"They all have a serious flaw in their cultivation system," Bai Tianyi said, frowning. "Their bodies are weak like paper, they cannot handle the attacks that we throw out, and they will almost instantly die."


"We were lucky this time," Xue Wei suddenly said. "They did not take us seriously and allowed us to get close. If they launched attacks the moment they saw us, then we would have to battle through wave after wave of spiritual energy, and it would take us much longer to get close enough to deal the killing blows."


"If we ever get close," Bai Tianyi said with a nod of his head. "Especially Hei Gou and Lin Xiao have to be wary when they fight against spiritual energy attacks, considering that their soul is rather weak. They will easily fall prey to their opponents."


"Spiritual energy attacks are split into various kinds similar to Qi attacks. Some of them aim for the soul of their opponent, while others materialize the spiritual energy and use it to strike the physical body."


"We are lucky that we are in Yan Dalu where the physical body is their weakness," Bai Tianyi explained to everyone while Hei Gou rummaged through their remains, looking for valuables. "The experts here focus on materialized attacks to attack their opponent's bodies, as that is their weak point. Specializing in soul attacks is not that useful since most warriors of Yan Dalu has a strong soul, so we have to use this to our advantage."


Hei Gou nodded his head. Although he was looking for treasure, his full focus was on Bai Tianyi's words.


"For now, we have to abuse the fact that we have superior physical strength," Lin Xiao said. "Our fame might eventually resound throughout the entire Yan Dalu, but no matter what we better expect that people will start preparing against us. Since this is the case, we need to kill as many as we can before they become wiser."


"I know a skill that you and Gou should practice," Bai Tianyi said after hesitating for a bit. "It is specially made for people with weak souls. It is a defensive method that will shroud your soul with Qi. This way, as long as they do not have a spiritual energy base higher than your Qi bases, then you should be safe."


"Unfortunately, it is not easy to train it and it will take time! But if we consider the fact that you might die if we do not do it, I think that it is without a doubt our best decision."


"Why did you not teach us this skill before?" Hei Gou asked, slightly nonplussed, but Bai Tianyi just sent him a glance. "I use spiritual energy," he explained, "but here I am, basically making the two of you untouchable by a spiritual energy user. If you were to betray me, would that not be the same as picking up a stone only to drop it on my own foot?"


"Did you expect us to betray you?" Hei Gou asked with wide open eyes full of surprise and slight indignation.


"Well, you never know," Bai Tianyi just shrugged his shoulders. It was clear that he felt no remorse having said the words he spoke. In fact, he was as casual as usual.


"Okay, Tianyi told us about it now, so that's enough," Xue Wei finally said. He knew that if he did not stop them, then it would end up with Hei Gou and Bai Tianyi being at each other's throats, barking at one another and wasting time.


Bai Tianyi took a step back. He was after all Xue Wei's contracted sword. Although he seemed human, he had given up his humanity for eternal life.


It was times like these that people could sense the fact that he had lost his humanity. He would say hurtful things without noticing it, and he would do anything in his power to benefit himself and Xue Wei. And the only reason he would benefit Xue Wei was because of their soul contract.


Hei Gou stopped arguing as well. However, his eyes displayed some displeasure with what Bai Tianyi had said. Lin Xiao, on the other hand, was completely stunned.


Bai Tianyi had treated them like friends on the way, constantly bantered and having fun with them, yet now he said he never knew when they might betray him. This showed that he had doubts about them!


Xue Wei understood that Bai Tianyi's words were not as serious as they sounded. Although it made him sound as if he were constantly waiting for them to betray him, it was just as much a question about self-preservation. He was not willing to use his abilities unless necessary.


Having stopped the argument, Bai Tianyi could feel that the atmosphere had cooled. He was not dumb, so he was completely aware that it was because of the words he had said, but he did not regret saying them.


In this world, everyone would do their best only if they had some sort of benefit from it. Xue Wei and Bai Tianyi were without a doubt linked together because of their soul contract, so everything that benefitted one would benefit the other.


Hei Gou was, on the other hand, someone with whom they only shared friends.h.i.+p. There was no oath that he was aware of to keep them together or keep him from betraying Xue Wei.


Not to mention, Bai Tianyi had been strong at the beginning. He had been the one to look after them, but now he was the weakest in the group, tied with Xue Wei. Although his combat ability was outstanding, it was not enough to make him the anchor of the group again.


But what Bai Tianyi had that the others lacked sorely was knowledge and experience. Although his personality had changed slightly and he had become more inhuman, he had retained all his knowledge and understanding and was able to be completely objective, never being swayed by emotions at all.


Xue Wei saw how Bai Tianyi found two empty jade slips and imprinted the information about the defensive ability that he was talking about and handed it to Hei Gou and Lin Xiao.


Both of them took them with mixed emotions. Neither were happy about what Bai Tianyi had said, but after considering his situation for a bit, Hei Gou was able to see past it – Lin Xiao, on the other hand, did not know the situation too well. No one had told him about Bai Tianyi being an immortal sword spirit, so he was slightly taken aback, but he found it reasonable and thus was not too insulted.


He quickly placed the jade slip on his forehead. A slight light broke out and the information within the slips entered their minds. Xue Wei looked on curiously. Although he would be willing to take the skill himself, he knew that he was not suitable for it.


He practiced his spiritual energy, and since Bai Tianyi said that it focused on those with weaker souls, it would not exactly be useful to him. As for why, he was sure there was a reason and that it would be explained soon enough.


Bai Tianyi saw Xue Wei's curiosity and smiled. There was indeed a reason that he had not practiced said skill, and why he did not let Xue Wei practice it either.


"When you practice this skill, your soul is protected by Qi, but at the same time it is impossible to release spiritual energy from the soul. It is fine for someone like Gou and Xiao, because neither of them have ever trained their spiritual energy, but for someone like you, it would be like cutting off your own feet. Simply a waste."


Xue Wei quickly gave up any thought he had about the ability. He was not willing to give up on his spiritual energy, and although it was somewhat lacking at the current point in time, it was not to the point where it could be disregarded.


Furthermore, it was quite a feat that Xue Wei had achieved his current progress in both Qi and spiritual energy and come as far as he had


"Train while moving," Bai Tianyi said to the other two, his words sounding harsh, but he had the best understanding of the ability and he knew that it was possible to train and walk at the same time. It was obviously harder than when one was sitting cross-legged and simply focused on cultivating, but the truth was that they were in a hurry to fish for bandits that could be slain for merits.


Lin Xiao and Hei Gou were not focusing on the surroundings at all as they moved. Their heads were lowered, their hands on their chins and their mouths muttering words constantly.


These two were deep in the training of the Soul Guard skill that Bai Tianyi had given them. Although they were both feeling rather excited. They knew of their own weakness. Their soul really was a weak point for them.


Xue Wei and Bai Tianyi surveyed everything around them. Usually, they would use their spiritual energy to scan the surrounding area to ensure that no one was hiding, but this flat gra.s.sland made it so that they could see even further than what they could reach with their spiritual energy.


It was strange, but it seemed that being in Yan Dalu, his spiritual energy could not reach as far a distance as it had back in Chang’an. In fact, his previous hundred kilometer radius had shrunk to only one kilometer!


"There!" Xue Wei suddenly called out, startling Hei Gou and Lin Xiao awake from their cultivation. Bai Tianyi also focused his eyes in the direction that the former was pointing.


There, long out in the distance, was a group of three people walking together. They seemed very arrogant. They did not even keep an eye on their surroundings and simply walked their path.


Xue Wei could not see whether or not they had a black wristband on their arms, but he could not let it go. He needed to get closer to observe.


"Well then, let us get moving," Lin Xiao said with a grin on his face. He was already excited about another fight. In fact, he was sure that he had no weaknesses now that his soul was under the protection of Soul Guard.


He just forgot that he had gotten Soul Guard less than a day ago. His performance with the ability could not be considered anything more than just above average, and as a result although a layer of Qi was shrouding his soul, it would not be enough to protect him for a long period of time.


Hei Gou was less brazen. He was more withdrawn and understood the fact that they had just learned the skill and that he still had a great weakness in the shape of his soul.


Still, he understood the importance of getting their hands on merits, so he did not say anything about them not going. Instead, he brought up the rear of their group. Now that they had started moving and stopped cultivating, his eyes were narrowed as he continued to observe the surroundings, scouring for traces of other people waiting in ambush or appearing in their line of sight.


Xue Wei said nothing. He just started moving towards the people far away. All of them were using their movement techniques. Xue Wei had activated Forbidden Rush, and Lin Xiao was using a movement technique that Xue Wei had never seen before, which made it seem as if it touched upon the dao of s.p.a.ce, where one step seemed to cover ten meters.


Bai Tianyi had summoned his spiritual energy sword and was flying on it, and Hei Gou had summoned a pair of wings on his back, effortlessly following the other three.


After the second mutation, he could transform parts of his body as he pleased and the wings came in handy when moving fast. His ability to fly and his wings were so fast that they could easily keep up with the movement technique executed by Xue Wei and Lin Xiao, and Bai Tianyi’s spiritual energy sword.


Slowly, they inched closer and closer to the group of three. The closer they came, the more acutely they could feel a sense of danger. These three were definitely not simple.
