Chapter 497: Blood Master Remnant Soul, Capture Plan
Jiang Buping frowned as he looked at the young man, his eyes showing a hint of confusion. The hatred in the man seemed to surge like a tempest, as if he held an unshareable vendetta against Jiang, yet despite wracking his brain, Jiang couldn't recall any enmity between them.
"A member of the Jiang Family?"
The first thought that came to mind was naturally the Jiang Family.
Jiang Buping immediately denied it, as there were no enemies left in the Jiang Family who might seek revenge for Jiang Tianming.
"A powerful figure from the Netherworld? The same as Jiang Tianming, could it be that all actions against me are orchestrated by him from behind the scenes?
"Have I ever wronged the Netherworld so grievously for them to target me like this?"
Jiang Buping's eyes flashed, and he immediately furrowed his brows. Within the young man's Divine Soul, a Remnant Soul lurked, the same as Jiang Tianming's.
Jiang Tianming targeted him, relying on the owner of that Remnant Soul; now, this person, overflowing with hatred and seemingly sharing an irreconcilable enmity, also harbored a Remnant Soul within his Divine Soul.
This made Jiang Buping think more deeply, how could such coincidences exist in the world?
Especially when both instances targeted him, and the perpetrator in each had the other's Remnant Soul within them.
At this thought, Jiang Buping's expression turned cold and his eyes filled with rage. Today, he was determined to expose the person behind this and demand an explanation for their targeted hostility.
What grudge do they truly hold against me!
Blood Extreme was unaware of Jiang Buping's current thoughts; otherwise, he would certainly cry foul. This was not his personal vendetta, but just an unfortunate encounter that happened to involve him.
He, Blood Extreme, was merely taking advantage of the situation to seek a chance for recovery!
Boom!
At this moment, the young man had drawn a blood-red, translucent long sword. Its aura soared to the heavens, turning the world blood-red where the sword cast its light, with the image of the Blood Prison Demon Abyss emerging between.
In the Blood Prison, the young man seemed to appear and disappear intermittently, his form sinister and malevolent as the aura of slaughter whirled around, hissing ominously.
The cohort of Immortal Heavenly Venerables were all shocked, hastily retreating.
Too terrifying!
Especially those who had just been standing next to the young man, now their faces were covered in cold sweat, overwhelmed by the fear of the aftermath.
Having such a malevolent person standing beside them was truly perilous.
And a few of the Immortal Heavenly Venerables, recalling the sudden disappearances of their peers along the way and seeing the dreadful visage of the Blood Prison Demon Abyss, turned pale, feeling fortunate that they had narrowly escaped a disaster.
The aura of the Blood Prison stirred the wind and clouds, as if transforming this part of the world into a segment of the Blood Prison, with a demon brandishing a sword standing within.
"Who are you, and what great vendetta do you have with me, Jiang Buping?"
Jiang Buping's expression was cold, as the Extreme Soul Divine Spear appeared in his hand.
The young man's power was indeed formidable, but his own strength was no longer comparable to his previous inferior state in the Taikun Realm.
Jiang Buping seemed to be questioning the young man but indeed was addressing Blood Extreme. Blood Extreme, ignorant of this, believed he could fully conceal himself by inducing the Blood Prison Demon Abyss and the Netherworld Blood Qi eruption.
Unlike last time, Jiang Buping would not discover him.
Yet, Blood Extreme didn't know Jiang Buping had already sensed his presence.
"It's the Remnant Soul from last time."
Meng Chong said somewhat surprised.
The battle in the Taikun Realm had completely obliterated the Remnant Soul, yet today it reappeared, identical to the previous one, indicating they originated from the same powerful entity.
This implied that the Remnant Soul they had initially defeated was only a part of it.
It was even possible that the current Remnant Soul wasn't all that the deceased had left behind.
Meng Chong's suspicions were similar to Jiang Buping's, suspecting that this Remnant Soul was manipulating everything from behind the scenes, targeting Jiang Buping.
However, both he and Jiang Buping were puzzled, as a Remnant Soul of such a Supreme Expert shouldn't logically bear any grudge against Jiang Buping.
"A Netherworld Remnant Soul, and stronger than Xuewang!"
Xu Yan pondered for a moment, "Could it be the Remnant Soul of a Blood Lord?"
A Netherworld Blood Lord, a Supreme Expert of the Realm Master Realm. Within the Taicang Domain, exists a Blood Lord Remnant Soul that survived a great battle, clinging on to life?
"A Blood Lord Remnant Soul?"
Su Lingxiu's eyes lit up.
The Remnant Soul of a Realm Master Realm expert; if captured, it warranted thorough research to possibly understand what made a Divine Soul of a Realm Master Realm expert so unique and powerful compared to those of inferior Martial Artists.
Moreover, being from another Domain made it even more worthy of investigation, heightening Su Lingxiu's interest.
"Senior Brother, how powerful is this Remnant Soul, and can we capture it?"
Su Lingxiu asked excitedly.
Xu Yan pondered for a moment, saying, "That depends on the Fifth Junior Brother. With his current strengths, he is more than capable of utterly annihilating that Divine Soul.
"Of course, if it is indeed a Blood Lord Remnant Soul, it might possess some unusual secret techniques. While annihilation is feasible, capturing it will be more challenging."
A Netherworld Blood Lord, a Supreme Expert of the Realm Master Realm, was known for decisive actions and extraordinary measures, making eradication relatively simpler than capturing.
Such powerful figures would hardly suffer the indignity of falling into weaker hands; they would likely obliterate themselves in critical moments.
Moreover, if there were any other surviving Remnant Souls elsewhere, they would certainly not allow this segment to fall into enemy hands, opting for a more decisive and straightforward self-destruction.
