Chapter 113: The inner demon disturbs the holy path, breaking and proving oneself
The fog rolled in, swallowing up the last ray of light.
Shi Yi and Shi Hao seemed to be in a chaotic abyss, where they couldn't see their hands in front of them.
The air around was stagnant and even breathing became heavy.
An inexplicable feeling of oppression surged into my heart like a tide, making it suffocate.
"Brother..." Shi Hao's voice trembled a little, and he subconsciously held Shi Yi's hand tightly.
Shi Yi held his hand in return, giving him silent comfort.
Although the double pupils can penetrate the fog, they cannot see through the eerie silence.
An invisible force silently invaded their minds and disturbed their hearts.
Fear, like a seed, quietly takes root and sprouts in the heart.
Shi Yi's eyes were flooded with painful memories of past failures, the loss of his supreme bone, and being abandoned by his tribe.
In the endless darkness, a voice whispered in his ear: "Power... You need more powerful power..." Greedy desires coiled around his heart like a poisonous snake. He saw himself losing himself in the temptation of power and eventually falling into the abyss, suffering terribly.
At the same time, Shi Hao also fell into his own inner demons.
He saw himself standing alone on the desolate land, calling for his parents and his elder brother, but no one responded.
Endless loneliness consumed him. He felt as if he was in a world without relatives or friends, and felt extremely desperate.
Tears rolled down his face silently as he curled up on the ground, shivering.
Young Master Ling Feng, who was hiding in the dark, looked at Shi Yi and Shi Hao struggling in pain, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
“Hmph, this test of the inner demon is not so easy to pass. Shi Yi, Shi Hao, just wait to be devoured by the inner demon!” Several followers beside him also echoed, their words full of ridicule and disdain.
The elder of the holy land looked at the two people shrouded in fog with a frown.
"This test of the inner demon is the most difficult one in the trial. I wonder if they can pass it." The Nine Yang Venerable on the side looked solemn and said slowly: "The test of the inner demon tests a person's heart. If the mind is not strong, the inner demon will devour them. I hope they can overcome their inner fears and successfully break through." There was a hint of worry in his words.
Fairy Mingyue stood on the high platform, her eyes fixed on the two people in the mist, a hint of worry flashing in her cold eyes.
She prayed silently, hoping that they would be safe.
In the fog, Shi Yi struggled in pain.
He thought of his brotherhood with Shi Hao, his previous oath, and the responsibilities he shouldered.
His double pupils suddenly burst out with a strong light, dispelling the illusions of his inner demon one by one.
"No!" Shi Yi shouted, breaking free from the troubles of his inner demons, and his whole temperament became more calm.
He turned to look at Shi Hao, who was still struggling with his inner demons, with a glint of determination in his eyes... "Xiao Hao!"
Shi Yi's double pupils burst out with brilliant golden light, like two scorching suns, dispelling the inner demons and illusions that were entangling him.
The whispering and seductive voice, the painful memory of having the Supreme Bone taken away, all vanished under this sacred light.
He slowly loosened his clenched fists, took a deep breath, and his eyes were filled with unprecedented determination.
"Xiao Hao!" Shi Yi turned to look at Shi Hao, who was still struggling with his inner demons, and felt extremely anxious.
He stretched out his hand, and a golden light shot out from his double pupils, turning into a bridge of light, connecting to Shi Hao's body.
Shi Hao is in endless loneliness at this moment. The voices and smiles of his parents and the warm embrace of his elder brother are all shattered like mirages.
The feeling of despair wrapped around him tightly, almost swallowing him.
At this moment, a golden light penetrated the darkness and illuminated his heart.
He felt a powerful force, warm and firm, pulling him back from the abyss.
"Brother!" Shi Hao opened his eyes and saw Shi Yi's concerned gaze, his heart filled with emotion.
The Supreme Bone also emitted a dazzling light, like the brightest star in the night sky, instantly purifying the remaining demonic power around it.
The two brothers stood side by side, like two unshakable mountains, standing tall in the mist.
Young Master Ling Feng, who was hiding in the dark, suddenly changed his expression, and the smile that originally showed his confidence in victory froze on his face.
"How is this possible? They actually broke through the test of their inner demons so quickly!" His tone was full of disbelief.
The followers around him also looked at each other in bewilderment. The ridicule and disdain in their eyes disappeared, replaced by deep fear.
"Hmph, it's just luck! Once they recover from the test of their inner demons, it will be difficult to deal with them!" Young Master Ling Feng's eyes were vicious, and a strong sense of jealousy and unwillingness surged in his heart.
He gripped the sword tightly in his hand, his fingertips turning white, and secretly wondered how to defeat Shi Yi and Shi Hao completely.
The elders of the holy land and Venerable Jiuyang were relieved to see Shi Yi and Shi Hao successfully break through the test of their inner demons.
The elder of the holy land stroked his beard, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Good! You are worthy of being the genius disciple of my holy land, you are indeed extraordinary!" Venerable Jiuyang also nodded slightly, his eyes full of satisfaction.
Fairy Mingyue stood on the high platform. Seeing that the two were safe and sound, a faint smile appeared on her cold face.
She silently blessed them in her heart, hoping that they would achieve better results in the next trials.
Just when Shi Yi and Shi Hao had just broken through their inner demons and their strength had not yet fully recovered, a fierce light flashed in Young Master Ling Feng's eyes.
He thought this was a perfect opportunity... "Do it!"
At a command from Master Lingfeng, dozens of black shadows rushed out from behind him. All of them had a cold and murderous aura. They were obviously the assassins he had carefully trained.
They held sharp blades in their hands and pounced on Shi Yi and Shi Hao like a group of hungry wolves.
"Despicable villain!" Shi Hao shouted angrily, the supreme bone flashed with light, and a powerful force burst out from his body.
Although his strength had not yet fully recovered, he remained fearless, waving his fists to meet the oncoming enemies.
Shi Yi's eyes were sharp, with golden light flowing in his pupils, and he was observing every move of the enemy.
His figure was elusive, like a ghost, weaving in and out of the enemy's attacks. Every move he made was extremely accurate, repelling the enemy.
"Hmph, a dying struggle!" Young Master Ling Feng sneered, the sword in his hand shone brightly, and a sharp sword energy rushed straight towards Shi Yi.
"Let me end your lives!"
The sword energy was like a rainbow, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and it arrived in front of Shi Yi in an instant.
Shi Yi didn't dare to take it head-on, and dodged the attack with a flash of his body.
The sword energy brushed past the edge of his clothes, leaving a deep groove on the ground.
"Brother!" Shi Hao was very worried when he saw this.
He fought hard to repel the enemies in front of him and wanted to support Shi Yi, but he was entangled by more enemies and could not escape.
Young Master Lingfeng pressed forward step by step, his sword moves were sharp and deadly.
Although Shi Yi was agile, he eventually fell into a disadvantage because he had not recovered his strength.
He had wounds all over his body and his clothes were stained with blood.
"Haha, Shi Yi, your doomsday has come!" Young Master Ling Feng laughed triumphantly, and the sword in his hand danced more fiercely, like a storm, enveloping Shi Yi.
Shi Yi clenched his teeth, and the golden light in his pupils became more and more dazzling.
He kept dodging, looking for Young Master Ling Feng's flaws.
He knew that he had to hold on and not fall down, otherwise both he and Shi Hao would lose their lives.
At this moment, Shi Yi suddenly discovered that after each sword strike by Master Ling Feng, there would be a brief pause.
The pause was so subtle that if he didn't have double pupils, he wouldn't have been able to detect it at all.
"Now!" Shi Yi thought to himself. He took a deep breath, endured the severe pain in his body, and suddenly flashed to the left of Master Lingfeng.
At the same time, Shi Hao also seized an opportunity, repelled the enemies who were entangled with him, and rushed towards Young Master Ling Feng.
The two brothers' eyes met and they understood each other.
"Xiao Hao, come together!" Shi Yi shouted in a low voice.
"Okay!" Shi Hao responded and stepped forward.
The two men attacked at the same time, Shi Yi's fist was shining with golden light, and Shi Hao's fist was shining with the brilliance of the supreme bone.
The two powerful forces gathered together, like a volcanic eruption, and hit Master Lingfeng hard on the back.
"Ah!" Young Master Ling Feng screamed, the sword in his hand fell out of his hand, and his body fell heavily to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
He struggled to get up, but found that he had lost the ability to move.
"You..." Young Master Ling Feng's eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness. He pointed at Shi Yi and Shi Hao and said in a hoarse voice, "Just wait for me..."
Young Master Ling Feng was struck by lightning and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
He widened his eyes in disbelief, the resentment and unwillingness in his eyes almost becoming tangible.
He took great pains to lay a tight net, thinking he could kill Shi Yi and Shi Hao, but he failed unexpectedly and ended up being seriously injured.
"Waste! A bunch of waste!" Young Master Ling Feng struggled to stand up and roared at the assassins he brought with him.
These assassins were all silent, lowering their heads and not daring to speak.
They had witnessed with their own eyes how powerful Shi Yi and Shi Hao were, and were already frightened.
Shi Yi and Shi Hao did not pursue the victory.
Although Young Master Ling Feng was injured, he was the legitimate son of the Ling family after all. If he was really killed, it would inevitably lead to crazy revenge from the Ling family.
"Ling Feng, my two brothers have taken note of what happened today." Shi Yi's tone was icy, with a cold light flashing in his pupils. "I hope you will take care of yourself."
Young Master Ling Feng's face was pale. He covered his chest and staggered backwards.
He knew that he would always remember the shame of today.
He swore that one day, he would make Shi Yi and Shi Hao pay the price!
Seeing Master Ling Feng fleeing in a panic, the disciples watching the fight were in an uproar.
They originally thought that Shi Yi and Shi Hao were doomed to die, but they didn't expect that the two of them would turn the tide and defeat Young Master Ling Feng.
"Senior Brothers Shi Yi and Shi Hao are truly amazing!"
"It's incredible that they could defeat Master Lingfeng!"
"It seems that they will definitely stand out in this Holy Land Trial!"
The voices of the crowd reached the ears of Shi Yi and Shi Hao, but the two of them looked calm, without the slightest hint of pride.
They knew that this was just the beginning of the trial and greater challenges were yet to come.
At this moment, a powerful pressure descended from the sky, covering the entire trial site.
Everyone looked up and saw an old man in a golden robe standing in the air. His hair and beard were all white, his face was dignified, and he exuded a powerful aura. He was none other than the elder of the holy land.
"Shi Yi, Shi Hao, you have passed the test of your inner demons." The Holy Land elder's voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the trial site. "Your performance has impressed me greatly."
As the elder of the holy land finished speaking, a stream of pure energy descended from the sky and injected into Shi Yi and Shi Hao's bodies.
The two of them just felt comfortable all over, and the strength in their bodies was greatly enhanced.
The strength that was originally consumed due to the battle was instantly restored to its original state, and even increased to a higher level.
Shi Yi felt that the golden light in his pupils was even brighter, as if it could see through all illusions.
Shi Hao felt that the power of the Supreme Bone was even stronger, as if it contained endless potential.
"Thank you, Elder!" Shi Yi and Shi Hao bowed respectfully.
The Holy Land Elder nodded slightly, glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "Next, you will face the final test."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground in the center of the trial site suddenly cracked, and a huge stone platform slowly rose.
The stone platform exuded a chilling atmosphere, as if it was the gate to hell.
"The stage of life and death..." Venerable Jiuyang said in a low voice, with a hint of solemnity in his tone.
Shi Yi and Shi Hao looked at each other, and a hint of determination flashed in their eyes.
They stepped onto the life and death stage with only one thought in their minds: no matter what challenges lay ahead, they must move forward bravely!
The moment Shi Yi took his first step onto the life and death stage, he felt a powerful pressure coming at him, as if it was going to crush him.
He took a deep breath and looked forward with a determined gaze.
Shi Hao followed closely behind, also stepping onto the life and death stage. He clenched his fists, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
"The last level..." Shi Yi said in a low voice.
"It's begun..." Shi Hao's voice echoed in the wind.
