Chapter 733 - 732: The Soul-Collecting Butterfly Unleashes Its Skill, Taking Down 2 at Once

Tang Jiesheng and his two companions finally faced reality.

She wasn’t some naive little girl on her first trip, unaware of the world’s dangers.

She was clearly a hardened veteran of countless battlefields who could kill without batting an eye!

Their plan to threaten her had failed completely.

The "hero saving the damsel in distress" act was also a dead end.

Tang Jiesheng dropped the act.

The fake smile vanished from his face, replaced by a vicious expression.

In his eyes, although Gu Yuexi appeared incredibly calm and collected, and her methods were a bit unexpected, she was ultimately just a Profound Understanding Realm Cultivator.

Oh, right.

And she had a White-striped Aedes Mosquito as a pet.

The three of them were all in the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Three Divinity Transformation Realm experts against one Profound Understanding Realm Cultivator and a mosquito.

’There’s no way we can lose, right?!!’

"Since you’re asking to die..."

Tang Jiesheng began coldly.

A flicker of lightning surrounded him as he began to summon the Law of Thunder.

"Then don’t blame us for being rough!"

"Huang Mao, Rat, go!"

"Make it quick!"

At Tang Jiesheng’s command, the three men surrounding Gu Yuexi attacked almost simultaneously.

Huang Mao summoned two poison-coated daggers.

Rat unleashed a cloud of dark green, poisonous mist.

Tang Jiesheng was also gathering power for his Law of Thunder.

The three Attacks shot straight toward Gu Yuexi.

Gu Yuexi, already clad in her Empress Battle Armor, was about to raise her hand to meet the enemy.

Suddenly, Chu Sheng stopped her.

"Don’t be hasty!"

Chu Sheng’s voice, tinged with amusement, rang in her ear.

"Let me see how effective these Soul-Collecting Butterflies I just caught are."

As Chu Sheng finished speaking, he focused his thoughts.

From the Chaos Nest, he released ten Soul-Collecting Butterflies.

Ten palm-sized purple butterflies, beating their translucent wings, hovered neatly behind Chu Sheng.

Soul-Collecting Butterflies at the Divinity Transformation Realm have two Core Skills.

The first Skill is [Soul Devourer].

It was somewhat similar to Chu Sheng’s [God-devouring Needle].

However, the God-devouring Needle could absorb Divine Blood, Divine Soul, Divine Essence, and the Essence of Origin.

Soul Devourer, on the other hand, could only absorb the Divine Soul.

But it had one advantage: it could be stored.

Its function was similar to the Bloodthirsty Demon Bees of the past, which collected blood to create Blood Crystal Balls.

The second Skill is [Enchanting Soul].

This was the Illusion Technique that made other Cultivators’ faces pale with fear.

Other Illusion Techniques mainly used hypnosis or created illusions.

At most, they would put you to sleep or immerse you in an Illusion, and you’d be fine once you woke up.

But the Soul-Collecting Butterfly’s [Enchanting Soul] was a direct attack on the enemy’s Divine Soul Origin, dealing true Divine Soul damage.

Hypnosis would, at most, make you lose your ability to fight.

An attack on the Divine Soul, however, could obliterate both body and soul.

Furthermore, the Soul-Collecting Butterflies had another, even more terrifying trait—their power stacked in a group.

The more Soul-Collecting Butterflies that used [Enchanting Soul], the stronger the Divine Soul Attack became.

For example, a single Soul-Collecting Butterfly at the Divinity Transformation Realm First Layer using [Enchanting Soul] could only inflict a certain amount of damage on a Divinity Transformation Realm First Layer enemy.

Against a Cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Realm Second Layer or higher, its power would diminish until it was almost negligible.

But if two Divinity Transformation Realm First Layer Soul-Collecting Butterflies used [Enchanting Soul] at the same time, the stacked Divine Soul damage could easily kill a Divinity Transformation Realm Second Layer Cultivator.

In other words, the effect of [Enchanting Soul] could be continuously stacked with an increasing number of Soul-Collecting Butterflies!

This was the most terrifying thing about the Soul-Collecting Butterflies.

It was also the fundamental reason no one dared to provoke a swarm of them.

Just imagine.

Tens of thousands of Soul-Collecting Butterflies using [Enchanting Soul] simultaneously.

The Divine Soul Attack would surge forth like a tidal wave.

Even an expert from the Celestial God Realm would have their Divine Soul thrown into turmoil and be forced to flee in terror!

The ten Soul-Collecting Butterflies Chu Sheng had summoned had Realms ranging from the Divinity Transformation Second Layer to the Divinity Transformation Seventh Layer.

After being released by Chu Sheng, they immediately obeyed Chu Sheng’s Divine Thought. With a simultaneous flutter of their wings, they unleashed the Enchanting Soul Technique directly at Tang Jiesheng and his men.

Ten invisible Divine Soul ripples instantly merged, forming a much stronger Divine Soul shockwave that swept toward the three men.

The stacked power of them using [Enchanting Soul] at the same time would be difficult to withstand even for an expert at the Divinity Transformation Ninth Layer!

And the strongest of the trio, Tang Jiesheng, was merely at the Divinity Transformation Eighth Layer.

There was no way he could resist the combined [Enchanting Soul] unleashed by these ten Soul-Collecting Butterflies!

"Holy shit!!! What is happening!!!"

Tang Jiesheng and his men had only charged halfway before the situation completely bewildered them.

’Weren’t you here to catch Soul-Collecting Butterflies?’

’How did the Soul-Collecting Butterflies end up helping you?’

Tang Jiesheng and his men couldn’t figure it out.

Nor did they have any time to.

The invisible Enchanting Soul Technique had already washed over them, instantly invading their Seas of Consciousness and launching a frenzied attack on their Divine Souls!

"Ah! My head! It hurts!"

Huang Mao, the weakest with only a Divinity Transformation Third Layer Cultivation, was the first to succumb.

He clutched his head, howling as he collapsed and writhed on the ground.

He was like Sun Wukong having the tightening-spell cast on him, his features twisting in agony!

Rat was next.

He was only at the Divinity Transformation Fourth Layer, not much stronger than Huang Mao.

He was quickly brought down by the Soul-Collecting Butterflies’ Divine Soul Attack, clutching his head and convulsing on the ground.

"Boss, I can’t take it!"

"Boss, help me! My Divine Soul is about to shatter!"

Huang Mao and Rat cried out to Tang Jiesheng for help between pained gasps as they writhed on the ground, their voices filled with agony.

Relying on his Divinity Transformation Realm Eighth Layer Cultivation, Tang Jiesheng’s Divine Soul was much tougher, and he barely managed to resist the butterflies’ Enchanting Soul Technique.

But even so, his head throbbed, and his Sea of Consciousness was in turmoil, causing him immense discomfort.

"Damn it!"

Tang Jiesheng gritted his teeth, glancing at Huang Mao and Rat, who were in agony on the ground.

There wasn’t a hint of pity in his eyes; he had no intention of saving them.

Instead, he took advantage of the moment while Huang Mao and Rat were absorbing some of the pressure.

He launched a counter-attack against the Soul-Collecting Butterflies in the air.

"Celestial Punishment Thunder Domain! Activate!"

Following Tang Jiesheng’s low shout, purple lightning instantly erupted with a loud CRACKLE.

A small Thunder Divine Domain rapidly unfolded, enveloping all ten Soul-Collecting Butterflies.

Thunder continuously struck around the Soul-Collecting Butterflies, disrupting the flow of their Demonic Power.

Under the interference of the Law of Thunder, the power of the Enchanting Soul Technique was significantly weakened.

The Divine Soul Attack on Tang Jiesheng immediately lightened.

He seized the opportunity to quickly summon his Lifebound Magical Treasure—the Celestial Demon Axe.

The giant axe was pitch-black, its blade wreathed in purple lightning, and it radiated a ferocious aura.

"Thunderous Mountain-Splitting Slash!"

Tang Jiesheng roared, gripping the axe with both hands and raising it high.

Streams of berserk Power of Thunder and Lightning were released from the Celestial Demon Axe.

It instantly locked onto the nearest Soul-Collecting Butterfly, one at the Divinity Transformation Second Layer.

Tang Jiesheng rejoiced internally.

’No prey locked on by my Celestial Demon Axe has ever escaped!’

"Die!!!"

Tang Jiesheng bellowed.

The Celestial Demon Axe, wreathed in the power of raging thunder, tore through the air as it viciously chopped toward the Soul-Collecting Butterfly.

With his Cultivation at the Divinity Transformation Realm Eighth Layer, killing a mere Divinity Transformation Realm Second Layer Soul-Collecting Butterfly with a full-power strike would be effortless.

’Once I kill the first, I can kill the second.’

’After I’ve chopped all the Soul-Collecting Butterflies to death, without the interference of the Divine Soul Attack, I’ll slowly go settle the score with Gu Yuexi!’

’When the time comes, I’ll make sure that bitch is put in a state where she can neither live nor die!’

Just as he thought that the Soul-Collecting Butterfly was about to become a dead soul under his axe,

a black mosquito leg, about as thick as a hemp rope,

suddenly barred the path in front of the Soul-Collecting Butterfly.
