Chapter 3, Possession

The old man, however, paid no attention and merely urged Jiang Cen to bite quickly

You would kill even if given treasures

He intends to seize your body, yet you do not assist me in tearing apart his soul power!

Jiang Cen bit down hard, but could not break through.

Killed again and again

The scholar retracted his treasured sword and unexpectedly sat down cross-legged on the spot, his hands forming a strange hand seal, while he murmured an incomprehensible and peculiar incantation that Jiang Cen could not understand.

Damn it! The Sword-wielding Scholar said resentfully, "You actually want to merge that treasure, I cannot allow you to succeed!"

After a moment, the scholar suddenly ceased all movements, even his breathing came to a halt

"Are you very afraid of death?" the old man asked

Jiang Cen immediately focused on the green light cluster and bit down, and indeed, several strands of green silk were torn off. After being torn away, these green silks transformed into tiny glowing lights that scattered like fireflies.

Haha, the old man has awakened, finally awakened

Is that so? The old man suddenly responded, seemingly intrigued.

Ah! The green light group let out a mournful cry, and the voice belonged to the scholar they encountered

"It is not impossible to spare him," the old man suddenly said to Jiang Cen. "In any case, I have ways to keep him in check. Whether to spare him or not depends on your decision!"

Meanwhile, a sudden ancient voice appeared in his mind, causing a deafening roar in his ears

"Fool!" the old man exclaimed angrily, "Why are you biting at my golden silk soul power! Bite at his soul power! It's that green light orb!"

Jiang Cen's resentment towards the scholar was vented, and he bit down even harder

The old man laughed heartily: "You are very afraid of death, which is quite good!"

Strangely, a jade pendant the size of half a palm smoothly slid into the abdomen after entering, without any difficulty in swallowing at all

He believes that returning to the starting point time and again after each death, this scholar is indeed the root cause of the calamity

The now larger Jiang Cen bit down even harder and more efficiently, as the scholar's green light orb gradually disintegrated and shrank.

Jiang Cen desperately bit down, and with each bite, the green light orb would shrink a little bit.

"What is that golden light orb? Who are you?" The voice of a scholar emerged from the green light orb

"If you don't want to die, act quickly!" The golden light urged again, "My remaining soul cannot hold him back for too long!"

I do not want to die!" Jiang Cen immediately responded. The old man's words struck a chord with his thoughts

What are you still dawdling for!" Jiang Cen suddenly heard the voice of the old man from earlier, which came from that golden light cluster

The dragon-patterned jade has disappeared! Jiang Cen was taken aback; he felt as if he had swallowed nothing foreign, as if he had merely consumed a candy...! ... And it was a candy that melted in his mouth!

He could only watch helplessly as the orb of light flew towards his face, then collided with his forehead.

"I shall cooperate with you!" After the old man spoke these words, the golden orb suddenly emitted an even more intense golden light, and strands of golden threads emerged from it, merging into Jiang Cen's green light point, causing Jiang Cen's green light point to expand significantly.

Jiang Cen knew that this was not the voice of the Sword-wielding Scholar, yet there was no one else around. Moreover, this voice seemed to emanate from the depths of his own heart, creating a very peculiar sensation

The scholar cried out in agony again and again, addressing the elder: "Senior, you already possess golden soul power, and your cultivation must be extremely high! Why do you choose to assist this nameless junior? As long as you cooperate with me, once I seize this young man's body, I will follow your every command!"

It seemed as if an invisible force was isolating the sphere of light, blocking it. However, after several collisions, this invisible force weakened, and the sphere of light unexpectedly entered Jiang Cen's body directly

The scholar arrived late, and Jiang Cen had already swallowed the dragon-patterned jade.

Jiang Cen immediately went to tear at the green light mass, biting off strands of green silk one by one

"I am very afraid!" Jiang Cen said, "I am more afraid than death!"

As he spoke, the scholar thrust a sword at Jiang Cen

Jiang Cen slowly floated over, the green glowing orb was more than a hundred times larger than Jiang Cen, yet it was entangled by the golden strands of light surrounding it, rendering it unable to move

"Senior, please reconsider," the scholar continued to persuade, "This unknown junior has nothing to offer! By collaborating with the younger generation, I can pave the way for you in the realm of cultivation!"

You still want to seize my body! Watch me not bite you to death!

"Spare me!" The scholar finally began to plead for mercy from Jiang Cen: "Young hero, spare my life! As long as you let me go, I promise to offer you countless benefits! Spirit stones, beautiful women, everything you could desire!"

Jiang Cen did not have time to evade, and he also knew that evasion was meaningless

His words are flawed, yet at this moment he does not know how to express himself. For him, dying in a dream means constantly returning to the starting point, which is even more terrifying than actual death

What does he want to do? Jiang Cen was in a great hurry; he could not even utter a word, and the only thing he could move were his eyes.

What should I do? Jiang Cen asked

Jiang Cen huddled in the corner, afraid to move

Jiang Cen felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing the greenish glow; he knew that what was to come would not be good, yet he found himself unable to move, unable to evade it

Moments later, he seemed to find himself in a dimly lit small room, where there was a greenish glow and a slightly smaller golden glow, while Jiang Cen himself was merely a small green dot the size of a yellow bean

The scholar was greatly enraged, but unfortunately, he was bound by the golden silk soul power and was unable to resist... Otherwise, he could probably swallow the little Jiang Cen in one bite

What is possession? What is soul power? Jiang Cen was completely bewildered, as it sounded like terminology from a fantasy novel

After about two or three minutes, a fist-sized green light orb slowly emerged from the scholar's forehead

Ah! Jiang Cen felt a sharp pain in his head, and his vision went dark; he could see nothing.

Two light clusters randomly entangle with each other, just like two cotton worms, you bite me once, and I bite you once

As long as he can avoid death, he is willing to make any effort! Because only by avoiding death can he break the deadlock he has fallen into!

Jiang Cen was greatly alarmed; he knew that without the old man's restraint, the scholar's green light orb could easily swallow him with just one counterattack

Let you kill me

"Bite him!" The words of the golden light orb are very concise

The green light cluster emitted a fluorescent glow that was eerie and terrifying, slowly flying towards Jiang Cen

I can also cooperate with you! Jiang Cen said anxiously: "As long as you let me live, I can agree to any conditions!"

Jiang Cen was taken aback. Could it be that the fear of death has become a commendable and praiseworthy virtue?

The Sword Master fell beside Jiang Cen, and he witnessed Jiang Cen swallow the dragon-patterned jade. At this moment, a single sword strike could easily slay Jiang Cen, yet this time, he surprisingly did not make a move

This sword surprisingly did not pierce Jiang Cen, who only felt a numbness at the point of impact, followed by a sensation as if his entire body had been sealed, rendering him unable to move

The golden light sphere did not respond, and the green light sphere aggressively lunged towards Jiang Cen, only to be suddenly blocked by the golden light sphere
