This method is indeed extraordinary; it can be said to be a law of the Martial Soul world. Even the Eastern Pope, who switched to the Primordial System, was almost frozen in place just now.
Unfortunately, even with his power sealed, Zhou Xingdou's power far exceeded the limits of this world. In the Martial Soul World, he truly transcended the Three Realms and was no longer bound by the Five Elements.
To me, these so-called world laws are like a child playing with a wooden puppet, telling me 1, 2, 3, don't move—utterly ridiculous.
At this moment, Zhou Xingdou was examining Xiao Rou's figure. She was not as voluptuous as A Lan, but her long, perfect legs, tightly wrapped in white silk, intrigued him.
Xiao Rou was completely unprepared for this sudden situation, but at this moment she had no time to think about why Zhou Xingdou was able to break in and remain unaffected.
Now that the die is cast, the most urgent task is to complete the sacrifice and save her lover.
Xiao Rou's cultivation and blood energy erupted at this moment, and blood-red flames suddenly ignited on her dark red spiritual body. These blood-red flames contained almost all of her power.
Zhou Xingdou raised an eyebrow at Xiao Rou's decisiveness. He had thought that this silly rabbit would argue with him for a while, but he didn't expect that she would not be silly this time and choose to quickly complete the sacrifice.
However, none of this mattered to Zhou Xingdou. If he made a move and she ended up sacrificing herself to Tang Gou San, he would lose face big time.
Everything in this world should belong to him, Zhou Xingdou.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xingdou's lips curled up, and he made strange hand seals.
Having lived through three lifetimes, his mastery of magic far exceeded others' imaginations. Moreover, in his previous life, in order to help the chosen one Lin Fan, he even practiced a lot of evil magic.
The reason why those techniques are not displayed on the system is because they are low-level or because one's own practice is not deep enough, so there is no need to record them.
In this situation, Zhou Xingdou happens to have a technique that works.
Evil cultivators in the Primordial Realm often sacrificed mortals to gain power. Some of these unscrupulous cultivators created a technique that allowed them to switch people, called the Soul-Guiding Seal.
The function of this technique is quite simple: it modifies the recipient of a sacrifice, allowing one to take possession of the fruits of another's hard-earned sacrifice.
This technique isn't actually that sophisticated, and its failure rate is quite high, but for such a low-level plane, it's almost no different from a divine technique with a 100% success rate.
A dark seal suddenly condensed in Zhou Xingdou's hand, causing ripples to spread within the frozen, blood-red space.
At this moment, Xiao Rou did not feel anything unusual. Looking at her Gou San Ge, a tear rolled down her cheek. The blood flames on her body became more intense, and her spirit body became ethereal.
"Brother Gou San, you must live..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire crimson space began to shake, transforming into a crimson halo that rapidly contracted around Tang Gou San.
As the crimson space receded, the things affected by the stillness began to recover, and Tang Gou San's eyes also resumed their trembling at this moment.
Looking at Xiao Rou engulfed in flames, Tang Gou San felt a heart-wrenching pain in his chest.
At this moment, the heartache surpassed the sum of all physical pain, and a tear of blood flowed from his deep blue, jewel-like pupils:
"No!"
Goodbye, Brother Gou San!
After leaving behind her last gentle words, Xiao Rou's spirit slowly dissipated, leaving only a ball of blood flame carrying her final love and tenderness as it rushed towards Tang Gou San.
But just then, a chuckle, amused voice rang in Tang Gou San's ears:
"It's so touching, I almost couldn't bring myself to do it."
The one who spoke was Zhou Xingdou, who was holding a dark and eerie talisman in his hand. Although he said something touching, the talisman in his hand was activated without hesitation in an instant.
The moment the talisman was activated, all the power in the world was drawn to the talisman in Zhou Xingdou's hand.
The blood flames that were rushing towards Tang Gou San, filled with Xiao Rou's love, tenderness, and everything else, suddenly turned and rushed into Zhou Xing Dou's body.
The crimson halo formed by the crimson space also simultaneously targeted Zhou Xingdou and contracted towards him.
All of this happened too fast. Tang Gou San was still immersed in the grief of Xiao Rou's sacrifice when Zhou Xing Dou transformed Xiao Rou's sacrifice.
By the time Tang Gou San reacted, Zhou Xing Dou was already surrounded by a red beast ring and was looking at him mockingly.
Tang Gou San's face, swollen like a pig's head, revealed an indescribable expression as he trembled and shouted at Zhou Xing Dou:
"You! Who are you? What did you do to Xiaorou?!"
At this moment, the five Martial Hall experts turned around, looked at Zhou Xingdou's peerless figure, and knelt down respectfully, saying:
"Greetings, Your Excellency."
Zhou Xingdou glanced at the five people indifferently and then ignored them. After all, he was very dissatisfied with their performance just now. If he were not a bloodthirsty person, he would have killed the five of them first.
Tang Gou San was nearly driven mad. His lover had burned everything, only to have it all absorbed by someone else. If he hadn't been vomiting blood, this blow would have probably made him vomit blood from anger.
Looking at Tang Gou San's manic expression, Zhou Xingdou couldn't help but laugh twice. It was really interesting to tease this pure and innocent Tang Gou San.
But still, out of great compassion, he spoke up:
"It's very simple. It's just that the target of the sacrifice was changed, so that her sacrifice to you became a sacrifice to me."
"Aaaaaah...! I'm going to kill you!"
Tang Gou San's eyes trembled, and crimson blood vessels instantly filled his eyeballs. An extremely painful feeling filled his whole body, making his scalp tingle. He roared and rushed towards Zhou Xing Dou.
Zhou Xingdou watched as Tang Gou San, who was struggling to jump on one leg and charging towards him, found the scene somewhat comical and snapped his fingers slightly.
In an instant, the red beast ring surrounding his body flashed, and a semi-transparent spirit condensed beside Zhou Xingdou.
The moment the spirit appeared, Tang Gou San paused, and cried out emotionally:
"Xiaorou!"
Indeed, the spirit beside Zhou Xingdou is Xiao Rou, who disappeared after the sacrifice.
The so-called power of the 100,000-year-old beast ring held no appeal for Zhou Xingdou, so he naturally couldn't refine it for his own use, lest it defile his precious body.
Therefore, he refined the Blood Flame into a soul that would never be separated from him, fighting for him for all eternity and protecting him by his side.
Of course, fighting for Zhou Xingdou and protecting him are just metaphors. This soul spirit doesn't actually have that much power, but under Zhou Xingdou's refinement, it has gained power comparable to the peak.
Xiao Rou's soul was exactly the same as her spirit body when she was sacrificed, the only difference being that her once bright and lively eyes were now dull and lifeless, as if empty.
After admiring Xiao Rou's spirit for a moment, Zhou Xingdou looked at Tang Gou San, who was stunned by the appearance of the spirit, and teased him in a way that Tang Gou San could understand:
"This is the skill I gained from the sacrifice. I named it 'Soft Bone Bride.' Do you think it sounds nice?"
