'But why isn't he a dead ghost, but a life spirit? A so-called life spirit is a soul that's gone to be reincarnated, or… Ma Kai isn't dead! His soul has just left his body!'
That's why he was a life spirit, and why the seal Mr. Hei had placed on him was completely useless! He'd only pretended to be affected earlier to set up this sneak attack. 'How did he manage that? The nerve of him! Instead of taking the opportunity to escape, he's actually attacking!'
"So you figured it out? Too bad it's useless!" Ma Kai sneered, his hands clawing desperately, trying to dig into Mr. Hei's body. "I don't know if villains die from monologuing, but I know for sure that heroes die from being soft-hearted. Once I take out your Primordial Spirit, will I become a god? See? Becoming a god isn't so hard. After that, I'll absorb that little bird's demonic essence and kill the woman on the roof to refine her into a shikigami. Won't that be wonderful!"
