But this kind of pain is still within the range that Xiao Zhi can bear.
"I have cut off all the tiniest lines. Next, I will cut off the thicker lines." Xiao Zhi, in his soul state, said with a somewhat ethereal voice.
He was reporting the progress of his soul-slaying to Zhenlan Cannian.
The handsome man asked: "How do you feel?"
Xiao Zhi explained his current situation and feelings.
The handsome man said with a face: "It seems that the situation is not bad at the moment, you continue."
Xiao Zhi nodded and said, "Okay."
With a thought in Xiao Zhi's mind, the scalpel-like soul-cutting knife instantly grew several times in size, then turned into a golden afterimage, and struck at a hair extending from his body like lightning.
like lines.
The soul-cutting knife cut with lightning speed, easily cutting off the line.
The lines silently shattered into nothingness, and Xiao Zhi's soul body, which was emitting light golden light, also trembled slightly, and a trace of pain could not help but appear on his face.
With this cut, the pain he felt was at least several times greater than when he cut off those tiny lines before!
That feeling of emptiness, as if something had been lost, was at least several times stronger!
"This has just begun and you can't stand it anymore?" the handsome man said.
"No." Xiao Zhi shook his head and denied it.
Under the control of his mind, the light golden soul-slaying knife like a scalpel turned into a golden afterimage and slashed at another hair-like line next to it.
One after another.
Time passed by, no matter how long it took, these thousands of hair-like lines were cut off one by one by Xiao Zhi.
At this time, when Xiao Zhi looked inside his body, he could see that there were many more marks like needle pricks in his soul.
These marks like needle pricks were spread all over his body and could not be healed. Xiao Zhi's soul and body were fine, but once he made any movement, he would feel a burst of pain like needle pricks.
This is a kind of pain that originates from the soul. The pain is extremely clear and hits the heart directly.
"How do you feel?" the handsome man asked.
Xiao Zhi explained his situation and feelings.
The handsome man had a calm expression on his face and just said: "Go on."
"Okay." Xiao Zhi nodded.
Under the control of his thoughts, the soul-cutting knife's size increased tenfold in an instant, creating a beautiful golden afterimage in front of his eyes, and slashed towards a line thicker than a hair.
With one slash, the thread was cut into two pieces, and then collapsed into nothingness.
Xiao Zhi snorted, with a painful expression on his face.
The painful feeling when killing the soul has obviously increased again, at least several times stronger than before!
At the same time, somewhere in his soul, a trace like a needle prick emerged out of thin air, which seemed clearly visible.
Xiao Zhi waited for several seconds before he recovered.
"Is it okay?" the handsome man said.
"No problem, of course no problem." Xiao Zhi said.
He immediately controlled the soul-cutting knife with his mind, and struck it again, cutting off a line thicker than a hair.
When the knife went down, he grunted in pain again, and his body couldn't help but arch his back.
This bowing was not tight, and Xiao Zhi suddenly felt a burst of pain like needle pricks. The pain made his soul and body grin, and the facial features were squeezed together.
"Try not to move your soul body. Because of the soul killing, your soul body has become riddled with holes. If you move around, the pain will increase sharply." The handsome man's face floated to the side, reminding Xiao Zhi.
"I know..." Xiao Zhi said weakly.
This time, it took him more than ten seconds before he finally recovered and began to continue killing souls.
There are hundreds of lines like this that are thicker than hair around his soul.
In other words, if Xiao Zhi wanted to cut off all these lines, it would take hundreds of swords!
In the past, when Xiao Zhi used the soul-cutting knife to cut off the smallest lines, he could easily cut dozens of them in one second, but now, it often takes him more than ten seconds, or even dozens or hundreds of seconds.
It takes a few minutes to cut off a line.
Moreover, the pain during soul slaying is much more intense than at the beginning!
In this way, time passes by minute by minute.
Outside the frost barrier where Xiao Zhi's soul body is located, the pure land is still there. Venerable Kui and the others are sitting in the four corners of this pure land, trying hard to maintain the existence of this pure land.
The only difference is that there is one more person next to the demon Li Kuo.
The extra person is Xiao Zhi's physical body.
Xiao Zhi's physical body still maintained the posture of sitting cross-legged, with his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping soundly.
Outside the Pure Land, there is a space filled with terrifying high temperatures.
The high temperature of tens of thousands of degrees Celsius is enough to melt the hardest alloy in Xiao Zhi's world in an instant. Even Lingbao will be melted away under this terrifying high temperature.
In addition to the terrifying high temperature, there is also extremely terrifying high pressure here. If this high pressure were applied to an ordinary person, the ordinary person would probably be crushed instantly, and even the bones would be crushed and crushed into a ball of flesh.
In such an extremely harsh environment, even an extremely powerful Nascent Soul peak-level martial artist would not be able to survive by relying solely on the strength of his physical body. He would not be able to last long before he would be overwhelmed by the terrifying high temperature here
High pressure is used to refine everything.
In this extremely harsh environment, the demon Li Kuo alone could not protect Xiao Zhi completely.
It can be said that without the joint support of Venerable Kui and others, Xiao Zhi would not be able to kill the soul here at all, and would only be trapped here alive.
Inside the Dutian Xuansha Furnace, there is high temperature and pressure, and the environment is extremely harsh. Outside the Dutian Xuansha Furnace, it is a different scene.
Here there are green mountains and green waters, and a pleasant climate. A bronze alchemy furnace that is more than ten feet tall is emitting a faint cyan light and is floating a few feet above the ground, rotating slowly.
Taixuzi was sitting cross-legged in the air, continuously injecting true energy into the Dutian Xuansha Furnace.
"Master, Lingshi." A rather respectful voice said.
As soon as he finished speaking, thousands of spirit stones appeared out of thin air in front of Tai Xuzi.
Taixuzi waved his sleeves, collected the spirit stone, and said calmly: "How is the situation outside?"
A venerable member of the Shenmen Taixu lineage said: "The disappearance of Xiaozhi and Kui Laogui has attracted the attention of the Yuxu lineage. The Yuxu lineage and the Nascent Soul cultivators they recruited,
The counterattack against Xuanming Kingdom has been stopped, and the offensive has turned into a defensive one. Venerable Li Yuan returned to Cangzhou Daocheng with two loose cultivators, Xuan Cangzi and Xuan Chenzi. After that, many monks came from
Cangzhou Daocheng rushed out and began to search south."
"Have they ever suspected us?" Tai Xuzi said calmly.
"There will definitely be suspicion, but so what if they are suspicious, they have no evidence." A venerable person from the Taixu lineage of Shenmen said with a smile.
"That's right." Tai Xuzi smiled lightly.
"Master, what Yuxu's lineage relies on is nothing more than Xiaozhi. Now that Xiaozhi is in your elixir furnace, Master, it is doomed. Without Xiaozhi's Yuxu lineage, it will be vulnerable to a single blow.
Don't..." As he said that, Tai Xuzi's disciple made a gesture of wiping his neck.
A Venerable Shenmen echoed: "Taixuzi, after this series of things, the Yuxu lineage has long regarded my Taixu lineage as enemies. Instead of waiting for them to take revenge, we might as well strike first and destroy them."
Lose this Yuxu lineage."
Taixuzi pondered for a moment, but then shook his head and said: "The Shenmen is divided into three branches. This is the master's decision. If Yuxu's branch died in my hands, it would be better if the master could not come back. Once Emperor Xuanming
What you said is untrue. When the master comes back one day, he will not spare me. Please don’t mention this matter again."
"Yes, Master."
"Yes, Tai Xuzi."
"The Yuxu meridian is not as bad as ringworm and scabies, so there is nothing to worry about. It is the Qingxu meridian. You should ask people to pay more attention to it. My junior brother is not a fuel-efficient lamp." Taixuzi said.
"Yes, Taixuzi, I have already arranged for my disciples to keep an eye on the Qingxu lineage. If there is any change, we will know it immediately." A respected person from the Taixu lineage said.
"That's very good." Taixuzi nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, in the real world where Xiao Zhi lives, the top leaders of various countries have become a mess because of Xiao Zhi's loss of contact.
Xiao Zhi had been out of contact for several hours, and he could not be contacted through the sound transmission jade talisman. He asked Hu Yang to try to contact Xiao Zhi through Xiao Zhi's Yuanlong clone, but he was also unable to contact Xiao Zhi.
The Army of All Beings even sent people outside the nutrition warehouse where Xiao Zhi was, calling him outside the nutrition warehouse, but still received no response.
That's all. Not long ago, Xiao Zhi's Yuanlong clone, which was controlled by Hu Yang, suddenly collapsed without any warning, turned into a black mist, and dissipated into the air.
middle.
Hu Yang, who was on patrol at the front line of the National War at that time, was frightened to death by this sudden turn of events. He quickly flew back to a safe area within the country, and then logged off and reported the matter to the All Living Beings Army.
The sudden collapse of Yuanlong's clone aroused great attention from the Xia Kingdom's all-sentient army and even high-level officials from all over the world.
Because this means that Xiao Zhi's current situation is not optimistic...
Nowadays, Xiao Zhi is already regarded as a figure like a magic needle in the world where he lives. Once he makes a mistake, the consequences will be serious and unimaginable!
This matter is so serious that after the top leaders of various countries learned about it, they did not even dare to disclose it to the public. Instead, they ordered that the matter be made confidential, prohibited from being spread outside the country, and prohibited from being posted on the Internet.
Because once this matter becomes known to the general public, it will most likely trigger large-scale social unrest. At that time, the social order that countries have finally stabilized may become chaotic again.
Fortunately, Xiao Zhi's soul lamp is still there.
The soul lamp is still there, which means that Xiao Zhi is at least alive now.
The situation is not too bad.
As long as you don't die, there is still hope.
Because of Xiao Zhi's sudden disappearance, the counterattack planned by the army of sentient beings and governments around the world has come to a standstill.
All military operations have stopped, and the player's offensive against Xuanming Kingdom has turned into a defensive one. The All Creatures Army only has a small amount of mid-to-high-end combat power left to maintain the front line, and the remaining mid-to-high-end combat power has been given to them.
Sent to search for traces of Xiao Zhi.
Start from Cangzhou Road and search southward.
Not only is Xiao Zhi missing, but Yuxu's Nascent Soul cultivators Venerable Kui and Shi Chong are also missing. The staff committee of the All Living Beings Army believes that they should have disappeared together, and even the culprit who caused Xiao Zhi's disappearance is
Based on the information gathered from all parties, the staff committee of the All-Sentient Army has already made a rough guess.
The culprit behind Xiao Zhi's disappearance is most likely Taixuzi from the Taixu lineage of Dachang Shenmen!
Tai Xuzi is not at the headquarters of Dachang Shenmen now. He has disappeared. I don’t know whether he is in retreat or where he went.
Also disappearing with Taixuzi were several sages from the Taixu lineage of the Shenmen. These disappeared sages from the Shenmen were either Taixuzi's disciples or confidants.
Under the current circumstances, the sudden disappearance of Tai Xuzi and his confidants is naturally very suspicious.
However, just knowing this is useless.
Although during this period of time, the Xia Kingdom's All-Sentient Army and government organizations from other countries have arranged for many monk players in Shenmen Taixu's lineage, these players are not strong enough and are not qualified to know Taixuzi.
whereabouts.
Therefore, the army of sentient beings could only cast a wide net and send a large number of monk players from Cangzhou Road to search for traces of Xiao Zhi, hoping to find Xiao Zhi in this way.
The efficiency of doing this is naturally very low, and there is nothing the army of sentient beings can do about it.
Time is still passing by minute by minute.
I don't know how much time has passed, but there are only about twenty lines left in Xiao Zhi's body.
These twenty-odd lines are all like thick wool, extremely thick. Xiao Zhiyu can cut off one of them every one, two quarters of an hour or even an hour with his soul-cutting knife.
At this time, Xiao Zhi's soul body looked like he had smashed a glass sculpture on the ground, breaking it into pieces, and then glued the pieces together again. Although the appearance was barely restored, the inside had changed.
He was scarred and riddled with holes, as if he was about to collapse at any moment.
Nowadays, he is suffering from pain all the time. This kind of pain is like the pain of Ten Thousand Needles Bite, but it is dozens of times more painful than the Ten Thousand Needle Bite Body!
If it were an ordinary person, he would probably have collapsed from the pain.
Xiao Zhi, however, was still struggling to hold on with his tenacious willpower.
He felt that he had forgotten a lot of things that were important to him, but he couldn't remember what he had forgotten.
This made his heart feel empty and confused.
"Keep on, keep on killing! As long as all these threads on your body are cut off, you will be considered successful in killing the soul. Your soul will be transformed, and all the memories you have lost will return to you!" said a voice.
This is Zhenlan's sad voice.
Xiao Zhi, in his soul state, floated motionless a few inches above the ground, like a pale golden glass statue full of cracks and almost collapsed. His voice seemed weak and illusory: "Who are you?"
