Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

On the eve of the imperial examination, Haitian City should have been a place of tranquility and expectation, but the fire in Lichunyuan broke this tranquility.

The royal palace attached great importance to this sudden fire. A large number of officers and soldiers quickly gathered and began patrolling the city, trying to find out the cause of the fire and possible hidden dangers.

Officers and soldiers, holding torches, shuttled through the streets and alleys of the city. Their appearance made the already tense atmosphere even more solemn.

From time to time, soldiers in the patrol team shouted loudly, reminding citizens to pay attention to safety, and asked if anyone had witnessed the fire.

Against this backdrop, Gu Yang's situation became even more dangerous.

He was being chased relentlessly by the man in black, whose strength far surpassed Gu Yang's, and every attack was full of deadly threats.

He used his spiritual power to transform it into sharp sword energy, continuously stabbing at Gu Yang.

Gu Yang ran frantically on the street, trying to get rid of the man in black.

There were already many bloodstains on his body, which were the marks left by the sword energy passing through his skin.

Every time the sword energy passed through him, he felt a sharp pain, but he knew that if he stopped, he might lose his life.

Just when Gu Yang was almost exhausted, a team of patrolling officers and soldiers noticed them.

When the officers and soldiers saw Gu Yang being chased, they immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Quick, protect that young man!" the leading officer ordered loudly.

The officers and soldiers quickly attacked the man in black, trying to stop his pursuit.

Although the officers and soldiers were not as strong as the men in black, their appearance bought Gu Yang a precious breathing space.

The man in black stopped and took out a red-gold token from his pocket. The red characters on it were extremely dazzling in the night.

"I am a guard of the Zhu Mansion. I have been ordered by Lord Zhu to kill this arsonist. You all should retreat. I will take full charge of this matter."

After the man in black threw the token to the leading officer, he used all his spiritual power to kill Gu Yang.

The leading officer looked at the heavy token in his hand, turned around and took his men to the county government office to report the matter to the county magistrate.

With the intervention of officers and soldiers, Gu Yang seized the opportunity and decided to sprint with all his strength, trying to escape the pursuit of the man in black.

He poured all his spiritual power into his feet and moved quickly in the night, like a gust of wind, passing through Haitian City.

However, just when he had run about twenty meters away, a huge spiritual power suddenly attacked from behind.

This spiritual power was like an invisible storm, carrying the power to destroy everything, and instantly hit Gu Yang's back.

Gu Yang felt as if his body was grabbed by an invisible giant hand, and was thrown back suddenly, and the whole person was thrown into the air.

His body spun twice in the air, then fell heavily to the ground with a dull thud.

Gu Yang felt as if all the bones in his body were broken at this moment. Severe pain spread throughout his body, making him almost lose consciousness.

Despite the severe pain in his body, Gu Yang's consciousness was extremely clear.

He knew that he couldn't fall here.

He tried hard to stand up, but his body was shaking uncontrollably.

Hu Qing continuously injected spiritual power into the petals in his body: "Brother Gu, you can't give up, we must persevere!"

Gu Yang took a deep breath and mobilized the spiritual power in his body, trying to relieve the pain.

He knew that only by standing up could he continue to fight, protect himself and Hu Qing, and expose Prince Zhu.

When the man in black saw Gu Yang being knocked away, a cruel smile flashed in his eyes.

He did not stop because Gu Yang fell to the ground, but increased the intensity of his attack.

His spiritual power was like a series of sharp swords, constantly stabbing at Gu Yang.

The man in black has only one goal, which is to completely eliminate Gu Yang.

Gu Yang stood up tremblingly, but was immediately knocked away by the man's spiritual power and fell heavily to the ground again.

Despair, endless despair swept over Gu Yang. The first time he faced a Jindan stage expert, he was beaten to a pulp.

He stared at the man, and the pain in his body almost made him faint.

"Ah Qing, he shouldn't have noticed you. Hurry up and leave, taking our hope with you!"

Gu Yang roared in his heart, but Hu Qing was still staring at the petals, pouring spiritual power into them like a madman.

The spiritual power of the man in black attacked again. Gu Yang no longer had the strength to resist and could only watch the spiritual power gradually approaching him.

Just as Gu Yang closed his eyes and waited for death, Hu Qing flew out of his body and placed the flower petals on his chest to resist the incoming spiritual power.

"boom"

Under Gu Yang's incredulous eyes, Hu Qing was knocked away and his figure became illusory.

"No, Ah Qing, you don't want to die, you are not allowed to die!" Gu Yang roared.

"You're not dead yet, bug! You're really tenacious." The man was a little angry. It took so long to kill a small ant in the Body Tempering Stage.

Just as the man in black was about to launch a fatal attack, Gu Yang finally stood up.

His eyes were red as he squeezed out all the spiritual energy in his body, preparing to meet the attack from the man in black.

"Brother Gu, I did it!"

Hu Qing's voice echoed in the night sky.

The mysterious petals drew a graceful arc in the air and landed in front of Gu Yang.

As the petals flew, it suddenly burst out with huge spiritual power, shining brightly, and resisted the attack of the man in black.

Seeing this, the man in black had a flash of surprise in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by coldness.

He increased his spiritual power output, trying to suppress Hu Qing and Gu Yang with greater force.

The two spiritual powers met in the air, erupting with a deafening roar.

The spiritual power released by the petals formed a confrontation with the spiritual power of the man in black. The light and the storm intertwined, forming a spectacular showdown.

The petals spun in the air, releasing even stronger spiritual power.

This spiritual power is not only powerful but also pure, and seems to be able to purify all power.

The black-clothed man's spiritual power began to gradually weaken in the face of this spiritual power, and his expression became solemn.

At that decisive moment, two powerful spiritual powers collided in the air, generating a huge shock wave.

This force was like a small storm, sweeping everything around it into it.

Neither Gu Yang nor the man in black was spared from the impact of the shock wave.

Gu Yang's body was already covered in wounds from the previous battle, and this was now even worse.

He felt as if he was being tightly pressed by an invisible force, and then he was suddenly thrown out and fell heavily to the ground.

The man in black was not spared either. His body rolled in the air and finally fell not far away, motionless.

His breath became weak and he was obviously seriously injured.

Gu Yang lay on the cold ground, feeling his consciousness gradually fading.

He was wounded in many places and blood was oozing out of the wounds, staining the ground red.

Every breath was accompanied by severe pain, but his heart was filled with unwillingness.

The Hu Qing in his body was no longer making any sound, and his body was becoming increasingly illusory.

Gu Yang opened his eyes with difficulty, looked at the man lying on the ground, and instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Now all I have to do is wait for Zhao Tiezhu or Li Wenyuan to find me.

Gu Yang had just breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate that he and Hu Qing were finally safe temporarily, but the situation suddenly changed.

After a brief coma, the man in black shook his head and stood up again.

The sense of peace that had just risen in Gu Yang's heart was instantly shattered, and the black-clothed man standing up again was like the announcement of death.

The black-clothed man's strength exploded in anger. He took a few steps to stand in front of Gu Yang, and grabbed Gu Yang's neck with his hands like iron clamps, lifting him off the ground.

"Bug, I really underestimated you. You actually hurt me. I decided to kill you first, pull out your head, and take you to hunt down your two companions." The man showed a sinister smile.

Just as Gu Yang was feeling desperate and his vision was gradually blurring, a cold light flashed, followed by the crisp sound of metal colliding.

A big knife chopped towards the man in black. It turned out that Zhao Tiezhu heard the vibration sound in the distance, became alert, and rushed over to check the situation.

The man in black had to let go of Gu Yang and turn to face Zhao Tiezhu's attack.

Gu Yang fell to the ground, gasping for breath, and felt a glimmer of hope.

Zhao Tiezhu engaged in a fierce fight with the man in black.

Although Zhao Tiezhu's swordsmanship was sharp, the man in black was obviously stronger.

The two figures quickly intertwined in the moonlight, and every confrontation was a battle of life and death.

However, the battle did not last long. Zhao Tiezhu revealed a flaw during an attack, and the man in black seized the opportunity and crushed his hands.

Zhao Tiezhu fell to the ground in pain, and the big knife in his hand fell to the side.
