The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 525: Chapter 525 Capturing the Soul (Fifth Update)
 

The thin-faced Taoist took a glance at Huang Xiaolong and laughed arrogantly. “Oh… a young Taoist? I get it… You’re the one who has been consistently messing with my plans! How audacious! Kneel before me! Otherwise, I will recite the Punishment Spell and send you into the Blood Pool Hell for a thousand years of torture!”

As the thin-faced Taoist was speaking, he bobbled the soul-hooking rope in his hand. It scared the yellow-robed ghosts carrying the coffin so much that their knees gave out and they ended up on the ground.

The thin-faced Taoist seemed quite pleased with himself.

Huang Xiaolong was both angry and amused.

This was a real case of Li Kui running into Li Gui.

He, the sole emissary of the underworld, was threatened by a fake one right in front of his face. The fake one even threatened to send him into the Blood Pool Hell for a thousand years of torture.

Gosh, it’s a strange world indeed!

“Eh… you say that you’re an emissary and that you can take souls, right?” Huang Xiaolong teased. “Alright, I will stand still. You can try to take a soul for me to see.”

“Seeking your own death!” The thin-faced Taoist smirked ominously but felt a little thrill of joy in his heart—’This little brat is clearly an ignorant fool. Just standing there, allowing me to take his soul? My magic artifact, the soul-hooking rope, doesn’t mess around!’

With a thought, the thin-faced Taoist threw out the soul-hooking rope in his hand!

Whirl, whirl~~whirl, whirl~~~

The sound of soul-snatching echoed throughout the whole valley!

In an instant, a chain resembling neither iron nor any other material, engraved with dense talismanic characters, shot towards Huang Xiaolong like a viper.

Huang Xiaolong didn’t evade. He reached out and grabbed the soul-hooking rope.

“Aha hah hah! Soul, come to me~~!!!!!” The thin-faced Taoist roared maliciously, chanting a spell, attempting to seize Huang Xiaolong’s soul.

However…

Huang Xiaolong stood there, an amused smile playing on his face. He teased, “What’s the matter? Can’t hook my soul? Just look at me, perfectly alright. Turns out you’re a counterfeit underworld emissary.”

The thin-faced Taoist was both shocked and furious. His soul-hooking rope had never failed before, but today it securely wrapped around Huang Xiaolong and yet failed to trap his soul after he had even chanted the spell.

“Scram.” Huang Xiaolong casually tossed the chain away.

The thin-faced Taoist flicked his wrist and the soul-hooking rope twisted toward Ji Yianxue and two others.

Xia Jian reacted swiftly, moving forward and grabbing the soul-hooking rope.

“Soul, come to me~~!!!!!” The thin-faced Taoist chanted.

However…

It was like a clay ox entering the sea!

Damn it, he couldn’t take Xia Jian’s soul either!

“Hahahahaha~~~Underworld emissary? Go on, keep farting your dog nonsense!” Seeing he wasn’t hurt, Xia Jian began to curse unabashedly.

‘Damn… strange… today is just too damned strange…’ Sweat had started to bead on the forehead of the thin-faced Taoist.

Next, he attempted to bind the souls of Ji Yianxue and Ouyang Lingling, but also ended in failure.

The “soul stabilizing symbol” that Huang Xiaolong imprinted within them played an amazing role.

“What’s the matter? Want to try again? You can’t even bind our souls, seems like you’re really a sham of a ghost envoy.” Huang Xiaolong said with a laugh.

“Nonsense!” The sharp-faced Taoist was furious, shouting at the yellow-robed wraiths carrying the coffin.” What are you standing there for? Quickly seize these people for me!”

The next second, a group of yellow-robed wraiths, baring their teeth, pounced on Huang Xiaolong.

“Get lost!” Huang Xiaolong sneered, waving his hand casually, a large swathe of Samadhi True Fire swept out.

The Samadhi True Fire was incomparably domineering. The moment the yellow-robed wraiths made contact, they began burning, releasing blood-curdling screams, and in the blink of an eye, they were burned to ashes and smoke.

“You…you are merciless~~this…this ghost envoy…I…” Seeing Huang Xiaolong so dominant, effortlessly releasing Samadhi True Fire, the sharp-faced Taoist was terrified to his core and was just about to turn tail and run.

“Ha ha ha~~ Binding souls? Good, let me show you what real soul binding is!” Huang Xiaolong let out a strange laugh. In the next second, his right hand formed into a claw, reaching out at the sharp-faced Taoist from afar!

Boom~~~~ !!

A terrifying power, like a vortex, immediately engulfed the sharp-faced Taoist.

Whoosh~~ !!

In this instant, the sharp-faced Taoist’s soul was torn out of his body by an unknown force.

Without the soul, his body, previously in the coffin, now lie on the ground, without a hint of life.

Huang Xiaolong casually manipulated the sharp-faced Taoist’s soul, playing with it. “Ha ha ha~~ My ghost envoy, your soul has been extracted by me. Now, what have you got to say?”

“Ah~ !! No! Don’t! Hurry! Hurry put my soul back. If too much time passes, I …my soul won’t be able to return…” The sharp-faced Taoist screamed in horror, “Quick! Please! Any longer, even if it can return, my intelligence will be affected and I could become an idiot…please, let me go.”

Ji Yianxue and the others watched as Huang Xiaolong reached out and yanked a pale human form from the sharp-faced Taoist’s body. The human form begged non-stop in a high-pitched voice. It was funny, eerie, and thrilling all at once.

“Aren’t you a ghost envoy?” Huang Xiaolong mocked. “The soul of a ghost envoy can’t be seized by anyone.”

“No, no, I was wrong! I was wrong! I am a fake! I am not a ghost envoy, I am just a Taoist. My master gave me a soul-hooking cord, taught me necromancy… I.. I pretended to be a ghost envoy, shackling other’s souls… I… I was wrong…” The sharp-faced Taoist crumpled, wailing and begging for mercy, afraid that Huang Xiaolong would crush his soul into powder, leading to his total annihilation. “This has nothing to do with me, it’s just the young masters of the Ji Group and other young masters and ladies, they offered a high price for me to plan Miss Ji’s death…I… I was blinded by greed and agreed… I was wrong… Let me go, I promise, as long as you let me go, I will immediately retaliate against the Ji Group, all those who harmed Miss Ji, I will kill them all! I will extract their souls for Miss Ji to play with…”

“Hehe~~ originally, I could have let you go. But… you, this lowly creature, dared to impersonate a ghost envoy…” Huang Xiaolong shook his head slightly, and in the next moment, he released several fierce ghosts from the soul bottle!

A few wraiths pounced on the Taoist’s corpse, tearing and gnawing non-stop.

In no time, the sharp-faced Taoist’s corpse was torn to pieces.

“Ah~~ !! My body! My body! You’ve destroy my body! Ah! Son of a bitch! My master will not let you go! He will kill your entire family!” When his corpse was destroyed, the sharp-faced Taoist let out an unbelievable shriek of horror, just like a wounded, starving wolf.

“Idiot.” Huang Xiaolong crushed the sharp-faced Taoist’s soul into powder with a simple squeeze.

After getting rid of the sham ghost envoy, Huang Xiaolong turned to Ji Yianxue. “Miss Ji, everything is settled. Now, go and identify your kin. Your birth mother is in that temple. Congratulations on your reunion.”
