Yan Xicai, standing nearby, watched as he stripped away the murderous aura from the enforcer, his eyes lighting up like blazing torches.
Could it really be done like this?
Chen Yifei was filled with amazement.
This was the first time he had seen the skills of the Book of Divine Way. With just a single word, it could immobilize a person and even strip away their murderous aura... Although he didn't know if this "Devour" word could take away other things, judging from its current effects, its abnormality was already comparable to "Formlessness".
He wondered, what level was this Pu Wen exactly?
While watching the spectacle, Chen Yifei seized the moment when everyone's attention was on Yan Xicai. He quietly transformed into a spider and crawled out of the ravine...
After draining all the murderous aura from one enforcer, Yan Xicai clearly felt his condition improving. It was a sense of exhilaration and confidence he had never experienced before. He immediately walked to the second enforcer and began absorbing again.
Ten auras of murder;
Twenty-two auras of murder;
Thirty-five auras of murder...
As one enforcer after another lost their murderous aura and collapsed weakly onto the ground, Yan Xicai's eyes visibly turned red, and an indescribable fierce aura poured out from his body!
The murderous aura within him grew more and more concentrated, but the War God Path still didn't react, causing a strong sense of frustration to well up in his heart.
"It's not enough, still not enough!"
Yan Xicai absorbed sixteen more auras of murder, then heavily pushed the just-drained enforcer to the ground and grabbed the next enforcer's shoulder.
"How many do you have left?"
"Ten... Fifteen auras," the enforcer, clearly frightened by Yan Xicai, stuttered.
Without hesitation, Yan Xicai pressed his palm against the enforcer's chest, and the murderous aura violently surged into his body through the vortex in his palm.
Jian, whose cheek was slashed by a blade and had the least amount of murderous aura, was also at the end of the line. He watched as Yan Xicai gradually approached, his heart in his mouth.
"It's still not enough! Just one left... the last one!"
After absorbing the murderous aura from the seventh enforcer, the War God Path still didn't react. Yan Xicai lowered his head, his eyes crimson, and rushed to Jian.
"How many do you have?!"
"Seven... Seven auras."
"Only seven?! Just seven?" Yan Xicai's fierce face was almost pressed against Jian's. "Waste of space!!"
He kicked out, directly knocking Jian to the ground. Jian only felt a palm pressing hard against his chest, and a sucking force emanating from it!
"It's not working," Pu Wen's voice suddenly sounded. "He hasn't let down his guard and agreed to the 'Devour' word."
Yan Xicai's pupils slightly contracted. He heavily stamped his foot on Jian's chest and roared,
"What are you doing?! Give me your murderous aura!!"
Jian was dazed by Yan Xicai's stomps, his mind momentarily blank.
"Don't you really want to be an enforcer anymore? Do you believe that with just one word from me, I can make your whole family die?" Yan Xicai's roar came again, like a wild beast snarling in Jian's ear.
Upon hearing this, Jian's pupils suddenly contracted.
A struggle flashed across his face, but in the end, he relaxed his body and let the "Devour" word take away the murderous aura within him.
As the murderous aura rapidly dissipated, his confidence and dignity faded away, leaving an unprecedented emptiness in his mind. He didn't even want to move a finger, collapsing weakly onto the ground.
Yan Xicai finished absorbing the last remnants of murderous aura, his eyes turning crimson like blood. At this moment, he looked like a butcher who had just emerged from a sea of blood and gore, his gaze alone capable of scaring infants into silence.
He spat viciously at Jian, who was like a corpse, his eyes filled with violence and resentment.
Pu Wen visibly looked exhausted after using the "Absorb" technique so many times in one breath. He frowned tightly as he looked at Yan Xicai, whose temperament had undergone a significant change...
"He's absorbed so much murderous aura, but it hasn't attracted the attention of the Bingshen Path?"
Through this method of plunder, Yan Xicai's murderous aura was undoubtedly the most abundant in the entire Ancient Bingdao Collection. Even among all the enforcers in history, there were probably few who could accumulate nearly a hundred auras within 24 hours... But even so, the foundation of the Bingshen Path remained completely unresponsive.
It hung high above the clouds, like a proud and discerning emperor of slaughter, while Yan Xicai had never caught its attention.
"Yan Xicai, are you feeling alright?" Pu Wen asked.
"Me? I feel great!" Yan Xicai's eyes were bloodshot. He took a deep breath and looked at the dark red gemstone above the clouds. "But I've already accumulated nearly a hundred auras of murderous intent! Why hasn't it attracted the Bingshen Path?!"
"Maybe... it's because the amount of murderous aura isn't enough yet," Pu Wen paused for a moment, "or maybe, you're really not suited for the Bingshen Path."
"You're full of shit!!"
Yan Xicai widened his eyes. "I was chosen by the Bingshen Path! How could I not be suited for it?? It must be that the Bingshen Path has too high requirements for me! So it hasn't descended yet..."
His voice suddenly stopped.
He stared blankly at the empty ground, stunned for several seconds before snapping back to reality.
"Wait, where's my Bai Qi Token?!!"
Yan Xicai clearly remembered placing the token on the ground carefully before he started absorbing the murderous aura... How could it be gone in the blink of an eye?
"There's someone there!" someone shouted, and everyone looked up.
On a nearby hill, a familiar figure was holding the Bai Qi Token, looking back at Yan Xicai with a contemptuous smile...
The Fire Manipulator, Number 8.
In the next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot.
No one noticed that in the void behind him, a face with almost no thickness silently drifted to the ground...
[Audience Expectation +5]
Yan Xicai's breathing suddenly became heavy!
"The Fire Manipulator?!!!" he gritted his teeth and roared, "You're looking for death!!"
Yan Xicai had absorbed nearly a hundred auras of murderous intent but still hadn't gained the attention of the Bingshen Path, which made him extremely unhappy. However, fortunately, he still had a Bai Qi Token. Even if he couldn't embark on the Bingshen Path this time, he could still rely on his identity as "the one chosen by the Bingshen Path" to return to Aurora City and reclaim everything he had lost...
But now, the only opportunity for him to turn the tide had been stolen by the Fire Manipulator right before his eyes.
What was the difference between this and stealing his life directly?!
"This is bad. When did they start targeting us?" Pu Wen pondered, "Could their goal be the Bai Qi Token?"
"Fuck the Fire Manipulator!!" Yan Xicai was like a powder keg that had been completely ignited, raging with anger. "Do you really think I'm afraid of them? Chase after them!"
"Calm down. We're no match for them."
"We weren't before, but that's not necessarily true now. There are so many enforcers who have embarked on the Bingshen Path in this ancient place. Can't I command them?!" Yan Xicai spoke viciously,
"Money makes the world go round... The Fire Manipulator dares to steal my Bai Qi Token. I'll take their lives!"
