Chapter 204: Master Kong is assassinated
“It’s really impressive.”

"Zheng Zhan" looked at the tall tower not far away, which seemed to reach the sky.

Mingde Hall promotes the development of the technological era. For example, the soul-guided street lamps that use soul power ores to charge, the soul-guided screens introduced by the Starlight Auction House that can be controlled by ordinary people as long as they have soul power ores, and countless soul-guided technologies that are gradually changing the times are mostly produced in Mingde Hall.

And here.

The Sun and Moon Royal Hall.

Like this tall tower, it pushes the soul guide device toward the "sky" and toward God.

At the main entrance of the worship hall.

Although it looks like a tall tower, it is not an ancient rock tower. The bronze exterior gleams with a metallic luster under the sunlight, giving it a feeling of the Mechanicus in the steam age against the extraordinary background of fantasy novels.

"Master Worshiper." The two Soul Saints, whose bodies were covered with soul guides like armor, spoke respectfully to Su, Shen, and Zheng Zhan.

"Are Master Kong and the other priests here?" Old Su asked.

"Yes, except for the three, no one else has gone out recently." The guard replied respectfully.

Old Shen took out a piece of strange jade with the sun and the silver moon engraved on both sides, placed it on the device on the other side, and injected his soul power into it. The next second, the door slowly opened under the action of the machinery, and the metal door weighing dozens of tons and half a meter thick rose up.

The three entered the tower.

The tower has many floors, and the stairs spiral upward, like a ladder to God.

"Tada ta..." A sound of footsteps was heard.

The specially made metal walls have excellent sound insulation, ensuring that the soul guides in the room will not be disturbed by other external environments, so the outside world will be silent.

next second.

With a "dong~" sound.

A figure suddenly fell from the top of the tower.

"Old Su?" An old man in red looked at Zheng Zhan and his companions.

"Old Li." Old Su greeted the newcomer, "Are you going out?"

"Yes." The old man called Lao Li nodded gently, "I won't chat with you for now. The golden clouds stored in the hall are not enough. Master Kong asked me to ask the emperor to approve some more."

"Wait a moment." Old Su reached out and grabbed Old Li.

"how?"

"Old Li." Old Shen showed a mysterious smile on his face, "I recently got a good treasure, do you want to take a look?"

"What?" Old Li became interested. Soul engineers are always curious.

"This." Old Shen stretched out his hand, and a piece of strange green metal appeared in his hand. It looked like jade but not jade, and like gold but not gold. It seemed to be made of liquid. When it appeared in an instant, an extremely rich vitality lingered on it.

"Zheng Zhan" stood behind Su and Shen intentionally or unintentionally, controlling their words and actions through the master-servant contract. A gray breath that transcended this world lingered around his neck, hiding his breath.

"Treasure!" Old Li exclaimed.

The body's instinctive desire for life force cannot be stopped.

Mr. Li’s eyes were fixed on the gold of life.

The next moment, a gray spiritual light burst out from the center of Zheng Zhan's eyebrows and shot into the spiritual sea where Li Lao's eyebrows were located.

The spiral staircase fell silent in an instant.

It seemed like a moment had passed, but it also seemed like a very long time had passed.

Elder Shen put away the Gold of Life, and continued to walk up the stairs with Elder Su and Zheng Zhan. Elder Li's expression changed, but he said nothing. He stood there as if he didn't see the three people walking up. He took out all the ninth-level soul guides he had, charged the ones that needed to be charged, and injected soul power into them, as if he was preparing for an upcoming battle.

Fifteen to five.

A smile appeared on the corner of "Zheng Zhan's" mouth.

This "Old Li" was a pleasant surprise.

"We're here." Old Su stopped at a certain floor of the tower.

"Zheng Zhan" took out something and Mr. Shen took it.

Walk through the long metal passage to the end and swipe the card to open the door.

It was a large silver metal room, more than 20 meters high, filled with all kinds of extraordinary instruments. Rare metals rarely seen in the outside world could be seen everywhere, and even some scrapped ones were thrown on the ground at random. The knowledge that the eighth-level soul masters wanted to see was densely written on the wall and calculated in formulas. Several elderly people who looked old were either holding an exquisite soul guide core array and looking at it with frowns, or holding a list of engraving knives with calloused hands, and engraving the core arrays neatly, just like an artist carving art.

"Master Kong."

Elder Su stepped forward and saluted as a disciple to one of the white-haired but burly old men. His 1.8-meter stature was not very tall in the overdeveloped Douluo Continent, but his temperament was extremely extraordinary, like a towering mountain, and his bright eyes, which were extremely inconsistent with his appearance, flashed with the light of thought and wisdom.

Kong Deming, the current number one soul master in the continent. "Master Kong." Elder Shen stepped forward and bowed slightly.

The other nine-level soul masters seemed to have not noticed the people who came in, and continued to do their own things, immersed in their research. Kong Deming put down the metal with the core array engraved on it, turned around and looked at the people, and the next second, his eyes were attracted by what Mr. Shen was holding.

It was a cyan crystal carving knife, as clear as water, emitting a faint cyan light without a trace of impurities.

The golden carving knife of living things.

In other words, it is the golden carving knife that hosts the soul of Electrolux.

"I got this item by chance and found it to be extremely extraordinary. I hope it can be helpful to Master Kong's research." Mr. Shen handed it to Kong Deming.

"This..." Kong Deming's attention was instantly attracted by the extraordinary golden carving knife of living things. He reached out to take it, looked at the object carefully with his eyes, injected soul power with his fingertips, and a soul guide device similar to a combination of glasses and a helmet appeared on his head.

As the number one soul engineer of the Sun-Moon Empire, he has come into contact with countless metals and jades over the past hundreds of years, but he has never come into contact with this kind of thing. Even without using spiritual power to perceive it, the pure and rich life energy is amazing. Just by touching it, Kong Deming felt as if he was younger, and even the bottleneck of soul power that had been stuck seemed to loosen a little.

treasure!

A rare treasure never seen before.

"You want to present this to me?" Kong Deming's voice was filled with excitement.

"Yes." Mr. Shen nodded.

"This is too precious." Kong Deming couldn't put it down as he played with the carving knife in his hand. His excitement was so strong that his hands were shaking. "This is the finest material I have ever seen in my life."

"Mother of Metal! This might be the legendary Mother of Metal!"

Other ninth-level soul masters:?!
What did they just hear?
Mother of Metal?

Where is the mother of metal?

Many eyes were cast over, and their attention was instantly attracted by the carving knife in Kong Deming's hand.

"Really...really?"

"Could Master Kong have made a mistake?"

"This metal actually exists?!"

A series of fiery eyes were fixed on the carving knife in Kong Deming's hand, not because of the vitality on it, but because of the material of the carving knife itself.

For those soul masters who have deeply studied and researched soul guides, rare metals are much more tempting than power, wealth and beauty, just like a beautiful woman wearing seductive clothes and using seductive movements and language to a pervert. This is one of the reasons why several previous ninth-level soul masters were so easily lured into the Imperial Dragon Soul Guide Corps by Xu Tianyuan with rare metals as a reward. Of course, it was also because no one would have expected that the leader of the Imperial Dragon Soul Guide Corps had become an enemy.

"How about this." Kong Deming looked at Elder Shen, his eyes full of joy and kindness, "Xiao Shen, from now on, you will follow me to study the tenth-level soul guide. The benefits of this thing will be shared by you and me as master and disciple."

Together, master and apprentice?

The other four level nine soul masters in the room looked at Mr. Shen with envy. This was almost like Master Kong wanted to treat him as his personal disciple. Although Master Kong had taught most of the level nine soul masters in the Sun Moon Empire, the others were basically registered disciples. However, even if they were asked to exchange the Mother of Metal for this opportunity, they might not be willing to give it up.

"Thank you, Teacher." Mr. Shen leaned forward excitedly, preparing to perform the formal etiquette of becoming a disciple.

"Congratulations, Mr. Shen."

"Congratulations."

In this cheerful atmosphere.

Sudden.

"boom!"

The cheerful atmosphere in the room came to an abrupt end.

There was a look of deep disbelief in their eyes, as if they had seen something impossible.

Kong Deming, the number one soul master of the Sun-Moon Empire, had his head, heart, and lungs pierced by three illusory gray chains in the Sun-Moon Royal Worship Hall, under the watchful eyes of several ninth-level soul masters. An indescribable strange power was wandering on the chains. It was so sudden, so sudden that even Kong Deming did not react. His cheeks were still filled with excitement, and his eyes were still fixed on the blue crystal carving knife in his hand.

Ninth-level necromancy magic—Forbidden Soul Death Chain.

Considering the existence of soul-triggered defensive soul guides, Eleks deliberately chose this magic. The forbidden spell was too powerful and could easily kill someone accidentally, and it was difficult to catch someone off guard. However, this magic was very close to the forbidden spell in some aspects.

Everything happens in an instant.

"What?!" A ninth-level soul engineer reacted as quickly as he could and tried to activate his soul guide. However, at this moment, a flaming sword was already swinging towards him, triggering his trigger soul guide. He was thrown aside by the blazing flames. Before he could react, he was greeted by a violent storm of attacks.

On the other side, Mr. Shen’s attack triggered the trigger-type defensive soul guide of another ninth-level soul engineer. The violent lightning seemed to swallow him up, suppressing the opponent tightly.

Universe.

At the same time as Alex took action, the figure of "Zheng Zhan" suddenly appeared beside the two ninth-level soul masters. Before the two ninth-level soul masters could recover from their desire for the gold of life and the shock of Kong Deming's assassination, the huge and surging blood and energy power drowned and swallowed them like a huge wave, and the trigger-type defensive soul guides on their bodies were triggered.

It feels like the trigger-type defensive soul guide is the standard for ninth-level soul guides. Looking at the two ninth-level soul guides who were still blown away by the huge force and hit the wall heavily, An Zhen sighed inwardly.

But as long as you have the ability, who wouldn’t want to get themselves something like this to save their life?
