Chapter 152: Soul fragments exposed
"What?"
The purple demon's face was filled with shock.
The soul is a recognized weakness of red-blooded people. Let alone him as a purple demon, even a soul attack performed by a blue demon can put a red-blooded person into a dazed state.
But now, the male red-blooded man in front of him didn't react at all, and even continued to rush in front of him to attack him?
Is this a mutated red-blooded person?
The purple devil's thoughts were spinning, but he did not hesitate in his actions. He instantly pulled out the big knife on his back and slashed it at the red-blooded man in front of him.
“Boom!”
The fist and the sword collided head-on.
Unrivaled power surged from the broadsword. The purple devil felt his right hand go numb, but he was able to block the attack in the end.
Just when the purple devil's face changed drastically, Jiang Heng struck out with another lightning punch, landing on the blade again.
At the first punch, Jiang Heng was affected by the soul attack. Although he acted as usual, the power of the punch was still a bit weak.
But this second punch was delivered with all his strength.
With one punch, the purple demon's sword flew away instantly, and a sharp pain spread throughout his body, causing him to lose control completely.
Not only that, in the purple devil’s horrified eyes, Jiang Heng’s third punch landed like lightning.
The purple demon didn't even see the shadow of his fist. He only felt a sharp pain all over his body and then completely lost consciousness.
What he didn't even know was that after this punch, except for his head, his body had exploded, leaving not even a trace of residue left.
“The Purple Demon is indeed powerful!”
Jiang Heng sighed with emotion, and a substantial golden sword appeared in his hand. He dug around in the head he held in his hand and took out a slightly larger magic core.
Throwing away the broken head, he continued to move forward in the direction of the light beam with Wen Qingxue who flew over.
From the outside, the light beam is at least several kilometers wide, and the huge cyclone and black curtain faintly visible in it are obviously the door to enter the secret realm.
The two of them quickly flew into the light pillar, arrived in front of the black curtain, and flew into it without hesitation.
Instant visual transformation.
Two people appeared in Tianzhu Mountain Square at the same time.
“Someone is coming out!”
“It’s Jiang Heng and Wen Qingxue from my Tianyuan Holy Land.”
“Young man, have you seen anyone else?”
Elders from several major holy places in the square gathered around, and Ambassador Sun, who was sitting cross-legged not far away, also opened his eyes.
Jiang Heng and the two looked around, and finally landed on the elder in front of them: "I didn't see anyone else. We are the only two who have broken out at the moment."
“Breakout? What’s going on?”
"It seems that several purple demons surrounded the way back. We only came back after killing one of the people who blocked the road."
Several elders sighed, but said nothing more.
Taisui Mansion's disciple selection competition has always been about life and death. Even if all the contestants died in the secret realm, the envoy would not interfere.
Everyone continued to wait.
The next day, no one else came out of the secret realm.
Sun Shangshi stood up and took down the token. The black curtain suspended in the air quickly closed, and the surrounding cyclone also quickly dissipated.
The entrance and exit to the Demon's Secret Realm disappeared.
"The time has come. The other contestants can be considered dead. Jiang Heng and Wen Qingxue from Tianyuan Holy Land, come with me."
“As for the others, go back on your own!”
Sun Shangshi said calmly.
The elders looked depressed, but they still bowed respectfully, then turned and left.
Elder Zhao and Elder Qian of Tianyuan Holy Land smiled and nodded to Jiang Heng and then flew up.
This selection competition not only represents the honor of the Holy Land, but also involves great interests.
Generally speaking.
Major Holy Lands donate massive amounts of resources to Tai Sui Mansion every year. Once a disciple in the Holy Land is elected to Tai Sui Mansion, the amount of the donation can be significantly reduced as a gift from Tai Sui Mansion to the Holy Land.
Tianyuan Holy Land, which has performed poorly for several consecutive years, has turned around this time, so the two elders are naturally happy.
Jiang Heng did not experience all of this. The only thing he felt was the cruelty of the selection competition.
Of the forty-five top geniuses, only he and Wen Qingxue died in the Demon Secret Realm. Even if they didn't have trump cards far beyond ordinary people, they might not have a chance to survive.
After taking a look at the elders who were leaving, Jiang Heng and the others followed Sun Shangshi's footsteps and arrived at a spacious house in the center of Tianzhu Mountain.
“Master! The selection competition has ended.”
Sun Shangshi bowed slightly towards the direction of the house.
"come in!"
A gentle voice sounded in the ears of the three of them.
Sun Shangshi had no intention of going in. Instead, he said to the two of them: "Go in."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Jiang Heng and Wen Qingxue looked at each other, entered the courtyard one after another, walked through the empty courtyard, and opened a wooden door.
In the dark room, a figure sat cross-legged.
The figure exudes a mysterious aura, as if it is one with the surrounding heaven and earth.
“Master of the Palace!”
Jiang Heng and the other two bowed and shouted.
The figure's eyes opened, and there was a flash of lightning in the eyes, which made people's eyes sting.
“That’s right. You were able to stand out among forty-five top talents at just a teenager’s age. After passing the selection competition, what are your names?”
The figure spoke calmly. Although it was a compliment, there was no hint of praise at all, and there was no change in tone.
“My name is Jiang Heng.”
“My name is Wen Qingxue.”
The two of them said at the same time.
It was only then that they saw the face of the palace lord clearly.
This is a middle-aged man with a rugged appearance, a Chinese character face, a lion nose and a wide mouth. He has a gentle and elegant temperament, which gives people a slight sense of contradiction.
"The general situation of Tai Sui Mansion must have been introduced to your Holy Land. Since you have passed the selection test, from today on, you will be my core disciples of Tai Sui Mansion."
As the middle-aged man spoke, he subconsciously released the power of his soul to explore the two of them.
“Soul possession?!”
Suddenly, his expression changed drastically.
For a moment, the air in the entire room surged with his thoughts, as if a strong wind was blowing. The roof flew off, the walls collapsed, and the wind howled wildly.
This is just his subconscious mind losing control.
At this time, Wen Qingxue was in her mind.
A piece of translucent crystal suddenly rotated, and a majestic soul power spread out, instantly defeating the palace master's soul power that penetrated his body.
Not only that, a massive amount of soul power instantly spread out from the crystal, turning into a translucent gorgeous dagger and flying out of Wen Qingxue's mind.
In an instant, it disappeared into the palace master’s mind.
The palace master let out a muffled groan, and his figure sitting cross-legged fell backwards.
The raging wind suddenly stopped.
“Escape!”
Xiao Lingyun's anxious voice sounded in Wen Qingxue's mind.
Jiang Heng's expression changed drastically and he looked at Wen Qingxue.
Having already known Wen Qingxue's trump cards, he naturally saw the clues.
Xiao Lingyun’s soul fragments have been exposed!
