Chapter 49 – Visit the Pioneer
The technique John used was the reverse version of the legendary Nine Restoring Yang Needles.
Ordinarily, this needle method was designed to save patients on the brink of death by restoring their Yang energy—bringing them back from the edge of collapse and even brushing against the boundary between life and death.
But when reversed?
It became a terrifying technique used for soul transfer.
Each insertion became not an act of salvation—but one of torment. It was a cruel art, one that tortured both the body and the soul.
When all twelve needles were reversed, even the strongest of men would be scared out of their wits.
John held Quin down with one hand, deftly inserting needles with the other. In the blink of an eye, the tenth needle struck home.
Quin's body convulsed violently.
The pain didn't just tear through his flesh—it ravaged his soul. It felt as though the needles were piercing straight into his brain, twisting through his consciousness like icy daggers.
The crowd stood paralyzed in shock.
Part of their disbelief stemmed from John's sheer ruthlessness. But more than that, they were stunned by the existence of a tenth needle in the Nine Restoring Yang Needles.
