Chapter 531: Qin Jian's Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring

"Ugh..."

Even though this Illusion World was constructed by himself, and what appeared here were only each other's spirit bodies, the tearing that occurred so many times still caused him extreme pain.

However, he only broke out in a cold sweat, clutching his chest and breathing deeply, then raised his head and smiled slightly at Hu Liena: "Is it enough?"

"Not enough! It will never be enough!"

Amidst the roaring, Hu Liena swung her sword repeatedly at Qin Jian's limbs like a madwoman, leaving his entire body covered in lacerations, looking exceptionally miserable.

"Found it!"

Na'er suddenly said with pleasant surprise: "Qin Jian, I found it. There is a Divine Power Crystal inside her spirit body; that is the thing that has been influencing her all along!"

"Divine Power Crystal? She is currently entirely a spirit body, so where is that Divine Power Crystal?" Qin Jian asked impatiently.

Na'er said: "Fortunately, it is an Illusion World, and fortunately, she is a spirit body, otherwise even I wouldn't be able to locate it so quickly... That Divine Power Crystal is at the throat of the spirit body."

"The throat?"

Qin Jian's expression shifted: "It just so happens that I need to kill her once in the Illusion World..."

"Using Spirit power to attack will only be effective, you must be careful." Na'er reminded him.

Qin Jian nodded gently.

"Is it enough?"

Although blood was streaming from his body, his appearance of smiling through the blood deeply touched Hu Liena's heart.

"Why! Why won't you just get angry at me!"

With tears of blood covering her cheeks, she was like a desperate little beast, hating herself and hating this world.

"It's very hard, isn't it... Nana..."

Qin Jian reached out his blood-red hand and placed it on her face: "This world is too cruel to both you and me, it's very hard for you too, isn't it..."

"It really is... so hard..."

Hu Liena's legs went weak, and she sat down on the ground.

Qin Jian sat down with her, still keeping his gaze level with hers.

"Qin Jian, let's die together, okay?"

Hu Liena looked at his blood-covered body, unable to accept the fact that she had hurt him to this extent, and actually thought of a mutual destruction ending.

"Loving you... it's really... really so hard... so hard..."

Her face was covered in tears of blood.

At what point of utter despair would she not want to live...

Rather than saying it was because of Qin Jian's philandering, it was more because she could not accept the fact that she had hurt Qin Jian so much, and therefore, she was escaping.

"Okay."

Qin Jian gave her almost no time to hesitate, grabbing her sword-wielding hand with his left hand and condensing a Soul Dagger with his right.

"Don't!"

Amidst Hu Liena's exclamation, Qin Jian let the short sword in her left hand pierce his chest, while simultaneously, the Soul Dagger in his right hand instantly pierced through her throat.

"Hum! ——"

The so-called Divine Power Crystal looked as evil as a magic core in Qin Jian's eyes, and the Soul Dagger shattered it very easily.

Although it could influence Hu Liena, it did not possess powerful strength itself; it was just a subtle influence imposed upon the Spirit, so it dissipated upon touching Qin Jian's Spirit attack.

"Sss... sss..."

The Love Mist Illusion gradually faded away like a peeled eggshell, revealing two figures half-kneeling in the center of the Domain.

"Hoo... hoo..."

The two of them breathed rapidly.

"Hum!"

Just at this moment, a pitch-black Soul Ring rose from Hu Liena's body, suddenly expanding with an astonishing momentum.

But it disappeared again the next moment, because an even more violent fluctuation came from ahead.

"Hum... Boom!"

The scarlet light stunned everyone, and then, a massive red Soul Ring expanded from Qin Jian's body.

When it appeared, the entire sky seemed to turn dim, and faint lightning flashed through the clouds, illuminating everyone's eyes.

"Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring!"

Yue Guan's voice carried deep shock, as well as envy.

"His existence completely breaks the rules; no one can withstand a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring at the seventh Soul Ring," Gui Mei sighed.

"You forgot, didn't Nana intend to absorb a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring before?" Yue Guan said.

Gui Mei shook his head: "I don't know, I just feel they are all strange, just like the Soul Ring on Nana now, I have no idea where it came from."

"Perhaps it has to do with the Pope, after all, he is an existence we cannot see through, maybe he can create a Soul Ring for Nana?" Yue Guan said.

Gui Mei could not help but ask curiously: "Didn't the two of them break up before? Why would he help?"

"I am worried that the Pope's calculations have fallen through, look at them..."

Gui Mei looked over following Yue Guan's slender finger, and saw Qin Jian stopping the bleeding of the wound on his chest, his expression devoid of any anger, but instead filled with gentleness.

"What... exactly... happened..."

Hu Liena's face was full of disbelief: "Why... why are we still alive?"

Qin Jian reached out and touched her head, saying softly: "It's okay now Nana, it's all over."

"Over?"

Hu Liena said blankly: "What does it mean that it's over?"

"What it means that it's over is..."

Qin Jian suddenly pulled her gently into his embrace: "Those things are all in the past; don't keep them on your mind anymore."

"Qin Jian, I can't continue to help you shield the rules for the time being; I also need to recover for a bit..."

"Pfft..."

Before Na'er could finish her sentence, a mouthful of blood suddenly sprayed from Qin Jian's mouth, and he hurriedly retreated, separating from Hu Liena.

"I actually forgot about this..."

He helplessly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said: "Nana, from now on we perhaps cannot be as close as before, but other things can remain unchanged."

"Other things remain unchanged? What do you mean?"

Hu Liena's mind was currently a complete muddle.

"It means that although we are not in a relationship as lovers, our hearts are still together," Qin Jian said softly.

"You... are you still willing to be with me?"

Hu Liena's face carried a look of bewilderment: "I have done so many excessive things; are you still willing?"

Qin Jian suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said to Na'er in his heart: "Can I tell her some things about gods now? Will I be monitored?"

"Rest assured, even gods cannot keep watching constantly; that would consume too much. The god behind her likely only exerts influence occasionally."

Na'er said: "Moreover, we are here now, which falls within the range my true form can influence; I can completely guarantee that no god can eavesdrop."

Qin Jian nodded, his mind put at ease.

He thought for a moment and said to Hu Liena: "Nana, in the future when you undergo the Assessment, remember not to let the Divine Power Crystal enter your body again."

"Divine Power Crystal?"

Hu Liena was slightly stunned.

"Yes, haven't you noticed that your temperament has changed drastically recently? Actually, it's because you've been influenced," Qin Jian said.

"You mean someone is plotting against me behind my back?"

Hu Liena's gaze became filled with coldness: "So this God Trial can actually affect my disposition; then I'd rather not have it!"

"Don't..."

Qin Jian suddenly said: "You don't need to reject it, because without this, your strength cannot grow so quickly, and besides... I need you to keep it."
