Chapter 2004: The Art of Saving People

"How is this possible!"

I looked at the five figures that were flying towards me quickly, with disbelief in my eyes.

Just now, these five people were clearly burned to charcoal in front of me, but now, these five people actually appeared again.

They are resurrected from the dead, and they are also said to be... I am sensing it wrong!

But then I shook my head!

My perception will definitely not appear, these five people are definitely the five people who were burned to death before!

"The ones who were burned before could not be puppets, they must be their real bodies, but now they appear in front of me again, how can this be explained?"

As long as you are contaminated by the mysterious fire, not only will the physical body be burned to ashes, even the soul will be annihilated together.

How can they be resurrected if even their souls are annihilated?

"No!" The next moment, I suddenly raised my eyebrows.

Because I sensed that the three souls and seven spirits of these five people were not complete!

"Three souls and six spirits are missing? Only one spirit is left to support their bodies?"

Just as I was thinking, Xiao Qi beside me suddenly spoke: "Wow, these people again, they are just like before, with only one spirit, like a puppet!"

Xiao Qi's words made me shudder, and a terrible thought rose in my heart.

"Could it be that there is something in the shrine, or some kind of ritual that can bring them back to life, and the price is... they must leave behind one soul or one spirit? But in this case, their complete three souls and seven spirits will be divided into ten parts, which means that although they are not complete themselves, they can have ten lives and can be resurrected ten times in a row?"

I was stunned, because the senior Dragon Soul had never told me that the dragon clan had such evil magic.

"This is the dragon clan's magic to save people!"

Suddenly, a deep and majestic voice rang in my mind. When I heard this voice, I was immediately shocked, because this voice was actually made by the long-sleeping Dragon Soul.

"The so-called art of enslaving people is a magic created by the dragons to manipulate humans in ancient times. In this way, one person can be divided into ten people. After the three souls and seven spirits are no longer complete, they will lose their humanity and only have the instincts given to them. In ancient times, the instinct given to them by the dragons was labor. These enslaved humans will work endlessly for the dragons to mine until their bodies can no longer support them and their souls dissipate, which is considered a complete liberation!"

"It's a miracle that the human race didn't get wiped out in the ancient times!" I sighed, and the dragon soul sneered: "If it weren't for the dragon slayers who sacrificed their lives and burned themselves to kill the dragons, the human race would probably no longer exist!"

At this time, the five people had come to about 30 meters in front of me again.

At this time, I suddenly found the abnormality of these five people.

They didn't seem to need to communicate, as if they were acting according to some kind of instructions. After they appeared, they surrounded me like last time, and then began to cast spells. When they cast spells, their movements were neat and orderly... as if they were a sophisticated machine with a program set.

"After being divided into ten people, can't they appear together?" I asked in a low voice.

"No, because the three souls and seven spirits have the instinct to gather together. This is due to the way of heaven. Even the dragon race cannot resist this gathering. Therefore, only one person can appear at a time. However, when the first person dies, the second person will wake up, and the second person's body is usually condensed with dragon blood. In other words, the later the person appears, the stronger the strength. The last tenth person is as strong as the first generation of hybrids!"

This sentence directly shocked my heart.

Because if this is true, then doesn't it mean that the more times I kill the five people in front of me, the stronger they will become?

In the end, they will even become five powerful beings comparable to the first generation of hybrids?

Add to that the Yamata-no-Orochi lurking in the shrine, then wouldn't I have to face six first-generation hybrids at the same time?

Just one Yamata-no-Orochi is enough for me to drink a pot of wine, but if there are six first-generation hybrids, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape even if I want to.

"Is there any way to stop their resurrection?" I asked with narrowed eyes.

At this time, the five people had already pinched their hand seals at the same time, and like a machine, they shouted in unison.

And as they shouted, five different elements once again lingered on their body surface!

Their spell casting speed is very slow. If I want, I can kill them directly while they are casting the spell!

But I know that it is a temptation and a trap.

It can even be said that it is a trick they sold to me.

What Yamata no Orochi wants to see most is that I keep killing these five people over and over again until I kill them nine times. When the five of them appear for the tenth time, I am afraid that Yamata no Orochi will show up, and by then, my death will be not far away.

"You can find a way to restrict their actions, but don't kill them. In this way, the remaining souls will not be revived!"

Dragon Soul's words instantly inspired me. I immediately turned to look at Xiao Qi and said, "Xiao Qi, use your previous magic to exile them!"

"Okay!" Hearing this, Xiao Qi's eyes lit up, and a look of excitement appeared in his eyes.

Then, I saw Xiao Qi pouting and spitting softly at the five people.

Instantly, five balls of colorful rays of light were sprayed out by Xiao Qi. Under the sunlight, the five balls of colorful rays of light flashed with beautiful colors. They kept twisting and surging, and in the blink of an eye, they floated in front of the five people.

The next second, the five balls of colorful rays of light turned into five bubbles, trapping the five people. Even the five elemental powers that were always around their bodies were invalidated the moment they were trapped. It felt as if the bubbles blocked their connection with the world.

Afterwards, bubbles rose slowly, and flew away quickly along the wind direction...

"Haha, this little guy has grown very fast recently!" Dragon Soul couldn't help but sigh. I smiled and said, "You are growing very fast too. Now, you have merged three quarters of the Dragon Soul, and only the last quarter has not been merged. Once merged, you will return to the peak!"

"It's not that simple. My body was destroyed, and only the Dragon Soul is left. Even if I completely merge with the Dragon Soul, my strength will not be able to return to the peak. However... I can help you stand on the top of the world!"

I smiled and said nothing. At this time, I heard a creaking sound, and the door of the shrine was opened again.

Then, I saw a handsome young man walking out of the shrine with a smile on his face.

"General Zhang, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

He said calmly with a faint smile on his lips.
