The woods were too quiet; the sounds of the wind and cicadas seemed to have vanished.
Ancient trees reach for the sky, blocking out the sun.
Only dappled, sparse starlight shone through the branches and leaves of the trees, leaving specks of light on the ground.
It seemed extremely eerie.
Within this forest, the power of the divine soul is omnipresent!
In the eerie woods, no one noticed these details at that moment.
In front of the other four people.
Two talisman masters stood facing each other, swords drawn, each holding a talisman brush!
It was Mu Fusheng and Ning Xi!
Both of them were members of the Holy Talisman Sect, a fact well known to the other four present.
After all, the Holy Talisman Sect is a top power in the Mid-Latitude Realm.
Mu Fusheng and Ning Xi were also participants in the Ten Thousand Domains Grand Competition.
Therefore, they will all have some understanding of it, more or less.
"Aren't these two from the same clan? Why are they killing each other now?"
"I don't know, maybe they want to monopolize the inheritance realm."
"Why think so much? Their killing each other is a perfect opportunity for us, isn't it?"
now.
Ning Xi looked at Mu Fusheng and grinned maliciously, "How did you find out?"
Mu Fusheng chuckled softly and said, "I must say, after being suppressed for so long, your acting skills have certainly plummeted, haven't they?"
Ning Xi snorted coldly and said, "It seems you've already guessed the secrets of the outer city?"
After Mu Fusheng guessed the secret of the city suppressing the soul.
He was extremely cautious around everyone.
When he arrived at this secret realm of the divine soul, Ning Xi also appeared there.
Under Mu Fusheng's observation.
As expected, Ning Xi maintained his original habits and tone of voice.
However, it was extremely stiff.
Midway through, Mu Fusheng asked, "Back then, you took one of your brother's spots to enter the Holy Talisman Ancestral Land. Do you still hold a grudge?"
But Ning Xi shook his head and laughed, "We're all from the same clan, so why talk about hatred?"
Mu Fusheng nodded slightly, but it was just this one sentence that confirmed to him that Ning Xi Mu Fusheng been possessed.
This answer seems perfectly reasonable.
Even if Ning Xi himself were to answer, he might say the same thing.
However, after spending this time together, Mu Fusheng had already figured out Ning Xi's personality.
Although for the sake of the bigger picture.
Ning Xi will be tolerant.
Seeing his talent, they too would hesitate to try.
However, the resentment in one's heart will not disappear so easily.
Although he would answer that question, his expression was too natural.
Of course, even that natural expression was feigned.
After the soul entity possesses Ning Xi, it will definitely gain all of Ning Xi's memories.
After having this memory.
Ning Xi would naturally be extremely careful to avoid being discovered before his strength was fully restored.
Therefore, one would certainly be extremely careful and cautious in all one's words and actions.
When Mu Fusheng asked these questions, he already knew that Ning Xi would answer in this way.
However, the tone of voice and micro-expressions during the response are what Mu Fusheng needs to focus on.
As expected.
While being extremely cautious, Ning Xi appeared remarkably magnanimous, pretending to harbor no hatred as he uttered these words.
If it were Ning Xi himself, he would definitely have some unnatural expression or other subtle movements when saying these words.
When you have a grudge against someone.
This is inevitable.
We've arrived here.
Mu Fusheng was then able to confirm Ning Xi's identity.
However, out of caution, they did not expose it.
Instead, he held a Heavenly Lightning Escape Talisman in his right hand and a killing talisman of Earth Immortal level in his left.
At the same time, it is ready to activate the defensive talismans that cover its entire body like clothing.
He inadvertently revealed a flaw.
And it was at this moment.
Ning Xi took the bait and seized the opportunity to attack Mu Fusheng.
Mu Fusheng used some defensive talismans to resist Ning Xi's attack, and at the same time, he not only measured Ning Xi's strength after being possessed, but also whether it would remain at Ning Xi's level or something else.
In an instant, realizing that he had retained his original strength after being possessed, only his soul had become even more powerful, he retreated backward.
And that's how this scene came about.
Ning Xi looked at Mu Fusheng, his eyes filled with greed, and sneered, "Your soul is quite impressive. You've cultivated Soul Fire at this stage. Even I couldn't achieve this at your level."
"However, you are still unable to unleash the full power of the Soul Fire. You should leave it to me."
It was obvious that Ning Xi had his eye on Mu Fusheng's soul.
After the possession, the already weakened soul was further weakened after a battle with Ning Xi's soul.
There are only three ways to recover quickly.
The first option is to devour heavenly materials and earthly treasures related to the soul, or to seize treasures from the inheritance secret realm.
Secondly, one can quietly cultivate and recover, but this will take a very long time.
Third, it devours the souls of others.
Clearly, Ning Xi chose the third method when facing Mu Fusheng.
Upon hearing this, Mu Fusheng smiled faintly, "If it were your prime, perhaps I really wouldn't be able to contend with you. After all, even in your weakened state, your spiritual power is still so strong."
"It's just a pity you haven't recovered yet."
Ning Xi chuckled dismissively, "That's enough. Although you've condensed Soul Fire, I suppose you haven't figured out the correct way to use the power of the soul."
That's all.
From between Ning Xi's eyebrows, divine soul power emanated from his body!
Immediately, he used the power of his divine soul as his hand to grasp the talisman brush and began to inscribe talismans.
At the same time, the remaining strands of divine soul power transformed into sharp needles, piercing towards Mu Fusheng's crown from different directions!
Mu Fusheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
His opponent's control over his soul was indeed stronger than his.
It can control the inscription of talismans while simultaneously launching attacks.
Seeing this, Mu Fusheng dared not be careless. He unleashed his divine soul power, forming a divine soul barrier around himself.
Immediately, defensive talismans were activated, and layers of lightning shields covered Mu Fusheng's surroundings!
Ning Xi chuckled softly, "You've prepared quite a few defensive talismans, but quantity isn't the key to victory."
"Moreover, didn't your master teach you that non-special talismans are unable to resist the soul?"
But.
Just as those thin needles were about to pierce the lightning shield...
But you can't pass through directly!
Instead, it was blocked by the lightning shield!
Ning Xi was slightly taken aback upon seeing this.
Immediately, they noticed that divine soul power was covering the lightning shield!
Mu Fusheng laughed and said, "Before entering Severed Soul City, I considered the possibility of trials in the inheritance secret realm that might involve attacks using divine soul power, so I wrote some talismans to counteract divine soul power. That shouldn't be too much to ask, right?"
P. S.: Six chapters are really too much for me == Let's discuss it and do it in batches. Three chapters today, four tomorrow, and four the day after. Wouldn't that be wonderful? Hehe.
