In the quiet forests, the beautiful moonlight bathed everything. But in one spot of the forest, chaos reigned.

  Suddenly, Mo Yan fell to his knees, blood oozing from his mouth. The mantra seal plastered on his back was aggressively sucking away his spiritual energy. The inscribed circle on it was continuously spinning and glowing, as the mantra seal was doing its work. In just a few moments, it had absorbed more than half of Mo Yan's spiritual power.

  But suddenly, a dark black shadow appeared and destroyed the mantra seal on Mo Yan's back. And Mo Yan collapsed entirely onto the ground.

  Shen Jichuan walked over to Rong Ke Chang and spoke to Mo Yan:

  "You forced us to take this step, Mo Yan. All your spiritual energy has been stripped away. You are nothing more than a common mortal now. This is your punishment."

  Saying this, the two advanced towards Yu Sui. But Yu Sui, standing in the distance, had endured enough. Despite the presence of the Su Tao Jue mantra seal, he commanded his inner dark soul to awaken. He closed his eyes and whispered:

  "Awaken."

  Immediately, his eyes turned black. His clothes began to flow like black smoke. He floated into the air. Black powers were radiating from his hands. Just as Shen Jichuan and Rong Ke Chang formed the same hand seal, Yu Sui lunged at them. His powers threw both of them far away. Shen Jichuan crashed forcefully into a tree, and Rong Ke Chang into a rock.

  Yu Sui then walked towards Shen Jichuan. As always, his powers were rendering the trees and the ground lifeless as he advanced. Seeing this, Shen Jichuan was truly terrified. He tried to write another mantra, but just then, Yu Sui, with a single strike of his sword, severed Shen Jichuan's hand from his arm. Shen Jichuan screamed loudly. Seeing this, Rong Ke Chang fled and hid in thick bushes.

  Yu Sui grabbed Shen Jichuan by the neck and lifted him up with one hand. The gentleness he showed Mo Yan was magnified many times over into a horrifying demeanor before Shen Jichuan. And Shen Jichuan just looked at him with astonishment and terror.

  Yu Sui then spoke:

  "I am showing you mercy, only because you gave Mo Yan a place. But do not think that I will forgive you. You will have to pay the price."

  Just then, another shadow appeared behind him. Yu Sui knew who it was. Without looking back, he commanded:

  "Wuzu. Check on Mo Yan."

  The woman standing behind him bowed in respect and replied:

  "As you command, my Master."

  Saying this, Wuzu (the terrifying spirit who killed Lao Duan) advanced towards Mo Yan. She reached Mo Yan but did not touch him. She merely assessed Mo Yan's condition with her energy.

  Yu Sui looked at Shen Jichuan one last time. And then, the black powers in the hand with which he had gripped Shen Jichuan's neck intensified. A horrifying black aura emerged from his hand and spread through Shen Jichuan's entire body. In an instant, his entire body turned black, as if he had been burned alive. This was because Yu Sui had burned his soul from within.

  When he released his grip, Shen Jichuan's lifeless body fell to the ground. Yu Sui calmly walked past him.

  But when he reached Mo Yan, he was immediately freed from his black powers once more. He quickly knelt down and gently lifted Mo Yan into his arms and started to leave.

  Before going, he spoke to Wuzu, with his terrifying expression:

  "There is a hunt for you. Finish him quickly."

  Wuzu replied with a crooked smile:

  "Thank you, Master. I will not disappoint you, Master. Grant me permission to leave, my Master."

  Yu Sui nodded in agreement and walked away. He had only gone a short distance when the terrifying screams of Rong Ke Chang echoed from the forest. He was screaming in terror. Hearing his screams, a smile came to Yu Sui's lips, and he leaped, vanishing into the air.
