Volume 1: The Decline of the Yue Family Chapter 52 You Want to Take My Place at the Third Watch

  In front of a fifth-level magician and two Dou Wang experts, the mercenaries were like ants, with no strength to resist. Yang Gang was killed by the Dou Wang wearing a yellow shirt in one move. The difference between Dou Wang and Dou Ling was too great, it was simply a massacre.

  Yue Cheng stood behind Yao Xuan, not daring to make any sudden movements. He had already thought of several ways to escape, but none of them seemed feasible. Even if he were to ride his sword and flee, he couldn't guarantee that his speed would be enough to outrun the other party. After all, they had a level 5 wind system magician, who was known for their speed.

  "Take care of yourself, Xiao Lin." Yao Xuan slowly let out a sigh and then lifted her head to gaze coldly at the old man in blue: "I won't let you off."

  "I told you that you won't have the chance." The blue-robed old man gazed coldly at Yaoyuan, with their four-person team's strength, Yaoyuan absolutely couldn't escape.

  "Ha! You probably can't imagine that I've already reached the final stage of evolution, where I can switch souls and bodies." The demon Xuan smiled coldly, and immediately a strange white aura emanated from her body. Just as Yue Cheng was shocked, a strand of green aura suddenly drilled into his brow.

  "Hiss, you old thing, I'll be back for you!" Yue Cheng's body suddenly flew into the air, his figure turning into a flash of lightning.

  "Hurry up and stop her." The blue-robed old man stomped his foot in frustration, flapping his wings rapidly as he chased after Yue Cheng. He had never expected that Yao Xuan would evolve so quickly, nor that she would be willing to abandon her physical body - the impact on her was enormous. If they let Yao Xuan get away this time, the consequences would be disastrous.

  On the ground, the three people who were slaughtering the crowd suddenly saw a change and immediately jumped up to chase after Yue Cheng's escape direction. At this time, all the mercenaries had already been killed by the three of them, and only Xiaolin was left unscathed.

  Yue Cheng's body was flying rapidly in the air, but in fact, Yue Cheng was no longer Yue Cheng. His body was completely controlled by the soul of Yao Xuan. After a while, the four people who were chasing Yue Cheng had been left far behind and were nowhere to be seen. Yue Cheng's face was also pale.

  "Hiss" Yue Cheng turned his head to take a look behind him, and then his body suddenly rushed into the undulating mountains below, where there were towering trees with lush foliage. Once inside, finding someone would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

  Perhaps due to the prolonged flight, Yue Cheng's body fell into the mountains and crashed onto a mountain slope, losing consciousness. Not long after, the four pursuers flew over Yue Cheng's location and soon disappeared into the distance.

  It wasn't long before Yue Cheng slowly opened his eyes and looked at everything in front of him, muttering: "How did I end up here."

  Yue Cheng patted his forehead, recalling the events that had occurred earlier. He remembered only seeing a wisp of green smoke from the demon's sleeve enter his brow, and then he immediately lost consciousness. He muttered to himself again: "So I was possessed after all."

  Body snatching was crystal clear to Yue Cheng, it's when a person's soul forcibly enters another person's body, this is called body snatching. However, this is also an extremely dangerous thing, the person doing the body snatching must have an incredibly strong soul power. If the person being body snatched has stronger soul power than the one doing the body snatching, then they will be counter-snatched and annihilated.

  Yue Cheng sat cross-legged, checking if there were any changes within his body. After a moment, Yue Cheng's expression became exceptionally solemn. It turned out that in his mind, a huge green awn was lurking, which did not belong to him but was the soul of Yao Xuan.

  Yao Xuan's soul had been severely damaged beforehand, and after leaving his body for a long time, he seemed extremely weak now, so Yue Cheng was able to regain control of his body and wake up again. Otherwise, Yue Cheng would have almost been possessed by Yao Xuan.

  "Yao Xuan is not human after all." Yue Cheng only now felt the aura emanating from Yao Xuan's soul, which was not human at all, but rather that of a demonic beast. From this aura, Yue Cheng sensed that Yao Xuan's true form was actually an extremely powerful and abnormal demonic beast.

  "Want to seize my body, look for death." Yue Cheng muttered in his heart, just now he was careless and let Yao Xuan enter his body. If he had been on guard, Yao Xuan wouldn't have been able to enter his body, let alone seize it from him.

  Yue Cheng took a deep breath, and immediately formed a strange handprint in his hand. A strand of green aura slowly gathered in his mind, wrapping around the green aura that was lurking nearby.

  "Little one, what do you want to do." Lu Mang had already been startled awake by Yue Cheng, and Yao Xuan's voice echoed in Yue Cheng's mind. Her soul was within Yue Cheng's mind, and Yue Cheng's thoughts could not escape her soul's detection.

  "You want to take my life, I naturally won't let you have your way." Yue Cheng's voice also said in his mind, at this time the two were completely communicating with their souls.

  "With your cultivation, you think you can do anything to me?" You Xuan said.

  "Let's try it out then." With someone else's soul power inside him, Yue Cheng naturally wouldn't be able to sleep soundly. The green aura in his mind slowly enveloped the blue aura, and Yue Cheng planned to devour Yao Xuan's soul power, which would bring him many benefits.

  "Hiss" A strand of spiritual energy entwined in Yue Cheng's mind, and for a moment, neither could gain the upper hand. Although Yue Cheng only had mid-stage Open Enlightenment cultivation, his spiritual energy far exceeded that realm. Adding to this was the existence of his previous life's thousand-year cultivation realm. You Xuan's cultivation was strong, but her soul had suffered severe damage, and due to some other special reasons, the two souls' contest became a stalemate.

  Yue Cheng's expression turned grave, he hadn't expected that Ya Xuan's soul was even stronger than his own. If it weren't for the fact that Ya Xuan's soul was still in a weakened state, he would have been no match for her. It seemed that he had to take advantage of the time before Ya Xuan's soul recovered and eliminate her, otherwise it would be too late.

  Yao Xuan did not seem to have expected that Yue Cheng's soul would be so powerful. She had originally planned to control Yue Cheng's body until her own soul recovered, and then leave. If she had known that Yue Cheng's soul was so strong, she would not have dared to hide her own soul in his body, lest she be swallowed up by him.

  The two of them were entangled in a death grip, neither daring to relax, both clearly aware that if one of them lost, the outcome would be annihilation, their soul directly devoured by the other, with no chance for their soul to escape and possess someone else.

  Three days later, both Yue Cheng and Yao Xuan's souls began to weaken slightly. The two were still evenly matched, with Yao Xuan occupying a place in Yue Cheng's mind that he couldn't shake off, while Yue Cheng was also unable to do anything about Yao Xuan for the time being.
