If the soul leaves the body for an extended period, the body will inevitably die, and the soul without a body to house it will not exist in the world for long.
Elder Li was willing to risk his life for the sake of King Jing.
Of course, Elder Li, who was fighting desperately at this moment, did not know that the King of Jing, whom he had always been loyal to, had been dealt with by the Demon Emperor and directly possessed by evil spirits, becoming a complete tool of attack.
“Your body isn’t working very well.” Liu Yechang’s soul had also entered another body, but his situation was different from Elder Liu Xinya’s.
He and Liu Yechang's bodies were perfectly compatible in the Immortal Realm, so there would be no rejection whatsoever.
Elder Liu forcibly "borrowed" Liu Xinya's body, and Liu Xinya's body simply could not withstand Elder Li's power.
"Just hold on until the Three Realms War ends." Elder Li didn't have many other requirements.
In the end, all that would happen is that Liu Xinya's body couldn't withstand his power and exploded. At that time, King Jing's business would be finished, and he could be considered to have retired successfully.
"No..." Elder Li had barely finished speaking when Liu Xinya's voice was squeezed out of her throat in a painful and broken tone.
Elder Li's expression changed. He hadn't expected Liu Xinya's soul to be so tenacious, still unwilling to abandon this body.
"Shut up! It's your blessing to be able to sacrifice yourself for King Jing!" Elder Li shouted, his face contorted with extreme pain, looking exceptionally ferocious and terrifying.
Clearly, Liu Xinya was suffering inhuman pain, both physically and spiritually.
Elder Li reached out, wanting to deliver a powerful blow to Liu Xinya. If he didn't suppress Liu Xinya's soul, it would affect his later battles.
Without a second thought, Elder Li slammed his palm down, but his arm was tightly bound by a force, preventing him from striking.
Elder Li looked up in surprise and saw a familiar figure, exclaiming incredulously, "Qin Ming?"
A nearly transparent figure appeared in front of Elder Li, its large hand gripping Elder Li's wrist tightly, and said coldly, "You are not allowed to hurt Liu Xinya."
"Huh? You're not allowed?" Elder Li laughed loudly. When did Qin Ming have the right to tell him that he was not allowed?
Elder Li stared at Qin Ming, unable to fathom why Qin Ming, who had long since died, still possessed a soul in the world. This matter was too strange.
Upon seeing Qin Ming's soul, Liu Xinya's struggling soul suddenly stopped moving. She never expected that she would see Qin Ming again in this lifetime.
Instinctively, without thinking, Liu Xinya cried out, "Qin Ming, save me..."
Qin Ming's body jolted, clearly having heard Liu Xinya's cry for help.
Elder Li casually slapped the approaching demon soldier to death and said with a sneer, "Qin Ming, don't forget how you died back then."
Elder Li only hinted at the point, but Qin Ming and Liu Xinya both understood the meaning behind his words.
Qin Ming gripped Liu Xinya's wrist tightly, looking at her familiar yet unfamiliar face, watching her writhe and convulse in pain, his eyes filled with Elder Li's arrogance and Liu Xinya's lingering pain.
Qin Ming closed his eyes tightly, as if he were struggling intensely inside.
Elder Li smiled smugly, knowing that he would win in the end.
Because he understands Qin Ming.
As a warrior of the Demon Realm, Qin Ming's position was definitely earned step by step through his own blood and merits.
Qin Ming is a stubborn and proud person.
He admitted that Qin Ming did indeed dote on Liu Xinya, but it was precisely because of this doting that Qin Ming harbored a deep and absolute hatred.
To be killed by the person you love and trust most—that kind of blow, that kind of pain, is something that even an ordinary person, let alone a proud person like Qin Ming, couldn't bear.
Therefore, there was no suspense; in the end, he would definitely win. He knew that Qin Ming would eventually let go.
"Qin Ming..." Liu Xinya's voice rang out weakly, filled with pleading and despair as she called out to her only hope.
Elder Li looked at Qin Ming and said, "Qin Ming, you are just a wisp of a soul now. How much power do you have?"
The implication is that the chances of successfully saving Liu Xinya are less than 50%.
It's best not to do anything pointless.
Qin Ming slowly loosened his grip on "Liu Xinya".
Elder Li smiled happily; he knew he had won.
Liu Xinya's soul within her body sank into despair, and she understood that her last hope was completely gone.
Just then, Elder Li suddenly felt a chill inside his body, as if something had quickly entered and exited. He looked down in surprise and hurriedly checked, fearing that something might have happened to his body.
I checked and found nothing wrong, except...
Elder Li looked up in astonishment and saw Qin Ming holding Liu Xinya's soul in his hand.
"Entering the body to extract the soul?" Elder Li was dumbfounded, utterly dumbfounded.
He never expected Qin Ming to do this.
It is important to know that it takes a great deal of effort to force a person's soul out of their body.
This is why he only took over Liu Xinya's body and wanted to suppress her soul, but did not force her out.
Because doing so would consume too much of his strength, and he might not even have the ability to fight in the future.
Even he wouldn't dare to force his original soul out of his body like that. Qin Ming himself was a soul that had been floating in the world for a long time, and his power had probably been almost completely exhausted.
So Qin Ming still forcibly used the method of soul extraction?
Has Qin Ming gone mad?
Qin Ming completely disregarded Elder Li's thoughts, grabbed Liu Xinya's soul with one hand, and flew away quickly, far away from the troubles of the Demon Realm Royal City.
Still shaken, Liu Xinya let Qin Ming pull her along until they reached the mountains and stopped. Only then did Liu Xinya come to her senses and stare at Qin Ming with surprise, asking, "Qin Ming, you're so kind."
She had finally escaped Elder Li's clutches and could no longer endure that desperate, inhuman suffering.
The pain of having a soul forcibly inserted into her body was unbearable.
After landing, Liu Xinya looked around and asked with a smile, "Qin Ming, how do you plan to revive me?"
After Liu Xinya finished speaking, she suddenly noticed that Qin Ming was looking at her strangely, and her heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling.
However, clinging to the last glimmer of hope, she cautiously asked Qin Ming, "Qin Ming, didn't you hear me?"
Qin Ming stared intently at Liu Xinya without saying a word, his intense gaze making Liu Xinya feel uneasy.
Just as Liu Xinya was about to break down and scream, Qin Ming finally spoke: "Do you think I have the ability to bring you back to life?"
Liu Xinya was taken aback by Qin Ming's question, but then forced a fawning smile onto her face: "Qin Ming, you've always been very capable. You must have a way, right?"
"Look, you're dead, but your soul hasn't dissipated. You must have a way to bring me back to life." Liu Xinya didn't realize that her words were like stabbing Qin Ming in the heart.
Qin Ming stared intently at Liu Xinya for a long time before sighing, "Liu Xinya, I really don't know what I liked about you back then?"
Is this the person he has always loved?
Why did it turn out like this?
Where exactly did we go wrong?
Liu Xinya's smile froze for a moment, then she quickly recovered, smiling ingratiatingly at Qin Ming: "You must find a way to bring us back to life. Once we're back, we can be together again. Then we'll have plenty of time to slowly explain why you like me."
"I will let you know that it's not wrong for you to like me."
Liu Xinya softly painted a picture of perfect happiness for Qin Ming.
Of course, if this were in the past, Qin Ming would have been overjoyed and completely absorbed in it, but now, it's too late, far too late.
Qin Ming had experienced too much, and he had completely seen through everything about Liu Xinya. Therefore, for him, this scene was not happiness, but irony and mockery.
They were mocking his past foolishness, his ignorance, and his poor judgment of people.
"Liu Xinya, if I could be resurrected, why don't I resurrect myself?" Qin Ming did not refute Liu Xinya's topic, but instead used facts to shatter Liu Xinya's wishful thinking.
Seeing the happy and "cute" smile on Liu Xinya's face suddenly disappear, replaced by deep disappointment and resentment.
Her once beautiful face now appeared so ugly that it made Qin Ming feel nauseous. He truly couldn't understand how he could have faced such a person all these years ago.
He's still obsessed; he's truly blinded and deluded.
"You...you mean...you have no way?" Liu Xinya asked, her voice trembling, wanting to confirm if the news she had just heard was true.
"Yes, there's no way." Qin Ming's affirmative words completely shattered Liu Xinya's last hope.
Liu Xinya raised her hand, looking at the ethereal, somewhat transparent palm, and said sadly, "Am I destined to exist like this, neither alive nor dead?"
Qin Ming slowly shook his head: "No, it won't happen."
No way?
Liu Xinya's eyes suddenly lit up. Did Qin Ming's words mean that she still had hope?
Qin Ming stared intently into Liu Xinya's eyes and slowly said, word by word, "Soon your soul will be drawn to the underworld and then reincarnated."
"Reincarnation?" Liu Xinya repeated Qin Ming's words in a daze. She still couldn't accept the news that she was going to be reincarnated.
"Yes, reincarnation," Qin Ming said definitively. "You'd better watch yourself."
After saying that, he turned to leave.
"Wait a minute, where are you going?" Liu Xinya was really scared now. She didn't know what the underworld was like, nor did she understand what her future held. There was no one she knew except Qin Ming in front of her, but he was leaving, which made Liu Xinya panic and she subconsciously called out.
"Is something the matter?" Qin Ming stopped in his tracks but did not turn around to ask.
Liu Xinya pursed her lips and asked, "What will I do by myself if you leave?"
Qin Ming felt a sudden, sharp pain in his heart, as if a sharp blade had pierced through it and was constantly being twisted inside. It hurt terribly.
At this point, Liu Xinya's only concern is herself.
"The underworld will pull you..." Qin Ming felt as if all his strength was being drained away, and he had no strength left in his body. If it weren't for his willpower supporting him, he would have collapsed long ago.
"You can't do this," Liu Xinya complained from behind Qin Ming. "You're the one who forced my soul out of the world. You can't just abandon me."
All Qin Ming heard was Liu Xinya's complaints. He closed his eyes in anguish and remained silent.
After a short while, Qin Ming sighed, "Under Elder Li's hand, your final fate is only death. As husband and wife, I don't want you to die so painfully in the end."
Liu Xinya knew this would be the final outcome, but she still felt very uncomfortable.
"Liu Xinya, you'd better watch yourself." Qin Ming hurriedly threw out these last words before disappearing from Liu Xinya's sight so quickly that she didn't even have a chance to call out to him.
Liu Xinya opened her mouth helplessly, and finally muttered, "Why are you running so fast? I just wanted to ask what it's like to go to the underworld together?"
Liu Xinya had to admit that Qin Ming was the only person in the world who treated her the best.
Thinking about every moment spent with Qin Ming, Liu Xinya smiled and murmured softly, "Actually, you're quite good too. It wouldn't be bad to reincarnate together in the underworld. If we're together in the next life, I won't be so calculating anymore, and I can live a good life with you."
Liu Xinya made up her mind, looked up and around, but couldn't find any trace of Qin Ming, and felt a little disappointed.
