Chapter 59: Instant Kill _1
Suddenly, a faint red ripple erupted around Xu Sheng, wildly spreading in all directions...
Flander, who had released his Martial Soul True Body and was bombing toward Xu Sheng in the air, was touched by this rapidly spreading ripple and just like that, became frozen in mid-air, unable to move!
And the Shrek teachers and others were also subsequently affected by this ripple!
In just an instant, their Martial Soul True Bodies burst open, transforming into blue soul power that scattered in all directions...
As for their physical bodies, they were completely immobilized in place, unable to feel their other limbs, with only their eyes and mouths able to move!
Flander twisted his neck with difficulty, looking toward his legs, only to see that, without any support, he was actually floating in the air...
His complexion ugly, he gritted his teeth and said, "Just how terrifying was that ripple just now? Even I, a Seventy-Eighth-Level Soul Saint, have no ability to resist!"
Below, Zhao Wuji and others were also cursing, "Damn it! Can't move at all!"
Li Yusong watched Xu Sheng with a wary look in his eyes, and said, "This guy's soul skill can actually bring space to a standstill!"
Zhao Xin watched Xu Sheng easily clutching Ma Hongjun in his hand like a chick, his eyes red and on the verge of splitting, "Damn it! If this goes on, Ma Hongjun is probably..."
...
Dai Mubai stepped back several steps, his face pale as he spoke, "The dean and the others, they were... controlled by a single soul skill of Xu Sheng?"
Oscar's face tightened, murmuring, "This Xu Sheng, without even releasing his Martial Soul True Body, has already reached such a horrifying strength!"
Actually being able to instantly control Flander, Zhao Wuji, and many Soul Sages...
Tang San's gaze was fixed on Xu Sheng, who by himself controlled people like Flander, and he was deeply shocked to his core.
He clenched his fists tightly and then gradually loosened them, his face filled with a bitter smile as he said, "Brother Sheng... is this your true strength? It seems it's still not very likely for me to catch up with you."
Xu Sheng was already a Title Douluo; to catch up with him was as difficult as scaling the heavens!
Moreover, Tang San didn't even know how far he could cultivate his own Blue Silver Grass, let alone the formidable Title Douluo!
Xiaowu, although shocked by Xu Sheng's strength, soon came back to her senses, and seeing the expression on Tang San's face, she knew that he had been greatly affected.
So she reached out her hand to his shoulder and comforted, "Xiaosan, don't give up! You won't lose to him!"
Tang San was slightly stunned, "Xiaowu..."
...
Xu Sheng's icy gaze swept over them, "Is this the standard of you Shrek Academy teachers? Pathetic!"
Then, with a clench of his hand, the pupils of Flander and the others who were frozen in place shook...
The next moment, they felt the world spinning around them...
The glaring white light made them involuntarily close their eyes...
When they opened them again...
The scene from a second ago in their minds was no longer there!
Now, surrounding them was the extreme heat that made one's skin dry and hot, as well as the Inferno of Slaughter, which shone with blood under a sunless sky.
In front of them, a roiling river full of the scent of blood and heat, where numerous Nine-Hearted Begonias were blooming brilliantly...
And the nutrients these Nine-Hearted Begonias were flourishing from were the vitality of Flander and the others, whose bodies were completely bound by the roots of the begonias!
Fine red crystalline particles were being continuously extracted from the bodies of Flander and the others, and the next moment they were devoured by the roots and stems...
And the more vitality they lost from their bodies, the more pain they endured from their souls.
At the beginning, the slight pain was but a mere mosquito bite...
Flander and the others had thought this was just a virtual soul skill that wouldn't cause any real harm...
But as time passed slowly for them in this place...
They realized something was amiss!
This indeed was a virtual realm! However, it would reflect the pain they suffered completely back onto their souls!
Flander suppressed the despair welling up inside him, his face full of fear as he said, "This sinister Nine-Hearted Begonia is absorbing our life force! And with every bit of life force we lose, our souls suffer even more intense pain!"
Zhao Wuji, who refused to believe in curses, clenched his teeth and kept trying to mobilize his Soul Power...
The support-class Soul Master Zhao Xin beside him sighed, "Wuji, stop wasting your energy. I reckon this soul skill forcefully pulled our souls here, unless your soul power rank is far higher than that guy's."
...
"Thump... Thump..." In the real world, Flander and the others started to have pale eyes, followed by them collapsing one after another on the ground...
Although only a few seconds had passed in the real world, in Xu Sheng's illusion, Flander and the others had been brutally tormented for months on end!
Especially with each passing moment, the soul attacks grew stronger. If it weren't for Xu Sheng finally retracting his soul skill,
it's likely that none of the people now lying on the ground would have remained sane!
Xu Sheng watched them coldly as they lay on the ground, then glanced at Ma Hongjun, who had fainted in his hands...
He lightly spat out a word afterward, "Trash."
The next moment, he tossed Ma Hongjun aside as if discarding garbage...
Ma Hongjun's fat body slammed heavily onto the ground, and a "crack" could be heard from his bones...
Oscar and Dai Mubai cried out in shock, "Dean! Fatty!"
The two hurried over to check on Flander and the others' breaths, and seeing they were still holding on, they breathed a sigh of relief...
Then they moved to Ma Hongjun's side, "Phew, thankfully, it's just a fracture!"
Tang San noticed that although Flander and the others had not sustained any visible injuries, their whitened pupils seemed to have endured great pain.
Could it be... An idea dawned on him...
He thought to himself, "Purple Demon Eyes!"
Tang San's eyes emitted a deep purple glow, and then he looked down at Flander and the others on the ground...
The next moment, Tang San confirmed, "As expected, it's a spiritual attack!"
If he wasn't mistaken, Xu Sheng must have used his ninth soul skill just now, which would mean that there is no way Flander and the others could have come out unscathed had he fully unleashed it!
Brother Sheng, he didn't go for a kill!...
If nothing unexpected happened, the reason he spared their lives must be for us!
Tang San's gaze shifted to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, and his eyes narrowed gradually...
...
After dealing with them, Xu Sheng walked towards Tang San and the others...
Xu Sheng, expressionless, patted Tang San on the shoulder, "Xiaosan, I'm going to leave soon. I've already erased the memories of these guys, but please take care of Ning Rongrong."
His next target was Slaughter City, but that place had Tang Chen, a level 99. Whether he could win was probably a fifty-fifty chance.
Tang San was momentarily stunned, then said resolutely, "Don't worry, Brother Sheng."
Brother Sheng's soul skill was actually capable of erasing others' memories!
