121 Time Is Running Out (1)
As the half-formed evil spirit rushed towards Xiao Shi, its hands quickly expanded and turned into huge black claws, tearing the air apart and bombarding Xiao Shi.
However, the entire black claw passed through Xiao Shi’s body. What hit was only Xiao Shi’s shadow moving at high speed.
Xiao Shi had already flashed past the half-formed evil spirit and appeared behind it. At the same time, a dark black saber beam slashed fiercely at the chest of the half-formed evil spirit the moment Xiao Shi flashed past it.
But there was a sound of metal colliding.
Sparks flew.
His slash failed to break through the half-formed evil spirit’s body and only left a white mark.
“So hard!” Xiao Shi felt as if he had cut into some hard metal. The evil spirit’s body was very sturdy. Moreover, it seemed to have a certain resistance to Qi Force. As a result, Xiao Shi’s slash did not cause any substantial damage.
Xiao Shi simply put away the Qi Slashing Saber. He stomped on the ground ferociously, as if he had transformed into a ferocious bull. As he howled, the surrounding airflow exploded violently and collided with the half-formed evil spirit at an extremely shocking speed.
It was the Body Tempering technique, Barbaric Bull Bash!
The air exploded. A low, sharp whistle echoed continuously.
This was the first time Xiao Shi had used this Body Tempering technique. The power of this Body Tempering technique mainly depended on the strength of the body. The stronger one’s body was, the more shocking its power would be.
With Xiao Shi’s current powerful body and the terrifying speed after cultivating the Vajra Tendon, the Barbaric Bull Bash he used had already reached an extremely terrifying level in terms of power.
Before the half-formed evil spirit could turn around, Xiao Shi had already bumped into it from behind.
Crack!
The body of this half-formed evil spirit was instantly like porcelain that was covered in cracks. Under Xiao Shi’s collision, it exploded into countless pieces with a bang, scattering in all directions.
Xiao Shi was not surprised by this outcome. Now that he had cultivated the Vajra Tendon, his physical strength was far stronger than his Qi Force. It could be said that his physical strength was his greatest strength at the moment. Moreover, evil spirits had a certain resistance to Qi Force.
Using physical strength to kill was clearly the fastest and most effective method.
At the same time as the evil spirit died, a ball of black gas suddenly floated out of the many fragments after the evil spirit died. This ball of black gas was not a wandering soul. However, there was a certain similarity with wandering souls.
As soon as it appeared, it surrounded Xiao Shi.
“This is…” Xiao Shi stared at the black aura thoughtfully. He had thought about it before. If he killed the evil spirit, would wandering souls appear as well? He knew that evil spirits were usually formed from corpse souls, and wandering souls were also a type of transformation from corpse souls.
To a certain extent, there were differences between wandering souls and evil spirits, but they could still be barely classified as one. It was not impossible to turn an evil spirit into a wandering soul after killing it. But now, after the evil spirit died, it formed a ball of black gas.
This was a little beyond Xiao Shi’s expectations.
“Unless this evil spirit… isn’t formed from corpse souls!” Xiao Shi’s eyes flashed.
He had noticed it just now. There was no Evil-making Nail on this evil spirit. One had to know that the evil spirits they killed around Golden Cloud City back then were all made of Evil-making Nails.
However, the evil spirits that appeared this time did not have the Evil-making Nail on them. It was obvious that they were not created by the Evil-making Nail. After all, using the Evil-making Nail to create evil spirits required many corpses.
Under the circumstances that most of the martial artists in the Seven Star Province had entered the Seven Star Holy Land, the evil cult could not obtain so many corpses.
Therefore, they used a different method to create evil spirits.
Xiao Shi realized from the black aura that had appeared now. It was very likely to be the key to another evil spirit creation by the cult. After a short moment of thought, Xiao Shi tried to absorb this black aura through the bracelet.
The vortex emitted by the bracelet sucked the black gas in. It was just like gathering wandering souls into the bracelet. After absorbing this black aura, the Battle Soul in the bracelet clearly showed a slight increase.
“It’s working!” Xiao Shi’s eyes lit up. Although he did not know what this ball of black gas was, the effect of accumulating it in the bracelet was the same as a wandering soul. They could all improve the Battle Soul in the bracelet.
This made him very happy.
Then, he turned his gaze to the item that dropped after the evil spirit died. He picked it up. It was a heavenly treasure. Heavenly treasures were medial-class items among Martial Entry-Level items. Usually, only by killing mid-stage and late-stage Qi Martial Realm martial artists would it be easier to drop medial-class Qi Martial-level items.
But the evil spirit that Xiao Shi had killed now was an evil spirit comparable to the early-stage Qi Martial realm.
“Could it be that the items dropped from killing evil spirits are one level higher than the items dropped from killing martial artists?” Xiao Shi could not help but have a guess.
When he killed evil spirits in the Martial Entry-Level, he discovered that evil spirits easily dropped high-quality items. Now, he had only killed a seven-mark evil spirit comparable to the early-stage Qi Martial realm, but it had actually dropped a medial-class heavenly treasure.
