Slay the Gods: The spokesperson for Zhulong, starts with the God-killing Gun

Li Kengqiang's voice suddenly rose, each word distinct and deliberate, like a thunderclap:

"Heart! Close!!!"

“The heart barrier…” The crowd murmured these two words, their eyes filled with contemplation and… a hint of confusion.

An Qingyu pushed up her glasses, and data streams flickered on the lenses.

The most crucial question was raised: "What exactly does 'mindset' refer to? Is it an emotion? A belief? Or... a special mental state?"

Li Kengqiang gave him an approving look: "Good question!"

He paced back and forth, organizing his thoughts, and explained: "[State of mind]...is not a fixed emotion or state. It varies from person to person, from the forbidden area, and from the Dao!"

“It can be… an unwavering determination, a resolute act that cuts through everything!” His gaze swept over Cao Yuan.

“It could be… the compassion that embraces all things and protects everything!” His gaze swept over Jialan and Lin Qiye.

“It could be… absolute rationality, the ability to calculate flawlessly and control everything!” He looked at An Qingyu.

“It could be… a carefree life of laughter, anger, and playfulness, yet seeing through the illusions of the world!” He glanced at Baili Pangpang and Sun Wukong.

“It could also be… the supreme majesty that annihilates all things and governs the order of time!” He gave Zhang Yun one last deep look.

"It could even be... the ultimate anger!"

Extreme sorrow!

An extreme desire to protect!

An extreme desire for destruction!

Li Kengqiang's voice possessed a strange magic.

"Any emotion, any belief, as long as it perfectly aligns with your own core strength..."

And it is pure, unwavering, and powerful enough to stir your entire spirit and will... it... can become the key for you to break through the "gate of your heart"!

"Find this key...grab it...and then...knock on that door!"

After Li Kengqiang finished speaking, he looked intently at everyone: "And today... the second lesson I've prepared for you... is to help you... find... this key that belongs to you yourselves!"

His lips curled up once again into that familiar, unsettling... wicked smile.

"Ready... newbies?"

"The Trial of the Heart... Now... Begins!"

Om-! ! !

Li Kengqiang's roar, as resounding as a great bell, announced the start of the [Heart Barrier] trial.

It still lingers in the air!

Om-! ! !

An indescribable, vast and powerful willpower, like an invisible tsunami.

Centered on him, it erupted with a roar!

"Holy crap?!?!" Baili Pangpang instinctively covered his head and exclaimed in surprise.

Cao Yuan's black blade was instantly drawn half an inch from its sheath!

An Qingyu's robotic arm instantly entered combat mode!

Garan's immortal instincts lit up!

Zhang Yun's Candle Dragon True Flame flowed silently!

Lin Qiye's domain suddenly contracted to protect his body!

However, the anticipated terrifying attack or bizarre hallucinations... did not immediately occur.

In the very center of this absolute nothingness, a point of pure white light quietly shone forth.

That light... was neither blazing nor holy, but rather... an extreme... coldness, loneliness, yet containing a certain... resoluteness that severed everything!

The light slowly condensed and stretched... finally... transforming into a... clear human figure.

He was a... young man wearing a slightly thin, pure white shirt, with a slender figure, a cold face, and eyes as deep as an ancient, cold pool...

In his hand... he held a... enormous halberd, with an ancient and ferocious design, dark gold in color, exuding a tragic, domineering, and fierce aura as if it could split mountains and cleave seas!

The halberd tip pointed diagonally downwards, its cold, icy gleam seemingly capable of freezing one's soul!

The young man... was none other than Tang Yusheng!

He floated silently in the void.

The hem of his white shirt fluttered even without wind, creating a striking visual contrast with the domineering weapon in his hand—a contrast that was both extremely eerie and incredibly harmonious!

"!!!"

Zhang Yun's pupils suddenly contracted!

It's him? !

That… the son of Bai Ze born at the bottom of the Huangpu River?!

That... the mysterious person who delivered the fish to them?!

That… reclusive boy who always sits alone on the rocks, seemingly out of place in the world?!

How come he is here? !

And... he wields such a vicious weapon?!

The aura... is so... terrifying?!

Just as everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty—

Tang Yusheng slowly raised his head, his deep, cold eyes sweeping over everyone like two invisible swords.

His lips moved slightly, and a calm, cool voice, yet carrying an undeniable air of authority, rang out.

It resounded clearly throughout the surroundings.

"I am Tang Yusheng, the third Commander-in-Chief of the Great Xia Night Watch."

"..."

Dead!

Absolute silence!

Apart from Li Kengqiang and Zhang Yun, who seemed to have expected this, everyone else was completely petrified!

The third... Commander-in-Chief?!

What kind of international joke is this?!

The Lord Commander of the Night's Watch?! The legendary, incredibly mysterious third Lord Commander, second only to Ye Fan?! It's actually... this boy who looks only seventeen or eighteen years old?!

Baili Pangpang's chin almost fell to the ground!

Cao Yuan's hand, gripping the knife, froze!

An Qingyu's lenses were flashing wildly!

Jialan's little mouth opened into an "O" shape!

Lin Qiye's brows furrowed tightly!

Even Sun Wukong scratched his head, his fiery eyes filled with astonishment!

This is so much information...it's terrifying!

Tang Yusheng seemed completely unconcerned by the horrified expressions on everyone's faces, and continued speaking in his calm, even tone:

"This trial of the heart... will be presided over by me."

The moment the words fell—

hum! ! !

The absolute nothingness surrounding us receded once more like the tide!

The scenery before my eyes is changing rapidly!

A cold sea breeze suddenly hit my face!

The deafening roar of the waves suddenly filled my ears!

next moment……

The group discovered that they were standing on a vast, jagged, slippery group of sea rocks that were being relentlessly battered by towering waves!

Beneath my feet were cold, hard rocks, and all around me was a dark green, roaring, surging, and unfathomable... raging sea!

The leaden sky hung low, as if it might press down at any moment!

The air was thick and suffocating with... the smell of the sea and... the aura of killing!

Tang Yusheng... still wearing that white shirt, holding that huge dark gold halberd, quietly... stood not far away... atop the highest and most precipitous reef.

The sea breeze ruffled the stray hairs on his forehead, and the waves splashed onto his trouser legs.

But he remained unmoved, like a rock rooted to the ground. Only his cold eyes...

Like a hawk locking onto its prey, it fixed its gaze on the slightly flustered and tense group of people on the reef!

"Unleashing potential...the best way..."

Tang Yusheng's voice pierced through the roar of the waves, clearly reaching everyone's ears—cold...and...cruel!

"It's... a life-or-death battle!"

His arm slowly rose!

That enormous, menacing halberd, its tip... pointed directly at... the crowd!

A terrifying, brutal, domineering killing intent, seemingly from an ancient battlefield, descended with a deafening roar, as if it were tangible! It locked onto every single person!

"bring it on."

Tang Yusheng's lips seemed to...very slightly...curve upwards...with an extremely cold...curve.

"I... will not hold back."

The moment the words fell—

boom--! ! ! !

The rocks beneath his feet... suddenly shattered!

His figure... was like a white lightning bolt that instantly tore through space!

The halberd in his hand transformed into a bolt of dark golden lightning that tore through the heavens and earth! It carried a terrifying power that could crush all things and slay gods and demons!

They charged fiercely towards the group on the reefs!

"Fuck!!!"

"Are you serious?!"

"defense!!!"

"spread!!!"

In an instant! The entire Nightfall Squad... felt their scalps tingle! Their souls trembled!

This isn't a trial at all! This is... deadly!!!

That murderous aura...it was real! That power...was truly...a terrifying power at the pinnacle of human capabilities!!!

"Seven Nights!!!" Cao Yuan roared, his murderous aura erupting! The black blade was instantly drawn completely! A black blade light that tore through space... fiercely met the white lightning!

"Mortal Barrier!" Lin Qiye's pupils shrank sharply! He unleashed his Mortal Domain at full power! A pitch-black barrier instantly materialized in front of everyone!

"Absolute rationality overload! Power analysis! Weakness calculation!" An Qingyu's robotic arm was operating at full speed! Data streamed down the lens like a waterfall!

"Immortal Guardian!" Garan clasped his hands together! Brilliant immortality transformed into a shield!

"I'll fight you guys to the death!!" Baili Pangpang screamed as he pulled out a thick stack of defensive talismans... and threw them forward like they were free!

Zhang Yun's eyes narrowed! The Candle Dragon True Flame was instantly compressed to its maximum!

However, he did not make a move immediately, but instead stared intently at Tang Yusheng's movements!

boom--!!!!!!!!!

The dark golden halberd light... collided violently with... everyone's defenses!

An indescribable horrific noise!

The entire reef was shaking violently!

The violent energy shockwave spread wildly in all directions like a tsunami!

It pressed down the surrounding sea surface, creating a huge crater!

Click——! ! !

Lin Qiye's barrier against the mortal world... instantly cracked! It shattered with a deafening roar!

Cao Yuan's murderous blade aura... was instantly crushed! He let out a muffled groan and flew backward!

The light from Baili Pangpang's talisman vanished as easily as paper!

Garan's Immortal Shield... shook violently, nearly collapsing!

An Qingyu's calculations... instantly overloaded!

Cracks have appeared on the lenses!

Only Zhang Yun... the Candle Dragon True Flame transformed into a fine yet extremely condensed line of fire, precisely piercing a tiny flaw in Tang Yusheng's halberd technique, barely managing to... halt his attack for... an insignificant moment!

one strike!

Just one blow!

The Nightfall Squad... was completely overwhelmed!!! They were even... in grave danger!!!

Tang Yusheng's figure, like a god of war, hovered in mid-air, his white shirt fluttering, his dark gold halberd pointing diagonally downwards, his cold eyes... without the slightest fluctuation.

"Too weak."

He uttered two words calmly.

Then... the halberd tip rose again!

An even more terrifying, more brutal, and more domineering killing intent... once again... frantically gathered!
