41: Heart fire is showing off

"Young Master, let's leave quickly. I keep feeling that something isn't right; I feel stifled inside," Gongsun Li said.

There was a feeling that danger was approaching.

Gongsun Sheng: "What are you panicking about? In broad daylight, do you think I'll be eaten or something?"

"Cousin has been defeated, and now that Uncle has stepped in, he will surely make him bleed on the spot!"

With Uncle's strength as the number one Vajra in Dahe Prefecture, he did not believe Chu Jiang could withstand it.

Gongsun Sheng gritted his teeth. Today, he absolutely had to see Chu Jiang's miserable end.

Suddenly.

He felt a gust of eerie wind strike him, and instantly, a strange infant Soul rushed into his body, reaching his spirit platform with lightning speed.

Above the spirit platform, a light source emitted a panicked voice: "Who are you? What do you want to do? Get out of my body immediately! Get lost!"

"Hehehe... obediently open your heart and mind, and you will suffer less pain. This seat has taken a liking to you; it is your Opportunity."

The infant Soul lunged forward instantly, wanting to seize the Soul's light source.

The Soul's light source dimmed rapidly, and the original will was gradually replaced by the infant Soul.

But the final trace could not be broken through by the infant Soul, which made it extremely furious.

"Damn it, if you have any last words, say them quickly. This seat might consider doing them for you!"

The light source roared: "I want Chu Jiang to die, otherwise I will not give up the struggle."

Being targeted by such a strange creature, Gongsun Sheng knew that he was doomed to die today. The obsession in his heart refused to subside for a long time.

He regretted not listening to Old Li's words.

"Fine, this seat promises you. I will definitely tear Chu Jiang into ten thousand pieces!"

What a coincidence. He already had a grudge against Chu Jiang; having destroyed his Clone, he had already placed him on his must-kill list.

If not for the fact that his main body was trapped, why would it be so troublesome?

The last bit of defense was broken, and the infant Soul successfully occupied this body.

It also read all of its memories.

"Now, it is to advance to the Vajra Peak as quickly as possible to prepare for that Secret Realm."

Gongsun Sheng's eyes flashed, and his whole person had changed.

"Old Li, let's go!"

Gongsun Li was stunned for a moment. Just a moment ago, he had absolutely refused to leave; how had he changed his mind in the blink of an eye? However, he didn't think too much about it.

As long as Gongsun Sheng returned quickly, that was all that mattered.

"Young Master, understood!"

The infant Soul chuckled inwardly. If not for Gongsun Sheng begging me not to harm you before he died, it had been prepared to swallow this guy on the way.

The two figures left quickly.

...

Rumble!

Every collision between the two was like a muffled thunderclap exploding.

Not a single intact rock could be seen around the battlefield, and all the trees had fallen.

The onlookers quickly moved away, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

"Gu Hongchen, is this all you have? I really doubt whether your number one ranking on the Human Ranking was self-proclaimed. You're too weak!"

Chu Jiang was like a peerless Vicious Beast, slaughtering in all directions. His violent power struck Gu Hongchen's Physical Body incessantly, leaving behind dense fist marks.

"Little thief, how arrogant!"

"Crimson Sun Sky-Splitting Strike!"

Gu Hongchen roared, and the sword in his hand seemed to transform into a terrifying red sun, fast as lightning, as if it could tear everything apart, striking wildly toward Chu Jiang's body.

Chu Jiang relied on his powerful Physical Body and forcibly endured Gu Hongchen's terrifying sword technique. Streams of scorching power made him feel his flesh churning and his internal organs shaking.

"Vajra Divine Palm!"

Chu Jiang injected the thunder and fire power of the Wind and Thunder Vajra Body into his palm. The entire palm emitted strands of terrifying aura, making people palpitate.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

With several consecutive strikes, Chu Jiang unleashed martial arts as if they didn't consume any Qi.

Wind and Thunder Vajra Body at Perfection.

His current Qi reserves were ten times that of his peers, enough to unleash the Vajra Divine Palm dozens of times.

Gu Hongchen was beaten until he howled in pain, tightly protecting his vital parts.

But soon, he felt that something was wrong.

His arms, chest, and back were not only bearing immense power but were also being harassed by the thunder and fire power. Wherever it passed, his skin split, and his Meridians were scorched.

He felt as if he were enduring the punishment of a thousand cuts.

Following that, his injuries grew worse and worse, spiraling out of control.

"Ah..."

Chu Jiang threw another punch, smashing Gu Hongchen far away.

After landing, he kicked up clouds of dust and never got up again.

His body was oozing blood, his flesh twitching; he no longer had the strength to fight.

Onlookers from all directions were trembling, dumbfounded, looking at everything before them in disbelief.

Is this still a human?

No.

Others are like ferocious beasts.

He, Chu Jiang, is simply a peerless Vicious Beast; it's too perverted.

It feels like the world has changed.

Chu Jiang first defeated the number one on the Human Ranking, Gu Jian, and had already become famous.

He became a leader of the younger generation.

Then he defeated Gu Hongchen, already becoming a top powerhouse among the older generation of Cultivators, his momentum reaching its zenith.

In two great battles, his status jumped several times.

The remaining people from the Sword King Sect stayed in the distance, their bodies trembling, not daring to move a muscle.

"Speak! When you besieged Immortal Master Xuantong back then, where is he now?"

Chu Jiang remembered Blood Knife's last words and immediately began to press for an answer.

"Cough, cough... cough... You want to know? I won't tell you... Hehehe!"

Gu Hongchen coughed up blood, seemingly having found a point to manipulate Chu Jiang, and let out an eerie, strange laugh.

Chu Jiang's eyes turned cold. He raised his right foot, imbued with thunder and fire power, and stomped fiercely toward Gu Hongchen's right foot.

Puchi.

Flesh exploded, and bones shattered.

He lay on the ground, a miserable sight, covered in blood.

"If you don't speak, do you think I have no way to deal with you?"

Chu Jiang sneered and struck Gu Hongchen on the shoulder with his palm. An invisible Heart Fire was instantly driven into his body.

This Heart Fire could only be driven into an opponent's body when the opponent had no strength left to fight.

Or if the opponent opened their heart and mind, allowing him to plant the Heart Fire.

Seeing this, Chu Jiang moved his mind.

The Heart Fire began to burn inside Gu Hongchen's body.

"Ah... no... what did you do to me!"

This cluster of Heart Fire was like a demonic flame darting out from the depths of Hell, ruthlessly devouring his Soul.

Every part of his heart was wrapped in scorching heat, and every cell was suffering under the high temperature.

The flame was extremely strange; it awakened the deepest fear, anger, and despair in his heart, like a maggot on a bone, difficult to shake off.

"Stop... I tell you to stop... I'll speak, I'll speak..."

Chu Jiang's Heart Fire stopped. This Heart Fire was truly a unique skill; if used to interrogate prisoners, how could it fail to pry open their mouths?

Its pain was far more unforgettable than physical pain; it originated from a person's inner heart.

"Immortal Master Xuantong was indeed very strong. The seven of us experts besieged him, along with a Martial Dao Grandmaster, yet we still couldn't trap him, but he was wounded and his whereabouts are unknown."

"No one knows his whereabouts!"

Gu Hongchen answered honestly. He did not want to experience that kind of pain a second time; its intensity was no less than his desire to get rid of his Heart Demon.

What kind of technique was this? It was comparable to the tortures of Hell and simply unbearable.
