Peerless War God

"I'm not tempted, but my life is more important. And you also said that the harvest of these Soul Fruits is already enough."    

In fact, from Han Guang's words, he could already vaguely deduce some things, such as the purpose of the Gu family.    

It was very obvious that the treasures in the painting could be divided into three types: Soul Crystals, Soul Fruits, and Soul Technique.    

Soul Crystals were the weakest, Soul Technique was the strongest, but it was the most difficult, and it was also the most dangerous.    

It was hard to imagine how much risk it would be.    

He even had a bold idea in his heart. If it was so easy to obtain the soul technique cultivation method, then why didn't Gu Changsheng come here in person?    

With Gu Changsheng's Immortality Stage strength, it was extremely easy for him to get the cultivation method. It would be as easy as flipping his hand.    

However, none of this happened. Why could Chen Xiao only think of two possibilities? Either Gu Changsheng did not care about the so-called Soul Technique cultivation method, or even if he came personally to get it, it would still be quite risky. At least it wouldn't be that easy.    

If that was really the case, then the second possibility was obviously more likely.    

Even if he guessed wrong, he was not willing to take the huge risk, because there was no need to do so. At least, if he joined hands with Han Guang, then there was no need to do so.    

After hearing Chen Xiao's words, Han Guang's face darkened to the extreme. His eyes were cold as he stared fiercely at Chen Xiao.    

"Chen Xiao, let me ask you this one last time. Are you still not willing to join hands with me to seize the cultivation method of the Soul Technique? You better think about it carefully before asking. There will be different consequences."    

Although Han Guang's words were calm, everyone could hear the threat in them.    

Chen Xiao was no exception. He smiled and asked, "What? Are you threatening me?"    

"Yes, a threat. You have two choices. Either you join hands with me, or ..."    

"Or what do you say?"    

"You know very well that I won't let someone take away five Soul Fruits for nothing. This is a huge amount of wealth, and it doesn't belong to you at all, does it?" Han Guang sneered.    

Hearing this, Chen Xiao shook his head and said: "Heh, I have never seen such a shameless fellow before. This Soul Fruit was obtained by you and me after we worked together to deal with the symbol beast. It should have belonged to me."    

"Is that so? You don't believe me? Hehe, this is a world where the strong prey on the weak. The strong are respected. Can you protect your Soul Fruit? Die!"    

Han Guang's eyes were wide open like that of an angry bull. Before he finished speaking, he ruthlessly struck out with his palm.    

A weird energy aura rose from his body and gathered on his palm before he threw it out in the air.    

Pow!    

The air exploded with a crisp sound, and the shadow of a high-speed palm flew towards Chen Xiao.    

When Chen Xiao saw this, he snorted coldly, but he did not panic at all. He had already been mentally prepared.    

This guy was not to be trusted.    

He took the opportunity to roll to the side and dodge the palm shadow. With a bang, the palm shadow hit the big tree, and the tree trunk broke.    

"Can you dodge it?"    

Han Guang smiled sinisterly and struck out with his palm once again.    

"You!"    

Chen Xiao's chest was hit, and he cried out in pain before falling to the ground. For a moment, he was unable to move at all.    

It could be seen that the power of this palm strike was not ordinary. Furthermore, his soul had been attacked, so it was greatly affected.    

Seeing this, Han Guang's face revealed a look of satisfaction as he smiled and said, "Chen Xiao, I have already said that it would be the best choice for you to cooperate with me. If you had agreed from the beginning, why would you have made it so tense? It's a pity that it's too late now."    

As he spoke, Han Guang's footsteps did not stop, and he even sped up as he rushed towards him.    

He knew very well that as long as he gave Chen Xiao any time to catch his breath, he would be able to rely on this opportunity to crush the jade slip and escape from this place. At that time, everything would be for naught.    

Taking advantage of his weakness, Han Guang made up his mind. He leaped into the air and pounced towards Chen Xiao. While he was in the air, he was like a ferocious eagle, ready to swallow him whole.    

Almost at the same time, a ball of light condensed in his right palm, and another palm was about to strike out.    

As for himself, he had already set his sights on the bag that fell beside Chen Xiao. There were five Soul Fruits inside.    

It had to be said that Han Guang was greedy and thorough enough. He wanted to take Chen Xiao's life as well as take the Soul Fruits as soon as possible to prevent anything unexpected from happening.    

By doing so, he could be said to be completely merciless, and he did not give Chen Xiao any chance at all. He was truly vicious.    

However, there was one thing that he cared about the most, and that was that he suddenly noticed that Chen Xiao seemed to be smiling.    

Yes, Chen Xiao was smiling.    

In the air, in an instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but most of them were filled with doubt.    

If the other party was laughing, then what right did he have? Could it be that he was scared silly and was too scared that his brain collapsed?    

Yes, it must be like this, it must be like this.    

But very quickly, Han Guang realized that he was wrong. A black light bloomed from Chen Xiao's forehead, like a black sun, and like a flying arrow, it pierced towards him.    

At this moment, his entire body was trembling, and his hair was standing on end. He felt an unprecedented fear and despair.    

Because he knew that he could not dodge this time. He screamed in fear and made the last sound.    

"No, this is impossible! You actually know the Soul Technique?"    

Pow!    

The black soul's attack landed on Han Guang's body and pierced through it. Then, the light in Han Guang's eyes quickly disappeared.    

Then, Han Guang fell into eternal darkness. Before his death, his eyes were still wide open, as if he had died with everlasting regret.    

He probably never would have thought that Chen Xiao's counter attack would be so terrifying, not even giving him the chance to regret.    

"Huff, huff ~"    

After doing all this, Chen Xiao gasped for breath. His face was extremely pale, and even a little transparent.    

This meant that he had consumed a lot of his divine soul power, and he felt like he was about to collapse from exhaustion.    

"I'm so tired. As expected, using the Black Soul Strike in this damned place consumes too much of my divine soul. I can't take it anymore, I can't hold on any longer."    

Chen Xiao held on with all his might. He wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn't hold on no matter what, and then he fainted.    

After an unknown period of time, Chen Xiao slowly woke up. The first thing he did was to check his own condition. He found that everything was fine. It was a false alarm.    

"I..."    

He raised his head to look, only to see Hua Yin standing alone at the entrance of the cave, like a guard.    

"Hua Yin?"    

Hua Yin turned his head and looked at him, saying, "You're awake? I thought you were going to sleep longer? "    

Only now did Chen Xiao realize that he was no longer lying in the place where he had fought with Han Guang, but in an unknown cave.    

The cave entrance was not big, but it could accommodate the two of them. It was also enough to give him a sense of security.
