Reincarnated as an Energy with a System-Chapter 135: Soul
Kaezir quickly reached the physician's guild and saw people panicking as their body was starting to rot and the physicians had no clue.
As soon as he reached, he activated his technique and cleansed a lot of people in the area.
"Ikusa, go and help with the fight," Kaezir said. He had already seen a battlefield not far away when he was coming here.
"On it," Ikusa said and immediately took off.
"Where are the elders?" Kaezir shouted angrily, gathering all the elders at the place at once.
"There is a tragedy happening all around you and all you can do is hole up in here? What the hell are you guys doing?" Kaezir shouted.
"What else can we do senior? I can't think of any cure to the diseases," someone said.
"It's not a disease. It's corpse Qi. Use your Buddhist techniques to cleanse them. 2 of you stay here and heal the people. I and the First Elder will go around cleansing the corpses in the city. As for the rest of you, go help our allies on the battlefield," Kaezir ordered.
Everyone nodded and immediately took off.
Ikusa finally made his way to the battlefield. He could see the hundreds of disciples from the Pure Cleansing sect having a hard time with the fights.
'My disciples should be coming anytime soon. They will help alleviate some of the pressure,' he thought. He then saw a bald man amidst the group who was fighting the blue-skinned woman's hoard of corpses, but there were just too many.
"Kacim, use your Buddhist techniques. Those are corpses and will die with your techniques," Ikusa said. At the same time, he ordered the Rainbow Pheonix to go around burning all the different corpses and healing the different people at the same time.
A ring of golden halo appeared around Kacim, cleansing all the corpses around him. "How'd you know that would work?" Kacim asked.
"Your dad told me. They have corpse Qi and thus your Buddhist techniques can fight them," Ikusa said.
"Tsk Tsk Tsk. To think there was someone with Buddhist techniques in this place. And a bird with phoenix flames too? What bad luck on my part." A voice came from above in the sky.
Both Ikusa and Kacim looked up. Above them was a woman in her 50s, floating in the sky with a skin so blue that she nearly blended in the night sky.
"That's…"
"What are you doing exactly, Ulkai. Why are you attacking the city?" Ikusa asked.
"Ulkai? Who's th— Ah, right. That was what they called this body, didn't they?" the woman said.
Both of the men realized that something was wrong, that something was weird. "You… you're not Ulkai. Who are you?" Ikusa asked.
"No, I am not. I just took over her body 2 years ago. My soul was quite destroyed so I needed quite a lot of time to recuperate myself. I wanted to get myself an army of corpses, but who would've guessed there were Buddhists living in this backwater city," the one that took over Ulkai's body spoke.
"You took over her body?" Kacim couldn't help but be shocked. Taking over someone's body wasn't something one could do without putting in either a part or all of their own soul into someone's body. And the only way someone's soul could be developed enough to be manipulated was when the person had…
"You're a Nascent Soul cultivator," Ikusa said in shock as he realized it as well.
"Huh? You guys are quite smart for someone in such a remote place. Good job on knowing what a Nascent soul is." The woman's patronizing voice was very irritating.
"2 years ago… that means the Triennial competition. Someone in the Nascent Soul realm was in that competition?" Ikusa couldn't help but say.
"You were behind the decline of the Eagle sect. Did you cultivate corpse Qi for over 2 years? But that requires tormented souls, dead people. Who did you kill?" Kacim asked.
"Oh you are smart enough to realize, aren't you?" the woman said with a sinister smile.
Ikusa and Kacim both had a sinking feeling. They immediately looked down to the battlefield, at the many women who were fighting.
"Where are the male disciples?" Kacim asked.
"Hehe, Dead," the woman said with a smile.
"You!," Kacim got angry and immediately brought out a necklace with 108 brown beads on them. He held it with his right hand as he brought his left hand to a prayer gesture.
Ikusa brought out a massive sword as well as a panther with lightning stripes all over its body.
"Come, I want to see how long you Foundation Establishment realm folks can last," the woman said and immediately formed a defensive barrier with her corpse qi.
The fire spread around the sword as Ikusa had his bird light it aflame. He immediately dashed forward to slam the barrier. However, that seemed to do nothing to the barrier.
"You are strong and have phoenix flames, but that isn't enough to beat my corpse Qi," the woman said and suddenly hit Ikusa's face with a burst of corpse Qi which made his face start to rot immediately.
He got his phoenix to heal his face, but it wasn't as easily done as with the other low leveled women he had fought until now.
"Amitabha." The halo around Kacim grew wider until Ikusa was inside it. The rot which was stopped by the phoenix flames immediately washed away.
The halo stopped after it reached the corpse Qi barrier and couldn't move any further.
"Are you okay?" Kacim asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for saving me. It seems my Rainbow Phoenix's flames are not fast enough to counter her flames," Ikusa said.
"We will have to properly work together for this one. We can't go doing our own thing," Kacim said.
"Yes I understand," Ikusa said and moved once more. However, this time, Kacim moved as well.
The woman only smiled more. "Come on, Come on. I haven't had this much fun in nearly 5 years. Hahaha."
