This was not the first time that Chengshuo and Patriarch Huyan had fought each other, and they already knew each other's moves.
In addition, both sides' sneak attacks were expected by each other, so their seemingly dangerous attacks failed to work.
When the attack failed, Patriarch Huyan and Chenghuo immediately retreated and distanced themselves.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Patriarch Huyan took the initiative to speak: "Actually, I have always wanted to know: Why can you still talk when you two have clearly become demons?"
Chengshuo did not respond and only asked: "I thought you would just lead people and run away from the sect, but you didn't run away."
"I..." Patriarch Huyan was about to respond.
But Chengshuo then said: "So, if I guessed correctly, there should be something very important to you in Xuantian Sect... You can't take this thing away, so you can only stay in the sect. They even risked their lives to come out to find us in order to delay!"
! !
Hearing this, Patriarch Huyan was shocked, but he still managed to calm down and said: "I..."
However, Chengshuo did not give Patriarch Huyan a chance to speak. The moment he spoke, he took a hard bite of the pulp from the 'Dao Fruit'.
The pulp turns into spiritual energy, which travels through the living limbs and bones.
Blessed by the spiritual power of the pulp, he immediately clenched his left hand into a fist and used the 'retrieve objects from the air' spell, while his right hand controlled the flying sword to attack Patriarch Huyan.
——After several battles, Xinghuo has become proficient in the use of the 'retrieval of objects from the air' spell.
Now, he can control the flying sword and use the "retrieve objects from the air" spell at the same time, making it difficult for people to guard against him.
In this way, Patriarch Huyan was already under great pressure when facing Cheng Sheng alone, not to mention the fact that Cheng Sheng was always eyeing the Iron Bull after him.
The two of them joined forces and found Patriarch Huyan's flaw in just a few breaths.
'Click'!
With a soft sound, Patriarch Huyan, who was pierced through the chest by Chenghuo's sword, was hit by Chenghuo's 'retrieval of objects from the air' spell.
He vomited blood, and the cracks on his face began to increase at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Not long after, the cracks burst, and Patriarch Huyan’s entire face turned into fragments and fell to the ground little by little...
Seeing this strange scene, Cheng Shuo couldn't help but froze on the spot.
"Do not kill me!"
Seeing Cheng Huo stunned, Patriarch Huyan began to frantically pick up the debris on the ground, and said very fast: "Kill me, my mother will not let you go!"
"Your mother?"
A trace of fear flashed across Chengshuo's eyes.
But fear is fear.
After being stunned for a short time, while Patriarch Huyan was seriously injured, he decisively used another 'retrieval of objects from the air' spell.
This time, the severely injured Ancestor Huyan could no longer dodge, and his body became an extremely twisted posture under the huge force.
However, even though he was injured like this, Patriarch Huyan still survived.
The fragments on his face fell even more, but he still had the energy to get up from the ground.
Ancestor Huyan faced Chengshuo and knelt on his knees: "You...I want..."
But before Patriarch Huyan finished speaking, Tieniu rushed forward decisively and gave the opponent a hard kick on the head: "If you take off your head, you won't be able to live."
Tieniu's kick directly knocked off Patriarch Huyan's head.
At this moment, Patriarch Huyan, who was about to kneel before Chengshuo, finally died completely.
His head rolled to the ground, his eyes widened with a trace of unwillingness...
On the martial arts field.
The few Xuantian Sect disciples who were watching the excitement from a distance saw their ancestors defeated and fled in all directions like birds and beasts.
Although survival is strong, it is impossible to kill everyone present.
So he retreated and did the next best thing, chasing in one direction and casually grabbing a Xuantian Sect disciple.
The disciple was knocked to the ground by the 'Retrieval of Objects from the Air' technique, with a look of horror on his face: "Don't kill me, please don't kill me!"
Chengshuo had no expression on his face and said coldly: "Let me ask you, who is the identity of the person I just killed?"
The disciple hurriedly said: "Ancestor, he is the ancestor of our sect, his surname is Huyan!"
Chengshuo added: "Besides him, who else is in charge of affairs in your sect? The kind who can speak well."
The disciple blurted out: "There are also senior brothers Hang Baixia and senior brother Mingyu. The one named Mingyu was killed by you just now. As for Hang Baixia..."
The disciple thought for a moment and said, "I haven't seen him recently..."
After saying that, he looked at Chengshuo in horror, fearing that his answer would make Chengshuo dissatisfied.
Chengshuo frowned and asked: "If I guessed correctly, the Huyan ancestor who was just killed by me should have a mother, right?"
"Huh??" The disciple was confused: "I really don't know about this!"
Chengshuo stared at the other person's eyes for a moment, and when he saw that the other person's expression didn't look like he was lying, he turned around and said, "Then where do your ancestors usually stay? In other words, is there any place in this sect that you can't live without?" Can’t go there normally? Can’t go there?”
The disciple said without thinking: "Secret Realm! Our ancestors usually stay in the secret realm, and we can't go there. Only Senior Brother Hang Baixia and Senior Brother Mingyu are allowed to stay outside the secret realm to practice."
Chenghuo frowned: "What? Is there any benefit to practicing outside the secret realm?"
"Yes!" said the disciple: "There is much more 'power of pain' near the secret realm than in other places in the sect."
"Take me over there and have a look."
"Ah good...."
…
Xuantian Sect, the retreat place of Patriarch Huyan.
Under the leadership of the captured disciple, Chengshuo and Tieniu came to the vicinity of the so-called 'secret realm'.
It’s not just why either.
As soon as Chengshuo arrived, he saw black gas floating around, as rich as substance.
These black gases are colorless and odorless. After inhaling them into the body, one can clearly feel a sense of 'painful emotion' mixed with them.
Yes, it's emotion.
This is a special gas that contains human emotions....
Looking at the black energy around him, Cheng Sheng's face showed a clear look: "So, is this black energy the 'power of pain' that your Xuantian Sect absorbed during your cultivation?"
"Black energy?" The Xuantian Sect disciple asked curiously: "Where is the black energy here? Is the 'power of pain' black?"
Cheng Sheng said nothing, but looked at Tieniu aside.
The latter also shook his head: "I didn't see the 'black air' you mentioned around here either."
Chengshuo thought for a while and then said to the Xuantian Sect disciple: "You can practice here and absorb the 'power of pain' for me to see."
"Ah good...."
The disciple was stunned for a moment, and then he followed Chengshuo's instructions and assumed a more comfortable position to absorb the 'power of pain'.
And everything that happened next was just as Cheng Sheng had guessed:
The moment this Xuantian Sect disciple was operating his technique, the surrounding black energy began to decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye, and gradually merged into this disciple's body.
From this, it is not difficult to see that the black gas around is indeed the so-called 'power of pain'.
It is equivalent to the "spiritual power" in Xianxia novels and can be absorbed by anyone, but it seems that only one person alive can see it with the naked eye.
As for the source of these 'painful powers'...
Thinking of this, Chengshuo said to the disciple: "Where do you usually collect, or absorb, the 'power of pain'?"
"Well..."
The disciple said: "In addition to capturing people from nearby villages and torturing them so that they can generate the power of pain, the secret realm where the ancestor retreated will also continuously generate the power of pain."
