Once the Rabbit Is Dead, the Hunting Dog Is Cooked

Huang Daoxian's schemes were thwarted at Dongshan, and ultimately, he also failed at Dongshan.

Aside from the somewhat bewildered foreign friends, many of the internal participants inevitably had mixed feelings.

The wounded and sick continued to be sent to Western Capital City, and even Zhang Manqian, Feng Xiangyu, and others were no exception.

"Did Huang control Korando to devour Luo Zhong's remains, which then triggered Huang Daoxian's control of Korando to flee?"

"That's very likely!"

The number of people who could stay in Dongshan to clean up the mess was extremely limited, including Zhang Xuezhou, Ren Anran, and Ren Yisheng, who had not been injured, as well as Wang Haoran, who rushed over from Western Capital City.

Compared to Ren Anran, who participated in the entire process, and Ren Yisheng, who participated in nearly half of the competition, Wang Haoran arrived a bit late and could only inquire about the relevant information.

"The vitality of these fireball creatures is terrifyingly tenacious!"

What is seen on the monitor is one situation, but what actually happens in combat is another.

Some things would astonish even Ren Yisheng, making one realize the coexistence of diversity and complexity in living beings, and that cultivation has no end.

"Can Montessori find traces of life? Can he find the traces of Zodiac's life?"

Although Huang Daoxian suffered a crushing defeat that made it difficult for him to recover, his abilities are undoubtedly intriguing, especially given the significant connection between Luo Zhong and Huang Daoxian.

Looking at the dog skin that Zhang Xuezhou had peeled off, and the eight blackish-purple chips, Ren Yisheng was also quite interested in learning more about it.

"I spoke with Lord Arthur for a while to see if there would be any opportunities for further learning!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

Everyone has their own area of expertise, and he and Ren Yisheng, among others, were indeed not good at searching for traces of life.

Only by finding Montes Arthur to create a similar mental fighting technique, or by knowing the compilation method of the other party's mental fighting technique, and then seeking to integrate it into their own mental fighting technique, can they possibly replicate it.

As his eyes swept over the dog skin and the chip, Zhang Xuezhou's pupils contracted slightly, and memories of his fight with Huang Daoxian flooded his mind.

What was a moment of spiritual devastation for Ren Yisheng and others was not a short time for Zhang Xuezhou.

His hand swayed back and forth several times unconsciously, but that stagnant feeling of speed did not reappear.

The time frame wasn't actually very long; Zhang Xuezhou had experienced both fast and slow conditions once before on an ocean-going freighter.

His thinking and speed became extraordinary in a mere instant.

For him personally, time seemed to freeze at that moment, and Zhang Xuezhou was a free person within that frozen time.

This is not a mental illusion, but rather a kind of control similar to that in the definition of a sequence.

Zhang Xuezhou was unsure whether this ability originated from himself or from Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon; it was difficult to determine the source of the ability.

He couldn't say this ability wasn't strong, since it was indeed quite good, but he also couldn't say it was very strong. For example, if Zhou Xin, Seventh Sequence, stood in front of him, even if Zhou Xin lacked reaction time for a brief moment while in control, Zhang Xuezhou would find it difficult to use that time to defeat him. At most, he could only use that gap to avoid the opponent's attacks.

Zhang Xuezhou's focus is not on the control and use of his abilities. If the abilities belong to him, Zhang Xuezhou believes they cannot be lost suddenly. He will seek them out, but he will not force them.

What truly distracted Zhang Xuezhou was the clash between Huang Daoxian and the interplay between fast and slow movements.

At the moment Huang Daoxian pierced through the spiritual destruction impact, as if from the collision of their spirits, everything froze for Zhang Xuezhou.

He could see every direction of the spiritual destructive impact, the almost frozen expressions on everyone's faces, and the instantaneous resistance of Ren Yisheng and others who gathered their spiritual strength.

Apart from Feng Ziqiang, everyone who ganged up on Huang Daoxian possessed extremely strong mental strength.

Ren Yisheng is a top-tier spiritual Sequence Holder in the Scarlet Alliance State. Ren Anran, having obtained the Xuanqi Heavy Armor, seems unafraid of non-material attacks such as mental attacks. Zhang Manqian is protected by Huang. Ning Que, relying on Luo Zhong's inheritance, possesses a certain degree of resistance.

Judging from the range of Ren Yisheng's spiritual power, even Feng Ziqiang might be able to avoid this impact.

Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou the situation of everyone, and he also saw everything that happened when Huang Daoxian's spirit was pierced.

Zhang Xuezhou could see Huang Daoxian's ability released in an instant, and he could also see the various chips that Huang Daoxian was swallowing and spitting out from the dog's mouth.

Like demon cores, Huang Daoxian's crystal chips spun and spit out of the dog's mouth.

This prompted Zhang Xuezhou to instantly reach out and grasp the chips representing Huang Daoxian's power into his palm.

"You..."

As if Huang Daoxian had noticed, Zhang Xuezhou also heard Huang Daoxian's unusual sound of fear amidst the monotonous and noisy sounds.

What was originally just a desperate struggle to release the spirit pierced through the hyena's head suddenly split open like a watermelon, like a crab shedding its shell, and a hyena emerged from the split fur.

An unusual presence appeared in the almost still space, along with another living being capable of movement.

"I'm already in a state of panic, I pose no threat to you anymore, let me go!"

Upon seeing a finger pointing at the soft, fragile body, Huang Daoxian's bitter mental fluctuations immediately emanated.

"The reason your Alliance States are stable is only because of external pressure, which forces you all to stick together. Even if some people suspect you are a fire meteor creature from the North Rehe Sinkhole, they can only tolerate you. But once external pressure is gone, internal problems will inevitably arise!"

"It won't be a day or two; it'll likely take a year or two, or even longer, and then someone will inevitably start targeting you!"

"I've served emperors and been a human being; I know all too well the complexities of human nature!"

"You will be no exception, even if you become the chairman of the Scarlet Alliance State!"

"You will die the same way Luo Zhong died!"

Seeing the finger pointing at its head, the hyena, now stripped of its fur, struggled to raise its head.

"If you want to live, you must leave me behind. Only if this corrosive external force like me lives can you survive!"

Huang Daoxian's previous attempts to mislead the Scarlet Alliance State with his claims about the gene seed outbreak causing harm have had no effect whatsoever.

But his words of humanity spoken in the face of death stirred something within Zhang Xuezhou.

"Qin Meng has five Fire Meteor Creatures, and the external forces there are even greater. We don't need you!"

He gave his first response, confirming that Huang Daoxian could interact with each other in these moments of fast and slow.

"I don't want to use those strangers as bargaining chips, but you should understand the limitations of your reach. The Scarlet Alliance State, far from Qin Meng, won't consider things that far ahead, and the Aomeijia Alliance is also under pressure. The probability of internal strife among you is very high!"

"Perhaps they aren't what you imagine..."

"Do you believe in human nature? Even if you believe in those close to you, do you believe in everyone? I know your identity and your situation, which has led me to neglect you. But can your physical limitations protect you from all those who are suspicious? In a year or two, or perhaps three to five years, something is bound to happen. Are you willing to accept that possibility? Don't expect luck to protect you forever. I gathered the earth's energy in the deep mountains for a hundred years, only to have it all burned up in a fire. You can't be an exception!"

The repeated questions left Zhang Xuezhou speechless.

With a single thrust of his finger, he could pierce the hyena's soft, boneless body after it sheds its skin.

But he didn't poke any further with his finger.

For Zhang Xuezhou, who has studied social psychology and pseudo-psychology, human nature is indeed not something that can withstand the test, nor can it be used for testing, and there is no completely correct answer.

"I'm no longer a threat to you, but you need me to live!"

Nine purplish-black crystal chips lay in Zhang Xuezhou's hand. These chips contained nine abilities of Huang Daoxian, including the ability to summon wind and rain, as well as his magical arts.

You have one chance to live!

Zhang Xuezhou finally pointed to the nine chips in his hand.

The chips cracked open as if peeling off a shell, and a small nine-petaled flower emerged from within them.

Huang Daoxian's choice when seeking survival left Zhang Xuezhou with little room for criticism.

He extended his right finger, pointing towards the hyena's head.

The power to control speed faded, the mental piercing impact destroyed the surroundings, and a blood-red rainbow shot out, instantly disappearing into the night sky.
