Chapter 313: The Soul-Transfer Technique

"Speak, who exactly are you people?" Lu Yu stood not far away, aiming his arrow at the person in the lead.

The black Qi on those two people just now made him feel very uncomfortable.

The three of them looked at each other.

"Kill him," Gong Wu ordered again.

The two people beside him nodded, and one of them stomped his foot hard, his whole body shooting toward Lu Yu like a cannonball.

Not only that, but a layer of thick black Qi appeared on the surface of his body at some unknown moment.

Meanwhile, the other person stared intently at Lu Yu, muttering to himself, seemingly chanting some kind of spell.

Lu Yu, not far away, immediately felt as if his body were being pressed down by a great mountain, so heavy that he could not move.

Just at this moment, that black-robed person had already rushed in front of him, a Dagger appearing in his hand at some unknown moment, the blade wreathed in thick black Qi. His eyes were full of excitement, and he shouted:

"Go to hell!"

The corners of Lu Yu's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a cold sneer, and he tilted his body slightly, easily dodging this seemingly sure-fire strike from his opponent.

At the same time, the black-robed person chanting the spell not far away suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, his aura instantly becoming listless, and he looked into the distance with a face full of shock.

At the same time, the black-robed person chanting the spell not far away suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, the blood splattering in the air.

His entire aura instantly became listless, and he looked at Lu Yu in the distance with a face full of shock.

How could this be!

His binding technique, even against the top-tier C-Class Awakened, would at least control them for one or two seconds.

In the past, they had relied on this move to secretly kill many people who came to pursue them.

Unexpectedly, he hadn't even been able to bind this masked guy in front of him for half a second; how could he not be shocked?

"Bang!"

A loud noise rang out.

The black-robed person holding the knife was kicked flying fiercely by Lu Yu, and as his body flew into mid-air, it directly Exploded.

Lu Yu looked coldly at the two remaining people and said, "You give me a very strange feeling; you are neither like Awakened nor like Martial Artists. Speak, who exactly are you? And what is that Black Ball in your hand?"

Gong Wu and the person beside him looked at each other, a trace of fear flashing deep in their eyes; no matter how stupid they were, they understood that this time they had truly kicked an iron plate.

They knew that the masked person in front of them was definitely not someone they could easily deal with.

In just a few short seconds, more than half of his companions had died, and of the two remaining, one had lost his combat capability.

"Brother Gong, hurry and go, don't worry about me," the black-robed person who had spat blood said in a low voice.

"But..." A trace of hesitation appeared on Gong Wu's face.

"Go quickly!" the injured man urged anxiously. "If you die here too, all our previous efforts will have been in vain!"

"Alright!" Gong Wu gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at Lu Yu, as if to deeply imprint the other's appearance in his mind.

The next second, his figure flashed and he disappeared directly, leaving only curling black smoke in his place.

"Hahaha!" Seeing this, the injured man let out a hearty laugh.

What was death, anyway? From the moment he joined the Black Demon Cult, he had already prepared himself for this.

He had long yearned to return to the embrace of the Black Demon Lord.

Moreover, they would not sacrifice themselves in vain; as long as Brother Gong brought the news back, the higher-ups in the cult would naturally settle the score with this guy!

When that time came, this person would know what it meant to be unable to live and unable to die!

"Want to run? Do you think you can get away?" Lu Yu's thoughts shifted, and he directly opened his Heaven-Human Induction to its maximum radius—a 20-kilometer perception range.

In an instant, the Mental Power in his mind was being consumed crazily at a rate of nearly nine thousand points per second.

At this very moment, he sensed dozens of auras!

Most of these auras he was very familiar with; there were those of Advanced Fierce Beasts, and also one or two Elite-level Fierce Beasts.

Besides these, there were some unfamiliar auras, which should be Fierce Beasts he had never encountered until now.

And seven or eight kilometers away to his southeast, there was an aura fleeing rapidly into the distance.

"Found you."

The corners of Lu Yu's mouth lifted slightly, and his figure, like a black bolt of lightning, sped off toward the southeast.

"Fool." Seeing this scene, the injured man showed a trace of smugness on his face.

He felt that Lu Yu wanting to catch up to Brother Gong was simply a pipe dream! On the contrary, he himself might even be able to take this opportunity to escape.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly took a pitch-black Pill from his pocket, swallowed it in one gulp, and then ran with all his might in the opposite direction.

"What is that guy's background!"

After performing the taboo-like Forbidden Transfer Spell, Gong Wu felt as if his life force had been drained away; his face was as pale as paper, devoid of any color.

At this moment, Gong Wu was more concerned with his curiosity and wariness regarding Lu Yu's identity than his own weakened state.

Recalling the brief conversation with Lu Yu earlier, judging from the other's words and reactions, it was clear he did not know the details of the mysterious and evil organization behind them.

But for their kind of shady business, the most taboo thing was for their whereabouts to be leaked, so to eliminate future trouble, killing to silence witnesses had become their instinctive choice.

It was just that their beautiful plan was fragile in the face of cruel reality.

Not only did they fail to silence the witness, but they also ended up losing their companions' lives.

If this matter were known by others in the cult, he would certainly become a laughingstock.

"Fine, you masked man, I've remembered you!" Gong Wu cursed through gritted teeth. "When I go back this time, next time I come, I will definitely take your dog life!"

"No need to wait for next time; you won't be leaving this time." A voice rang out abruptly in front of him.

It was the very masked man he had spoken of, who had somehow blocked his path.

"You?" Gong Wu stopped abruptly, the expression on his face as if he had seen a ghost.

How could this be?

The displacement technique he just used could instantly teleport him seven or eight kilometers away, even more powerful than the Teleportation Item of those C-Class Awakened.

But this secret technique comes at the cost of burning essence blood; if not for a last resort, he would never dare to use it lightly.

But how could this guy still catch up? And how did he know the direction he was fleeing in?

"You... who exactly are you? How did you find me?" Gong Wu asked with difficulty.

"I should be the one asking, who are you people?" Lu Yu countered.

"Hmph, wanting to know my identity, keep dreaming!" Gong Wu sneered; despite the fear in his heart, he still feigned composure, staring fixedly at Lu Yu.

Although he had no idea how Lu Yu managed to catch up, he thought to himself that as long as he continued to use the displacement technique, he didn't believe this guy could keep following him like a shadow.

"Soul Capture." A flash of light flickered in Lu Yu's eyes.

Gong Wu felt the world spinning, and immediately after, his entire person lost consciousness, standing blankly on the spot.

"Whew..." Lu Yu exhaled softly.

Just in the brief interval while conversing with Gong Wu, he made a prompt decision and spent over ten thousand points of precious Experience Value to raise the 【Soul Shifting Great Method】 to the Consummation Realm.

This 【Soul Shifting Great Method】 is extremely profound, and one of its core characteristics is Soul Capture; by simply making eye contact with an opponent, one can rely on powerful Mental Power to directly invade and control the opponent's mind.

The greater the disparity in Mental Power between the two parties, the longer the control lasts.

Judging from the situation where Gong Wu was instantly controlled before his eyes, the effect was very significant.

Lu Yu walked forward and discovered that the Black Ball Gong Wu had been holding in his hand earlier was gone.
