didn't you encounter the Hellguard of Range City earlier?
Did he kill you on the spot? "
Qin Ye smiled, "That's simple … Of course I did. How could I possibly be faster than a Hellguard?
That said … I used a treasure on me to disguise myself as a Hellguard, and I even told him that I was here to reap your life.
And so … the other party tactfully left. "
"It's far more advanced than my Hell's Records." Cao Youdao smiled and sighed. A split second later, his sword swept through the air and pierced straight towards Qin Ye's throat!
"How dare a newly ascended Soul Hunter act so presumptuously in front of an esteemed senior!"
Qin Ye tilted his head, and strands of his white hair fluttered wildly. Cao Youdao's furious roar echoed throughout the hall, "Today, I'm going to teach you what it means to be a Soul Hunter!"
In an instant, the sword in his hand transformed into thousands of cold stars.
Different from the last time, each sword strike was accompanied by the wailing of ghosts, disturbing one's mind.
Boom!!
The scabbard arrived before the sword. The massive demonhead scabbard was one foot and three inches wide and four feet and five inches long. It was covered in green flames as it met the rain of swords head-on.
Cao Youdao's eyes widened, and he let out a muffled grunt as he was sent flying three meters back!
He slammed into the wall with a loud thud.
The sword was agile, and the scabbard was powerful. When the two clashed, Cao Youdao's defeat was without a doubt.
Streams of green flames spread out like vipers. Before Cao Youdao could even shake off the flames in front of his eyes, the wind pressure in front of him intensified, and a muffled whooshing sound filled the air. Without any further hesitation, he let out a shrill cry, and two spots of green light shot out from his sleeves, colliding with the wind pressure in front of him.
There was a loud bang, and green flames shot out in all directions.
Cao Youdao's body almost sank into the wall. Fortunately, he managed to block the attack.
"Haa …" He heaved a sigh of relief and gritted his teeth. Then, his body abruptly exploded, transforming into gusts of nethergale that swirled around Qin Ye.
Almost simultaneously, Qin Ye's scabbard landed in its original spot. Amidst the tremors, a huge crack appeared on the surface of the scabbard.
At this moment, his Ghost Head Saber's hilt had a whole skeleton extending out from the skull, crawling on the saber's blade. The entire saber appeared to be made of a grayish-white bone.
It burned with an eerie green flame.
Without the domineering aura of an Emissary of Hell, the scabbard appeared even more sinister and ghostly.
It was incomparably befitting of his status as an Emissary of Hell.
A split second later, the nethergale transformed into a vortex of five to six meters large Yin energy that swirled around Qin Ye's body. Then, countless rays of pale green light appeared from within the vortex, shooting straight towards Qin Ye like a sky full of stars.
Clang, clang, clang!
Qin Ye's scabbard danced like a ball of flames. But as soon as he came into contact with the flames, his gaze suddenly froze.
So heavy …
He didn't know what the green flames were, but every single one of them was able to cause his demonhead scabbard to tremble slightly. One could well imagine how severe it would be if it landed on his body.
"Idiot!!" Just then, a voice called out, "Who told you to block it?"
Arthis?
Such a strong reprimand. It looks like she's fully awakened …
Qin Ye didn't have time to respond. Because at the same time, the flames converged from all directions, forming a circle of green flames that wrapped around him from all directions!
"Shit!!"
Qin Ye bellowed. The soul shackles in his sleeves shot out like a ferocious dragon emerging from the sea, forming a revolving wall of defense around him.
Boom!!!
Green flames shot out in all directions, bouncing off like a sky full of stars. But then, as nimble as a fish, it immediately swam back into the vortex.
"What the hell is this?
How can I not be a match for a former official whose license has been revoked? "Qin Ye exclaimed in shock.
"Yin artifact."
Arthis explained placidly, "There are some things that have been exposed to Yin energy for a long period of time. Over time, they would naturally form into Yin artifacts.
A Hunter-class cultivator would already be able to use some of Hell's techniques. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the proof of an Emissary of Hell.
Heaven and Earth don't recognise him, so he naturally wouldn't be able to borrow it. "
"Then I …"
"Idiot …" Arthis gritted her teeth, "As an official Emissary of Hell, everything on your body is a Yin artifact!
Furthermore, it's many times more powerful than his opponent's!
It's a pure product of Hell!
You're enjoying the incense offerings of billions of Yin spirits!
Wipe your hand with your saber and throw it out to kill him! "
Qin Ye wiped his hand with the back of his saber.
Then, he stared blankly at the soul sphere that floated out of his hand.
"Motherf * cker # @ *)!
(& #!
@！！！”
Arthis was infuriated. She forcibly suppressed the urge to execute Qin Ye with the Five Thunders of Execution and gritted her teeth, "Use!
Saber!
Blade!! "
Qin Ye gulped nervously and carefully made a small cut with the blade of his saber. He grimaced as blood dripped onto the blade of his saber.
"You …" Arthis gnashed her teeth, "I should really commend you for not running away in the face of Cao Youdao … I really thought that you'd changed a little …"
"What the hell do you know?!
Have I ever retreated when it's time to fight?
This is clearly unnecessary harm.
You can't even feel the pain when you're bleeding profusely from a car crash. Go to the hospital and have your pinky pricked, and I guarantee that you'll be ready to die! "
"... Why do I feel like you've become much more confident after I've been resurrected?
You actually have the energy to complain when facing an opponent of the same rank as you? "
As soon as the blood dripped onto the blade of the saber, the demonhead saber suddenly erupted with a blinding red light.
Just like a gust of wind, the Yin energy in the surroundings was swept away, and Cao Youdao's figure was once again revealed.
His expression was one of utter shock.
There was a string of prayer beads made of human skulls right beside him. There were a total of eighty-one of them, and they were currently circling around him. The eye sockets of the skulls were emitting green flames.
"Blade of Yin soldiers …" Cao Youdao stared at the blood-red saber with great reluctance as he gnashed his teeth, "You're just a newly ascended Soul Hunter … How could you possibly understand something like this?!!"
Whoosh … Before he could even finish speaking, a scarlet light illuminated the entire Orchid Clubhouse.
A figure slowly stood up from the edge of the saber.
It was only an inch in size, but Cao Youdao immediately retreated to the corner of the room as though he had just seen the most terrifying thing in the world.
The prayer beads that were circling around him also dimmed in the face of the scarlet light.
The humanoid figure appeared somewhat sleepy as it turned to look at Qin Ye, before bowing respectfully to him.
Then, it turned back towards Cao Youdao.
"No …"
But before Cao Youdao could even finish speaking, a powerful gust of wind suddenly swept across the air, and Cao Youdao's head fell to the ground!
Fast.
Incredibly fast.
Qin Ye didn't even see how the humanoid figure had struck. No … how could such a small figure possibly cause such a huge commotion?
In fact, Cao Youdao wasn't the only one who was affected earlier. His clothes, beard, and hair were all fluttering wildly.
Goosebumps appeared all over his skin.
Absolute suppression!
He suddenly felt as though the saber was no different from a dog.
And a warlock like me …
