The Might of a Nascent Soul, He Backed Down!
"Such powerful Divine Sense..."
Gu Xuanzhen's expression remained unchanged, but he was secretly astonished, even though his combat strength was now less than one-tenth of what it used to be...
That's not something a mere Golden Core cultivator can pull off a staged accident!
But the person before me—
This unexpected threat was beyond his expectations, and his fingers trembled slightly...
That was an instinctive feeling of fear!
And then there was that aura that seemed to connect to the great power of the Great Dao...
He couldn't be mistaken; that was the resonance of the Great Dao that only Innate Spirit Physique could manifest. The Qin Lu before him was actually a monster with an Innate Spirit Physique!
"Like Old Monster Ye from the Three Truths Ancient Kingdom, a person with Innate Spirit Physique..."
"Genius... no, he should be called a monster!"
"A peerless prodigy!"
Gu Xuanzhen's vigilance towards Qin Lu suddenly increased several times over; his intuition told him that perhaps he could kill the man before him...
However, there is a nearly 30% chance that he will be replaced by Qin Lu!
Even the weakest Nascent Soul is still Nascent Soul. How could a mere Golden Core cultivator possess the ability to kill him...?
Such combat prowess was something Gu Xuanzhen had never seen before in his entire life!
With three paths cultivated simultaneously, and having also comprehended the Sword Intent, coupled with Innate Spirit Physique and three top-tier Law Treasure, it's no wonder he could unify the Eight Seas...
Truly extraordinary!
Before Gu Xuanzhen could even explain, a mysterious force of Dao Law acted upon his Nascent Soul, causing it to Nascent Soul...
Immediately, his emotions gradually turned to fear!
Just now, he had instinctively felt a slight fear, however faint and fleeting, but it still opened a gap for the Soul Poison...
The Seven Emotions Soul Poison, are now afflicting me!
The fear will only continue to grow until it becomes uncontrollable...
It drove them to utter extremes!
Gu Xuanzhen sensed something was wrong almost immediately...
How could a Nascent Soul Cultivator like him truly fear a Golden Core cultivator? But the power of the Dao Law is unfathomable...
For a moment, he was unable to eliminate this strange Dao Law!
Having no other choice, he hardened his resolve, forcibly forced the contaminated areas together, and then decisively cut off that part, sacrificing the pawn to save the king...
Then--
Sword Heart is invincible, suppressing all emotions and desires, with only the sword as the sole focus of the heart!
While this avoided the risks, it also weakened Gu Xuanzhen further, causing his already increasingly transparent Nascent Soul to...
Furthermore, this act of severing one's own arm caused countless dense cracks to appear on the Nascent Soul...
His Nascent Soul was already showing signs of disintegration!
Damn it!
"What kind of tactic is this?!"
Gu Xuanzhen's heart sank. Seeing Qin Lu rushing forward, looking as if he wanted to die with him, he had no choice but to sacrifice his body...
He separated his Nascent Soul from Qin Wu's physical body, and then mobilized the power of the Great Dao to fight the enemy!
"Stop!"
"Young friend, I mean you no harm!"
"This child's soul has only been temporarily sealed by me; his life is not in danger. We are both Human Race, so let's talk this out!"
Gu Xuanzhen gave in.
I originally intended to act like a senior expert, using both kindness and force to control the Great Qin...
But unexpectedly, they encountered such a reckless and daring man who, knowing he was Nascent Soul, still dared to attack directly, yet possessed such bizarre abilities...
Before you know it, you've fallen into their trap!
He really suffered a significant loss. If the fight had continued, even if he killed Qin Lu, his Nascent Soul would likely have collapsed...
Upon hearing this—
Qin Lu's offensive continued unabated. After reclaiming Qin Wu's physical body, he unleashed a Heaven-Slaying Sword strike at Gu Xuanzhen. Then, his figure became ethereal, enveloped by Haiyue...
Then he fled towards Qin Island!
Clearly, this desperate act was a pretense; Qin Lu's true intention was to take the opportunity to escape...
The Seven Emotions Soul Poison can only be used once. Once the opponent is on guard, this move becomes less effective. Without this trump card...
Qin Lu wouldn't be foolish enough to risk his life against the other side!
Now that the goal has been achieved, there's naturally no need to get entangled with the other party. As long as we can escape, this revenge will come sooner or later...
Even Qin Lu, still not entirely at ease, released the Soul Frost Ghost King and the Seven Emotions Ghost Generals to stay behind and cover for the retreat...
Even if I die...
As long as the Heaven Burial remains intact, these ghosts can be reconstituted into ghostly bodies with just a little more time, making them perfect substitutes...
Gu Xuanzhen, on the other hand, was completely numb.
A dignified Nascent Soul True Lord was actually toyed with by a Golden Core cultivator...
But he dared not rashly pursue Qin Lu, for if that strange ability were to occur again, Qin Lu probably wouldn't even need to lift a finger...
He himself is about to collapse and perish!
"Tsk~"
"That cunning kid really has a lot of tricks up his sleeve!"
Although Gu Xuanzhen's words were mildly angry, they contained more admiration than anger. The Human Race of the Northern Nether Domain had not produced such a prodigy in a long time!
Just those few brief moments --
From intimidation to covert action, it was all done in one smooth motion. This underhanded tactic clearly shows a lot of experience, and the perpetrator possesses an extremely high level of sensitivity to the soul...
In just a moment of eye contact with him, I could already tell his true condition!
Such methods and mindset are truly rare!
Those who haven't experienced mountains of corpses and seas of blood, those who have fought their way through, can never truly understand Qin Lu's extreme coldness...
She seemed desperate to save her son, but her mind was in turmoil.
But in reality, these were all illusions; his true killing move was that strange power of Dao Law, intended to annihilate the Nascent Soul...
All I can say is, brilliant!
Right now, facing Qin Lu's all-encompassing Heaven-Opening Sword...
Gu Xuanzhen chuckled, clearly getting serious. His Nascent Soul pupils burst with spiritual light, and with a flick of his finger, he transformed Sword Qi into threads!
Countless threads coiled around it, and with just a gentle tear, the Heaven-Opening Sword-Ray was instantly shattered, turning into countless fragments that ultimately vanished without a trace...
The next moment--
The Soul Frost Ghost King unleashed a spear strike, accompanied by ice and snow. The extreme cold capable of freezing the very soul was, in Gu Xuanzhen's eyes, nothing more than a trivial skill...
He chuckled softly and pressed a finger against the tip of the gun!
Then, with a slight exertion, his natal ghost weapon, the Frost Extreme Great Spear, shattered inch by inch...
The backlash from the Dao Law, coupled with the finger strike containing Endless Sword Dao power, resulted in the Soul Frost Ghost King being utterly crushed in an instant!
The soul was twisted, and then with a "bang," it dissipated into countless ghostly wisps...
On the other side--
The Seven Emotions Ghost Generals merged into one, and the moment the Seven Emotions Ghost King appeared, Gu Xuanzhen sensed that strange power of the Dao Law...
"The power of the Seven Emotions?"
"It doesn't quite feel like it; it's more like a method using Poison Dao..."
"A combined ability of the Seven Emotions and the Poison Dao?"
"Using the Seven Emotions as a medium, and in the form of poison, to directly erode the cultivator's soul?"
"Truly insidious! A true genius!"
Gu Xuanzhen, relying solely on his senses, almost deduced Qin Lu's abilities, not only impressed by Qin Lu's ingenious ideas...
He uttered a word of praise, though it was harsh, but to receive such a venomous compliment from a Nascent Soul Cultivator was an honor in itself!
However, this Seven Emotions Ghost King, compared to Qin Lu's true form...
That's a huge difference!
Gu Xuanzhen condensed sword threads at his fingertips, and with a wave of his small hand, the Seven Emotions Ghost King was instantly annihilated by countless sword threads, turning into a wisp of ghostly energy and dissipating...
Gu Xuanzhen himself was becoming increasingly weak.
"I need to find a body to possess quickly, or it'll be all over..."
