Chapter 0483: Soul Devouring

Qin Yun and Yang Shiyue stood back-to-back, each holding a weapon.

The three black-armored men surrounding them wore sinister smiles, but they did not attack, as if they were here to negotiate.

"Qin Yun, you must be surprised, aren't you? We've actually been here for a while, just not as conspicuous as those fools!" one of the black-clad men said.

"With your strength, defeating us won't be so easy. Moreover, we have at least twenty Ninth Layer Martial Path Experts waiting outside!" he added.

Qin Yun coldly replied, "If you have something to say, just say it!"

"This Martial Path Ancient City has a formation core. Once inside, no one can leave. I assume you control it, don't you? The other Nine Sun Sects are unaware, but we are well informed. Back then, our three Nine Sun Sects also helped build this city!" the big man said.

Yang Shiyue asked, "There are supposed to be nine Nine Sun Sects. Five came earlier, and now you three are here. Where is the ninth one?"

"That Nine Sun Sect no longer exists. Their base in the Divine Wasteland has been destroyed! So rest assured, no other Nine Sun Sects will appear!" the middle-aged man replied.

Both Qin Yun and Yang Shiyue were secretly shocked.

"Let's cut to the chase! If you want to live, cooperate with us, join our Nine Sun Sect, and help us take control of this Martial Path Ancient City!" the black-armored man chuckled. "As for the rewards, you won't be disappointed!"

Yang Shiyue quickly sent a mental message to Qin Yun, urging him not to agree no matter what.

Qin Yun, of course, would not agree. He believed these three Nine Sun Sects were aligned with the demonic path.

Moreover, the way these middle-aged men looked at Yang Shiyue filled him with rage.

"What if we refuse?" Yang Shiyue asked.

"Then we'll have to kill you!" the middle-aged man laughed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Shiyue's hand moved slightly, and she swiftly thrust her sword, piercing the man's skull!

Qin Yun's broadsword slashed out fiercely, sending another middle-aged man flying.

"Why is their armor so tough?" Qin Yun cursed inwardly. Without the armor, his blade would have split the man in half.

"Xiao Yun, go and hold off one of them. You don't need to kill him; just hold him off until I get there!" Yang Shiyue said, quickly chasing after a fleeing middle-aged man. Once she caught up, she swung her sword and stabbed.

Qin Yun pursued the man he had sent flying earlier and engaged in a fierce battle with him.

Not long after, Yang Shiyue killed another middle-aged man and then rushed over to Qin Yun's side, stabbing the last man to death with a few swift strikes.

Qin Yun was amazed. Yang Shiyue's strength was terrifyingly powerful, able to pierce through the defense of the Dao Artifact Armor and kill directly.

But earlier, when she fought those youths, she hadn't used this kind of power.

Qin Yun guessed that Yang Shiyue might have been worried that Granny Ling would notice.

"Yang sister, you're really amazing!" Qin Yun smiled.

Yang Shiyue flew toward the middle-aged man in the distance, about to retrieve a Dao Pill, but she found her body unable to move!

Qin Yun's expression also changed. Not only could he not move, but the power of his three Dao Pills had also been sealed.

"Admittedly, you two are quite formidable!"

A youth dressed in black, with a handsome face, darted over.

Yang Shiyue said coldly, "Xiao Yun, while we were fighting, they sent people to sneak in and place formation flags nearby, activating a large formation to trap us!"

"This beauty is right," the handsome youth laughed, "it was your oversight... but it's normal, after all, there are only two of you!" He smiled and said, "Greetings, I am Wu Shengtian, the new lord of the Martial Path Ancient City!"

"We offered you a chance to accept our terms earlier, but not only did you not agree, you also killed our people!"

Wu Shengtian walked towards Yang Shiyue with a smile, unaffected by the large formation.

"What are you going to do? If you touch her, I will ensure you meet a gruesome end!" Qin Yun roared in anger upon seeing Wu Shengtian approach Yang Shiyue.

"What an unparalleled beauty! How could I just touch her, I will also have her bear my children!" Wu Shengtian laughed loudly.

He came to Yang Shiyue's side, caressing her soft ponytail, savoring its scent, and said with a face full of intoxication, "Truly a celestial beauty in the mortal realm! I claim you now!"

Yang Shiyue shook with fury, and Qin Yun's eyes were filled with rage.

At this moment, several people came to Qin Yun's side, inserting a tube the size of a finger into his wrist to begin draining his blood.

"Beauty, you are so beautiful? What is your name? Tell your husband quickly, and I'll send you to heaven with ecstasy!" Wu Shengtian licked his lips, his face full of a sinister and excited smile.

"I'd sooner die than let you taint me!" Yang Shiyue gritted her teeth in anger, her heart aching as she watched Qin Yun being drained of blood.

Qin Yun's face contorted in rage as Wu Shengtian's hands were already on Yang Shiyue's shoulders, about to remove her clothes!

"Beast!" Qin Yun roared in anger, and a savage devouring force erupted from his body.

The people draining his blood were all at the Ninth Layer Martial Path, and at this moment, their martial souls suddenly burst forth from their martial cores and rushed into Qin Yun's body!

Qin Yun's eyes turned completely black, like two abyssal voids, horrifying.

Wu Shengtian, who was about to remove Yang Shiyue's outer clothes, did not anticipate Qin Yun's sudden transformation!

His face changed, and he quickly flew over, shouting, "Everyone, come out and take him down together!"

Qin Yun still could not move, but a powerful devouring force emanated from his body!

Then, more than ten hidden warriors at the Ninth Layer Martial Path flew out one after another. As soon as they approached Qin Yun, their martial souls were all ripped out and absorbed into Qin Yun's body.

"You will all perish!" Qin Yun growled deeply.

"You... hahaha, you're still immobilized!" Wu Shengtian, who was about to approach, found that anyone who got close would have their martial soul taken away, and he was also terrified.

Wu Shengtian quickly retreated to Yang Shiyue's side, laughing, "So this is your sweetheart! Then I must savor her even more! Don't worry, I will savor her in front of you, so you can also..."

Before he could finish, Qin Yun rushed over, his furious fist shrouded in black qi, striking towards Wu Shengtian's head.

Wu Shengtian's strength was truly formidable, able to dodge quickly, but he was no longer so calm, because Qin Yun could move within this array.

"Shengtian, quickly control the formation and kill them!" An elder in the air said with a cold face.

They had also lost many excellent disciples at the Ninth Layer Martial Path earlier, but none were too important.

But Wu Shengtian was very important to them, and they did not want to see him die here.

Wu Shengtian quickly distanced himself from Qin Yun, controlling the formation here, unleashing bolts of wild thunder, lashing out at Qin Yun and Yang Shiyue.

"Shatter!" Qin Yun roared angrily, stomping his foot with great force. A violent shockwave burst forth from his body, surging into the ground below.

An incredibly intense earthquake instantly shook the ground, the earth undulated like the sea, with soil and rubble on the ground swaying like waves!

This was Qin Yun using his earthquake divine ability, sending the earth into violent tremors.

This area was originally flat, but after the earthquake, small hills actually formed!

The earth roared, continuously shaking and tearing open numerous fissures. The surrounding flag formations were instantly destroyed.

Yang Shiyue was now able to move and quickly flew over, thrusting her sword at Wu Shengtian. She pierced his dantian, severing his source of energy, then bound him with ropes.

"Wu Shengtian, right? I'll make sure you feel my power before you die!"

After saying this, Yang Shiyue came to Qin Yun's side, gently supporting him and channeling a stream of inner energy into his body.

"Don't use the power of that martial soul recklessly. You can't fully control it yet!" she gently stroked his face and softly admonished him.

"Sister Yang, I'm just glad you're safe!" Qin Yun smiled, the black mist in his eyes dissipated. However, his skin cracked, oozing blood.

Yang Shiyue swiftly released a silver mist, enveloping his entire body and healing his cracking skin.

The tree totem associated with Qin Yun's Nether Sun Martial Soul also released a tenacious life force that aided in his recovery.

Yang Shiyue carefully examined him, inwardly exclaiming, "So he has a tree totem too, no wonder he's been able to suppress the ferocity of the Nether Sun Martial Soul all along!"

She had long been aware of Qin Yun's condition but had never mentioned it.

Qin Yun gradually recovered. His natural healing ability was formidable, and he now understood that he couldn't use the divine powers of the Nether Sun Martial Soul because his body and spirit weren't strong enough!

If his spirit wasn't strong enough, he couldn't control himself.

If his body wasn't strong enough, the unleashed power would backfire and destroy him.

Wu Shengtian, bound and lying on the ground, looked up at the elder in the air, wailing, "Grandfather, save me... my dantian is broken, I can't use my power!"

"Qin Yun, do you want to know the secret of the Martial Ancient City? Just let him leave the city, and I'll tell you!" the black-clad elder in the air sighed and said.

"I don't want to know!" Qin Yun said. "Right now, I just want to kill this scoundrel!"

Yang Shiyue coldly added, "Me too!"

She recalled how she had almost been defiled, feeling both furious and disgusted.

"If you kill him, you'll gain nothing! The secret of the Martial Ancient City is known only to us of the Nine Sun Sect. We know this secret best because we were the ones who helped build this ancient city!" The elder remained calm, speaking indifferently.

Yang Shiyue seemed to channel some force into Wu Shengtian's body, causing him to let out a piercing scream.

At the same time, Qin Yun extracted Wu Shengtian's martial soul.

Seeing the martial soul, both Qin Yun and Yang Shiyue were surprised—it was a purple-gold Sun Martial Soul!

"You... you must stop this, let's talk this over!" the elder said. But Qin Yun struck with the Ultimate Dragon Palm, blasting Wu Shengtian into ashes.

Qin Yun would never let Wu Shengtian go, no matter what.

And Yang Shiyue would never allow Wu Shengtian to live either.

"I will kill you all!" The elder in the air was furious, his body radiating black mist as a black dragon flew out from within him.

The black dragon swiftly flew through the city gates, charging directly at Qin Yun and Yang Shiyue.
