"Hidden Soul..."

After hearing Yan Zhong's words, Huo Qubing's eyes gradually lit up in a pool of blood.

Not only can it preserve the immortality of the soul, but it can also store a lifetime's strength into the weapon. The only flaw is that the process is too painful... If one fails to persevere, the end result will be the scattering of the soul. Even if Hu Jia arrives in time, he will not be able to save his spirit.

But pain was nothing to Huo Qubing. As long as he could retain his strength as much as possible, it was worth it no matter how painful it was.

"Let's use this method." Huo Qubing said firmly.

"My lord, that means skinning and drawing out bones, cutting out the heart and taking out blood!" Zhan Yuwu's hands trembled uncontrollably, and he seemed to be unable to bear it.

"Why should I be afraid of skinning and bleeding?" Huo Qubing said hoarsely, "My bones are already broken, and so is my heart... You only need to peel my skin and take my blood. I can endure this little pain."

Zhan Yuwu, Yan Zhong, and Chloe looked at each other and saw the reluctance in each other's eyes... This is Huo Qubing! Huo Qubing, the champion of the people of the world... peeling off the skin and pulling out the bones, cutting open the heart and taking the blood... Who has the heart to do this?

"Let me do it."

At this moment, a voice came from behind, and Gong Yangwan, wearing a skirt, walked towards here calmly.

"you?"

"Since you can't do it, I have to do it." Gong Yangwan said calmly, "I have tortured so many people, and I have experience in skinning and bone pulling. If your hands shake, it will only make him suffer more... Don't worry, I will act quickly."

When he saw Gong Yangwan appear, Huo Qubing's expression relaxed instead. He seemed to remember something and slowly raised his right hand from the pool of blood.

"Gong Yangwan... take this."

"What is this?" Gong Yangwan asked with a frown, looking at the heart in Huo Qubing's hand.

"That willow monster can replicate all living things and perfectly create corresponding bodies out of thin air... Aren't you in need of a body that can carry your brother's soul and has no owner? This thing should be able to help you."

Looking at the hand that was extended from the pool of blood, Gong Yangwan was struck by lightning and stood still.

He... is helping me?

He didn't hesitate to kill Kusuen's body, and shot deep into the core of the tree trunk, just to take the heart for Gong Yangzhu? ?

"Why!?" Gong Yangwan asked in confusion, "I'm just a man-eating female devil, why do you help me again and again? What good will this do for you?"

"In this world, if we have to consider the gains and losses in everything we do, it would be too cruel." Huo Qubing said slowly, "However, I do hope that you can take charge of the Evil Suppression Division for me in the future... I always believe that you are not a bad person, but you are too violent. If you can resolve it properly, with your determination and courage, you should be able to keep the Evil Suppression Division going for a thousand years.

Facts have proven that I was not wrong about him."

Gong Yangwan's pupils shrank slightly. She stared at Huo Qubing for a long time with an extremely complicated expression.

Finally, she stretched out her trembling hands and took the bloody heart...then she bent her knees and fell to her knees in a pool of blood.

"Gong Yang Wan, along with my brother Gong Yang Zhuo, kneel to thank the Marquis for saving our lives!"

Her forehead hit the blood stain heavily, making a dull sound. She called out "My Lord" sincerely and wholeheartedly.

"Go ahead." Huo Qubing said hoarsely, "After I die, the [Heart-Returning Gu] will lose its effect. From now on, no one will restrain you...

Also, take away my face, and let the world know about my death as late as possible..."

Gong Yangwan stood up slowly, her green skirt had been stained blood red, she picked up the broken spear beside her, walked to Huo Qubing, and clenched her pale joints. ..

"My Lord, please be patient..."

She raised the tip of the gun in her hand and stabbed it fiercely at the body in the pool of blood!

…

Bang--!

A palm broke through the tree trunk, easily tearing a gap, and Lin Qiye's figure flashed out.

He turned his head and looked behind him. In his vision, the huge willow tree had been entangled into a cocoon by countless causal threads. It stood on the ground like an ancient specimen, motionless.

Lin Qiye rubbed his temples, feeling dizzy and almost falling from the air.

Creating so many [Unprovoked Causes] in one breath almost overdrew all his mental strength. If Huo Qubing had not seriously injured Kusuen in advance, it would have been extremely difficult to seal him in this way.

However, in this way, Kusuen completely lost his ability to move, and when the gods in heaven returned, they could easily kill him.

Lin Qiye glanced around and began looking for other people. Finally, his gaze looked somewhere and his body shook violently.

"That is..."

Lin Qiye's pupils shrank slightly, and his body quickly jumped out from the surface of Kusuen and rushed in a certain direction.

“Brother Qiye?!” Seeing Lin Qiye falling from the sky, Zhan Yuwu’s face turned pale and he clenched his teeth, “The Marquis…”

Lin Qiye walked past Zhan Yuwu, Yan Zhong and others and stopped in front of the pool of blood. Seeing the bloody scene in front of him, his expression was slightly moved.

"Brother Qiye, the Marquis can't wait until [his mind wanders], so..." Yan Zhong turned his back to Huo Qubing, his voice trembling. Even though he knew that Huo Qubing would not really die, but would hide his soul in his soldiers, he still didn't have the courage to watch the young general he had followed for several years being skinned alive like an execution.

Lin Qiye slowly closed his eyes and sighed helplessly...

Sure enough, all this happened.

Lin Qiye had seen Huo Qubing transformed into a heroic spirit in the future, and had also heard about the painful process of transforming a dying person into a heroic spirit. He knew that this day would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so soon...

"...The Marquis will not die." Lin Qiye comforted the two softly, "He will become the strongest heroic spirit on this land and guard the destiny of our country for us. Sooner or later, he will come back."

As Gong Yangwan followed Yan Zhong's instructions and melted his bones and blood into weapons, Huo Qubing's figure had completely disappeared from this world. The dim setting sun shone through the flying dust, and only a broken spear stood on the blood-stained earth.

Clang——!!

Gong Yangwan pulled out the spear, and a buzzing sound came from the spear, as if it contained an unyielding fighting spirit roaring in the wind.

"The next step is to place the smelted weapon in the torrent of luck. After two years of nurturing, the soul will be able to revive..." Yan Zhong hoarsely recited the last words in "The Art of Hiding the Soul".

"In this era, where is the place with the most prosperous fortune?" Lin Qiye asked.

Yan Zhong and Zhan Yuwu looked at each other and said at the same time:

"Changan!"
