Ten Thousand Sword Masters

Upon hearing Zhang Jianyun's question, the two servants shook their heads in unison, "No, that eerie wind did not envelop us."

Hearing the servants' answer, Zhang Jianyun was certain that the Soul Eater didn't want everyone's soul. Chen Feifei and the two servants were at the scene of the incident, but their souls weren't taken by the Soul Eater, meaning they weren't targeted by it. So, what qualities did Wei Xinxin and Song Xianliang's souls possess that would make them attractive to the Soul Eater?

While pondering, Zhang Jianyun stared intently at Song Xianliang, trying to discern something.

"Each Soul Eater is interested in a different kind of soul. Your opinion of Song Xianliang is useless. You can't see a soul with the naked eye, and besides, his soul is no longer there," Liu Fei said.

"Did people whose souls were taken by the Soul Eaters in the past always keep playing with their beloved possessions like Wei Xinxin and Song Xianliang?" Zhang Jianyun asked.

Liu Fei shook his head. "Those whose souls were taken away in the past are like dead people, they won't do anything anymore."

After Liu Fei finished speaking, Zhang Jianyun walked up to Song Xianliang and gently took the bamboo flute from Song Xianliang's hand.

Even after the bamboo flute was taken away, Song Xianliang continued to mimic the motion of playing the flute with both hands.

Zhang Jianyun placed the bamboo flute on Song Xianliang's lap, and Song Xianliang naturally reached out and picked up the flute, continuing to play it horizontally.

"Xianliang is still conscious?" Song Fangnian was extremely surprised to see this.

"This was not a conscious act, but rather an instinctive response from his body," Liu Fei said.

Just then, the markings on the backs of Zhang and Liu's hands appeared. Yang Changping sent a message that a third person had lost their soul in Shuixiu Street, and asked the two to rush to the scene immediately.

"Hurry up, the soul should still have some residual information at this time," Liu Fei said anxiously, and hurried away from the Song residence.

The two arrived at Shuixiu Street and saw a group of people surrounding the person who had lost his soul, who was lying on the ground.

Pushing through the crowd, I arrived in front of the person who had lost her soul. She was a middle-aged woman, and her face was twitching uncontrollably.

Liu Fei quickly bent down and squatted down, extending two fingers to press on the middle-aged woman's forehead, while staring intently into her eyes.

Gradually, Liu Fei's forehead began to sweat, his body trembled slightly, and his face turned pale.

Zhang Jianyun was startled by what she saw and quickly slapped Liu Fei on the shoulder. Liu Fei sprang up and hurriedly retreated, closing his eyes tightly and no longer daring to look at the middle-aged woman.

Snapped!

Zhang Jianyun took over Liu Fei's position, placed two fingers on the middle-aged woman's forehead, and stared intently into her eyes with a serious expression.

In an instant, Zhang Jianyun felt as if he had entered a vast, dark world, a world filled with endless killing intent.

At the same time, a tremendous devouring force attacked him, trying to obliterate his soul and annihilate his will.

Ahead, Zhang Jianyun vaguely saw the soul of a middle-aged woman struggling and desperately trying to survive.

boom!

The devouring force instantly enveloped him, and Zhang Jianyun felt his mind tremble, as if he were about to fall into an endless abyss.

Upward, to survive, to fight, to be free.

Countless beliefs rose in his mind, vowing to never surrender!

Boom boom boom!

The devouring force surged towards Zhang Jianyun from all sides, trying to create an opening, tear in, and devour him.

Zhang Jianyun remained unmoved, his will to resist growing stronger as he tried to suppress the devouring force.

At this moment, as if sensing Zhang Jianyun's willpower, the middle-aged woman's soul struggled faster and faster, trying her best to get closer to Zhang Jianyun.

boom!

The devouring force and Zhang Jianyun's willpower clashed like a decisive battle, creating a powerful wave that spread outwards. The wave rushed towards the middle-aged woman, who seized the opportunity, rose with the wave, and instantly broke free from her restraints, suddenly waking up in reality.

boom!

Zhang Jianyun's willpower actively charged towards the devouring force, and after a sudden impact, he broke free from the dark world and regained consciousness in the real world.

Regaining consciousness and feeling the sunlight and fresh air, Zhang Jianyun breathed a sigh of relief after a cold sweat broke out on his back.

That devouring force just now concealed a world-destroying power. If that power were to erupt, I would surely be plunged into that boundless dark world.

"Are you alright?" Liu Fei asked with concern, gently patting Zhang Jianyun's back.

"I'm fine," Zhang Jianyun said softly.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman's noodles stopped twitching, her eyelashes twitched, and her eyes gradually regained their luster.

"It seems this woman escaped by sheer luck. I sensed the aura of the Soul Eater just now; I'll recognize it if I encounter it," Liu Fei said.

"I feel that too. Now all we need to do is conduct door-to-door visits and investigations in the town," Zhang Jianyun said.

Call ~

At this moment, the middle-aged woman regained consciousness, then sat up and grabbed Zhang Jianyun, saying, "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

"You're welcome, it's what we should do," Zhang Jianyun said with a smile.

After calming the middle-aged woman down, Zhang and Liu left the scene of the incident and began to wander around the town.

Every time they encountered a passerby, Zhang and Liu would carefully observe and glean information to see if they were Soul Eaters.

They searched every street and alley in Cangxi Town but did not encounter any Soul Eaters.

"Where is this Soul Eater hiding?" Liu Fei asked speechlessly.

They did not have the authority to search houses, so they could only wander around on the streets.

"Do you really expect the Soul Eater to just walk right into our arms?" Zhang Jianyun joked.

"But if we keep searching like this, when will it ever end?" Liu Fei felt somewhat helpless.

"Let's keep searching. The whole town is so small. I want to see how many Soul Eaters dare to devour souls right under our noses," Zhang Jianyun said.

Just as the two were talking, a sudden gust of cold wind swept in and headed straight for Zhang Jianyun.

call!

In an instant, a cold wind enveloped Zhang Jianyun, and the surroundings darkened.

Zhang Jianyun was furious. How dare this Soul Eater come straight at him!

Enveloped by the eerie wind, Zhang Jianyun felt as if he were about to fall into a dark world again, with the powerful, consuming aura stirring restlessly, waiting for his arrival.

No, we must not enter the dark world at this moment.

Holding his breath, Zhang Jianyun began to fight against the Soul Eater.

This is a clash of souls, a contest of willpower, and a battle of minds.

Whoohoo!

The eerie wind frantically tried to suck Zhang Jianyun's soul out of his body and drag it into the dark world.

Zhang Jianyun was tense, his chest heaving with energy, remaining unmoved despite the howling wind.

Whoosh!

Just then, a thunderclap rang out in the sky, and several dark clouds appeared, churning and rolling, plunging the entire Cangxi Town into darkness.

Whoohoo!

The eerie wind that enveloped Zhang Jianyun grew stronger and stronger, stirring up endless dust that swirled and seemed poised to fly into the sky.

Zhang Jianyun stood against the wind, his body sinking continuously as he opened his horse stance, spreading his hands out to forcefully press down on his lower body.

I like the Ten Thousand Swords Master.
