Chapter 61: Divine Annihilation
Yu Zitong’s primordial spirit was trapped in a narrow corner, flailing about like a fly with broken wings. Every time it tried to fly out from there, it was forced back halfway by a black liquid, and behind it followed a deadly cold light, repeatedly slashing at the glowing orb, constantly weakening the green radiance.
Despair filled his heart. Although the relentless pursuit and slashes of the sharp sword had weakened his primordial spirit considerably, he didn’t care much about that. What left him helpless was the continuous corrosion by that black-colored liquid.
Ever since his spirit was sprayed with the liquid, he felt a tingling, numb weakness, and his remaining magical power was gradually eroded. Even more fatal was how it obstructed Yu Zitong’s spellcasting, causing repeated failures in his magic, as if he was imprisoned.
“Why do you want to kill me? Why?…”
Faced with Han Li’s cold and merciless assault, Yu Zitong’s hoarse cries occasionally came from the glowing orb, filled with profound unwillingness. However, Han Li said nothing, responding only with the rapidly swinging blade in his hand.
Not long after, Yu Zitong’s voice gradually lowered, growing weaker and weaker, until only faint whimpers remained, and then silence.
Han Li did not stop immediately. Instead, he struck the faint primordial spirit on the ground—barely brighter than a candle flame—dozens of times. Realizing it was impossible to completely extinguish the last flicker of green light, he finally sheathed the soft sword, wrapping it back onto his waist.
Only then did Han Li say coldly:
“I never cooperate with those who take poison oaths using their own parents. Let alone follow in Doctor Mo’s footsteps, believing the promises of a petty villain like you.”
Casting a cold glance at the last flicker of Yu Zitong’s primordial spirit, Han Li turned without hesitation, walked to the stone door, and pushed open the heavy door.
As the stone door opened, several dazzling beams of sunlight shot in from outside, shining on the remaining primordial spirit. Instantly, with a “puff,” the faint green glow flashed and disappeared, dissolving into wisps of smoke that vanished into the air.
In this way, the only trace left of Yu Zitong in this world was completely erased by Han Li, leaving no means to investigate this person further.
Han Li knew that primordial spirits feared light — a fact Doctor Mo reminded him of when he extinguished many lamps upon entering the room — or else Han Li would have had no way to deal with such an indestructible last remnant, and would have remained on edge.
However, Han Li’s ease in extinguishing the opponent’s primordial spirit was not without help. The Seven Poisons Water he had prepared in advance played an indispensable role.
This poison liquid was an improved version of the Five Poisons Water previously confiscated by Doctor Mo, with the addition of a material called “earth mushroom flower.” This toxic herb was not only highly poisonous to ordinary people but also severely disrupted the primordial spirit of immortal cultivators.
It was precisely for this reason that Yu Zitong had been unable to successfully cast spells, causing his primordial spirit to be easily extinguished.
Han Li sprayed the Seven Poisons Water on Yu Zitong’s primordial spirit initially, influenced by various legendary stories where all kinds of demons and monsters feared liquids such as chicken blood or black dog blood. Han Li, having a sudden inspiration, treated Yu Zitong’s spirit like a ghost.
If Yu Zitong knew about this coincidence from beyond the grave, he might be furious enough to vomit blood and die again.
Han Li, of course, was unaware of this serendipity. All he knew was that even without the poison’s effect, opening the door would have inevitably extinguished Yu Zitong’s primordial spirit. With this thorough consideration, he struck mercilessly, showing no compassion.
Now he was finally free, no longer living under the constant threat of a blade at his neck, prepared at any moment to face death.
