Chapter 228: Fight! (2)

Or could he control the opponent until death within half an hour?
Currently, he only observed the depletion of his own lifespan, with little effect on the main consciousness of this fused entity!
He had already guessed the overall situation of this fused entity.
There must be countless lingering souls around it.
And in the midst of these lingering souls, there was a soul that had been nurtured and born with intelligence.
This soul might have been exceptionally powerful during its lifetime, serving as the primary spiritual entity!
Another possibility was that this soul was formed through numerous lingering souls and various consciousness, a newly generated soul!
Or, there was an even more extreme possibility!
This soul was the consciousness of the person behind it!
From the beginning to now, the opponent’s attacks were indeed adept at affecting the soul.
These people were completely insane.
It could even be confirmed that the opponent used its consciousness to control these resentful spirits without any problem!
Given their personalities, they were definitely capable of such actions!
However…
Regardless of the situation, Li Yidao knew.
He must deal with the main soul of this fused entity!
Only in doing so could he ensure absolute safety!
Only then this entity could be finished.
Otherwise, everything, truly, would lose any meaning!
Li Yidao gritted his teeth!
Continuing to endure the intense pain in his brain, Li Yidao kept releasing the Soul Seizure skill.
Meanwhile, the opponent continued to struggle and roar.
Li Yidao’s Soul Seizure would eliminate the lingering souls fused within him one by one, and the destruction of these lingering souls undoubtedly affected the opponent’s abilities.
Consequently, his own strength was gradually diminishing.
Therefore, what he needed to do now was to eliminate the main culprit, Li Yidao, before his strength was completely overwhelmed.
The few talismans he had used earlier had already consumed a significant portion of the lingering souls.
Metaphorically speaking, it was like delivering a heavy blow.
And now, with Li Yidao’s Soul Seizure, it felt like he had cast a curse on the opponent, causing continuous damage to the opponent.

“Roar.”
Seeing the increasing impact of Li Yidao’s Soul Seizure on the fused lingering souls, the fused entity realized it couldn’t continue the stalemate.
Suddenly, his entire body was shrouded in a black mist.
Then, the originally fused colossal body disintegrated into countless lingering souls in an instant.
It… actively disintegrated?
But this wasn’t the end!
Or one could say it was just the beginning!
The disintegrated lingering souls erupted into screams and wild roars.
Under the effect of Li Yidao’s Soul Seizure, these lingering souls were attacked every second, gradually weakening and becoming more ethereal.
Soon, they dissipated into nothingness.
This was evidently the outcome of Li Yidao’s attack! But it wasn’t over!
Some lingering souls directly flew into all angles illuminated by the bronze mirror!
Then, they filled the interior of the bronze mirror with their figures! As for the remaining lingering souls, they gained the ability to move freely!
Seeing this scene, Li Yidao’s heart sank!
A complete soul, clearly visible among all the lingering souls, had a normal form.
Without thinking, Li Yidao knew that this was the primary soul of the entire fused entity, the consciousness in control!
Its form was quite ordinary, as if it was staring at Li Yidao.
Its gaze was filled with great anger!
Seeing this scene, Li Yidao’s heart sank even more!
This soul was definitely not an ordinary lingering soul that could fuse.
Nor was it a state that a newly formed consciousness could possess!
This was… The opponent’s true consciousness!
This was a trace of consciousness dispersed by the opponent!
In this way, the opponent controlled this fused entity through these traces of consciousness!
This was the most terrifying development!
But… At this point, there was no other way!
He controlled the ability of Soul Seizure, trying to control these lingering souls as much as possible with each release!
The depletion of his lifespan began to be calculated at ten years per second!
Ten years of lifespan consumed in a single second!
Moreover! He felt that his consciousness was beginning to faint!
He could only grit his teeth and persist! If he didn’t persist, death might be waiting for them!
The possibility of escaping now seemed slim!
After all… The opponent had already made complete preparations!
Even his consciousness could be spent to attack Li Yidao!
What else was beyond his capabilities?
The opponent must have made desperate preparations!
So! Li Yidao knew that this time was truly a life-determining crossroad!
Soon!
As some lingering souls obstructed the effect of the bronze mirror, the remaining ones, under the control of the central consciousness, once again converged.
However, after this fusion, the volume was reduced by half compared to before.
Li Yidao no longer had the possibility of simultaneously attacking lingering souls in multiple directions.
The consumption of lifespan reverted to the speed of one second per year.
However, Li Yidao knew this wasn’t a good solution.
He tried to adjust his movements, attempting to make the opponent’s figure reappear in the bronze mirror for control.
However, the opponent was prepared!
The remaining non-fused lingering souls almost completely blocked all angles of the bronze mirror!
This rendered all of Li Yidao’s efforts useless!
At this moment, the fused entity accelerated its movement, rapidly approaching Li Yidao, ready to attack.
Originally, Soul Seizure could control soul bodies, naturally restricting the opponent’s movement!
However, now… Li Yidao’s control only applied to a specific lingering soul within the enormous fused entity, and this lingering soul was still moving even if it appeared a bit stiff.
Exhaling deeply, Li Yidao watched as the fused entity approached closer and closer.
It seemed like he had to fight desperately!
He had to rely on the power of his Grim Reaper’s Protection!
Since the opponent had a conscious being in control or a part of the soul separated by the person behind it, this indicated that someone was manipulating everything behind the scenes.
Li Yidao was already considered in a life-threatening situation.
If the effect of the Grim Reaper’s Protection was triggered and the opponent, in turn, suffered backlash and died, would it harm or directly kill the person controlling everything behind the scenes?
If the opponent was fatally harmed by the Grim Reaper’s Protection, then Li Yidao would be safe.
However, this premise relied on the system detecting the opponent’s attack. If it couldn’t detect it, it might be his demise!
Just as Li Yidao was preparing for the worst, suddenly, a burst of icy breath made him pause.
Then, he saw the fused entity, which was previously charging towards him, suddenly freeze in place!
He instinctively turned around and saw Qi Yuqiang, who was enduring the pain, climbing up with a determined expression.
Blood was still flowing from the corners of his mouth, and his face showed extreme agony.
“Kill him for me! Ah!” Qi Yuqiang roared while increasing the power of his skills!
The originally struggling fused entity was once again immobilized in place!
Without hesitation, Li Yidao continued to use Soul Seizure!
He had no other options.
Now, the only thing they could do was engage in a battle of attrition with the opponent.
It remained to be seen whether they could wear down the opponent or if they would be worn down by the opponent!
He knew that Qi Yuqiang’s seal wouldn’t last too long.
Although the current fused entity’s strength had been significantly reduced, Qi Yuqiang was in a similarly weakened state.
It was already the last gasp of him!
However…
It wasn’t over yet!
Just as the fused entity showed signs of breaking free again, a white light fell directly around him.
An invisible barrier formed around the bizarre fused entity!
