Just as the Soul-Breaking Spear landed in Wang Yan's hand, Wang Yan's body flickered like lightning and darted into the Imperial Guard. The chilling wind followed closely behind.
After witnessing the earlier example of the Demon Sun Yukun, the tens of thousands of guards scattered in fear.
However, no matter how they fled, they couldn't be faster than Wang Yan.
Wang Yan raised his hand and with several swift movements, dozens of guards were sent flying, colliding into the chilling wind.
The chilling wind swept them up, immediately capturing these dozens of guards into the Soul Capturing Armor.
Ying Zheng said coldly, "Even if you place everyone between you and me, I will still capture you."
With that said, Ying Zheng shook the Soul Capturing Armor, about to summon the chilling wind again to engulf Wang Yan.
But just at that moment, Ying Zheng suddenly felt the Soul Capturing Armor tremble in his hand, and it unexpectedly flew out of his control.
Ying Zheng was startled and hurriedly lunged forward, grabbing the Soul Capturing Armor with both hands.
Even so, the armor still exerted a strong suction force, dragging Ying Zheng forward.
Ying Zheng held onto the Soul Capturing Armor tightly and looked up in panic.
Sure enough, the direction the Soul Capturing Armor was flying was exactly where Wang Yan was standing.
At this moment, Wang Yan stood there, holding a Black Spear in one hand, while his other hand gestured toward the Soul Capturing Armor.
In his panic, Ying Zheng could only feel his Soul Capturing Armor being uncontrollably drawn towards Wang Yan.
And since Wang Yan happened to have his right hand spread, Ying Zheng naturally thought that the anomaly was related to Wang Yan's right hand, thus overlooking the Soul-Breaking Spear in Wang Yan's left hand.
This realization truly frightened Ying Zheng.
The Soul Capturing Armor was a treasure Ying Zheng had accidentally acquired, through which he continuously absorbed the souls of Demon Cultivators from the Underworld to enhance his own cultivation. It was thanks to this that Ying Zheng could break through all the way to the level of the Demon God.
Upon reaching the Realm of Double Flower, however, the Demon Cultivators of the Great Qin Empire were no longer enough to help him break through to the Realm of Three Flowers.
Hence, Ying Zheng released some lingering souls into the Human World through the Soul Capturing Armor.
Through these lingering souls, he could also transform humans into ghostly beings, slowly extracting human souls, using them to aid in further breakthroughs.
This was precisely why Ying Zheng was reluctant to use the Soul Capturing Armor against Wang Yan unless necessary.
Yet Ying Zheng believed that once the Soul Capturing Armor was unleashed, Wang Yan would have no chance of survival.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yan somehow managed to make the Soul Capturing Armor lose control.
This was what truly terrified Ying Zheng; if he lost the Soul Capturing Armor, he would lose a swift path to advancing his cultivation.
Thus, Ying Zheng let out a loud roar and pulled back, trying to retrieve the Soul Capturing Armor.
However, the suction from the armor was too great, making it impossible for Ying Zheng to draw it back, bringing him closer to Wang Yan instead.
Wang Yan's right hand gestured, watching Ying Zheng flounder like ants in a hot pot, amused at heart, and thought: Now it's your turn to feel panic.
When the Black Cherry was absorbed, Wang Yan was equally panicked, and it was only with Duobao's help that he understood the connection between Black Cherry and the Soul Capturing Armor.
Now, with Ying Zheng alone and in the midst of a conflict, how could he possibly comprehend the key?
Hence, the more flustered and agitated Ying Zheng became, the closer the Soul Capturing Armor got to Wang Yan.
Wang Yan kept his eyes on Ying Zheng, ready to seize the Soul Capturing Armor as soon as it came close.
As the distance between the two diminished, Ying Zheng's panic reached its peak.
Suddenly, Ying Zheng gritted his teeth and shouted, "Sun Yukun, come here."
At this moment, Sun Yukun had just recovered from excruciating pain. Seeing Ying Zheng being pressured by Wang Yan, he was frightened and contemplating escape.
Upon hearing Ying Zheng's call, Sun Yukun was even more terrified and hesitated to move forward.
But in just his moment of hesitation, his head started to ache severely again.
Helplessly, Sun Yukun gritted his teeth and rushed forward.
Sun Yukun had just flown to Ying Zheng's side when Ying Zheng lifted a foot, kicking Sun Yukun towards Wang Yan.
As soon as Sun Yukun was kicked near Wang Yan, a "boom" was heard, and Sun Yukun's body exploded, turning into a bloody rain between Wang Yan and Ying Zheng.
Using the force of Sun Yukun's self-detonation, Ying Zheng finally gained a moment to breathe. He quickly pulled back the Soul Capturing Armor, absorbing it into his body.
Even though it was absorbed, the enormous suction still lingered faintly.
Ying Zheng's panic didn't subside, and he was now considering retreat.
So, with a flicker of his body, he attempted to escape.
But just as Ying Zheng turned, he suddenly saw a figure flicker in front of him—Wang Yan standing in his path.
Seeing Wang Yan in front of him, Ying Zheng almost exploded with rage.
Clearly, half a day ago, this Wang Yan was nothing in his eyes.
But how, in just half a day, did Wang Yan overpower him, leaving one less Double Flower, and he didn't even dare to deploy his remaining Golden Flower. And his most prized Soul Capturing Armor, by some spell from Wang Yan, almost got out of his control, rendering escape a mere hope.
The more Ying Zheng thought about it, the more anxious he became. Although he wanted nothing more than to devour Wang Yan alive, his will to fight was completely gone.
Without hesitation, Ying Zheng turned to flee once more.
Yet as Ying Zheng turned, he still found Wang Yan blocking his path.
This time, Ying Zheng was both shocked and terrified. With a steely gaze, he gritted his teeth and pointed to the ground of Xianyang City below.
With this point, the entire ground of Xianyang City began to tremble violently, followed by fierce breaths erupting one after another, accompanied by thunderous booming sounds.
Under the impact of these breaths, everyone standing on the ground was in danger of being blasted into the sky. This included the Imperial Guard, Beiming Xue, Elder Si Qin, and others.
Seeing Beiming Xue and others in danger, Wang Yan didn't hesitate. He immediately abandoned Ying Zheng, flickered to the front of Beiming Xue and others, and a shimmer of Golden Flower appeared above, enveloping the members of Mozi Academy.
At this point, the entire Xianyang City was thrown into chaos, with countless explosions erupting from underground. No one could escape the explosive impact.
The tens of thousands of guards were all blasted into the sky, their bodies shredded mid-air, turning Xianyang City into a bloodstained hell.
Witnessing this, the people of Mozi Academy sheltered under the Golden Flower couldn't help but feel fortunate. If Wang Yan hadn't protected them, they would have also been blown to pieces.
In the span of a moment, the explosions finally subsided, leaving Xianyang City awash with blood, limbs scattered everywhere, yet Ying Zheng's presence was nowhere to be found.
But at this moment, from the horizon came Ying Zheng's furious roar: "Wang Yan, just you wait. I swear, in a hundred days, I will attack Mozi Academy and turn it into a river of blood just the same—"
