Chapter 186: Soul Control
After Zhao Yuanbai’s body was burned to death by the fire.
An invisible consciousness is swaying in the wind, wandering randomly in the world.
Although this consciousness is wavering, it is extremely tenacious, turning a blind eye and hearing nothing.
This is the ‘evil soul’ of Zhao Yuanbai after his transformation.
Now he is a more terrifying existence than evil things. If his consciousness is not destroyed and his obsession is not dispersed, he can constantly change his body and be reincarnated.
And the most valuable thing is that Zhao Yuanbai did not just kill the evil ghost who pretended to be his father.
But he really has the belief to cleanse the world with killing and fulfill his father's last wish.
Otherwise, if it were anyone else, their belief would be greatly weakened after revenge. This so-called "immortality" is empty talk.
It won’t take long before it completely dissipates and turns into nothingness.
With a thought in Xu Ke's mind, Zhao Yuanbai's evil spirit surged out and galloped towards Qinglan County, which is the closest to Tianhu County.
After the Yin Qi that held the evil soul was exhausted, Zhao Yuanbai's soul unconsciously attached itself to the surrounding corpses.
After a while, Zhao Yuanbai struggled to get up and looked at his body.
The man in his early twenties has a plain appearance and a weak body.
He is skinny and skinny.
But at least it's a hundred times better than my previous paralyzed body.
In this case, it will be much more convenient to complete the practice of Seven Kills than the previous body.
After carefully looking at the surrounding situation, I found that I was lying in a remote alley. It was probably abandoned here after death for some reason.
He walked feebly towards the crowded area.
No one in the county seemed to know Zhao Yuanbai, and they had no interest in paying any attention to a stranger passing by.
After walking for a while, Zhao Yuanbai's body recovered a lot, and he finally had the strength to walk normally.
But my mouth felt a little thirsty, as if I hadn't drank water for several days.
He had to go to a nearby courtyard and saw an old woman washing clothes in the yard. Zhao Yuanbai said directly:
"Old lady, I am a passerby. I wonder if I can ask for a ladle of water?”
“A ladle of water is nothing.”
The old woman stood up, her withered body swaying, and scooped out a ladle of water from the wooden bucket on the side.
He sprinkled some rice chaff inside and then handed it to Zhao Yuanbai.
Ordinary people would naturally think that the old woman was trying to make things difficult for him, but Zhao Yuanbai naturally understood that the other party was worried that he was in a hurry and drinking cold water would stimulate his heart and lungs.
After thanking him, Zhao Yuanbai slowly drank all the water in the gourd.
But he was not busy walking. Instead, he found a stone to sit down and chatted with the old woman.
"Excuse me, old lady, who is the worst and most evil person in your neighborhood?"
Hearing this, the old woman's originally smiling expression suddenly froze, and she took the water ladle tremblingly:
“You are kidding me.”
“There are no evil people, the neighbors in our street are all honest and good people.”
Neither Zhao Yuanbai I asked anxiously, but just smiled and said:
"I am a detective sent by the county boss. The county boss received a complaint saying that there are bullies in your street who bully men and women, running rampant in the countryside and preying on the people."
"That's why I was sent to investigate. Bring him to justice.”
The old woman looked Zhao Yuanbai up and down, not to mention that her clothes were in tatters and covered with dirt and dust.
He looks like a county policeman.
Besides, the big boss in the county can’t collect all the gold and silver treasure every day. He eats the plaintiff and eats the defendant, so he has no time to care about the so-called bully in their village.
Just as she was about to say a few words of evasion subconsciously, Zhao Yuanbai immediately understood her intention.
“Okay, since the old lady won’t tell me, I’ll go find it myself.”
Originally, Zhao Yuanbai was planning to scare the other party to see if he could get something out of him. .
But thinking about the other party's age, and the fact that she was kind-hearted just now and gave him a drink of water.
It would be too inappropriate to really scare her out of harm's way.
Therefore, Zhao Yuanbai had no choice but to stand up, turn around and leave.
After drinking a gourd of water, his body regained most of its vitality, at least it didn't collapse with the wind like just now.
“Little brother, I don’t know where you are from.”
“But you don’t look like a bad person. If you really want to find someone, you might as well go there Just walk two blocks east and take a look at the arbors.”
“Thank you.”
Zhao Yuanbai once again dragged his heavy body for two streets.
Sure enough, I found a fat and strong man there lying on a bench at the arbor at the intersection of the street and sleeping with his eyes closed.
Whenever a common person passes by the wooden bridge over the street canal, he must put two copper plates in the earthen jar next to him.
Through the practice of Qishalu, Zhao Yuanbai could see the faint gray mist emanating from his head.
This means that although this person has not committed such a heinous crime as murder, he must have committed many first-class evil deeds.
At least it's the level of evil deeds like humiliating women and cannibalizing people that can lead to substantial karma.
Zhao Yuanbai looked around and confirmed that the strong man did not have any helpers or minions. So I selected it on the roadside and finally selected a pebble the size of a human head.
Holding the pebbles in his arms, Zhao Yuanbai pretended to be nonchalant and prepared to cross the bridge.
The strong man was not suspicious, he still lay on the bench and shook his cattail leaf fan gently.
When he heard someone passing by, the strong man didn't open his eyes and just said lazily:
"Remember to put the money..."
The next moment, Zhao Yuanbai suddenly raised the pebble in his hand toward He hit the strong man on the head.
In just a moment, the strong man's head was bruised and bleeding, and he rolled down from the bench. He was dizzy for a long time and couldn't struggle to get up.
Zhao Yuanbai naturally understood that based on the size difference between the two sides, if the other party recovered, it would only take one hand to crush him to death.
Kill you while you are sick.
Zhao Yuanbai picked up the blood-stained pebbles again, and while the other party was about to stand up, he threw another stone down.
Amidst the screams of the people passing by, Zhao Yuanbai stopped holding back. He struck the unknown bully once or twice until he stopped breathing, and there was no movement at all.
The first time he killed someone, Zhao Yuanbai unexpectedly did not feel any discomfort or nausea.
Looking at the corpse gradually stopping moving, as if it were a familiar road.
Before the onlookers could react, Zhao Yuanbai dropped the stone in his hand and ran away.
And those people were all honest and cautious people, so naturally they did not dare to risk their lives with Zhao Yuanbai, who looked murderous.
Besides, this bully does do evil things in daily life, and has done many things to oppress the villagers.
It’s just that no one dared to challenge him, so he tolerated it until now.
Finally, someone took revenge for them, so naturally they would not really work hard to chase Zhao Yuanbai.
It wasn't until he escaped into the jungle, gasping for breath, that Zhao Yuanbai had time to feel the increase in power within his body.
At this time, Xu Ke also checked the status feedback about Zhao Yuanbai.
[Erase gray-level karma and obtain the gray-level remnant soul 'Snatch and Robbery']
[Effects of the Envoy: Physique +10, Strength +10]
[ The progress of remnant soul cleansing is 0%. After the karma is cleansed, you can permanently gain 1 point of constitution and 1 point of strength. 】
Xu Ke had already understood the ability of Qi Sha Lu before.
The karmic remnant souls killed by Zhao Yuanbai can be used by his Seven Kills Illustrations to use the power of their remnant souls for their own use.
But currently he has only completed the first page of the Seven Kills, so he can only control one remnant soul at the same time.
When you obtain other remnant souls with stronger effects, you must discard the effect of the previous remnant soul.
But if the karma of the remnant soul is completely eliminated, even if you don't use the Seven Kills Illustrated Master, you can permanently gain part of its abilities.
And these abilities are not limited to the current body.
Even if he dies again at the hands of others, he will still be able to inherit these attributes based on the original body when he gets the next body.
So as long as he can collect enough remnant souls with great karma, even if he has no contact with cultivation at all.
You can also possess the strength of a hand-tearing practitioner based on the accumulation of countless lives.
After using the residual soul of karma.
After completing the first page of the Seven Kills Record, a Seven Kills Picture Book reappeared in Zhao Yuanbai's mind.
What is presented on the first page is the depiction of the strong man's evil deeds during his lifetime.
The above content is that he occupied the wooden bridge built jointly by everyone, and then imposed bridge tolls, and also tried to seize the property of widows and husbands, etc...
Many small evil deeds accumulated Only then did he gain a ray of gray karma.
After commanding a remnant soul, Zhao Yuanbai's physical fitness rose to a big level.
All of a sudden, he went from a helpless patient to a strong man who could easily defeat several of his peers.
Zhao Yuanbai just wanted to experiment with his recently acquired power, but before he could move, he felt unbearably hungry.
This body was most likely starved to death, which is why it is so weak and thin.
That's why Zhao Yuanbai felt the bursts of hunger coming from his body.
“Unfortunately, it was my first time to kill someone and I was still not very skilled at it, so I forgot to take away his half jar of copper coins.”
If he had those scattered copper coins, he wouldn't have to worry about being penniless and not even being able to afford food for his stuttering...
According to his previous guess.
Little gangsters from places like this have limited abilities and no authority or connections.
It is difficult to find an evil person who has great karma.
The burly bully from before, no matter how evil he did, could only do so much evil. At most, he would give Zhao Yuanbai a gray-level remnant soul.
Therefore, if you want to see people who really bear great karma, you should try to go to prosperous places. The higher your status, the more evil you do for evil will be more harmful.
Having seen the road to becoming stronger, Zhao Yuanbai was very excited, and the obsession in his heart drove him to work tirelessly for this goal.
At this time, Zhao Yuanbai had escaped from the bustling streets of Qinglan County and headed to the more desolate east of the city, throwing away those who were chasing him.
According to the current public security situation in Qinglan County, those third-class government officials are too lazy to pursue an ordinary murderer.
It was just a matter of killing a little-known gangster, and the people did not bother to investigate, and they were too lazy to do anything about it.
