Chapter 827: Liu Jie’s Powers Increased Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios With his hand and fingers tangled together, a crisp crack whipped through the air, followed by blood-curdling sounds of grinding. The insufferably arrogant Miao Zhuo let out an ear-splitting howl of pain. With the fingers wrapped together, any force exerted on them would lead to excruciating pain. Miao Zhuo’s fingers were forcefully pushed against his palm and formed a helix. From the way Miao Zhuo’s hand looked, people with sharp eyes would have known that the bones had to be broken. It was impossible for the bones to bend to such a severe curve. When Miao Zhuo let out his agonizing wail of pain, dreamy cloud-like orchid petals landed on Miao Zhuo’s shoulder. An elegant praying mantis with orchid-petal-shaped raptorial legs shrouded in strange shadows appeared on Miao Zhuo’s neck. The small and charming praying mantis looked to only be about seven or eight centimeters long, but it radiated powerful soul energy. The praying mantis gently sucked on Miao Zhuo’s neck, and it seemed as though something was pulled out of Miao Zhuo’s body. Miao Zhuo stopped wailing in pain as the new pain from his soul was so acute that he could only spasm silently. A faint golden light lit up around Miao Zhuo’s body, and the figure that was being pulled out of his body slowly returned back into him. Before the small praying mantis started fighting against the golden light, the praying mantis’ raptorial legs sliced across the golden light and cut off a piece of it. After the praying mantis happily absorbed the piece of light it had cut off, it turned into an orchid petal and landed on Liu Jie’s shoulder. When the small praying mantis attacked Miao Zhuo, Lin Yuan used True Data to check on it. [Fey Name]: Orchid Petal Knife Mantis (Dead Soul Demon Insect) [Fey Species]: Demon insect-species/ flightless-insect species [Fey Grade]: Diamond (10/10) [Fey Type]: Soul [Fey Quality]: Legend Abilities: [Soul Suck]: Suck the soul that is hiding in the target’s mind out of its body. [Parasitic Soul Dead Seed]: Leave a soul seed in the living creature’s mind that will combine with the soul. When the target dies, the target’s soul can be absorbed through the parasite, leaving the body empty to be possessed. [Exploding Soul Dead Bullets]: Trigger a mutation in the target’s body. When the target’s empty body is possessed, it will explode, and the pieces will be spread out as seeds. [Demon Soul Training]: Absorb the target’s soul to increase the strength of its own soul. After completely possessing the target’s body and gaining full control of it, the strength of the soul will determine the power of the target’s body. [Dead Soul Ferry]: A low soul noise will be produced that can be used to control the soul of the target. Strong soul tremors will destabilize the target’s soul, making it easier to be absorbed. [Soul Jade Attachment]: When the soul power explodes, the soul will turn into jade that, when shattered, will result in a soul attack that is stronger than the original strength of the soul. The shattered jade will turn into soul mist that will surround all the living creatures in an area, and a soul seed will be implanted in all the living creatures. Exclusive Skill: [Dead Soul Immortality]: When the body is killed, and there is no soul seed to utilize, the Dead Soul Demon Insect’s soul will leave the body and float around in a designated space. After enough deaths occur in the designated space, the Dead Soul Demon Insect’s soul will absorb the dead souls and come back to life. Lin Yuan nodded slightly when he saw the Orchid Petal Knife Mantis or Dead Soul Demon Insect’s True Data. After Liu Jie’s Insect Queen mutation, Lin Yuan had not had the chance to spar with Liu Jie. But Lin Yuan had seen the Insect Queen’s True Data and knew that it could use the spiritual poison from the Blade Queen Bee to control other insect-species feys. Due to the Insect Queen’s characteristics, Liu Jie had been unable to form contracts with other feys, and it caused him to lack variety during combat. Now that the Insect Queen had gained the Blade Queen Bee’s spiritual poison, Liu Jie had overcome this limitation. The Insect Queen was now like a contractor that could use the Blade Queen Bee’s spiritual poison to form contracts with insect-species feys. However, the Insect Queen could not form contracts with insect-species feys that had greater spiritual power than it did. Otherwise, the Insect Queen would experience recoil and die. As such, Liu Jie could instruct the Insect Queen to contract tens of insect-species feys without problems. As a spiritual-type fairy-type source-type lifeform, the Insect Queen had a stronger spirit than regular feys and source-type lifeforms. But compared to regular insect-species feys, insect-species carcinoma feys were undoubtedly a better choice for Liu Jie because of their messy spirits. In spite of this Dead Soul Demon Insect’s exceptionally strong soul, it still had weaker spiritual power than the Insect Queen’s Flesh-Mincing Blade Insects. If Liu Jie was not the Chief Spirit Guard’s disciple, even if Lin Yuan had figured out that insect-species carcinoma feys were the best choice for the Insect Queen to contract, he would not have been able to find any. Lin Yuan’s only carcinoma fey, the Sea Burial Lotus Flower, had been obtained through a coincidence. The Spirit Guards controlled carcinoma feys strictly. Liu Jie had always been upfront about his growth with Lin Yuan and had never forgotten about his position as Lin Yuan’s retainer knight. Lin Yuan knew that Liu Jie already had eight extremely strong insect-species carcinoma feys under his control, and every kind had the potential to generate a disaster. The Orchid Petal Knife Mantis was an insect-species carcinoma fey that the Insect Queen had taken control of. The Orchid Petal Knife Mantis had used Soul Suck on Miao Zhuo, and the golden light should have been an item that Miao Zhuo’s seniors had given him to protect his soul. But after being attacked by the Diamond X/Legend Dead Soul Demon Insect, the item could not fully protect Miao Zhuo. Hence, Miao Zhuo’s soul had still been injured. Everything had taken place in the blink of an eye.. Everyone present, including Long Tao, Li Xuan, and Gao Feng, were dumbfounded by Liu Jie’s sudden attack.
