Chapter 23: The Soul-Capturing Technique

  One day, Ye Feng didn't rush to seek justice for Wang Hailong. Instead, he seized every opportunity to collect souls. By the end of the day, he had collected a total of twenty-five souls, which was more than double his previous average of ten souls per day.

  Ye Feng currently has 35 points of soul value available for use.

  Before going to bed, Ye Feng couldn't help but turn his head and take a look at him as he passed by Da Ge's bedside.

  Dage naturally also saw Ye Feng looking at him, but in front of Ye Feng, he still can't get hard, and doesn't dare to stare at Ye Feng for too long. However, it seems that in order not to lose face in front of the other old ghost brothers, he deliberately glared at Ye Feng with a high-pitched tone: "What are you looking at, damn it."

  His words sounded fierce, but in reality, he was out of breath. Ye Feng smiled and leaned close to his bed, speaking in a tone that only he could hear clearly: "Do you still remember what I told you before? I said that Wang Hailong's ghost would one day come back to haunt you. Tonight is a dark and starless night, perfect for a ghost to return and seek revenge. You should be mentally prepared."

  As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, Dao Ge's face immediately turned white. However, Ye Feng didn't bother with him anymore and chuckled twice before turning back to his own bed.

  Tonight is indeed a dark and starry night, whether there are really ghosts in the world or not, Yang Ye Feng is uncertain, but Knife Brother will definitely not be able to escape his Soul Capture Technique tonight.

  Ye Feng waited until most people fell asleep, only a few were still awake, when he decided to use the Soul Capture Technique on Knife Brother again.

  Dage, perhaps because of what Yefeng said earlier, although his eyes were closed, from his heartbeat and breathing, Yefeng could confirm that he was still awake.

  Ye Feng connected with the spatial law through his consciousness and proposed exchanging ten points of soul value for a single use of the Soul Capture Technique.

  Soon, Ye Feng felt that the 35 points of soul value accumulated today were reduced by 10 points. Immediately after, he felt a sudden heat in his dantian, where the internal energy was rapidly circulating. In just about three seconds, it condensed into a strand of true yuan.

  That's right, it is indeed a strand of true yuan. Although there is only one strand, it is enough for Ye Feng to use the Soul Capture Technique once.

  At this point, Ye Feng finally understood that after the law exchanged soul value for true yuan, it converted the energy of the soul value into relative true yuan, allowing him to cast a spell at once in a short period of time. The amount of true yuan and the number of times and duration of casting spells depend on how much four-value quota he can exchange.

  But there is one thing, this true yuan cannot be stored, and if it is not used, it will disappear quickly.

  This is the law of power set by the Tianyuan True Immortal, mysterious, powerful, terrifying, overbearing and full of unknowns.

  To cast the primary soul-capturing spell, one must make eye contact with the target first. Thus, Ye Feng could only helplessly get out of bed again and slowly walk to the bedside of Knife Brother.

  The cell was somewhat dim after the lights were turned off, but Ye Feng's eyesight far surpassed that of ordinary people. With the moonlight from outside, he could see Knife Brother's current state very clearly. He lay on his bed, tightly covering himself with the quilt, his body curled up and slightly trembling.

  Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh. Having done too many things that pricked his conscience, he was naturally afraid of ghosts knocking on the door at midnight. Before he had even used his Soul Capturing Technique on him, Ye Xiu had already begun to feel uneasy.

  Ye Feng didn't know if it was the previous threatening words that took effect, or if Knife Brother himself had worn away too much of his ferocity and courage in this stifling and oppressive prison life, but he could clearly feel Knife Brother's fear and cowardice.

  Ye Feng coughed lightly, and Knife Brother immediately opened his eyes. He sat up, looking at Ye Feng with a complex expression on his face - there was repression, shock, anger, and unwillingness. He felt that Ye Feng's provocation was too direct, making it impossible for him to save face. In his heart, he really wanted to have a fair fight with Ye Feng, but he didn't dare.

  The several old devils by the side of Daoge's bed also opened their eyes, but did not get up. At least Daoge still had some guts to call out to Ye Feng, but they didn't have that kind of courage at all.

  "It's too hot, I couldn't sleep, so I got up to clear my head. Sorry to disturb your sweet dreams."

  Then Ye Feng quickly locked eyes with Dao Ge and cast a soul-capturing spell on him.

  Then, the rest of the things didn't need Ye Feng to worry about. The Soul Capturing Technique was based on Ye Feng's thoughts to create illusions and hallucinations for his opponent. In Ye Feng's mind, he imagined Wang Hailong transforming into a fierce ghost and coming back to demand his life from Knife Brother. So, in Knife Brother's consciousness, such an illusion would definitely appear.

  Ye Feng quickly returned to his own bed, lay down, and in less than a minute, he heard Knife Brother's loud cry of "Ah", filled with fear and panic.

  Ye Feng turned to look, and Knife Brother had already jumped down from the bed, his eyes wide open, his mouth agape, saliva dripping out, his chest heaving violently, clearly having been frightened to the extreme.

  At this time many people had been awakened and sat up in bed, several even jumped down from the kang, wanting to go help Dagou.

  Ke Dao Ge pretended to be crazy, waving his hands wildly and shouting in a trembling voice: "You get out, go...get out, it wasn't me who killed you, don't look for me, don't look for me!"

  He backed away slowly, his body shaking more and more violently until he reached the door of the cell.

  The room was relatively dimly lit, and except for Ye Feng, who could see everything clearly, everyone else could only make out the general outline.

  Someone said: "Don't move, Knife Brother, maybe he's just having a nightmare. Wait a while and it'll be fine."

  "Some people also said: 'I don't think so, I was very close to him just now and clearly saw that Knife Brother's eyes were open.'"

  At this moment, the knife brother at the door suddenly knelt down and knocked his head violently towards the air, and soon blood flowed from his forehead. He shouted while knocking his head: "Wang Hailong, Brother Hailong, I really didn't mean to force you like that, I was blinded by that damned woman, Brother Hailong, I was wrong, please spare me, I'm not human, I'm a beast, ahah... Don't come over, don't come over, what do you want to do? Ahah, I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

  Dage's voice grew more mournful and shrill, echoing far away on this dull night in the detention center, finally attracting the attention of the police.

  Many people in the cell were stunned, and everyone seemed to have sensed something was off, especially after hearing Knife Brother shout out "Wang Hailong" those three words. Ye Feng could clearly see that many people's faces turned pale, including the police who arrived later, whose face also turned pale after opening the emergency light and seeing Knife Brother's "pitiful state".

  At this time, Dage was curled up on the ground, saying in his mouth: "Hailong brother, I was wrong, I shouldn't have forced you to death, I should die, I'm a beast, just spare me."

  He kept repeating those few words, the police pulled him hard but couldn't pull him up, and if they pulled too tight, he would scratch their faces fiercely.

  Several more police officers arrived one after another, and it took several people working together to finally lift Knife Brother onto the stretcher.

  Throughout the whole process, Daoge kept repeating those few words. By this time, whether it was the people in the detention room or the police who rushed over, everyone heard clearly that Wang Hailong's real cause of death was also made public at this time.

  Ye Feng only asked to bring justice to the deceased Wang Hailong, and did not demand that the police do anything to Knife Brother based on just these few words. After all, Wang Hailong had committed suicide, even if it was under pressure from Knife Brother's lust, intimidation, and coercion, but in the end, Knife Brother had not actually laid a hand on him.

  Seeing Knife Brother being tormented, Ye Feng thought it was enough, so he wanted to withdraw the Soul Capturing Technique. However, as soon as he turned his mind, Ye Feng was stunned - the primary Soul Capturing Technique could only be released and not withdrawn. Once it was cast out, unless time was consumed, it couldn't be actively eliminated.

  Only after mastering the intermediate soul-capturing technique could Ye Feng control it at will.

  This way, Ye Feng was also helpless and could only watch to see if Knife Brother could hold on for the remaining twenty or so minutes.

  The police inquired of the people in the detention room, but no one could say what had happened to Knife Brother.

  Helpless, a policeman said: "If not, take compulsory measures, tie him up and carry him away, send him to the hospital overnight.

  The police were so anxious because at this time, Knife Brother's condition had become even more unbearable. He grasped his own neck with both hands, foaming at the mouth and making low, hoarse roars, his face turned from white to green, and his body convulsed uncontrollably on the dragon plate.

  Seeing him in such a miserable state, for some reason, Ye Feng suddenly felt very pleased and relieved.

  But it wasn't long before something happened that made Ye Feng feel uncomfortable.

  Just as the police were about to take coercive measures against Knife Brother, Knife Brother, who had been lying on the stretcher and screaming convulsively, suddenly stopped moving.
