The Rebellious Son Becomes a God

"Ha~~"

Jiang Li leaned on the Mo Li Sword, half-kneeling on the spot. His chest was heaving violently as he gasped for breath heavily.

At this moment, he felt dizzy as if the whole world was spinning around him. His head seemed to be stuffed with a mess of tangled threads, buzzing constantly.

And the originally abundant soul power was now completely depleted, just like a dried-up riverbed that could no longer flow out a single stream of spiritual power.

Moreover, in the just-concluded confrontation of soul power with Wang Dahai, his own soul had also suffered some damage.

The torn wounds seemed to be silently telling the tragic story of the battle just now.

Jiang Li quickly activated the Yang Yu to repair the cracks that were densely spread on his soul like a spider web.

At this moment, the soul within his body was extremely weak and floating, as if a gentle breeze could easily blow it away.

Faint spiritual power began to slowly gather within the soul, like a skillful craftsman, gradually mending those hideous cracks.

In just a few moments, under the meticulous repair with the support of spiritual power, the soul had actually been restored to its original state. Apart from still retaining a bit of weakness caused by excessive consumption, there was no flaw to be found.

Jiang Li let out a slight sigh of relief. He sat cross-legged, formed hand seals, and began to recuperate according to the "True Scripture of Human Origin".

The spiritual power around him gathered beside him at an invisible speed to the naked eye and then formed a vortex of spiritual power, pouring into Jiang Li's body.

After several cycles of cultivation, the already depleted soul power slowly filled up again.

Jiang Li opened his eyes and slowly got to his feet.

"Old thing, it's time for us to settle old scores." A cold and fierce light flashed in Jiang Li's eyes.

He released his spiritual sense and quietly probed in the direction from which the other party's soul power had attacked.

That spiritual sense snaked forward, carefully shuttling through the air, trying to accurately locate where Wang Dahai's real body was.

After some searching and investigation, Jiang Li finally managed to lock onto Wang Dahai's position - it was in the servants' courtyard.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, forming a sneer full of sarcasm. That smile looked particularly cold in this dim night.

"Nanny Chen, hehe." Jiang Li murmured the name softly, and the chill in his eyes grew even stronger.

He grasped the Mo Li Sword in his hand and walked towards the courtyard where they were hiding with steady steps.

The figure, under the moonlight, cast a long black shadow, like an avenger from the netherworld, exuding a chilling aura.

After Jiang Li dispersed Wang Dahai's soul power.

Inside the servants' courtyard, Wang Dahai seemed to have suffered the cruelest punishment in the world. He rolled around on the ground, unable to hold back bursts of shrill screams.

His soul power instantly retracted and, like a wounded beast, he hastily hid back inside his own body.

However, even so, the sudden and intense pain still engulfed him like a surging tide in an instant, causing him to collapse on the ground, his body twitching continuously as he lost control of his limbs.

Nanny Chen was horrified when she saw this. Her face instantly turned as pale as paper, completely devoid of any color.

She hurriedly rushed forward in big strides, wanting to support Wang Dahai, and asked anxiously,"Old man, what's wrong with you? What happened?" At this moment, her voice trembled due to excessive worry, and her eyes were full of panic and helplessness.

Those who didn't know the truth would have thought that they were really a loving elderly couple.

But at this time, Wang Dahai was immersed in his own world of pain and couldn't hear Nanny Chen's concerned inquiries at all.

He was still clutching his head while rolling on the ground continuously. He was in extreme pain. Blood even oozed out from his eyes, and the bright red blood slowly trickled down his cheeks, making his face look especially hideous, like an evil spirit crawling out of hell.

Nanny Chen was so frightened that her soul almost left her body. She shook Wang Dahai's body desperately and shouted at the top of her lungs,"Old man, old man! Don't scare me! Did something go wrong with Jiang Li?"

She just couldn't believe that Wang Dahai would be beaten into such a miserable state by Jiang Li.

In her perception, it should have been an easy task for a Soul Master to deal with a young lad like Jiang Li. However, the reality was like a resounding slap in the face, hitting her hard and leaving her in disbelief.

After struggling painfully for quite a while, Wang Dahai finally lay limply in Nanny Chen's arms. His voice became weak and hoarse, as if it came from the distant underworld. With great difficulty, he said,"Quick... quickly... go... Jiang... Li is... a Soul Warrior. Spread the news... he... he was... hiding his true strength!!"

After uttering this last sentence, he became completely still. That last wisp of his soul was like a candle in the wind, instantly dissipating, leaving only a cold corpse lying quietly in Nanny Chen's arms.

"Oh my, what an old couple in love. How pitiful! Do you know how miserably he was screaming at that time? He even begged me to let him go, saying that he still had a wife to support. Tsk, tsk, tsk. I never expected it was Nanny Chen. She's really something at such an old age."

Jiang Li said in a bantering tone while knocking on the stone bricks. The sarcasm in his words was like a sharp blade, stabbing hard at Nanny Chen's already broken heart.

"Jiang Li!"

Stimulated by Jiang Li's words, Nanny Chen was like a powder keg that had been instantly ignited, or like a mad ghost who had lost her mind. She rushed towards Jiang Li recklessly.

At this moment, her heart and eyes were filled with hatred for Jiang Li. All she wanted was to tear this man, who had killed her old man, into pieces to vent her hatred.

She was completely immersed in that surging anger.

She had completely forgotten what Wang Dahai had just told her about Jiang Li being a dual cultivator of soul and martial arts!

So she didn't even think about taking defensive measures for her own soul at all.
