"Yang Ming, why are you so happy?" Gu Xuan looked over and asked.
Yang Ming quickly exited his body and said to Gu Xuan: "It's nothing, it's just a breakthrough in a certain spiritual skill. Let's go to the swamp quickly."
After hearing this, Gu Xuan didn't ask any more questions, and the three of them sped up and flew towards the swamp...
A day later, a rotten smell could be faintly smelled in the air, which meant that the swamp was not far ahead. When the three of them actually arrived at the swamp, they discovered that something was wrong.
"What happened here? Why are there so many spirit beast corpses?" Yang Ming looked at the spirit beast corpses piled up like a hill around him and asked with some confusion.
Judging from the degree of decomposition of these corpses, they should have been piled here recently, and they all have one thing in common, that is, their heads were chopped off and their souls were taken away.
"Be careful. I can see that these spiritual beasts are all killed in one blow. The opponent must be very strong, and is most likely a peak expert in the reincarnation realm." Gu Xuan said solemnly.
After hearing this, Yang Ming and Quinn's expressions became solemn, especially the latter. In his current state, he can only use 50% of his strength at most. If he meets a strong man at the peak of the reincarnation realm, let alone confront him, he will not be able to fight against him.
Escape is a problem.
"Quinn, why don't you hide first and wait until we understand the situation clearly? I don't think the other party is necessarily planning on the ghost soul nourishing lotus." Yang Ming turned to Quinn and said.
After hearing this, Quinn could only nod his head and find a hiding place to hide. Yang Ming and Gu Xuan also continued to go deep into the swamp, looking for traces of the ghost soul-raising lotus.
In this swamp full of spirit beast corpses, as the number of corpses piled up increased, the two of them soon found traces of the ghost soul-nurturing lotus, but there was a figure shrouded in black mist next to it, which made Yang Ming's heart skip a beat.
Sunk to the bottom.
"That person is Duan Arthur!" Yang Ming whispered.
"Duan Arthur? That Duan Arthur who is known as the strongest genius? Why is he here?" Gu Xuan also stared at the figure not far away after hearing Yang Ming's words. This is not good news for them.
.
"He was hit by Gobda's 'Spirit-Binding Rope' before, and his spiritual power was imprisoned. The purpose of coming here should be the same as ours, to find the ghost soul-nurturing lotus." Yang Ming explained.
"He clearly has spiritual power fluctuations on his body. It doesn't look like his spiritual power is imprisoned. And if his spiritual power is imprisoned, how can he kill so many spiritual beasts?" Gu Xuan obviously doesn't believe Yang Ming's statement.
.
"I was also present during the battle between him and Gobda. I'm sure he was hit. As for why he can use spiritual power now, I don't know." Yang Ming said with great certainty.
"So, these spirit beast corpses are Duan Arthur's fertilizer to induce ghosts and soul-raising lotuses."
Seeing that the corpses were surrounded by a circle, with a black and white flower bud waiting to be planted in the center of the circle, which was exactly the same as the ghost soul-nurturing lotus described by Huo Lei, Duan Arthur stood guard next to the flower bud, not letting any living beings get close.
"What should we do now?" Gu Xuan looked at the bud that had already spread a layer of petals, turned to Yang Ming and asked, this ghost soul-raising lotus is about to bloom under the influence of so much corpse energy, and Duan Arthur will eat it when the time comes.
, Yang Ming will be too late if he thinks of a solution.
"I'll lure Arthur Duan away. You go back and call Quinn over. As soon as the ghost soul-nurturing lotus blooms, let Quinn eat it immediately to recover his soul injury." Yang Ming said to Gu Xuan.
"How can this be done? A Gobda almost killed you, let alone dealing with Duan Arthur, who is stronger than Gobda!" Gu Xuan refused Yang Ming's suggestion.
"I'm not confronting him head-on. Since he will be here waiting for the Ghost Soul-Raising Lotus to mature, it proves that his imprisonment has not been completely lifted and he cannot exert his full strength. With my speed, it is no problem to lure him away.
"Yes." Yang Ming analyzed.
"That's what I say, but I think it's still very risky. What if he..."
Yang Ming interrupted Gu Xuan to prevent him from continuing, and then flew straight to Duan Arthur. Gu Xuan wanted to call him back, but Duan Arthur had already discovered Yang Ming and flew towards him. Gu Xuan was so angry that he gritted his teeth and had to
Go back and find Quinn.
"Stop!" Duan Arthur stood in front of Yang Ming, pointed the long sword in his hand at the opponent, and shouted.
"Duan Arthur, has your imprisonment been lifted?" Yang Ming came up and uncovered the other party's scars.
"Who are you, and how do you know about me?" Black mist shrouded Duan Arthur's face, and it was impossible to see his expression at this time, but from what he said, Yang Ming knew that the other party had not been released from imprisonment.
"It seems that the strongest genius can capsize in the gutter!" Yang Ming sighed, but what Duan Arthur heard in his ears seemed to be mocking him.
"you wanna die!"
Duan Arthur pulled out his spiritual sword and swung a blow at Yang Ming. The latter was well prepared and nimbly dodged the blow, but the spirit beast corpse behind him was not so lucky and was cut into two halves.
.
Yang Ming's eyes flashed. Duan Arthur's attack was not as powerful as the one he saw that day, which confirmed his suspicion that the opponent had indeed not released the imprisonment, or that he had not completely released the imprisonment.
"Haha, I'm just telling the truth. Are you being tricked, why don't you let others tell you?" Yang Ming's sharp words and expression of wanting to be beaten successfully aroused Duan Arthur's anger, and he stabbed Yang Ming directly with his sword.
.
Yang Ming dodged again. Although he wanted to test the opponent's strength in person, his mission was just to delay time, so he quickly retreated after dodging.
Duan Arthur was so angry that he forgot about the ghost soul-raising lotus and chased Yang Ming with his long sword on his hands.
Yang Ming felt the killing intent coming from behind him. When he looked back, he saw Duan Arthur ten meters behind him. At this distance, if the opponent took action, he would definitely hit him.
"Blood Burning Technique!" Yang Ming muttered silently in his mind, and his speed suddenly doubled. Upon seeing this, Duan Arthur immediately activated the long sword under his feet to increase his speed.
At this time, Gu Xuan had already brought Quinn to the vicinity of the Ghost Soul-nurturing Lotus. He saw that the bud had opened another layer of petals and was not far from being fully bloomed.
"Not even close." Gu Xuan stared at the buds of the ghost soul-raising lotus and said with a frown. Quinn looked at the buds that were about to bloom, and then looked at Gu Xuan aside, with an inexplicable light in his eyes.
The third layer of petals is about to unfold. From the gaps in the petals, you can see the heart of the flower. A strong stench comes from the petals, followed by a fragrance. The two mix together to form an indescribable smell.
.
"It's open, eat it quickly." Gu Xuan reached the last layer of petals and fully stretched them, and quickly urged Quinn to take it.
But just when Quinn stepped forward to eat the ghost soul-raising lotus, a sharp sword energy shot from above his head. If Gu Xuan hadn't quickly pulled Quinn away, the former would probably have been hit by this sword energy.
Split in half.
"I just said something was wrong. It turns out there are two rats here, trying to steal my Ghost Soul-Raising Lotus." Duan Arthur was condescending, looking at the two figures below with murderous eyes.
"call out!"
Yang Ming hurried to Gu Xuan and Quinn and said apologetically: "I didn't expect him to find out the clues so quickly."
"It doesn't matter. I'll deal with him with you. Quinn, just take the opportunity to eat the ghost soul-nurturing lotus and then refine it to regain your strength. I don't believe that he hasn't re-refined the absorbed treasure of heaven and earth yet."
Xuan geared up and looked at the figure in the sky provocatively.
"Hmph, do you really think that since I have trapped my spiritual power, you can take the opportunity to defeat me? Let me tell you, this is impossible!" Duan Arthur swung his long sword, and a sharp sword energy was shot at the three of them.
"Why does he still have such strong spiritual power?" Gu Xuan hurriedly threw several punches, but without exception, they were disintegrated by the sword energy. Yang Ming also converted the improved attributes of the Burning Blood Art into attack power, and the Tianlin Thunder in his hand
The halberd suddenly struck down, neutralizing Duan Arthur's attack.
"Huh, do you know the gap between us? I'm not afraid to tell you that my race can condense the second spiritual core. Last time I was forced back by Gobda, but I still haven't condensed the second spiritual core. Now
I have condensed the second spiritual core and my strength has been restored." Duan Arthur said playfully.
There are races in the world that can condense two spiritual cores. This is something Yang Ming has never thought of, but this does not mean that Duan Arthur can completely get rid of the influence of the soul-binding cord. The role of the soul-binding cord is not only to imprison spiritual power, but also to imprison
Soul, if Duan Arthur doesn't get rid of the soul-binding rope for a day, he won't even be able to reincarnate.
"What should I do?" Gu Xuan asked Yang Ming with an ugly face.
"Now we can only go all out." Yang Ming said in a deep voice.
"Wait a minute."
At this time, Quinn stopped the two people who were about to take action, and then he passed the two people, came to the front, and said to Duan Arthur: "Duan Arthur, I know you are very strong, but even if you eat the ghost soul-raising lotus, you will not be able to survive."
The confinement cannot be lifted.”
"What are you talking about? Are you trying to confuse things? This ghost soul-nurturing lotus can restore the power of the soul and replenish the missing soul. Why can't it release the imprisonment of the soul?" Arthur Duan didn't believe what Quinn said at all.
"Because I know the working mechanism of the Three-Eyed Clan's Soul Binding Cord." Quinn said calmly.
"Huh?" Duan Arthur was shocked in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface and said, "Stop bragging. You are not a three-eyed person. How can you know the mechanism of the soul-binding rope?"
Quinn didn't panic at all and said in an unchanged tone: "Because the Soul Binding Rope was not created by the Sky Eye Clan at all, it is a skill of our Bode Clan."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Quinn's head must be broken. This soul-binding rope is clearly a skill passed down by the Sky Eye Clan. How could it become a skill of the Bode Clan?
"Haha, you have to be realistic when you lie. Such lies really make me laugh to death." Arthur Duan dropped to the ground from the air, looked at Quinn as if he were a fool, and put his long sword on the opponent's neck.
.
"Believe it or not, I can unlock your imprisonment anyway, and you don't need this ghost soul-raising lotus at all." Quinn's confident eyes made Duan Arthur's heart shaken.
