Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Fist Technique Deduction Chapter 155 - 16: Wandering Soul
When Lin Yuan’s body passed through the roof, a chill penetrated his soul, as if he were a naked person walking on a vast snowy plain.
The biting cold wind, capable of freezing one’s soul, penetrated deep into his bones, and Lin Yuan felt as if his very spirit was shivering uncontrollably.
"What is this wind? Why does the cold wind piercing from outside the roof hit my spirit with such intensity, a hundred tis more powerful?" Lin Yuan’s teeth chattered as he tightened his grip, testing his own strength.
Within his soul world, he noticed a powerful presence in the southwest direction.
The soul, constructed of his martial willpower, was seemingly drawn to that shadowy presence.
"What is that? Why does it feel like my own spirit, from such a distance, is being attracted?" Lin Yuan was shocked, this eerie scene compelling him to forcibly suppress his curiosity.
"My willpower is so weak; it can’t withstand even a trace of the cold wind. Yet that entity can freely wander in the cold wind." Lin Yuan’s heart trembled as he subconsciously retracted his spirit, revealing only his head above the roof, observing from afar.
The shadowy presence appeared to even draw in the moonlight, vaguely resembling a giant bird, constantly hovering over the Hong family garden.
"What kind of ghostly entity is this, able to wander freely in the cold wind and seemingly enjoy it imnsely?" Lin Yuan’s expression was extrely grave, clearly showing that such a supernatural presence shattered his understanding.
One must know that he had just erged from the roof, and the cold wind imdiately thinned him out significantly. His soul, forged from martial willpower, was like flour, about to be scattered by the wind.
Yet that ghostly entity could wander cheerfully in all directions, like a fish in water, or like a roaming lost soul continually seeking sustenance.
"No, that thing is too bizarre. I should retreat back into my body for now," Lin Yuan realized that his martial willpower was the foundation of his core energy stage. If it were scattered by the cold wind or targeted by that ghostly entity, it would be too dangerous.
Lin Yuan had an ominous feeling; if his soul, condensed by martial willpower, were severely damaged or disappeared, he might suffer a great loss in his martial foundation, perhaps even beco a simpleton.
Lin Yuan took a deep breath, preparing to retreat back into his body.
But suddenly, that giant bird-like wandering soul perceived the scent of blood like a shark, suddenly heading towards his direction.
"It’s coming this way?" Lin Yuan felt alarm bells ring in his mind, his heart cloaked in coldness: "Have I been discovered?"
"From such a distance, it can sense my presence?" Lin Yuan’s eyes widened, while the attractive force on his spirit grew stronger.
Lin Yuan’s body felt like it was turning to dust, constantly being drawn by the wandering soul.
"No, no!" Lin Yuan’s heart jolted, hastily trying to control his spirit and retreat downward.
The spirit moved between two breaths, reaching the midpoint between them.
However, the wandering soul didn’t seem to discover him as Lin Yuan had feared. It stopped at the midpoint between them.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness." Lin Yuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his back soaked in sweat.
The wandering soul hovered over a region in the middle of Yanghua Town.
"What’s it doing?" Lin Yuan hid his spirit body in the house, revealing only his eyes, staring intently at the distant movents of the wandering soul.
"Hahaha. Orders from the West River Alliance, how dare you defy them." Below where the wandering soul stopped, people from the West River Alliance were killing.
A red-haired man with a round face and sharp eyes stood in the courtyard below.
The red-haired man had one foot on the small family clan leader, saying coldly: "The West River Alliance has already spoken, didn’t you understand?"
"Spare , spare , lord. We were just montarily careless, please spare us. We’ll double our tribute. The Sun family will follow the West River Alliance from now on. Please spare our lives." Before the red-haired man, several people were pinned to the ground by West River Alliance thugs, faces filled with terror, pleading for rcy.
"You were careless, and next ti soone else will be careless. Does the West River Alliance’s word an nothing?" The red-haired man laughed cruelly, saying coldly: "It’s too late to beg for rcy now!"
The red-haired man unleashed his energy, crushing the chest of the person beneath his foot.
Thud, thud, thud.
Heads rolled one after another.
After these people died, a faint black mist seed to rise from their bodies, ascending toward the void.
"This is—" Lin Yuan saw with his eyes that the massive wandering soul craved the black mist, continually swinging from side to side, appearing extrely excited.
"Should I take a closer look?" Lin Yuan remained hidden in the house, unable to see the situation below.
"Today is a perfect opportunity to observe such a monster, plus it hasn’t noticed ; all its attention is on the affairs below." Lin Yuan hesitated, debating whether to continue.
He needed to ascend to get a higher vantage point to see what exactly interested the wandering soul.
But ascending ant facing even fiercer cold winds and the risk of exposing himself to the wandering spirit’s detection.
Lin Yuan hesitantly wavered, his gaze flickering.
"This opportunity cannot be missed; otherwise, facing such a wandering soul directly next ti would be even more dangerous." Lin Yuan resolutely gritted his teeth.
And so Lin Yuan concentrated his willpower again, exposing his entire body to the cold wind.
As his spirit ascended higher and higher, the cold wind lashed at him ever more fiercely.
"I don’t need to concentrate my spirit; being blown by the wind helps hide myself instead."
Lin Yuan thought to himself, no longer resisting the cold wind, letting his guard down and continuing to rise.
After ascending about five more zhang, the region where the wandering soul was located fully entered Lin Yuan’s view.
The wandering soul seed desperate for the swirling black mist.
The black mist continued to rise, condensing into a washbasin-sized black cloud in the void. At the sa ti, it was swept away by the cold wind, which scattered and dispersed it like wind through a flour cloud.
Seeing the black mist being blown away, the wandering soul grew extrely agitated, constantly awaiting the black mist arising from the bodies below.
Finally, when no more black mist erged from the deceased bodies of the Sun family below, the wandering soul swooped down.
The wandering soul opened a gaping maw and swallowed the washbasin-sized black mist entirely.
After gulping down the black mist, the wandering soul exuded a sense of satisfaction.
Then it turned and drifted toward another patch of black mist, devouring several in just a few bites.
"It’s eating it?" Lin Yuan was startled, watching the wandering soul’s actions, feeling puzzled.
The wandering soul continued to consu until it had devoured around ten patches of black mist, at which point its movents slowed, as if it were stuffed.
Though additional patches of black mist hovered nearby, still condensing in the void and being constantly dispersed and diminished by the cold wind,
the wandering soul lost interest in these remaining traces, appearing to indulge in the mont.
"It’s full. Not eating anymore." Lin Yuan quickly understood that the wandering soul couldn’t consu any more black mist.
Unexpectedly, this ghostly thing devoured the deathly aura or whatever it was emanating from the bodies of four people? He still didn’t understand.
"Not good. Ti to retreat!" Mind racing, Lin Yuan suddenly thought of hiding away.
The wandering soul seed to survey the surroundings, about to turn in Lin Yuan’s direction.
"Danger." Lin Yuan’s expression changed, imdiately pulling back his willpower, descending swiftly.
