Wu Ying was divining for himself in the forest, while the sixth-grade evil spirit flew out from Wu Ying's body to protect him.
"No, impossible... how could it turn out like this?"
After a while, Wu Ying's eyes snapped open, his body trembling slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"What did you divine?"
Seeing Wu Ying's current state, the sixth-grade evil spirit's heart skipped a beat, and it quickly asked.
Wu Ying swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "There are only four words..."
"What are they, say it!"
The sixth-grade evil spirit was getting impatient and urged him anxiously.
"Why don't you two obediently take me to find your master? Must you be so cautious?"
At this moment, Ye Ling slowly descended from the sky, looking at Wu Ying and the sixth-grade evil spirit with a playful glint in his eyes.
"It's you?"
Seeing Ye Ling appear, the sixth-grade evil spirit erupted with an extremely cold aura, and the surrounding forest withered at a visible rate.
"When did you... when did you follow us?"
Unlike the sixth-grade evil spirit, which was preparing for battle, Wu Ying's eyes were filled with fear, and he had no will to fight!
The sixth-grade evil spirit didn't know that Wu Ying had just divined for himself and it, and the answer was only four words...
Certain death!
He couldn't even imagine what kind of opponent he would encounter to get such a deathly hex!
Ye Ling looked at the terrified Wu Ying and shook his head with a smile, "It seems you divined for yourself just now. How did it go?"
"Wu Ying, what are you afraid of?" The sixth-grade evil spirit also noticed Wu Ying's state and quickly asked.
It had been cooperating with Wu Ying for quite some time. Diviners were naturally adept at avoiding misfortune and seeking good fortune. As long as a diviner participated in a battle, if the strength of both sides was similar, the rhythm of the battle would be controlled by the diviner.
Therefore, the sixth-grade evil spirit had always followed Wu Ying's commands in every battle.
Moreover, after Wu Ying killed Zhuge Yexun and obtained the Qimen techniques of the Wuhou school, his strength had improved even further, making it trust Wu Ying even more.
But now, Wu Ying showed no will to fight at all, which was like a warrior losing its brain to the sixth-grade evil spirit.
The situation had become extremely grim.
"Escape!!!"
Wu Ying didn't give the sixth-grade evil spirit a chance to explain. He turned and ran, using all his strength!
"What are you doing?"
Seeing Wu Ying suddenly flee, the sixth-grade evil spirit looked back at the smiling Ye Ling, still a bit stunned.
With no time to think, the sixth-grade evil spirit made a swift decision, re-possessing Wu Ying and accelerating him.
Although it didn't believe that it and Wu Ying combined couldn't defeat Ye Ling, it ultimately chose to trust Wu Ying.
Wu Ying was a diviner, and divination was a glimpse into the future of the Heavenly Dao.
Since Wu Ying chose to do so, it meant that Wu Ying had seen something unfavorable to them in the divination!
Fleeing was the best strategy!
"You guy, what exactly did you divine?" The sixth-grade evil spirit, possessing Wu Ying, was also somewhat flustered by Wu Ying's actions and asked hurriedly.
Wu Ying gritted his teeth and said, "Only four words... certain death!"
"Certain death? Are you kidding me?"
The sixth-grade evil spirit was dumbfounded, its tone changing, its voice rising significantly.
"I wish it were a joke!"
"I've never divined anything like this. Even when dealing with that kid from the Zhuge family, the fierce hex I divined allowed me to see a glimmer of hope."
"But this time, there is only endless despair!"
The more Wu Ying thought about it, the more frightened he became. He fled into the depths of the forest, his breathing becoming heavy.
But at that moment, he suddenly found Ye Ling appearing in front of him again!
Ye Ling narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Stop struggling, you can't escape."
"Damn it!"
Seeing Ye Ling blocking his path, Wu Ying did not hesitate. He quickly took out a black Bagua disk, "Wuhou Bagua, Four Plates Return to Origin!"
"Zhen position · Thunder Step!"
Wu Ying activated Qimen, thunder surged beneath his feet, and his speed increased tenfold, attempting to force his way past Ye Ling!
But as Wu Ying passed by Ye Ling, he noticed Ye Ling's lips curve slightly, his eyes filled with amusement!
"Although Qimen techniques are profound, your cultivation is too low. No matter how much your speed is amplified, it's still as slow as a snail."
Ye Ling's voice echoed in Wu Ying's mind, causing his pupils to contract sharply!
As slow as a snail?
My speed has surpassed the speed of sound right now. Are there such fast snails in this world?
Wu Ying's mind raced, but before he could react, Ye Ling easily grabbed him by the head.
Then, Ye Ling forcefully slammed him to the ground!
Bang!
The ground cracked, forming a large pit. Wu Ying spat out a mouthful of blood, his head reeling, and the sixth-grade evil spirit was directly shaken out!
"You monster!"
Seeing Ye Ling easily capture the supersonic Wu Ying, the sixth-grade evil spirit also showed a look of horror. At this moment, it no longer cared about the fallen Wu Ying and slipped into the ground, attempting to escape.
"You can't escape."
Ye Ling chuckled, stomped lightly on the ground with one foot, and the ground a hundred meters ahead of him cracked open, shaking out the sixth-grade evil spirit.
"Come here."
Ye Ling beckoned, and the sixth-grade evil spirit was directly sucked into his hand, with no power to resist.
"Who exactly are you?"
Feeling Ye Ling's overwhelming power, the sixth-grade evil spirit's face contorted in terror as it asked.
"That's for you to ponder slowly."
Ye Ling gripped the sixth-grade evil spirit's neck, and demonic energy surged from his palm, invading its mind, attempting a soul search.
"Ahhhh!"
The sixth-grade evil spirit let out a piercing scream. Wu Ying, lying in the pit, regained some consciousness. Seeing that Ye Ling wasn't paying attention to him, he endured the intense pain and secretly reached for his pocket.
But as soon as he moved his finger, his entire arm was ruthlessly crushed by Ye Ling!
"Hiss—!"
Wu Ying gasped in pain, his face contorted.
He looked at his bloody arm, his eyes filled with endless despair.
Ye Ling gave him no chance at all!
Just as the divination predicted...
They were certain to die!
Seeing no hope, Wu Ying slowly accepted this predetermined fate. Watching his companion being soul-searched by Ye Ling, his eyes glazed over, "It was all... in vain."
Wu Ying let out a light laugh and completely fainted.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Ye Ling, halfway through soul-searching the sixth-grade evil spirit, discovered that a mark had been planted deep within Wu Ying's soul.
As long as an external force touched that mark, it would cause Wu Ying's memories to completely shatter along with the mark.
"The person behind this actually possesses such advanced anti-soul-search techniques?"
Seeing the mark, Ye Ling's eyes flashed with surprise. He immediately interrupted the soul search, released the sixth-grade evil spirit, and used demonic energy to invade Wu Ying's mind.
As expected!
Just like the sixth-grade evil spirit, Wu Ying also had an anti-soul-search mark deep within his soul, locking away Wu Ying's core memories and preventing Ye Ling from probing them.
Throwing Wu Ying to the ground, Ye Ling looked at the dying man and ghost, his brow furrowed.
"I might have been a bit too heavy-handed. This is going to be troublesome..."
