One Pound Meat, One More Attribute Point

Chapter 169: 151: Spiritual Domain, Terrifying Giant Whale!

In the distance, atop a tower controlled by the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Wang Xindong, Zhou Guiyu, Luo Shuang, Li Hongxiu, and others were also watching this battle.

After all, a powerhouse of the Heavenly Deceit Realm was a legendary being. Even for these elders and Deputy Governors, such beings were incredibly mysterious; they hoped to gain something from this battle.

But unexpectedly—

"A powerhouse of the Heavenly Deceit Realm was taken down so easily!" Wang Xindong exclaimed with wide eyes, unable to believe it, "I was actually worried about the Deputy Governor just before."

"He's so strong. It's just that every time the Deputy Governor fights, it's cataclysmic."

Zhou Guiyu also continually exclaimed, "The square was just repaired not long ago, and a good deal of money was spent. Now it has to be repaired all over again."

Luo Shuang's bright eyes slightly trembled, looking somewhat mischievously at Li Hongxiu.

She stretched out her hand and poked Li Hongxiu's pale, cool cheek, as the young girl lifted her head to look expressionlessly at the older sister next to her.

Li Hongxiu had been personally captured by Su Heng and detained in the Demon Suppression Tower before joining the Demon Suppression Bureau. This was no secret to these Deputy Governors. Since it was an order directly from the Deputy Governor, there was nothing wrong with Li Hongxiu.

But regarding some of Li Hongxiu's past experiences, everyone was inevitably curious.

Hearing the two women's conversation.

Zhou Guiyu and Wang Xindong also looked over curiously.

Li Hongxiu's gaze became vacant, as if lost in memories. Then she shivered as terrifying memories flooded her mind. She didn't answer and instead walked quietly to the corner of the tower's upper floor, squatting down in isolation, leaving Luo Shuang, Wang Xindong, and the others with only her lonely silhouette.

The three exchanged glances, and Luo Shuang felt somewhat embarrassed.

She tiptoed over, wanting to apologize and offer a word of comfort but didn't know what to say.

...

At the square beneath the Demon Suppression Tower, the dust settled.

Su Heng had decided not to deliver a fatal blow in the battle, as he needed Xie Linyuan's body to merge with demon corpses.

Of course, falling into Su Heng's hands alive was indeed a terrifying matter. The three disciples from the Demon Elephant School were a clear precedent of this.

Xie Linyuan's bones were severely shattered, but his strong will kept him conscious.

He struggled to turn his head to look at Su Heng.

Su Heng stood at the edge of the pit, arms crossed, the bright, clear moonlight casting a chilly glow on his imposing frame.

"If you knew your own end, would you still choose to struggle, bringing upon yourself more pain and despair?" Su Heng asked calmly, looking at the infamous elder of the Demon Elephant School.

"Hehehe..." Xie Linyuan grinned in pain.

Black blood gushed from his nose and mouth, staining his shattered jaw and chest in a ghastly manner.

"Do you think this battle ends here?" Xie Linyuan sneered in agony.

"Otherwise?" Su Heng shrugged, "You can't even move a finger, so what else can you do?"

"You are mistaken, you know too little about the Heavenly Deceit Realm."

Xie Linyuan's pupils were like the abyss, shining with a black light that swirled. "Everyone thinks that the secret technique of my Demon Elephant School lies in the physical training, but they are completely wrong. The real secret move of my Demon Elephant School lies in the spirit, especially after reaching the Heavenly Deceit level..."

"Have you heard of the evil technique of entrapping the soul?" Xie Linyuan's expression suddenly became serious.

"Huh!?" Su Heng frowned slightly.

Before he could react, he felt a slight sting in the center of his forehead. Soon after, the world before his eyes darkened and crumbled. When his disrupted vision cleared, he found himself no longer on the square but appeared on a cold, dark sea.

The surroundings were pitch-black, without sun or moon, only the cold and dark sea water from all sides.

The only light came from himself.

Su Heng looked down, spread his fingers, and, despite the change in environment, maintained the same bodily sensations. He thought for a moment and guessed that this place must be his Spiritual Domain.

"Whoosh!"

An incongruous sound broke the silence.

Su Heng looked up, following the sound, and saw another faint light appearing in the dark, void-like Spiritual Domain.

A robust body, gray-white robes.

A cold, emotionless face, and those sharply narrowed, piercing pupils.

"Xie Linyuan!" Su Heng greeted him warmly, without irritation or panic, "So this is your trump card, interesting."

"What do you take my Demon Elephant School for! Just looking at your condescending expression makes me sick." Xie Linyuan's face was filled with murderous intent, and his voice was chillingly cold, "This is a battlefield of the spirit, your physical prowess won't be of any use here."

"Die—Bang!"

Before he could finish speaking, Su Heng reached out and made a squeezing motion.

Xie Linyuan's body exploded into countless pieces of crimson flesh, which, in the next moment, like time reversing, swiftly reformed. Xie Linyuan's figure reappeared in front of Su Heng, but this time his expression was much more solemn.

"I never expected your innate spiritual power to be so formidable!" His expression became even more resentful as he bitterly said, "Damn it, heaven truly isn't fair."

"Talent, physique, and even powerful spiritual power—why do all the good things lie with you."
