75 Chapter 1232: Possession! (1/2)
It was the Book of Heaven's Path, where he had sealed Vicious within!
Vicious had once told him that the other Vicious was his brain and his eyes, and the innate authority the brain possessed allowed it to exert dominance over the other body parts. As such, it would have been impossible for him to possess the other party under normal circumstances.
The only way he could successfully possess the other Vicious was when the other party's consciousness in a state of confusion, rendering the other party unable to counterattack to his possession!
Considering how the other Vicious was a soul oracle who possessed the intact memories of the original Vicious, it could be said that it would be nigh impossible to place his consciousness into a state of confusion. However, upon learning that the little island was an artifact that the other Vicious was intending to use to house its will, the rest was easy.
As long as he enchanted the little island in advance and put on a convincing act to have the other Vicious willingly fuse his consciousness into it… A single head with two consciousness clashing for supremacy, that was more than enough to disorientate the other Vicious' consciousness!
Admittedly, with the strength that the other Vicious wielded, it would not take too long for him to devour the spirit, but… how could Zhang Xuan give him the opportunity to do so?
With an upward wave of his hand, the book in his palm gradually opened. The heart and finger sealed within the book surged into the sky.
Boom!
A powerful killing intent burst forth from the heart and the finger, shrouding the entire island in an instant.
”Y-you… You actually have my other body parts! How could I have failed to sense them?”
Panic and disbelief could be heard in the voice of the other Vicious. At this point, he could not maintain his composure any longer.
Under normal circumstances, as soon as the body parts came into his vicinity, he should have been able to notice them in an instant due to the connection among them… so how could those two body parts come so close to him without him noticing?
Sense them? Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Vicious' heart and finger were sealed using his Book of Heaven's Path. Concealed by the heavens themselves, if Vicious could still sense their presence, wouldn't that mean that he had already surpassed the heavens?
How could that possibly be?
Hu!
Paying no heed to Vicious' shock, the consciousness within the heart and the finger flew out and dived into the massive head.
Hualala!
The head in the air was no longer able to maintain its steady flight, and it seemed as if it would plummet from the sky at any moment.
Zhang Xuan turned around and told the group behind him, ”Let's vacate the area first. It's likely that their battle will cause devastating destruction.”
The battle between the two Vicious for dominance was bound to be one that was extremely perilous. Even if they remained in the area, there was nothing they could do. In fact, they might even be placed in danger from the shockwaves of their clash. Since that was the case, they might as well leave the area for the time being and wait somewhere further away.
”Alright!” Wu shi and the others nodded.
Even though they still had not been able to make sense of the situation, considering that the pressure that had been weighing down on them previously had vanished, they were out of danger for the time being.
The group hurriedly dashed away from the area, and after ten minutes of travel, they finally stopped at an area roughly two hundred li 1 away from the Ghost Cavern.
At this moment, the little island appeared to be nothing more than a small bean in everyone's eyes. Nevertheless, from the uncontrollable shaking of the little island, they could imagine the intense battle that was ongoing there.
Unable to hold himself back any longer, Wu shi turned around and asked, ”Principal Zhang, what is happening?”
Why would the book that Zhang Xuan had taken out contain the will of an Otherworldly Demon?
What did that Otherworldly Demon have to do with the Qingtian Emperor's teacher?
Everything felt like a perfect enigma to them, leaving them completely befuddled.
”The teacher of Qingtian Emperor is the fragmented will of a powerful Otherworldly Demon who fought on equal grounds with Kong shi many years ago. He had already reached the level where he could revive even through just a single droplet of blood, and his death has resulted in many portions of his body being scattered around the world. I happened to find a few of his body parts and forced him to submit to me…” Zhang Xuan briefly explained the situation.
”An Otherworldly Demon who fought on equal grounds with Kong shi?”
”Doesn't that mean that he's an existence who has survived through the ages?”
”He's able to revive just from a single droplet of blood?”
…
The master teachers stared at one another as they felt their throats turning hoarse.
Despite having encountered plenty of mystical affairs themselves, they dared not believe what Zhang Xuan was saying. It was simply too inconceivable!
An old monster who had survived from the ancient times had actually ended up being tamed by Zhang Xuan?
The group felt as if their minds were going to blow up.
”I'll have to ask all of you not to speak of the matters that have happened here to anyone else,” Zhang Xuan requested.
No matter what, Vicious was still of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. It would adversely affect his reputation and credibility as a master teacher if it was made known that he had an Otherworldly Demon under his command.
”Rest assured!” Wu shi and the others hurriedly nodded in agreement.
To be honest, even if they wanted to speak of the matters that had happened that day, it was doubtful if others would be willing to believe their story.
Battling with an expert who had rivaled Kong shi many years ago, as well as that three-kilometer large head…
No matter how one looked at it, it seemed to be something that had come straight out from a fantasy novel, a figment of one's imagination.
At this point, Zhang Jiuxiao suddenly asked hesitantly, ”Zhang shi, are you really… a Celestial Master Teacher?”
The others quickly turned their attention back to Zhang Xuan.
They did not have any time to ask about the matter previously because their hands had been full dealing with the Otherworldly Demon. However, now that they were finally out of danger for the time being, they could not hold back their intrigue any longer.
On the other hand, Zhang Xuan knew that there was not any point hiding it from them any longer. Without saying a word, he stepped forward.
Hong long long!
A unique aura emanated from his body.
The faces of Zhang Jiuxiao and the others immediately paled.
The aura was not particularly powerful, but there was a compelling pressure to it that rendered them powerless before it. It was as if they were standing before an existence far superior to them, and an urge to bow down to the other party and acknowledge his as their teacher welled up in them.
”You really are…”
