The Legend of the Demon Hunter

A graceful figure flew into the air and hovered in front of Xia Shi. It was Di Rui.

She held a white jade box in her hands, which was gently opened. An exquisite jade ruyi flew to the top of Xia Shi's head, emitting a faint white light.

With the appearance of Yu Ruyi, the spider web behind Xia Shi lit up first, like streams of glowing water gathering towards Xia Shi's body from all around.

Xia Shi's eyes were still closed, but as the light flowed into her body, her expression became extremely painful.

Although Changyu Jinnian told Xiao Zhu in advance that Di Rui was helping Xia Shi solve the earth soul problem that had been bothering her for years, Xiao Zhu couldn't help but clench his fists and look worried when he saw Xia Shi's unbearable pain.

Changyu Jinnian noticed Xiao Zhu's nervousness and tried to distract him with words: "The Di family that Rui'er belongs to is the most proficient family in the art of souls in Huanling Country. They are even called the Soul Clan."

"Oh." Xiao Zhu answered absentmindedly.

"Three hundred years ago, there was a man with a physique almost identical to Xia Shi. When he was on the verge of death, he found the Di family for help. The family patriarch at the time, Di Xuanming, who was Rui'er's grandfather, treated him personally and saved his life." Changyu Jinnian stared at the situation on the altar and said to Xiao Zhu.

"Oh? Is he also an earth soul body?" Xiao Zhu was interested in these words.

"No, he has the body of a heavenly soul. The heavenly soul is far superior to the earthly soul in terms of its attributes and the intensity of its corrosion on the body." Changyu Jinnian looked at Xiao Zhu.

"There are actually celestial soul bodies in this world?" Xiao Zhu looked at Changyu Jinnian in surprise.

“Well, the Earth Soul is one more soul among the three souls and seven spirits, and the same goes for the Heaven Soul, except that there is one more soul among the three souls and seven spirits. Only very few people can survive like this. But then again, after the Heaven Soul's body is resolved, that person's strength not only greatly increases, but the Heaven Soul also provides powerful assistance for his cultivation and combat, making him a famous hunting king, known as the Heaven Soul Hunting King.” Changyu Jinnian praised when he mentioned the name.

"Heavenly Soul Hunter King?" Xiao Zhu seemed to have heard of this name. He thought about it for a long time, and suddenly thought of the old Huojian he met in the Xuanwu branch of the Demon Hunter Association. He seemed to have mentioned this name, but he just passed it by at that time, but Xiao Zhu still paid attention to this strange term.

"Could it be that the person you are talking about is from the Demon Hunter Association?" Xiao Zhu asked doubtfully.

Changyu Jinnian looked at Xiao Zhu in surprise. He didn't expect that Xiao Zhu, who had just arrived, had also heard of this person: "Yes, he is the previous president of the Xuanwu branch of the Demon Hunter Association, named Qin Zhen. It's a pity that the Demon Hunter Association was eliminated by the Red Lotus Cult not long ago, and a generation of heroes came to an end. But even now I am still curious, who has the ability to kill Qin Zhen?" At the end, Changyu Jinnian showed a puzzled look.

Xiao Zhu did not mention to the other party that he was already the new president of the Xuanwu branch and the only member of the current Demon Hunter Association.

"Qin Zhen, is he very strong?" Xiao Zhu asked doubtfully.

"Let me put it this way! Seventy years ago, I had just entered the realm of the Hunter King. At that time, I was very conceited because of my bloodline advantage. I looked down on others and caused trouble everywhere in Huanling Country, until one day I offended Qin Zhen." Changyu Jinnian recalled: "At that time, Qin Zhen was already a well-known Heavenly Soul Hunter King. I had heard of his fame a long time ago. Although I was a little scared, I was confident that I could fight with my many trump cards. As a result..."

"What's the result?" Xiao Zhu asked curiously.

Changyu Jinnian smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Qin Zhen didn't make a move that time, he just relied on the external incarnation formed by the Heavenly Soul to defeat me."

"What?" Xiao Zhu was stunned with surprise. Qin Zhen's strength was so terrifying!

Who killed Qin Zhen? Who else in the Red Lotus Sect had such strength besides Ning Zhiwan? Could it be Ning Zhiwan himself? But killing such a powerful hunting king would inevitably come at a heavy price, so what was the purpose?

A series of questions lingered in Xiao Zhu's mind.

At this moment, a change occurred on the altar. A yellow humanoid light slowly flew out from Xia Shi's body. The appearance of this light was exactly the same as Xia Shi! It flew away very slowly, as if it was forced out of the body by the countless white spider webs.

As the yellow light appeared, Di Rui's expression became solemn and nervous. Yu Ruyi flew back to her hand as if she had received her call, and she cast spells quickly. The magic circle on the altar on the ground was like a long-sleeping giant awakened. A series of light curtains shot up into the sky, binding the yellow light one meter away from Xia Shi.

The yellow light and shadow seemed to want to break free, but the formation on the ground formed a net that bound it. Then Di Rui threw Yu Ruyi out again, and the white light enveloped the yellow light and shadow. The movement of the light and shadow seemed to be suppressed, and the struggle became powerless.

"The soul-extracting ritual has been successfully completed." Seeing this scene, a look of joy appeared on Changyu Jinnian's face.

Xiao Zhu also noticed that the pain on Xia Shi's face had gradually disappeared, and her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she wanted to wake up.

Di Rui cast a spell again, and the yellow light and shadow shrank rapidly under her control, and finally turned into a spot of light. Di Rui confidently tapped Xia Shi's right arm, and the light and shadow immediately penetrated into Xia Shi's arm, and a light yellow symbol appeared out of thin air on the inside of Xia Shi's arm.

The light faded, and the spider web and the formation seemed to fall into a deep sleep again.

Di Rui picked up Xia Shi and slowly landed on the ground. She looked a little tired. It was obvious that such a ceremony was also very exhausting for her. She didn't look back and said directly to Xiao Zhu and Chang Yu Jinnian behind her: "I have separated her earth soul from her body, and formed a soul seal in her Shao Hai acupoint, placing the earth soul in it. But her current strength is still shallow, not enough to control the power of the earth soul. When her strength improves in the future, the earth soul will definitely become an important helper for her."

At this moment, Di Rui, Xiao Zhu and Chang Yu Jinnian all felt that Xia Shi's spiritual power began to surge, gradually forming a spiritual power vortex, frantically absorbing the spiritual power in the surrounding environment towards her body.

The three of them were very familiar with this scene. This was the sign of bloodline awakening!

Xia Shi had already met the conditions for the fourth blood awakening, but due to the limitations of the Earth Soul, Master Fan Yin restricted the spiritual power in her body to prevent the blood awakening from breaking the seal on the Earth Soul and threatening her life.

Now, with the earth soul being stripped away, Xia Shi’s fourth blood awakening has finally arrived as expected!
