Chapter 211: Soul-Shattering Evidence Gathering

"Does it matter who he is?"

Yan Xishou glared at the man in red, seemingly wishing he could tear him apart.

"He dared to come and investigate the organ trade, which is seeking his own death. He even threatened me to hand over the transaction records... No matter who he is, he must die today!"

"Don't worry, he will definitely die today," the Paper Puppeteer said slowly. "I’ve basically figured out his tricks. With Pu Shu and me here today, he won't be able to escape even if he grows wings."

"Aren't you curious about the relationship between him and Chen Ling, the law enforcer who broke into Aurora City and burned himself to death in front of everyone?"

Hearing this, the murderous intent on Yan Xishou’s face faded slightly. He looked at the man in red locked in place and said in a deep voice:

"You mean..."

"I just activated the Soul-Shattering Bead. Why don't we take this opportunity to see what secrets he has."

As the Paper Puppeteer spoke, he looked up not far away. A paper doll was holding something and walking over... It was a gray substance like a crystal ball, about the size of a human head. White meteors were flying chaotically inside the gray crystal. If one looked closely, one could see that they were actually struggling, painful soul faces.

The man in red’s gaze fell on the gray crystal, his eyes narrowing slightly, wondering what he was thinking.

"Soul-Shattering Evidence Gathering?" The old butler nodded. "Fine. If his soul isn't strong enough and gets crushed into slag, it will save us the trouble of doing it ourselves..."

The Paper Puppeteer walked in front of the man in red and brushed his fingertips lightly across the surface of the gray crystal, leaving an imperceptible crack. At the same time, the dense, struggling faces inside the gray crystal went crazy, crowding toward the crack, like a school of fish desperately trying to escape a cage.

As the Paper Puppeteer raised his fingertips, one of the faces was released, winding around his palm like faint white smoke. His other hand brushed the surface of the gray crystal again, and the imperceptible crack automatically repaired itself, returning to normal.

"The current record for Soul-Shattering Evidence Gathering is held by that kid named Jian. I don't know what his soul is made of, but he actually managed to endure four rounds..."

The Paper Puppeteer slowly raised his palm, and the hand wreathed in white smoke paused above the man in red’s head.

"As for you... how many times can you endure?"

Bang—!

As the words fell, the Paper Puppeteer’s hand landed on the man in red’s head like lightning. The wreathed white smoke instantly turned into a ferocious face, frantically drilling into his mind!

With the disappearance of the face, a wisp of white smoke began to spread around the man in red’s head. Countless light and shadows flickered in this smoke, like a television screen with a bad connection, searching for an image bit by bit.

The Paper Puppeteer, the black-clad Pu Shu, Yan Xishou, the old butler, and others watched the white smoke intently, and the air fell into a dead silence.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Time passed slowly, but no image appeared in the smoke.

Yan Xishou, standing to the side, frowned slightly.

"What’s going on? Did the evidence gathering fail? Why is there no reaction..."

The old butler was also full of doubts. Just as he was about to say something, pairs of scarlet eyes suddenly opened in the surging white smoke!

The next moment, it was as if an invisible hand slapped the white smoke, crushing it into pieces. A sharp and painful wail sounded from the man in red’s head, and soon it was silent...

That wasn't the man in red’s voice, but the voice of the struggling face that had just drilled into his mind.

Everyone was stunned. They had used this ritual vessel for so long, and such a situation had never happened before...

Before they could react, the man in red, who had been closing his eyes, suddenly opened them. The bright red opera robe rolled like a bloody wave, obscuring everyone’s vision for a moment. By the time they could see the scene before them again, the figure had already floated into the air and was rushing toward the roof not far away!

"Damn it!! Soul-Shattering Evidence Gathering is ineffective against him?!"

"He took the Soul-Shattering Bead too!"

"This kid is simply too evil! We absolutely cannot let him live! Kill him on the spot!!"

Successive roars erupted from the crowd. The old butler looked at the receding red figure, murderous intent flashing in his eyes, and immediately gave the order!

The Paper Puppeteer was also angry. Being played for a fool one after another had completely worn out his patience. Even if the old butler hadn't said it, he wouldn't leave any survivors this time... He didn't even let the paper doll chase him this time, but personally stepped on a frantically folding paper doll and rushed wildly in the direction the man in red had left!

The black-clad Pu Shu beside him also had an incredibly ugly face. He stepped forward, and his figure dissolved into brushstrokes again and disappeared from the spot.

Above the roof, the cold wind was biting!

The man in red landed on the roof surface and was about to make a move when his figure suddenly exploded!

A "撇" and a "捺" were like two cannonballs, piercing directly through the man in red’s body from behind, blowing two shocking bloody holes in his heart and abdomen. Through the bloody remains, the figure of the black-clad Pu Shu could be seen emerging rapidly.

The man in red’s figure paused suddenly, stiffening in place. At the same time, an extremely sharp paper knife cut through the air and floated across his body...

He was like a piece of bloody tofu that had been split open. From his left shoulder to his right hip, the upper half of his body began to misalign with his torso in a bizarre way, the cut surface being incredibly smooth.

He had been cut in two by a single blade.

The figures of the black-clad Pu Shu and the Paper Puppeteer stood side by side not far away. They looked coldly at the man in red, who no longer looked human, their expressions completely indifferent... A Tier 4 and a Tier 5 powerhouse simultaneously unleashed their strongest strength; there was no suspense in the outcome.

At the end of the road in the distance, Chu Muyun, wearing a wool coat, walked over quickly and happened to see this scene, standing frozen in place.

"I said, even if you grow wings today, don't think about leaving here." The Paper Puppeteer looked at the man in red as if looking at a corpse.

Perhaps because of the 【Blood Robe】, even though he was disemboweled, his torso exploded, and he was cut in two, the man in red didn't die immediately... He stood on the roof covered in blood, like a monster forcibly pieced together by chaotic flesh and blood.

The cold wind blew over the towering roof, rolling up the bloody corners of the opera robe. The broken figure looked down, a bizarre and crazy smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Who said... I wanted to run?"

In front of everyone, he picked up the gray crystal of the Soul-Shattering Evidence Gathering with one hand and lifted it with difficulty in front of him...

"Using only one soul for evidence gathering... is not enough."

The man in red opened his mouth and bit down hard on it!

Sharp, pale teeth instantly shattered the gray crystal. Countless soul faces struggled frantically from within. As the crystal slag was chewed hard by that blood-stained mouth, it made a sharp, ear-piercing sound!

At this moment, he was like a demon devouring souls!
