Li Ye turned to look at the old man, his eyes shimmering with a blood-red glow. A bold smile spread across his face as he raised his right hand high, palm facing the sky, absorbing the overwhelming dark energy and soul power of the slain Wraith. The consumption of this soul power brought Li Ye a sense of exhilaration, and he let out a satisfied sigh.
As he absorbed this power, Li Ye coldly asked, "You raised that Wraith for so long, and I just swallowed it whole. Are you just going to stand there and watch?"
The old man chuckled in a low voice, "Their energy is chaotic and difficult to utilize effectively." As he spoke, he slowly stood up; his previously hunched figure gradually straightened, and the wrinkles on his aged face vanished at a visible pace, transforming him into a younger and more robust version of himself. He poked the ground with his cane, moved his neck a few times, and said, "But since you can absorb it all cleanly, this matter becomes simple. If I take over your body, I will naturally be able to control everything."
Hearing this, Li Ye sneered, "Why are so many people coveting my pure body? You think you can take over me?" With that, he assumed a stance and charged at the old man like a cannonball.
A glint of malice flashed in the old man's eyes. Unfazed, he lightly waved his cane, and a black barrier rose before him. Li Ye's attack crashed violently against the barrier with a loud bang, filling the air with waves of Spiritual Energy.
"Your power is indeed formidable," the old man said with a cold laugh, "but it's not enough in front of me."
Li Ye's expression hardened as he quickly stepped back to catch his breath. His companions gathered around him—Zhiruo, Yan Yuchen, Chen Hu, Liu Chengfeng, and Su Yue all watched the old man nervously, ready to support Li Ye at any moment.
"Li Ye, be careful; this old guy is not simple," Zhiruo whispered as her Cold Spirit Needle glimmered with cold light in her hand.
"Hmph, I know what I'm doing," Li Ye snorted coldly and swung his sword again as he charged toward the old man.
Yan Yuchen and Chen Hu quickly followed suit; their sword energy and fist winds intertwined to form a powerful wave of attacks aimed directly at the old man. Liu Chengfeng and Su Yue maneuvered on the flanks, searching for weaknesses in the old man's defenses to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
The old man sneered; with a light tap of his cane, black Spiritual Energy transformed into countless Soul Devourers that lunged toward Li Ye and his group. Li Ye's sword energy swept through them, shattering the Soul Devourers into pieces; however, they continuously regenerated as if they were endless.
"This guy's power is too bizarre!" Chen Hu gritted his teeth as he unleashed a punch that scattered one Soul Devourer.
"Don't force it; wait for the right moment to attack his true body!" Yan Yuchen calmly advised as her sword light flashed like lightning toward the old man.
The old man flickered out of sight and easily dodged Yan Yuchen's attack. He suddenly thrust his cane toward Li Ye's chest. Li Ye quickly evaded but was still struck by the Spiritual Energy on his chest; blood surged within him as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Li Ye!" Zhiruo exclaimed in shock as her Cold Spirit Needle shot out instantly toward the old man.
The old man sneered, swinging his cane to knock the Cold Spirit Needle away. He looked at Li Ye, a glimmer of greed flashing in his eyes. "Your body is indeed a good vessel. Come, let me replace you!"
Li Ye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze growing colder. He took a deep breath, and the Spiritual Energy within him erupted once more. The long sword, carrying the power of destruction, thrust straight at the old man's heart. The old man flickered and dodged the strike, leaning on his cane as he stood sideways. Li Ye frowned at the old man and coldly asked, "Who exactly are you?"
The old man smiled lightly and replied, "I am Xuan Yin Elder. I have been living in seclusion and cultivating here for several years, never leaving this village to harm anyone. I merely wait for prey to come to me. All those who die in this village and become my nourishment are destined to die here; I am just helping them fulfill their fate. Even you are destined to become my vessel!"
Li Ye spat out a mouthful of bloodied saliva and snorted coldly, "If you want to take over my body, you'll have to see if you're capable enough!" As he spoke, Li Ye's power suddenly surged, a vast wave of Spiritual Energy swirling around him. He grinned and said, "I didn't want to use the power of Void Night; I thought I could defeat you with my Peak Foundation Establishment strength alone. But it seems there's nothing wrong with using it occasionally!"
Li Ye chanted an incantation: "Spirit of the Underworld, descend and bring forth calamity!" Liu Fei and Specter instantly became excited; their eyes turned crimson, gleaming with greedy light as hungry smiles appeared on their beautiful faces, drool dripping from the corners of their mouths.
Li Ye shook a bell, its clear sound resembling a command to start battle as the two women charged madly towards the old man.
Xuan Yin Elder let out a cold laugh and waved his cane. Shadows surged from the ground, transforming into Wraiths to confront Liu Fei and Specter. Li Ye charged towards Xuan Yin Elder, their long sword clashing violently with the cane in mid-air as Spiritual Energy erupted, creating shockwaves.
Liu Fei and Specter lunged at the Wraiths with ferocity; Liu Fei's fingers clawed like talons as she viciously grabbed at one Wraith's head. The Wraith let out a piercing scream as its head was torn apart, but more Wraiths pounced at them from all directions. One Wraith's claws ripped Liu Fei's clothing apart, creating a large gash on her abdomen, yet she paid no mind and continued to tear into the Wraiths.
Specter wielded a short sword in one hand while her other hand was severed by a Wraith's attack. Unfazed, she continued to slash madly at the Wraiths. Her sword energy raged like a storm, pushing back each Wraith one by one. The two zombies were surrounded by Wraiths like two immortal beasts, tearing into their foes with abandon.
Xuan Yin Elder unleashed a series of sinister spells; black light flickered in the air, transforming into deadly attacks. Li Ye nimbly dodged them as his long sword slashed towards Xuan Yin Elder like thunder. The battle between them resembled a tempest; sword light intertwined with spells as waves of Spiritual Energy rippled around them.
"Your moves are nothing special!" Xuan Yin Elder scoffed as he swung his cane violently, sending a beam of black light straight towards Li Ye's face.
Li Ye sneered and swiftly dodged this attack; he countered with a backhand swing of his long sword that pierced directly at Xuan Yin Elder's chest. The old man staggered slightly but barely avoided it; however, the sword energy still left a deep wound across his chest, blood gushing out.
"My army of Wraiths is not something these two lowly zombies can contend with!" Xuan Yin Elder roared angrily as he rapidly changed his hand gestures for spells; more Wraiths surged from the ground towards Liu Fei and Specter.
Liu Fei and Specter were already drenched in blood but continued to fight tenaciously. The hole in Liu Fei's abdomen grew larger, yet her attacks became even fiercer; her hands moved like blades, shredding every approaching Wraith apart. Although Specter had lost one hand, her swordsmanship remained sharp; every strike carried destructive force that sliced through the Wraiths into pieces.
The battle between Li Ye and Xuan Yin Elder intensified, with the fluctuations of Spiritual Energy resembling a raging storm. Every strike from Li Ye carried destructive power, while each spell from Xuan Yin Elder was vicious and cunning. The two exchanged blows, and the fight grew fiercer.
"Your power is indeed formidable, but I have not lost yet!" Xuan Yin Elder roared, thrusting his staff into the ground. Black Spiritual Energy transformed into a massive shadow that lunged toward Li Ye.
Li Ye let out a cold laugh, his figure vanishing like a ghost and reappearing behind Xuan Yin Elder. His sword struck out like lightning, aiming directly for Xuan Yin Elder's back. Caught off guard, Xuan Yin Elder was pierced by the sword and let out a cry of agony.
"You... it's impossible..." Xuan Yin Elder's eyes widened in disbelief at what was happening before him.
"In front of me, anything is possible," Li Ye said coldly as he twisted the sword violently, tearing apart Xuan Yin Elder's soul.
Xuan Yin Elder's body turned to ash in the explosion of Spiritual Energy, while Li Ye stood there, devouring Xuan Yin Elder's soul.
Liu Fei and Specter finally repelled the last Wraith. They were drenched in blood but still filled with fighting spirit. Li Ye looked at his two corpses and nodded in satisfaction.
"Li Ye, are you alright?" Zhiruo stepped forward, her face filled with concern.
"What could possibly happen to me? Don't worry," Li Ye replied with a forced smile, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"The battle just now was too dangerous; thankfully, you are safe," Yan Yuchen said, patting Li Ye on the shoulder.
"I must be safe; I don't want you two to become widows," Li Ye laughed as he looked at Zhiruo and Yan Yuchen. The two women shyly lowered their heads.
