Hell Emperor.

Chapter 300 Xia Wei-Confrontation
"What kind of skill is that..."

Seeing the might of the Heart-Destroying Demonic Palm, Jin Tai suddenly felt panic for no reason, and felt a chill running from the soles of his feet all the way up to his head.

Jin Tai had never heard of a martial art that became more powerful the more people were killed. He had only seen martial arts that increased the damage the enemy suffered the more people were killed. He had never seen such an evil martial art that turned killing into power.

However, when thinking about the Mara Palace behind these people, everything seems to make sense. Only people from the Mara Palace are worthy of such extremely cruel martial arts.

This discovery caused Jin Tai to lose confidence in his method of subduing demons and saving people from disasters.

The demon-suppressing and de-evil-saving troop can save evil spirits, but it cannot save these Shuras. How can the Shuras who kill people like crazy be devoured by the fire of karma? It is better to say that the murderous intent that soars into the sky is the Shuras' most effective weapon.

"You forced me to do this! I only wanted to take back the Soul-Suppressing Stone from my brother. That was a great gift prepared for the Formless Ghost King. Since you forced me to do this, I will give you a taste of the power of the Soul-Suppressing Stone!"

Jin Tai's eyes showed a bit of fierceness. He reached into his arms and took out a magic stone that was shining with golden light. With the blessing of the magic stone, a terrifying power that was not weaker than Xia Wei's immediately emerged from his body, and the golden light that made him subdue demons and overcome disasters became more condensed. The fierce power contained in it made everyone except Xia Wei couldn't help but take a few steps back.

After the Soul-Calming Stone appeared, Jin Tai felt more confident. The reason why he did not run away at the first moment was to take back the Soul-Calming Stone from Jin Sheng. It was a rare treasure. If Xia Wei and others had not forced him all the way, he would not have wanted to use the Soul-Calming Stone here.

"Soul-calming stone? He actually has a soul-calming stone on him?"

Others might not have reacted when they heard the name of the Soul-Calming Stone, but Ren Changhong's expression changed immediately. As a Shura, she certainly understood what the Soul-Calming Stone meant.

"What is the soul-calming stone?" Hua Xiaomei asked in confusion.

Before Ren Changhong could answer, something strange happened on the battlefield.

Xia Wei took a deep breath and swung her palm. The surrounding spiritual energy surged, causing the sky and the earth to change color. From a distance of hundreds of steps, she sent out a huge black palm print. The palm print whizzed past, making a shrill sound of breaking wind, and in almost an instant, it hit in front of Jin Tai.

From the pitch-black palm print, everyone felt an extremely sharp and merciless murderous intent. They had no doubt at all that even if any other practitioner at the same level as Xia Wei came here, they would not be able to take on this move.

The power of the Heart-Destroying Demon Palm will become stronger and stronger as the number of people killed by the user increases. It is an absolutely evil skill. Now that this evil skill is in Xia Wei's hands, it has demonstrated unparalleled power. With just one palm, the wind and clouds change color, and the heaven and earth wail.

"This Heart-Destroying Devil Palm is not something that ordinary people can control..."

Shen Qingge, who had a keen eye, naturally saw the problem with the Heart-Destroying Demonic Palm.

Ordinary people who practice this method can easily be controlled by the Heart Destroying Demon Palm and become evil demons who only know how to kill. Relying on killing to greatly improve the power of the method is a shortcut that ordinary people will definitely find difficult to refuse.

However, when this technique was put on Xia Wei, it seemed to complement her. Xia Wei's killing was not to enhance the power of the technique, or even for her own benefit, but for a more noble goal, which made this technique more righteous.

Everyone concentrated and held their breath, carefully staring at the situation on the battlefield. Because the light of the Demon Subduing and Evil-Rescuing Technique was able to cover a large area around it, everyone had to retreat to a safe place to avoid being affected by the technique.

However, soon, everyone could no longer maintain their original calm. Xia Wei's palm print spanned a hundred steps and finally hit in front of Jin Tai, but was blocked by an unknown layer of light shield, making a muffled sound like a bell, shaking off layer after layer of air waves. When the smoke and dust dissipated, Jin Tai was intact, and there was not even a trace of crack in the light shield beside him.

Jin Tai's body did not move at all, but Xia Wei herself was shocked by the recoil of spiritual power and could not help but take a few steps back. However, she exerted force on her feet and quickly regained her nimble body.

"This is bad..."

Seeing this scene, everyone exclaimed in surprise, and Hua Xiaomei was even more shocked: "He was able to block the Heart-Destroying Devil Palm, and he was still intact. If he uses the Devil-Subduing and Delivering Evil Skill again, what will Sister Xia Wei do?"

Hearing this, everyone was filled with worry. However, Ren Changhong discovered something at this time and said, "Wait... Xiaowei's use of the Heart-Destroying Devil Palm seems to be not only for killing the enemy, but also for another great purpose!"

As a Shura, Ren Changhong was extremely sensitive to murderous intent. He noticed at a glance that Xia Wei was acting differently at the moment, and vaguely discovered her true purpose.

The seemingly ineffective Heart-Destroying Demonic Palm was actually of great use to Xia Wei. She had never intended to win by using this method from the beginning.

Shen Qingge also spoke at the right time, revealing the true meaning of this method: "Xia Wei uses the Heart-Destroying Devil Palm to kill the enemy, which is secondary. The most important thing is to use the power of the Devil Palm to release the murderous intent hidden in the body and compete with the Devil Subduing and Evil-Transcending Method. With this overwhelming murderous intent in the body, even the Devil Subduing and Evil-Transcending Method cannot easily cause the karmic fire to burn the body like before."

After learning of Xia Wei's true purpose, everyone looked at her with a little more surprise and praise in their eyes. Xie Xinyu even exclaimed:
"The Demon Subduing and Deliverance just now clearly caused us so much trouble. No one could resist it. I didn't expect Sister Xia Wei to find a way to break it so quickly. Now she is not afraid at all..."

Li Ba couldn't help but nod his head: "This talent, as well as the judgment before the battle, can only be possessed by Xia Wei. No matter how much others envy her, they can't learn even a little bit."

Hua Xiaomei seemed to remember something: "So, sister Xia Wei had thought of a way to crack it early on, and was sure that she could keep Jin Tai, so she chose to take action... To be honest, our attention was attracted by the Immortal Ascension Order that Jin Tai took out, but Xia Wei was the only one who was still thinking about how to kill the enemy."

While everyone was discussing, they saw another strange change happening on the scene.

After taking out the Soul-Calming Stone, Jin Tai's aura surged several times. Even though he was unable to perform the Demon-Subduing and Evil-Rescuing Technique by his own strength, now he was able to perform it with a grand gesture, showing the full power of this technique.

After blocking the Heart-Devastating Demon Palm, Jin Tai couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. If it weren't for the Soul-Calming Stone, he would have been killed without a burial place under this move. Fortunately, with the Soul-Calming Stone in his hand, all the enemy's tricks were useless against him.

"Is this your method? It seems to be nothing more than this!"

Jin Tailang shouted, and the soul-calming stone in his hand shone brighter. The majestic power condensed in it also shocked everyone. "Be careful!" As if he had discovered something, Ren Changhong's face suddenly changed, and he quickly reminded everyone, "Hide quickly!"

As Ren Changhong finished speaking, the golden light of Subduing Demons and Delivering Evil spread rapidly. The power contained in it was even stronger than the one Jin Sheng had originally displayed!

When this move was used, everyone was in a panic. You must know that the previous move of subduing demons and overcoming difficulties had made everyone extremely embarrassed, and now the power was even stronger. If one was not careful and was covered by the golden light, the outcome would be even worse than before.

No one dared to hesitate and hid back in the painting of the Qionglou, not daring to show their heads at all. The rest of the people stayed where they were. Shen Qingge immediately cast the Soul Cover and barely protected everyone.

Under the scorching golden light, Xia Wei also let out a muffled groan, her whole body burning with pain. If she had not anticipated this and used the Heart-Destroying Demon Palm to draw out the murderous intent accumulated in her body in advance, replacing herself with the strong murderous intent and enduring the burning of the golden light, she would have been burned by the fire of karma again like she had just done.

As the golden light appeared, Jin Tai breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the miserable appearance of the crowd. To be honest, he was really afraid that those Shuras had some hidden cards in their hands. Now it seems that the Soul-Calming Stone is more powerful.

"You are unlucky. This Soul-Suppressing Stone is a magic weapon that Master gave to my senior brother. It was prepared to deal with the Formless Ghost King. Unfortunately, my senior brother was careless and was ambushed by you. He didn't bring out the true power of the Soul-Suppressing Stone at all, and ended up dying with regrets. Let me borrow the power of the Soul-Suppressing Stone to teach you a lesson."

Jin Tai spoke slowly. Although he had the upper hand, he was still a little weaker than Xia Wei in terms of momentum. The reason was that although his moves were powerful, they did not contain the murderous intent to fight to the death.

Most likely, Jin Tai would not dare to really kill the people from the Demon Palace. He only hoped to use the power of the Soul-Calming Stone to make Xia Wei and others retreat, thus creating a chance for him to escape.

However, in a life-and-death battle, it would undoubtedly be a huge mistake if there was no killing intent in the moves. Xia Wei was keenly aware of this, and with her eyes closed, she was secretly accumulating strength, ready to launch a fatal blow at any time.

Seeing Xia Wei being suppressed, Li Fei'e was filled with worry, and quickly said to Shen Qingge beside him: "Master, if this continues, Xia Wei might be in danger! Let's help her quickly!"

"That's right." Ren Changhong also spoke at the right time. She did not hide in the Qionglou scroll like the rest of her family. After all, her cultivation had reached the peak of level five, making her the strongest among everyone. How could she completely abandon the battle and leave everything to others?

Looking at Shen Qingge, Ren Changhong slowly said: "Use my strength. If you and I work together, we may have a chance to inflict heavy damage on the enemy."

The situation was urgent, Shen Qingge did not dare to hesitate, and immediately said: "Master, I am sorry for wronging you."

After saying that, she immediately activated the Dark Spirit Divine Art, and Ren Changhong's body turned into a series of drifting light spots and dissipated. The light spots swirled and quickly reorganized beside Shen Qingge, turning into an extremely sharp little sword.

Under the effect of the Nether Spirit Divine Art, Ren Changhong transformed into a fourth-grade magical weapon, the White Rainbow Piercing the Sun Sword. This sword was not a hand-held long sword, but a short and powerful flying sword. The blade emitted an extremely sharp light, which was just right for Shen Qingge to perform sword techniques.

After transforming her master into a sword, Shen Qingge felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart. She remembered that Xia Wei had also transformed her master Ye Jie into a sword before. She didn't expect that the one who transformed her into a sword was also her master. In a sense, the two people's choices were very similar.

Just as Shen Qingge was distracted, he heard Ren Changhong's voice coming from the flying sword: "Quick, use the sword technique to show the enemy some of your strength."

Master's urging immediately woke Shen Qingge up. Now was not the time to be dazed. If delayed for too long, Xia Wei might be in danger.

Even though Xia Wei still looked tough and refused to back down, she was just holding on with all her might, unwilling to give up. If she delayed any longer, the consequences would be disastrous, and that was not what Shen Qingge wanted to see.

Seeing this, Shen Qingge immediately practiced her internal energy. As she raised her hand and made a gesture, the Baihong Piercing Sun Sword, which was the incarnation of Ren Changhong, swooshed out, leaving a conspicuous white ripple in the air. The speed was extremely fast, like a meteor across the sky, which dazzled Li Fei'e, who was watching from the side, and he had to squint his eyes.

As the flying sword approached, Jin Tai did not dodge and let it rush towards him rapidly. It was blocked by the thick golden barrier in front of him. The flying sword stabbed left and right, but there was not even a crack on the barrier. It could not even touch his skin, let alone cause any harm to him.

The cooperation between the two ended up in vain. This situation made Shen Qingge anxious. She didn't understand what to do to break Jin Tai's protective barrier.

The attempt failed, and Ren Changhong returned to his original state, looking equally ugly.

"It's the power of the Soul-Calming Stone... I didn't expect that he has such a pure Soul-Calming Stone in his hand. I really underestimated the people here." Ren Changhong sighed.

Seeing that Ren Changhong seemed to know something, Li Fei'e quickly asked her: "Sister Hong, what exactly is the Soul Calming Stone? How can we crack it?"

Ren Changhong immediately spoke up and quickly told everything he knew: "The so-called Soul-Calming Stone is a treasure refined from a vast amount of souls. I have only seen some Shuras use it. The effect of the Soul-Calming Stone is to greatly enhance the skills used. Some skills even need to be used in conjunction with the Soul-Calming Stone to exert their hidden effects. The golden light around him is the same as the light of the original Demon-Subduing and Delivering Evil Spell, which is obviously enhanced by the Soul-Calming Stone."

Everyone couldn't help but nod, but what was bothering them soon changed to another problem.

Li Fei'e asked again: "In this case, what should we do to break his skills?"

Ren Changhong shook her head. Even she didn't know the answer to this question.

Only Shen Qingge seemed to have remembered something. He turned around quickly and his eyes fell on Nan Linghe standing beside him, as if he had found a way to break the impasse.

Nan Linghe was still confused and at a loss. Even when facing the suppressing golden light, she was not panicked at all, because she did not feel any threat from the approaching light at all. The only thing she felt was waves of warmth.

Following Shen Qingge's line of sight, everyone noticed Nan Linghe standing beside them, and their eyes lit up.

Ren Changhong also noticed Nan Linghe's abnormality and thought, "Wait... I remember that she didn't feel any discomfort under Fu Mo Du'e. Even I couldn't resist Fu Mo Du'e, but she was like nothing happened. It seems that she also has some extraordinary qualities. Maybe the way to break the impasse lies in her."
