Chapter 272 - Ownership

        Usually, I have only seen Siye absorbing the earth's energy.

    "He inhaled at this time, but it was the Yang Qi!"

    White fog visible to the naked eye, as if a human shape, from nine old man's head was pulled out!

    The white, human-shaped fog appeared in threads, and it seemed imminent that it would be engulfed by Siye.

    However, the talisman on Siye's chest suddenly spread out, like a crackle, emitting a faint yellow glow!

    The crackling sound continued in succession, sparks exploded from Siye's chest!

    Siye's body began to crack...

    Before he could swallow the white gas into his mouth, it had been completely ground into fine powder and disappeared!

    "Hmph."

    The Ninth Elder shook his hand, as if to shake off dust.

    In front of him, it was completely empty!

    My body was completely stiff.

    The strength I had to support myself and get up suddenly vanished as if it had never been there.

    Siye...

    How could he be so easily defeated?

    No, it's not that he was easily defeated; it's that the Ninth Elder's overwhelming power left him with no room to resist.

    "A piece of night travel spirit from a small area, not the true form, and dared to absorb the true Yin energy of the path. The tone of the Ninth Elder was full of sarcasm and arrogance."

    My heartbeat fell half a beat again.

    A small area?

    A piece of?

    That's right, the city god temple is not just one.

    Then Siye must not just be one.

    But listening to the Ninth Elder's words, Siye must indeed be one, but it has been divided into hundreds, even thousands, leaving behind a piece of their soul each, scattered in various city god temples.

    But Siye of Jin Yang was scattered by him!

    During this time, the Ninth Elder lowered his head, and the mask with the skeleton painted on it faced me once more.

    The cold and lifeless aura enveloped my body once again.

    "Hmm?"

    The Ninth Elder suddenly made a grab with his hand!

    I felt a huge force, as if it was grabbing my chest.

    A sound like "puff" broke the air, and a hole appeared in my chest.

    A small package that I had tightly wrapped up was grabbed and taken out, falling into the Ninth Elder's hands.

    He trembled his hand and the package fell apart.

    Exposed to view were a bundle of flags and a dart.

    Eight banners and a Soul Pen!

    The Ninth Elder took a deep breath, and the sound of his inhalation was as if to calm his mind.

    Yet, sorrow still emanated from him.

    "If you don't say who is behind you, I'll just assume that I have no way out?"

    The Ninth Elder whispered in a sorrowful manner.

    His hand grabbed my neck fiercely once again!

    The invisible pulling force lifted my body abruptly, and before my throat was pinched, I already felt the suffocation!

    The feeling of fear was almost swallowing me up.

    There are many ways to ask questions.

    Soul extraction, soul drawing, and killing to seize the soul.

    He may not be able to pull out my soul.

    At the brink of death, the earth's energy will definitely appear...

    Although Siye is currently disintegrated, this place is extremely enclosed.

    But I still don't know where Sun Zhuo is.

    Beside me, there is Han Qu who is bound by talismans, and a female Taoist who is unconscious.

    Even if the earth energy can deal with the Ninth Elder, should I silence them?

    If I did that, what is the difference between me and Sun Zhuo?

    In that moment, I exerted all my strength and retrieved the last item!

    Lao Qin left me the final card, that finger!

    The Ninth Elder made a light "hmm" sound, and his hand suddenly reached forward, grabbing my throat, while the other hand grabbed for the item in my hand!

    I moved faster.

    I bit directly into the finger!

    The hard bite made the originally icy finger seem to tremble like a living person's finger.

    A faintly salty taste, warm and flowing out.

    Mixed with the blood in my mouth, the taste is even more pungent, giving people a sense of nausea.

    The Ninth Elder's two hands respectively grabbed my throat and squeezed the finger!

    He pulled it out with force!

    I clenched my teeth tightly, preventing him from pulling out the finger, but my front teeth throbbed painfully, as if they were about to be pulled off.

    The mist rose again.

    It was still white mist!

    However, there were strands of green in the white mist.

    That deep green, made the heart nearly suffocate.

    "Hmm?!"

    The Ninth Elder's tone became one of surprise and doubt.

    He suddenly loosened his grip on the finger, forming a palm, and struck my chest!

    At the same time, he also released my throat.

    There was a dull thud, and after I was hit, I "ah" spat out another mouthful of blood.

    Likewise, the finger was spat out as well.

    He forcefully pushed me backward, causing me to roll several times as I fell, landing in a heap and causing myself to fall over like a turtle on its back.

    A slight grunt, as if in pain…

    But it wasn't the Ninth Elder's, it was a woman.

    I took deeper, more urgent breaths and my eyes widened in shock.

    I struggled to raise my body and stared fixedly at the Ninth Elder's position.

    The mist had not become thick enough to make it impossible to see one's hands in front of one's face.

    I could see the female Taoist lying on the ground, and I could see Han Qu, who was bound by talismans, in the distance.

    And the same, I could also see the Ninth Elder.

    The Ninth Elder's hand was holding a finger.

    No, not just one finger!

    A woman with a very slender figure stood in front of the Ninth Elder, her hand grabbed.

    The clothes were somewhat loose, not very tight-fitting, but somewhat familiar.

    It's my own clothes!

    Another painful "hm" sound emerged, spreading and dissipating through the mist, carried very far away.

    "What the hell are you?"

    The Ninth Elder's words were filled with shock and anger.

    "Pain..."

    The woman's voice was full of emptiness and confusion.

    That hollow emotion, that hollow tone, was too familiar!

    My brain also went blank.

    How could this be possible?

    The mist had become thicker, obscuring my vision by seven or eight parts.

    "You... made me... so painful..."

    The hollow tone had a quivering quality.

    I sensed something different.

    It's emotion!

    Originally, her hollowness was completely dead silence with no emotions.

    But now, the emotion is a thread of anger...

    A loud slap!

    It sounded like a slap hitting something.

    I couldn't see what the Ninth Elder had done.

    In the end, there was no sound.

    The only thing my ears could hear was the sound of fists and palms hitting flesh!

    I managed to recover a bit of mobility, trembling as I stood up and stumbled forward in the direction of my previous line of sight!

    A rumble, as if something was rolling over.

    I looked alertly and saw a red and white night jar, and Lao Gong's head was rolling along with the night jar. His eyes were still shocked.

    I suddenly stopped, grabbed the night jar, and hung it at my waist.

    Lao Gong coughed and gasped repeatedly.

    His voice was quite sharp.

    "Had it! Had it!"

    "She... has her own things now!"

    "But... something's not right..."

    Lao Gong's voice cut off abruptly. His eyes widened, and he stared at me straightly.

    Lao Gong's words were too vague, too pointless, and I couldn't understand them at all.

    "Grandpa, don't go over there..."

    Lao Gong's tone changed again, trembling as if he had discovered something terrifying...

    Suddenly, a gust of wind came from the front.

    My body tightened instantly, and I wanted to retreat!
