Soul echo

Chapter 297 Killing
Violent vibrations and roars came from the manor, and the high smoke and dust even flew over the wall and floated outside the manor.

After killing the enemy in front of her, Lily Lieber, who was hunting the mutation artist between the farmhouse and the haystack, couldn't help but turn her head worriedly.

She had never gotten to know Earl Marta, a distant relative, and never thought about getting to know him, so she never exercised the right to freely enter and leave the Marta Manor.

The understanding of Earl Marta is limited to 'he is a weird person' and 'the relationship with his grandfather is complicated'.

Other than that, don't know anything.

Therefore, she didn't know why Earl Marta suddenly... turned into that kind of monster.

In Lili's eyes, although Earl Marta is a weird person, he is just a distant relative with an eccentric personality and relatively indifferent, so he won't become like this...

However, the facts were already in front of her eyes, and she couldn't help questioning them.

Maybe she didn't know about Count Marta's nature, or maybe there were some changes that she didn't know about, but it was too late to say these now, Count Marta had already killed a demon hunter and turned into a monster.

——People who are infected by the abyss must die!

Sighing, Lily turned her head to look at the farm, and found that all the mutant artists had been killed by the group of excited adventurers.

After she and Lilian left Marta Manor, she thought that the farmers living around the manor would be slaughtered, but unexpectedly, a group of adventurers appeared out of nowhere.

Their skills are not exquisite, they can even be said to be crude, but they are not afraid of death, and they will even scream with excitement when fighting.

Under the protection of these adventurers, none of the farmers' lives were in danger. On the contrary, three of the adventurers died tragically at the hands of the mutant artist in order to protect the farmers.

Because the actions of these adventurers were too frank, Lily couldn't help but wonder, are they really adventurers?Are all adventurers this noble now?

And I don't know what happened, these adventurers actually carry holy water on them.

Lily walked over with an ax and gun, and heard the group of adventurers excitedly discussing whether to rush into the manor.

"I advise you to better not do that!"

Lily suddenly grasped the grip, glared at these defiant adventurers, and sternly advised: "You don't even know what's in the manor, it's impossible for you to deal with—"

boom--! ! !
At this moment, with a loud noise, the ground trembled violently.

The walls of many farmhouses were cracked by the shock, and the farmers hiding in the houses could not restrain their fear and screamed.

The livestock were also frightened and ran around. All of a sudden, the farm was filled with the chaotic cries of various animals.

"Damn it, what happened?"

Lily heard an adventurer yelling, and turned her head to look in the direction of the manor in astonishment.

Part of the manor's fence has collapsed, and Lily saw a huge shadow crawling on the ground when she looked beyond the collapsed section of the wall.

The monster represented by the shadow waved its tentacles and attacked itself.

"Don't worry, the teacher won't die so easily!" Lilian walked over, patted her chest, and said confidently, "The oppression that that monster brought to me is not as strong as the demon I saw in Milan before. Well—it is the demon that lurks beside the Grand Duke Milan and opened the gate of the abyss!"

Compared to Lily Lieber, Lilian felt that she was well-informed enough.

She followed Zhong Ye all the way, dealt with cultists, killed mutants, defeated demons, and even personally participated in an action to kill false gods. Such wonderful adventures were not Lily Lieber's childhood. The princess who grew up in the court can be compared.

"...Is that so?" Lily was still a little worried.

She didn't know who Lilian was talking about, but she was able to open the door to the abyss, and she knew that the demon was very powerful.

The monster that Earl Marta turned into brought Lilian a sense of oppression that was not as strong as that demon. In other words, Earl Marta was weaker than that demon?
"Of course!" Lilian nodded her head heavily, "The teacher killed that demon almost without paying any price, and now he is stronger than before, wouldn't it be easy to defeat that monster? "

Lily pursed her lips, and turned her gaze to the battlefield.

Then I found that while they were talking, those wildly waving tentacles had disappeared.

Is this... Zhong Ye defeated Earl Marta?
If it is said to be a complete victory, it is definitely not. However, Zhong Ye has already reached the place where Earl Marta's 'soul' is.

Under that thick flesh and blood, there is a utterly evil soul hidden.

Even without opening the psychic vision, Zhong Ye could still smell the decaying stench emanating from the depths of his soul just by relying on his own perception ability.

He cut open the flesh and blood under his feet, and saw the window hidden under the flesh and blood.

Zhong Ye didn't intend to go in, he never planned to walk up to Count Marta's soul from the very beginning.

The size of a human being is too different from that of this flesh and blood behemoth, and the long knife in his hand cannot kill this body at all.

If there were artillery or bombs around, he would not hesitate to use artillery or bombs, but it was a pity that there were no such things in the surrounding farms and fields.

Therefore, he could only find another way.

——Since the body cannot be killed, then it is good to kill the soul!

Is martial arts such an inconvenience?

The iris lights up, the breathing is heavy, and the spiritual energy and 'Qi' converge on the blade at the same time.

Listening to the many heartbeats from that huge body, more than a dozen heartbeats beat one after another, providing Count Marta with vitality.

However, perhaps it didn't notice that when these hearts were beating, there would be a subtle resonance every five seconds.

That resonance is like a sound wave with clean sound quality, when it hits an object, it can produce extremely clear feedback.

Through these heart resonances, Zhong Ye had already figured out what was under the layers of flesh and blood before he came to this place.

In this body, he also found several brain-like structures, so it is very difficult to kill this body.

The regeneration of the tentacles has not yet ended, and Earl Marta can only use spiritual energy.

A torrent of psychic energy suddenly spurted out from under his feet, Zhong Ye pulled out the blue bird at the right time, and nailed it into the flesh and blood that his feet were stepping on.

The real blade cut through the wave of psionic energy, and the surging power surged past Zhong Ye, but it couldn't hurt him at all.

Inhale - exhale!

Zhong Ye suddenly pulled out the straight knife and threw it back.

But he saw the dozens of regenerated tentacles rising up, covering the sky again, and slamming down hard.

The blue bird chirped to stop Xingyun, and the dozen or so tentacles snapped off in response.

With only a ray of sunset left, it sank completely behind the distant mountains, and darkness descended on the earth.

In the darkness, there is a glimmer of light shining!
The force starts from the ground, from the waist to the body.

Driven by the breath, the power originating from the limbs flowed into the arms, and condensed on the blade.

The blue veins in the arms holding the knife handle were bulging, and the muscles swelled.

The blade emitted a gleam of light, illuminating Zhong Ye's face, as well as the ugly body of Earl Marta.

The glowing eyes stared at the layer of flesh and blood under his feet, but his sight penetrated the barriers of layers of flesh and blood, and he saw that chaotic soul.

As a result, the muscles of the whole body twisted, pulling both arms, and chopped off the long knife held high.

"--die!"

Energized by energy, spiritual energy penetrated into the flesh and blood, connecting Earl Marta's soul with Zhong Ye's own soul at a distance of more than ten meters.

Through this tenuous connection, the strong will crashed into Count Marta's empty soul, and it failed to make any effective resistance, and was wiped out of self-consciousness.

The beating flesh and the high-spirited tentacles all stopped at this moment.

Zhong Ye took a deep breath, turned and left.

He raised his hand, shook and pulled it towards the sky, and the blue bird twittered and returned to his hand.

Behind Zhong Ye, the flesh and blood slowly melted, turning into ashes bit by bit, and was taken away by the cold wind.

The battle was over, but Zhong Ye got nothing, only felt a emptiness in his heart.
