Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

"Hu Qing, Hu Qing! Can you hear me?"

Hu Qing, who was practicing, frowned and his soul fell into darkness.

He stretched out his hands, and here he actually had a body. He touched the darkness around him, splashing ripples that spread into the depths.

"who are you?"

Hu Qing looked at the figure in the depths and wanted to rush over there, but he was always separated by the dark barrier and could only shout from a distance.

"I'm Xun Guan. Don't die. Don't die. This is all a conspiracy!"

The figure in the distance gradually became clear, revealing Xun Guan's figure. However, at this time, she was only in the state of a soul. Her whole body was badly broken, with wounds everywhere, and she looked extremely miserable.

Hu Qing looked at Xun Guan with surprise. He had clearly seen Xun Guan die in his arms and buried her with his own hands, yet she looked like this now.

"Hu Qing, believe me, live well. All of this is...a conspiracy. Don't die. If you die, you'll have nothing."

Xun Guan was still shouting loudly, as if he wanted to tell him everything he knew.

When she revealed whose conspiracy it was, Hu Qing could only hear two silent "beeps", and the mystery became more and more complicated.

Xun Guan's figure began to dissipate under Hu Qing's eyes, gradually disappearing from under his feet.

However, Xun Guan was not afraid or panicked. She looked at Hu Qing with a smile and continued to convey information.

"Go to the center and find.... Only there can you find..., can you...?"

After saying this, Xun Guan disappeared into the distance, turning into a point of light that was eroded by darkness.

These words all turned into a series of "beep...beep" sounds in Hu Qing's ears. What on earth was being deliberately concealed?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Now it was at least proven that the dead could not return to their original world, disrupting all his plans.

Hu Qing angrily punched the barrier in front of him, but the barrier had already disappeared, his punch missed and he fell to the ground.

He ignored the pain in his body and rushed desperately to the place where Xun Guan disappeared. There was actually a little light there.

Hu Qing picked up a copper coin on the ground. It was covered with green rust. He wiped it off with his hand and found the following words written on it:

"Liangzao Xinquan"

This is different from the "Tongbao coin" that Hu Qing is familiar with, but considering that Xun Guan was a person from the Western Jin Dynasty, this is probably the copper coin of her era.

But I don't know what use this is, so I'll put it away for now.

Hu Qing looked at the darkness around him and kept exploring, but no matter how he tried to probe with his mental power, there was only endless darkness.

Suddenly, Hu Qing noticed a ball of fire in front of him. He looked around and found that he was still at the foot of the hill.

"Ah Qing! Come and help!"

Hearing Gu Yang's cry, Hu Qing looked carefully and saw that he was fighting with a dark shadow, but was being suppressed and beaten.

Was that just a dream? It was such a real dream. When did I fall asleep?

Hu Qing shook his head, put these doubts behind him, stood up and went to help Gu Yang.

"when"

A copper coin slipped from his hand and fell on the stone on the ground with a crisp sound.

Hu Qing lowered his head. It was the copper coin left by Xun Guan. This was not a dream, it was actually real.

He didn't dare to think too deeply about it. If he didn't help, Gu Yang would be beaten to death.

Gu Yang picked up the Moon-Covering Knife and blocked the opponent's long sword, causing sparks to fly in the darkness.

Hu Qing injected all his spiritual power into Gu Yang and released his mental power to crush the figure.

But there was no effect at all. The figure seemed to have no soul and continued to chop Gu Yang.

Gu Yang's mouth was already bleeding. The figure seemed to become even more violent when he smelled the blood, and his red eyes were fixed on his wrist.

Gu Yang blasted the Seal of Life and Death onto his head, but it didn't cause any damage at all. This figure was really weird.

Hu Qing used his soul power to continuously restrict the figure's movements, but the effect was minimal, and he seemed to be unaware of the pain.

This gave Hu Qing a headache. Gu Yang had more and more wounds on his body. The figure probably couldn't use spiritual power, but he just relied on brute force, beating Gu Yang so hard that he cried out in pain.

"What the hell is this thing? I can't kill it even if I hit it!"

Hu Qing looked at the dying bonfire nearby and came up with an idea.

He smashed the kerosene lamp on the figure, and kerosene continued to flow on him.

"Brother Gu, I'm going to throw a torch later, get out of the way!"

Hu Qing pulled out a piece of burning wood from the campfire, aimed at the figure's head and threw it straight up. Seeing this, Gu Yang loosened his grip on the Moon-Covering Knife and stepped back.

A huge fire started on the figure, burning all the cloth on his body, revealing his black iron body. His head could not be seen in the firelight.

But what horrified the two was that he actually ran away in a panic, not because of the burns, but because of the light.

There were no visible wounds on his body. Instead, he covered his eyes and flew into the deep forest.

Gu Yang picked up the Moon-Covering Sword that had been thrown into the ground, and lay on the ground panting, staring at the stars in the sky with a dazed look in his eyes.

"Where did this monster come from? It has no spiritual power, feels no pain, and can fly?"

Hu Qing relit the bonfire and looked at Gu Yang who had fallen to the ground.

"I don't know. I was halfway through my training when I heard a sucking sound. I thought it was you, so I opened my eyes."

Gu Yang seemed to have thought of something, and pointed at the corpse of the wild forest boar with excitement.

"He was lying on the pig's neck, sucking its blood vessels, making a loud noise. I wanted to wake you up, but you didn't respond. If it weren't for the fluctuations in your soul, I would have thought you were sucked in too.

Then he spotted me and attacked me directly, wanting to bite me. He didn't dare get close to the campfire. I saw no spiritual energy fluctuations coming from him, so I went straight for him with my knife. I didn't expect that he almost killed me. "

Hu Qing was speechless looking at Gu Yang with a bitter face. It turned out that he thought that he could bully others so he wanted to test his strength, but he got bullied in return.

He didn't think too much about it and ran to check the body of the wild forest boar. The whole body was almost sucked dry, and the blood on the ground had been completely absorbed.

"Brother Gu, that one should be the blood-sucking monster in the ruins. It seems that he is really hungry and even doesn't let go of pig blood."

Gu Yang had almost recovered by now. He ran to Hu Qing and began to examine the body. He felt sad that such a large piece of meat was completely inedible.

"Ah Qing, that monster's body is actually all black iron. It doesn't look like a living creature. It looks a bit like my two war puppets."

When Hu Qing heard this, he once again thought of the statue that disappeared in the ruins.

"When it's daybreak, we'll go to the entrance of the ruins and find out. If the statue over there also disappears, it means that the blood-sucking monster is them."
