Chapter 454: He Asks for His Life

Bang...

The remaining thirty-plus percent of the power all slapped onto He Pingsheng's body.

At this instant, his body exploded directly.

Blood vessels burst!

Internal organs shattered!

Countless pieces of flesh splashed out.

Fortunately, He Pingsheng was a body-refining cultivator, and his Heavenly Tier 【Nine Poisons Refining Golden Body】 had already been refined to the eleventh layer of the Golden Core stage.

He wouldn't dare say that this body could resist a Soul Transformation stage attack, but resisting a Nascent Soul stage attack was no problem.

And now, this Soul Transformation strike was weakened by seventy percent of its power, and only the last thirty percent landed on him.

This kind of attack was several times stronger than a Nascent Soul stage attack.

Therefore, his body couldn't take it.

But...

He Pingsheng was like a meteor slapped onto the ground, but he didn't die.

He just lost an arm, half a leg, and had several shattered internal organs.

His spiritual sense was still relatively complete.

For a cultivator, as long as the spiritual sense is complete, the dantian is complete, the Golden Core is complete, and the Linggen is complete, everything else is just superficial wounds.

Coincidentally, He Pingsheng's were all still complete.

He struggled to take a top-tier Jin Gu Dan out of his ring with his spiritual sense and swallowed it in one gulp.

Then, his body tissue began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Jiang Yu above didn't seem to be in a hurry either, but waited slowly for He Pingsheng to recover his body.

But after a few breaths, He Pingsheng's face turned completely black.

Cracked...

The Golden Core cracked.

Not one, but all five Golden Cores of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth had cracks of varying sizes.

His body could no longer gather spiritual power.

However, Jiang Yu above his head still had one last strike that hadn't been used.

"Your Golden Core is shattered!" Jiang Yu said indifferently: "Even if you swallow a top-tier Jin Gu Dan, it can recover your superficial wounds, but the cracks on the Golden Core cannot be repaired in a short time!"

"In other words... like the strike just now, you definitely won't be able to take it!"

"Death is certain!"

Jiang Yu raised his hand indifferently.

He Pingsheng was about to cry.

He had that third-tier 【Solid Essence Pill】 on him to repair Golden Core cracks, but repair it now?

Impossible!

It couldn't be repaired in a short while, and even if it were repaired, he still had to store spiritual power in the dantian.

How could the opponent give him this chance.

But don't fear... there was still a backup plan.

"I hope Senior keeps his word!" He Pingsheng looked at Jiang Yu above his head: "After this third strike, retreat immediately..."

On He Pingsheng's soul, there was still a talisman.

That was a talisman that could be reborn: Inverted Yin-Yang Immortal Talisman.

Once he died, he could be reborn in another place.

It's just that He Pingsheng didn't know how far this rebirth distance was.

If it was only a few thousand miles, similar to that 【Teleportation Talisman】, it would be meaningless.

If the person rushed over, he would still die.

Don't look at Jiang Yu saying three attacks; He Pingsheng certainly didn't believe it.

If he didn't die, the opponent would definitely come to make up another strike.

Of course, if this talisman could teleport him as far as the Liang Kingdom Imperial Capital, then it wouldn't matter.

It all depended on the power of this Inverted Yin-Yang Talisman.

"Whew..." He Pingsheng took a deep breath, then closed his eyes.

No choice!

As an ant, he had no power to resist.

The Golden Core was shattered; how could he resist?

As for spiritual sense?

Hehehe... Soul Transformation, Soul Transformation; the other person's spiritual sense had already reached the level of turning the formless into the formed, and spiritual sense couldn't hurt the other person.

The gap was too big.

"Very good!" Jiang Yu said: "I keep my word; after this strike, whether you live or die, I will not act again!"

Boom...

This time, Jiang Yu didn't condense a large hand, but pointed a finger, and a huge finger about a hundred zhang long condensed in the void and fell toward He Pingsheng's head.

Just as He Pingsheng was preparing to be reborn, suddenly, the void fluctuated.

A withered old man appeared under that finger, and he put his hands together to chant a spell, neutralizing the power of Jiang Yu's strike.

He Pingsheng opened his eyes, "This... Master He Wen?"

That's right, the person who came here was one of the two Holy Lords on the Holy Mountain: Holy Lord He Wen.

Holy Lord He Wen was proficient in the laws of space.

Bang...

The power of this strike was neutralized by the Holy Lord with great magic power, turning into countless energy that surged through the heavens and earth, cutting across the world.

A hundred thousand zhang away, countless trees and rocks on the mountain range turned into powder under the aftermath of this energy.

Even quite a few small hilltops were destroyed and leveled by this energy.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable..." He Wen stood in the void, looked at Jiang Yu, and said: "Fellow Daoist Jiang Yu, can you give me some face and spare his life?"

Jiang Yu said: "This is a grievance between him and me; why does the Holy Lord act?"

He Wen smiled and said: "Hehehe... then may I ask, why did Fellow Daoist Jiang Yu act?"

Jiang Yu said: "This brat broke directly into our Great Qi Imperial Capital and killed five of our imperial princes!"

Holy Lord He Wen asked back: "Then may I ask why the imperial family imprisoned his sect for sixty years?"

At this, Jiang Yu couldn't answer.

"In the affairs of the world, one cannot escape the word 'reason'!" He Wen said indifferently: "You also know that it is extremely difficult to ascend to the Spirit Realm now?"

"If He Pingsheng grows up, he will be an extra force in the future; if he happens to find the space barrier leading to the Spirit Realm, the entire cultivation world will change because of it!"

"Therefore, I implore Fellow Daoist Jiang Yu to spare his life today!"

"Besides, there has long been a public consensus in this cultivation world that Soul Transformation cultivation is not allowed to act against junior disciples at will!"

"Holy Lord!" Jiang Yu cupped his hands and said: "It's not that I don't listen to the Holy Lord's words, it's just that this brat is gifted with extraordinary talent, has great divine abilities, and has a blood feud with my Qi Kingdom; the grudge has already been formed today, and if I let him go like this, my Liang Kingdom imperial family will have endless trouble in the future!"

"Hehehe..." He Wen smiled confidently and said: "Rest assured, with me here, I can ensure your Liang Kingdom imperial family is safe and sound!"

Jiang Yu was unwilling.

He looked at He Wen, then looked at He Pingsheng, and had to nod: "Very well, I will sell you some face today, Holy Lord!"

It wasn't selling face, but he knew himself that he was no match for He Wen.

In the cultivation world, strength is still respected.

"Wait..." He Pingsheng, who was lying on the ground, stood up and patted his butt: "Senior Jiang Yu, the Heaven-Defying Divine Spear already had a consensus during the Nine Countries Competition; this item now belongs to this junior, so please return it to me!"

When he was using the Heaven-Defying Divine Spear to resist just now, this spear was taken away by Jiang Yu.

"That's right!" The Holy Lord also spoke: "Back then during the Nine Countries Competition, your Qi Kingdom indeed settled the karma with him because of this matter!"

"Hmph..." Jiang Yu waved his hand and threw the Heaven-Defying Divine Spear over: "Take it!"

"Holy Lord!" Jiang Yu said again: "You just said that in the cultivation world, Soul Transformation experts are not allowed to act against junior disciples; if a Nascent Soul expert from my Qi Kingdom comes to hunt him down later, you won't act to stop it, right?"

He Wen smiled and said: "Naturally!" ===== CHAPTER 455 =====
