—------------------—
Under the underground palace, Xu Guozhong was talking nonsense and was caught by Xu Tianxi and four others who were waiting for him.
After a series of combined punches from the ambush team, the ninth-level soul instructor Xu Guozhong was seriously injured and fell to his knees. Xiao Hongchen, who had come to join in the fun as a reporter, was furious. He rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his hands, attacking Xu Guozhong left and right, punching and kicking him, determined to vent his anger.
It is true that our Hongchen Family is an employee of the Xu Family, but we are also top-level employees. In the future, we will be able to enter the Worship Hall and secretly control the affairs of the empire!
You, the prince of the Xu family, dare to attack our Hongchen family. Believe it or not, we will rebel after we return to show you. If I can't cripple you, I won't be called Hongchen!
Xu Tianxi did not stop Xiao Hongchen throughout the whole process. He took Xiao Hongchen's camera soul guide to record the video and cheered loudly on the side.
"This punch missed the target. Move five centimeters towards the Dantian."
"That kick wasn't powerful enough. If it had been three more inches, it would have broken two more bones... The last kick was pretty good, with just the right amount of force. It broke his thigh without killing him."
As deep as the sea, spiritual power that seemed to form its own world was released from Xu Tianxi's pupils, scanning Xu Guozhong's body for weaknesses in all directions without blind spots, and simultaneously transmitting it to Xiao Hongchen through his mental thoughts.
The only soul skill that the million-year soul ring of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm brought him was the true form of his martial soul, but this did not affect Xu Tianxi's own research on spiritual detection and spiritual sharing abilities.
In fact, spiritual detection ability is a basic ability for high-level spiritual soul masters, and only spiritual sharing is relatively high-end. However, when the spiritual power reaches Xu Tianxi's level, it is not difficult to stuff some images into other people's heads.
If the force is light, it is sharing; if the force is strong, it is attacking. The key lies in the grasp and application of the degree.
Xiao Hongchen fought more and more happily under the sharing of spirit. His palms became rounder and rounder, and his fists struck more vigorously. He felt his blood boiling.
At the end of the fight, he took out a high-temperature cannon and fired at Xu Guozhong's good leg, giving him the same skin as the Sun and Moon Prince for free.
"Boom——!"
Hundreds of meters underground, the soundproofing equipment made by Xu Guozhong himself prevented the huge noise of the artillery explosion from being transmitted to the ground. Even the soundproofing soul guide that Xu Tianxi took out was of little use.
Xu Guozhong, who was hit by six punches in one second and a cannon-like kick, suddenly felt the pleasure of flying. His eyes went dark and he wanted to fall into a sleep forever.
Until now, he still didn't understand why these people appeared in his underground palace to ambush him, and he didn't understand why these people dared to treat him like this?
Is it possible that they have no respect for the dignity of the imperial power? Young people dare to do anything?
Xiao Hongchen had vented his anger enough, so he put away his cannon, stood aside, and made a gesture to Xu Tianxi that the matter was done.
Xu Tianxi smiled and nodded, then walked forward. He ignored all the complicated thoughts in Xu Guozhong's mind, stomped hard on his chest, venting his anger for Jing Hongchen, and then said coldly:
"Open your eyes if you don't want to die."
Xu Guozhong wanted to live, so he woke up quickly, opened his eyes, and a young and handsome face came into his sight.
"You, you are Yue Hou Kong Tianxi? Why, do you want to do this to me..."
"I don't like to have any sand in my eyes. I, the Minghun Guard, take it as my duty to protect the safety of the Sun Moon Empire, especially the evil soul masters and you guys who are disloyal!"
"Today, I suspected that you might be harmful to the pillar of the empire, the Hall Master Hongchen, so I brought people to arrest you. I just found some stolen goods, and you came to me on your own accord. "
Xu Tianxi's eyebrows were stern, his eyes were like knives, and every word he said was attacking Xu Guozhong's psychological defenses.
He has a special soul skill that is most suitable for forcing a confession, but it has never been used before. Xu Guozhong is also a Titled Douluo, so to be on the safe side, Xu Tianxi decided to beat Xu Guozhong into a cripple first to make it easier to crush his mental will.
Xu Guozhong was dumbfounded by Xu Tianxi's words about arresting people without evidence. He raised his struggling fingers and said in a trembling voice, "Just because of a suspicion, you dared to lead people to rush into my underground palace and let Xiao Hongchen abuse private punishment and cut off my legs?!"
"Kong Tianxi, do you still have the dignity of the royal family in your eyes? You have offended the royal family so much, aren't you afraid that this matter will be exposed and His Majesty and the Crown Prince will punish you?! What kind of organization do you think your Minghun Guard is that dares to attack this king!"
Hearing this, Xu Tianxi showed a very funny expression on his face and said, "I am also a member of the royal family. How could I not feel offended? So what if you are a royal prince? In my eyes, you are not much different from those evil soul masters. You are even more hateful than them!"
"Can a prince of the royal family be so unscrupulous as you, sucking blood from the country and enriching himself at the expense of the public? Can a prince of the royal family deliberately frame the pillars of the country like you?"
"You are born with luxurious clothes and delicious food, but you can't strive for progress and work hard, and you don't know how to just eat and wait for death to waste taxpayers' money. Do you think you are worthy of the people's money that you are enjoying?"
After pressing Xu Guozhong's chest hard, Xu Tianxi sensed that his mental will was fluctuating violently, so he sneered and continued:
"I might as well tell you! I asked Master Kong for this position of Commander of the Minghun Guards. I wanted this position just to deal with you parasites! Either you lower your heads and behave yourself, or I will confiscate your homes and exterminate your entire families, and send you to the battlefield!"
"I will kill first and report later. This is my Minghun Guard! Either kneel down and pay the money to the treasury, or die!"
After saying that, Xu Tianxi suddenly exerted force with his feet, controlling the force in an extremely precise direction to flow into Xu Guozhong's bone marrow. The crackling sound of bones shattering suddenly came one after another.
"Ugh~Puh——!"
Xu Guozhong screamed miserably, coughed up blood, and let out a choking roar like a wild beast from his throat.
"It's time." Xu Tianxi nodded secretly, and halos shining with gorgeous colors rose from under his feet.
Four black, two orange, and one platinum, a total of seven soul rings that were completely beyond common sense were circling around him.
A colorful halo rose from him and condensed into a silver giant beast over fifteen meters long, with a dragon head and a wolf body, and it was extremely majestic.
Nine-colored air currents rose between the dragon's horns, which seemed to contain rich elemental power, making people dizzy.
From behind, the stunned Xiao Hongchen almost touched the giant beast's hind legs. He dodged a few steps to the left and right, and opened his mouth involuntarily.
This spirit of Old Xu should be the previous Silver Moon Wolf King, right? How come he has changed so much in two years?
"Xiaoyin, join me in launching the Thousand Eyes Soul Capture on him and destroy his mental defenses."
Xu Tianxi said something to the person behind him, calling on the dragon-transformed Silver Moon Dragon Wolf King to attack together.
"AoWooWoo~!"
The Silver Moon Dragon Wolf King responded to Xu Tianxi with a roar. The sound waves turned into tangible energy, distorted the space, and rushed towards Xu Guozhong.
Silver moon-like spiritual thoughts suddenly appeared in Xu Tianxi's pupils and also rushed towards Xu Guozhong's head. The sixth soul ring around him shone and vibrated rhythmically.
Xu Guozhong immediately let out an even more painful roar, holding his head and crying in pain, his face looked terrifyingly hideous.
After a while, Xu Guozhong stopped struggling, and two silver lights appeared in his dull pupils. Upon closer inspection, they were dragon-wolf-shaped shadow imprints.
Xu Tianxi lifted his legs and tried to command, "Get up."
Xu Guozhong did as he was told, forcing himself to stand up with his bloody lower body, his expression respectful.
Xu Tianxi nodded slightly, and the soul skill took effect.
He gave Xu Guozhong some water elements to stop the bleeding, and waved to Xiao Hongchen and Gu Zhaoqiu in the back, motioning them to come over: "Okay, you can ask now."
Xiao Hongchen walked up quickly, looked Xu Guozhong up and down, and said in amazement: "You've done it already? What soul skill did you use?"
Xu Tianxi replied "Don't worry" and introduced: "My sixth soul skill, Thousand Eyes Soul Capture, comes from the Silver Moon Wolf King's talent for controlling wolves. It is a very special and rare mind control soul skill."
"Actively release spiritual thoughts when performing the spell. Invade the target's spiritual sea, just like thousands of dragons and wolves growling in the target's ears and mind, emitting dragon power and crushing their spiritual will. "
"In theory, my soul skill can control a target whose mental will is one level lower than my own, but I have never tried it before."
"I'm not sure if this is the first time I'm going to use it on a Title Douluo. Title Douluos have strong mental willpower, so after you crippled him, I hit him hard mentally and physically to ensure nothing goes wrong."
"There is a silver dragon wolf mark in his pupils. This is a sign that he is under my control. If he forcibly breaks free from my control, the mark will detonate part of his mental power, causing confusion and even mental breakdown."
"Now his mind has been controlled by my spirit skill. Just ask whatever you want to know. I guarantee it will be absolutely true."
Xiao Hongchen was shocked by the ability that Xu Tianxi introduced: "With such a powerful soul skill, won't you be able to attack anyone you want in the future?"
Xu Tianxi shook his head, indicating that you were overthinking it: "This soul skill still has many limitations. It usually requires preparation in advance and needs to be sustained for a period of time. Unless I encounter someone with a huge gap in mental strength, I cannot control the enemy in battle."
"In addition, this soul skill of mine comes from the transformed Xiaoyin. Bloodline is supreme among the dragon race, so my ability is ineffective against soul beasts or soul masters with powerful dragon bloodline."
"That's a good thing, otherwise people would be scared to death." Xiao Hongchen patted his chest. Fortunately, Xu Tianxi's ability was not very useful in actual combat, otherwise they wouldn't have to fight in the future and could just watch Xu Tianxi control remotely.
With his eyes slightly turned, Xiao Hongchen took back his photography soul guide from Xu Tianxi's arms, smiled and waved his hand to urge:
"We don't have much time, so just ask. I'll record the whole process for you. It might be of great use in the future."
"Okay." Xu Tianxi nodded, and looked at Xu Guozhong, saying coldly: "Tell us all the spies and agents you have in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and Mingde Hall, and tell us what you did after you surrendered to Xu Tian two years ago, and all the intelligence you know that is unfavorable to Mingde Hall."
"Yes, Dragon Lord." Xu Guozhong nodded mechanically and began to answer Xu Tianxi's question in an emotionless tone.
He talked about the spy he had planted in Mingde Hall and the search for the Conferred God Platform, and then talked about Xu Tianran asking him to find the intelligence and submit it to him, so that Xu Tianran would issue a bounty mission in the Adventurers Association of the Three Kingdoms to lure the top masters of the Three Kingdoms to attack Mingde Hall, so as to take the opportunity to suppress the plan to gather the power of the Jing Hongchen faction...
At the end, he also said that he and Xu Tianran were recently ordering their men to explore the location of important research project teams in Mingde Hall so that they could sell these things to the former Three Kingdoms strongmen and teach Jing Hongchen, who they saw as unruly, a lesson...
As early as when Xu Guozhong revealed Xu Tianran's entire plan, Xiao Hongchen had the urge to kill; by the time Xu Guozhong finished speaking, his face was as cold as water.
He silently recorded all these things, and said to Xu Tianxi, who also had a cold expression, "What to do is up to you."
Xu Tianxi pressed his chest, closed his eyes and let out a long breath, saying word by word: "Give me some time, I will root out Xu Tianran and the others!"
"Okay." Xiao Hongchen put away the photographic soul guide and stood aside quietly.
Xu Tianxi calmed down and said to Gu Yuena, who had been watching the show for a while, "It's your turn. Change his memory and make him forget everything that happened tonight."
Gu Yuena nodded gently and asked, "Then how do you explain his injury?"
Xu Tianxi's eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a deep voice: "He was playing with the soul guide in his own underground palace, and accidentally detonated the eighth-level fixed-type soul guide shell, causing the underground palace to collapse. He broke his leg and was seriously injured. He is dying!"
Gu Yuena said "Oh" and continued, "But I have never seen the explosion of an eighth-level fixed-type soul guide shell. What should I do?"
Xu Tianxi took out a cannonball from his storage ring and said with a faint smile: "You will see it soon."
"Old Xiao, collect the things. There are many treasures in his underground palace. Pick out a few good ones and present them to the dean."
"Okay!"
A moment later, the teachers and students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy all heard a loud thunderclap, as if a huge amount of heat was gushing out from the ground.
In the worship hall, Jing Hongchen, who was discussing his position with Kong Deming, suddenly stood up and asked in doubt, "There was an earthquake near the academy?"
