Chapter 1108: Chapter 1108: Defense Against the Soul

He had just been at the very center of the clash of powers, and when the explosion occurred, there was no time to dodge, so he bore the brunt of the explosion’s aftermath.

Sword Qi’s power lingered in his body, rampantly ravaging his flesh.

Looking down on him from above, Ning Fan’s eyes flickered with a cold light, "That dagger just now was your last resort, wasn’t it? Now you have no more tricks up your sleeve. Just surrender obediently."

Upon hearing this, The Man in the Black Mist gritted his teeth and said angrily, "You bastard, do you really think you have the situation under control? I’ll have you know that this world is about to collapse. I can easily leave this place while you can only obediently wait for your death here."

With that, he raised his palms abruptly, and thick black fog surged from his palms, gathering around his body.

This black fog continued to whirl, eventually forming a black hole that kept spinning, with a faint light seeping through from its center.

"That’s the passage to the outside world!" Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng’s face was alight with joy, finally seeing a hope for escape.

However, Huang Gu’s expression was somber as he said, "This guy has laid out traps around us, we probably can’t get through."

As he said this, he cautiously reached out his hand to touch the black fog swirling around them.

"Zap!"

The instant he made contact, wisps of white smoke rose from his palm, as if it were being scorched by something.

Huang Gu frowned deeply, quickly pulling his hand back, his eyes filled with grave concern, "No, I feel that if I try to force my way through, I’ll be reduced to ashes!"

The Man in the Black Mist burst into laughter, "Fools, this is a defense specifically targeting the soul. No matter how strong your cultivation is, you’ll definitely not be able to break through my defense!"

Just as he was about to jump into the exit, he saw Ning Fan suddenly move.

"Zap!"

Billowing white smoke surged up fiercely, and before The Man in the Black Mist could react, Ning Fan had already forcibly breached his defense, appearing right in front of him.

"How is this possible?!" exclaimed The Man in the Black Mist, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

In this world, The Man in the Black Mist and Ning Fan had spent seven days.

But in the real world, it had been less than one day’s time.

During this time, The Man in the Black Mist felt that his entire worldview had been turned on its head.

First, his never-before-seen-through illusion was exposed, which was still bearable; at most, he acknowledged Ning Fan’s strong spiritual power and acute observational skills.

However, what followed next plunged him completely into self-doubt.

His pride in his own dagger, which was even ineffective against Ning Fan.

The barrier he had set up against the soul was even more effortlessly penetrated by Ning Fan.

This was simply unimaginable!

That was his great soul-targeting weapon, refined over many years of effort.

And this brat just brazenly broke through it?!

Before he could snap out of his shock, Ning Fan was already in front of him, his body emitting wisps of white smoke, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.

The power of that layer of black fog wall was stronger than he had anticipated. Even with his Spiritual Power and spiritual power shielding himself and forcibly breaking through, he still suffered serious injuries.

But such injuries did not hinder his next actions.

"Bastard!"

The Man in the Black Mist gritted his teeth and turned to jump into the black hole beside him.

Yet, Ning Fan’s movements were faster; he stomped his feet forcefully on the ground, staunchly intercepting him first.

"What are you trying to do?" roared The Man in the Black Mist with a fierce yet nervous tone, but the glances he occasionally sneaked at the black hole betrayed his inner thoughts.

"Of course, it’s to make you let them come over here," Ning Fan, with a Spiritual Sword Ray coalescing in his palm, launched an attack at The Man in the Black Mist, "Otherwise, I will kill you right here today!"

Naturally, The Man in the Black Mist would not sit still waiting for death; he immediately began to manipulate the black fog to engage Ning Fan in combat.

The turbulent forces spread out in all directions, igniting once again with astonishing impact power.

The space around them was already shattered, and with further impacts from the forces, it became even more fragile.

In almost the blink of an eye, numerous spatial cracks appeared, each crack emitting a heart-palpitating power.

The Man in the Black Mist and Ning Fan unconsciously slowed down their actions, fearing that even the slightest carelessness would cause them to touch the spatial cracks.

After all, this was not the real world, but a Spiritual Space.

Previously, while Ning Fan was healing, he specifically recalled related memories from his inheritance and discovered information about the Spiritual Space.

This Spiritual Space was constructed based on a person’s memories, which is why it felt so real.

As for those fragmented cracks, they were collapses of the Spiritual Space, with the other side connecting to the underlying realm of the spiritual world.

If one carelessly fell into them, they would be dropped into the depths of the spiritual world.

There, the ugliest, most vicious, and cruelest subconscious of humanity lay hidden.

Once fallen into, even oneself may not last long before being torn to pieces!

Ning Fan was aware of this information, and The Man in the Black Mist, who constructed this Spiritual Space, clearly understood this as well; therefore, he dared not approach those cracks.

After being severely wounded by Ning Fan, The Man in the Black Mist had already lost his previous dominance. Facing Ning Fan’s onslaught, he could only retreat step by step.
