Realm of the Night God

The Soul Summoning Bell rang out again, and this time Master Wu increased his strength, making the power completely unmatched compared to the previous strike.

The spirit master, who was about to cast a spirit summoning spell, suddenly froze, and his seal-forming movement stopped instantly.

Previously, he had been affected by the Soul Summoning Bell and had quickly broken free from its restraint, regaining his clarity and even casting a protective spell on himself.

However, at this moment, he not only had to mobilize a large amount of spiritual power to suppress the severe poison in his body and prevent it from spreading further, but his injuries were also more severe than before. Moreover, Master Wu was now driving the Soul Summoning Bell with even greater force, so he couldn't immediately break free from its strange power.

Meanwhile, his Guardian Spirit, which was about to launch an attack on Master Wu, was also frozen in mid-air, unable to move under the sound of the Soul Summoning Bell.

Seeing that both the master and his servant were affected, Master Wu didn't hesitate and immediately activated the Soul Summoning Bell again.

This time, the Soul Summoning Bell didn't emit a loud ringing sound, but the blood-red ghost hands on the bell seemed to come to life, stretching out from the bell's surface. Fresh blood continuously dripped from each ghost hand, and before it even hit the ground, it transformed into Yin Qi and dispersed.

These ghost hands, which stretched out from the bell's surface, could extend indefinitely like noodles, although they looked a bit soft and flexible. They could change direction at will, making them extremely agile.

After stretching out from the bell, the ghost hands, under Master Wu's control, immediately divided into two waves, one grasping towards the Guardian Spirit in the air and the other towards the severely injured spirit master on the ground.

The Guardian Spirit didn't have a physical body, but when the ghost hands grasped its soul body, it was as if they had grasped a solid object. The sharp fingers of the ghost hands deeply penetrated the soul body.

The moment the ghost hands grasped the Guardian Spirit's soul body, the Guardian Spirit was suddenly awakened from its trance-like state, breaking free from the control of the Soul Summoning Bell's sound.

However, at this moment, it seemed to be experiencing intense pain, letting out a mournful cry, and its face was twisted in agony.

It wanted to disperse its soul body to escape the ghost hands covered in fresh blood, but it couldn't do so. The ghost hands were like iron chains, locking its soul body in place, making it impossible for it to disperse like usual.

With intense pain and inner fear, the Guardian Spirit was forcibly dragged into the Soul Summoning Bell by the ghost hands. Although it struggled with all its might, it was to no avail, and it couldn't escape.

At the same time, the other wave of ghost hands grasped the spirit master, and when they did, they didn't cause any physical harm to his body. Instead, they directly inserted into his physical body, paused for a moment, and then forcefully pulled out his soul.

When the spirit master's soul was forcibly pulled out of his physical body by the ghost hands, his soul had already condensed into a spirit. According to normal circumstances, this shouldn't have happened, as the soul of a living person is an independent entity, and it's impossible to condense it into a spirit without special means.

Moreover, whether it's a living person or a dead person, if the soul is forcibly condensed into a spirit and pulled out, it will definitely be in a coma. To awaken the soul from its slumber, special means are required to forcefully awaken it, or it will take seven days for the soul to awaken on its own.

However, in this case, the spirit master's soul, which was forcibly pulled out of his physical body by the ghost hands, not only condensed into a spirit but also remained in a state of wakefulness.

There are usually two possible explanations for this phenomenon.

One possibility is that the spirit master had cultivated a special technique in his lifetime, so his soul would automatically condense into a spirit after death and remain awake, similar to Yang Haoran's spirit summoning Spirit Transformation technique.

However, this possibility is very difficult to establish given the current situation, because the Spirit Master's physical body has not died, and his soul is being forcibly extracted by the ghost hand. This situation is vastly different from when the physical body dies and the soul naturally condenses into a spirit.

Therefore, the appearance of this situation should belong to the second possibility, which is that the ghost hand extending from the Soul Summoning Bell has the ability to not only instantly condense the soul into a spirit but also to forcibly awaken the spirit.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The ghost hand extending from the Soul Summoning Bell does have this ability, and it's not that the ghost hand has this ability, but rather that Master Wu's soul weapon, the Soul Summoning Bell, has this ability.

When the soul is forcibly extracted from the physical body, the Spirit Master only reacts after being shocked by the loud, ear-piercing bell sound. However, by the time he reacts, it's already too late. His soul body is firmly grasped by the ghost hand, unable to escape or disperse, and can only watch in terror as he is drawn closer and closer to the Soul Summoning Bell.

This Spirit Master's strength is not weak in Master Wu's eyes, and can even be said to be very strong. Otherwise, Master Wu wouldn't have secretly laid a trap.

However, after his soul leaves his physical body, his strength is not even comparable to that of a single evil spirit, and it's impossible for him to resist Master Wu. When his soul is forcibly pulled out, it means he has no chance of turning the tables.

Master Wu listens to the Spirit Master's pleas for mercy, but he remains unmoved. After all, he has never had the habit of showing mercy to his enemies, whether in business or on the battlefield. My V%i@rt#ual L&i.br^a@r@y Em&pire (M*|V|-L@E@1MPY+R&)! than^ks^ you for r#ea+din&g! at the sou&rc.e..#

The Guardian Spirit was first sucked into the Soul Summoning Bell because it was a soul body, and the ghost hand directly pulled it into the bell after grasping it. There was no waste of time in between.

As for the Spirit Master's soul, it was forcibly extracted from his physical body by the ghost hand, and then condensed into a spirit before being awakened. This process, although brief, took a short moment. During this moment, the Guardian Spirit had already taken the lead.

After the Guardian Spirit's soul was sucked into the Soul Summoning Bell, the Spirit Master's soul was about to follow, but just as it was about to be sucked in, Master Wu's restriction barrier was suddenly broken by a fierce and violent force!

The sudden appearance of this situation clearly indicated that an enemy had arrived. The Spirit Master, who had already fallen into despair, suddenly saw a glimmer of hope, and his terrified expression disappeared, replaced by a look of surprise and joy. His pleas for mercy stopped, and he hastily cried out for help.

"Save me!!"

Master Wu's face darkened, and he not only didn't stop using the Soul Summoning Bell due to this sudden situation but instead increased his efforts.

"I said you would die, and no one can save you!"

Master Wu's voice had barely fallen when the Spirit Master's soul was forcibly pulled into the Soul Summoning Bell. At the same time, a star spiritual power descended from the sky, directly hitting the Soul Summoning Bell in front of him.

Boom!!

The Soul Summoning Bell was unable to withstand this powerful star spiritual power and exploded, shattering into fragments that dispersed as Yin Qi. However, the Guardian Spirit and the Spirit Master's soul did not appear due to the explosion.

As for where their souls were hidden, it was unclear, and it seemed that only Master Wu, the owner of the Soul Summoning Bell, knew the answer.

The explosion of the soul weapon wasn't a big deal, as it could be re-condensed even if it shattered. However, when the powerful star spiritual power exploded the Soul Summoning Bell, the resulting shockwave still sent Master Wu flying.

Although the target of the attack wasn't him, the attack was so powerful that even the shockwave from the explosion almost took his life.

His body was sent flying, breaking several large trees before coming to a stop. Fresh blood spurted out of his mouth, and his aura suddenly became weak.

He had just opened his heaven soul, and his aura and the power fluctuations within him were extremely strong. However, he still almost died from the shockwave of the explosion, which showed how powerful the attacker was!

The attacker was none other than the three-star female demon hunter
