Shi Nian began to tremble, and flames began to appear on his body.
This is not an illusion, but real flames.
This wasn't something Shi Nian saw, but rather something Wang Sheng, the user of the Soul Skill, perceived as a real flame.
This is the terrifying aspect of Wang Sheng's [Illusion, Five Senses of Scorching Heat ] Soul Skill.
It makes you feel like you're surrounded by flames, and once you're deeply immersed in it, you truly believe you're in the fire.
In the real world, his body would also continuously rise in temperature and start burning.
This was the first time Wang Sheng had used his full power, and he had to admit he was very satisfied with its strength.
Within the illusion.
Shi Nian burst into maniacal laughter. "Hahahaha, I underestimated you! I never imagined that after a lifetime of playing with eagles, I'd end up having my eyes pecked out by one. Ah..."
The immense pain caused him to let out a bloodcurdling scream.
"Even if I wanted to, I would take you with me to hell... I underestimated you, but haven't you underestimated me too? Hahaha!"
"Um?"
Wang Sheng suddenly felt that his surroundings had changed once again.
His expression changed drastically; he had thought that after his [Illusion, Five Senses of Scorching Heat ] Soul Skill was unleashed...
He had already shattered the Residual Dream of that Shi Nian!
Now it seems that what Shi Nian said was true; I underestimated him!
"Whoosh!"
An old Daoist priest with a cow-nose nose, dressed in a Daoist robe, appeared in front of Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng exclaimed in surprise, " Daoist Xuancheng!"
Shaolin Wudang are undoubtedly the pinnacles of the martial arts world.
This Daoist Xuancheng was Wang Sheng's lifelong rival, yet also a friend.
However, it was also his lifelong regret, and he felt deeply guilty towards Daoist Xuancheng.
Because, during their final duel, Wang Sheng did not stop and pointed a finger at Daoist Xuancheng's temple.
The temples are a vital point, and Wudang, unlike Shaolin, doesn't have external martial arts like Iron Cloth Shirt and Golden Bell Shield, so how could they withstand that?
He died on the spot.
Daoist Xuancheng spoke up, " Yuankong, today is our third duel! It's time for us to settle this once and for all!"
Yuankong was the Dharma name of Wang Sheng in his previous life.
The two have competed three times in total, with each winning one of the first two matches.
The three agreed to compete in three rounds, with the winner being the one who wins two rounds.
This was also the "battle of life and death." It was his biggest psychological weakness in his previous life.
Just as Shi Nian Nianming believed it was an illusion, Wang Sheng still fell into it.
He glanced at himself, noting that he was dressed as a Shaolin monk. The surrounding scenery also changed; a palace came into view.
This is Shaolin Temple, perched on a high slope not far away.
The area below was filled with a large number of monks, Daoists, and people from other sects.
They came here to witness the birth of the world's first person.
Wang Sheng's hands trembled slightly!
Do we have to go through this again?
Looking at the Daoist Xuancheng before him, Wang Sheng's hands trembled, and his heart trembled as well.
At that moment, two figures appeared.
Wang Sheng murmured, " Mei'er, Jinghan!"
No, I can't stay here. I have to get out. Jinghan is waiting for me to come back! Mei'er is waiting for me to rescue her!
However... looking at Daoist Xuancheng, Wang Sheng still hesitated.
He understood that to get out, he had to overcome the mental hurdle he couldn't get past.
"Should we kill him again?"
Wang Sheng had no time to think, because at this moment, Daoist Xuancheng made a move and used the Taiyi Five Elements Fist, a Wudang art known for its offensive capabilities!
He aimed straight for Wang Sheng's chest.
" Golden Bell Shield!"
Martial arts had penetrated Wang Sheng's very bones. Faced with Daoist Xuancheng's attack, Wang Sheng reacted instinctively.
The two exchanged blows for over a hundred moves, their techniques mirroring the epic battle between them in their previous life.
Even the smallest move remained unchanged.
However, after a hundred moves, Daoist Xuancheng's weakness appeared.
If Wang Sheng makes a move, he will surely win, but Daoist Xuancheng will also surely die.
In an instant, the entire world seemed to freeze in time, including Wang Sheng and Daoist Xuancheng.
It's like pressing the pause button.
Time passed slowly, but Wang Sheng couldn't tell how much time had gone by—it might have been a minute, an hour, or a day.
"I'm sorry, Xuancheng!"
Wang Sheng finally made his move, because he knew that if he didn't, he would be stuck in this moment forever and would never be able to get out.
Until death!
Great Vajra Finger!
"Brush!"
As expected, just like in his previous life, it pierced directly through Daoist Xuancheng's temple, and blood flowed from his fingertips.
Wang Sheng was trembling all over!
Unexpectedly, Daoist Xuancheng did not fall down, but looked at him calmly.
The scene was extremely bizarre!
Wang Sheng, however, felt a sense of peace.
Daoist Xuancheng, " Yuankong should let go. Fists and kicks have no eyes; when fighting, one should be prepared to die. I think you have this profound understanding too!"
"Since you have it, why don't I have it too?"
"I still think the old Daoist priest is inferior to you!"
After speaking, Daoist Xuancheng's figure transformed into specks of starlight and dissipated.
"Tch, I actually got lectured by this old Daoist priest!"
"Hehe, hahaha!"
Wang Sheng burst into laughter, but his eyes were already wet with tears.
In reality, Wang Sheng and Shi Nian opened their eyes almost simultaneously.
Wang Sheng: "You're still alive!"
Looking at Shi Nian, whose entire body was burned beyond recognition, Wang Sheng Shengzhen could hardly believe it.
"Cough cough... I didn't expect to survive either!" Shi Nian smiled, but Wang Sheng couldn't tell because his entire face was charred black and still smoking, making it impossible to discern any expression.
"However, what surprises me even more is that you actually emerged from my Seventh Soul Skill, Nightmare."
Upon hearing this, Wang Sheng was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, " The Seventh Soul Skill, Nightmare? So, it's no longer Residual Dream? No wonder it felt so different; one merely alters the surrounding environment, while the other strikes directly at the heart."
Shi Nian stared at Wang Sheng with eyes filled with murderous intent and sneered, "You can still laugh?"
Wang Sheng: "Why can't I laugh?"
"Why? Although I don't know how you broke my Seventh Soul Skill, Nightmare, my level 72 Soul Power is real."
"No matter what methods you use, you cannot change this. The fact that I didn't die in your illusion— the Five Senses of Scorching Heat —predetermines your demise!"
"Because in reality, neither your defenses nor mine can be broken."
Wang Sheng laughed, then glanced disdainfully at Shi Nian, who was no longer recognizable as a human, and said, "Something like this?"
Shi Nian's body stiffened; indeed, he had already suffered severe injuries from Wang Sheng's [Illusion- Five Senses of Scorching Heat ]. He couldn't possibly unleash his full strength!
"That's enough to deal with you!"
