The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

Li Qing carefully guided the Soul-Severing Blade, gradually approaching the long-hidden imprint of the martial arts technique.

The entire cutting process is undoubtedly an extreme test of skill and will, and its complexity and danger are staggering.

In this mysterious and unpredictable realm of the soul, every slight fluctuation may lead to irreversible consequences, damaging Zhou Yu's soul foundation. At the very least, his cultivation will regress, and at worst, his soul will be destroyed.

Therefore, every step of the operation is of great importance and no mistakes can be made.

Even though Li Qing has profound attainments in the way of spirit and soul, he still has to concentrate at this moment.

His eyes revealed an almost pious concentration, and the magic weapon in his hand, under the urging of his spiritual consciousness, seemed to have turned into the sharpest blade in the world, but he controlled it with indescribable delicacy and caution, slowly shuttling through Zhou Yu's intricate soul network.

Every time the blade touches the imprint of the martial arts technique, it is a great challenge to Li Qing's spirit and character. He must ensure that every bit of power is output just right while avoiding causing unnecessary damage to the surrounding souls.

During this process, Li Qing knew that "cutting the Gordian knot" was the best option. It was a direct way to pursue efficiency and reduce Zhou Yu's pain.

However, faced with such a delicate and high-risk operation, in order to avoid mistakes, he chose a safer path - taking his time and doing a good job.

But this is like cutting flesh with a blunt knife, almost a kind of torture on the soul.

This process was undoubtedly a mental torture for Zhou Yu.

His soul seemed to be placed in a silent storm, and every cut was accompanied by violent tremors and pain.

But in this pain, there is also hope - through Li Qing's efforts, Zhou Yu may be able to break free from the shackles of the Heart-Eating Demon and usher in the dawn of a new life.

Although it seems cruel, it is also a protection for Zhou Yu's life safety.

For Li Qing, choosing Zhou Yu as a test subject was so that he could continuously accumulate experience in practice and perfect his own secret technique.

He knew very well that every slow cut was a profound understanding and mastery of the structure of the soul, and a precise polishing of his control capabilities.

Only through countless attempts can one truly master this secret method.

During the operation, Zhou Yu's experience was indeed not as easy as he had imagined.

Cutting off the inner demon's mark on the soul is an extremely painful and complicated process. Even with the help of the Soul Cleansing Liquid, it can only alleviate the pain to a certain extent, but cannot completely eliminate it.

As the Soul-Severing Blade and the Soul-Clearing Spirit Liquid, which were loaded with the power of the soul, slowly penetrated into the depths of Zhou Yu's soul, the first thing he felt was a biting chill, as if tens of millions of ice needles were piercing his soul at the same time.

The chill spread rapidly, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.

But then, an even stronger pain came over him. It was the deep-rooted power of the inner demon imprinted in his soul that was resisting and trying to stop the cutting.

On his Nascent Soul face, Zhou Yu clenched his teeth, trying to stay awake and calm.

When the Soul-Severing Blade controlled by Li Qing fell, he could feel that his soul seemed to be torn apart. Every cut was accompanied by severe pain, like a knife cutting and fire burning.

Ahhhh! !

This kind of pain was beyond anything Zhou Yu had ever experienced before. It was almost unbearable for him and he let out a scream of agony.

However, at this moment, the Soul-Clearing Liquid began to take effect.

It was like a clear spring, flowing slowly through Zhou Yu's Nascent Soul, bringing a sense of coolness and relief.

Although this force could not completely eliminate the pain, it reduced its intensity to a certain extent, allowing Zhou Yu to catch his breath.

Li Qing was concentrating on controlling the Soul-Severing Blade. His spiritual power was closely integrated with the Soul-Severing Blade, cutting Zhou Yu's Nascent Soul.

Whenever Zhou Yu was about to give up, he would drip a drop of soul-clearing liquid into Zhou Yu's Nascent Soul to relieve his pain.

The process was long and difficult, and every cut was accompanied by Zhou Yu's soul trembling and wailing violently.

But Zhou Yu knew that this was the only way to free himself from the control of the inner demon, so he endured the pain and silently cooperated with the operations of the owner of the Shadow Tower.

Although the pain still existed, he could already feel his mind gradually regaining clarity.

Li Qing's techniques gradually became more precise and swift. Relying on his profound cultivation and precise control of the Soul-Severing Blade, he became more and more adept at cutting.

As for Zhou Yu, he seemed to be slowly adapting to the cutting of Li Qing's Soul Slasher, or perhaps he had become numb.

But no matter what, relying solely on the Soul-Clearing Liquid, he demonstrated extraordinary willpower.

Li Qing is bold in speaking, this person will definitely achieve great things in the future!

As time went by, the demon mark on Zhou Yu's soul was gradually cut away until only a trace of soul was left attached to the mark.

With the precise stroke of the sharp blade in Li Qing's hand, the demon seed that had been bothering Zhou Yu was finally successfully removed.

When the last trace of connection between Zhou Yu's soul and the brand was severed and the brand was completely peeled off, he seemed to hear a crisp breaking sound coming from the depths of his soul, which was a symbol that the shackles that bound him for many years were finally broken.

The cutting mark was finally completed, and Zhou Yu's Nascent Soul quickly fell onto his body which was limp on the cushion and merged with it.

The next moment, Zhou Yu opened his eyes and a long-lost smile appeared on his face, which was the relaxation and relief emanating from the bottom of his heart.

He knew that from now on, he would be able to break free from the control of his inner demons and return to his own path of cultivation.

However, Zhou Yu's eyes, which had just opened, revealed fatigue.

He turned his head and wanted to say something to the owner of the Shadow Tower, but because he was too tired and weak, he just wanted to fall into a deep sleep.

Suddenly, a clear energy instantly surged through Zhou Yu's body, and countless spiritual energy suddenly gathered towards him.

"My cultivation has actually improved!" Thinking of this, Zhou Yu did not dare to delay and wanted to move to absorb the spiritual energy that was swarming in from the surroundings.

However, because he was weak, he just stood up and his eyes went dark and he fainted.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Yu slowly opened his eyes, and everything in front of him became so clear, as if he had been reborn.
