Chapter 587: Soul Searching Technique

Yi Tiannie's ambush failed. The reason he didn't leave immediately, and dared to stay and threaten Qin Sang with the Crimson Cloud Purple Fruit, was because he believed Qin Sang's Corpse Pill was similar to that of the Flying Yaksha.

As he controlled the Flying Yaksha, he was well aware of Qin Sang's true strength, believing they were at least evenly matched. Given his speed, Qin Sang surely couldn't stop him from escaping.

However, Yi Tiannie never anticipated that this Corpse Pill was not *that* Corpse Pill.

Qin Sang had formed his Corpse Pill by absorbing Fiend-Devil Qi, giving him power comparable to a true Core Formation cultivator, whereas Yi Tiannie merely controlled a man-made Flying Yaksha!

"You are considered a formidable figure, and if you had endured a few more years, you might actually have succeeded," Qin Sang remarked.

The sea of flames parted, and Qin Sang emerged from the demonic fire, his gaze icy as he stared at Yi Tiannie. "This place has excellent scenery," he said coldly, "perfect for burying you!"

The Ten Directions Yama Banner vibrated repeatedly, emitting waves of demonic sounds.

The yin winds grew more urgent, their mournful whispers unsettling.

The stone hall was shrouded in pitch darkness, rendering everything invisible to the naked eye. Qin Sang stood beside the Ten Directions Yama Banner, wielding the demonic banner, surrounded by wildly dancing demonic flames, looking like a devil reborn from fire.

Instead of radiating heat, the Nine Nether Demonic Flames made the stone hall intensely cold, a chill that seemed to seep into one's very soul, causing involuntary shivers.

The flames were pitch black, as if from the Nine Nethers, capable of devouring all light and exerting immense pressure. Yi Tiannie, trapped in the center, felt his heart palpitate.

The rocks in the stone hall groaned and cracked, yet a faint luminescence flowed within them, keeping them incredibly sturdy and able to withstand the onslaught of the Nine Nether Demonic Flames.

Protected by the Demon King's Blood Seal, even if Qin Sang and Yi Tiannie fought with all their might, they couldn't shatter the stone walls here, allowing them to unleash their full power without reservation.

Yi Tiannie's expression froze, turning exceptionally grim.

Back then, when Patriarch Kuiyin ascended, he bestowed the Ten Directions Yama Banner upon his disciples, and Yi Tiannie began controlling this treasure, understanding it intimately.

If Qin Sang had formed a normal Corpse Pill, there would have been nothing to fear, but things were different now.

The demonic flames raged furiously.

A flash of green light appeared on Yi Tiannie's chest, and his figure suddenly vanished.

Qin Sang's eyes narrowed. He knew this wasn't an invisibility technique but an illusion caused by Yi Tiannie's extreme speed.

Flying Yakshas were inherently skilled in escape arts, appearing and disappearing unpredictably. Yi Tiannie had used some unknown ghost-path secret art, making him even faster and incredibly agile.

Qin Sang had spread out the Nine Nether Demonic Flames precisely to counter Yi Tiannie's movements.

The moment Yi Tiannie moved, he inevitably touched the Nine Nether Demonic Flames. Qin Sang easily tracked his movements, flicked his finger, and the surrounding demonic flames immediately surged forward, blocking Yi Tiannie's path.

For a moment, the stone hall was in chaos.

Accompanied by loud crashing sounds, Yi Tiannie's figure darted like a ghost, appearing now on the left, now on the right, trying every possible method to break through the demonic flames.

The Nine Nether Demonic Flames would sometimes converge into a ball, then disperse in all directions.

They were unpredictable, yet orderly, shifting at Qin Sang's will.

Even when struck by Yi Tiannie's powerful blows, the Nine Nether Demonic Flames quickly reformed, blocking his path, forcing him back, and leaving no gaps whatsoever.

Although there was a disparity in their strengths, killing Yi Tiannie wouldn't be achieved in a short time.

If Qin Sang were too impatient, he might reveal a flaw, allowing Yi Tiannie to escape.

However, Qin Sang had no intention of killing Yi Tiannie in this manner, nor even of injuring him for now. Instead, he focused solely on manipulating the Ten Directions Yama Banner to block all exits and firmly trap him!

It was precisely due to Qin Sang's steady approach that, no matter how much Yi Tiannie struggled, he couldn't find an opportunity to escape.

At the same time, Qin Sang was multitasking, connecting with the soul imprint within the Flying Yaksha, attempting to break through Yi Tiannie's blockade and awaken the imprint.

Yi Tiannie himself was merely a remnant soul; he needed to attach himself to the Flying Yaksha to possess significant power, at least until his soul fully recovered.

If Qin Sang could regain control of the Flying Yaksha, cutting off Yi Tiannie's foundation, Yi Tiannie would become like a rootless duckweed, a lone wandering spirit, left utterly at his mercy.

Even if he couldn't fully reclaim the Flying Yaksha, he could still create chaos and weaken Yi Tiannie's power.

Yi Tiannie quickly perceived Qin Sang's intentions and felt despair. He roared repeatedly, now utterly desperate, frantically attacking the Nine Nether Demonic Flames.

But all his efforts were futile. He had missed his only chance to escape, cutting off his own retreat and becoming a trapped beast in a cage.

With no hope of escape, Yi Tiannie's attempts to attack Qin Sang, who held the banner, were even more pointless.

Qin Sang, in contrast, grew increasingly composed. He could feel the soul imprint becoming clearer and clearer, while Yi Tiannie's speed was gradually slowing, clearly affected.

Finally, Qin Sang successfully reawakened the soul imprint.

Unexpectedly, just as Qin Sang was about to contend for control of the Flying Yaksha's physical body, Yi Tiannie suddenly ceased his struggle, and the Flying Yaksha stood motionless.

Yi Tiannie seemed to have vanished.

Qin Sang felt a flicker of doubt. With a thought, he continued to unleash all the Nine Nether Demonic Flames, sending them surging towards the Flying Yaksha.

In that very instant, a dazzling green light suddenly flared from the Flying Yaksha's chest, releasing an exceptionally powerful aura as it shot forth from the Yaksha's body.

This green light forcibly tore through several layers of flames, but it couldn't open an escape route. Its momentum quickly faded, and it completely extinguished, leaving no trace.

Qin Sang's expression shifted slightly. Just as he was about to investigate, he suddenly felt something was amiss and quickly looked down at the bottom of the lake, indeed noticing a clue.

Immediately after, a clear, sharp sword hum suddenly resonated from Qin Sang's glabella.

The next moment, the Ebony Sword appeared at the bottom of the lake ahead.

Sword qi erupted, and the Ebony Sword swiftly thrust into the lakebed.

With a crisp *clang*, a crescent-shaped jade artifact, seemingly struck from thin air, was dislodged from the seemingly empty lakebed by the Ebony Sword.

Inside the jade, remarkably, was Yi Tiannie's soul shadow, glaring at Qin Sang with bitter resentment.

Even in such a desperate situation, Yi Tiannie had managed to employ a "secret passage" strategy, igniting all his soul essence and hiding within the jade artifact, attempting to sneak away unnoticed.

What an incredibly tenacious will to survive!

Qin Sang felt a surge of emotion, but his actions were ruthless.

Sword qi enveloped the jade artifact, and Yi Tiannie was powerless to resist.

However, the moment the sword qi wrapped around the jade, a crack suddenly appeared on Yi Tiannie's soul shadow, and his aura rapidly dissipated.

Seeing this, Qin Sang's figure flickered rapidly, seizing the jade artifact.

Yi Tiannie was attempting to commit suicide, but Qin Sang wouldn't allow it; he still needed to interrogate him for information about the Three Luminaries Jade Liquid.

Just as Qin Sang was about to activate the Soul Seizing Incantation, he suddenly heard True Lord Yunyou's voice transmission: "His soul is about to dissipate; use soul-searching!"

Following this, a soul-searching technique appeared in Qin Sang's mind.

This soul-searching technique was incredibly intricate, far surpassing the few Qin Sang had acquired previously.

Qin Sang knew that time was of the essence. The Soul Seizing Incantation was indeed less effective than soul-searching, so he immediately changed his mind, swiftly completed the incantation, and with eerie black mist emanating from his fingertips, he grabbed Yi Tiannie's remnant soul.
