After Void Spirit extracted the green liquid from my hand, it did not perform any further actions. Instead, it gripped Jiang Ling tightly with its right hand and swiftly slashed upward, creating a Slash Mark.
Although this strike appeared to be casual, Void Spirit had absorbed a considerable amount of spirit energy at that moment, significantly enhancing its power. I could clearly feel that this seemingly effortless blow was several times stronger than my full-force attack.
I thought to myself, "Perhaps this strike could directly kill the grotesque creature before me..."
However, Void Spirit had different intentions. After executing the slash that controlled my body, it lowered its stance and quickly followed the dark Slash Mark.
The grotesque figure with a face full of pus seemed to show signs of fear upon seeing this. It took a few steps back and casually threw several dark green spheres at me. This time, Void Spirit did not cut them down but instead nimbly dodged them, reversing its grip on Jiang Ling and placing it behind itself.
In that instant, I found myself closing in on the creature. Realizing it had nowhere to escape, it hurriedly extended its hand, which was oozing yellowish liquid, in an attempt to block the Slash Mark emitted by Void Spirit.
But this strike was not something it could withstand. As the Slash Mark made contact with its palm, a flash of Black Light appeared, slicing it cleanly in half. Yet Void Spirit, concerned that this would not completely eliminate the creature, swung its right hand, which had been charged with immense power...
In an instant, my right hand gripped Jiang Ling, whipping through the air with a gust of wind and accompanied by intense Killing Intent, cleaving the abomination in two.
At that moment, I had already passed by the creature when I felt an enormous surge of energy erupt behind me. A wave of black light instantly spread from behind me, engulfing the circular space that had been illuminated by flames in darkness.
"Is it dead?" I wondered silently to Void Spirit. But as soon as I voiced my thoughts, I sensed that the tension radiating from Void Spirit had not dissipated. It controlled my body to quickly turn around and tightly gripped Jiang Ling, saying to me, "I don't think it's that easy to kill..."
Just then, a voice echoed from the darkness; it was Li Zhisheng, calling out to me in confusion: "Shen Xu! What have you done?!" His voice reverberated through the empty space, creating waves of echoes.
Hearing this, I wanted to respond to him, but at that moment, Void Spirit was controlling my body, and even if I wished to speak, I found myself unable to open my mouth.
Li Zhisheng looked at me, but I remained unresponsive, and the Black Light enveloping this circular space showed no signs of dissipating. His anxiety grew: "Shen Xu! Are you okay? Say something!"
At that moment, I faintly heard Yao Long's voice coming from the direction of Li Zhisheng. His voice was low, but the silence around us made it clear enough to hear. He said, "From the power at play here, it seems that Shen Xu is not in control of his own body right now. If I'm not mistaken, he must have exchanged control with the Void Spirit. But if he uses 'Hatred,' we will all be doomed..."
Hearing this, I sensed a hint of worry in Yao Long's tone, but his reasoning made sense. After all, if I truly used "Hatred," not only would everyone present perish, but it could also bring catastrophic disaster to the town. Just as I was pondering this, the Void Spirit spoke up, addressing Li Zhisheng and the others: "You're right; I've taken over Shen Xu's body to fight. However, Shen Xu's body can't hold out much longer. You need to deal with that monster quickly to help him!"
I was taken aback that the Void Spirit was actually asking Li Zhisheng and the others to assist me. What surprised me even more was its claim that my body couldn't last much longer—why did I not feel anything?
As I puzzled over this, the Void Spirit said to me, "Have you forgotten about the mark on your hand? How much longer do you think you can hold on?"
When it mentioned the mark, a chill ran down my spine. The mark had already been close to its critical point before I used the Void Spirit; now it seemed like it was about to start peeling away my soul.
"Since you know this, why don't you come back?! Do you really want to watch me die?!" I mentally shouted at the Void Spirit.
The Void Spirit replied sternly, "With your abilities, you've already been drained of power while fighting those spirits. Not to mention that corrosive liquid that erodes the human body. If it were you in my place, you'd have turned into a pool of pus and blood by now—such an ungrateful fool..."
Upon hearing this, I lost my temper instantly and struggled to suppress my anxious emotions: "So what do we do now?! If I let the mark continue to erode me like this, won't I die anyway?!"
The Void Spirit glanced around cautiously after hearing my words. The area remained shrouded in darkness; the black light from earlier had yet to fade. Seeing nothing unusual, it said, "Actually, if your soul were to be stripped away, it would be quite beneficial for me since I'd be able to occupy your body. However, when your soul is stripped away, I can't immediately take over; I'll need some time to adapt. But during that time, I could easily be killed by that disgusting Demonic Mark. Moreover, I don't believe your two friends have the ability to stop it..."
Just as the Void Spirit was speaking, an eerie and hoarse laugh suddenly echoed from the darkness before me. The voice chuckled and asked me, "Oh? Is that so? Then can you tell me how much longer you can hold on?!"
As soon as those words fell, the black light surrounding us abruptly vanished, and brightness returned in an instant. Before me stood the grotesque creature covered in boils, seemingly unharmed and restored after that brief moment—it appeared as though it had overheard my conversation with the Void Spirit.
At that moment, Void Spirit did not pay attention to the strange creature in front of him. Instead, he spoke seriously in his heart, "Shen Xu, listen carefully. If I use my full power, your body can only hold out for five more minutes at most. After five minutes, your soul will begin to gradually separate from your body. By then, not only will you be unable to control your body, but I will also find it difficult to continue attacking. If it comes to that, we can only wait for death. Do you understand?!"
Seeing Void Spirit so tense and serious made me realize just how dangerous the situation was. I suppressed my anger and asked solemnly, "What should I do?"
Void Spirit replied, "In the next four minutes, you must focus all your attention on cooperating with me so that I can concentrate my power completely. If we want to survive, we must kill him within four minutes and then use the remaining minute to restore you. Otherwise, even if I take four minutes and fifty-nine seconds to kill him, you will still die!"
After hearing this, I agreed and did not say anything more. Instead, I pushed my mental concentration to its limits. At that moment, I felt as if my soul was resonating with Void Spirit's, and an unprecedented powerful force surged through my body like an electric current...
