Chapter 115: Not let you go even as a ghost
"You won\'t die a good death!"
Angry curses echoed from the sides, but Liu Buqun grabbed each person through the air and threw them behind him.
Man Jin noticed Liu Buqun\'s unusual behavior. He snorted, sending a wave of air that blasted through the crowd and headed straight for Liu Buqun!
Liu Buqun pulled out a copper bell, withstanding the impact of the airwave. He spat out a mouthful of blood, using the force to propel himself forward. Mid-air, he took out a wind sail, riding the wind and diving out of the city.
In an instant, he had escaped Rock Serpent City.
"..." Xu Hei was stunned. That guy actually managed to escape.
If Liu Buqun had even a moment\'s hesitation or the slightest thought of turning back to fight, he would have been dead.
Man Jin wanted to chase after him, but remembering the many experts still in the city, he had to give up. Instead, he turned his attention to the city guards on the tower."Fire the cannons!"
The City Lord waved his flag, and the guards aimed their cannons at Man Jin and fired.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The cannonballs hit Man Jin, causing him no pain, only slightly halting his movement.
At this moment, a ten-meter-wide ballista, carried by five cultivators, was brought out from the tower. They loaded a bolt and aimed at Man Jin, firing it with a loud "whoosh!"
The bolt pierced through the void with a sharp, ear-piercing sound, slightly pausing Man Jin\'s movement before it struck him.
Initially, Man Jin didn\'t pay much attention, but this bolt penetrated his protective true essence and embedded into his skin.
Though only the arrowhead was lodged in, it shocked Man Jin.
He used his nose to pull out the bolt and examined it closely.
The arrowhead was white jade in color, with faint spiritual power fluctuations.
It was made from the tusk of a Spirit-Devouring Elephant!
Man Jin\'s mind flashed back to his childhood memories.
At that time, the Wild Giant Elephant Tribe had many members, including a branch of Spirit-Devouring Elephants with thirteen members, one of whom was his closest sister.
But after a foraging trip, they never returned.
When they were found, only their tuskless corpses remained, lying cold in a pit.
The Spirit-Devouring Elephants were completely wiped out in that incident.
"Roar!!"
Man Jin let out an earth-shattering roar, shaking the entire Rock Serpent City.
In truth, Man Jin was naturally simple and didn\'t enjoy killing. As a herbivore, his bloodlust was far less than that of lions or Xu Hei.
After entering Rock Serpent City, he only targeted Han Te and other potential threats.
But now, seeing his kin\'s tusks made into weapons by humans, he recalled those painful memories.
"Senior Elephant, it was the Snake Catchers Sect that wronged you. Why must you annihilate us too?" the City Lord shouted in grief and indignation.
Man Jin glared over.
That sentence was like a fuse, igniting Man Jin\'s fury completely!
"You humans all deserve to die!"
Man Jin\'s roar echoed across the sky.
At this moment, he had no more mercy, unleashing his most destructive demon technique, Elephant\'s Roar!
"Roar!!!"
The air twisted, visible waves of air sweeping in all directions, destroying countless buildings, collapsing pavilions, and toppling city walls. Countless people had their brains burst and souls scattered.
Some weaker cultivators were caught in the waves, their bodies exploding.
On the city tower, the cultivators who were about to fire a second ballista bolt bled from their seven orifices, screaming in agony as they fell from the high walls, which tilted backward.
The City Lord of Rock Serpent City, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, only lasted a breath before his head exploded. He died not knowing how he had offended this giant elephant.
The sorrows of humans do not connect, let alone between humans and demons.
Man Jin\'s anguished roar spread far and wide, turning the surrounding ten miles into ruins in an instant!
Xu Hei watched this scene and couldn\'t help but gasp.
He had used flying needles and dragon scales, going to great lengths to kill about fifty people, and even let one escape.
But with a single roar from Man Jin, not a single person within ten miles survived, killing hundreds.
The entire Rock Serpent City had fewer than a thousand cultivators, and half were gone in an instant.
Adding those who fled and were killed by the Thunder Lions, the city was almost empty, with hardly any survivors.
Xu Hei acted again, eliminating the remaining stragglers.
Now, no disciples of the Snake Catchers Sect could be seen in the city.
In the sky, the Core Formation Stage battle was also nearing its end. The Nascent Soul ancestor, unable to withstand the lions\' siege, was finally defeated.
In his dying moments, he aimed at Xu Hei and dove down, preparing to self-destruct.
He knew Xu Hei was the mastermind behind this incident!
"Hmph, dream on!"
Not only did Man Jin intercept him, but the Purple Lightning Lion King also moved to block him.
Xu Hei quickly retreated, putting a safe distance between them at unprecedented speed.
"You little beast, I won\'t let you go even as a ghost!"
The unnamed Nascent Soul ancestor roared in unwillingness, his body exploding into a sky full of energy, sweeping outward.
Man Jin inhaled deeply, sucking all the shockwaves into his nose and refining them, preventing any spread.
The Purple Lightning Lion King activated his thunder shield, standing in front of Xu Hei and blocking most of the waves.
The remaining impact on Xu Hei was minimal, hardly causing any discomfort.
A few breaths later, everything was calm.
The unnamed Nascent Soul ancestor was dead, not even leaving a storage bag.
"Phew!"
Xu Hei let out a long breath.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.
Not letting him go even as a ghost?
He almost forgot!
Xu Hei patted his storage bag and took out a black soul flag.
This was the Soul-absorbing Flag he had taken from Bai Xiu, an enforcer of the Four Sects Alliance, a rare magical treasure capable of storing souls.
Such treasures were extremely rare. Despite killing so many snake catchers, Xu Hei hadn\'t found another with similar effects. Bai Xiu was indeed fortunate.
Xu Hei waved the Soul-absorbing Flag at the spot where the old man had died.
Suddenly, a faint, invisible wisp of yin energy was drawn into the flag.
"It works!"
Xu Hei\'s eyes lit up, and he waved the flag again, drawing in another wisp of yin energy.
It was said that a person\'s soul lingers in the world for a moment after death before dissipating completely.
Before that happened, Xu Hei needed to absorb the old man\'s soul into the Soul-absorbing Flag for refinement!
"If you won\'t let me go even as a ghost, then I won\'t let you go either!"
Xu Hei activated the Soul-absorbing Flag, continuously waving it to absorb the yin energy. Finally, a nearly complete soul was drawn into the flag.
With a sweep of his divine sense, Xu Hei saw a fist-sized misty spirit body swirling inside the flag, faintly emitting roars, its outline resembling the old man\'s face.
