Chapter 396: I Want the Leader Alive

The group blocking their way consisted of about 20 or 30 people . Each of them was mounted on a valiant demonic beast, with a few of them being Dragon Ascension Realm experts . In fact, one of them was even a late-stage Dragon Ascension Realm expert . This could be considered a group of decent strength .

Each of them had a dreadful human skeleton emblem embroidered on their clothes, signifying that they were members of this Bloodsin City's Skeleton Gang . They were known for being cruel and partaking in all sorts of crimes, including murder, arson, rape, banditry, and so on . They weren't exactly the strongest in the city, however . Their reputation was generally only used to scare the newcomers or the weaker cultivators .

This group's leader was mounted on an armored skeleton horse . His eyes radiated bloodlust, and he had a dagger in his hand . He looked at Xiang Shaoyun's group coldly and said, "Leave all your storage rings and this Demon Emperor behind, and you will be allowed to enter the Bloodsin City alive . Or else, die . "

The person speaking was a peak seventh-stage Emperor . His name was Badar, and he did have the strength to speak so arrogantly . Unfortunately for him, he had not noticed that there was a ninth-stage Emperor among Xiang Shaoyun's group .

"You are actually trying to rob us? You sure are brave," said Devouring Ghost with a sinister glint in his eyes .

Over the three months, he had restored his cultivation level to the fifth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm . Even when facing these Skeleton Gang members, he would still be able to put up a fight .

"Where are you from?" Badar probed cautiously .

He knew very well that among the visitors to the Bloodsin City, a lot of them were from the large organizations of the Western Desert, and they were the people the Skeleton Gang could not afford to offend .

"You are not qualified to know . Piss off if you know what's good for you . Or else, die," said Devouring Ghost with a sinister smile .

"Lord Badar, since they have not arrived through the teleportation formation, it is obvious their background is nothing special . Just kill them and get this over with," said someone beside Badar .

"Ok . Let's not waste any time . Kill them," said Badar while licking his lips with a cruel glint in his eyes .

At that command, Badar's underlings attacked . They did not have the habit of fighting people one on one . Rather, they generally swarmed their enemies with their numerical superiority . A large number of energy attacks flew toward Xiang Shaoyun's group; no mercy was shown .

But before the attacks could arrive, a saber energy of several meters long shot out . Instantly, the sharp saber energy crossed a large distance . Next, about eight heads were cut off from their bodies like vegetables being cut by a kitchen knife .

Nearly half of the incoming attacks dispersed, and the remaining attacks could no longer pose much threat to Xiang Shaoyun's group . That was the work of Du Xuanhao the Saber Emperor .

"Big Brother Du, I want the leader alive," said Xiang Shaoyun .

"Sure," Du Xuanhao replied as he started slaughtering his opponents .

Badar was completely dumbstruck . He had just realized that he had provoked the wrong opponent this time . He took out an object and tried to call for help from his companions in the city, but before he could do that, Du Xuanhao stamped him into the ground . Du Xuanhao was now a ninth-stage Emperor, residing at the peak of the realm . It was far too easy for him to defeat these opponents .

"I beg you, please spare me," Badar quickly begged, not daring to resist at all .

"You want to live? Sure . But you have to be obedient . Or else, you will end up like them," said Xiang Shaoyun .

"Yes, yes, I will definitely be obedient . I will do whatever you tell me to," Badar completely conceded .

In truth, he was still scheming inwardly . He was hoping that they would spare him for now . The moment they entered the city, his gang leader would definitely come rescue him . Little did he know that he was now beyond saving .

"Good . Open up your soul to me and do not resist . Otherwise, just wait to be destroyed in both body and soul," said Xiang Shaoyun, smiling like a fiend .

Badar instantly grew anxious . "W-what are you trying to do?"

"You don't need to know . Just shut up and do as told . This is your only choice if you want to live," said Xiang Shaoyun .

He then activated his Nether Dragon Soul Curse, sending numerous abstruse symbols drifting through the air toward Badar . Instantly, Badar's soul reacted . He could sense that the symbols were definitely bad for him, and he started struggling by instinct .

As a seventh-stage Emperor, his soul power was considerably powerful . The current Xiang Shaoyun was completely incapable of binding his soul with force . And thus, his curse was defeated and failed to accomplish anything .

"He actually dares to resist? Big Brother Du, let him suffer for a bit," said Xiang Shaoyun .

Du Xuanhao immediately increased the strength in which he stepped on Badar, pushing him into the ground and causing him to yell in pain unceasingly . Xiang Shaoyun took this chance to use his curse again, trying to put Badar under his control .

Badar still struggled initially, but with Du Xuanhao stepping on him harder and harder, he could no longer put much focus on guarding his soul . Bit by bit, Xiang Shaoyun's curse latched on . Finally, a secondary Nether Dragon Soul Headband formed around Badar's soul, and the curse started eating away at his soul like maggots .

"Ahhhh!"

Badar started howling miserably, feeling like 10,000 maggots were chewing on his brain at the same time . His mental fortitude started collapsing from the intense suffering that made being alive feel worse than death .

Unfortunately for him, the pain would only torture him and not kill . He rolled about on the ground, and the pain even reached a point he started knocking his head against the rocks in the area to try to kill himself . Even Du Xuanhao shivered at the sight . More and more, he found Xiang Shaoyun to be completely shrouded in a veil of mystery .

What secret technique is this exactly to be capable of torturing even a seventh-stage Emperor to such an extent?

After a while, Xiang Shaoyun finally stopped chanting . He looked at the battered and exhausted Badar before saying, "From now onward, you will be loyal to this young master . Otherwise, you will relive the same experience where living is worse than death . Also, don't dream that you will be free after my death . You will also die if I die . "

Badar was filled with utter regret, and he hated himself for somehow provoking such a little fiend out of nowhere .

"Badar pledges absolute and eternal loyalty to the young master," pledged Badar while kneeling before Xiang Shaoyun . He never wanted to experience the same suffering ever again .

"Good . Now tell me the current situation in the Bloodsin City," said Xiang Shaoyun with a satisfied look on his face .
