Chapter 168: Seizing the soul and spirit, waiting for the lord to go!

~7 min read 1,275 words

This scene left Yan Fei horrified.

Before she could figure out how the Six-Fingered Black Knight had done it, countless black sword qi flew toward her.

These black sword qi, when sensed individually, did not carry the slightest killing intent, but when they truly landed on her body, Yan Fei still felt that her meridians had suffered varying degrees of damage. Although this injury could be recovered from after a few days of rest, at the moment, it truly hindered the circulation of her internal energy.

The Yin-Yang School, like the Daoist School, was adept at performing techniques.

And to perform techniques, there was a prerequisite: using one's own internal energy to trigger the power of heaven and earth. In other words, dealing with such people was actually very simple: one only needed to interrupt the opponent's internal energy circulation, making them unable to trigger the power of heaven and earth.

Without the help of the power of heaven and earth, even if the person performing the technique had decent strength, the power they could exert would still be discounted.

This was also why those who played with techniques feared being approached.

From the start of the fight until now, Yan Fei had always maintained a distance from the Six-Fingered Black Knight, but she had ultimately underestimated the Six-Fingered Black Knight's strength. Perhaps the individual strength of the Mohist School was average, but this absolutely did not include the Six-Fingered Black Knight.

Since inheriting the position of Mohist Sect Master, the Six-Fingered Black Knight had roamed the world for decades.

That he could have such a great reputation was clearly not obtained through boasting.

Although he died very miserably in the original work, there was a reason for that; no one would have expected that the wife of Yan Dan, whom he trusted, would suddenly take action against him, planting the Six Soul Fear Curse on him.

Even after being hit by the Six Soul Fear Curse, the Six-Fingered Black Knight did not fall immediately. Later, he suffered an assassination attempt by Wei Zhuang and still managed to escape calmly, holding on all the way until he returned to the Mechanical City, finally dying alone in the Mohist Forbidden Land.

Compared to Yan Dan, who also died because of the Six Soul Fear Curse, the Six-Fingered Black Knight held on for a very long time.

"If you were given a few more years, I might truly not be your match, but now, I have won~々!"

The Six-Fingered Black Knight held Mo Mei, looking at Yan Fei, who had been injured by his ink-like sword qi, and said indifferently.

His black robe fluttered violently in the night wind, fully displaying the demeanor of an expert.

But the reality was that he was not as relaxed as he appeared.

If he hadn't had a few trump cards, he would have truly almost capsized here at Yan Fei's hands.

So his words were not wrong; if Yan Fei were given a few more years to grow, she might truly be able to defeat him.

"Yin-Yang School Eastern Lord, leave. I do not wish to kill you. Likewise, the Mechanical City does not welcome people from the Yin-Yang School. Don't even think about knowing the location of the Mechanical City."

Yan Fei's expression was cold, as if she hadn't heard the Six-Fingered Black Knight's words.

Just then, another voice sounded, falling into the Six-Fingered Black Knight's ears, responding to his words.

"What if I must know the location of the Mechanical City?"

Hearing this voice, the Six-Fingered Black Knight and Yan Dan looked simultaneously toward where the voice came from.

A gust of wind blew past, and finally, it condensed into an illusory figure.

Upon seeing this figure, Yan Fei's cold expression changed instantly, and she bowed respectfully, "Lord Master Xuantian!"

Su Xuan's figure was illusory, like a projection. He did not look at Yan Fei, only saying indifferently, "After returning, accept your punishment!"

"Yes!"

Yan Fei replied.

As for whether Su Xuan would truly punish her after she returned, no one knew. It was just said in front of outsiders to make it appear that the Yin-Yang School was clear about rewards and punishments.

After saying this to Yan Fei, Su Xuan looked at the Six-Fingered Black Knight.

"Although I have long known that the relationship between the Yan Crown Prince and the Mohist School was unclear, it is still surprising that the Mohist Sect Master personally escorted him into Qin as a hostage. The Mohist School truly values the Yan Crown Prince!"

Su Xuan's words had a deeper meaning.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight's gaze tightened, also falling on Su Xuan's face. "I also did not expect that the Yin-Yang School's new Sect Master would be so… young!"

During the day, although he had learned some things about the Yin-Yang School's new Sect Master from Nian Duan, he still couldn't help but marvel after seeing Su Xuan in person.

If Su Xuan were an old man, it would not be strange for him to defeat Donghuang Taiyi.

But precisely because he was young, his ability to defeat an expert like Donghuang Taiyi made him seem all the more incredible, all the more… powerful.

Su Xuan was already so powerful now; if he were given a few more decades to grow, what level could he reach?

No wonder the other party called himself "Dao Lord"; he truly had the capital for such arrogance.

Youth was the greatest capital.

"` 」Since the Mohist Sect Master has come to the Qin State, my Yin-Yang School can be considered half a host. I wonder if the Sect Master is interested in visiting my Yin-Yang School?"

"Although the Sect Master does not welcome people from my Yin-Yang School to visit the Mechanical City, my Yin-Yang School still regards the Sect Master as an honored guest and welcomes your visit!"

Su Xuan did not speak like a Sect Master at all, nor did he have any high-and-mighty airs.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight said in a deep voice, "Although Lord Master Xuantian invites me warmly, allow me to refuse. Our two schools follow different paths and do not conspire together. I also do not wish to have any entanglements with you!"

"That is not up to the Sect Master!"

Su Xuan said indifferently. The next moment, he reached out his palm.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight gripped Mo Mei in his hand, preparing to deal with Su Xuan's next attack.

But unexpectedly, Su Xuan did not perform any technique, nor did he launch an attack on him.

No, a technique was actually performed, but the target was not him.

It was… Yan (Nuoma) Dan!

Yan Dan's body trembled, and then, a wisp of gray mist flew out from his body, falling into Su Xuan's hand.

After that, Yan Dan's body collapsed, and he fainted right there.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight was shocked and hurriedly went to Yan Dan's side, supporting him, his voice somewhat urgent, "Nephew Prince!"

"Stop calling. I have seized one of his souls. At the moment, his soul is incomplete, and he is already equivalent to a living dead person."

Su Xuan said indifferently. Regardless of whether the Six-Fingered Black Knight believed the truth of his words, he had indeed spoken the truth.

"If you want him to be safe, come to the Yin-Yang School in three days. I will be waiting for you there!"

He added another sentence.

Then, under the Six-Fingered Black Knight's gaze, his body slowly dissipated, carrying away that soul of Yan Dan, not knowing where he went.

He had not come here in his true body at all.
