Chapter 750: Spirit Summoner

The man with the golden and silver rings instantly widened his eyes. "You people from Southern Border are truly untrustworthy! Those not of our kind are sure to have different intentions!"

The gloomy man beside him, dressed in black and white, smiled grimly. "Only now do you realize?" His voice was as harsh and unpleasant as a crow's, as if sharp stones were grating in his throat.

The man with the golden and silver rings said sharply, "You pledged loyalty to your master, you took an oath! For this, you will surely face divine retribution!"

The enchanting woman named Jiasili giggled. "We didn't do anything! We didn't kill you; you were clearly outmatched and killed by your enemies. What does that have to do with us?"

"You're using someone else to kill! Our master will never let you off!" The man with the golden and silver rings gritted his teeth, his voice filled with resentment.

"Your master can barely protect himself now; how can he have the energy to deal with us?" Jiasili said with a cheerful smile. "As for the oath, we're even once we've completed this task for him. In fact, I helped you get revenge, so you should be thanking us!"

The man with the golden and silver rings opened his mouth, as if to curse, but his injuries were too severe. Speaking so much had already exhausted his strength, and now, overcome with rage, he couldn't hold on any longer. He spat out a mouthful of blood and literally died of anger.

Zu An secretly clicked his tongue in amazement. This woman truly grasped the essence of an internet troll; though every word seemed harmless, each one pierced deep, literally talking a person to death.

He thought for a moment and said, "Since you two have a grudge against their master, why don't we shake hands and call it quits, and everyone goes their separate ways?"

Jiasili giggled charmingly, her entire body seeming to sway. "Oh, little brother, I really wanted to agree to your proposal, but unfortunately, we made an oath earlier. We must complete our mission this time, so I can only apologize."

The moment she finished speaking, Zu An suddenly felt a prickling sensation in his mind again. Yun Yuqing, who was beside him, covered her forehead, revealing a pained expression.

Zu An secretly snorted. He had been too relaxed before, which led to him being ambushed. But with the recent lesson learned, knowing that the opponent had a powerful psychic ability user, he was constantly prepared.

He immediately summoned Baiming. Its clear cry instantly emitted invisible sound waves that counterattacked.

The moment Baiming appeared, he immediately felt the prickling sensation in his head disappear. Yun Yuqing, who was beside him, also returned to normal.

Zu An was somewhat curious. Yun Yuqing was also a powerful psychic; how formidable was the Demonic Eye of Heaven? Why did she perform so poorly this time?

However, he quickly realized that was a demonic ability, and they were at the foot of the capital city. She most likely didn't want to expose her demonic identity, otherwise, it would be dangerous.

"Ah?" she gasped. Jiasili clearly didn't expect him to have such a sharp counterattack; she clutched her head and cried out in pain.

How could Zu An let go of such a good opportunity? His figure flashed, and he appeared in front of her. The Tai'e Sword was already in his hand, and he thrust it towards her throat.

His instantaneous movement, activated by Great Wind, combined with the 'Bixie Swordplay' that he had mastered to perfection in Brightmoon City, made this sword strike incredibly fast, precise, and accurate, giving the opponent no time to react at all.

Although he couldn't see Jiasili's eyes, the constant smile on her lips had vanished. One could imagine how terrified she was at that moment.

Her entire body instinctively leaned back, trying to dodge. Unfortunately, there was no way she could dodge it.

But just then, a soul-summoning banner extended from the side, parrying his sword and simultaneously pulling Jiasili back several zhang.

"Eighth-grade peak," Zu An didn't pursue. The recoil force from their brief clash just now made him realize that this gloomy man in black and white, who resembled a Wuchang (death deity), was by no means an easy opponent. Jiasili was his companion, and judging by their aura, they were at least on the same level. Moreover, their strange attire suggested they followed an unconventional and eerie path. It was better to first figure out their background.

"Thank you, Big Brother Shu!" Jiasili, having narrowly escaped death, patted her chest with lingering fear and thanked her companion.

So that gloomy man was named Shushuhao. How could he have such a strange name?

Zu An inwardly complained endlessly. But then he remembered they were all from the foreign tribes of Southern Border, and he felt somewhat relieved.

Shushuhao snorted. "Stop trying to be alluring. You almost got ambushed by a wet-behind-the-ears kid. Aren't you ashamed?"

"Oh, come on, Big Brother Shu, don't be angry. This just makes it more fun," Jiasili said with a charming laugh, looking at Zu An. "Little brother, I didn't expect you to have psychic abilities. That wasn't mentioned in the intelligence report."

"Psychic abilities are legendary rare talents. How could I be so lucky? It's you, dear sister, who is the expert in this field." Zu An was indeed curious. It was said that psychic practitioners were one in ten thousand; he had never encountered one before. He didn't expect to meet one today, but unfortunately, she was here to kill him.

"Dear sister?" Jiasili was momentarily taken aback, then she laughed, her body shaking like a trembling flower. "Your sweet talk is certainly good at pleasing me."

Yun Yuqing suddenly let out a soft snort. "A'Zu, don't be fooled by this woman. She's not a psychic practitioner. She's a Spirit Evoker from Southern Border, skilled in Spirit Evocation techniques. Her various methods are hard to guard against. You must be careful."

"Spirit Evoker?" It was the first time Zu An had heard this term.

Jiasili let out an "Oh?" and looked at Yun Yuqing with curiosity. "This young lady knows a lot. Not many people know about us Spirit Evokers nowadays."

Yun Yuqing simply turned her face away, clearly disliking Jiasili's enchanting demeanor and disdaining to speak with her.

"Oh, my, what a pure and unblemished demeanor. When I capture you later, I'll let Big Brother Shu 'educate' you properly. Let's see if you still have any arrogance then." Jiasili said with a cheerful smile. Her voice was soft and charming, but her words were extremely malicious.

Shushuhao, standing nearby, said coldly, "No interest. I'm only interested in cold corpses. Those are the most perfect works of art in the world."

Zu An: "..."Yun Yuqing: "..."

So this guy is a necrophiliac.

Yun Yuqing reminded him via energy transmission, "A'Zu, you must be careful. He should be a master from the Gu tribe of Southern Border. The Gu tribe's methods are often unpredictable and hard to guard against."

"Gu tribe?" Zu An was stunned. "Are they also considered part of the demon tribe?"

Yun Yuqing replied, "They are somewhere between humans and demons. They are skilled in all sorts of strange and peculiar Gu techniques. The power they unleash is no less than that of cultivators. This man seems to use Corpse Gu, specializing in controlling various corpses for his own use. If you fall into their hands, you won't even rest in peace after death."

Zu An understood. So it was similar to a necromancer-type profession. No wonder he was dressed like a black and white ghost.

At this moment, Jiasili's laughter came. "That's easy. Just turn her into a corpse."

Hearing his words, Shushuhao, whose dead-fish eyes usually seemed indifferent to everything, suddenly sparkled with light. He stared intently at Yun Yuqing. "Hmm, although this woman's face is covered, just looking at her figure and curves, if she's made into a puppet corpse, she'll definitely be the most perfect work of art. Ahhh, just thinking about it makes me uncontrollably excited! Once I refine her into a puppet corpse, I must sleep with her every day."

Zu An: "..."

Holy crap, he originally thought that the previous batch of assassins who didn't mind mummified corpses were already perverted enough, but he didn't expect this guy to be even more twisted. He wasn't interested in such a vibrant and beautiful woman, but only felt something after turning her into a zombie?

"You're asking for death!" Yun Yuqing was, after all, a noble princess. Who dared to be anything but respectful to her on a normal day? Even among the demon tribe, her status was extremely noble. How could she tolerate such foul language? She let out a sharp cry and brandished her short sword, thrusting it towards her opponent.

Zu An was speechless for a moment. "My Lady, you're a Rune Master! Shouldn't you be fighting from a distance?"

Truly, a mage who can't fight in close combat isn't a good mage.

He was worried about Yun Yuqing getting into trouble. Just as he was about to go and help, he was blocked by Jiasili. "Little brother, let me play with you properly."
