Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

Chapter 142 The Ten Billion Soul Banner Possessing the Level of a Pseudo-Immortal Treasure!
Duntian's expression suddenly changed, and a hint of coldness appeared in his aged eyes. He then slowly spoke, "Senior Lin Che, aren't you going a bit too far?"

"Our Soul Refining Sect has an ancestral precept: 'As long as the banner stands, so shall we stand.' Senior, are you perhaps asking for this in a fight where our Soul Refining Sect is willing to pay any price?"

Duntian was not afraid of Lin Che in front of him. After all, the power of the Ten Billion Soul Banner was extremely terrifying. If it were used, even Zhu Quezi would be able to fight against it.

Lin Che in front of us is only at the late stage of the Peak Realm. If we really fight, it's hard to say who will win or lose.

Duntian staggered backward, while simultaneously waving his right hand forward. Suddenly, the Ten Billion Soul Banner appeared in the area, along with thirty-five Nascent Soul cultivators who had reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Looking at the Soul Banner in Duntian's hand, Lin Che gently shook his head, slowly stood up and said, "Fellow Daoist, I did not come here to kill anyone. Your Soul Refining Sect cannot keep these ten billion Soul Banners."

"If we don't hand it over, the Soul Refining Sect will probably be completely destroyed here by other powerful figures in the future."

In the original story, Zhu Quezi came to this place to demand the 1 billion Soul Banners in order to fight against the powerful Immortal Remnant Clan. It was at this time that he completely slaughtered the entire Soul Refining Sect.

"Regardless of whether my Soul Refining Sect will face this calamity in the future, I, Duntian, will not give up these ten billion Soul Banners. If you leave, Fellow Daoist, I, Duntian, will certainly not fight to the death."

Seeing that Duntian had made up his mind, Lin Che sighed softly, then waved his right hand forward, summoning his immortal treasure, the Void Sword.

The billion-soul banner before him was at most a pseudo-immortal treasure, but the Void Sword in Lin Che's hand had reached the level of a top-tier immortal treasure. It only needed an opportunity to be upgraded to the level of an empty treasure.

As for his Silver Dragon Demon Spear, it had already reached the high-level Void Treasure level. If he were to actually use the Silver Dragon Demon Spear, he could probably slaughter the entire Soul Refining Sect in an instant.

However, that would likely trigger an investigation by the Cultivation Alliance. Given his current strength, he is no match for the Cultivation Alliance, so if he were targeted, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Since you are so, fellow Daoist, then don't blame me for showing no mercy." Duntian took a deep breath, bit his tongue, spat out a mouthful of blood, sat cross-legged on the ground, formed hand seals, and shouted, "Soul, Escape!"

Duntian is not his real name, but his Daoist name, which was bestowed upon him by his master. The reason it contains the word "Dun" is that each holder of the Ten Billion Soul Banner has their own unique way of using it, and his way is to "Dun"!

All the souls within these soul banners have coalesced, and at this moment, a main soul with a strength reaching the late stage of the Ascendant Realm has actually been formed. Moreover, this main soul is now completely under the command of Duntian.

Lin Che put one hand behind his back, the Kongming Sword in his hand humming, and then said softly, "This soul is indeed powerful, but it is ultimately just a fusion and cannot last long at all."

"Moreover, using this move will shorten your lifespan. Fellow Daoist, why bother?"

Lin Che looked calmly at the Heavenly Dao before him.

The cultivator standing before me, Duntian, is considered quite a good cultivator on Vermilion Bird Star. His own strength has already reached the late stage of Nascent Soul Transformation, and with enough opportunities in the future, breaking through to the Peak stage is more than a matter of course.

Of course, this also requires Zhu Quezi's consent. After all, Pilu Kingdom is already a level 5 cultivation kingdom, and Zhu Quezi certainly cannot allow there to be other level 6 cultivation kingdoms within the territory of Zhu Que Star.

Duntian wiped the sweat from his cheeks and said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Lin Che, I know you are powerful. You once directly repelled four experts from the Vermilion Bird Kingdom at the Ascendant stage. Now your cultivation has reached the late Ascendant stage. I have never been your match, but I cannot give up the Soul Banner. Don't force me to use my fourth soul."

This fourth soul is a rare individual who possesses three of the same attribute, and this person did not demonstrate the strength of that attribute during their lifetime.

Like ordinary people, he died in the late Nascent Soul stage, but after his death, he was refined by the Soul Refining Sect using secret methods, creating an incomparably powerful Four Souls that could threaten cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage!
Lin Che didn't care. After all, in his eyes, no cultivator at the Ascending Peak stage could threaten him, not even the Vermilion Bird, who was at the Great Perfection of the Ascending Peak stage.

However, the fourth soul written on it cannot be mobilized by ordinary means. It requires lifespan as a sacrifice to be offered up from the Soul Banner.

For this reason, Duntian did not want to use it directly. After all, if he did, his lifespan would be taken away, and at that time, he would really have very little left.

Suddenly, a blood-red moon blade shot out from the Void Sword in Lin Che's hand. Wherever the moon blade passed, countless souls in front of him were instantly cut in half, and even the souls that had been condensed earlier dissipated instantly.

However, Lin Che was not in a hurry to kill them. After all, these soul banners were also of great benefit to him. If he killed the main souls inside, then the ten billion soul banners would no longer be able to exert their original power.

Each soul here is a human soul. In other words, these ten billion soul banners contain the souls of ten billion cultivators, who are thus firmly trapped by the banners and have no ability to resist.

Lin Che glanced coldly at Duntian in front of him. "Fellow Daoist, your Soul Banner has no effect on me. For the sake of the Pilu Kingdom, I do not want to kill anyone."

Duntian coughed up blood, staggered back two steps, and said with a livid face, "I never expected... I really never expected your strength to be so terrifying, but... it's impossible for me to hand over ten billion Soul Banners!"

"Fourth soul, emerge!"

Duntian slammed his left hand on his chest, spitting out a mouthful of scorching blood towards the Soul Banner in front of him. At the same time, all the souls in the Soul Refining Sect were attracted to it, and even the Soul Banner in Lin Che's hand trembled.

It seems that this soul banner, catalyzed by the lifespan of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, can attract countless souls to submit to it.

As soon as the fourth soul appeared, it immediately flashed with a dazzling purple-gold light. Within that light, there was only one thing: a needle that looked like a thin thread!
This needle was small, only about the length of a thumb, and it emitted an extremely sharp aura, the intensity of which even surpassed that of the Vermilion Bird Sword.

The Soul of the Three Golds is the hardest thing in the world; it can penetrate all matter, and the soul energy contained within it can even harm the primordial spirit.

Duntian, breathing rapidly and with bloodshot eyes, shouted, "Fourth Soul, kill him!"

"Old man, you're looking for death!"

Hongdie frowned slightly, and was about to make a move when Lin Che pulled her behind him, preventing her from interfering with his battle with Duntian.
