How should I put it.
The two of them looked as if they were struck by lightning, their cheeks twisted and twitching, their souls seemingly startled.
As the Divine Sense extended into the circle of poison fog, Ge Xin was equally stunned.
After a while, a look of terror filled his entire face.
In the poison fog, Xia Liu's entire body emitted boundless light.
Outside the light, golden flas burned brightly.
Any poison fog daring to approach him would be incinerated completely.
Ge Xin could discern that the poison fog wasn't rely dispersed.
It was truly purified!
This alone was enough to shock the area for a thousand miles.
If this poison fog is purified, then the secrecy of the Nether Sun Sea Area will be broken.
Moreover, what shocked Ge Xin and Chen Xuanbei even more was.
The Nether Sun Shark was bleeding!
Although not much, the fact that it was injured indicated that Xia Liu had the ability to hunt it!
Terrifying!
Absolutely terrifying!
It was the first ti they saw a cultivator enter the poison fog without being suppressed.
Just when Chen Xuanbei and others thought this was Xia Liu's limit.
Suddenly, the Flowing Fire Sword spinning at low altitude burst forth with a dazzling light.
A massive phantom surged forth from within it.
"This is the Dragon Soul!"
"A real Dragon Soul!"
"My god! Where on earth did he capture this Dragon Soul!"
Ge Xin, Chen Xuanbei, and Lei Mie were shocked to the core.
A Dragon Soul!
That was a precious Super Spirit Body.
Aside from so ancient texts from the Cultivator Era, there were no other ntions of it.
Without frequently referencing ancient texts, they wouldn't have known the terror of this Dragon Soul.
"Number one in the Qi Cultivation Stage! It's definitely him!"
Chen Xuanbei murmured.
At this mont, after Little Seven appeared, it swung its massive body and dove straight into the deep sea.
Soon, the gigantic Nether Sun Shark leaped from the seawater.
If it could show expressions, the Nether Sun Shark would probably be horrified to the extre.
Because it felt an aura of a Divine Beast surpassing the previous Water Dragon.
And it also saw the King of the Divine Beasts!
At this mont, it dared not have any other thoughts, only the urge to flee for its life.
"Little Seven, put so effort into stopping it for !"
Xia Liu conveyed through his Divine Sense.
"Roar!"
The Seven-Colored Dragon Soul roared towards the sky, its massive phantom body leaping directly in front of the Nether Sun Shark.
Locked by the King of the Divine Beasts, the Nether Sun Shark halted imdiately, its enormous body plunging into the seawater.
It dared not make any movent.
After the sea cald, it slowly floated to the surface.
Its tail kept swaying, as if a dog submissively eting its master.
"I can't believe there's such a trick!"
Seeing the Nether Sun Shark nodding and bowing to Little Seven, Xia Liu was dumbfounded.
If he had known it feared Little Seven, he would've unleashed it earlier, saving himself the exertion.
Little Seven roared at Xia Liu with a sense of pride.
"Little Seven, can you communicate with it?"
"Roar!"
The roar from Little Seven made Xia Liu smile slightly: "Then make it drop all defenses and enter an ethereal state."
As ti passed, Xia Liu noticed no longer any pressure emanating from the Nether Sun Shark.
The aura gradually dimd until it completely vanished.
"Now is the ti!"
Seizing the opportunity, Xia Liu's Divine Sense locked onto a specific spot on the Nether Sun Shark.
In the next instant, the Flowing Fire Sword pierced through the unguarded scale armor.
Reaching straight into the Nether Sun Shark's interior.
In less than a second, the Nether Sun Shark reacted.
But it was all over.
After struggling for two seconds, a large hole opened on its chest, and the Flowing Fire Sword flew out.
Alongside it was a cow-head-sized organ!
That was its heart, the Soul Essence!
The Soul Essence was completely blood-red, without any other color.
To Xia Liu's surprise, even after retrieving the Soul Essence, the Nether Sun Shark could still move.
It just lacked any aura.
"Is this Soul Essence akin to a human's Dantian, removing it only takes away cultivation, leaving the body unhard?"
Looking at the lifeless, blood-colored object in front of him, Xia Liu was convinced this was definitely not a heart.
"It seems that old beggar wasn't entirely correct either."
Watching the Nether Sun Shark swiftly swim away, Xia Liu ford another hypothesis.
After taking the Soul Essence, it lost its cultivation but still lived, its body intact, reducing from a Spirit Beast with so consciousness to an ordinary Spirit Beast.
With the Soul Essence inside, the Nether Sun Shark was extrely terrified of Little Seven.
Now it didn't even look at Little Seven before leaving quickly, evidently with no consciousness left.
"Well, it's for the best. I'm not interested in your body, this is good enough."
Murmuring softly, Xia Liu let Little Seven return to the Flowing Fire Sword. After tidying up the scene, Xia Liu used his movent technique to leave the poison fog-covered area.
"Wake up, you three."
Xia Liu had long noticed Ge Xin, Chen Xuanbei, and Lei Mie outside the poison fog.
As he was about to leave the Southeast Region, even if his true identity was discovered, letting them witness his ability wouldn't matter.
"Uh, uh, uh, greetings, Senior Xia!"
Returning to their senses, Ge Xin and the others quickly cupped their fists in salute.
"It's over, let's go back."
"By the way, Senior Xia, that blood-red object, is it the Soul Essence of the Nether Sun Shark?"
Chen Xuanbei asked with curiosity.
"Yes, any other questions?"
"How could the Nether Sun Shark still escape after the Soul Essence was taken?"
Not only Chen Xuanbei was puzzled, but Ge Xin and Lei Mie found it an unsolvable mystery.
"I haven't studied it, but I assu the Soul Essence is rely a container for its stored power. Without power, it still has a body and hence escaped."
This…
Xia Liu's explanation left Chen Xuanbei speechless.
It was very logical.
He voiced his question because the Nether Sun Shark's body was incredibly beneficial for a cultivator with spiritual energy at the fifteenth layer.
Unfortunately, he could only watch as the Nether Sun Shark's body left, helpless.
"Don't feel too regretful. If it belongs to you, it will be yours soday. If it's not ant to be, you can't force it."
"Captain, let's get on the boat first."
With a slight smile, Xia Liu vanished from the sea surface with his movent technique.
This title of 'Captain' made Ge Xin feel imnse pressure, but he had no choice, having previously educated Xia Liu in various ways.
Now it was ti to repay.
Returning to the small boat with Ge Xin, the atmosphere solidified.
After witnessing Xia Liu's abilities, no one dared to speak in his presence.
Because it would be disrespectful to a strong one.
"You don't need to look at
like this. Just consider
Xia Liu from the Dragon-Slaying rcenary Team."
"Senior Xia, you're quite a joker…"
Yun Ruolan smiled bitterly; how could things return to the way they were.
The gaps in cultivation, the gaps in heart state, all suggested that returning to the beginning was impossible.
"Hehe, no need to be too serious. Regardless, I must thank you. However, the urgent matter now is to handle soone."
"Senior Xia is referring to Venerable Wutian?"
With Ge Xin's reminder, Lin Jie's body trembled.
Venerable Wutian was the fraud he invited back; if Xia Liu got angry, he better not get involved…
