The massive figure that appeared before Kurofuji Souma was the Ice Soul Giant Bear summoned by Ling Tian.
Ling Tian had already summoned the Ice Soul Giant Bear, and this fellow had single-handedly dispatched the remaining God-Bestowed Warriors with one swipe each.
However, the visibility at night was very poor, and the Ice Soul Giant Bear's color was no different from the snow. Monk Jie Nu and Ma Hu, who were fully focused on the fight, had not noticed its existence.
Kurofuji Souma’s head collided with the Ice Soul Giant Bear, and he cried out in pain.
He turned around, intending to flee, but at that moment, a chill suddenly swept up from the ground. Immediately after, Kurofuji watched with his own eyes as his lower body was frozen by ice.
Before he could even figure out what was happening, the massive figure of the Ice Soul Giant Bear vanished from his sight.
Just then, Monk Jie Nu, carrying his Thunder God Hammer and Demon Subduing Staff, arrived. The moonlight shone upon the monk, truly making him appear like a Vajra subduing demons.
Monk Jie Nu strode forward, raising the hammer in his hand, ready to give the fellow a swift end. At that very moment, Ling Tian suddenly shouted, "Second Master, stop!"
Following that, the sound of air being broken by an object was heard. Two hard, small snowballs shot out from dozens of meters away, hitting Kurofuji Souma directly.
Despair instantly flickered in Kurofuji Souma's eyes. Earlier, he had discovered that his lower body was frozen, and escaping was harder than ascending to heaven. Thus, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind to commit suicide!
These members of the Black Dragon Group had undergone rigorous training since childhood and were loyal to the organization. As part of their training, there were specific requirements: if they fell into the hands of the enemy, they must commit suicide, sacrificing themselves to protect the organization's secrets.
In his left posterior molar, there was a false tooth. Inside this false tooth was a capsule, and inside the capsule was the highly toxic drug potassium cyanide.
It could be said that this kind of equipment had a history of nearly a hundred years and was widely used by various spies and agents.
Potassium cyanide is a highly toxic substance. Ingesting even a small amount can cause rapid death within minutes. Unless an antidote is injected directly into the heart within tens of seconds of poisoning, there is no hope of recovery.
It was precisely due to the lethality and extremely fast onset of potassium cyanide that it gained favor.
Those agents would replace their teeth with false ones, and when on a mission, they would place the capsule containing potassium cyanide inside the false tooth. If anything went wrong, they would immediately bite down and shatter the capsule within the false tooth, instantly perishing.
Of course, in the early years, due to inadequate craftsmanship, some unfortunate individuals had accidentally bitten through the capsules and poisoned themselves to death.
Just now, Kurofuji Souma was about to bite down on the capsule to meet Amaterasu Omikami, but before he could act, several snowballs hit his body. He immediately felt as if he had lost control of his body. His mind was still clear, and he knew what he wanted to do, but his body simply wouldn't obey, as if his entire body had been paralyzed.
Monk Jie Nu looked up and saw the spirited Ling Tian and the dejected, crestfallen Ma Hu.
"Second Master, your disciple greets you!"
"Amitabha, Ling Tian, you finally deigned to return. You are truly something, abandoning three beautiful wives here and not caring for them!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Tian could only offer a wry smile repeatedly.
"Master, please stop teasing me. This fellow is the leader of those people. He should know many things. Hand him over to me; I want to dig out some information from his brain!
Also, please find some people to take these corpses back to the Taoist temple. Some of the individuals who came this time seem unusual; I need to study them!"
"Alright, let's do it that way. Ma Hu, hurry back and call for people... Huh, what's wrong with you? You look so dejected!"
Ling Tian chuckled upon hearing this, "It's nothing. Ma Hu's strength was just severely beaten down by reality."
"That's fine. This fellow's tail has been sticking up into the sky. I'll go back and give him a good training session."
Hearing this, Ma Hu almost shed tears. He thought, who exactly was the senior disciple? But then he thought again, Ling Tian was their senior disciple and also Monk Jie Nu's direct disciple.
After Monk Jie Nu, Ma Hu, and the others left, Ling Tian walked forward and saw Kurofuji Souma, who was still clinging to life.
"I don't know where you came from, but I guess you might be from the Black Dragon Group!
I know you won't say anything, but it doesn't matter. I'll know the truth soon..."
And so, under Kurofuji Souma's terrified gaze, Ling Tian extended his hand and placed his palm on Kurofuji Souma's head.
The next moment, Kurofuji Souma felt as if his soul had left his body. His soul was now in another space, and before him was a giant furnace!
Before Kurofuji Souma could even comprehend what was happening, his soul was sucked into this giant furnace.
The next moment, he knew nothing more!
More than an hour later, it was already past midnight. These more than 20 corpses were carried to the courtyard of the Taoist temple. Ling Tian raised his hand and incinerated the more than 10 ordinary people's corpses completely, leaving no trace behind. The remaining ones were the corpses of the God-Bestowed Warriors.
By this time, Ling Tian had already digested all of Kurofuji Souma's memories obtained through the Soul Refining Furnace.
When Ling Tian stepped into the Taoist temple, Wang Bingxia and the others were very excited. Ling Tian also couldn't hide his excitement at their reunion, but he still rationally restrained his emotions and asked the three girls to rest first.
Although the three girls wished they could cling to Ling Tian immediately, they were not people who didn't know the importance of things and knew that Ling Tian had important matters to attend to.
After Ling Tian paid his respects to his masters and Old Master Wang Fengsong, Old Master Wang went back to rest. Only Ling Tian, his masters, and some core disciples of the Taoist temple remained.
"Ling Tian, I believe you must know the truth from those people now, right?" Dao Yuan Immortal Master said with a smile, knowing his disciple's abilities.
Ling Tian nodded, "Yes, Master. These people are members of Japan's Black Dragon Group. Their purpose for coming was to kidnap Bingxia. These scoundrels truly deserve to be killed."
Ling Tian was somewhat frustrated. His wife was practically like Tang Monk's flesh; these Japanese people were rushing forward one after another.
However, Kurofuji Souma was a high-ranking member of the Black Dragon Group. He possessed a lot of information, including information about the employer. Through Kurofuji Souma's cognition, Ling Tian learned about the mastermind behind the incident – it turned out to be Kawashima Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
Ling Tian let out a cold laugh. Every wrong has its cause, and every debt has its owner. Since the Kawashima Consortium dared to covet his wife, they would have to pay the price!
