?Chapter 985: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 982 Evil Soul Thread Chapter 985: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 982 Evil Soul Thread Just at that moment, a red gleam flashed, and a red needle eerily appeared beside the huge red wolf.


    Following another flash, the flying needle turned into a red line and struck the Corpse Wolf’s protective green flame.


    With a “pu” sound, the red line sharply pierced through the green flame.


    Startled, the huge wolf frantically shook its head, yet the red line still penetrated its neck and emerged from the other side.


    With a pained roar from its mouth, the Corpse Wolf suddenly shot out black qi from its four legs and vanished into the cold wind without a trace.


    Seeing this scene, the elder and the others were naturally overjoyed.


    “Chase!”


    Someone roared loudly, and as their bodies shone with spiritual light, they prepared to pursue in their streaks of light.


    However, at that moment, a bird-like cry suddenly emitted from Han Li’s waist.


    The sound was not loud, but Han Li’s face dramatically changed and he reflexively cast multiple misty sword qi that fiercely struck the ground some thirty feet away.


    With several rumblings, a ghostly light flashed on the ground, and several black hands eerily appeared, flicking their fingers and easily deflecting the incoming sword qi.


    Then, a strong gust of cold wind arose, and three shaky human figures gradually materialized.


    They were the three mummies that had once appeared at the intersection.


    They seemed to have some scheme, for they had managed to evade the Array at the intersection and followed the group to this place, skillfully staying hidden all the while.

    But as Han Li and the others were about to leave, one of the mummies carelessly leaked its presence, which was detected by the Weeping Soul Beast in Han Li’s spirit beast pouch, forcing it to reveal itself.


    Though these mummies were equally emaciated, they varied slightly in height and build.


    With Han Li’s extraordinary memory, he instantly recognized one that seemed oddly familiar, shockingly one that should have turned to ash.


    Han Li’s complexion turned slightly, while the black-robed beauty, the elder, and Bai Yaoyi also let out a gasp at the same time.


    “How are these mummies alive?


    When I found them, they were completely inanimate.”


    It was the surprised voice of the black-robed beauty.


    It seemed she had encountered another mummy in a different cave.


    Bai Yaoyi’s shock came for the same reason as Han Li’s, a look of alarmed suspicion crossing her face.


    “How so, do you recognize these ghosts?


    We can’t worry about that now.


    We need to chase down the Yin Zhi Horse first.


    Fellow Daoist Han, Sister Chang, you two stay here to deal with these ghosts while the rest of us chase after the Spirit Objects.


    If it hides again, it will be hard to find.”


    Although the elder with the surname Fu was also greatly surprised by the appearance of these three mummies, he was primarily focused on capturing the Yin Zhi Horse.


    In his mind, whether it was Han Li and his fellow female disciple dealing with the three strange Corpse Refining Technique, or the three of them handling the Corpse Wolf, there shouldn’t be any problems.


    There indeed was no dissent from the others.


    After the black-robed beauty and Han Li nodded in agreement, the elder with the surname Fu and the other two, without further hesitation, transformed into streaks of light and flew away, chasing after the Corpse Wolf that had disappeared into the cold wind.


    After Han Li put away his Crystalized Flying Needles, he stood side by side with the black-robed beauty, coldly looking at the mummies.


    Although the powers of the Ghost Path were originally eerie, the fact that a body destroyed by Devilbane Lightning could reappear was somewhat inconceivable.


    Thus, although Han Li appeared calm on the outside, he became naturally more cautious inside.


    The black-robed beauty, an elder of the Nine Nether Sect and well-versed in demon ghost arts, likewise did not underestimate these mummies.


    Although the giant red sword circling above her head was dazzling, she had no intention ofAppropriating cautious action.


    While Han Li and his companion maintained their composure, the mummies on the opposite side could not hold back any longer upon seeing the other three leave.


    The larger figure in the middle suddenly took two big steps forward, and at the same time, a gray, fuzzy thread sprayed out from its mouth, aiming directly at the black-robed beauty.


    “Looking for death!” the black-robed beauty’s face darkened, and she snorted coldly.


    She flicked her sleeves, and more than ten fireballs shot out in quick succession from her sleeve, then she pointed at the huge sword above her head.


    The giant sword split the void, and a fierce red Sword Qi also chopped down.


    In her mind, this inconspicuous thread was most likely formed from concentrated corpse qi, and fire attribute cultivation arts were precisely its counter.


    However, a startling scene unfolded!


    After a “pupu” sound, the gray thread, seemingly unbothered, pierced through all the fireballs.


    Then, with a flash of firelight, the fireballs vanished into thin air, instantly absorbed by the fine thread.


    The following fierce red sword light, upon striking this entity, fared no better than the fireballs.


    The resilient gray thread merely wavered and was then also absorbed without a trace.


    The thread, without any pause, arrived in front of the black-robed beauty.


    The beauty’s expression turned to one of alarm, and with a flick of her fragrant sleeve, a small green shield emerged.


    As it flickered in light, the shield grew significantly in size to block in front of her.


    Almost simultaneously, the giant sword in the air quickly chopped down.


    Spiritual spell might have been absorbed, but an attack with the body of a Spiritual Treasure would certainly not result in the same situation.


    This was the thought in the black-robed beauty’s mind at that instant.


    Indeed, as she imagined, when the giant sword struck the gray thread, it immediately caused the thread to pause, stopping it in its tracks.


    In her elation, she was about to activate the divine skills of the sword when the grey threads suddenly blurred, transforming into hundreds of grey threads.


    The threads twirled around, tightly ensnaring the giant sword.


    Then, a layer of eerie, ghostly light emerged on the threads.


    As soon as the red glow from the sword touched the ghostly light, they withered away.


    The surface of the giant sword started turning from red to black, as if it were being tainted.


    The woman surnamed Chang felt a connection with the sword, and her senses dulled.


    In that moment, the heart of the woman in black sank.


    Without further thought, she fiercely slapped her storage pouch, and a dharmic wheel-like treasure appeared in her hand.


    But before she could deploy it to free her flying sword, she suddenly heard a thunderclap beside her.


    A dazzling streak of golden lightning shot out, striking the giant sword.


    The sound of thunder roared as the grey threads were severed inch by inch in the golden light.


    The giant sword regained its freedom!


    “Thank you, brother Han, for your help!”


    The delighted woman hastened to express her gratitude, then pinched a spell incantation, and the flying sword immediately turned into three trails of red light that flew back and disappeared into her sleeve.


    After Han Li had struck to free her, he could not afford to be courteous with the woman, but instead, he fixed his gaze on the sky, his brows furrowing deeply.


    For at the low growl of the opposing corpse, the previously dispersed grey threads miraculously condensed back together, quickly returning to their original thread-like form.


    At that time, the other two corpses also swayed and walked over, ready to attack together.


    Seeing this scene, the woman in black’s expression could naturally not be pleasant, but after an extra glance at the grey threads, a sudden thought flashed across her mind.


    “Evil Soul Thread!


    These aren’t miasma; they are corpse evil Qi,” she exclaimed in disbelief, her face turning pale.


    “Corpse evil Qi?”


    Han Li found the name somewhat familiar.


    After a bit of thought, he recalled the Great Development Technique he had read not long ago that mentioned this term.


    Upon recalling the related description, his expression immediately darkened.


    This was one of the Ghost Path’s great divine powers, rarely known among cultivators.


    Corpse evil Qi, as the name suggested, was originally qi.


    It was not ordinary qi but something peculiar formed when a person who harbored evil Qi died, and before the qi dispersed completely, it merged with corpse Qi.


    It was said to be extremely difficult to form, requiring at least a body of a Core Formation cultivator and many other unknown conditions to coincidentally take shape.


    However, once corpse evil Qi formed, it could neither be killed nor destroyed, and it could absorb the Five Elements Spiritual Energy and defile various magic treasures and tools, making it one of the top-tier divine powers of the Ghost Path.


    As for Evil Soul Thread, although he had not heard of it, it seemed to be a divine skill executed using this corpse evil Qi, which explained why it was so troublesome.


    It seemed that even his Devilbane Lightning, which could disperse the substance, could not completely extinguish it.


    As Han Li quickly sorted through his thoughts, the three corpses stretched their hands at the same time, bending and flicking their fingers, shooting grey threads from their fingertips.


    The woman in black took a deep breath, raised the dharmic wheel in her hand, while muttering spell incantations.


    The dharmic wheel spun in the air and suddenly emitted a Rainbow Spirit Light, forming a light barrier that enveloped both her and Han Li.


    “Rainbow Spirit Light!


    A Buddhist treasure!”


    Originally, Han Li was about to raise his hand, his hands already shimmering with golden electric arcs, but upon seeing this, his action halted, a trace of surprise crossing his face.


    The Evil Soul Threads were incredibly fast, instantly striking the Rainbow Spirit Light, but they were blocked outside without puncturing it.


    Han Li was not surprised; after all, Buddhist cultivation arts naturally counteracted Ghost Path divine skills, so even though the Evil Soul Threads were sharp, they wouldn’t be able to break through the Buddhist Spirit Light immediately.


    However, it was indeed surprising that this woman, being an elder of the Devilcharm Sect, possessed a Buddhist treasure.


    As the three corpses saw that the Evil Soul Threads were ineffective, they did not cease their efforts but instead shook their fingers rapidly, conjuring numerous grey threads that enveloped and layered upon the Rainbow Spirit Light, seemingly determined to trap the two completely.


    A cold light flashed in Han Li’s eyes as he rubbed his hands together and then simultaneously lifted them.


    Two thick golden arcs sprayed from his palms, striking the light barrier.


    A crackling sound ensued, and a layer of golden electric net formed on the surface, instantly turning the grey threads outside into dust, vanishing into nothingness.


    Seeing this, the three corpses seemed unconcerned, their hands continuously shooting forth new Evil Soul Threads, the dispersed grey Qi also regenerating.


    “Fellow Daoist Chang, let’s get out of here!” Han Li briefly stated.


    As the rumblings of thunder erupted, a pair of silver wings suddenly emerged behind him.


    The woman in black, who was initially shocked and about to dissuade him, upon seeing Han Li’s transformation, swallowed her words and pinpointed a spot on the light barrier, immediately creating a slender crack.


    Simultaneously, with a flap of his silver wings, Han Li disappeared into a streak of silver light.


    The Three Corpses, being spiritually wise, paused instinctively, their gaze wandering left and right.


    But in the next moment, a few meters behind them, a silver arc flashed, and Han Li reappeared.


    The Three Corpses, without hesitation, flicked their fingers, sending tens of grey threads shooting straight towards Han Li.


    Han Li did not evade, but instead opened his mouth and shot out three beams of golden light, directly attacking the three corpses.
