Whoosh——

Under Wu Liang's terrifying power and speed, no matter how the black mist tried to hold him back, it only took him about ten seconds.

The entire person burst out from the black mist, stirring up a gust of wind, which caused a hint of surprise to flash in the eyes of the Pioneer not far away.

In his original design, this one-time black mist should have been able to block Wu Liang for about five minutes, right?

The Pioneer also understood this boy Wu Liang quite well.

He had concluded that Wu Liang wouldn't charge around blindly in the black mist where he couldn't perceive correctly, but would slowly explore and attempt to break through.

Why could the opponent accurately find his correct position?

"Yo, buddy, you haven't caught anyone yet? Didn't I give you enough time?" Wu Liang said mischievously, and the Mist Sword he held in his hand instantly reached the Pioneer's forehead.

Just as it was about to pierce through the opponent's skull, the figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared ten meters away.

The Pioneer couldn't help but grumble, "You're simply a monster! Can mere physical strength catch up with spatial ability's short-distance transfer?!"

In facing Wu Liang, his only advantage actually lay in the jade bracelet on his wrist.

Although it could only provide short-distance teleportation, it was still a specific kind of spatial ability.

And right now, the only thing Wu Liang lacked was this ability targeting space.

"Monster? Who between us is more like a monster? At least I am a normal person." Wu Liang twisted his neck and said.

The Pioneer sneered at this.

"Person? Where can you claim to be human anymore? If we had succeeded in turning you into a Fierce Ghost in Chengyang City, you would be the strongest Ghost King here, wouldn't you?"

"My mind and soul are still human."

With that, a glint of red light flashed in Wu Liang's eyes.

A brief panic flashed through the Pioneer's heart, as if something strange had happened when Wu Liang glanced at him, but he noticed nothing specific had actually changed.

Swish——

Suddenly, from the distance where Zeng Hu was fleeing, a blood-red dagger was thrown over.

No one knew when it appeared behind the Pioneer, sinister and deadly.

But such non-specific assaults would not have any effect on Wu Liang and Pioneer at their level.

As the dagger was about to touch the Pioneer, he sensed it and casually reached back to grab it.

Crack——

Unexpectedly, the jade bracelet on the Pioneer's wrist emitted a crisp cracking sound.

The dagger smashed it directly!

He did not manage to grab it!

For such a slow attack, the Pioneer misjudged the attack's distance!

From any angle, if this wasn't a mistake, then it was really extremely unlucky!

"Unlucky? Do you also have a cursing means? Truly a versatile monster." The Pioneer did not show panic due to the bracelet's damage.

He merely pulled a white cloth from the brocade pouch and covered his face, wiping it casually, after which the white cloth inexplicably turned pitch black.

Wu Liang also very clearly felt that the misfortune curse he had used, the Midnight Evil Bell, to inflict on him had vanished.

This white cloth was obviously some kind of curse-countering supernatural object.

"What a pity, our battle's ultimate purpose is completely different. You are trying to kill or capture me." The Pioneer said with some regret after wiping his face, "While I essentially do not need to deal with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Pioneer actually started to melt!

Starting with the hair drooping down limply, then the skin on his face started twisting and deforming like a wax statue encountering high heat, and then the facial features gradually disappeared, crumbling to the ground from mid-air.

Finally, the entire person thoroughly turned into a mess of mud covering the ground.

Wu Liang just watched him melt before his eyes without taking any action.

Because he already knew what the opponent was doing.

"Ah! Mr. Shadow! Help!"

Zeng Hu's cries of agony came from a hundred meters away.

At this moment, he was completely wrapped up by a mass of foul-smelling sludge, and he very clearly felt the opponent was seeping into his body through various orifices.

It felt like being placed on an operating table, fully anesthetized and stripped, left to others' whim.

The feeling of complete inability to control himself was truly unbearable.

"Emotion! Emotion! Where the hell are you?" Zeng Hu kept calling Wu Liang out loud, and inside, he kept calling for the Emotion Ghost in the depths of his mind.

He hoped the other party could hold off the Pioneer's invasion for a moment.

However, the previously chatty Emotion Ghost was now completely silent, as if it didn't exist at all, without any movement.

"Stop shouting, kid. It can't hear you."

At this moment, a weird voice echoed in Zeng Hu's mind, similar to the Emotion Ghost before.

However, the tone sent chills down his spine.

"Pioneer..."

With so much discussed with Wu Liang, even a pig would know who this guy was!

The Pioneer spoke slowly, "The severity of differences in spiritual soul levels is much harder to resist than physical levels. If your fists aren't harder than others, you can run. But if your spiritual strength isn't as great as others, you can't escape, and your companion will never wake up."

The "companion" he mentioned was, of course, Zeng Hu's symbiotic Fierce Ghost—the Emotion Ghost.

Hearing these words, Zeng Hu couldn't help but hold his breath, eyes filled with an unbearable sadness.

Even if he had only been with the Emotion Ghost for a few days, the unique symbiosis made them the closest of relations.

Now, that presence was gone without a trace.

How could Zeng Hu accept this?

"Mr. Shadow...he will save..."

"No, he won't, because now you're mine, and no one can separate us except myself."

This was a plan the Pioneer had set in motion since he saw Wu Liang.

Actually, when he had trapped Wu Liang with the black mist earlier, the Pioneer could have caught up to Zeng Hu.

However, just capturing the opponent was meaningless, as he said—Wu Liang would rescue him.

So the Pioneer planted a soul capture curse on him, to ensure Zeng Hu could not be rescued by Wu Liang.

This was a curse that could bind the two souls together, not breakable by external forces.

Unless one party forcibly unbound it.

But Zeng Hu's spiritual soul strength was like a newborn baby before the Pioneer, completely powerless to undo the binding, making it a curse that only the Pioneer could decide on.

After working hard for so long and several times almost getting caught by Wu Liang again, losing another vital soul avatar, luckily in the end, he still won.

"Oh? No one can separate them except you? Then go ahead and separate them yourself. I've been waiting for your soul to leave the body and bind the curse for a long time..."

A sudden voice appeared behind Zeng Hu.

The Pioneer turned his head, a bit puzzled, to glance at Wu Liang, who was walking over with a mischievous smile.

He couldn't quite understand the other party's words.

What does it mean for himself to separate them?

I'm not a fool!

Crack——

Just as the Pioneer thought of this, the soul-binding curse between him and Zeng Hu suddenly cracked.

Then the entire curse collapsed completely, and the filth that had entered Zeng Hu's body flowed out entirely, leaving no remnant traces.

"This...this is..."

Suddenly, the Pioneer's eyes fell upon the black cloak in Wu Liang's hand, with that familiar spiritual aura flickering endlessly.

This time, he finally ceased to consider this thing a trick by Wu Liang, gnashing his teeth as he said, "Yin Qiming! When did you start colluding with this kid!"

"About ten days ago, this is a transaction that allows the two of us to completely separate. Haven't you always been looking forward to this moment? Hahaha!"

For the first time, a bright smile appeared under the black cloak of Yin Qiming.
