Chapter 2539 - 2033: Soul Slave!

The second update, asking for subscriptions, monthly tickets~~~...

The Netherworld Ghost Mantis is not one to be trifled with; at this moment, it too was infuriated by Qin Fang. Those sharp double blades moved slowly, clearly on alert... If it hadn't felt the immense threat Qin Fang posed, it might have taken the initiative to attack.

But Qin Fang wouldn't waste such time...

Although he has only slightly entered the Nine Serenities Netherworld, the Netherworld Ghost Qi is still quite terrifying, and he must act swiftly and decisively.

Clang~~~

The Flowing Shadow Divine Sword released a crisp dragon-like sound, and then Qin Fang leapt forward, forcefully breaking through the blockade of the Netherworld Ghost Qi, instantly appearing beside the Netherworld Ghost Mantis... Rampant sword qi shook as it blasted towards the Netherworld Ghost Mantis.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh~~~

The Netherworld Ghost Mantis was already on guard and, upon seeing Qin Fang launching an attack, it didn't sit idly by. Its double blades swung rapidly, cleaving swiftly... Surprisingly, it released quite fierce blade qi.

Of course, this wasn't the kind of blade qi generated by human martial artists using their True Qi, but was automatically attached to its double blades by the surrounding Netherworld Ghost Qi... It is a Nether Beast, able to easily control this Netherworld Ghost Qi to serve itself.

This Nine Serenities Netherworld is the home court of the Netherworld Ghost Mantis, significantly boosting its strength...

However, it truly has bad luck to encounter Qin Fang.

Qin Fang's sword qi surged, the Annihilation Sword Intent was even more sinister and rampant, and the elemental energy attached was exceptionally formidable... Although the Netherworld Ghost Mantis's offensive was fierce, facing such multiple attacks made it look somewhat awkward.

Nonetheless, it seemed it could still hold its ground, and for the time being, it appeared difficult to take it down.

However...

Could Qin Fang not have any other moves?

Obviously not!

Just when the Netherworld Ghost Mantis was frantically defending against Qin Fang's sword qi onslaught, Qin Fang suddenly struck... A massive raging flame fist descended from the sky, and before the Netherworld Ghost Mantis could fully defend, it was ferociously smashed down.

Splat~~

The Netherworld Ghost Mantis was quite strong, and its defenses were quite astounding... However, due to the Netherworld Ghost Qi, the destructive power of Qin Fang's Flame Fist immediately multiplied several times, and with a single punch, it knocked this pinnacle-powered Netherworld Ghost Mantis down.

The flames burned its body, though not like burning the Netherworld Ghost Qi, but still left the Netherworld Ghost Mantis with significant injuries... not dead, but instantly losing its combat ability!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Fang immediately grabbed the Netherworld Ghost Mantis and easily took it out of the Nine Serenities Netherworld.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle~~~~

The weak body of the Netherworld Ghost Mantis immediately emitted such strange sounds when taken out of the Nine Serenities Netherworld, almost like a vampire exposed to the sunlight... seemingly gradually consuming its own vitality.

Perhaps this is why these Nether Beasts dare not exceed the bounds easily.

Qin Fang clearly noticed the Netherworld Ghost Mantis's strength was rapidly weakening... If it continued, it might die within minutes.

"What a bizarre Nether Beast..."

Qin Fang couldn't help but sigh... It's unfortunate, but he won't return the Netherworld Ghost Mantis to the Nine Serenities Netherworld.

Not only did he not release this Netherworld Ghost Mantis back, but Qin Fang also waited patiently for it to continue weakening... This was preparation to increase the success rate of using his "Soul Control Technique" skill.

Pang Sihai stood nearby, looking rather curious but said nothing, just watching.

Time passed second by second, and the Nether Beast Netherworld Ghost Mantis grew weaker and weaker, seemingly near collapse... Only then did Qin Fang leisurely make his move.

"Soul Control Technique..."

Qin Fang immediately used the Soul Control Technique skill on this extremely weakened Netherworld Ghost Mantis...

Only to see a progress bar quickly started reading. The speed wasn't particularly fast, but not slow either... Probably at most, it would take just over twenty seconds to complete.

Qin Fang's mood was somewhat anxious...

He wouldn't care about the Netherworld Ghost Mantis's life or death; at worst, he'd find another Nether Beast to continue testing. What truly made him nervous was the success rate of this Soul Control Technique skill... If even the Netherworld Ghost Mantis, weakened to this extent, couldn't be successfully controlled, then the skill would be worthless.

Over twenty seconds passed in the blink of an eye... Despite Qin Fang feeling the passage of time as agonizingly slow, it did not hinder the passage of time.

When the progress bar was completely finished reading and disappeared, Qin Fang was waiting expectantly for the result...

Then...

"Success!"

Qin Fang excitedly shouted out... At this moment, the Ghost Mantis was still the same Ghost Mantis. Others couldn't see any anomaly, but in Qin Fang's eyes, it already had Qin Fang's name attached to it.

"Soul Slave (Ghost Mantis)..."

This was the new name displayed for the Ghost Mantis on Qin Fang's mini-map...

"Go inside..."

Without any hesitation, Qin Fang ordered the Ghost Mantis... It dragged its extremely weakened body arduously toward the Nine Netherworld. The speed was slow, but the execution of the command was resolute.

"Soul Slave, huh?"

Qin Fang muttered softly, then gave a push from behind, and the Ghost Mantis immediately rushed into the Nine Netherworld... Although Qin Fang didn't care about the Ghost Mantis's life or death, it was under his control now, and he couldn't waste it.

A massive amount of ghostly energy was quickly absorbed into the Ghost Mantis's body, causing its power to increase at an incredibly terrifying speed.

Soon, it regained its strength to the absolute peak...

If its name hadn't changed, one wouldn't have known it had just walked through the Gates of Hell.

"Come out..."

When this Soul Slave's strength returned to the absolute peak, Qin Fang immediately gave it a new command...

As for the Ghost Mantis, this time it was unlike other Nether Beasts. As it walked out of the Nine Netherworld, it hesitated not the least bit, directly stepping out, even though its body was enduring extremely strong pressure, causing its strength to rapidly plummet once again. Yet, it hesitated not a bit.

"The Soul Control Technique... Truly terrifying!"

Only at this moment did Qin Fang truly understand the fearsome nature of the Soul Control Technique skill.

"This, this..."

Pang Sihai was directly dumbfounded, unable to imagine that what he was witnessing was truly happening... At the same time, his eyes changed dramatically when looking at Qin Fang, becoming deeper, and more... fearful.

He had walked the martial world for many years, considered experienced and knowledgeable...

Among them, he knew some grandmaster-level experts who could control beasts and fierce beasts, such as the "Wolf King" active in the Da Meng Grassland, who could simultaneously control thirteen incredibly fierce and hungry wolves.

Additionally, there were some overseas leaders of the White Shark Gang and the southwest Gu Mo and so on...

However, the means Qin Fang was using now was entirely different from the usual Beast Mastery, even said to have a world of difference... It was somewhat similar to the Tianxie Sect's method of controlling Evil Spirit Warriors.

"Go back and rest..."

Qin Fang continued experimenting with some peculiar applications of the Soul Control Technique, such as temporarily lifting the control.

The Ghost Mantis seemed to instantly regain consciousness... then, as if it encountered an incredibly dreadful punishment, swiftly flashed back into the Nine Netherworld, not even glancing at Qin Fang, hiding under the You Ming Di Yun Cao.

This was considered a normal reaction of the Ghost Mantis, as the Nine Netherworld was its habitat, and only when absolutely necessary would it be unwilling to stay outside the Netherworld... That, for it, was a kind of punishment.

"Come out..."

Qin Fang immediately ordered it again, as if there was a unique power invisibly connecting Qin Fang and the Ghost Mantis. Its Beast Soul was instantly shackled, then obediently followed Qin Fang's instructions, crawling out from under the You Ming Di Yun Cao and quickly coming toward Qin Fang.

Steps were quite resolute, without any reluctance, executing orders without the slightest discount.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

Seeing such a scene, Qin Fang couldn't help but chuckle.

This Soul Control Technique was truly too domineering, capable of controlling at will, allowing a Soul Slave to act independently without showing any flaws... Truly an extraordinarily domineering skill, no wonder this Skill Book was the only red skill among Qin Fang's many skills.

He already possessed quite an array of fearsome skills, but compared to this Soul Control Technique, those were truly weak in comparison...

Of course, the merit of a skill is not defined by this criterion.

Some skills that seem very trashy, if well-utilized, can be incomparable even to many strong skills... Conversely, some powerful skills, due to various constraints, cannot achieve optimal effects.

For example... the Soul Control Technique is one such skill.

He could control the Ghost Mantis because Qin Fang could first subdue the Ghost Mantis, achieving a high success rate in controlling it... But if he were to encounter a beast king of formidable strength, or a Paramount Expert, not being struck back would already be consider himself very lucky.

"Perhaps I can form a Ming Beast Army here..."

Understanding the fearsome nature of the Soul Control Technique, Qin Fang glanced at the vast Nine Netherworld ahead, with countless Nether Beasts... a mischievous smile appeared on his face.

These Nether Beasts were hardly weak, each extremely powerful. If he could gather an army of hundreds or thousands of Nether Beasts, equivalent to hundreds or thousands of Great Grandmaster-level experts, with just an order from Qin Fang, facing death fearlessly, even Paramount Experts might be obliterated...
