Chapter 129 “I won.”

The spiritual interference of “Tian Kui Quan Shou” cannot strongly affect reality——

An Zhizhen was naturally aware of the flaws that even an outsider like Yi Qingyan could notice.

Although mental manipulation is always effective no matter the opponent is a curse master, a ghost, or an ordinary person, and most of the time people cannot detect the weaknesses, it is impossible for a woman to turn a blind eye.

In fact, the potential of the special curse is far more than that, and she has a way to make up for it.

All the spells attracted by the spiritual star became fusion materials; two of them had the potential to reach Grade A, and the final effect was as she expected, far more powerful than when released individually.

If one were to give an evaluation of this power, An Zhizhen would call it “super-class A”…

It’s a pity that no matter how “over the limit” it is, it still cannot play a decisive role for a special-class spell-binding master.

There is an insurmountable gap between ordinary spells and special ones, which is completely different from the class difference between “A, B, C, and D”.

“Or maybe there are too few materials available for fusion.”

An Zhizhen was deeply moved. In fact, neither she nor the other party had fully utilized the potential of the special forbidden spell, and they were not even able to fully control the power.

There were so many things that were never urgent, she really needed more time——

“…”

An Zhizhen blinked.

Just now, she heard a howl coming from her heart.

That was the proof of the successive deaths of the substitutes. The murderer’s malice was like an lingering chill that permeated through different perspectives.

She placed her clones in various corners of the battlefield, including the outskirts of the battlefield; while she herself hid in the safe depths of darkness.

The darkness here does not refer to the visual “black”, but to the blind spot of existence. Before the stand died, no one in the world could detect her existence.

She should have felt that she was hiding in the safest corner of the world, but her opponent’s murderous intent lingered on her like a thorn in her side.

Every time the darkness is illuminated, a new flame is lit to replace itself, but the flame goes out too quickly –

It was not because the other party had found some clues, the reason was actually more simple: because Yi Qingyan’s mobility was too terrifying.

“Teleportation… It seems that just like the indestructible Space Slash, the energy consumption of this ability is very low.”

So it can be used uninterruptedly.

Being framed and temporarily imprisoned in a trap seemed to further arouse Yi Qingyan’s anger. Driven by this rage, she planned to kill all the substitutes in one go.

Then again, it seems that this child has a hard time controlling his murderous intent, so he has to create a goal, based on a simple sense of morality, to establish the dividing line between “killing” and “not killing”…

For an absolutely strong man like Yi Qingyan who possesses overwhelming power, this boundary is undoubtedly fragile and can be easily crossed.

And in this already precarious situation, if she gets completely enraged, what will happen next?

……

After a few breaths, An Zhizhen, who was waiting for the substitutes to die one by one, finally waited for the arrival of the guests and was able to face Yi Qingyan again.

She opened her eyes and looked at the slender figure that suddenly appeared in front of her.

The girl’s body was covered in blood, both her own and that of the substitute; she looked a little disheveled, breathing lightly, with the smell of gunpowder on her body, and her messy hair hung down, covering her face.

But just as An Zhizhen expected, Yi Qingyan’s momentum was amazing now –

It was like all the disguises had been torn off. The outer appearance of “high school girl” that she had forced herself to put on in order to get along with the brother she loved disappeared at this moment, and the only thing left was the mighty and powerful aura like a demon falling from the sky.

Anyone can see that the person standing here is no longer a human being, but a demon with a hideous face.

Behind the delicate and slender girl, the shadow on the ground expanded endlessly, reflecting another world: there was a wailing abyss and a hell of nothingness.

But if the standing girl is the devil sent from the sky, then the black-haired woman sitting upright is the enlightened sage who remains calm in the face of the raging devil flames.

“You’ve already lost.”

Facing the condescending Yi Qingyan, the woman’s tone remained calm.

“is it?”

Yi Qingyan’s voice was hoarse, as if mocking.

“You broke free from your restraints, escaped from the explosion, fought against my mental control, killed my double… You did too many things at the same time. You are already exhausted standing in front of me. You are only one step away from being transformed into my puppet…”

An Zhizhen sighed softly.

“——So, what are you waiting for?”

The nosebleed kept dripping, and Yi Qingyan looked weaker than ever before, which seemed to prove that what An Zhizhen said was true, but the girl just wiped the blood away with a happy smile on her lips.

“I’m waiting for you to notice. Miss An, why don’t you try and see if you can still interfere with my thinking now?”

“you……”

An Zhizhen narrowed her eyes.

At this time when the two were talking, in fact, the ability of Tiankui Quanshou had already reached the point where he could completely control the other party; according to the previous progress estimate, at this time, Yi Qingyan’s entire thinking should be under his control…

But when she actually used her mental power, there was no reaction from the other side. The reaction was even weaker than the initial one, as if the mental interference that had continued until now had never existed.

As for the reason, it seems very simple:
Being face to face with each other, she could naturally feel that there was nothing under the head.

However, unless the other person is a zombie, it is impossible to communicate with others so normally without a brain——

“I can’t do it.”

Yi Qingyan’s smile became more and more wanton.

Like An Zhizhen, she doesn’t mind revealing the “secret of her magic” –

“In a pure battle of the mind, no one in this world can be your opponent… But now I will never lose again, because I have thrown my brain into another world.”

Mind control is mind control, but people only have one physical organ for thinking.

In other words, as long as there is no brain, there will be no impact.

The battle between the future Philosopher King and the Equality King is rooted in the power of two overlapping but non-intersecting worlds. The key to victory or defeat lies in this:

As long as Yi Qingyan can find An Zhizhen’s true body before the time comes and kill him physically, the winner will become the King of Equality;
On the other hand, if An Zhizhen could successfully control Yi Qingyan or turn her into an idiot before that, it would be a victory for the Philosopher King.

Despite the sheer scale of their power in their respective areas, they can only do so indirect and adversarially in various ways.

However, Yi Qingyan’s approach eliminated the possibility of interference from the other side at the source.

This may be a development that the reborn Cen Dongsheng could never have imagined in his dreams:

As an awakened person of “Infernal Hell”, Yi Qingyan was still considered by some people to be the “strongest one-on-one” ancestor after his death. He had one of the best combat talents among the group of curse masters.

This talent, which “did not exist in the previous life”, became increasingly active during the competition and struggle with the Philosopher King, and ultimately pushed Yi Qingyan to surpass herself.

Now, not only has she awakened the life-suppression barrier first, but her speed in mastering her own power is far superior to the “her” in Cen Dongsheng’s memory.

Not only the second stage of “This is the Nowhere”, Yi Qingyan even touched the invincible realm of “I am the Nowhere” – “So, I won.”

Yi Qingyan raised her finger, pointed it at An Zhizhen’s head, and made a shooting gesture.

“boom.”

She made the shape of her mouth, and the head of the woman in front of her exploded at the same time and slowly fell backwards.

*
“I won.”

Cen Dongsheng let out a light breath and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who slowly fell down and lay on his back on the ring.

This is a curse master who comes from the “Wuxiantang” and has a fox fairy enshrined in his home and uses the power of gods and monsters.

Just now, he showed in front of him the image of a demon fairy wearing a shining Taoist scarf and a red robe. It is said that this fox fairy attached to him has accumulated more than a thousand years of cultivation.

This power is extraordinary. It can allow one to fly into the sky, hide underground, and control spiritual fire.

Whether it’s the scorching demonic fire that can burn a living person into bones in the blink of an eye, or the physical fitness that is no less than that of an average A-level immortal curse master, he can be called a strong expert.

But in the end, he was still the winner, and he won without using the trump card of “Immortal Bones”.

…In fact, from Cen Dongsheng’s perspective, the other party is really quite strong, even by the standard of “eight years later”.

However, now he has surpassed that originally unattainable goal, and will not stop at this level.

Cen Dongsheng calmed down his breathing.

The scratches on his body were so deep that the bones were visible, and his internal organs were burned to charcoal.

His body was like gold and iron, strong enough to withstand high temperatures of hundreds or even thousands of degrees, but the evil fire released by the fox fairy could overcome the heat limit.

However, after the battle, these wounds recovered at an extraordinary speed.

After a while, he was standing on the ring with his naked and strong body as if nothing had happened.

Cen Dongsheng casually draped his tattered clothes over his shoulders and looked at the people surrounding the ring.

A group of sparse figures, whose faces could not be clearly seen, looked at him quietly.

Taking into account that the Heroes Soul Arena is basically in the stage of “internal trial operation” now, the people sitting below are probably from the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, and there is a high probability that they are of a high level and will become veterans in the future.

The young man raised his lips and said in a relaxed tone:

“Why, no applause for the winner?”

Cen Dongsheng’s tone was friendly, as if he was joking, but to the group of people below, it still sounded a bit embarrassing. After all, this was someone else’s territory, and he was just slapping them in the face.

But Cen Dongsheng was very confident and not afraid at all.

To decide the winner by the result in the ring was originally the suggestion made by their boss. He just accepted the invitation and took the initiative to go to someone else’s territory, which showed his sincerity.

The Heroes Soul Arena has no ability to restrict people from leaving, nor does it have the function of allowing the champion and the audience to fight across space. Even if he says something rude again, he doesn’t have to worry about being beaten up.

Unless the master of the arena, the future King of Spirits, intervenes, Cen Dongsheng knows that Zhang Shidao is not a man so narrow-minded.

Just as he was thinking this…

“Crack, snap, snap.”

Applause broke out on the silent stage.

Cen Dongsheng looked in that direction, and a vague shadow sitting on a throne appeared in the sky. Its outline was larger than that of other spectators, just like a statue sitting in a temple.

Undoubtedly, it was Zhang Shidao himself.

Seeing the leader – their boss applauding, the audience below seemed to finally react and quickly followed suit and applauded.

“Congratulations, you are the winner.”

Zhang Shidao’s voice came into his ears.

The tall figure stood up from his seat and walked down the invisible stairs step by step.

During this process, everyone around the ring bowed their heads respectfully.

Only Cen Dongsheng on the ring stood up straight, raised his head, and looked at the man calmly.

“I will keep my promise. Also, as the first outsider to win the arena of the Ten Thousand Immortals’ Assembly, your honor will be engraved on this arena, and your name will be admired by everyone who comes after you.”

Admire me? I’m afraid he is using me as a target to spur his men?
It seems that in the future, I will inevitably encounter challenges from those who are trying to wash away the shame and come from the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly…

Cen Dongsheng smiled. He didn’t care. It was a good opportunity to make himself famous.

After his rebirth, he had no intention of traveling at night in fancy clothes. In addition, Sister Zhizhen had discussed with him that he should become a famous person. Sometimes, Cen Dongsheng was just “pretending to be cool” under the order of the emperor.

“As the winner, I can help you fulfill one wish.”

Zhang Shidao’s figure walked in front of him.

“That’s not necessary.”

Cen Dongsheng waved his hand with an indifferent attitude.

Of course he wanted a reward, but what he wanted more was Sister Zhizhen’s “reward”.

Besides, what he wanted to do most now was to leave this place as soon as possible.

For some reason, Cen Dongsheng was always shrouded in uneasiness. He had this premonition before stepping onto the ring; now that the fight was over, he was even more certain that this uneasiness had nothing to do with him.

“This is a reward, and also a rule.”

Zhang Shidao said.

“I won’t break the rules I set.”

“Then I’ll leave it with you for now, and we’ll come back when we need it.”

Cen Dongsheng answered casually.

The future King of Spirits looked at him meaningfully and nodded slightly.

“it is good.”

……

Under the gaze of the members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, the man’s figure quickly disappeared from the stage.

*
The next second, Cen Dongsheng breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to reality. When he was about to report the results to Sister Zhizhen, his expression suddenly changed.

“No way……”

An Zhizhen was not at home.

At that moment, he realized that his ominous premonition had come true.
