As the aftermath of the previous battle quickly dissipated, it was estimated that within five breaths, these two-winged "Dark Spirit Bats" would surround Li Yan.
Of course, if Li Yan wanted to leave, they wouldn’t even be able to find his shadow.
But now there is a possibility of completely leaving this strange corridor, Li Yan naturally wants to see what the other party has to say.
"I... I am very weak and need the strength of my physical body. I am now... returning to my original form. Fellow Daoist, please don't... don't stab me with that magic weapon again, otherwise, I will die immediately!"
Although Li Yan couldn't see the other person, he still stared at the void with cold eyes.
"You'd better not play tricks. If you hope for the best, you'll die!"
Afterwards, he slowly retracted the Gui Yi Water-Dividing Spear that was inserted into the void.
In the spiritual consciousness, the gray-white and almost transparent thing breathed a sigh of relief when it saw the other party take back the terrifying magic weapon.
Then, in Li Yan's consciousness, he returned to the four-winged "Dark Spirit Bat" nailed in the void at a speed that Li Yan could control, and merged into it the next moment.
Then, Li Yan saw a scene that surprised him. The four-winged "Dark Spirit Bat" that had lost all its life actually slowly opened its eyes again.
However, the deep green light in the eyes had long since turned into light green, giving people a feeling of death.
"Can you revive again?"
Li Yan thought in his heart.
The moment the four-winged "Dark Spirit Bat" opened its eyes, it first focused its gaze towards the center of its eyebrows.
Seeing that the magic weapon was still inserted between his eyebrows, but the other party was not activating his magic power, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva dryly.
Then, a low hissing sound came out weakly.
In Li Yan's consciousness, the entire formation of the two-winged "Dark Spirit Bats" that were rushing towards him frantically was in chaos, and then they really stopped attacking.
There was a look of confusion on their faces, and then they looked at the four-winged "Dark Spirit Bat" that had been "resurrected" in the center.
Li Yan didn't care about them. He still didn't pull out the Gui Yi Water-Dividing Thorn, but stared at the other party.
"Have you practiced some kind of technique to strengthen your soul?"
He asked directly and got to the point, this was what he was most concerned about.
Li Yan didn't know if there was any problem with the "Fu Bo Killing Soul" he was practicing. He had always been practicing on his own without any guidance.
Li Yan was a very suspicious person, including himself. He already had some doubts as to whether there was something wrong with his cultivation.
“This… This can be considered a soul technique, it’s an advanced secret technique of the ‘Dark Spirit Demon Bat’ clan, called ‘Spiritual Dark Soul’.
Only when you reach the late third stage can you barely practice, that is, you can cultivate a layer of outer shell for your spirit soul, so that... so that your soul has an extra layer of defense... defense!"
He was really weak, and he gasped for breath several times while speaking.
"'Spiritual Soul Dark Soul'? You cultivated a layer of protection for your soul. You just used this method to escape a disaster. Can you return your scattered soul to its original position on your own?"
Li Yan's eyes kept flashing. The world is so big that there are really all kinds of strange things.
“Fellow Daoist… Fellow Daoist, this is actually the true means of survival for my ‘Dark Spirit Demon Bat’ clan. As long as a trace of soul remains, one can abandon one’s own body and return to its original state.
When you abandon it, you can use it as a way to fake your death and escape. After your opponent leaves, your soul can return to its original position.
It’s just that this time cannot be too long, half an hour at most, and the physical body is not completely destroyed, but at least it is thousands... thousands of times better than possessing another body, isn’t it... right
This is also the origin of my… my clan’s name, but… but not many outsiders know about it!!”
Having said that, he looked at Li Yan helplessly. Their method of escape was particularly covert. Firstly, the techniques of attacking souls were not common.
Therefore, after ordinary people beat them until they have lost all their breath and then take their magic cores, they will of course think that they are dead, and the probability of damaging their physical bodies is only 50-50.
The most likely possibility is that the physical body is taken away by the other party, which is a good material for refining weapons, and they can quietly put the soul back into the physical body, and then they can even play a role in counterattack.
The second is that it takes a short process for the soul to dissipate. Even if someone has a particularly strong spiritual awareness and finds a soul floating in the air, he will just think it is a normal death phenomenon.
Unlike Li Yan, whose soul didn't even have time to leave his body and dissipate under the Gui Yi Fen Shui Spear. His soul was directly nailed to pieces and did not dissipate outside his body at all.
Therefore, his soul could still float away, which made Li Yan realize that something was wrong.
Of course, this is not an absolute certainty. If the opponent's cultivation is particularly strong, then Gui Yi Fen Shui Thorn may not be able to completely dissipate the opponent's soul in one strike.
However, it was a pity that he and Li Yan were cultivators of the same level, and he met the particularly suspicious Li Yan.
As soon as Li Yangang felt something was wrong, he immediately wanted to kill them all, which made his last chance of escape disappear into thin air.
It can be said that he met his nemesis when he met Li Yan. If it were another cultivator, he might have already escaped.
Li Yan's eyes began to flicker for a moment. The four-winged "Dark Spirit Bat" seemed to understand Li Yan's thoughts, and he sighed lightly.
“Fellow Daoist, even if you searched your soul and found this technique now, you still cannot practice it. This technique can only be practiced by our clan.
Our souls are different from those of other races. We are born with four souls and nine spirits, one more soul and two spirits than other races.
When practicing this method, it is to separate the soul and spirit into a 'shell', so that we have an extra layer of defense.
The last soul will be sacrificed and refined in the sea of consciousness, as a mark to guide the last soul back to its place after leaving the body.
Otherwise, if the soul drifts too far away or the body is taken away by someone, it may never return.
Moreover, although this technique is secret, there are still people who know it. If everyone could practice it, my race... my race would have been extinct long ago!"
The four-winged "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" was nailed in the air without daring to move, and he said with a heavy breath. Of course, he knew what Li Yan was thinking. Although this method was extremely concealed, some senior monks of some races still knew it.
Just as he said, if this technique could really be practiced by others, their clan would have ceased to exist long ago, as everyone would want to capture them and force them to reveal their skills.
Sure enough, after listening to what the other party said, although Li Yan did not say anything, his mind was racing. He felt that half of what the other party said was credible.
This skill doesn't just give you an extra life, it's equivalent to giving you two extra lives.
First, after being hit by someone's soul, you can defend yourself once.
Another time is that each cultivator can only possess another body once in his life, but if the soul can return to the body again, then the opportunity to possess another body is retained, which is equivalent to an extra backup opportunity.
However, Li Yan continued to ask.
"Who else among you has practiced this set of skills? Do those two-winged 'Dark Spirit Demon Bats' know about the inheritance of this set of skills?"
“I am the strongest here. Now there are only five people in the four wings, and the second and third brothers are able to practice this technique. They are barely strong enough to practice it.
As for… As for this set of skills inheritance, only the third-level monsters are allowed to know it, but the other guys here… No one knows it!"
This four-winged "Dark Spirit Bat" was very smart. He knew that the other party was trying to confirm whether his words were true or false.
"Then do you want to force all of us into this tunnel, where there is a terrifying existence that can make a Jindan cultivator lose consciousness instantly?"
Li Yan's questions started to become faster, and he immediately changed the topic without giving the other party time to think.
"Yes, but not completely. I can say for sure that you were forced into three corridors, and the corridor we were in just now was just one of them.
However, the results after entering these three corridors are the same. There is a force that even Nascent Soul cultivators cannot contend with. That is… "
Hearing this, Li Yan was already extremely shocked, but because of this, he immediately raised his hand to signal the other party not to say anything more.
He still had many questions in his mind, including whether to judge whether the other party's skills could be practiced by his race.
But there was no time at this moment. The four-winged "Dark Spirit Bat" he was facing was the strongest here, so the blue skylark was forced into the final corridor first.
"There are two more passages like this with terrifying power?"
Li Yan confirmed again.
"Yes!"
The four-winged "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" saw the murderous intent in the other party's eyes, and he quickly replied. He already knew what the other party was thinking.
"Do your fellow apprentices obey your orders?"
"Listen, I can take you to the other two final passages right now to stop them from continuing to surround and kill us!!"
"Okay, let's go check it out now!"
Li Yan was anxious. If Xingming and the others were forced into the so-called final corridor, they would be in real danger. Xingming's strength was not much stronger than that of the Green Bird.
He had no time to ask what the terrifying power in the last three corridors was. Saving people was the most important thing.
Xing Ming was anxious. Before, he could sense Feng Mo Ru in a nearby corridor. They were all being surrounded and killed by a four-winged "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" and a group of two-winged "Dark Spirit Demon Bats".
And now, both sides have lost contact with each other.
Facing such a group of ferocious beasts, what gave him the most headache was the encirclement attack formed by the other side. There was a kind of translucent black thorny ball which was actually a kind of sonic attack.
Under the auxiliary attack of the four-winged "Dark Spirit Bat", although he kept retreating, many scars appeared on his body.
As the blood oozed out, the surrounding monsters became even more crazy and attacked more fiercely.
While retreating, he tried to find the nearest Feng Mo Ru again, but facing such a relentless siege, his goal of joining up with Feng Mo Ru was simply impossible.
What made him even more anxious was that Zhang Ming disappeared first, and then Xuan Caijun went further and further away.
"Although Junior Brother is indeed quite strong, he is still young after all. Don't be careless and fall into the trap of the other party..."
The Star Moth also sensed that something was wrong, because the four-winged "Dark Spirit Bat" was attacking at a steady pace.
Xingming has fought with the opponent more than ten times. He knows clearly that even if the opponent fights him one-on-one, he will not necessarily lose to him.
What's more, there are more than a hundred "Dark Spirit Bats" on both wings that can form a strange joint attack formation.
If they had swarmed on him, he would have found it hard to hold on until now.
At this time, a corridor appeared in front of the Star Moth. The Star Moth had no choice but to retreat towards that direction. In the blink of an eye, he had already approached the entrance of the corridor.
But just as he was about to dive in, he suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart, and his flying figure paused.
His spiritual awareness spread out in all directions as usual, and after a quick glance, Star Moth immediately discovered something wrong.
Because the two-winged "Dark Spirit Bats" chasing behind suddenly slowed down.
But the four-winged "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" suddenly accelerated and flew towards him rapidly.
"Um?"
Xing Ming's mind suddenly moved, and his body immediately stopped in front of the tunnel entrance. The opponent's sudden change in attack method made him even more uneasy!!!
