Soul Trigger

Chapter 218 Killing

Inukai Shinga only had time to protect himself with the blade before he was blasted high into the sky by the violent shock wave. The old man's body was almost instantly crushed into slag, and the soul trigger vibrated wildly:

"Uncle Ying?!"

Only then did he notice Ji Li's appearance at the moment, and Soul Trigger kept issuing warnings:
The mycelium armor all over the body was completely opened, and the dark spiritual essence inside was completely transformed into deep scarlet, breathing light among the black bones of the howling evil spirits.

The mycelium core in his chest had been completely released throughout his body, creating a circular black hole. His head was cracked layer by layer, and the madly burning black spiritual fire core could be seen inside.

At this moment, deep in the core of the spiritual fire, there was still a hint of red light burning——

Second-order super-speed splitting, an advanced splitting ability obtained after being promoted to the entire desperate form.

The spiritual essence was consumed in a blowout manner. The spiritual fire core and the mycelium core directly supplied the whole body. The resentful spirit black bones turned into a violent spiritual essence field to interfere with the surroundings. A touch of low temperature spread rapidly in all directions with the appearance of Ji Li:

“This is the first time I’ve entered this state…”

"It's better for us to make a quick decision."

"monster……"

Immediately afterwards, Inukai Shinya only felt a violent vortex of spiritual essence sweeping up in front of him, covering him in it, and a fist with an expanded biological armor burning with red and black flames crushed his head fiercely with a punch -

Bang!
Violent air waves and resentful spirits exploded in the sky. Even the black clouds gathered in the sky dispersed in an instant, and were then replaced by a group of black bones of screaming and wailing resentful spirits.

Inukai Shinga's body smashed vertically into the ground like a cannonball, and the city walls collapsed one section at a time.

At this time, a ninja broke away from the entanglement of the mycelium, silently rushed towards Ji Li with a sword in hand, and the moment he recited the mantra, he was punched by Ji Li in the air and turned into a meat paste.

Another sound of chanting mantras came from the side, and a team of ninjas with new faces rushed in from outside the ruined city wall, each of them with spiritual essence flashing and ready to launch an attack.

Ji Li didn't even look at it. He raised his sharp claws and a column of spiritual fire concentrated to the extreme plowed across vertically. The souls of a group of people evaporated in an instant, leaving behind a ground of broken black ice.

Inukai Shio, who had finally managed to escape from the cold and the mycelium not far away, saw this scene and instantly his eyes were about to burst out:
"Asshole! Stop it!!!"

But the moment Ji Li turned his head, the cracked skull stared at him like an abyss.

He only felt that his whole body was locked by a will, and the trigger of his soul was shaking wildly, constantly warning the host -

He will definitely die!

It wasn't until a ninja slammed him away and burned him into ice on the ground instead of being burned by the spiritual fire that he woke up from his dream, and his soul was filled with fear:

"…The situation has gotten out of control. Where is the young master?! Where is Lord Arakawa?!"

"unnecessary!!!"

A loud shout shook the sky, and as the lightning and dark clouds gathered again, Inukai Shinya's body turned into a bolt of lightning and shot towards Ji Li who was slaughtering the ninjas:

"His aura isn't even that of a peak master!! I can handle it!!!"

Ji Li casually beat a ninja into a waterfall of blood, turned around and raised his hand, his sharp claws collided with the blade that was flashing with lightning.

Instantly, two spiritual energy waves, one blue and one black, exploded in the sky, and finally collapsed into a spiritual energy tide that scattered in all directions.

Countless ruins continued to rot, and countless ninjas were blown away.

Inukai Shinga retreated wildly, biting his tooth crown fiercely:

What the hell is this guy?!
The spirit essence that is full of evil and strangeness, which is not as high as the spirit essence fluctuation of the peak master, but has a spirit essence level comparable to that of the peak master and such a terrifying undead body...

The scene of the surroundings constantly receding came into view. He saw the countless ruins of the city tower shattering again and again, and gritted his teeth:
Uncle Ying is already dead, we can’t let this guy continue to destroy things…

His body split into three in the air and fled towards the dark clouds in the sky, but he never expected that the jumping figure chasing him also split into three and chased after him.

Seeing the devil-like figure approaching, Inukai Shinga could no longer hold back. He twisted the hilt of the knife fiercely, uttered a maxim, and most of the spiritual essence in his body evaporated immediately:
"countercurrent--"

The violent water whirlpool instantly crushed Ji Li's two nightmare fission clones. He only felt that his body was stuck like glue and was trapped in a gradually rising water tornado.

After struggling for a while and finding no leverage, he simply opened his mouth wide and spewed out a torrent of pitch-black lasers, which hit him hard.

As the dark pillar of pure spiritual fire bombarded the vortex, Inukai Shinya, who had already escaped into the dark clouds, suddenly spat out large mouthfuls of blood, which he wiped away with one hand.

Looking at the figure below that was spewing spiritual fire towards him but was blocked by the vortex, he endured the severe pain deep in his soul, raised the lightning blade in his hand, and spiritual essence gathered in his eyes:

"Countercurrent Lei Luo!"

Dark clouds gathered violently, and the lightning blade in his hand slowly expanded to its extreme, turning into thunder that cut through the sky and struck Ji Li fiercely -

"That's it!!! Get down!!!"

The vortex cloud suddenly disappeared, and a huge lightning bolt completely hit Ji Li's position, leaving a charred ground.

Then, the collapsed and gathered lightning spirit turned into an extreme lightning pillar that shot up into the sky, accompanied by a deafening explosion. The violent electric current blasted a circular minefield on the ground, crackling!

A pitch-black ravine spanned a corner of Inuzuka Castle, and Ji Li's figure had completely disappeared, as if it had evaporated in an instant.

"Little Lord?!"

As Inukai Shixiong's voice came, Inukai Shinya slowly fell to the ground with the support of Yunyu, and suddenly half-knelt down, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood:

"Did it?"

Inukai Shio, who came closer, hadn't said anything yet, but his expression changed drastically -

"of course not."

The light sound shook the air around Inukai Shinga's ears, and the next moment he felt a huge force coming from the back of his head, and his face had sunk into the ground -

boom! ! ! !

The moment the giant pit exploded, thousands of hyphae burst out from the spiritual essence and spread, knocking away all the ninjas who were gathering around it.

Inukai Shinga only felt that his head shattered in an instant.

The undead body on his head suddenly exploded into spiritual light spots all over the sky, revealing a bloody face underneath. His eyes were filled with determination and hatred, and he tried hard to glare at Ji Li behind him.

At this moment, Ji Li was still in a state of super-speed fission, but one of his arms was covered with charred marks, and all the mycelium on it had died.

"As expected of a peak master, it really hurts..."

"You monster... You won't be able to leave this hell gate today! Arakawa has been watching this place the whole time! You will be buried with Uncle Ying soon!"

Ji Li turned a deaf ear and put his head close to the other person's ear:

"black goat."

"?" A hint of surprise and doubt flashed across Inukai Shinya's hateful eyes. He didn't understand what the other party meant by suddenly calling out his name at this time, so he continued to struggle, trying to break free from Ji Li's control.

But the next moment, surging fear filled Inukai Shinga's mind -

"After your head is shattered into pieces... chew on this name to your heart's content."

"No, wait, I—"

The violent spiritual essence was transmitted from his head all the way, exploding with a loud bang——

"you dare!!!"

A roar came down from the sky like a heavy hammer. Ji Li only felt a violent force crushing him madly, and the trigger of his soul issued a trembling warning -

Immortal?!

Ji Li raised his head with difficulty and saw a large deep yellow eye hovering high in the sky, reflecting him and the boy from the Black Sun Mansion in it.

The surrounding ninjas immediately put away their swords, clasped their hands together and bowed:
"Lord Arakawa..."

Inukai Shinya's eyes burst into ecstasy:
"Monster, you are at the end of your rope!!!"

Ji Li moved his hand, and Inukai Shinya let out a scream instantly.

"I said, stop..." "I won't."

Ji Li directly lifted Inukai Shinga in his hand despite the violent spiritual essence:
"This thing belongs to the young master, right? It would be a pity if it exploded with me. Or are you willing to let it go?"

Black flames burned, hyphae tangled, and Inukai Shinga let out a heart-wrenching scream:

"Lord Arakawa! Save me!!!"

"Arakawa" remained silent, as if sizing up Ji Li, and said after a moment:
"Spirit of a stranger, you broke into the gates of hell, smashed my Inuzuka Castle, killed my Hellhound clan members, and caused a big commotion. Now you're holding the young master of the Inukai clan hostage..."

"Do you think I'll let you go just like that?"

"Don't you make me feel weird now?" Ji Li chuckled.
"But I also said that this was an accident and a misunderstanding, but your great 'young master' and the old man who just casually crushed him to death don't want to listen or believe it. What do you think I should do in this situation?"

The big eyes moved:
"That makes some sense, but this is the gate of hell."

"So, you can do whatever you want?"

"Let go now and tell me the secret between you and the Gate of Flesh and Blood. I can make the decision and leave you a successor."

"Leave behind?"

"Let him go, and then you have ten minutes to tell us your secret, and we will prepare a woman for you and give you three hours to give birth to your offspring."

"And then I can die?"

"As the first person who dares to invade my Hell Gate in decades, we will prepare a grand funeral for you..."

"That's a loud fart."

The spiritual essence exploded, Inukai Shinya screamed suddenly, and was instantly shaken into pieces of flesh and bones.

Everyone around was in shock.

Neither these ninjas, Inukai Shinga, nor even the master named "Arakawa" could have imagined that Ji Li would turn against them in an instant.

"You bastard!" Arakawa roared.

Under the instantaneous burst of spiritual essence from the yellow light, Ji Li directly sacrificed 100% of his spiritual essence limit——

Soul Mach!

In an instant, the world seemed to be in a standstill. He stretched out his claws and picked up something from the body of Inukai Shinya. Then a big pit exploded under his feet and his body rushed out of Inuzuka Castle like a cannonball.

But in that infinitely still world, the yellow eyes suddenly turned and focused on Ji Li.

He only felt a sudden vibration in the well of his soul, and an intense pain came from the depths of his soul.

At the same time, a powerful spiritual energy suddenly erupted with Inuzuka Castle as the center. Layers of spiritual energy circuits appeared out of thin air in front of Ji Li's escape, instantly sealing off the entire Inuzuka Castle!

An inexplicable force was pressing down on him, and he was being forced to exit the evil spirit transformation!

In a nearly static world, he must make a decision as quickly as possible.

Ji Li's gaze swept across the big yellow eyes that were filled with strong oppression, and the panel of the Ascension Protocol appeared in his retina, and the overclocking intensified.

Immortals...

He made up his mind instantly and quickly selected several spiritual circuits to complete the sacrifice.

[Light body][Short feather fall][Air acceleration].

The moment the sacrifice was completed, a series of mechanical structures grew wildly behind him, transforming into a huge thruster that exploded with meteor-like fireworks and pushed his body fiercely into Inuzuka Castle!

He pushed forward all the way, penetrating countless walls, and suddenly felt his body lighten as he drilled into something, and his body suddenly rolled to the ground.

The constant pressure behind him suddenly disappeared.

……

In the eyes of others, they only saw Ji Li disappear from the spot, and then was blocked by the suddenly opened Inuzuka City formation, and then disappeared into the depths of Inuzuka City like a meteor.

Leaving behind Inukai Shinga, who had exploded into a pile of skeletons and debris.

silence.

Then an angry roar resounded through the sky, and the entire Inuzuka Castle shook violently.

The violent spiritual pressure knocked everyone to the ground, and the yellow eyes in the sky almost instantly shattered into large cracks due to intense anger.

After the roar continued for a while, a yellow light fell from the sky and exploded into a figure wearing a white kimono.

He was a middle-aged man with graying hair parted in the middle.

He glanced at everyone present with an expressionless face.

"Lord Arakawa..."

Inukai Shio suddenly came to his senses and looked at the ninjas beside him: "Hurry..."

"No need to chase."

Compared to his previous fury, Arakawa seemed particularly calm at this moment. He casually drew out the long sword from his waist and slashed directly at Inukai Shinga, who seemed to be dead on the ground. A bright yellow light wave enveloped him:

"My spiritual essence has been embedded deep in his soul, and he seems to have entered some place he shouldn't be..."

He stared at the big hole that Ji Li had broken into the city wall, and sensed the situation in the city just now, but his face remained expressionless:
"The 4th Division over there is chasing him. Regardless of whether there is any result or not, he is dead."

"Yes..." Inukai Shio suddenly lowered his head.

At this moment, Arakawa let out a light exclamation, rushed forward, and his expression suddenly changed -

"Damn it... He took away Shen Ya's 'Self Sword'..."

Inukai Shixiong said cautiously: "Young Master..."

"Still alive."

The ninja leader breathed a sigh of relief:
"That's good……"

“But it’s gone.”

"?! I can't even save you..."

"I told you, his 'self-sword' was taken away. The guy who came out of the flesh and blood gate... is indeed a freak."

That kind of extremely weird speed would probably make people laugh if they told it to others——

As an Immortal, he actually let a thing that was not even a peak master kill people right under his nose...

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he became furious and rubbed his finger on the blade of his unsheathed sword, and a piece of his finger fell off.

Inukai Shio who was standing next to him was startled:
"What are you..."

"I will cut off all responsibility for my dereliction of duty. No matter what happens on the master's side, you must give an explanation to the elders."

He sighed softly:
"But it's okay. That freak has now found a place where it shouldn't be. Even if it's dead, it's still making use of its remaining energy..."

"You mean... the forbidden area?"

"I hope that 'Huo Jin Zhu' will like the food this time, so that she won't cause any trouble again."

Then he looked at Inukai Shinga's "corpse" on the ground:
"But the price... is a bit too high."

He hesitated for a moment and gave the order:
"Let Inukai Jōichi come back. He should know what has happened to his brother."

"When the monster is almost eaten by the 'Evil Master', throw the corpse to him to vent his anger."
