Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 417 Blood Flowers Wither

Within the bipolar stillness, Luo Minghua, who was trapped and unable to move, was experiencing a raging storm in his heart. He wanted to ask Yue Guan Guimei if he had made a mistake, because Yue Guan Guimei was one of his own!
He didn't remember that the Polar Stillness Domain was a skill that couldn't distinguish between friend and foe. After all, this spirit fusion skill was famous in the spirit master world, and basically everyone with some influence knew the effects of this spirit skill.

"Within the domain, there is absolute stillness; it is truly a very practical martial soul fusion technique."

Yunhui clapped his hands and stepped out of the shadows.

She walked up to Luo Minghua and deftly took the Space Blade.

"Although I haven't refined it yet and can't use the power of this spatial artifact, the sharpness of the blade alone is enough to easily slit a person's throat, even a Title Douluo."

Swish!Swish!
The Space Blade drew two silver-white lines in Yun Hui's hand, passing through the throats of the two Title Douluos of the Body Sect, and two lines of blood appeared.

The next moment, the blood vessel burst, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

The two Title Douluo of the Body Sect were imprisoned by the Two Extremes Stillness Domain. Apart from their thoughts still functioning normally, they could do nothing else and could only watch helplessly as their lives rapidly withered away with the continuous loss of their blood.

This is what makes a Soul Master so special. If it were a Soul Beast of the same strength, let alone whether losing such a small amount of blood would be fatal, just breaking through its defenses would be no easy task. At least, the Space Blade, which cannot be used, couldn't do it.

"Luo Minghua, right? It's your turn next."

Yun Hui turned around, a nonchalant smile on her face, and walked towards Luo Minghua step by step, the spatial blade drawing dazzling sword flowers in her hand.

"Even though I can't use it, I can still feel how amazing the spatial power contained in this divine artifact is."

"Although the Xuanji Blade is of higher quality than the Space Blade, it seems to be weaker in terms of spatial power than yours, even though both are spatial artifacts."

"As expected of the artifact inherited by the God of Space, it is superior to the artifact of the God of Emotions in its specialization. No wonder you were able to escape from His Majesty back then."

"Goodbye, go to hell and reunite with your good brothers. Jixiang and Xu Keming are both looking forward to your early descent!"

After saying that, Yun Hui threw the Space Blade like a flying knife, and the tip of the blade pierced Luo Minghua's heart with perfect accuracy.

The sound of a sharp blade slicing through flesh rang in Luo Minghua's ears. Perhaps because he was still, the pain did not travel through his nerve fibers, and he felt no pain at all. All he felt was the helplessness and exhaustion of life slipping away.

"Um, Miss Yun, could you please hurry?"

Yue Guan, who was using a Martial Soul Fusion Technique, spared a portion of his mind and said:
"Among those we have imprisoned are two Title Douluos above level 95. The duration of the Polar Stillness Domain will not last until they bleed to death."

"Hmm?" Yunhui asked, slightly surprised.

"As their blood drains away, they become increasingly weak, so shouldn't the power consumed by the confinement also decrease accordingly?"

"No," Yue Guan replied quickly.

"What weakens with the loss of blood is vitality, not soul power."

"They are still at almost full soul power, so the power consumed to imprison them will not decrease due to blood loss."

"Alright, I understand." Yun Hui nodded helplessly, using the Space Blade to add several more fatal penetrating wounds to the three of them.

Blood loss accelerated dozens of times, and within moments, the three imprisoned individuals were left with only their last breath. A few seconds later, Luo Minghua, the weakest among them, was the first to succumb. The two Title Douluos from the Body Sect, despite their superior physical abilities, only managed to hold on for a few more seconds before following in his footsteps.

All three died. Yue Guan Gui Mei also withdrew from the Two Extremes Stillness Domain. The excessive consumption of soul power made their faces turn pale.

Next, it's time to tally up the spoils.

A black wind surged from the ghost's body, and its flesh and blood, when touched, turned into wisps of smoke and dissipated like snow meeting the sun. In the blink of an eye, only three skeletons remained, along with a few soul tools and several soul bones emitting a hazy light.

There are two pieces of soul bone from 100,000 years ago. One piece is the one that Luo Minghua snatched from the jaws of the Sea God City back then, and the other piece is naturally the bait to lure the other party into a trap.

Six pieces of soul bones that are ten thousand years old, and three pieces of soul bones that are one thousand years old.

The three thousand-year soul bones and the three ten-thousand-year soul bones were obtained from two titled Douluo of the Body Sect, while the remaining three ten-thousand-year soul bones were obtained from Luo Minghua.

"Five soul bones. Before this, there were four, and there was also a 100,000-year soul bone. And this is only a Soul Saint. It seems that this space inheritor's talent in soul power cultivation is just so-so."

Yun Hui herself currently only has five soul bones, three of which are over 50,000 years old and two of which are over 100,000 years old. Moreover, the attributes of all five soul bones are compatible with her martial soul, the Black and White Twin Flower.

Of the six common soul bones, only the left leg bone has the potential to be a top-quality soul bone with suitable attributes and an age of over 50,000 years.

"Miss Yun, now that things have developed to this point, do we still need to return to the Spirit Hall to continue our undercover work?"

The ghostly figure glanced at the alluring soul bone, then reluctantly turned away and asked.

Yun Hui collected the spoils and returned:
"His Majesty means that you don't need to return, but you can't appear directly on our side. Instead, you should hide in the shadows and create the illusion that the fate of the five of you is unknown."

"If you hide in the meantime and suddenly appear at some point in the future, it may have an unexpected effect."

"Yes, we understand." Yue Guan Gui Mei was immediately relieved. Although the undercover mission was not truly over, as long as they didn't return to the Spirit Hall, it was fine.

You know, infiltrating under the noses of two gods is a hundred times more exciting than swordplay.

In the past, if their undercover identities were discovered, escaping wouldn't have been difficult for them, given their abilities. But now...

Having been discovered as an undercover agent, Yue Guan Gui Mei was terrified that he couldn't escape the clutches of the two great gods. Heaven knows how they had managed to get through the past few days at the Spirit Hall.

After Yun Hui left, Yue Guan Gui Mei went to a secluded cave on a cliff and took out the ten-thousand-year-old soul bone that he had given them last time.

Because absorbing soul bones takes a considerable amount of time, and they couldn't easily explain where the two soul bones came from, fearing that they would be discovered, they delayed absorbing them.

"Level 98, here I come."

As a matter of course, Yue Guan sat on the ground and began absorbing the soul bone, with the ghostly figure who was a step slower protecting him.

"You damn chrysanthemum, you're so quick!"

Ghost cursed under his breath, but still stood guard to protect Yue Guan, though he didn't mean what he said.
