"Ah!" the woman roared, "I will never let you go, even if I die! I will become a vengeful ghost and come back to take your life!"
Cao Kun's foot landed on the woman's chest, extinguishing her last chance of life.
With a flick of his Myriad Souls Banner, a phantom flew out from the woman's corpse.
Just as it was about to be thrown into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, Cao Kun took out a jade bottle and put it inside.
"You don't even qualify to become a ghost." Cao Kun flicked his hand, and a corpse-sinking talisman landed on the woman.
Soon, the woman's body sank deep underground.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Cao Kun never asked the woman's name.
This is not important to him at all.
Cao Kun could tell that this woman must have come from a poor family.
I acquired this camera by chance.
If she had been more careful and cautious, she could have changed her fate with this camera.
However, she became lost in killing and desire.
After she made money, she quickly started dressing herself up like the men and women at the party.
After succeeding several times, he became bolder and more reckless in his actions.
Even if she hadn't encountered Cao Kun this time.
Someday in the future, she will encounter other people who can kill her.
Back home, Cao Kun took out the camera, and then the jade bottle containing the woman's soul.
Cao Kun tapped the jade bottle, and a phantom flew out from it, hovering in mid-air.
This phantom is the woman's soul, but this kind of soul cannot be called a ghost.
Once separated from the body, they become confused and unable to communicate normally.
Cao Kun pointed at the camera from a distance, and the camera, drawn by magical power, flew into the air and hovered next to the woman's soul.
Immediately, Cao Kun silently channeled the power of the evil pill according to the principles of the "Soul Body Refining Technique".
He formed an extremely complex hand seal, and then, as the seal changed, a ball of purple flame condensed in his hand.
This is his elixir fire.
Daoist cultivators have the "elixir fire" to form their elixir, and so do heretical cultivators.
The only difference is the attributes.
Dan fire is very powerful and is usually a strong means of fighting enemies.
However, the ball of elixir fire in Cao Kun's hand now seemed to have no heat.
He pointed towards the sky, and the ball of purple flame flew out, transforming into a huge fire that enveloped the woman's soul and the camera.
Without the "Soul Refining Technique," both the camera and the woman's soul would have been burned to nothingness.
This is also why he didn't use the alchemical fire to destroy the woman's body and cover up the evidence.
That would burn even the woman's soul.
But now, the camera and the soul, enveloped in the elixir fire, remain completely unharmed.
However, as Cao Kun continued to use the various incantations from the "Soul Refining Technique," the soul appeared to be in extreme pain, and its body gradually shrank.
The power of his soul gradually entered the camera and was absorbed by it.
The Soul Refining Technique is undoubtedly an extremely evil method of refining weapons.
They used human souls directly to forge weapons, and it wasn't just one person.
To forge a usable magical artifact, a large number of souls are required.
The more powerful the magical artifact, the more souls it requires.
If this had happened during a time when cultivators were flourishing, Cao Kun's actions would have certainly led to him being hunted down by righteous cultivators.
But this is the Dharma-ending Age, and it's in the US, so Cao Kun feels no psychological pressure.
The woman's soul was not strong. As the alchemical fire continued to refine it, her soul completely disappeared in just a few minutes.
All of his strength was absorbed by that camera.
Cao Kun dispersed his magic seal, and the elixir fire extinguished.
He reached out and the camera landed in his hand.
After examining the camera, Cao Kun discovered that the evil energy within it had increased.
However, to achieve the desired effect, the power of a single soul is far from sufficient.
That woman may have thought that one day she might die under that camera.
But no one ever imagined that after killing her, someone would also refine her soul into part of the camera.
It can be said that the highlight of her life was because of this camera.
But his eventual death was also caused by this camera.
That evening, Cao Kun didn't drive; instead, he walked to the city center.
The downtown area of Los Angeles at night is a completely different place from the daytime.
In the 1990s, the United States had a relatively strong overall national strength, and there were far fewer homeless people than in later generations, but there were still quite a few.
However, the gangs were no less powerful than those of later generations.
Various transactions were being conducted, even openly.
Meanwhile, the police in country M also tacitly avoided coming to these areas at night, allowing the situation to develop unchecked.
That camera needed a lot of souls, so Cao Kun didn't hold back and killed anyone he saw, then collected the souls one by one.
One by one, people fell behind Cao Kun.
Those people didn't even have a chance to fire a shot before their lives were taken and their souls were taken away.
That night, downtown Los Angeles was awash in blood.
As dawn approached, Cao Kun had collected more than 200 souls and returned to the Land of Gathering Evils, completely satisfied.
More than 200 people died at once, and it wasn't even a gang fight.
This incident also attracted the attention of the police.
However, after their investigation, they found no clues whatsoever.
Soon, an urban legend began to circulate.
As a result, the downtown area of Los Angeles became strangely safe for a period of time afterward.
Cao Kun was unaware of the strange tales that were circulating outside.
He is currently refining all 200-plus souls into the camera.
After three days of intermittent practice, it was finally completed.
At this point, the evil aura emanating from the camera had become extremely strong.
But whether it can achieve that effect or not, Cao Kun doesn't know yet; he needs to find someone to test it.
That evening, Cao Kun went to the city again.
But Cao Kun was surprised to find that the city was unusually quiet.
He walked for a long time but didn't see anyone.
After thinking for a moment, Cao Kun guessed that they were probably too scared to show themselves because they had been killed by him.
Left with no other option, Cao Kun went to nightclubs.
Nightclubs are never short of people.
Especially on the dance floor, young men and women who had taken drugs were wildly twisting their bodies and swaying to the rhythm of the music.
Cao Kun randomly picked a target and took a picture of him.
Then, he hid in the darkness and tore the photograph with the image in half.
"ah!"
With a piercing scream, the writhing man's body suddenly split open, scattering colorful things all over the ground.
"ah!"
A series of piercing screams rang out as countless men and women frantically fled outwards.
Some people didn't understand what was happening; they just saw others running and ran after them.
Cao Kun smiled.
The effect seen in the movie can finally be realized.
However, it only works for ordinary people.
It's not enough to deal with ghosts and monsters, or even cultivators with high levels of cultivation; one must continue to refine the soul body.
Thinking of this, Cao Kun turned his gaze to the men and women who were fleeing in terror.
The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls reappeared in his hand.
