Chapter 675: Chapter 675: Soul Blessing!

Inoue Kazuo’s voice had changed completely, which meant the one inside his body was no longer him.

Tang Zhong glanced over and, not surprisingly, guessed that it must be a demon or spirit inside Inoue Kazuo.

"You’re quite impressive!" At that moment, Inoue Kazuo stared at Tang Zhong, smiling coldly.

He looked extremely eerie.

"Thanks for the compliment!" Tang Zhong laughed.

Inoue Kazuo was slightly startled by his response, "Aren’t you afraid of me?"

"Why should I be afraid of you?" Tang Zhong laughed.

"Do you know who I am?" the demon-possessed Inoue Kazuo continued.

"Aren’t you a demon or spirit?" said Tang Zhong.

The demon Inoue Kazuo was taken aback, then burst into laughter, "No wonder Inoue Kazuo couldn’t defeat you. You know much more than he does!"

In an instant, his gaze turned icy, "Since you know who I am, then you know what you should do next!"

"Of course, I do!" Tang Zhong said.

"Good, you’re a sensible guy. I quite like your body. Give it to me—with such strong Blood Power under my control, what would Xuan Country amount to? I would be the most powerful man!" the demon Inoue Kazuo laughed loudly.

"I think you’re mistaken, what I meant was that you’d die!" Tang Zhong said coldly.

This demon had killed his grandfather; he would never let this creature off the hook.

"What did you say?" The demon Inoue Kazuo’s face turned particularly unsightly.

"I said, I’m going to kill you!" Tang Zhong enunciated every word.

"It seems you’re really asking for death!" the demon Inoue Kazuo said.

A roar echoed out, still in Inoue Kazuo’s voice, deafening as it spread from the top of the Winter Capital’s Sky Tree to the surrounding area.

Everyone within several miles heard it, and joy began to spread among them.

"This... this is Master Inoue’s voice, he is alive!"

"He hasn’t lost, this is wonderful!" More and more people began expressing their indescribable excitement.

"I told you, Master Inoue would definitely be alright!"

Just a moment ago, everyone had thought Inoue Kazuo was outright killed.

Hearing the voice, Tang Zhong frowned—this voice and this demon clearly had a powerful soul, or it wouldn’t have been able to produce such a loud sound.

Then, the demon Inoue Kazuo glared at Tang Zhong, his face twisted in ferocity, "Give me your body. This one is too weak to contain my enormous soul!"

His body surged with a black aura, and his pupils had turned black as well.

This was a sign that the soul could not be contained.

"Then come and take it!" Tang Zhong said with a cold laugh.

"Fine!" At that moment, the demon Inoue Kazuo began to move.

The Demon Sword in his hand shone brightly again. The Demon Sword, already demonic in nature, became even more imbued with Demon Qi when held by the demon.

Immediately he slashed down furiously.

"In life, I was General Kobe Ryuuichi, my strength was at the Martial Arts Peak. What do you have to fight me with?" he declared.

Then, the Demon Sword came slashing down.

Tang Zhong frowned deeply. It was inconceivable that a soul could stay alive for so long. Seeing the sword slashing towards him, he quickly went to meet it.

Clang!

The swords collided, sparking a severe burst of fire.

Both were sent flying back.

"This power... is so exquisite, I’ve never seen such a fine body!" Ghost God Inoue Kazuo burst into laughter, "It will definitely be mine in the future!"

Then he slashed over again.

Tang Zhong met the attack head-on.

At this moment, because of the previous disturbance, the people from Bei Country who had retreated quite a distance couldn’t help but stop in their tracks and start looking back at everything happening on the Sky Tree. Their excitement grew, especially seeing Inoue Kazuo’s actions.

Ghost God Inoue Kazuo’s blade collided with Tang Zhong’s, and the two men faced each other.

Ghost God Inoue Kazuo said coldly, "Now it’s time for you to die!"

In that instant, right above Inoue Kazuo’s head, a ghost head appeared directly.

Tang Zhong was startled and quickly tried to retreat.

"Think you can leave? No way!" roared Ghost God Inoue Kazuo.

A ghost head appeared more and more clearly behind him, and eventually it became distinct. That was clearly a soldier dressed in Bei Country’s military uniform.

This must be his soul now.

A vast pressure enveloped Tang Zhong.

Such is the soul, whoever’s soul is stronger can suppress another person’s.

Tang Zhong’s soul immediately felt the pressure. He had only learned a little bit about Soul Transformation; his soul had gotten slightly stronger. Now facing the overwhelming power of Ghost God Inoue Kazuo, no matter what action he took, his movements were much slower. He struggled vehemently.

"Unexpectedly, your soul is also so strong!" said Ghost God Inoue Kazuo, "Did you also go to Lan Mountain?"

When Tang Zhong heard this, he paused. He had never been to any Lan Mountain, but since the ghost god mentioned it, there must be a reason. Suddenly, Tang Zhong remembered the stones from before: the first time-space transfer stone obtained from Brick City, and the second stone from the muddy Zuo Xuan River. It dawned on him that he had speculated if there were strange stones, they were likely on Lan Mountain. Could there be a connection?

Being crushed by the soul, Tang Zhong pretended to be suppressed and said, "You... you’ve been to Lan Mountain!"

Seeing Tang Zhong’s reaction, Ghost God Inoue Kazuo said, "It seems you have been to Lan Mountain. Haha, if I’m not mistaken, you went into that cave. Otherwise, your soul couldn’t possibly be so strong!"

Hearing this, Tang Zhong felt more and more that there was an issue and immediately asked, "Did you enter that cave?"

"Of course, when I went to conquer Xuan Country, I went to Lan Mountain. Who knew I would enter that strange cave and end up like this. My body died, but my soul is still alive. After returning to Bei Country, I took residence in the Shrine. I am in desperate need of a host, and finally found Inoue Kazuo, but he’s too weak. I could only have him help, make him famous. At that time, no one could kill your grandfather. It was after I entered Inoue Kazuo’s body that I killed your grandfather!" Ghost God Inoue Kazuo said, "Hmph, you are going to die soon anyway. Now that I tell you everything, you can die with a clear understanding."

"Did you touch any stone?" Tang Zhong probed, wanting to confirm his speculation. Hearing the ghost god talk about killing his grandfather, Tang Zhong clenched his fists.

"It seems you really have been to Lan Mountain!" Ghost God Inoue Kazuo said, "But, you’re going to die soon. I will definitely not spare your life!"

The words of the ghost god confirmed Tang Zhong’s guess, but at this time, the most critical thing was to preserve his own life.

The oppressive force from the ghost god was nearly shaking him so much he couldn’t speak.

And at that moment, Ghost God Inoue Kazuo slowly approached Tang Zhong, his face wearing a chilling smile, "Come on, give me your body!"

After speaking, he reached out his hand, ready to grab Tang Zhong.

Tang Zhong was frantic but absolutely couldn’t be suppressed by the soul power; otherwise, it would all be over. His Soul Power was certainly not as strong as the ghost god’s now.

"Can’t die, absolutely can’t die!" Tang Zhong muttered.

And just then, all of a sudden, Tang Zhong felt something was wrong. A formidable Soul Power surged from within his body.

"This..." Tang Zhong began to laugh.

Because he felt a surge of Soul Power from within his body, and this power was coming from the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers!

The ten Flame Dragon Soldiers were a weapon that had long since become sentient. It also had a soul. Tang Zhong didn’t know how long it had been alive, but at least, it was stronger than the ghost god before him.

Then came a cursing voice, "Kid, you’re really annoying. You’re so weak, how will you take on the great responsibility ahead? I’m afraid you’ll die, so I’m saving you now. Take care of yourself, and don’t think that I’ll choose you as my master. More importantly, a mere nobody dares to be so presumptuous in front of me. It’s truly a death wish!"

Hearing this, Tang Zhong was extremely grateful and immediately said, "Thank you!"

With the spirit of the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers bolstering him, Tang Zhong felt as if aided by divine power. He looked at the ghost god before him and smiled coldly, "Is that so? What if I don’t die?"

(That’s all for today; of course, the Bei Country Chapter won’t just end like this.)
