Absorbing Souls
Old District.
On the other side.
Jian Changsheng was walking alone along the street. Right at this moment, Kongwang's voice penetrated through space, lingering in every corner of the Old District.
"From now on, all the living and the dead within this Old District... are my hostages."
Jian Changsheng's footsteps slightly paused.
He turned his head to look in the direction the voice came from, a smear of worry flashing in his eyes.
"Hostages? Tsk... sounds thorny enough."
Jian Changsheng knew of the existence of the Path of Ghosts from Chen Ling, and also knew there would be variables in this struggle. But looking at it now, this brother seemed quite confident in his own strength, having an imposing manner of "you have all been surrounded by me alone."
"Forget it, seek your own good fortune."
He lowered his head and glanced at the privilege with flowing faint light in his hand, and silently clenched his fist. "The final stage is about to begin. When I use the privilege, an arduous battle will be unavoidable... I have to start preparing in advance."
Jian Changsheng lightly jumped onto the nearest building, using his height advantage to overlook the surroundings. He quickly locked onto two participants walking shoulder to shoulder not far away.
Those two participants also heard Kongwang's words in the distance, and were stunned in place for a moment.
"Kongwang? Who is this person?"
"I don't know... Sounds very arrogant."
"Why do I feel something is not quite right. Did something go wrong in this struggle? Is someone really planning to cause trouble?"
"It shouldn't be to that extent. This is the Tianshu Domain, with the Tower to Heaven here, and there are still quite a few referees on the field, what is there to be afraid of?"
"True..."
While the two were talking, several figures wearing fluorescent robes flew over their heads. Looking at the direction they were heading, it was exactly where the voice came from.
Seeing the unusual movements of the referees, an ominous premonition suddenly rose in the hearts of the two...
Boom—!!
A black shadow descended from the sky, crashing in front of them like a meteorite!
The sudden sneak attack made the two instantly on guard. Their Spiritual Power quickly mobilized, vigilantly watching the rolling dust before them... A figure in black clothes with a mullet haircut slowly walked out from it.
"There's not much time left... Let's skip those unnecessary processes and start fighting directly."
Jian Changsheng stretched his muscles and bones, then bit his fingertip. A drop of fresh blood slowly oozed out from it, reflecting on those black pupils.
Observing Blood.
As the fresh blood dripped into the earth, a Domain rapidly expanded with Jian Changsheng as the center. Ancient and majestic Killing Intent burst forth with a boom, shaking both participants half a step back, with looks of astonishment appearing in their eyes!
Jian Changsheng casually flicked his wrist, and a blood sword condensed within the Domain, firmly grasped in his palm.
"Kill me, or, become my power."
...
Hearing Kongwang's words, the crowd present fell into a deathly silence.
That participant who was chasing Tu Tian just now was intimidated by Kongwang's Aura, and only came back to his senses after a long trance. By the time he turned his head to look, he found that Tu Tian had already escaped and disappeared.
But now was no longer the time to chase Tu Tian and compete for the privilege. Anyone could tell that this Divine Pathway leading underground before their eyes didn't belong to any of the current Divine Pathway systems... This mysterious existence calling himself [Kongwang] undoubtedly exceeded everyone's cognition.
"Hostages... what are you talking about?"
In the crowd, someone frowned and spoke. "This is the Tianshu Domain, it's the [Heaven-Reaching Star Position] trial hosted by the Tower to Heaven! Do you know what you are doing?!"
Hearing these words, Club 7's eyelids twitched slightly.
He secretly exchanged a glance with a few people in the crowd again. As if having some kind of tacit understanding, they silently retreated behind the crowd...
Sure enough, after that person actively questioned, Kongwang's gaze slowly fell on him.
That person only felt an ultimate chill enveloping the surroundings. His body, which could still barely hold on just now, instantly trembled uncontrollably!
"Although, both the living and the dead can become hostages... but sometimes, dead people are more convenient."
Kongwang spoke calmly.
Before that person could come back to his senses, Kongwang's figure vanished into thin air like a phantom, and when he appeared again, he had already arrived in front of him, pointing a finger at his glabella.
His speed was too fast, the crowd almost didn't react at all. As a wisp of scarlet spread at his glabella, pale chains seemed to have wrapped around something and forcefully pulled it out from within his body!
The figure that was still speaking just now instantly lost all vitality, as if dying of sudden cardiac arrest, falling straight down!
A blurry soul was wrapped by chains, like a pierced piglet, hung in front of Kongwang.
"An ordinary Divine Pathway, boring abilities... Only the soul's strength is barely passable." Kongwang's Yin-Yang Eyes stared at the soul, as if seeing through everything about him. "Using it as nourishment is not bad."
As the voice fell, the chains wrapped around the soul began to shimmer with a blue light, as if extracting something from inside it, causing it to instantly wither. The originally somewhat solid soul became dim and transparent.
That blue light flowed along the chains and surged into another soul seized by Kongwang, making its already solid figure increasingly lifelike!
That was one of the Qiankun Twins, [Fudi]!
Fudi's soul was controlled by the chains and directly floated down behind Kongwang. Kongwang casually took a step out, and the moment the sole of his foot touched the ground, a huge force surged!!
Boom—!!!
In the next moment, the earth along with the surrounding buildings where the crowd was hiding were all shattered into pieces. Air waves visible to the naked eye surged crazily in all directions, and over a dozen figures were forcefully shaken out!
In an instant, everyone was exposed to Kongwang's line of sight!
"Oh no! Is he going to kill all of us?!" Seeing this, Li Shengmen's heart skipped a beat.
All the participants were deeply shaken in their hearts. Just now, they had witnessed the scene of Kongwang instantly killing several people, knowing they were absolutely not his match. Therefore, they didn't hesitate to flee into the distance!
Kongwang raised his palm, and a huge force pressed down from the air, directly swatting the two participants who had leaped into the air onto the ground. Just as he was about to continue hunting down the others, several figures wearing fluorescent robes whistled over from afar!
"Stop!!"
Three Fifth-Tier Auras burst forth simultaneously, forcefully intercepting Kongwang in place, and then crashing into the ground like meteorites, sealing off Kongwang's path from three directions!
Under the night sky, these three fluorescent robes were incomparably conspicuous. On their chests, three numbers were written respectively:
03, 10, 11.
Kongwang wasn't surprised by their arrival. With a casual glance of his Yin-Yang Eyes into the distance, he saw several other fluorescent figures hurrying over rapidly!
