Chapter 308: Face Slapping

Pain!

So much pain!

Bai Qiulan floated in the air, as runes surged rapidly into her body, causing her soul and flesh to separate.

Bai Qiulan knew that the Nine Li Soul Stealing Technique was painful, but she never expected it to hurt this much.

Still, she could hang in there!

The Nine Li Soul Stealing Technique that she taught was right; Yue Hongling wasn’t an idiot.

Of course, Bai Qiulan wasn’t an idiot either.

She could never let Yue Hongling control her completely because she had the Taiyin Bone Bug.

The Nine Li Soul Stealing Technique was directly executed within Bai Qiulan’s soul, and if she wanted to resist, she just had to rely on the Taiyin Bone Bug’s help to avoid it.

Yue Hongling wouldn’t know about this.

Bai Qiulan knew that Yue Hongling was kind and she couldn’t say anything against her master, plus Yue Hongling couldn’t comprehend her good intentions, so she could only stabilize her with this method.

Otherwise, Yue Hongling would really self-destruct.

She might not last until the day Lu Ye forgives her.

She absolutely couldn’t let Yue Hongling self-destruct!

She didn’t believe that Yue Hongling would actually disregard her master!

After a long time, the Nine Li Soul Stealing Technique was completed.

At that moment, Yue Hongling clearly felt she had taken control of Bai Qiulan, and with just a thought, her consciousness could forcefully occupy Bai Qiulan’s awareness.

She could also subtly alter Bai Qiulan’s thoughts.

Evil techniques were truly terrifying.

However, such evil techniques were extremely difficult to execute; they were very likely to fail at the very beginning.

Last time Bai Qiulan targeted her, it was during her crazed state, and she managed to get through the initial phase. Now that Bai Qiulan had no resistance at all, she completed it.

Being able to control two people was impressive enough; it consumed a lot of mental energy.

A light shone in Yue Hongling’s eyes.

She had really controlled Bai Qiulan.

Had Bai Qiulan really realized her mistake?

No, certainly not!

She was just worried that if she died, nobody would help her absorb the Chaos Yin Poison.

Madness glimmered in Yue Hongling’s eyes.

The turbulent aura within her began to calm down as she fixed her gaze on Bai Qiulan.

“Kneel!”

Bai Qiulan’s expression shifted instantly.

A disciple commanding her master to kneel?

With the exertion of the Nine Li Soul Stealing Technique, though Bai Qiulan was unwilling, she still knelt on the ground under the technique’s influence.

Yue Hongling took a deep breath, looking at the kneeling Bai Qiulan, her expression changing yet ultimately not backing down, letting Bai Qiulan remain on her knees in front of her.

“Slap yourself!”

Yue Hongling gritted her teeth.

“Hongling!”

Bai Qiulan’s eyes were full of pleading as her hand lifted.

“Slap!”

“Smack!”

Bai Qiulan’s hand ruthlessly struck her own face.

Yue Hongling closed her eyes.

Without a doubt, at that moment, her heart was both thrilled and tormented.

But Bai Qiulan’s wrongdoing certainly demanded punishment, and a severe one at that; otherwise, how could she ease the resentment in her heart?

Bai Qiulan kept slapping her own face, each smack hard, and soon her face was a swollen mess.

Inside, Bai Qiulan was filled with disbelief and rage.

She was Bai Qiulan’s master; how could she do this? How could she?

Yes, she had been a bit excessive earlier, but that didn’t give Yue Hongling the right to humiliate her like this.

Bai Qiulan also knew that Yue Hongling could sense her emotions as she attempted to disguise them.

But that feeling of rage couldn’t be faked; she had never felt such humiliation in her life.

Before, no matter how vicious Yue Hongling was, she only used words to provoke and anger her.

But now…

Yue Hongling, are you really still the same Yue Hongling?

Bai Qiulan was furious; she even thought about transferring the Nine Li Soul Stealing Technique right back and controlling Yue Hongling.

But she couldn’t be sure if Lu Ye was still around.

Nor could she be certain whether she could subdue Yue Hongling instantly if she were bent on the self-destruct route.

Patience!

She had to endure!

Bai Qiulan kept reminding herself.

Yue Hongling listened to the continuous slapping and was filled with hatred.

She could sense the fury burning within Bai Qiulan’s soul.

As long as Bai Qiulan’s rage and humiliation remained unresolved, she would continue to punish her until Bai Qiulan truly understood her mistake!

Lu Ye had no idea that Yue Hongling and Bai Qiulan had devolved into this.

If he knew, his mood would certainly improve a notch.

Right now, he was in a particularly good mood.

Why? Just because he was strong enough!

At that moment, he single-handedly faced six formidable figures from the Heaven and Earth Realm; his unparalleled movement technique rendered his figure half-ethereal, flickering in and out of existence like a shadow.

A total of seven figures flashed through the heavens, the sword light rushing in all directions.

Four swords suddenly converged, three blades encircling one.

Four forces clashed rapidly, sending sparks flying, while the swords of the other three trembled uncontrollably, their bodies shaking in unison.

The sword light targeted his head.

A vertical pupil opened on Lu Ye’s forehead, unleashing a terrifying force.

The sword aimed at Lu Ye’s head immediately halted.

“What other tricks do you have?”

The other two powerful figures sliced at him simultaneously; one from the Realm of Domain, battling against six formidable figures from the Heaven and Earth Realm was simply insane.

But craziness suited them just fine; they could finally chop this damned guy down!

Suddenly, two arms appeared on either side of Lu Ye, both throwing punches.

“Boom!”

Two figures were sent flying.

What other tricks?

Plenty!

Six arms appeared at once, one wielding a sword, the others attacking with fists and palms.

One sword broke through three swords, as the four sword intents were redirected entirely to the Broken Life Sword Immortal.

Half of the Broken Life Sword Immortal’s body exploded, retreating in a frenzy.

“Bring more people!”

The Broken Life Sword Immortal bellowed.

Six weren’t enough, then eight, ten!

They didn’t believe that more people couldn’t surround and kill Lu Ye!

Three more joined the fray.

The pressure on Lu Ye reached an extreme, with sword lights howling and fists shattering the heavens.

But in just a moment, one of Lu Ye’s arms was severed.

“Don’t mind her, come at me!”

the Broken Life Sword Immortal roared.

Two more joined the battle.

“Without your formation, even if you’re strong, you’re still just one person; as long as you can’t suppress us, you’re dead!”

the Broken Life Sword Immortal screamed.

“Who said I’m just one person?” Lu Ye suddenly spoke.

Lin Chuyue, who had been watching, thought Lu Ye was referring to her and was about to join the battle.

Yun Tianjian’s figure appeared before Lin Chuyue.

“Fellow Daoist, this matter doesn’t concern you!”

“Get out of my way!”

Lin Chuyue shouted, the battle instantly igniting.

“Isn’t it no longer just you?” the Broken Life Sword Immortal said, his killing intent overflowing.

“I’m not talking about her!”

the Broken Life Sword Immortal???

At that moment, a second Lu Ye appeared.

Then a third Lu Ye appeared.

And a fourth Lu Ye appeared.
