Nine men and nine mounts rushed across the stone bridge like the wind.
Suddenly, there was a change in the situation.
A figure appeared out of nowhere in the center of the stone bridge which was originally empty. The figure's back was facing Yang Dingtian and his escorts, blocking the way.
This person appeared out of nowhere and there was no one on the bridge earlier.
This person was wearing a green robe and there was a wooden stick inserted in his hair. He looked simple and unconstrained.
The eight experts from the Heaven Dao Union had a change in expression as they immediately circled around Yang Dingtian. The leader, who was a Martial Ancestor class expert, went forward and greeted, "Friend, do us a favor and let us pass."
The one who blocked them didn't turn around and said indifferently, "Leave that person and you may leave. I will not kill all of you."
The expert from the Heaven Dao Union had this change in expression as he spoke coldly, "May I know who are you? Must you treat us as enemies today?"
"Treat you as enemies? Just the few of you? You aren't worthy," The one who blocked path said indifferently. He turned around and revealed a mediocre face, it was someone who Yang Dingtian had never met before. He then pointed at Yang Dingtian and said, "Leave him behind and you may leave!"
"You want us to leave him? Kill us first then you can talk," The expert from the Heaven Dao Union spoke in a cold voice and all eight of them drew their swords.
The one who was obstructing them drew out a thin blade from his sleeve slowly and said, "Kill all of you? Okay then."
"Extermination Killing Sword Formation!" The eight experts all raised their swords high and brandished them orderly. Eight lights converged and formed a luminous ray of blue light which was blinding to the eyes and shot towards the man who was blocking them.
Once the eight of them combined their strength, their overall strength surpassed a Martial Supreme class expert. The power of this sword light wasn't earth-shattering, but it was enough to level a tower which was several floors in height. Even if there were a few hundred martial artists like Yang Dingtian together, they would all be turned into dust by this sword ray.
The man who was obstructing them didn't panic or hurry. He gently drew a sword flower and when they felt he was about to raise his sword and block, he placed the sword on his back. His left hand aimed at the attacking sword light and gently flicked at it.
"Boom…" It was like a bomb, a silent explosion.
Overwhelmingly powerful energy poured out.
In an instant, it was dazzling and the boundless power instantly turned the Extermination Killing Sword light into nothing. It was the sword formation that combined all eight experts' strength and the man was lazy to even use his weapon and merely flicked it away with his finger.
The eight Heaven Dao Union experts were completely shocked. When the man appeared in the middle of the stone bridge, they knew he was a martial expert, but they didn't expect him to be on this exaggerated level. Put aside being far inferior or the level where they could even be comparable with. It was totally the difference between a star and a moon, or the ground and a mountain.
The Martial Ancestor class expert withdrew his sword and bowed while speaking, "This friend. No matter what issues you have, can you let us finish our mission and send the target to Cloud Heaven City first? If you can do us this favor, then our Heaven Dao Union will owe you one."
Originally, these people had to keep their identity as Heaven Dao Union a secret, but because they had encountered such a martial expert, they had to call out their status. Otherwise, when it came to killing, it might become a conflict between two major influential forces.
"Heaven Dao Union?" The man's brows shook slightly as he looked at Yang Dingtian and said, "You actually found the Heaven Dao Union to be your bodyguards? You are really giving me a lot of trouble, huh?"
The Heaven Dao Union's leader spoke in a prideful expression, "Since this expert knows about our Heaven Dao Union, then please do us this favor."
"The Heaven Dao Union is frightening." The obstructing man raised the thin sword and said, "But I still give you the same proposal. You either hand over the man or die?"
"Hand over the man? My Heaven Dao Union can't afford to be humiliated like this," The Heaven Dao Union expert spoke in a cold voice and suddenly raised his longsword to prepare for battle.
"Sure. Then I shall kill a few ants from the Heaven Dao Union," The obstructing man vigorously swung the thin sword, then an extremely powerful energy enveloped the entire stone bridge. The firm and stable stone bridge instantly let out a cracking sound.
"Hold on!" Yang Dingtian couldn't let the Heaven Dao Union people die like this. He immediately walked over.
"Stop. Quickly retreat back into the protection formation," The leader of the experts stated.
Yang Dingtian looked at him and said, "Your protection has already ended. You have done an exceptional job along the way. You may return and report back to your organization."
Finishing his statement, Yang Dingtian dismounted the horse and walked towards the obstructing man. The expert from the Heaven Dao Union slightly hesitated, but he ended up allowing Yang Dingtian to walk over.
"I am ultimately unable to escape from your evil clutches… Senior," Yang Dingtian walked forward and spoke in a helpless voice.
The man who obstructed the path was obvious the Temple of Blood's Temple Master, Dugu Xiao. But he just had a change of facial features right now. But Yang Dingtian still recognized his eyes and that mockingly arrogant behavior.
No wonder there wasn't a single pursuer since Yang Dingtian rode the Golden Lion Vulture from the Temple of Blood. Dugu Xiao didn't even treat his escape as a problem and he could capture Yang Dingtian at any moment. But he didn't do it at the Rapture River, he didn't do it at the 500-kilometer influential range of the Temple of Blood and he didn't do it at the Land of Chaos. He didit just as Yang Dingtian was going to step into the territories of the Cloud Heaven City.
That's right, this was the way he did things. He would allow you to go to paradise first before dragging you down to hell.
Yang Dingtian looked at the devilish face which had this mocking expression. He couldn't help but say, "Temple Master Dugu! If I didn't guess it wrong, when you gave me the two choices, you already knew I wasn't going to fight with the Mystic Martial Master and would choose to escape immediately right?"
"That is correct." Dugu Xiao said, "No matter which choice you picked, it will be the same, as you will still choose to escape. To fulfill a promise with a man who goes against his own words isn't nobility… it is foolishness. It seems like you aren't so pedantic where there is no return.
Yang Dingtian asked, "You knew I was going to run, hence you allowed me to have the opportunity to run. You waited until I was almost home before you obstructed me and made me despair. That's right, this is your style of doing things. But isn't the price too much? You sacrificed over a dozen, loyal Bat Blood Guards, just to torment and toy with me?"
"Who asked you to actually win against me before? It is a very pleasant feeling to finally meet a match. Of course, I have to play with all my effort." Dugu Xiao said, "I expected that you were going to escape, but I really wanted to know how were you going to get rid of the Bat Blood Guards. I didn't expect you to do it effortlessly, by using the Fire Demon Violent Lion to turn them into pulps of flesh. If I didn't guess it wrong, the Fire Demon Violent Lion didn't kill you when you exited the Blood Pool because of the Blood Token. It was because of something else. What was the reason for the Fire Demon Violent Lion to not kill you and even have a slight fear towards you?"
That Teardrop Necklace instantly appeared in Yang Dingtian's mind.
"Say it. Otherwise, I will cripple your mystic meridians and blow up your qi vessel." Dugu Xiao said, "To you, this should be an even more terrifying consequence than death."
Yang Dingtian's body shuddered. He was right, this was a worse suffering than death. Moreover, Dugu Xiao was a devil and he would surely do what he preached.
The Fire Demon Violent Lion was a Grandmaster class demonic beast, but once it saw the Teardrop Necklace, it was so frightened that its soul almost escaped. It meant that the Teardrop Necklace was definitely something that would frighten the Temple Master Dugu Xiao as well. Yang Dingtian felt somehow that, as long as he revealed it, he would definitely be safe.
Yang Dingtian opened up his arms and shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he had nothing to say.
"You aren't going to say it?" Dugu Xiao asked.
Yang Dingtian nodded.
Dugu Xiao instantly raised his hand and placed it on Yang Dingtian's shoulder. As long as a tenth of his mystic qi, or even a hundredth of his mystic qi blew a little, Yang Dingtian's qi vessel would immediately explode and his mystic meridians would be ruined. He would become a complete cripple, and all his missions and dreams would all become a puff of smoke.
This was perhaps the most dangerous moment for Yang Dingtian and his body was actually trembling.
"I thought you wouldn't be afraid," Dugu Xiao stated.
"Of course I will be afraid." Yang Dingtian said, "But I will not let my fear win against my courage."
Dugu Xiao sneered and asked, "That means you aren't going to say it right?"
Yang Dingtian nodded. His attitude might seem casual, but his heart was extremely firm.
"Alright, so be it. Everyone has their right to keep a secret," Dugu Xiao spoke and immediately took his hand off Yang Dingtian's shoulder.
Was he not going to ruin Yang Dingtian?
In this instant, Yang Dingtian was a little stupefied. What was going on with this Great Devil? What kind of show was he acting?
He was previously speaking in a tone that was not negotiable and would ruin Yang Dingtian if he didn't say it. Now, he just casually let Yang Dingtian off?
What kind of game was this Great Devil trying to play?
Immediately after, Dugu Xiao said, "That's right. When you were cultivating in the Blood Pool, you met Dugu Fengwu, right?"
Yang Dingtian nodded.
"And she was stark naked?" Dugu Xiao asked again.
Yang Dingtian nodded again.
"But, you didn't take the opportunity to taint her and took advantage of her right?" Dugu Xiao said, "I have examined Fengwu. Her virginity isn't broken and she still has a pure body."
Yang Dingtian instantly let out a breath of relief and said, "Many thanks for senior proving my innocence."
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me." Dugu Xiao said, "I spoke to Dugu Fengwu like this, I said: 'Fengwu, don't be sad. Even though that beast, Yang Dingtian, took advantage and tainted your body, you are still pure in father's heart.' Fengwu was very angry and immediately wanted to jump out from her bed to rip you into pieces. But you interrupted her when she was cultivation and her mystic meridians were damaged. She has to take some time to recuperate. She will be fully recovered in a few months to half a year. The first day she exits from seclusion, she will immediately leave the Temple of Blood to come to kill you. So you have to be cautious by then."
"Ahh…" Yang Dingtian instantly widened his eyes and glared at Dugu Xiao while saying, "How... how could you say such a thing to her?"
"We are evenly matched, but you are a small figure and it wouldn't be nice for me to kill you, but I cannot keep an eye on your forever. I can't let you off so comfortably, so I found you another even more troublesome opponent." Dugu Xiao said, "Of course, Dugu Fengwu's talents are great, hence she is overly arrogant and considers everyone beneath her. I need to find her an opponent, but Dongfang Bingling is too far away and you just happened to visit. So it was the perfect moment for me to make use of you."
Yang Dingtian instantly clenched his teeth hard. A random banter from this Great Devil was enough to torment him miserably. Facing off against a prejudiced and hostile woman, furthermore, she was a powerful woman with martial prowess. Yang Dingtian shivered just from the imagination.

How was her heart? Yang Dingtian knew it very clearly as she was a murderer who killed humans like she was killing livestock.
Immediately after, Dugu Xiao laughed and said, "Alright then. You take care. I will leave now."
"You... you are going to leave like this?" Yang Dingtian had a surprise. The Great Devil had tormented Yang Dingtian countless times and by blocking him at the final juncture of his journey back to Cloud Heaven City, it caused his heart to plunge into the abyss. Yang Dingtian had already made the worst preparations, but he didn't expect Dugu Xiao to let him off so easily.
Dugu Xiao really turned and walked away, walking towards the northeast direction where the Temple of Blood was.
After walking for a moment, he suddenly turned back to speak to Yang Dingtian, "Your breakthrough in the Blood Pool was truly astounding. If I didn't remember it wrong, in the history of the Blood Pool, the best result was merely breaking through by two classes. But you broke through four classes, it is truly amazing. It was why when I saw you again at Dugu Aoshuang's room, I was so shocked that I was speechless."
"Senior has overpraised me," Yang Dingtian responded.
"But, if you are to duel with Qin Shaobai with your current cultivation, you will still be on the path to death. You are absolutely not his match." Dugu Xiao continued, "He is a little fox fused with a little venomous snake. He has concealed his strength more than you have ever imagined. He is much stronger than you can even predict. I have made some calculations for the duel between you and him. You will, at best, be able to withstand around four moves before instantly collapsing and dying afterward."
The facial muscles on Yang Dingtian's face twitched as he wanted to say something ruthless. But it was obvious that Dugu Xiao wasn't someone who would speak without thinking. But he was determined that with effort, one could do anything.
"I have a technique that can allow you to turn defeat into victory." Dugu Xiao said, "This technique is called the Evil Soul Art. That's right, just the name is enough to know how evil it is. But it can help you to turn the tide."
Evil Soul Art!
Yang Dingtian instantly felt his entire body trembling!
Yes, it was one of the two most evil techniques. Furthermore, the technique had a story.
Two hundred years ago, the Wooden Sword Castle's young lord, Li Tianxiao, had a blood feud with the Northwest Qin Clan's third young master. They had decided to do a trial by duel.
Li Tianxiao had an unconventional lifestyle and he was a carefree individual, hence he didn't put a lot of his energy in cultivation. Thus, his cultivation was more than ten classes inferior to the Qin Clan's third young master.
Everyone assumed that Li Tianxiao was definitely going to die in the trial by duel!
But, after the duel, the result had shocked everyone. Li Tianxiao had achieved victory and he even instant killed the Qin Clan's third young master.
Everyone was utterly astonished and couldn't believe their eyes.
This battle made Li Xiaotian renowned in the world. Afterward, Li Xiaotian's cultivation made rapid progress and he was no longer a hedonistic son as he had become an astounding martial expert in the world.
How was he able to suddenly become so terrifyingly strong? To even instant kill an opponent that was more than ten classes superior to him?
The reason was the Evil Soul Art! The Evil Dao's supreme treasure manual, the Evil Soul Art!
It was said that as long as one had a complete grasp of the Evil Soul Art, and they are a weak person who has a formidable puppet battle soul, they can instantly kill an enemy who is several folds stronger than him.
The Evil Soul Art was separated into the Soul Assimilating Art and the Soul Burst Art!
The Soul Assimilating Art was to forcefully draw out the spirit soul of an expert and refine it into a powerful puppet battle soul. After refining it, the practitioner can store it into a special soul tool.
The Soul Burst Art was to wait until it was the most dangerous moment in a fight. The practitioner would then mix the puppet battle soul into one's own mystic qi and attack. There would be an instant burst of unlimited strength which could be used to instantly kill the enemy.
This sounds rather similar to refining a martial soul.
But in fact, it was entirely different. The refining of a martial soul was to refine a powerful demonic beast's battle soul into your own. Furthermore, this battle soul was permanent.
While the Evil Soul Art directly used an evil method or medicine to control an expert and forcefully draw out their spirit soul by using the Soul Assimilating Art. From then now, that expert would become a walking corpse.
Moreover, each puppet battle soul could only be used once.
Which mean to say that every time the practitioner used the Evil Soul Art, it would mean that the spirit soul was taken away from an expert and turns them into walking corpses.
Hence, it was the most terrifying wastage, which was so evil and so powerful that it makes anyone's hair stand on their ends.
Among the evil arts listed by the Heaven Dao Union, the Evil Soul Art was listed in the top ranks.
"As long as you have this technique, you will be able to kill Qin Shaobai, rescue Ximen Yanyan, and save Cloud Heaven City." Dugu Xiao asked, "How about it? Beg me then. Beg me to teach you."
"I'm sorry. I have no interest in it," Yang Dingtian spoke coldly and turned to leave.
Yang Dingtian had the utmost hatred for evil arts like this and it was something even more vicious and evil than the Yin Yang Devour Mystic Ritual. Once an individual got tainted by such an evil art, half their lifetime's cultivation would be ruined as there was always a price to pay for such a shortcut. Yang Dingtian had already rejected such a wonderful thing like the Yin Yang Devour Mystic Ritual, let alone this Evil Soul Art which was even eviler.
"This technique is something that countless people crave for and you actually don't want it?" Dugu Xiao said, "But when people want it, I will not give it. If you don't want it, I want to force it onto you."
Finishing his statement, Yang Dingtian's body flew forward and was immediately drawn over by Dugu Xiao. Immediately after, Dugu Xiao's palm pressed onto Yang Dingtian head, while he read out the mysterious and evil mnemonic chant.
"Boom…" It felt as though Yang Dingtian's mind had been forced open. An uncomparable powerful energy dug into his mind and into both his physical and mental body.
The technique method of the Evil Soul Art, the circulation method of the mystic qi and the mnemonic chant. Every word and sentence, every scene and image, was forcefully poured into the deepest part of Yang Dingtian's mind.
"Ahh, ahh… No, no…" Yang Dingtian screamed out intensely as he desperately struggled.
But it was useless. This Evil Soul Art was unendingly forced into Yang Dingtian's body through Dugu Xiao's hand. Every word and sentence was engraved into his brain and it was extremely clear and had a very deep impression.
Yang Dingtian used all his energy, willpower and mental strength to resist, repel and fight back!
In an instant, two energies and willpowers were in a frenzied struggle in Yang Dingtian's mind. Yang Dingtian had an excruciatingly painful expression as he was bleeding from his seven apertures. And his veins had popped out, as though he was about to die from his body bursting apart.
But even after the all-out effort from Yang Dingtian, he was still unable to resist against Dugu Xiao planting the Evil Soul Art into the depths of his mind.
Countless energy and information were branded into the depths of Yang Dingtian's mind.
After ten minutes, Dugu Xiao's hand loosened and Yang Dingtian instantly fell onto the ground.
The entire content of the Evil Soul Art, the deepest theory and even Dugu Xiao's unique understanding of the Evil Soul Art was all engraved in Yang Dingtian's mind and they couldn't be erased.
The Evil Soul Art was even more profound and more powerful than the one Li Tianxiao had knowledge of!
Nine men and nine mounts rushed across the stone bridge like the wind.
Suddenly, there was a change in the situation.
A figure appeared out of nowhere in the center of the stone bridge which was originally empty. The figure's back was facing Yang Dingtian and his escorts, blocking the way.
This person appeared out of nowhere and there was no one on the bridge earlier.
This person was wearing a green robe and there was a wooden stick inserted in his hair. He looked simple and unconstrained.

The one who blocked them didn't turn around and said indifferently, "Leave that person and you may leave. I will not kill all of you."
The expert from the Heaven Dao Union had this change in expression as he spoke coldly, "May I know who are you? Must you treat us as enemies today?"
"Treat you as enemies? Just the few of you? You aren't worthy," The one who blocked path said indifferently. He turned around and revealed a mediocre face, it was someone who Yang Dingtian had never met before. He then pointed at Yang Dingtian and said, "Leave him behind and you may leave!"

"Hold on!" Yang Dingtian couldn't let the Heaven Dao Union people die like this. He immediately walked over.
"Stop. Quickly retreat back into the protection formation," The leader of the experts stated.
Yang Dingtian looked at him and said, "Your protection has already ended. You have done an exceptional job along the way. You may return and report back to your organization."
Finishing his statement, Yang Dingtian dismounted the horse and walked towards the obstructing man. The expert from the Heaven Dao Union slightly hesitated, but he ended up allowing Yang Dingtian to walk over.
"I am ultimately unable to escape from your evil clutches… Senior," Yang Dingtian walked forward and spoke in a helpless voice.
The man who obstructed the path was obvious the Temple of Blood's Temple Master, Dugu Xiao. But he just had a change of facial features right now. But Yang Dingtian still recognized his eyes and that mockingly arrogant behavior.
No wonder there wasn't a single pursuer since Yang Dingtian rode the Golden Lion Vulture from the Temple of Blood. Dugu Xiao didn't even treat his escape as a problem and he could capture Yang Dingtian at any moment.

Yang Dingtian's body shuddered. He was right, this was a worse suffering than death. Moreover, Dugu Xiao was a devil and he would surely do what he preached.

He would become a complete cripple, and all his missions and dreams would all become a puff of smoke.
This was perhaps the most dangerous moment for Yang Dingtian and his body was actually trembling.

Yang Dingtian nodded. His attitude might seem casual, but his heart was extremely firm.
"Alright, so be it. Everyone has their right to keep a secret," Dugu Xiao spoke and immediately took his hand off Yang Dingtian's shoulder.

The facial muscles on Yang Dingtian's face twitched as he wanted to say something ruthless. But it was obvious that Dugu Xiao wasn't someone who would speak without thinking. But he was determined that with effort, one could do anything.
"I have a technique that can allow you to turn defeat into victory." Dugu Xiao said, "This technique is called the Evil Soul Art. That's right, just the name is enough to know how evil it is. But it can help you to turn the tide."
Evil Soul Art!
Yang Dingtian instantly felt his entire body trembling!
Yes, it was one of the two most evil techniques. Furthermore, the technique had a story.
Two hundred years ago, the Wooden Sword Castle's young lord, Li Tianxiao, had a blood feud with the Northwest Qin Clan's third young master. They had decided to do a trial by duel.
Li Tianxiao had an unconventional lifestyle and he was a carefree individual, hence he didn't put a lot of his energy in cultivation. Thus, his cultivation was more than ten classes inferior to the Qin Clan's third young master.
Everyone assumed that Li Tianxiao was definitely going to die in the trial by duel!
But, after the duel, the result had shocked everyone. Li Tianxiao had achieved victory and he even instant killed the Qin Clan's third young master.
Everyone was utterly astonished and couldn't believe their eyes.
This battle made Li Xiaotian renowned in the world. Afterward, Li Xiaotian's cultivation made rapid progress and he was no longer a hedonistic son as he had become an astounding martial expert in the world.
How was he able to suddenly become so terrifyingly strong? To even instant kill an opponent that was more than ten classes superior to him?
The reason was the Evil Soul Art! The Evil Dao's supreme treasure manual, the Evil Soul Art!
It was said that as long as one had a complete grasp of the Evil Soul Art, and they are a weak person who has a formidable puppet battle soul, they can instantly kill an enemy who is several folds stronger than him.
The Evil Soul Art was separated into the Soul Assimilating Art and the Soul Burst Art!
The Soul Assimilating Art was to forcefully draw out the spirit soul of an expert and refine it into a powerful puppet battle soul. After refining it, the practitioner can store it into a special soul tool.
The Soul Burst Art was to wait until it was the most dangerous moment in a fight. The practitioner would then mix the puppet battle soul into one's own mystic qi and attack. There would be an instant burst of unlimited strength which could be used to instantly kill the enemy.
This sounds rather similar to refining a martial soul.
But in fact, it was entirely different. The refining of a martial soul was to refine a powerful demonic beast's battle soul into your own. Furthermore, this battle soul was permanent.
While the Evil Soul Art directly used an evil method or medicine to control an expert and forcefully draw out their spirit soul by using the Soul Assimilating Art. From then now, that expert would become a walking corpse.
Moreover, each puppet battle soul could only be used once.
Which mean to say that every time the practitioner used the Evil Soul Art, it would mean that the spirit soul was taken away from an expert and turns them into walking corpses.
Hence, it was the most terrifying wastage, which was so evil and so powerful that it makes anyone's hair stand on their ends.
Among the evil arts listed by the Heaven Dao Union, the Evil Soul Art was listed in the top ranks.
"As long as you have this technique, you will be able to kill Qin Shaobai, rescue Ximen Yanyan, and save Cloud Heaven City." Dugu Xiao asked, "How about it? Beg me then. Beg me to teach you."
"I'm sorry. I have no interest in it," Yang Dingtian spoke coldly and turned to leave.
Yang Dingtian had the utmost hatred for evil arts like this and it was something even more vicious and evil than the Yin Yang Devour Mystic Ritual. Once an individual got tainted by such an evil art, half their lifetime's cultivation would be ruined as there was always a price to pay for such a shortcut. Yang Dingtian had already rejected such a wonderful thing like the Yin Yang Devour Mystic Ritual, let alone this Evil Soul Art which was even eviler.
"This technique is something that countless people crave for and you actually don't want it?" Dugu Xiao said, "But when people want it, I will not give it. If you don't want it, I want to force it onto you."
Finishing his statement, Yang Dingtian's body flew forward and was immediately drawn over by Dugu Xiao. Immediately after, Dugu Xiao's palm pressed onto Yang Dingtian head, while he read out the mysterious and evil mnemonic chant.
"Boom…" It felt as though Yang Dingtian's mind had been forced open. An uncomparable powerful energy dug into his mind and into both his physical and mental body.
The technique method of the Evil Soul Art, the circulation method of the mystic qi and the mnemonic chant. Every word and sentence, every scene and image, was forcefully poured into the deepest part of Yang Dingtian's mind.
"Ahh, ahh… No, no…" Yang Dingtian screamed out intensely as he desperately struggled.
But it was useless. This Evil Soul Art was unendingly forced into Yang Dingtian's body through Dugu Xiao's hand. Every word and sentence was engraved into his brain and it was extremely clear and had a very deep impression.
Yang Dingtian used all his energy, willpower and mental strength to resist, repel and fight back!
In an instant, two energies and willpowers were in a frenzied struggle in Yang Dingtian's mind. Yang Dingtian had an excruciatingly painful expression as he was bleeding from his seven apertures. And his veins had popped out, as though he was about to die from his body bursting apart.
But even after the all-out effort from Yang Dingtian, he was still unable to resist against Dugu Xiao planting the Evil Soul Art into the depths of his mind.
Countless energy and information were branded into the depths of Yang Dingtian's mind.
After ten minutes, Dugu Xiao's hand loosened and Yang Dingtian instantly fell onto the ground.
The entire content of the Evil Soul Art, the deepest theory and even Dugu Xiao's unique understanding of the Evil Soul Art was all engraved in Yang Dingtian's mind and they couldn't be erased.
The Evil Soul Art was even more profound and more powerful than the one Li Tianxiao had knowledge of!
