Chapter 203 The Devil Returns, Wisdom Reveals the Trick
"It's it! It's here again!" Lei Yi gritted his teeth, squeezing out these words. The rage in his eyes threatened to ignite the scene before him, and his clenched fists trembled slightly.
Dongfang Liuli's face was solemn, her beautiful eyes fixed on the gradually clearing shadow. She said in a deep voice, "It's that Blood Shadow Demon Soul! How could it not be completely eliminated?"
Behind the skeleton warrior, a gray-black mist swirled and gradually condensed into a humanoid figure. The figure's outline was blurry, but it exuded a chilling aura that made one's heart tremble. It was none other than the Blood Shadow Demon Soul that Lei Yi had severely injured earlier!
"Hehehe... You didn't expect that I'm back again!" The Blood Shadow Demon Soul laughed sharply, his tone full of resentment and pride.
"Lei Yi, be careful!" Dongfang Liuli protected Lei Yi behind him, and an ice-blue long sword condensed in his hand, the sword body emitting a cold air.
"Don't worry, Liuli. I'm a completely different person now." Lei Yi gently patted the back of Dongfang Liuli's hand, reassuring her. He took a deep breath, calming the surging blood within him. A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, the Blood Shadow Demon Soul's body suddenly twisted, and the gray-black mist dissipated, replaced by a translucent figure of a child. The child looked only five or six years old, with a pale face, hollow eyes, and a thin body that trembled, looking pitiful.
"Big brother, big sister, please help me..." The child's weak voice was filled with a hint of crying, which made people feel pity.
Dongfang Liuli was slightly startled, a trace of pity flashing in her eyes. She turned to look at Lei Yi, but saw that Lei Yi had a calm expression and was not confused by this pitiful scene.
"Lei Yi, look..." Dongfang Liuli hesitated and said in a low voice.
Lei Yi shook his head slightly, signaling her not to interfere. He stepped forward, staring sharply at the child, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why are you playing tricks on me?"
The child raised his head, tears streaming from his hollow eyes. He choked and said, "Big Brother, I'm not a bad person... My name is Xiaoying. I was killed by some bad guys and trapped here..."
As he spoke, the child began to recount his "tragic experience." He claimed he was once a wealthy young man, but was murdered by a villain, leaving his soul trapped in this cemetery, unable to reincarnate. He pleaded with Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli to help him find salvation, his tone so sincere that it moved everyone to tears.
Dongfang Liuli felt a pang of sadness when she heard this, and there was a hint of comfort in her eyes when she looked at Lei Yi. However, Lei Yi remained expressionless, just listening quietly, as if thinking about something.
Suddenly, a cold smile appeared on his lips, a gleam in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Xiaoying, is it? Your story is very well made, but it's a pity..."
Lei Yi deliberately dragged out his words, his eyes fixed on the child, observing his reaction. The child's body trembled slightly, and a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
"What a pity?" There was a tremor in the child's voice, and he seemed a little uneasy.
"What a pity..." Lei Yi took a step forward, his tone cold, "There's a contract between you and me..."
As Lei Yi finished speaking, spiritual energy surged through his body, and a golden contract rune appeared before him, emitting a dazzling light. This was the soul contract he had signed with Dongfang Liuli. The contents of the contract were clearly visible, and one of the clauses clearly read: "Soul binding, shared perception."
"Soul Contract?!" the child exclaimed, a flash of panic in his hollow eyes, but he quickly concealed it, "Big Brother, what are you talking about? I don't understand..."
Lei Yi sneered, pointing at the contract rune and saying word by word, "This soul contract allows me to sense Liuli's emotional changes. Your story just now, although touching, is missing one thing—the emotional fluctuations that can make Liuli truly sad. You are just taking advantage of her kindness!"
As Lei Yi finished speaking, the child's figure began to tremble violently, and black cracks appeared on the surface of his translucent body, as if it would break at any time.
"Damn human! How dare you tease me?!" The child screamed, his voice no longer childish, but became hoarse and unpleasant, like the cry of a night owl.
The next moment, the child's figure shattered into a swirling black mist, revealing the Blood Shadow Demon Soul's true form. It stared at Lei Yi with resentment, its eyes flashing with ferocity: "Since you've seen through my disguise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Before he finished speaking, the Blood Shadow Demon Soul turned into a black lightning and pounced towards Lei Yi at a speed that was astonishingly fast.
"Lei Yi, be careful!" Dongfang Liuli's face changed when he saw this. He swung the ice-blue sword in his hand and released a sharp sword energy, slashing towards the blood-shadow demon soul.
However, the Blood Shadow Demon Soul was far too fast, and despite Dongfang Liuli's fierce sword energy, it still missed. It easily dodged the sword energy and instantly arrived in front of Lei Yi. Its black claws made a sharp sound as they fiercely grabbed Lei Yi's chest.
At the critical moment, Lei Yi's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, and the Blood Shadow Demon Soul's claws missed and grabbed the ground fiercely, causing gravel to fly and leaving several deep scratches.
"Teleport?!" The Blood Shadow Demon Soul was startled and looked up suddenly, only to see Lei Yi had appeared several meters away, looking at it coldly.
"Blood Shadow Demon Soul, do you think I am still the Lei Yi who let you slaughter me?" A cold light flashed in Lei Yi's eyes, spiritual power surged around his body, and a powerful aura burst out from his body.
"You think you can fight me?!" The Blood Shadow Demon Soul roared, and turned into a black shadow again, rushing towards Lei Yi. This time, its attack was more ferocious and its speed was a bit faster.
"Liuli, let's attack together!" Lei Yi shouted softly, and a light flashed in his hand. A golden sword appeared in his hand. Lightning flashed on the sword body, emitting a heart-pounding aura.
A determined look flashed across Dongfang Liuli's beautiful eyes. She pointed the ice-blue sword in her hand at the Blood Shadow Demon Soul and said in a deep voice, "Okay!"
The next moment, two figures rushed out at the same time, one golden and one blue. Two rays of light intertwined together, like two swimming dragons, sweeping towards the Blood Shadow Demon Soul...
Golden lightning and icy blue sword energy intertwined like a magnificent sword dance, firmly trapping the Blood Shadow Demon Soul. Dongfang Liuli's swordsmanship was ethereal and graceful, like the elegance of an ice goddess, yet concealed murderous intent; while Lei Yi's swordsmanship was vast and powerful, fierce and domineering, each strike imbued with the force of thunder.
The two of them, one attacking and one defending, cooperated with each other in a tacit understanding, and actually forced the Blood Shadow Demon Soul to retreat step by step.
"Damn humans! Do you think you can defeat me like this?!" The Blood Shadow Demon Soul roared angrily, and the black mist around its body rolled more violently, as if it would explode at any time.
"Today is the day you die!" A cold light flashed in Lei Yi's eyes, and he swung the golden sword in his hand. A dazzling golden sword light broke through the air and went straight to the vital point of the Blood Shadow Demon Soul.
The Blood Shadow Demon Soul was horrified and tried to dodge, but it was too late. The golden sword light was too fast, and it only had time to transform its body into a ball of black mist, hoping to use this to resist the attack.
However, Lei Yi's sword was a fusion of his powerful soul power. How could it be so easy to resist?
"Break!" Lei Yi roared, and the golden sword light exploded, turning into countless tiny golden lightning bolts, instantly tearing apart the black fog transformed by the Blood Shadow Demon Soul.
"Ah--" The Blood Shadow Demon Soul let out a shrill scream, and the black fog rolled violently, as if it was suffering great pain.
"Now is the time!" Lei Yi seized the opportunity, formed seals with his hands, and muttered something. An invisible wave emanated from his body, instantly enveloping the Blood Shadow Demon Soul.
"Soul Dispel!"
With a low shout from Lei Yi, the invisible wave suddenly shrank, tightly binding the remnant soul of the Blood Shadow Demon Soul, and then pulled it hard, completely expelling it from this space.
The Blood Shadow Demon Soul completely vanished, and peace returned to the world. Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli stood side by side, staring into the distance, speechless for a long time.
At this moment, a faint blue light slowly lit up in front of them. The light gradually condensed and finally turned into a blue elf the size of a palm.
This elf has crystal clear blue wings and delicate facial features that seem to be the most perfect masterpiece of the Creator. It radiates a soft blue light all over its body, making people want to get close to it.
The Blue Moon Elves, legendary spirits that can sign soul contracts with humans, possess incredible powers.
Lei Yi looked at the Blue Moon Elf before him, a glimmer of hope welling up in his heart, yet with a hint of hesitation. He knew that the Blue Moon Elf were very cautious in their choices, and not all cultivators with powerful soul powers would be recognized by them.
"Hello... hello..." He opened his mouth tentatively, wanting to say something.
The Blue Moon Elf slowly flapped its wings, looking at him with clear eyes. Then, it slowly extended its slender fingers and pointed at Lei Yi's chest...
