Seeing Lu Yang relax his guard, the Southern Sea Sword Demon directly roamed his divine soul within Bai Shumin's body, once again devouring Bai Shumin's soul.
"Hmph, I knew you wouldn't keep your promise. Since that's the case, I don't need to show you any mercy!"
Lu Yang spoke, and countless silver needles flew towards the Southern Sea Sword Demon's body, directly sealing several major acupoints and immobilizing the Southern Sea Sword Demon's body.
"Kid, what are you doing?"
The Southern Sea Sword Demon roared loudly when he found his body unable to move.
"You broke your promise and betrayed your oath, attempting to devour Bai Shumin's soul. That's courting death. Naturally, I won't let you have it easy!"
Lu Yang sneered and directly summoned Bai Shumin's soul.
"Shumin, can you hear my voice?"
Lu Yang asked, looking at Bai Shumin's body.
"Yes!"
Bai Shumin's voice was very weak. Lu Yang could sense that Bai Shumin's soul had been heavily wounded. If he had arrived half an hour later, Bai Shumin's soul would likely have been devoured by the Southern Sea Sword Demon.
"I will now impart to you a soul refinement technique. This method can make your soul incredibly powerful, and then you can seize your body back. Listen carefully!"
As Lu Yang spoke, he directly transmitted this soul refinement technique into Bai Shumin's ear using a secret sound.
Soon, Bai Shumin completely understood the soul refinement technique.
"Now that you've understood everything, cultivate on your own. I will protect you!"
Lu Yang said indifferently.
"Okay!"
Bai Shumin agreed and began to cultivate the soul refinement technique.
"Hmph, even if you refine your soul, it will be useless. My divine soul is that of an Earth Immortal, incredibly powerful. It's not something a mere mortal like you can devour!"
The Southern Sea Sword Demon said dismissively.
Lu Yang ignored the Southern Sea Sword Demon, merely controlling him continuously. Every ten minutes, Lu Yang had to insert a silver needle into the Southern Sea Sword Demon's body. This was because the Southern Sea Sword Demon was too powerful, and Lu Yang was no match for him. If the Southern Sea Sword Demon broke free, he would still find a way to devour Bai Shumin's soul, and everything would be over.
"Kid, you can't trap me!"
"When you run out of silver needles, I will kill you!"
The Southern Sea Sword Demon said coldly, continuously recovering his body. Time passed, and the Southern Sea Sword Demon's body recovered quickly. Lu Yang had already used all his silver needles. If Bai Shumin could not strengthen her soul in another half an hour, the Southern Sea Sword Demon might truly escape.
Lu Yang was extremely nervous, but he knew that Bai Shumin was cultivating her soul at this moment and could not be disturbed. Otherwise, if Bai Shumin's soul refinement technique was interrupted, she would be mercilessly devoured by the Southern Sea Sword Demon.
Half an hour later, Lu Yang had no more silver needles to seal the Southern Sea Sword Demon's deceit, and the Southern Sea Sword Demon revealed an sinister smile.
"Kid, you have no more tricks, so die!"
The Southern Sea Sword Demon spoke, directly forcing all the silver needles out of his body. His body instantly regained its freedom.
"Die!"
The Southern Sea Sword Demon roared and threw a punch towards Lu Yang.
Lu Yang also threw a punch, and their fists collided.
With a "bang," both of them were pushed back several steps.
"Hmm? Kid, your physical body and strength are actually so powerful that I can't do anything to you now!"
"You wait, when I fully recover, I will definitely kill you!"
After speaking, the Southern Sea Sword Demon instantly disappeared from the cave and fled again. Lu Yang immediately pursued him, but after an hour of pursuit, there was no trace of the Southern Sea Sword Demon.
"I didn't catch the Southern Sea Sword Demon. This is tricky. I don't know if Bai Shumin can succeed, and I still have so many Soul Condensing Pills that I haven't given to Bai Shumin. This..."
Lu Yang looked at the three Soul Calming Pills in his hand and felt a moment of anxiety.
Without the enhancement of these three Soul Calming Pills, it was almost impossible for Bai Shumin to defeat the Southern Sea Sword Demon. After all, the Southern Sea Sword Demon was a formidable expert who had already reached the realm of Land Immortal. His divine soul was also incredibly powerful. To defeat the Southern Sea Sword Demon's divine soul, she had to absorb all three Soul Calming Pills to have a chance.
But now Lu Yang had lost track of the Southern Sea Sword Demon and couldn't find him. All he could do was pray that Bai Shumin could continue to barely survive within her body and contend with the Southern Sea Sword Demon.
Helplessly, Lu Yang found a hotel to stay in, waiting for an opportunity.
At this moment, the Southern Sea Sword Demon had fled into a secluded mountain, evading Lu Yang's pursuit, intending to completely refine Bai Shumin's soul.
Earlier, in order to quickly heal his injuries, the Southern Sea Sword Demon had allowed Bai Shumin to temporarily manage his body. He hadn't expected to almost fall into Lu Yang's trap and be devoured by Bai Shumin's strengthened soul.
And now, without Lu Yang, how could Bai Shumin alone be a match for Lu Yang?
"Little girl, I can feel that your divine soul has undergone a qualitative change. It was originally an ordinary soul, but now it has become a divine soul. If someone had discovered you earlier and cultivated you, your current cultivation would not be weaker than that kid!"
"But it's a pity that you are still a step short. Here, that kid definitely won't find you. I will completely fuse your divine soul, and then there will only be me, the Southern Sea Sword Demon, in this world. You will no longer exist!"
"I will completely fuse with you within this body, and then kill the Xuanwu King!"
"Hahaha, that kid is truly an idiot. A soul can only make one soul oath. He actually wanted me to make two. He's so uncultured. Unfortunately, the second soul oath has no effect on me, so as long as I kill the Xuanwu King, the soul oath won't be broken. Then, I'll kill that kid and everyone around him. No one in the world will be more powerful than me!"
The Southern Sea Sword Demon laughed presumptuously at this thought.
"Hmph, do you think you have enough power to fuse my soul?"
"I just obtained the soul refinement technique from Lu Yang, and my soul is already very strong. As long as you dare to devour my soul, I will fight you to the end. At worst, we'll both perish!"
Bai Shumin was no longer at the mercy of others, but had the confidence to be arrogant. She looked at the Southern Sea Sword Demon and roared coldly.
"Is that so? Let's see who is more powerful!"
The Southern Sea Sword Demon spoke, instantly sat down cross-legged, and began to devour Bai Shumin's soul once more.
