Chapter 97: Strangle!

Shi Yan appeared again!

Mu Hui's expression suddenly turned serious. The strange light in his eyes flickered with a cold gleam as he stared at Shi Yan, who was approaching step by step.

Three martial artists at the Third Heaven of the Human Rank had been slain by Shi Yan. The last two died after Mu Hui used his mental martial soul on Shi Yan!

"You are quite impressive," Mu Hui slowly drew a breath, "But the outcome will not change. You will still die at my hands!"

Shi Yan's expression was somewhat ferocious. Negative energy surged within his body like waves, and wisps of pale mist enveloped him.

Various negative emotions flooded his body uncontrollably. Thoughts of violence and slaughter swirled around him like a tornado, and the intense killing aura seemed capable of destroying everything.

However, his mind remained incredibly clear and calm.

In his berserk state, Shi Yan's senses were extremely acute. He could perceive every detail of this strange world, even the flow of essence energy within Mu Hui's body!

Mental martial soul!

This was the most mysterious type of martial soul. Martial artists with a mental martial soul had terrifying senses and the power to influence others with their words. Their perception of the elemental energy of heaven and earth was far superior to that of ordinary martial artists.

Mu Hui possessed a mental martial soul!

Once he broke through to the Nirvana Realm and formed a sea of consciousness in his mind, his mental martial soul would become even more powerful! A single word could drive someone to madness, plunging them into an irredeemable state.

Earlier, Mu Hui's single word had put Shi Yan into a state of apparent death, his body icy and stiff. If it weren't for the negligence of the two Dark Nether martial artists, he might have already been dead.

Therefore, this time, when Shi Yan charged forward again, the first thing he did was to firmly guard his mind, not daring to let Mu Hui use his mental martial soul to麻痹 his mind again.

"The petrification martial soul of the Shi family is indeed quite formidable. It seems those two failed to kill you with a single strike, allowing you to regain consciousness," Mu Hui said, his narrow eyes narrowing slightly, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

That strange light grew brighter, and gradually, Mu Hui's eyes seemed to become like gemstones under the sun, dazzling and brilliant!

A mental force that could bewitch the mind was released from his eyes, like an invisible storm that suddenly enveloped the entire area!

"Lock!"

Mu Hui called out softly.

Shi Yan's body stiffened, his eyes becoming dazed again. The essence energy in his body seemed to be frozen, making it difficult to flow.

"Dark Nether Blade!"

Mu Hui raised his right hand, green lightning shooting from his fingers, quickly condensing into a long blade that shimmered with a green glow.

The blade was substantial, radiating cold light, and its divine brilliance was dazzling.

Holding the Dark Nether Blade, Mu Hui walked toward Shi Yan with a calm smile, as if strolling leisurely in a courtyard.

"Thump! Thump!"

In his chest, the Yin Pearl pulsed continuously, responding to the strange light point in the heart of the stone statue. The Yin Pearl became increasingly restless within his acupoints!

Shi Yan, whose mind was affected, suddenly sensed the movement within the Yin Pearl.

His mind seemed to be in an endless dark abyss, rapidly sinking, as if about to be swallowed by the abyss, losing all sense of self.

Suddenly!

Various negative emotions erupted from the acupoints in his brain! Bloodlust, madness, and hatred surged into the abyss, merging with Shi Yan's sinking rationality.

"Boom!"

His mind jolted, and Shi Yan's sinking rationality was jolted back to clarity by the surge of negative emotions.

"Ah!"

Mu Hui immediately noticed and called out, but the Dark Nether Blade in his hand did not hesitate to strike down!

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

As the Dark Nether Blade moved, the air exploded, and under the green glow, the blade became thinner and thinner, like a cicada's wing.

After regaining consciousness, Shi Yan saw the Dark Nether Blade coming down and instinctively moved to the left.

"Thud!"

A flash of lightning, and a deep blood mark appeared on Shi Yan's right arm. The Dark Nether Blade seemed to carry some unknown power, capable of breaking through his petrification martial soul!

Shi Yan was shocked!

Mu Hui's eyes also showed surprise, his expression becoming even more serious. He said calmly, "Not bad. This strike only left a blood mark on your shoulder, not severing your arm. The petrification martial soul of the Shi family indeed has formidable defensive power."

The Dark Nether Blade was the most powerful mystic-level martial technique of the Dark Nether, cultivated by Mu Hui using the essence of dead spirits over five years. The Dark Nether Blade carried the essence of dead spirits, capable of eroding all flesh, with terrifying destructive power!

In the past, when Mu Hui used the Dark Nether Blade, even martial artists at the Hundred Tribulations Realm would retreat, never daring to engage him in close combat.

In Mu Hui's view, although the Shi family's martial soul was extraordinary, its essence was still flesh, and it should not be able to withstand the essence of dead spirits on the Dark Nether Blade.

However, the strike did not sever Shi Yan's arm, only leaving a blood mark.

—He was even more surprised than Shi Yan!

Retreating quickly, Shi Yan took a deep breath, quietly releasing three magnetic extermination fields and attempting to activate the Mystic Yin Technique.

This was the first time he used the Mystic Yin Technique!

The six Yin Pearls suddenly exerted force, releasing a surge of yin energy into the three yin vortices.

The three yin vortices spun wildly! Pure energy flowed from the vortices, rushing up Shi Yan's arm and into his right palm.

A green light ball, about the size of a human head, quickly formed in his palm. The green light ball was surrounded by electric snakes, and a cold, sinister force radiated from it, filled with a chilling aura.

Yin energy continued to surge into the light ball!

The green light ball grew larger, and in just a few seconds, it was the size of a basin, radiating brilliant green light, like a green sun.

Mu Hui's expression changed for the first time.

"Friend, don't struggle anymore," Mu Hui said, his mental martial soul like a shockwave, slamming into Shi Yan's mind again.

"Explode!"

Before the mental martial soul could take effect, Shi Yan suddenly roared, and the green light ball in his hand flew out, striking Mu Hui like lightning.

"Boom!"

The green light ball suddenly exploded, and the pure yin energy, carrying Shi Yan's aura, rained down on Mu Hui.

Amid the explosion, Shi Yan's mind, which had been controlled, was pulled out of the dark abyss by the negative emotions.

His eyes regained clarity.

On the other side, Mu Hui's body stiffened as the yin energy rained down, and the flow of his essence energy suddenly slowed.

The Dark Nether Blade in his hand, which was glowing with a brilliant green light, also flickered, affected by the yin energy from the green light ball's explosion.

Move!

The three magnetic extermination fields suddenly floated out from in front of Shi Yan, silently surging toward Mu Hui.

Taking advantage of Mu Hui's lack of reaction, Shi Yan shot forward like a cannonball, his thin body suddenly entering one of the magnetic extermination fields, and he punched Mu Hui in the head.

"Looking for death!" A bloody cold light flashed in Mu Hui's strange eyes.

"Dark Nether Great Hand Seal!"

Mu Hui raised his left hand, the veins on his left arm swelling, and his left palm instantly doubled in size, turning a terrifying dark green.

A deathly aura emanated from his hand, and as Mu Hui raised his hand to strike, it seemed to block the space, colliding head-on with Shi Yan's iron fist.

"Boom!"

In the deafening explosion, Shi Yan's body was like a rock, landing on the ground, while Mu Hui's face was filled with shock, and his body was thrown back.

A terrifying force, like a tidal wave, erupted from Shi Yan's fist, exploding within Mu Hui's Dark Nether Great Hand Seal, forcefully throwing Mu Hui back!

A martial artist at the First Heaven of the Human Rank, Shi Yan, had actually forced a martial artist at the Third Heaven of the Human Rank, Mu Hui, to retreat!

The punch, carrying various negative forces, had its power multiplied in his berserk state, far beyond what a martial artist of the same realm could withstand!

—Mu Hui's disaster had just begun.

When he finally stabilized himself, he suddenly felt as if he was trapped in quicksand, his body involuntarily spinning.

—He had been directly slammed into the magnetic extermination field by Shi Yan!

Mu Hui's expression changed abruptly!

"Heh heh!" Shi Yan sneered, his eyes cold and ruthless, and he charged forward.

"Suppress!"

Mu Hui roared in the magnetic extermination field, a massive mental force surging into Shi Yan's mind in a straight line.

Shi Yan's body, which was charging forward, suddenly paused, and he fell to the ground.

Mu Hui's expression was cold, and the Dark Nether Blade in his hand drew strange arcs, releasing waves of dark cold energy, swirling within the magnetic extermination field.

The mental martial soul was activated again! Mu Hui constantly reminded himself to stay calm, focusing all his attention on the changes in the field's energy, trying to find a way to escape.

However, the magnetic extermination field was a spirit-level martial technique, created using negative energy and essence energy. Although Mu Hui had a mental martial soul, he could not find any pattern in a short time.

The high-speed spinning of the magnetic extermination field not only slowed the flow of his essence energy but also seemed to dull the sensitivity of his mental martial soul!

Sweat was already forming on Mu Hui's forehead, and his body continued to spin, but he could not grasp the pattern of the field.

On the other hand, after a brief pause on the ground, the negative emotions flared up again, pulling Shi Yan out of the dark abyss.

His eyes suddenly regained clarity, and Shi Yan coldly snorted, staring at Mu Hui, who was spinning in the field. With a change of mind, he released more yin energy from his body, injecting it into the magnetic extermination field.

The more different energies in the magnetic extermination field, the greater the power it could generate!

Just the negative energy and essence energy alone could suppress a martial artist of the same realm. Now, with the addition of yin energy, the field's power increased dramatically!

A chaotic force suddenly erupted from the magnetic extermination field, and the speed of the field's flow doubled!

"Thud!"

Mu Hui spat out a mouthful of blood. His mental martial soul seemed to be caught in a meat grinder, causing intense pain in his head, and his essence energy was thrown into chaos, significantly reducing his defensive power.

Shi Yan held his breath, his expression cold and stern, focusing all his mental energy on controlling the magnetic extermination field.

The chaotic force of the magnetic extermination field erupted completely!

The violent force tore through Mu Hui's body, and in the field, Mu Hui's body was covered in blood, his flesh torn, and the strange light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
