Xiao Yefeng was slightly startled by this sight. Over the years, he had fought multiple times against the people from Perfect World in Yokai Tower, encountering all sorts of strange techniques and skills. However, witnessing a living person using their Spirit to forge a Weapon was something he had never seen before.
Amidst his surprise, Xiao Yefeng did not expect the Black Witch wielding the Divine Blade to move so quickly. At that moment, they were engaged in battle within the Soul Space, a feat only achievable after reaching a certain level of Spirit cultivation. It was essentially a common tactic used by Sorcerers for long-distance combat.
In the past, Xiao Yefeng had been unable to do this due to insufficient Spirit power. Now that he had fully mastered Primordial Qi, he naturally aimed to seize the advantage by striking first. This was the essence of Spirit combat—gaining the upper hand by drawing the opponent into one’s own Soul Space.
However, Xiao Yefeng was astonished by the Black Witch's use of Spirit as a Blade. The advantage of striking first shifted to her as she swiftly swung her light pink curved blade, sending dozens of pink blade energies shooting toward him in a straight line.
“Puff! Clang clang clang!”
Except for the first blade energy that pierced into the water waves, the remaining energies were swallowed by the surging water. At this moment, Xiao Yefeng wasted no time; there was no need for excessive dialogue in Sorcerer battles because everything one desired could be found on the opponent's corpse!
“Water Armament—Water Armament!” Standing beneath the Xuanwu, the water surged like a stampede of horses. The Water Armament was the best countermeasure at this moment. Azure ice crystals transformed into an almost transparent armor around him. Due to Water Armament's absorption of water-based Qi, the waves surrounding Xiao Yefeng vanished, and behind him, the Xuanwu Phantom also disappeared without a trace after glancing at him.
At this time within the Liu Family, as Xiao Yefeng's Phenomenon faded away, Liu Yiyi and Ilyana exchanged glances. They both understood that they could not assist Xiao Yefeng at this moment and could only gather their strength to prepare for binding Mei Family Father and Son.
Clang! The blades collided as Xiao Yefeng's Yin-Yang Sword was unexpectedly forced back by the Black Witch's Divine Blade. Taking a step back, Xiao Yefeng realized that it wasn't due to his own lack of strength but rather because of their Weapons. His cultivation surpassed that of the Black Witch, and her fluctuating aura indicated her power was unstable—clearly artificially enhanced. Yet he was being pushed back because that pink blade seemed to possess some inexplicable force.
At this moment, having successfully landed a strike, the Black Witch took advantage of the Divine Blade's unique ability and showed no mercy. A flash of black light appeared as an afterimage formed behind Xiao Yefeng; she swung down with her Divine Blade aimed directly at his head in a silent motion.
However, she underestimated the capabilities of Xiao Yefeng's Water Armament. As the Bagua Mirror shone brightly, the Divine Blade sliced into his ice crystal armor effortlessly. Just when she thought she could easily end him with one decisive blow, she felt her Blade become heavy as if it had plunged into a swamp. Realizing something was wrong, she instinctively attempted to withdraw her weapon.
Sensing that the Black Witch intended to escape, Xiao Yefeng smiled slightly; he had feigned vulnerability just to counter that peculiar Blade. If she managed to flee now, he would never forgive himself!
The helmet from Water Armament was cleaved in two by the Divine Blade; however, in that instant, it transformed into a large lock that clamped down on the Divine Blade. Simultaneously, his Yin-Yang Sword darted forward like a dragon aiming directly at the Black Witch’s exposed heart.
With a sharp thrust, the blade pierced through the right breast of the Black Witch. However, in that very moment, a cloud of powder erupted from the Divine Blade, shattering the icy restraints. The blade swept horizontally towards Xiao Yefeng's neck, but how could Xiao Yefeng gamble with his life? He kicked hard into the Black Witch's abdomen, using the technique of Intercepting Finger at the tip of his foot, disrupting her Qi flow and sending her flying.
Looking at the wound on her right breast, the Black Witch's expression hardened. Although a Spirit's battle wouldn't harm the physical body due to damage to the Spirit, a weakened Spirit would eventually lead to injury. Just moments ago, if she hadn't forced herself to shift and replace her left breast with her right, the damage to her Spirit's core would have been far more severe than merely a drop in energy.
Having failed to land a hit and instead injuring herself due to Xiao Yefeng's counterattack, the Black Witch realized she could no longer continue dancing around him. A swift resolution was her only option. With a horizontal sweep of the Divine Blade, a wave of pink energy surged forth like a tornado aimed directly at Xiao Yefeng.
At that moment, as the Black Witch wielded the Divine Blade, a soft melody echoed—a sound reminiscent of tinkling water or gentle birdsong—instantly clouding Xiao Yefeng's mind. In just a fleeting second, the tide of battle began to tilt in favor of the Black Witch. She stepped onto the whirlwind, and her blade surged like waves crashing down upon Xiao Yefeng. Caught off guard, he could only raise his sword in defense.
The effect of Water Armament manifested, slowing down the Black Witch's attack speed. Though not by much, it granted Xiao Yefeng a brief moment to retaliate. The flickering Spirit of the Black Witch indicated she was nearing her limit. After blocking dozens of strikes, Xiao Yefeng successfully utilized Water Armament to freeze the Divine Blade for an instant.
In that moment, as his sword swept through, the Yin-Yang Sword unleashed its purest Carefree Righteousness, scattering the Black Witch's Spirit. This strike directly shattered her Spirit. In an instant, a stream of light accompanied by her furious roar attempted to escape from Soul Space. However, Xiao Yefeng would not allow the Black Witch to flee again; after all, Mei Family Father and Son's lives were in her hands. If she escaped, they would surely perish!
With a creak, the wooden door swung open. The last remnants of the Black Witch's fleeing Spirit were locked in by light; her figure that was about to vanish was forcibly held back. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng flipped his hand and threw out a Talisman.
Upon seeing the Talisman, the Black Witch let out a heart-wrenching scream: "Even as a ghost I won't let you go! I curse you—curse you to never achieve Reincarnation!"
The Yin-Yang Sword was sheathed behind him as Xiao Yefeng replied, "Whether I achieve Reincarnation or not is unclear; however, you will never enter Reincarnation again!" With a flick of his finger, the Talisman transformed into a ball of ghostly fire which he absorbed into his palm as he delved into the Black Witch's memories.
As her memories were forcefully extracted, pain coursed through her Spirit. The Black Witch found herself unable to resist; she even felt that being struck down moments ago was a beautiful thing. Just as Xiao Yefeng accessed her memory of being gravely injured by a counter-curse previously, he saw a man appear. Although this figure remained shrouded in darkness, Xiao Yefeng recognized him instantly as Master from Perfect World.
Amidst flickering light, another figure bathed in radiance emerged behind Master. It was hard to imagine that within this memory scene—the Master hiding in darkness—there existed such pure light behind him; this figure radiated warmth.
"Are you willing to become my follower and enjoy power, life, and glory?" Master spoke without hesitation; however, from within that radiant figure came a gentle voice.
Since Xiao Yefeng’s memories were drawn from the Black Witch’s perspective, he saw that girl who had transformed into a blade supporting her. The Black Witch was bleeding from all seven orifices and looked at the man with desperation: "Who are you?"
"Call me the God of Sorcery, woman! You have less than a minute to live; make your choice!" The voice was magnetic and penetrating, easily captivating those who heard it. This was the feeling Xiao Yefeng experienced at that moment.
"Alright! I agree to become your follower!" The Black Witch, possessing a certain cunning nature, readily accepted after weighing the pros and cons without hesitation.
The next memory was of the Black Witch fainting, and when she awoke, she found herself with nearly perfect cultivation. The spirit she had raised herself had been transformed into her weapon by that man, known as the Divine Blade!
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yefeng was about to examine it closely when suddenly a beam of light from the void sliced through the Soul Space, simultaneously shattering Xiao Yefeng's talisman and annihilating the Black Witch's spirit. The light pushed Xiao Yefeng back, and if it weren't for the Yin-Yang Sword forcibly protecting him by shattering the light with its dragon soul, he would have been injured.
"Who is it?" Xiao Yefeng's spirit withdrew from the Black Witch's memory. At that moment, the Black Witch's soul was shattered by the light, truly lost forever. He turned to look at Mei Family Father and Son; indeed, the shattered spirit of the Black Witch was dead, and her hold over them had vanished. After exchanging a surprised glance with Xiao Yefeng, they realized their spirits lacked the strength to remain in this Soul Space, causing them to disappear from this place.
At that moment, the Divine Blade, which had been suppressed by the Bagua Mirror, suddenly erupted in a burst of white light. Under its brilliance, ice shattered, and countless cracks appeared on the broken blade. Just then, a voice echoed: "Guardian, you are impressive. This is our first meeting; you have won. However, soon you will know that like all previous Guardians, you will ultimately lose to me. Prepare yourself; I eagerly await the last batch of slaves from Blue Star! Resist all you want! All I need are powerful slaves!"
As the voice faded away, the pink Divine Blade shattered like foam in this space where Xiao Yefeng and the Black Witch's spirits coalesced before disappearing. Watching this scene unfold, Xiao Yefeng declared: "I know who you are; you are the master of sorcery, right? Earth is Earth; it is not something you can toy with like Blue Star. Just wait; this generation of Earth will never become your ants!"
Xiao Yefeng's voice resonated like thunder in that space. However, due to excessive spirit consumption, he could only withdraw his spirit's power supporting this space. Afterward, his spirit returned to his body. After a moment of adjustment, Xiao Yefeng opened his eyes.
Before him stood Mei Family Father and Son along with Liu Yiyi and Ilyana. At that moment, Mei Yulou's face appeared relatively healthy; after all, as an Inner Force martial artist, his constitution was robust. However, his eyes were lifeless—clearly affected greatly by his soul being bound. In contrast, Uncle Mei Baizhu fared much worse; being an ordinary person, he had been tormented by the Black Witch's puppet technique and now seemed weak as if recovering from a serious illness.
After some simple pleasantries, both Mei Family Father and Son looked at Xiao Yefeng with deep gratitude. They understood what had transpired in Soul Space and felt their appreciation for him could not be expressed in words.
