I Can Strengthen Infinitely

Chapter 404 - 263: _5

The injury enraged the Bull-Headed Guardian, and it immediately charged towards Qin Yuesheng, aiming a golden crescent blade to slash at him, attempting to grab at Qin Yuesheng’s crown.

"Who exactly are you! How can you possess such power! Wait until I extract your soul and scan through the sea of your spirit to see who dares to cause trouble in the lower realm!"

As part of the Soul-Grabbing Yin Department, the Bull-Headed Guardian naturally had means for soul searching and reading. As long as a mortal was caught by it, the Bull-Headed Guardian would be able to see through their entire life’s experiences, leaving no trace or clue hidden.

Its actions were incredibly swift; coupled with its oppressive aura of rage, before Qin Yuesheng could dodge, his forehead was already caught by the Bull-Headed Guardian’s large hand.

Just as the Bull-Headed Guardian was about to exert its methods, its expression changed. A Bull-Headed soul was forcibly pulled out of its body and absorbed into the twisted labyrinth deep within Qin Yuesheng’s spirit sea.

Having lost its soul, the Bull-Headed Guardian naturally had no strength to act, collapsing directly onto the ground, unconscious.

Everything happened in an instant. As the Bull-Headed Guardian fell, the golden crescent blade that had descended from the sky abruptly stopped.

Qin Yuesheng breathed a sigh of relief. Had the Bull-Headed Guardian not intended to assault his spirit sea, thereby triggering the twisted labyrinth, tonight’s fierce battle could have been much harder to resolve.

He reached out to hold the Bull-Headed Guardian’s body and activated the disassembly function.

Immediately, it effortlessly disassembled the bull monster into a pile, even more numerous than the disassembly of Jiang Taicang previously.

However, Qin Yuesheng couldn’t spare the time to process these items; after gathering them into the Mountain Ghost Pearl, he hurried to wake the unconscious Huang Ting.

It was Huang Ting who caused this situation; surely, he should have a way to resolve it.

Otherwise, if the Ghost Gate was allowed to remain here, once more Bull-Headed Yin soldiers appeared, Cyan Yang City would face great chaos.

Under Qin Yuesheng’s methods, Huang Ting slowly opened his eyes: "Young Master Qin?"

"Daoist, your questioning methods are too malicious." Qin Yuesheng pointed at the Ghost Gate and asked, "Why has something like this appeared? Quickly get rid of it."

Huang Ting rubbed his temples and immediately began chanting a spell while pulling out the silver needles from the eunuch.

As the silver needles decreased, the Ghost Gate began to dim. When Huang Ting pulled out the last silver needle, the Ghost Gate retracted back underground, disappearing without a trace.

Huang Ting said, "Young Master Qin, weren’t the little ghosts interesting this time?"

From this question, it was clear he wasn’t oblivious to the fact that things would emerge from the Ghost Gate. Qin Yuesheng promptly said, "Interesting? I almost got killed by that Bull-Headed Guardian. Daoist, you’d better avoid using such methods in the future."

"Bull-Headed Guardian?" Huang Ting was startled, but quickly understood: "Young Master Qin, did you encounter a Bull-Headed Yin solider?"

His expression became extremely shocked; clearly, the appearance of the Bull-Headed Yin soldier from the Ghost Gate was also beyond his expectations.

"Exactly, could there be something wrong?" Qin Yuesheng asked.

Huang Ting’s expression turned both startled and fearful, and he confessed guiltily: "The soul-capturing inquiry method I used relies on the power of the netherworld’s little ghosts. It makes the soul of the person being questioned unable to retain any secrets, but as a price, a little ghost sneaks out from the Ghost Gate to take a bite of the soul of the person being questioned as a reward for their assistance.

The one whose soul is bitten won’t suffer fundamentally, but they will experience a temporary state of weakness and tiredness. I’ve used it several times before, but never imagined that tonight it would backfire, causing the Yin soldiers to appear and almost causing a big problem."

Qin Yuesheng said: "What’s the difference in effectiveness between Yin soldiers and little ghosts? I observed that Bull-Headed Guardian’s powerful strength made it difficult to deal with."

Huang Ting solemnly responded: "I’m not sure, but there are records in the ancient texts of the West Qi Mountain Temple. Yin soldiers are so formidable that even a master of the Tenth Layer of the Internal Power Realm would find it hard to handle. Fortunately, that Bull-Headed Yin soldier didn’t choose chaos but rather returned to the Ghost Gate to fulfill its duties."

Qin Yuesheng looked odd: "It didn’t return to fulfill its duties at the Ghost Gate; I fought it and killed it."

Huang Ting was dumbfounded.

Moments later.

"Wha-what did you say? You killed the Bull-Headed Yin soldier?!" Huang Ting’s tone suddenly rose several pitches, like a soprano, looking particularly amusing.

Qin Yuesheng observed that the usually unshakably calm Huang Ting, as if even the sky falling couldn’t affect his mood, was now expressing such discomposure, and so he nodded, saying: "Yes, look at its convenient weapon right here."

Seeing the Yin Sha Double-Bladed Fork on the ground, Huang Ting had no choice but to believe, no matter how incredulous he was.
