Chapter 15 A Treasure Sword Rewards Its True Friend

Everything before their eyes was beyond everyone's expectations.

Liu Lu's arm muscles bulged, but no matter how much force he exerted, he couldn't advance an inch.

The Yin spirit, which he had just been beating soundly, was now effortlessly deflecting his full-power attack.

Even the Yin spirit herself hadn't expected Li Yunshu to be able to make the Soul Banner unleash such immense power.

It instantly restored her spiritual body, and her power approached the Nascent Soul Realm.

All of this came from the power of the Soul Banner.

Bai Lang, standing by, was even more astonished; he suspected Li Yunshu was hiding his cultivation.

The power amplification the Soul Banner provided to the Yin spirit was definitely not something a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator could achieve.

Li Yunshu blinked; in fact, he was more surprised than anyone.

He had followed Master in the Daoist temple, and his cultivation had always been stuck at the Qi Refinement Stage.

During this time, he had never paid attention to his Divine Sense.

It wasn't until the Empress's probing that he guessed his Divine Sense might be different from ordinary people.

But he never expected the difference to be so vast.

The Yin spirit gripped the blade with two fingers, rotating her arms, and a powerful force traveled through the long blade to Liu Lu's sword-wielding hand.

Without giving him a chance to react, the Yin spirit immediately stepped forward with a low sweep kick.

Losing his balance, Liu Lu was directly thrown into the air.

The Yin spirit delivered a high kick and then stomped down hard, heavily stepping on Liu Lu's abdomen.

Boom!

Liu Lu landed, his corpulent body creating a huge, deep pit in the ground.

After landing, Liu Lu shook his head, but the alluring whispers in his ears could not be dispelled.

The Yin spirit reached out and grabbed, and the long blade on the ground flew into her hand.

"You enjoyed hitting me just now, didn't you?"

She walked up to Liu Lu, leaned back slightly, and then plunged the blade into his palm.

His thick palm was pierced by the blade, which then embedded itself in the earth, leaving only the hilt exposed.

Ah!

The intense pain briefly sobered Liu Lu.

With his other hand, he condensed spiritual power and heavily slapped towards the Yin spirit.

The Yin spirit stepped back and dodged, then turned and moved sideways, easily evading the powerful blow.

When the attack failed, Liu Lu swept his arm across, and the immense impact snapped all the trees within several meters at their waists.

The Yin spirit leaped into the air, again dodging the attack, and landed lightly.

She slid her foot back half a step, forming a bow stance to gather strength.

A high roundhouse kick to the head directly knocked out most of Liu Lu's teeth.

Because the long blade had pinned Liu Lu's palm to the ground, his body spun once and then heavily slammed down in front of the Yin spirit.

A snapping kick, a straight kick, and a sky-high split sent Liu Lu flying into the air.

As blood splattered in the air, Liu Lu was beheaded by a single stroke.

His fat, big-eared head rolled to the ground, his eyes still wide open in death.

Li Yunshu, holding the Soul Banner, stared dumbfounded at the head that rolled to his feet.

This Yin spirit was terrifying when she went berserk; she had just been beaten by Liu Lu without any power to retaliate, and now she was returning it twofold.

Li Yunshu hadn't yet recovered when the Yin spirit had already walked to his side.

Her jade hand rested on his shoulder, and her voice was soft and seductive.

"You are amazing."

Cough, cough.

Bai Lang, standing by, cleared his throat, always feeling that the Yin spirit was being sarcastic towards him.

However, Li Yunshu's attention was all on Liu Lu; he always felt a sense of unease in his heart.

Just then, a spiritual body slowly condensed beside Liu Lu's corpse.

Li Yunshu's body suddenly tensed; Liu Lu's soul had turned into a Yin spirit.

With his head cut off and dying violently in this forest, Liu Lu's resentment was bound to be extremely heavy.

Bai Lang immediately spoke up.

"Use the Soul Banner to collect him!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunshu also reacted, his Divine Sense pouring into the Soul Banner, and a black mist surged out again.

However, Liu Lu's soul showed no reaction.

Li Yunshu quickly realized that subduing a Yin spirit wasn't as simple as just activating it with Divine Sense.

Just then, Bai Lang snatched the Soul Banner, formed hand seals, and a vortex appeared on the Soul Banner.

Liu Lu sensed the danger and turned to flee.

However, the Soul Banner specifically countered Yin spirits, and the vortex unleashed a powerful suction.

In just a breath's time, it directly sucked in the condensed Yin spirit of Liu Lu.

After collecting Liu Lu into the Soul Banner, Bai Lang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Once inside the Soul Banner, the Yin spirit would be branded.

Even with immense resentment, it could not threaten the owner of the Soul Banner.

Li Yunshu put on a bewildered expression to cover up the fact that he didn't know how to use the Soul Banner.

Bai Lang glanced at Li Yunshu, not paying too much attention to what had just happened.

He simply assumed that Li Yunshu had forgotten how to activate the Soul Banner due to fear.

With matters settled, Bai Lang began to collect the spoils of war.

Except for Li Yunshu, he had thoroughly searched the other six members of the Town Demon Division.

He took off the Cosmos Sack from Liu Lu's waist and threw it directly to Li Yunshu.

"Without you, I couldn't have killed him. This is for you."

Li Yunshu reached out to take it, then walked forward and put it back into Bai Lang's hand.

"I can't take their belongings, nor should I."

Li Yunshu had no desire for these things.

Just surviving was already a blessing.

Moreover, even if these things were given to him, he couldn't use them.

After returning, if anyone discovered he had items belonging to his colleagues, it would inevitably arouse suspicion from others.

Bai Lang opened Liu Lu's Cosmos Sack, and after a Divine Sense scan, his eyebrows raised.

His gaze once again turned to Li Yunshu.

"Are you sure you don't want it?"

Li Yunshu didn't speak, but simply shook his head firmly.

The Yin spirit stood by, watching Li Yunshu with great interest.

That feeling of fullness throughout her body just now was something she had never experienced, neither in life nor after death.

That feeling was very strange, as if her entire body was filled with power.

It wasn't just an enhancement of her strength; even her Illusory God Technique had improved.

Seeing the Yin spirit's expression, her eyes almost trailing like silk, Bai Lang was internally conflicted.

He looked at Liu Lu's Cosmos Sack again, then gritted his teeth and said.

"I don't like owing people. She's yours."

Huh?

Li Yunshu didn't react for a moment; how did he suddenly give away the Yin spirit?

To be honest, he was indeed a little tempted by Bai Lang's Yin spirit.

To be clear, he was definitely not coveting her body.

It was just that this Yin spirit specialized in illusions, which was very compatible with his Illusory God Technique.

If they teamed up in the future, they might be able to unleash even greater power.

However, while he thought this, Bai Lang had saved his life, and he still wanted Bai Lang's Yin spirit, which felt a bit unreasonable.

After the battle just now, he also realized that Bai Lang's greatest reliance was this Yin spirit.

Without her, Bai Lang's combat power would be greatly reduced.

However, before he could refuse, the Yin spirit actually stepped forward and took the Soul Banner from Bai Lang's hand.

As she turned, she whispered in Bai Lang's ear.

"I'm reluctant to leave you too, but he offers too much."

Having tasted the marrow, she couldn't forget that feeling after experiencing it once.

That feeling was very strange; it wasn't just the power of Divine Sense, but also a power she had never felt before mixed within it.

It was just that for a moment, she couldn't yet identify what kind of power it was.

Bai Lang rolled his eyes, ignored the Yin spirit, and instead turned to Li Yunshu.

"A treasure sword rewards its true friend. She's also a Yin spirit I just collected a few days ago, and she's more suitable with you."

The Yin spirit, holding the Soul Banner, walked in front of Li Yunshu, puffed out her chest, and stood on tiptoe, revealing her long, slender jade legs.

"This old lady wants to see how big Shangguan Shuangyue's chest is, and how long the Empress's legs are."
