Killing God - Chapter 372

Chapter 372 Rules
Jiang Hongguang’s entire body seemed to have been shattered by He Xiaomei’s words. His face was deathly pale, and his lips trembled. It was as if his dream of many years had been shattered, and the heavens and earth had collapsed. He Xiaomei couldn’t help but subconsciously take a step back when she saw the expression on her face, feeling a little scared in her heart.

Jiang Hongguang took a few deep breaths and suddenly whispered to He Xiaomei, “Little Mei, Little Mei, don’t be like this. We’ve been together for so many years. Could it be that the friendship of these years be broken by you?”

He Xiaomei’s lips twitched. She didn’t know what to say for a moment, but Jiang Hongguang thought that she was moved by her words. He took a step forward and grabbed He Xiaomei’s hand. “Xiaomei, at most I won’t ask about that anymore. I won’t ask again. Let’s each forgive each other for once, shall we?” Jiang Hongguang said.

Before he finished speaking, He Xiaomei seemed to be startled. Her expression turned cold. She took a step back and pulled out her hand from his palm. She whispered, “Senior Brother Jiang, I said that I didn’t do anything wrong and don’t need your forgiveness. I’ve already made it clear about what happened just now. I hope you can respect yourself and don’t disturb me again.”

As she spoke, she turned around and was about to leave. Jiang Hongguang stood there stiffly, as if he was struck by five thunderbolts. However, after a moment, he still seemed to be unable to accept this reality. His muscles twisted and he suddenly rushed towards He Xiaomei. He grabbed He Xiaomei’s arm and said repeatedly, “Little Mei, Little Mei, listen to me, listen to me …”

He Xiaomei looked at Jiang Hongguang’s current expression and words that seemed to be somewhat crazy. She was secretly shocked and subconsciously wanted to leave this person. At the same time, she also secretly regretted how she had gotten so close to him in the past. However, she struggled a few times, but Jiang Hongguang clung onto her tightly. After a few times, she was unable to break free, and Jiang Hongguang’s body instead had the tendency to carry her over.

He Xiaomei’s face turned pale. The two of them, Shen Shi and Sun You, who had noticed this place, were also stunned. For a moment, they were unable to distinguish what had happened between the two of them. However, at this moment, a figure suddenly stepped out from the corner of the stone house. He stepped to He Xiaomei’s side one after another and heard a deep shout. The man’s palm rose and fell, carrying a few strong winds. It was actually a palm that directly opened Jiang Hongguang’s arm.

He Xiaomei was suddenly rescued. After loosening his grip, he hurriedly cried out in alarm and retreated. Jiang Hongguang and Shen Shi Sun You were both shocked at the same time. When they saw this, they saw that the Lingxiao Sect disciple who had suddenly appeared to save He Xiaomei was actually Sun You’s cousin. He had inexplicably lost in the exam a few days ago, thus ruining Sun Heng’s great future.

The appearance of the Sun Clan disciples was not bad. Sun You was the same, and Sun Heng was the same. However, looking from the side, his face still seemed to be somewhat haggard and pale. It seemed that the blow was really not small, and he had not fully recovered until now. However, compared to the state where he had just lost and almost lost his mind, Sun Heng’s vitality was clearly much better than before, and it didn’t seem to be much of a problem anymore.

Sun Heng’s palm blocked Jiang Hongguang’s endless entanglement, and He Xiaomei immediately retreated like a frightened bird with a look of fear on her face. When Sun Heng saw He Xiaomei’s expression, a trace of anger flashed across his face. He took a step forward and used his body to block He Xiaomei behind him. He looked at Jiang Hongguang and sneered,

“What kind of ability does a man have to bully a weak woman?”

Jiang Hongguang was suddenly interrupted by him. He was also surprised. But then he saw He Xiaomei hiding behind Sun Heng. He didn’t dare to look at himself in panic, and a small hand even grabbed onto Sun Heng’s back. In an instant, a wave of sour intent surged into his heart. His face was pale with anger, and he stared at Sun Heng fiercely. Then, he lowered his voice and roared angrily at He Xiaomei, “Is it him? Is it him? Do you think it’s him or not?”

He Xiaomei subconsciously shook her head and her body trembled slightly. It seemed that she was truly frightened by Jiang Hongguang. Sun Heng looked at He Xiaomei’s appearance and his anger grew even stronger. He suddenly took large strides forward and directly extended his hands to push Jiang Hongguang.

Jiang Hongguang did not expect Sun Heng to suddenly act so rudely and directly. He pushed him off guard and staggered back three or four steps. He finally managed to stand firm. Just as he was about to raise his head and berate, Sun Heng suddenly rushed over. He grabbed his neck and put it close to his face. He harshly said,

“Stay away from her in the future. Otherwise, be careful that I don’t treat you politely!”

With that, he shook his hand forcefully and Jiang Hongguang staggered again, almost falling down. Sun Heng ignored him, turned around and walked back to He Xiaomei’s side, asking in a low voice, “Are you alright?”

He Xiaomei glanced at him, her lips twitched twice, and then she slowly shook her head.

Jiang Hongguang, who was standing at the side, saw Sun Heng and He Xiaomei’s seemingly intimate movements. He was furious and his face was pale. He felt a buzzing sound in his mind as he rushed forward to fight Sun Heng to the death. However, a moment later, Sun Heng suddenly turned around and coldly looked at him. For some reason, his imposing manner was stifled.

Sun Heng and he were also rookies who joined Lingxiao Sect. They had spent five years together in Qingyu Island back then, so Jiang Hongguang naturally knew and knew Sun Heng’s distinguished family background. However, whether it was He Xiaomei or him, they did not have any relationship with the Sun Clan’s eldest young master, so they were all safe and sound.

However, Sun Heng suddenly appeared today and intervened between He Xiaomei and him. Judging from He Xiaomei’s expression, Sun Heng and He Xiaomei were obviously not strangers. Jiang Hongguang was extremely angry in his heart. However, he quickly remembered the family background behind Sun Heng. More importantly, Sun Heng also had a grandfather, Sun Ming Yang, who was highly respected and influential in the Lingxiao Sect sect. If he offended him rashly, would he be able to establish himself in Lingxiao Sect in the future?

Jiang Hongguang’s face instantly turned ashen, his eyes filled with despair. He looked at Sun Heng, then at He Xiaomei, his eyes filled with pleading. He Xiaomei gritted her teeth and turned her head away with a trace of disgust.

Jiang Hongguang was finally completely desperate. He opened his mouth and said a few words in a hoarse voice, but his voice was so deep and vague that no one could hear what he wanted to say. After a moment, he finally staggered away.

Seeing this person leave, Sun Heng shook his head. He turned around and looked at He Xiaomei. He wanted to reach out to comfort her, but he hesitated. In the end, he slowly put down his palm and whispered, “Alright, alright, I’ll take you to the side to rest, right?”

He Xiaomei nodded silently.

Sun Heng heaved a sigh of relief. He turned around and was about to take a step when he was suddenly stunned and saw Shen Shi and Sun You standing not far away.

The gazes of the three collided in midair, but none of them spoke. The atmosphere seemed to have suddenly turned cold for a moment. Sun Heng’s gaze quickly landed on Sun You. An extremely complicated expression flashed through the depths of his eyes, as if jealousy carried some pain that went deep into his bones, causing his body to tremble slightly.

Shen Shi gently nodded at him. Sun Heng’s expression was somewhat indifferent, but he still nodded in the end. As for Young Friend Sun, his gaze was very complicated at the same time, mixed with indescribable emotions, and he was speechless.

Afterwards, Sun Heng turned around and left with He Xiaomei. He did not look back.

“I didn’t expect that he would actually come to the Hundred Mountains Realm.” Walking side by side on the road around the ancient teleportation array, Sun You suddenly said to Shen Shi indifferently.

Shen Shi nodded and said, “A few days after that incident, I also heard about his appearance. At that time, I also felt that it would take a long time for your big brother to recover. I didn’t expect that he would be much faster than I expected.”

“If my grandfather and uncle saw him like this, would you change your mind again?” Sun You shook his head and smiled with a hint of self-mockery.

Shen Shi glanced at him and comforted him, “Don’t think too much. Right now, you have already grown up. Your personal disciple has the upper hand. In the future, you only need to work hard to cultivate. If you are lucky enough to go to Wentian Secret Realm and find some opportunities, then naturally, no one can steal your things. You don’t need to worry about it. Otherwise, you will be looking for trouble.”

After a long moment of silence, Young Friend Sun slowly nodded his head. However, there was still a gloomy haze in his eyes.

Everyone in Lingxiao Sect waited here for a while. About half an hour later, several Lingxiao Sect Origin Core Realm Daoists led by Elder Sun Ming Yang appeared again. Dozens of Divine Concept experts also followed behind them. Among them were Du Tiejian, Gan Wenqing, Wang Gen, and the other three Ling Xiao Swords. Sun Heng’s father, Sun Hong, also occupied a prominent position in the queue.

Moments later, the detailed rules of the Hundred Mountain Realm trials were passed down. These Origin Core Realm Adepts had probably just finalized them not long ago.

The location of the trial was four hundred miles to the east of Ling Xiao City, with a “Black Crow Ridge” as the center, a vast area with a radius of a thousand kilometers was drawn out. This place was rich in spiritual energy, rich in spirit herbs and spirit mines, as well as a variety of ferocious demonic beasts. It could be said that the risks and benefits were all high.

All the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect Origin Condensation Realm who participated in the trial would enter this region, but the time limit was only fifteen days, half of what everyone had imagined. During these fifteen days, there would not be any cultivators from Lingxiao Sect that exceeded the Origin Condensation Realm entering this region. After the expiration of this period, the criteria for determining whether all disciples could obtain the qualifications to head to the Four Great Halls were similarly unexpectedly crude and simple.

‘”The harvest, all kinds of spirit materials brought back from Black Crow Ridge, spirit herbs and spirit ores, including useful parts of demonic beasts and demonic bodies. All spirit materials that can be converted into spirit crystals and used as cultivation resources are counted. Whoever brings back more spirit materials will win.”

Elder Sun Ming Yang’s words echoed in the ears of every Lingxiao Sect disciple, causing the vast majority of people to have astonishment on their faces. Some people frowned, while others revealed a thoughtful expression.

However, Elder Sun Ming Yang’s words continued, “The reason for this is because once you enter Wentian Secret Realm in the future, there will be no restrictions. Everything will depend on your own opportunities, abilities, and … eyesight.” He smiled, paused for a moment, and then calmly said,

“In addition, there is something special about the Black Crow Ridge. We have methods to verify all the spirit materials produced there. Therefore, if you want to use the spirit materials you have with you to fill the gap, don’t make a mistake.”
