Chapter 33 Soul Assassination

"Alright."

Wang Dahai nodded in response and then sat cross-legged.

You should know that when a cultivator's soul goes out to attack others, their physical body becomes extremely weak. Just in case, Nanny Chen had to protect Wang Dahai. After all, she was also a cultivator at the Great Perfection stage of a warrior, and she did have some abilities.

Before taking action, Wang Dahai had already planned a series of strategies in his mind. Although he was dealing with someone who didn't seem to have much strength, this attack had to be foolproof.

First, he quietly sent out a mouse that he had raised, letting it sneak into the Zhiqiu Courtyard where Jiang Li was staying to investigate Jiang Li's movements and see if there was anything unusual so that he could be prepared in advance.

The mouse was extremely clever. It quietly scurried towards the Zhiqiu Courtyard along the corners of the walls, the beams of the house and other hidden places.

Before long, the mouse sent back a message, informing Wang Dahai that Jiang Li was cultivating in his room and there were no other unusual people or things around.

Wang Dahai thought to himself,"Humph, this kid is quite diligent. But tonight will be your unlucky day."

At this time, Wang Dahai slowly closed his eyes, and his soul slowly separated from his body and drifted towards the Zhiqiu Courtyard where Jiang Li was.

That soul shuttled through the night like a shadow, silent and soundless.

First, it circled once over the Jiang Mansion to observe the surrounding environment. Then, he raised his hand and released four mice, which landed at the four corners of the courtyard. An invisible enclosed formation was set up. This formation was specifically designed to block sounds and auras, and it would only last for the time it took to burn a stick of incense, but that was enough for him to use.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he then drifted towards Jiang Li's room.

Jiang Li was cultivating in his room at this time. Although his realm was not as high as Wang Dahai's, he was a cultivator who practiced both soul and martial arts, and his perception was rather sharp. When Wang Dahai's spiritual consciousness approached where he was, Jiang Li immediately noticed it.

He was startled and thought to himself,"Why is there such an obvious fluctuation of soul power attacking me in the middle of the night? Could it be that there's some evildoer?"

Immediately, Jiang Li didn't dare to slack off at all. He quickly activated his soul power and formed a faint soul power shield around his body. At the same time, he clenched his fists and gathered the martial power within his body, getting ready to deal with unexpected situations at any time.

Wang Dahai's soul passed through layers of walls and drifted into the room like a ghost. Looking at Jiang Li sitting in meditation on the bed and sensing that layer of soul power shield, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"No, I can't just sit here and wait for death!" Jiang Li thought to himself through gritted teeth. The opponent had released his soul outside his body, not just simple spiritual consciousness. When the soul was released like this, it could launch attacks and also touch objects.

If he couldn't attack the opponent with just his physical body, then he needed to attach his soul power to his fists or sword to fight back.

Wang Dahai launched another powerful impact. Jiang Li's soul trembled, and he couldn't help but cough up several mouthfuls of blood. He just felt dizzy and his vision went a bit black.

Jiang Li gritted his teeth, summoned the Mo Li Sword from his storage ring, and attached his soul power to the sword blade. As a result, the pitch-black sword body emitted a faint golden light. That golden light was particularly dazzling in this dim room, like a ray of dawn, breaking through the gloom in the room.

Jiang Li tightly grasped the Mo Li Sword, and the faint golden light emitted by the sword body due to the attached soul power was especially eye-catching in this dim room.

Wang Dahai, who was still launching attacks, saw this scene and couldn't help showing an incredulous look in his eyes.[This kid has actually cultivated his soul, but how come he also has a martial spirit? He's cultivating both soul and martial arts!]

At this time, Wang Dahai also understood what was going on. This kid had actually chosen this path. He couldn't help but feel a bit surprised, and more than that, he mocked the kid for being reckless.

The attacks from his hands became more and more fierce until cracks appeared on the shield. With the final blow hitting the shield.

"Crack!"

The shield then shattered, sending out a blinding white light. Although Wang Dahai was in the form of a soul and wouldn't be irritated by the strong light in his eyes, he still couldn't see clearly what was inside the light.

At this very moment, the pitch-black tip of the sword stabbed towards him. Wang Dahai quickly turned his head to dodge, but the scorching golden soul power still grazed his soul as it passed by, causing a sharp pain and making Wang Dahai couldn't help but take a sharp breath.

"Good kid! You can actually counterattack so fiercely!" Wang Dahai was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to underestimate Jiang Li any more.

He quickly dodged backward and passed through the door. He thought that Jiang Li could only rely on his physical body and planned to take advantage of the environment to fight against him.

However, he still underestimated Jiang Li's decisiveness. Jiang Li gathered his spiritual power in his legs, took a few steps forward, exerted force, and then kicked the wooden door with a flying kick.

With a "crack" sound, he burst through the door. Jiang Li planned to pursue his victory. Just as he landed, a faint light rose from under his feet.

[Oh no! It's a formation!] He didn't expect that this person had set up a formation without him noticing! Jiang Li thought to himself that things were not looking good. But by now, he was already in the formation, and it was no easy feat to get out.

Suddenly, the formation activated. Rays of light rose from the ground, intertwined and wound around each other, forming a huge cocoon of light that trapped Jiang Li inside.

Inside the light cocoon, the light flickered, and from time to time, streaks of electric current flashed through, making a "sizzling" sound, like venomous snakes ready to devour people.

Wang Dahai stood outside the formation, with a smug smile on his face."Humph, kid, let's see how you can escape this time! In this Soul Trapping Formation, just obediently await your death!"

As he spoke, he quickly formed seals with his hands and recited incantations, continuously injecting his soul power into the formation, trying to further enhance the power of the formation and completely trap Jiang Li.

Trapped in the formation, Jiang Li felt as if the surrounding space had become thick and viscous. Every movement was extremely difficult, as if countless hands were tearing at his soul.

Moreover, the constantly flashing electric currents would occasionally slash across his body, bringing a sharp pain that made his body tremble involuntarily.
