"What?"
Jian Rong screamed and retreated quickly. He felt a chill on his scalp as the sword light left a deep cut on his forehead.
Lord Zi Ningjun's face was pale, but his expression was firm as he pointed his sword forward.
"You … didn't die under the demonic shadow?"
Jian Rong could not believe it.
If his opponent was a fifth level True God, he would not be so surprised. However, how could a martial artist who was one level lower than him withstand such a fatal attack?
"I understand now!"
Cynanchum Chinense was not stupid. She immediately understood after hearing Lord Zi Ningjun's explanation.
The demonic shadow was frightening, but its attack was half-real and half-illusory. As long as one was able to see through it, one would be able to dodge it with ease. Being hit by a real demonic shadow would result in severe injuries, but an illusory one was something that Lord Zi Ningjun could withstand.
Of course, he could only withstand it.
"You're crazy!"
Jian Rong sneered. "Once the demonic shadow enters your body, even if you don't die immediately, you'll be doomed! Even if she's not afraid of death, she can't possibly hurt me! "
Jian Rong panicked just now. Otherwise, he could have used his divine light to block the attack of a fourth level True God. At most, he would have suffered light injuries.
On the other hand, Lord Zi Ningjun was heavily injured by the demonic shadow and would not live for more than a few days!
"One person can't hurt you, but what if the three of us work together?"
Cynanchum Chinense jumped to Lord Zi Ningjun's side. "We'll use the Gentleman's Wind to attack together!"
Princess Long nodded and followed without hesitation.
Since Master said there was no need to worry about the half-real demonic shadow, there was no need to worry.
From the beginning until now, when had Shen Zhenyi made any mistakes?
"You …"
Jian Rong was stunned.
"Gentleman's Wind? Isn't that the martial art that kills its user? I was wondering how you could block my demonic claw. So it's because you're risking your life? You're not afraid of death! "
He laughed. "I understand now. Your master is using you as cannon fodder. As long as you work together to kill me and obtain the soul imprint of a fifth level True God, he can complete the trial. As for whether you die or not, what does that have to do with him? "
This was the most logical explanation.
Otherwise, how could he let his proud disciple use a martial art that was sure to kill, a fighting style that would lead to mutual destruction?
"Cut the crap!"
The Cynanchum Chinense hated it the most when people talked bad about Shen Zhenyi. She suddenly drew her sword.
Lord Zi Ningjun and Princess Long followed suit. Their gentlemanly demeanor was elegant, but it was full of murderous intent!
"Stubborn! But you're underestimating me too much! Even if you perish together, you might not be able to hurt me! "
Jian Rong gnashed his teeth in hatred and pushed the Phantom Mystic to the extreme. Thousands of black demonic shadows circled around him and turned into a solid defensive wall, blocking the three sword lights.
Chi!
However, the attack of the Gentleman's Wind was so sharp that even a Level Five True God would find it hard to defend against it. In just one move, Jian Rong's Demonic Shadow Barrier was torn apart. Without any hesitation, the three women threw themselves in!
"You really want to die!"
Jian Rong was anxious and angry. He knew that the three Cynanchum Chinense were bound to die after being hit by the demonic shadows. However, the opponent's attack was too strong, and he could not resolve it in time. He did not know whether to fight or retreat.
With a thousand years of battle experience, he had encountered such a situation before.
After all, the souls of the experts in the Black Dome Sect were immortal. Even if they were shattered, they could be reformed by the array. Therefore, there were people who fought desperately to win. However, these people were made of flesh and blood. How could they not be stingy with their lives?
If they died, they would really die!
Even if they could be summoned and trapped in the Black Dome Sect as souls, how could they be compared to real life?
Jian Rong was stunned. He could not gather his demonic shadows and was instantly swept by the Gentleman's Wind. The lower half of his body was immediately turned into dust!
A Level Five True God was actually killed by three Level Four True Gods!
Even Jian Rong himself could not believe it.
"You … are all foolishly loyal!"
His head hung in the air as he watched the three Cynanchum Chinense rejoice. He was angry and amused at the same time. "Although I was defeated, I will be able to reform in a short while. What about you? Young lives are about to wither away. You really don't know what you are talking about! "
If it was really a battle of life and death, it would be fine if they risked their lives. However, it was just a trial for the Soul Mark. Why did they have to do this?
"What do you know?"
Cynanchum Chinense held her head high. "With Master here, we will be fine!"
When she used the Gentleman's Wind, she was worried for a while. However, there were no problems during this period of time, so she was relieved.
Jian Rong's body turned into dust and was blown away by the wind.
Only a tiny golden star floated in the air, floating up and down. This was the soul imprint of an expert. After Shen Zhenyi obtained this imprint, he would be able to leave the Blackdome Gate and report to the Elder Council of King City, officially becoming an Elder.
Cynanchum Chinense happily took the Soul Mark and handed it to Shen Zhenyi. "Master, here you go! We were attacked by the demonic shadows. We should be fine, right? "
Shen Zhenyi glanced at the Soul Mark, but didn't care much about it. He shook his head and said, "Although he hasn't mastered the Specter Metamorphosis yet, what he said is mostly correct. The Specter Metamorphosis can corrode flesh and blood, and can't be dispelled. After the Specter Metamorphosis enters the body, it will gradually devour the flesh and blood, turning into a real entity, and finally rush out of the flesh and blood. Of course, the parasitized person will die a terrible death.
What?
Master, do you have to say it so casually?
This concerns the lives of your three beautiful female disciples. Cynanchum Chinense frowned and asked, "There must be a way to save them, right?"
Just now, Cynanchum Chinense was in the lead and was bitten by countless demonic shadows. Thinking about these terrifying little things devouring her flesh and blood to grow, she felt her hair stand on end.
Shen Zhenyi smiled. "Well, it's not like there's no way."
Finally, there was a way!
Cynanchum Chinense was invigorated. "Master, what's the way?"
Shen Zhenyi shrugged. "Although the demonic shadows are strong, they are just the manifestation of this brother's martial arts. As long as your cultivation is on par with his, you will be able to dispel the demonic shadows under the illumination of the divine light. That's why I said that his martial arts are useless. Against an expert of the same level, no matter how strong the demonic shadows are, they can only scare people. "
If a fifth level True God Realm expert fought Jian Rong and saw through the demonic shadows, they would be able to kill Jian Rong by taking the demonic shadows' attacks head-on.
— — If one wanted to deal with an opponent weaker than himself, why would he need to use such a powerful move?
Hence, this move could only be used to restrain the opponent and was not very useful.
"Then I'm relieved."
Cynanchum Chinense heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she asked, "How long does it take for the demonic shadows to devour flesh and break out of the body?"
Shen Zhenyi calculated and said, "About seven days."
"What?"
Cynanchum Chinense shouted, "Master, you mean that we have to break through to the fifth level of the True God Realm within seven days. Otherwise, we will definitely die?"
This … Was he trying to trick his disciple?
"Yes."
Shen Zhenyi's expression was serious. He did not look like he was joking at all.
