363: Kill the Soul Eater

“What a pleasant surprise! I actually attracted such a large group of Soul-Devouring Demons.”

By then, Qin Shilei had verified that the Soul-Devouring Demons’ soul attacks no longer affected him while he wore the mystic jade pendant. He was no longer hesitant about the two Golden Soul-Devouring Demons that had suddenly appeared.

However, there was no need to revert to his original form yet. With a thought, he flew down to the dense forest below and hid.

He absolutely could not let any of the Soul-Devouring Demons here escape.

At this moment, the Soul-Devouring Demon on the ground was already on its last breath from the heavenly lightning, ready to split into several clones to escape at any moment.

It looked up and saw that its reinforcements had arrived, so it gave up on such a vitality-damaging move.

Qin Shilei also controlled the phantom to throw another Thunder Dragon at this Soul-Devouring Demon, then casually picked a direction and charged towards the surrounding Soul-Devouring Demons.

Devouring Thunder!

Countless Soul-Devouring Demons were incinerated into thin air by the heavenly lightning, leaving behind only qingtong treasure chests.

“Ah!”

The two Golden Soul-Devouring Demons, leading many Silver Soul-Devouring Demons, let out sharp howls together.

A visible ripple of energy violently slammed into the phantom.

“This thing is immune to our soul attacks! Quickly use Soul Fire.”

The extremely weak Soul-Devouring Demon 006 flew up from the ground and loudly reminded its companions.

Upon hearing this, countless fist-sized fireballs flew out from the bodies of those Soul-Devouring Demons, then rapidly drifted towards the phantom.

Only two of these fireballs were deep purple; the rest were blue with a hint of purple.

The two deep purple Soul Fires could easily pass through the bombardment of Devouring Thunder, while the other fireballs rapidly shrank under the heavenly lightning’s onslaught.

By the time those fireballs flew within ten meters of the phantom, they had already shrunk by more than half.

Teleport!

Qin Shilei controlled the phantom to teleport away from the encirclement of numerous Soul Fires, appearing in the middle of another group of Soul-Devouring Demons.

Another blast of Devouring Thunder struck down.

Accompanying countless agonizing screams, numerous treasure chests clattered to the ground.

Like this, in less than three minutes, Qin Shilei had already annihilated two to three thousand Soul-Devouring Demons.

“007, 005, let’s quickly merge! Otherwise, if this continues, all of us will die.”

Soul-Devouring Demon 006 suggested loudly.

Merge?

Damn it, do these Soul-Devouring Demons have some ultimate move?

Qin Shilei, hidden in the shadows, suddenly had a bad feeling.

He saw Soul-Devouring Demons 005 and 007, the two Golden Soul-Devouring Demons, first quickly approach each other, merging naturally like two cups of water, forming a new Soul-Devouring Demon.

At the same time, a more powerful aura emanated from the newly merged Soul-Devouring Demon.

Then, countless ordinary Soul-Devouring Demons rapidly flew towards this newly merged Soul-Devouring Demon.

As more and more Soul-Devouring Demons merged, the aura of this Soul-Devouring Demon grew stronger and stronger.

Of course, Qin Shilei wouldn't foolishly wait for the opponent to complete its merger.

He controlled the phantom to activate the Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth and One-Punch Man entries.

Then he raised his hand to summon one Devouring Thunder after another, blasting them at the merging Soul-Devouring Demon as if they were free.

“You hateful bastard, I will definitely extract your soul and torment it for a thousand years!”

The Soul-Devouring Demon cursed angrily.

It dodged the Devouring Thunder’s attacks while trying to merge with more clones.

“Old Five, Old Seven, and me! Come and merge with me quickly!”

Seeing bolts of heavenly lightning continuously descend from the sky, Soul-Devouring Demon 006 shouted in alarm.

However, just as its words fell, the heavenly lightning suddenly vanished completely.

The phantom that had been wreaking havoc disappeared into thin air like a bubble.

After continuously unleashing high-consumption ultimate techniques like Devouring Thunder and Thunder Dragon, the energy within the phantom was finally depleted, causing it to vanish into thin air.

The remaining Soul-Devouring Demons looked at each other in confusion.

“Why did the lightning stop?”

“Where’s that hateful enemy from before?”

“Should we still merge now?”

“Heh heh, 006, don’t run! Come and merge with your brothers.”

“Merge my ass! It’s much more enjoyable to be free and separate.”

The merged Soul-Devouring Demon chased Soul-Devouring Demon 006, intent on merging the other into its body.

As the two Soul-Devouring Demons chased each other, they suddenly saw a strong flash of light before their eyes.

“Damn it, the heavenly lightning is back!”

“Didn’t that guy just disappear? Why did he appear again?”

“Quick, merge!”

The phantom, summoned again, unleashed another round of powerful bombardment.

Eventually, the three Golden Soul-Devouring Demons still merged, and also absorbed hundreds of Silver Soul-Devouring Demons.

As for the remaining Silver Soul-Devouring Demons, Qin Shilei controlled the phantom to blast them all into dust.

The merged Soul-Devouring Demon’s cultivation also rose to the peak of Golden Nine Star.

It raised its hand and unleashed a head-sized purple fireball.

This fireball shot towards the phantom like lightning.

The phantom teleported to the other side of the Soul-Devouring Demon, and also raised its hand to summon two Thunder Dragons to blast the opponent.

The Soul-Devouring Demon opened its mouth and spewed out a cloud of gray mist, meeting the Thunder Dragons.

Boom!

The Thunder Dragons collided with the light, airy gray mist, but it was like hitting a mountain, producing a loud bang.

With this loud bang, both sides continuously wore each other down.

On the other side, the Soul Fires quickly flew over again.

As they flew, they continuously split.

Soon, they turned into hundreds of Soul Fires.

Although each Soul Fire was only egg-sized, their speed did not decrease at all, and they looked imposing.

Hundreds of Soul Fires surrounded the phantom in an encirclement.

Teleport!

The phantom easily avoided the Soul Fires’ encirclement.

“Damn it, this guy actually possesses a heaven-defying ultimate technique like Teleportation, and he’s so careful, not letting the Soul Fire get close at all.”

The Soul-Devouring Demon cursed in a low voice.

With a thought, it made the Soul Fires split again, turning into hundreds of pigeon egg-sized ones, scattered within several hundred meters.

The phantom dodged the Soul Fires while sending out Thunder Dragons to blast the opponent.

Both sides’ energy was continuously being consumed.

“I have countless clones; you definitely can’t outlast me. Quickly surrender.”

The Soul-Devouring Demon tried to psychologically attack Qin Shilei.

However, what greeted it were two even more powerful Thunder Dragons.

Ultimately, the Soul-Devouring Demon had more energy, and the phantom was the first to disappear into thin air.

“This guy has no soul characteristics at all. He’s probably a puppet summoned by someone.”

The Soul-Devouring Demon looked around with a look of doubt and uncertainty, trying to find the summoner behind the scenes.

It searched carefully nearby and soon discovered Qin Shilei hidden in the shadows.

“Hey, what’s your number? Why didn’t you merge with me just now?”

“I’m 9527. I couldn’t merge with you because I was dodging the heavenly lightning.”

The Soul-Devouring Demon looked at Qin Shilei suspiciously but couldn’t find any suspicious points.

“Let’s search separately. If you find any living beings, immediately give a loud warning.”

After saying that, the Soul-Devouring Demon turned around and continued searching for a possible summoner nearby.

More than ten minutes later.

Qin Shilei’s mouth curved slightly, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned the phantom again.

A brand new phantom, a half-crippled Soul-Devouring Demon—the outcome was predictable.

Soon, this Soul-Devouring Demon was heavily wounded.

The Soul-Devouring Demon suddenly erupted with a large burst of gray gas, pushing away the Thunder Dragons around it, then split into eight, fleeing rapidly in all directions.

“I’ve been expecting that move.”

Qin Shilei immediately teleported over, unleashing bolts of shocking lightning, annihilating four of the opponent’s clones in the blink of an eye.

One of his purposes for not revealing himself was precisely to encircle and prevent the opponent from escaping by transforming into clones.

At the same time, the phantom also rapidly annihilated three of the opponent’s clones.

Qin Shilei and the phantom once again used Thunder Escape to chase the last remaining clone.

Although the Soul-Devouring Demon’s life-saving ultimate technique was astonishingly fast, it was still slightly insufficient against the faster Thunder Escape.

It was quickly intercepted.
