Chapter 2261 - 2220: Drive the Tiger, Swallow the Wolf

Jiang Hongtao sent two people to follow Wang Xiaoqiang, still uneasy, he personally took the remaining sixteen people to follow as well, but they stayed far behind, keeping within the range of his Divine Sense.

Wang Xiaoqiang not only didn't try to shake them off, on the contrary, he worried that Jiang Hongtao and others wouldn't follow, because Jiang Hongtao's disciples from the Five Elements Sect were all strong, each at the Decline Realm of Heavenly Beings, with seven Divine Souls and three Divine Spirits all Condensed.

If he could take them down, then their Divine Souls and Divine Spirits would all belong to him, which he could use to Refine and Transform, allowing him to Condense Divine Sense and breakthrough in his cultivation base.

In the next half a day, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't head straight for the Corpse Yin Mountain Range, instead, he wandered around Nanyang City, and when tired, he found an inn to rest. He stayed at the inn until midnight, then used his Storage Ring to store Zhou Jingzhe and Du Lingfei, and headed with Little Zhang toward the Corpse Yin Mountain Range.

The two Five Elements Sect disciples who were tracking them saw this, informed Jiang Hongtao with a Communication Talisman, and closely followed behind them.

Nanyang City was close to the Corpse Yin Mountain Range, and in no time, Wang Xiaoqiang and Little Zhang flew over the heart of the mountain range. Wang Xiaoqiang opened his Heavenly Eye, found a relatively large valley, and entered.

At midnight, the valley was filled with miasma, ghosts were everywhere, and strong Dead Spirits roamed, especially in the valley Wang Xiaoqiang chose, due to its large space, the miasma was thicker, more ghosts appeared, and there were three Dead Spirits.

However, these three Dead Spirits weren't all in one place—one was alone, while two were nestled together, seemingly in love.

The Corpse Yin Mountain Range is a forbidden land for cultivators, even those in the First Decline of Heavenly Beings fear it. Watching Wang Xiaoqiang enter the miasma-filled valley, the two Five Elements Sect disciples tracking him were too afraid to enter.

"Hey, you tailing insects, why aren't you following? If you have guts, come down and try..." Wang Xiaoqiang stood in the valley and flipped the two disciples in the night sky a middle finger.

The two disciples showed expressions of embarrassment and anger, realizing this should be a trap set by Wang Xiaoqiang, and thinking there was deceit involved maintained caution and didn't land. They could still monitor him from the sky, plus Jiang Hongtao and others would arrive soon—it wasn't too late to eliminate Wang Xiaoqiang with everyone there.

Seeing they wouldn't descend into the valley, Wang Xiaoqiang flew up directly, approaching the two; they showed wary expressions and quietly backed away.

Wang Xiaoqiang accelerated towards them, killing intent flashing in his eyes.

Seeing things go awry, the two immediately released their Divine Sense to lock onto Wang Xiaoqiang, who shook his arms, suddenly releasing Blood Qi, blasting outward in a ring, shattering their Divine Sense. He then extended his Grasp Stars and Moon Technique, reaching for them.

The two were shocked, quickly dodging while releasing Magic Treasures covered in their Divine Souls and Divine Spirits to fend him off.

But before they could attack, Wang Xiaoqiang's Grasp Stars and Moon Technique already reached them, directly capturing their bodies in his giant hand,

Both were in the Second Decline of Heavenly Beings, their bodies debilitated severely; one had a crippled arm, the other a crippled leg, both weak and failing, like ants crushed in hand after the Grasp Stars and Moon Technique seized them, unable to move.

"Ah, no, don't kill us..." Realizing danger, they screamed in great fear, unwilling yet despairing.

"Not killing you, how could I take your Divine Spirits and Divine Souls," Wang Xiaoqiang said with no hesitation, squeezing hard with both hands, and with two popping sounds, their bodies exploded into blood mist, allowing their Divine Souls and Divine Spirits a chance to escape.

With a cold snort, Wang Xiaoqiang's Grasp Stars and Moon Technique contracted its five fingers, ceaselessly grabbing, immediately pulling all fourteen Divine Spirits and six Divine Souls into his palm...

"Boy, you're ruthless, killed people and don't even spare their souls?" From the sky, Jiang Hongtao and others who arrived saw Wang Xiaoqiang's brutal actions, seething in anger as they shouted.

"No, no, you got it wrong. I not only won't spare their souls, but I also won't leave behind their bodies, haha..." Wang Xiaoqiang cruelly said, activating the Soul and Spirit Manual, flames rising, Refining and Transforming the duo's Divine Spirits and Divine Souls,

With the energy of the Divine Souls and Divine Spirits refined, Wang Xiaoqiang's Second Divine Thought grew stronger, but his left hand continued to decline...

"This boy's become rabid, there's no reasoning with him; everyone, attack together and annihilate him." Jiang Hongtao, eyes bloodshot with hatred, pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang and yelled,

Instantly, the sixteen behind him moved together, swooping towards Wang Xiaoqiang to attack.

Wang Xiaoqiang's will prompted the Patterned Beast to fly out, carrying him as it turned to descend, landing before Little Zhang, who jumped onto the Patterned Beast's back,

The Patterned Beast roared thunderously at Jiang Hongtao and others who were swooping down from the sky, then ran off within the valley, heading towards the two amorous Dead Spirits.

Within the valley, the Ghost Souls were alarmed, surging like a tide, shrieking with anger, their sheer density was terrifying; brainless as they were, they didn't recognize danger, nor did the enemy's strength matter; anyone entering their territory would be their target to kill, fearlessly.

The three Dead Spirits were also jolted, charging towards Wang Xiaoqiang and Little Zhang on the Patterned Beast's back,

Now, from all directions, sky and ground, the killing intent was pervasive, and Wang Xiaoqiang and Little Zhang were cornered,

Yet, at this moment, Little Zhang, who had been prepared, stuffed a dagger into his mouth, producing that grating sound of teeth grinding,

Little Zhang focused on the Soul Shock Spell, and after recent cultivation, he had greatly advanced his skill, producing more urgent and penetrating, louder and more thorough sounds with greater deterrent force,

What couldn't previously shake Dead Spirits now sufficed to halt them; under the ear-shattering grinding sound, the surge of Ghost Souls stopped, shrieking in fear, retreating warily, and the three Dead Spirits, intimidated by the Soul Shock Spell, dared not approach the brothers, their attention turned to Jiang Hongtao and others descending from the sky.

Though Jiang Hongtao and others were all in the Decline Realm of Heavenly Beings, under the Soul Shock Spell, their souls trembled and spirits shook, and their descent briefly stalled.

In that instant of hesitation, the three Dead Spirits rushed up and entangled them.

Taking advantage, Wang Xiaoqiang released three Dead Spirit Puppets to charge at Jiang Hongtao and others as well.

Then, with a thought commanding his Patterned Beast, it roared and lunged at Jiang Hongtao and the others,

One beast, six Dead Spirits, completely entangled Jiang Hongtao and his sixteen followers.

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't rush to attack them for the kill; he held still, conserving his strength for later, extending his Grasp Stars and Moon Technique directly towards Jiang Hongtao to seize him.
