The woman's eyes showed both desperation and anger as she lost all of the corpse qi she had gathered in the last 2 years.

"You… you people really know how to get in the way of others, don't you. Even after I killed the cat you're not backing off," the woman said.

"You've already lost all your corpses Qi, you evil soul. Now leave Ulkai's body and repent in hell," Kacim said a halo around him started to get brighter.

"Already lost? Me? Hehehe… let me show you the power I really have."

The woman suddenly stopped being on guard and took a deep breath. Ikusa and Kacim got on their guard but nothing happened.

"What's going o— " Suddenly, cries of surprise appeared from down below as the many women and corpses lost their corpse Qi, which flew up to the woman in the air.

The many Buddhists who came to the battlefield after Kaezir's scolding were now looking at confusion as they no longer knew what to do. However, they still held the barrier around their allies on the battlefield so that they didn't get hit by stray attacks.

Ikusa and Kacim realized what was happening, but were too late to stop it. So, the moment they saw the woman's skin go back to being blue again, they started fighting once more.

Ning was on the ground, looking at the fight taking place above him.

Suddenly, he heard screams. The woman on the ground who had just lost all corpse Qi started running around crazily trying to escape.

Everyone ran in whatever direction they could, and inevitably some ran towards him. Ning took out his sword and prepared to fight.

His sword glowed yellow as he clashed with the women. He was easily defeating women in the Foundation Establishment realm now.

It wasn't that he was too strong, but rather that the women were too weak.

'It's almost like they lost all of their strength along with the corpse Qi they just got taken away from them. This is much severe than when I stole away the corpse qi,' Ning thought.

Some fights were done in a few seconds while some took up to 2-3 minutes to finish. By the end, he was tired as hell. He couldn't wait to return back to his cottage and fall asleep on his bed.

The moment he killed the final woman who was attacking him, he heard maniacal laughter from up in the sky.

"I can't believe you really defeated me. But you two seem to keep forgetting something. Although you keep calling me an evil soul, you don't treat me like one," the woman shouted.

Kacim and Ikusa were a little curious as to what she meant.

"My preparation lacked outside knowledge, so I failed. But that is all that happened today. My failure. You keep saying you guys will kill me but do you even know how to? Hahaha," the woman launched.

"Can you lousy foundation establishment realm cultivators really destroy a Nascent Soul by themselves?" the woman asked with a smug smile on her face.

"Oh, no. She's going to escape," Kacim said as she realized why she suddenly started talking.

"We won't let y— " Ikusa shouted but then, Ulkai did something weird. She took the sword and cut her own left arm at once.

"Arghhh!!" She grunted a little, but there was more smile on her face than pain.

"Wh— What are you doing?" Kacim couldn't help but ask. He would've never imagined someone desperate to survive would start killing themselves.

"You know, it's not very easy to detach yourself from a body once you've attached yourself to it. Although it has only been 2 years since I joined with this body, I still managed to adapt quite a lot to it."

"So, unless I do something as shocking as this, the body doesn't realize that it has to reject me… and" the woman's voice was starting to face now.

"Only then can I leave this body. I met you two today and that was quite a surprise, but worry not, I will definitely return one day again. For now, I will take your own people's body and hide in it" the woman said.

Suddenly, a black, ethereal figure with a blue glow appeared from inside Ulkai's body as Ulkai's body fell to the ground. She was already dead long ago.

Kacim immediately screamed, "All Elders, immediately use your best scripture and protect everyone."

"Tsk. You are quite fast, but fortunately, not all of your people seem to be smart enough to gather around," the dark soul said.

"What?" Ikusa and Kacim looked around and found Ning who was standing amongst the midst of the woman's corpses he had killed earlier.

"Oh no, she has a free target," Ikusa said.

"Kid, go inside one of the barriers now," Kacim screamed. "She is trying to take over your body."

"Too late," the soul exclaimed and swiftly flew over to Ning.

Ning was shocked at what he had just heard. 'Soul taking over my body? The body I spent so much time making, the body I spent so much time cultivating, the same body that is the only reminder of my time when I wasn't something other than a human. That soul is going to take it?'

"LIKE HELL YOU WILL!"

Ning immediately brought his high above his head. Golden light started glowing from the sword, but this time the light was far brighter than anything he had seen yet.

"Haha, you think normal blades can cut through a s— No! What is that? WHY DO YOU HAVE THAT?" the soul screamed.

Ning didn't hear anything. Simply, the moment the soul was less than 3 meters from him, he finally swung the sword.

Radiant Holy Slash

A large golden attack appeared as it flew directly into the flying soul.

"No! Not again. I refuse to believe that I would be defeated by someone like this. Why… why do I always end up being killed by someone with Holy energy," the ghost screamed for a few moments.

And then it died.
