Zhuang Chengqian easily suppressed the demonized Song Wanxi with his insufficient strength. This was an absolute difference in realm. Using his vision, which was more than a level higher than Jiang Wang's, to deal with the same situation was as natural and smooth as a butcher dismembering an ox.
Since the threat had been removed, Jiang Wang naturally wanted to regain control of his body at the first possible moment.
"It's done!" he said.
However, within Heavenly Connection Palace, Zhuang Chengqian took a large step and pressed towards Jiang Wang. "What's done? Where can it be done? "
At this moment, his body was under Zhuang Chengqian's control. Even though Heavenly Connection Palace was Jiang Wang's foundation, the suppression on Zhuang Chengqian had greatly weakened.
Zhuang Chengqian took a step forward, and Jiang Wang was forced to take a few steps back.
The host and guest's situation had changed!
"Don't forget, you swore a Dao-heart oath!" Jiang Wang was shocked and angry.
"I admire everything about you, including your childishness!" Zhuang Chengqian laughed loudly. "I have two hundred and thirty-one ways to break a Dao-heart oath. Do I need to teach you?"
He had never planned on keeping his promise.
The so-called returning his body after forcing Song Wanxi back was just a lie. It was just to trick Jiang Wang into temporarily giving up resistance.
It was indeed impossible to defeat Song Wanxi with just one hand. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to deceive Jiang Wang.
However, in that moment of life and death, he still wasn't prepared to keep his promise. Instead, he used the danger of their lives to trick Jiang Wang.
To him, the alliance was just a piece of paper, and the promise was just a sentence. Only an unbreakable oath was considered somewhat restrained. However, in reality, for true geniuses, such oaths might not exist.
Regardless of whether it was a Dao-heart oath, a Great Vow of the Heart Demon, or a blood sacrifice contract, they were all essentially the evolutions of a Dao technique. Using one's Dao-heart or bloodline to establish an unbreakable bond. However, any Dao technique had the possibility of being broken.
With the development of the Dao technique system, there were already too many ways to deceive one's Dao-heart.
This was also the reason why the various Transcendent factions no longer used simple oaths to restrain their disciples.
Zhuang Chengqian pressed forward step by step. To be honest, he was looking forward to seeing if Jiang Wang could still surprise him.
Only those with victory in their grasp and enough confidence in themselves would have such expectations.
Of course he, Zhuang Chengqian, was.
Even though he didn't think that Jiang Wang could do anything now.
He approached step by step, and Jiang Wang retreated step by step. Soon, there was nowhere to run.
"If you only choose to retreat at the last moment, then I will be very disappointed in you," Zhuang Chengqian said in a condescending tone.
As soon as the words left his mouth, he heard a voice in his ear.
It was an old but furious voice.
"Get your dirty hands off me!"
The killing intent was biting cold, and it resounded in the underground demon cave.
Zhuang Chengqian, who was controlling this body, turned around in shock. "Song Hengjiang?!"
An old man with a ferocious expression was standing at the entrance of the cave. His fists were clenched, and his aura was ferocious.
It was none other than the Master of Clear River!
Why did Song Hengjiang return?
That doesn't make sense.
Zhuang Gaoxian and Du Ruhui had already left. He had seen and said what he needed to say. There was no reason for him to come back.
Zhuang Chengqian's mind spun rapidly, and he quickly thought of the problem.
When Jiang Wang first walked into this cave, his mind was unstable, and his footsteps were slow. He was even hit by the blood striped sarcophagus beside him. At the time, it didn't seem to have any effect, but now that he thought about it, there was a big problem with that hit!
"You did something to the blood striped sarcophagus?" Zhuang Chengqian asked Jiang Wang in Sky Penetrating Palace.
"I was just reminding Song Hengjiang that someone knows his secret."
Jiang Wang responded in a low voice. Then, without a care, his soul left Sky Penetrating Palace. Unlike any of his previous short departures, he took all of his soul power with him this time. It was almost the same as completely giving up on this place!
During the entire process, he didn't even look at the Star Twining Python.
He left Sky Penetrating Palace to Zhuang Chengqian, which meant that he left Song Hengjiang completely for Zhuang Chengqian to deal with. But he himself escaped into the first inner palace.
Facing Zhuang Chengqian's advance, he retreated step by step. He wasn't retreating, but stalling for time.
The reason his battle with Zhuang Chengqian had reached its climax so quickly wasn't because Zhuang Chengqian was in a hurry. In fact, during the entire battle, he had been speeding up.
Because he was in a hurry!
Because he knew that Song Hengjiang would return very soon!
In order to fight with the imaginary Jiang Yan, he had made many preparations. Soul Flame Sparrow, Ethereal Palace, Longthought Sword Spirit, Red Makeup Mirror … because of his insufficient cultivation, his preparations weren't perfect. So he had always been very tolerant of "Jiang Yan." Many times, he seemed to have forgotten the existence of this evil guest in Sky Penetrating Palace.
But in reality, he had never been tolerant of or trusted Jiang Yan, who had always tried to influence his will. He was only tolerant because he wasn't confident.
On that rainy night outside Xin 'an City, when the heart demon was born, he realized that the time for the final battle had come.
In his earliest plan, he wanted to defeat Jiang Yan in the shortest amount of time and then escape. If these methods didn't work, then it meant that he wasn't a match for "Jiang Yan" — then he would find an opponent for "Jiang Yan"!
Even if Jiang Yan killed him and successfully took over his body, Song Hengjiang could still kill Jiang Yan.
After becoming an Inner Mansion cultivator, even if Sky Penetrating Palace collapsed, his soul could still survive in the Inner Mansion.
As long as his physical body wasn't destroyed, he still had a chance to find a way to repair Sky Penetrating Palace — the premise was that he could retake control of his body and convince Song Hengjiang to stop before Song Hengjiang destroyed Jiang Yan's soul and destroyed this body.
This was undoubtedly very difficult, and the chances of success were extremely slim. But it was better than being silently destroyed by Jiang Yan. This was a risk he had no choice but to take.
Having a choice was better than not having a choice.
The change in Sky Penetrating Palace happened in an instant.
'Zhuang Chengqian' had no time to track Jiang Wang's soul origin. He had already controlled his body to let go of Song Wanxi and left the stone platform.
Because Song Hengjiang's fist was coming!
This Water Lord of Qing River's fist pierced through space and appeared next to Song Wanxi, who had her eyes closed, occupying 'Zhuang Chengqian's' previous position.
He carefully looked at Song Wanxi. Seeing that she didn't suffer any fatal injuries, he turned around and looked coldly at 'Zhuang Chengqian'. "I will give you ten breaths of time to explain everything to me."
The person in front of him gave him a very complicated feeling.
The other dodging his fist was indeed because he had intentionally controlled his power and was afraid of affecting Song Wanxi. It also displayed the other's extremely high realm. But the strength of this person's aura was definitely not higher than that of the Outer Mansion.
His physical body was clearly very young. It wasn't the kind of youth that stopped because of cultivation, but the kind of youth that wasn't very old. But the vicissitudes of life in the depths of his eyes made it seem like he had lived for a very long time. Those were definitely not the eyes of a young person!
Also … … he didn't know why, but he felt a strange sense of familiarity from this unfamiliar young person.
This was also why he gave the other a chance to speak.
Of course, this was on the premise that Song Wanxi hadn't really suffered any injuries.
'Zhuang Chengqian' was very clear that he was definitely not Song Hengjiang's match.
Song Wanxi only had strength and no intelligence. That was why he was able to defeat the strong as the weak. Song Hengjiang was a true expert. He was once an existence that was close to Insightful Truth. He definitely wasn't an existence that he could surpass with just his past realm.
So he didn't say anything else and directly begged for mercy. "I have mistakenly entered this place and offended you. But Water Lord, I saved the life of your daughter, Song Qingzhi! "
