Not good!

The Phoenix Cry Thearch cried out in secret. The time that Jiang Yi woke up coincided with the time that she just found his eighth soul spirit brand and was about to imprint her soul spirit mark. Her soul spirit right now was very weak. If Jiang Yi consumed her instead, all her efforts would be wasted.
Buzz!
Jiang Yi’s soul spirit shone and started shaking violently. A strong feeling of refusal surged up from deep down his soul spirit. The Phoenix Cry Thearch was alarmed again. Speaking of the devil, Jiang Yi’s soul spirit began to fight back—and with extremely ferocious strength.
This kid’s mind is really so powerful?


Waves of invisible soul spirit swings rushed to the Phoenix Cry Thearch’s soul spirit brands like violent tides, causing indescribable misery to her. Jiang Yi was young, but his mind was absurdly strong. Seven of his soul spirit brands were imprinted with her soul spirit brands and couldn’t fight back at all, but she could hardly resist the backlash from his other two soul spirit brands.
Imagine—if Jiang Yi woke up a few minutes earlier, how powerful of a backlash would that be? Of course… if he woke up earlier, the Phoenix Cry Thearch’s soul spirit wouldn’t be consumed by so much; and she wouldn’t be so weak either.

Kid, don’t push me! Or… I will break your soul spirit and turn you into a walking dead!

The Phoenix Cry Thearch hated to reconcile. She passed a trace of her thoughts via the soul spirit mark, in an attempt to disturb Jiang Yi’s soul spirit, suppress the backlash, and refine him successfully!
She had already imprinted seven soul spirit marks and was only left with two. Naturally, she didn’t want to give up now. The stronger Jiang Yi’s mind was, the more he might achieve in the future. Bringing Jiang Yi under her control was equivalent to having one more valiant warrior who had infinite potential.

I’d rather die than be a slave!

A very clear notion came from Jiang Yi’s soul spirit swings. After that, the backlash grew stronger. The Phoenix Cry Thearch was in such an ordeal that the sweat on her forehead was getting thicker and thicker, and her petite body trembled slightly.
Pitter-patter, pitter-patter!
Sweat beads were dripping from her jade-like face onto the limestone slab on the ground, creating a light sound.
Though the sound was not loud, Region Mistress Qing Yu guarding outside the small hall was alerted. She swiftly glanced over, her beautiful eyes shrank, and her cherry lips parted slightly. Her face was filled with disbelief.


The Phoenix Cry Thearch—a Heaven Monarch Realm Martial expert—even found refining a Vajra Realm martial expert so difficult? It seemed like she also suffered from a backlash?

Hmph!

Region Mistress Qing Yu snorted coldly. Essence force glared in her hand, and she was ready to attack and kill Jiang Yi anytime. To her, the safety of the Phoenix Cry Thearch always came first. Jiang Yi’s death wasn’t something to be regretted.

Kid! Stop now, or I’ll kill you instantly!

The Phoenix Cry Thearch could barely resist it anymore. Jiang Yi’s soul spirit gushed to her wisp of soul spirit mark violently. Though every gush was not very strong, it came in a steady stream. It looked like Jiang Yi would rather die than let the Phoenix Cry Thearch have her way.

Then die!

The Phoenix Cry Thearch was enraged. A black light flashed by her body, her soul spirit—which was ten times stronger than before—was going to surge out from her mind into Jiang Yi’s sword-shaped soul spirit. His soul spirit would collapse, and she could get back her soul spirit marks!
Soul spirit marks were very important!
Soul Seal was actually congealed from a wisp of soul spirit mark. If Jiang Yi destroyed the soul spirit marks, her soul spirit would be severely damaged. The Lion Chi Thearch was still watching her in hostility in the Black Phoenix City. Once she was badly hurt, the consequence would be inconceivable.
Even worse, if Jiang Yi managed to refine her soul spirit marks, she would be controlled by Jiang Yi instead. It was equal to her surrendering her Soul Seal. Her life was at his disposal. As her soul spirit marks were in Jiang Yi’s hand, she would never have thoughts that rebelled against Jiang Yi.


Of course…
This could never happen. Jiang Yi’s soul spirit was too weak to refine her soul spirit marks. Besides, her ten-fold soul spirit was already in Jiang Yi’s head via her hands and was about to reach the sword-shaped sword soul. Such a powerful soul spirit would break down Jiang Yi’s soul spirit body for an instant.

Die—!

The Phoenix Cry Thearch shouted deeply in her mind and manipulated the surging soul spirit into Jiang Yi’s sword-shaped soul spirit!
Boom!
As though a slight bomb blew off, the gushing soul spirit of the Phoenix Cry Thearch rushed in, like giant waves pouring into a small stream. Jiang Yi’s soul spirit inside his sword-shaped soul spirit body was washed away bit by bit and soon flooded in chaos. His soul spirit body might break down anytime now because of the immense pressure. Once it did, Jiang Yi’s soul spirit would die; and he would turn into a living corpse or die as well.
Buzz!
Just at this moment, Jiang Yi’s whole sword-shaped soul spirit lit up, something unexpected happened—!
On the Sea of Soul Spirit, Jiang Yi’s sword-shaped soul spirit body—which was just like the Fire Dragon Sword—beamed with black light, and this wasn’t any ordinary black light! Either that or… the black light wasn’t emitted from Jiang Yi’s soul spirit body… but from some black characters on the surface of the sword-shaped soul spirit body.
If Jiang Yi was lucid right now and could read off these characters, he would be astonished!



In the vastness of heaven and earth, only The Way is eternal. To obtain proof of heavenly law, one must first cultivate oneself…

The black characters appeared inside Jiang Yi’s soul spirit were actually the cultivation technique for the Nameless Divine Art. Those dozens of black words and symbols in Xiaozhuan 1 secretly appeared in his soul spirit, on the surface of the soul spirit body.
These black characters circulated and moved outside the sword-shaped soul spirit body, giving out soft black light which lit up the entire Sea of Soul Spirit. A holy and extremely powerful aura was disseminated from the characters.

What… what is this thing?

The Phoenix Cry Thearch turned pale with fright. She felt a strong warning of danger from those dozens of black characters in Xiaozhuan. They also possessed some unknown energy which made her feel terrified and desperate.
Tsk! Tsk!
The black characters in Xiaozhuan circulated one round on the outside before surging towards inside of the soul spirit body. Next, something that frightened the Phoenix Cry Thearch even more happened. The ten wisps of soul spirit that she sent in instantly disintegrated under the attack of the black characters, which also rushed to soul spirit marks like numerous sharps swords!

No, no!

The Phoenix Cry Thearch had a strange feeling that if her soul spirit marks got closer to the black characters, they would definitely be suppressed and then… tamed!
In other words, she might very likely be refined by Jiang Yi instead and become his soul slave!


Her petite body shivered more violently. Her forehead was drenched with cold sweat. She frenziedly circulated her soul spirit towards Jiang Yi’s brain, in order to resist those black characters in Xiaozhuan and save her soul spirit marks.

Not good!

Region Mistress Qing Yu, who was keeping an eye on the situation, paled with fright as well. She sensed the horror coming from the Phoenix Cry Thearch’s body. Though she didn’t know what had happened, she was certain that this couldn’t be delayed any longer. Otherwise, something greatly wrong would definitely happen.
Swish!
Jiang Yi was next to the Phoenix Cry Thearch, and so she couldn’t release any Dao pattern or essence force attack. A ring glowed in her hand, and a dagger appeared. She was going to give Jiang Yi’s a hard stab.
If Jiang Yi was dead, the Phoenix Cry Thearch would naturally be safe as a dead man wouldn’t consist any threaten. The dagger shimmered with cold light, pierced through the sky, and was aimed straight at Jiang Yi’s head. Region Mistress Qing Yu shouted murderously,
Bastard, die!

Three meters, two meters, one meter… half a meter!
The dagger covered such a short distance as a flash. The chilly presence from the dagger already surrounded Jiang Yi’s face, and it was directly going towards the space between his eyebrows!
Buzz!
Just at this moment, Jiang Yi’s eyes suddenly opened. His stark black eyes flickered with contemptuous laughter. He lifted his lips and said leisurely,
Qing Yu, what are you doing now? I’ve told you a million times. Act like a lady; don’t be so fierce. A lady can’t fight and kill every day…
