The aftermath of the terrifying golden-red conflict slowly dissipated, and the flying stone dust slowly settled.
On the altar, both of them were injured.
Tang San slid back several feet in the air, and Eight Spider Lances barely managed to stabilize his unbalanced figure when he reached the ground. His chest surged, and a mouthful of scarlet blood spurted out.
The origins of the several Soul Ring that exploded in the body became increasingly chaotic, and the backlash of Ring Explosion ravaged the limbs and bones in advance.
He lowered his head and stared at the bloody jade-like Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, his eyes full of disbelief.
He has been practicing for two years since Slaughter City, soaked in endless killing violence, and cultivated Divine Slaughter's Domain, and even inherited Asura God Trial.
I thought that there was no other opponent at the same level, even if I faced Soul Saint, I could crush him and win.
But just now, Sky-Piercing Strike, who had spent all his energy, was actually suppressed from the front and disintegrated by Holy Light Ashfire.
Tang San tightened his grip on the hammer handle, unwilling to accumulate strength again, and wanted to attack again.
But the moment he mobilized the remaining murderous aura in his body, an extreme feeling of emptiness and emptiness suddenly engulfed his whole body.
The galloping power of killing broke out of thin air, and the surging thoughts of killing seemed to fall into a bottomless void, with nowhere to land and nowhere Rooting.
He suddenly froze in place.
At this moment, Tang San suddenly understood.
He indeed walked out of Slaughter City and inherited the killing method of Asura. However, during the two years of purgatory, he was only passively killed and never actively witnessed the killing.
He didn't kill enough, he didn't have enough experience, and he wasn't tempered enough by killing in the real world.
His desire to kill is incomplete and empty.
The seemingly violent aura of Asura is just a superficial shell forced by the killing environment, and has not truly transformed into a complete one.
This is also the fundamental reason why he was restrained by Chen Jieqi Holy Light today, his moves were broken down layer by layer, and he was at a disadvantage.
The fighting spirit fell off a cliff in an instant, and most of the murderous violence faded away on its own.
Tang San stood there, lost in silence.
Not far away, Chen Jieqi stood up with his sword in hand, raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, the Holy Light Power accumulated in his body was almost empty, the golden armor's sacred flame was dim, and the golden wings also drooped slightly.
Within Soul Ring, Sheng Hui's voice sounded slowly with extreme fear:
"Fortunately... fortunately Xiao Wu is safe and sound."
Chen Jieqi was deeply shocked in his heart and agreed with it extremely.
The state in which Tang San went berserk just now was too terrifying.
Just because the murderous heart is incomplete and the killing path is not yet complete, such terrifying destructive power has already been unleashed.
He was forced to use up all his cards Sixth Soul Ring and the dual form Ashen Awakening before he could barely compete.
If Xiao Wu among Xingdou really encounters an accident, if Tang San's last trace of tenderness and last trace of human ties is cut off,
Then this young man will no longer have any shackles and no bottom line.
He will completely complete the heart of killing, perfect the Asura way of killing, annihilate all humanity, and turn into the pure and ruthless Asura God of Killing.
Until then, the Holy Light will be difficult to cross and no one can stop it.
As soon as I thought of this, Chen Jieqi felt a chill in his heart.
At this moment, there was a roar and explosion in the distance.
A fierce, domineering but swift black shadow came on the air, carrying a strong wind, and landed in front of the altar with a crash.
It's Tang Hao.
He galloped all the way, full of anxiety and rage, fearing that his son would be severely injured by evil forces and Chen Jieqi would take the opportunity to suppress him.
But as soon as he landed, his eyes scanned the whole place. The messy altar, the dissipated murderous intent, the two injured people, and the remaining restraining holy light.
He could see it clearly. Chen Jieqi kept his hand in the whole process and clicked until the end, and never used the killing power.
From the beginning to the end, this was just an extreme competition between the two young men. There was no mortal hatred or vicious rivalry.
The overwhelming anger in my heart disappeared instantly.
Tang Hao's expression returned to calm, he did not attack or question, he just looked at Tang San who was standing absentmindedly, and said in a deep voice:
"Mistress, that's enough, stop."
Tang San was deeply in the midst of self-enlightenment at this moment. He knew his own shortcomings and suppressed all the anger in his heart. He silently put away Clear Sky Hammer and the bloody Eight Spider Lances, and nodded gently.
He no longer argued or tried to be strong. Today's battle allowed him to completely see his flaws.
He has just started to learn the art of killing, and his heart to kill is still an empty shell.
Tang Hao glanced at Chen Jieqi beside him. He had an old grudge in his heart, but he had no intention of letting it out at this moment. He just raised his hand and turned around to leave with Tang San.
The father and son walked out of the entrance of the Ashen Territory valley. The night wind filled their robes, carrying the moist atmosphere of the mountains and forests.
Tang Hao walked in front and was silent for a long time.
"What did you find just now?" he asked, his voice hoarse.
Tang San lowered his head. "My desire to kill is incomplete. I don't kill enough."
Tang Hao stopped and turned to look at him.
"Slaughter City, how many people have you killed in the past two years?"
"A few hundred."
"A few hundred." Tang Hao repeated,
"Your father stayed there for a year and killed more than a thousand people. Do you think Divine Slaughter's Domain can be obtained by lying down?"
Tang San Clenched his fists.
"When you came out of it, I thought you were ready." Tang Hao's voice slowed down.
"Now it seems that it's still far away. You have too much in your heart, Xiao Wu, hatred, unwillingness, and wanting to prove yourself. These things will all block your attack."
Tang San raised his head. "What should we do?"
Tang Hao looked at him for a long time.
"Go out. Stop hiding in the mountains. There are more Soul Masters on the mainland who are stronger than you, Evil Soul Master, Spirit Hall, and Soul Master overseas.
Go find them and kill them until your heart becomes cold, so cold that you don't care about anything except the knife."
Tang San was silent for a moment. "What if I can't be killed?"
"Then we can only keep him down forever." Tang Hao turned around and continued walking.
"As long as you are willing to do it, it doesn't matter."
Tang San followed without saying anything. The two of them disappeared into the moonlight one after the other.
Ashen Territory.
Chen Jieqi stood there, looking at the shattered square.
The moonlight shines on the gravel and cracked bluestone on the ground, making his shadow very long.
Dugu Yan walked out of the chapel, carrying a roll of bandages in her hand. She walked up to Chen Jieqi and looked him up and down.
"Where's the injury?"
"Hand." Chen Jieqi stretched out his right arm, and his sleeve was torn open by the sword energy. There was a black burn mark on his forearm, which was the trace of Clear Sky Hammer's hammer light.
Dugu Yan said nothing, lowered his head and bandaged him.
With quick and gentle movements, the bandage was wrapped twice and tied into a knot.
"Will he come again?"
"Yes." Chen Jieqi said, "But not now."
Dugu Yan raised his head and looked at him.
"Are you afraid of him?"
"Afraid." Chen Jieqi did not deny it. "When he turns into that thing, no one can stop him."
Dugu Yan was silent for a moment, put away the bandage, turned around and walked towards the chapel. After walking a few steps, he stopped.
"That's why you didn't fight back?"
Chen Jieqi has no answer.
Dugu Yan didn't ask any questions, pushed the door open and went in.
Cangmang Mountain Range deep, Evil Soul Master stronghold.
The black-robed master stood on the black stone altar, with a gray-black flame dancing on his fingertips.
In the void in front of him, a mirror made of black mist reflected the shattered square of Ashen Territory, the dissipated scarlet clouds, and the back of the silver-haired boy in the moonlight.
"The Successor of Light." His voice was low, "The seed of Asura."
The man in gray robe next to him knelt on the ground. "Sir, when will we take action?"
The black-robed master looked back, gray-black flames beating in his palms.
"There's no rush. Let them play first. The more you play, the clearer your trump cards will be. Wait for the day when Stone Gate opens, and we'll collect them together."
The man in gray robe did not dare to ask any more questions.
The black mist mirror shattered and turned into countless tiny points of light that dispersed in the night wind.
A duel between Asura and the Holy Light, which affected the entire Heaven Dou pattern, finally ended quietly with Tang San's enlightenment and peace.
