Chapter 133: Counterattack

  Temple of the Corpse God.

  A Nameless Elder of the Corpse God Sect sat on a coffin, bitterly cultivating as he inhaled and exhaled the strange energy emanating from within.

  Yin Haixin's heart was uneasy, and his face, which was full of wrinkles, showed an anxious expression.

  "Yin Hai, quickly go to the 93rd burial ground, your two heavenly corpses, without anyone summoning them, actually slaughtered my sect's disciples." Suddenly, from the depths of the Corpse God Temple, came the hoarse voice of the Corpse God Sect's master.

  In the grand temple of the Corpse God, all the seated elders suddenly woke up and looked at Yin Hai with confusion.

  Yin Hai's face was gloomy as he knelt on the coffin and said, "I will go now."

  "Jing Song, you and Yin Hai go together and see what happened." The master of the Corpse God Sect ordered again.

  An elder beside Yīn Hǎi's coffin also knelt down and nodded his head, "Your subordinate obeys."

  "Go and figure out what's abnormal about those two heavenly corpses. Remember to report back as soon as possible."

  "Roger."

  On an iron boat.

  Shi Yan's four limbs pointed towards the sky, his expression weak, his hands and feet without any strength, only a faint ache in his tendons.

  His spiritual power was exhausted, and his body and mind were in a state of fatigue, with only the acupoints on his body still continuously purifying the incoming vital energy.

  This iron ship of yin and yang, has slowly sailed out of the burial ground, thousands of meters away, the stone rocks can still hear the terrified screams coming from the burial ground.

  Under the moonlight, the burial ground was still shrouded in fear.

  After boarding the ship, Shiyan's last spiritual power was injected into the Blood Pattern Ring, and the two Heavenly Corpses were ordered to massacre the island.

  Shi Yan didn't know how long his command could bind the two heavenly corpses, as long as this ship could safely leave the burial ground, he was satisfied.

  Xia Xinyan got on the iron boat and lost her trace, she should be busy steering.

  His limbs stretched out wide, Shi Yan gazed up at the starry sky, the twinkling stars' power pouring down, falling onto his body, gathering in his heart.

  It's a pity that I couldn't use the Stellar Martial Soul! Shi Yan sighed inwardly, feeling helpless.

  During this period, Xingchen Wuhun did not stop absorbing the power of the stars day and night. He could feel the starlight points in his heart at all times, and sense the unique powers hidden within them.

  Unfortunately, he never found a way to mobilize the Star Soul of Martial Arts.

  "Are you okay?" Xia Xinyan suddenly appeared and stood beside him, asking with concern.

  "For the time being, it's fine." Shi Yan smiled wryly and said after a moment of contemplation, "Go use the iron chain connected to the iron anchor to tie up my body, tie several rounds more."

  "Huh?"

  Xia Xinyan lightly gasped, her beautiful eyes full of surprise, "What do you want to do?"

  "The martial arts I used earlier are extremely unusual, and afterwards there will be a very strong backlash. Even... even the possibility of losing my sanity and falling into an insane state of madness exists. You must tie me up! Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll do something that will make you resent me for life." Shiyuan gazed deeply at her, his expression solemn.

  "What will you do?" Xia Xinyan's face changed slightly.

  "Do you still remember the scene when we first met?" Shi Yan took a deep breath, "At that time I was almost driven mad and had to go to the Smoke Rain Building immediately. If it weren't for those two courtesans who helped me vent my emotions, I don't know what would have happened."

  "I'll tie you up right now!"

  Xia Xinyan was very decisive. As soon as she realized the situation was not good, she hurried to the side of the boat and pulled over the iron chain lock on that side.

  A few minutes later.

  Shi Yan's entire body was bound by iron chains, those thick and thin iron lock chains, as if wrapped in a rice dumpling, tied him up tightly.

  The iron chain was pitch black and shiny, extremely heavy, and there was a strange chill emanating from the links.

  "This iron chain is forged from a special metal, extremely tough and durable. Even a warrior in the state of Nirvana may not be able to break it, so you can rest assured." Xia Xinyan wiped away the sweat on her forehead, looking a bit weak, and sat down cross-legged five meters in front of Shi Yan, her clear eyes staring straight at him.

  Inside the rocky body, all kinds of negative emotions overflowed in the cave, and his mind was corroded by violent and murderous thoughts as if they were poisonous.

  His eyes were full of murderous intent, his expression ferocious, and he was panting heavily. Shi Yan remained calm and said in a low voice, "So much the better."

  "Wasn't it the same last time at the Smoke and Rain Building, because of the backlash from your martial skills? Was it also like that at the Ling family?" Xia Xinyan's eyes seemed a bit unusual, and she said lightly: "Could it be that I misunderstood you earlier?"

  "Half and half, I suppose." Shi Yan smiled wryly. "The counter-attacking force within me will indeed destroy my willpower and infinitely amplify the negative aspects of my heart. However, those negative emotions are also a part of my true nature, only suppressed by reason in daily life. So overall, I'm still a bad person."

  Xia Xinyan was stunned.

  "Wait for a while until I regain my composure, and then come to me immediately." Shi Yan suddenly let out a low growl, his body slightly trembling.

  Inside the cave, the purification of Jingyuan accelerates, and all kinds of negative emotions begin to overflow uncontrollably, drilling into his mind.

  He was gradually losing control of himself.

  "Why?"

  "I will help you recover your martial soul!"

  "What? How is that possible?"

  "Remember what I said!"

  Shi Yan let out a loud roar, like a bloodthirsty beast, and suddenly stood up, his entire body's iron chains emitting a huge metallic sound.

  At this moment, Shi Yan's eyes no longer had a hint of human emotion, as if he was a bloodthirsty demon crawling out from the depths of hell. His body was filled with endless killing intent, as if he wanted to destroy the world and eliminate all living obstacles.

  Xia Xinyan's face changed slightly, and she took a few steps back, creating some distance between herself and Shi Yan.

  Just a moment ago, Shi Yan was still clear-headed and calm, but suddenly he transformed into a fierce beast, with a terrifying aura that made Xia Xinyan feel like she couldn't accept it. Looking at Shi Yan's current state, with his evil energy surging to the sky and his eyes gleaming with madness, Xia Xinyan finally realized that Shi Yan was not joking.

  It turns out... this guy's physical strength can indeed destroy his willpower and turn him into a self-aware killing demon.

  On the deck, the stone rock wrapped in iron chains, looked up at the sky and let out a fierce howl, with a burst of energy that seemed to want to squeeze out every last bit of strength from its body, as if to break free from the shackles of the iron chains.

  A loud howl echoed through the silent sea, extremely terrifying.

  Xia Xinyan's eyes shone with a strange light, staring at him unwaveringly, looking at the crazy Shi Yan in this moment, her expression was complex.

  For a long time.

  The howling of the stone rock gradually weakened, and its strength seemed to be slowly exhausted. Its whole body was weak, its voice hoarse and limp on the ground, twitching slightly from time to time.

  His body's bloodlust and mad killing intent, unable to be satisfied and released, those negative powers destroyed his body, causing his skin to crack open and flesh to split, with fresh blood flowing out, making him look extremely pitiful.

  A bellyful of bloodthirsty, brutal and ferocious power, hurting others and oneself, unable to be released from the body, will harm oneself.

  After the rampage, Shi Yan's already weak body suffered an even heavier backlash, turning him into a mass of flesh and blood, with his tendons and bones seemingly severely injured.

  He became a blood-soaked rock, his eyes still hadn't cleared up, and he was still emitting an aura of death.

  Xia Xinyan was shocked in her heart.

  The vitality displayed by the stone rock is too strong and fierce! After such a crazy roar, his body was already bloody and bruised, but his bloodthirsty and warlike mind remained unwavering!

  What kind of martial skill is this, how can it have such a terrifying side effect?

  Xia Xinyan was shocked, and she felt that Shi Yan's body was full of endless mystery, like a deep pool of water, and no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't see what other secrets were hidden beneath.

  The sound of the stone is weak and has no energy.

  Gradually, he could no longer howl out loud, the crazed look in his eyes slowly faded away, and he began to gradually regain his clarity.

  "Come on, come here..." Shi Yan opened his mouth wide, his voice buzzing like a mosquito flying around, small but deadly, yet he persisted in looking at Xia Xinyan.

  At this moment, Shi Yan seemed like a blood man, with a ferocious and painful expression, but he kept staring at her, remembering the things that helped her heal and recover.

  Xia Xinyan's heart lake suddenly rippled with layered waves, and her beautiful eyes flashed with an unusual color. She slowly walked towards the stone rock and said softly: "Okay, rest well, I'm not in a hurry, from now on, I'll be responsible for protecting you! Don't worry, just rest well, don't mind me, okay?"

  Xia Xinyan has never been as gentle as she is now.

  "No, missed now, I can't help you." Shi Yan struggled, his shoulder skin cracked open, but one hand trembled and stretched out, shouting: "Grab my hand! Quick!"

  Xia Xinyan was stunned and subconsciously grasped Shi Yan's bloody hand.

  A thread of strange power, like a gentle stream of jade liquid, slowly flowed out from the palm of Shi Yan's bloody hand... The strange power poured into Xia Xinyan's arm, all the way along her arm and into her chest, gathering at the center where her reincarnated martial soul was stirring, like the warmest **, slowly nourishing that spot.

  Xia Xinyan's slender body trembled, and her eyes burst forth with an unbelievable aura.

  She clearly sensed that under the nourishment of that strange power, her damaged Wheel of Soul was recovering at an unbelievable speed!

  That strange power is even more miraculous than the medicinal effect of the Supplementing Heaven Pill!

  A blood-soaked Shi Yan burst out laughing, his smile quite unsightly. "How's that? Didn't I tell you?"

  "No, you didn't deceive me." Xia Xinyan's voice was gentle and calm, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a hint of unusual light, staring blankly at Shiyan who looked like a blood-soaked rock, as if she was infatuated.

  "Alright, take your time to catch your breath. By dawn, you should be back to normal." Shi Yan withdrew his hand and smiled: "The rest is up to you now."

  "As long as I'm alive, no one will ever hurt you." Xia Xinyan nodded gently and said softly, "You take care of yourself too."

  Shi Yan slowly closed his eyes and slumped to the ground, as if he had fainted.

  His body, which had been torn apart, was now beginning to stir with the unyielding martial spirit. It quietly began to repair his body... Before long, there was no longer any fresh blood flowing out of his body, and the wounds that had split open were healing at a visible rate. His cells were dividing and reorganizing, and his severe injuries were quickly becoming minor ones. Xia Xinyan did not immediately rest, but instead looked at him with concern etched on her face, her expression tinged with an unusual emotion.

  About ten minutes later, when she found Shi Yan's body gradually recovering and a strange power flowing inside his body, Xia Xinyan finally put her mind at ease. She leaned against Shi Yan and sat down on the deck beside him, closing her beautiful eyes to calm her breath and recover.
