Infinite Terror: All members of the Zhongzhou team are wheelchair-level enhanced

Chapter 224 Chu Xuan aims to destroy the Central Continent Team; the Main God suppresses Zhang Jie.
Chu Xuan was completely unafraid of any traps or plans from his inner demons, and swaggered over.

Meanwhile, the inner demon Chu Xuan stood alone at the corner of Elm Street, waiting for the real Chu Xuan to arrive.

"You've come." As the real Chu Xuan approached, the inner demon Chu Xuan remained calm.

"Okay." The real Chu Xuan responded, "Let's begin."

Chu Xuan, the inner demon, nodded.

Freddy hid in the shadows, observing the whole situation in his unique way; he could see what was happening here between the original Chu Xuan and his clone.

Unlike others, these two did not engage in a battle between their true selves and their inner demons.

On the contrary, he seemed calm and composed.

The real Chu Xuan remained calm, and the inner demon Chu Xuan felt the same way.

If it weren't for the fact that Chu Xuan, the inner demon, has a dark style with black eyeshadow and black lips, the two would look almost identical.

The real Chu Xuan stood on the street, while the inner demon Chu Xuan suddenly transformed into a cloud of black mist, spreading in all directions.

The black aura covered a very large area, completely enveloping Chu Xuan.

The real Chu Xuan showed absolutely no resistance, and calmly said, "So that's how it is. All the preparations you made were to set up this formation to ensure that I was inside the demonic energy and to strip me of my protective measures."

Beneath the black aura, mysterious and complex runes flowed, acting on the true form of Chu Xuan and restricting his power.

He knows himself best. What the inner demon Chu Xuan did was to set up an array targeting the rune power of the real Chu Xuan.

"You are still not as good as me, or rather, from the moment you parted from me, even though you have all my previous memories, experiences and abilities."

"From the moment we parted ways, the gap between us began to widen gradually."

The real Chu Xuan raised his finger and said, "You know, I once exchanged for 'split thinking,' which means I have eight heads, and my other seven heads have never stopped working."

"You, with your inner demons, cannot do all of this; you are merely a demonic force."

"Without my body as a foundation, you're too weak."

"However, I'll cooperate with you this time."

The formation set up by the inner demon Chu Xuan was specifically designed to target the real Chu Xuan. The real Chu Xuan could defend against and break through it, but he chose to give up and actively cooperated.

"As expected of my true form." The black demonic energy surrounding the true form Chu Xuan emitted waves of sound.

The next moment, the surrounding black energy suddenly contracted and poured into Chu Xuan's body.

Chu Xuan, in his true form, made no attempt to intercept or defend himself, calmly accepting the influx of black demonic energy.

Soon, all the black demonic energy entered Chu Xuan's body.

Demonic energy appeared on Chu Xuan's face, and his lips began to turn black, signs of demonic possession. However, his expression remained calm.

"So that's how it is. My inner demon is... the Central Continent Team itself."

"The main reason I stayed with the Zhongzhou team was to 'develop a sense of belonging,' and my teammates on the Zhongzhou team were the environment in which I developed that sense of belonging."

"My inner demon is that I want to destroy this environment."

"Does the only way to overcome your inner demons be to kill members of the Central Continent Team, or else you can't overcome them?"

"My inner demons have really given me a tough challenge."

As expected of the Demon Chu Xuan, he knew that he could not defeat the real Chu Xuan by force.

Therefore, he used his own demonic energy and demonic thoughts to merge into the body of the real Chu Xuan, and told the real Chu Xuan all his information.

Then, let the real Chu Xuan make a choice.

The choice is to overcome one's inner demons, destroy the Central Continent Team, and become a god; or not overcome one's inner demons and thus be forever barred from becoming a god.

The inner demon Chu Xuan did not disappear; it simply returned to the body of the original Chu Xuan and became that initial thought.

Depending on Chu Xuan's choice, he will either appear or disappear.

Everything depends on the choice of the real Chu Xuan; all the power of choice has been given to the real Chu Xuan.

A blatant and overt conspiracy.

Faced with this question, Chu Xuan remained calm, showing no emotion whatsoever.

His surroundings were changing rapidly. Just like Zhan Lan and Zheng Zha, he too was trapped in a dream of despair before making his final decision.

But unlike others.

Chu Xuan's despairing dream was not meant to make him despair, but rather to present him with a choice.

His choice is likely to leave others in despair.

This is what makes him different from others; even his inner demons are different from others.

……

In the sky, Su Bai had transformed into his strongest battle form, the 'Half-Dragon Blood Clan' mode.

His eyes are the golden vertical pupils of a dragon, he has vampire fangs, demon horns on his head, and a pair of dragon wings on his back.

He held a dark red, murderous sword in his hand, which emanated a powerful demonic aura.

Opposite him was Su Bai, a dark inner demon, who had also transformed.

The two Su Bais look very similar, except that the inner demon Su Bai has a darker black tone.

The real Su Bai was completely calm, while the inner demon Su Bai was panting heavily, his eyes bloodshot, devoid of reason, driven only by the instinct to fight.

The two exchanged several blows, with Su Bai emerging victorious in both.

The real Su Bai did not directly eliminate the inner demon Su Bai; instead, he observed and analyzed the existence pattern of the inner demon Su Bai.

He possesses S-level swordsmanship aptitude, and everything he sees contains the essence of swordsmanship.

He saw the same way about Su Bai, the inner demon.

"The sword cuts through the flesh, the heart cuts through the soul; the sword will not hesitate," Su Bai murmured.

He suddenly slashed out with his sword, and a blood-red sword light flew out.

Upon seeing this, the inner demon Su Bai transformed into ten dragon bats to evade.

However, the blood-red sword light also split into ten beams in mid-air, each attacking one of the ten dragon bats.

Seeing that they couldn't escape, the ten dragon bats instinctively let out piercing cries.

However, those ten blood-red sword beams did not slay the ten dragon bats.

They suddenly transformed into blood-red ropes, binding all ten dragon bats together.

Then, the bound dragon bats were pulled back by the blood-red ropes and flew back into the dark red sword in Su Bai's hand.

This is a sword move that Su Bai figured out based on the actual situation.

After acquiring an S-rank swordsmanship physique, one can comprehend sword techniques like this effortlessly.

If it can't reach this level, then it doesn't justify the price of the S-Class.

"I will suppress my inner demons within my natal flying sword."

"My flying sword is about to awaken its own intelligence. Coincidentally, I have obtained five other magic sword manuals, including the relevant crafting methods."

"I can upgrade the quality of my flying sword by one level!"

Su Bai's current flying sword is at the 2A level, but it is a relatively weak one among 2A swords, and can be called a 'treasure weapon'.

It is generally used as a magic weapon in the Nascent Soul stage.

If it develops sentience, it will advance to a relatively strong 2A-level existence - 'Spiritual Artifact'.

These are typically weapons used by powerful mid-level fourth-tier cultivators or immortal saints and transcendent beings.

Many mythical weapons, even those that haven't reached the level of acquired spiritual treasures, are at this level.

Su Bai possesses both "treasure artifacts" and "spiritual artifacts" at the "Fourth Initial Realm," which enhance his combat power, making him stand out among his peers.

Above spiritual artifacts are acquired or innate spiritual treasures, also known as immortal artifacts or sacred artifacts.

At that time, advancement required extremely precious items from heaven and earth, and this level was unique.

Primordial spiritual treasures are born from heaven and earth, possess a unique core rune, and hold authority over the multiverse.

Acquired spiritual treasures are unique, but they need to be compared to an innate spiritual treasure and share the power of heaven and earth with it.

In terms of power, acquired spiritual treasures are not much different from innate spiritual treasures.

The specific power depends on the refining method, the refining techniques, and the authority of heaven and earth; it does not mean that innate spiritual treasures are necessarily more powerful than acquired spiritual treasures.

Among the acquired spiritual treasures, the most representative is the "Sea-Stabilizing Needle," also known as Sun Wukong's golden cudgel. It suppressed Su Bai's inner demons, meaning that from then on, Su Bai was free from inner demons and his path ahead was smooth.

His next upgrade path is to break through the Dan to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

"The inner demon has been suppressed. Next, we need to find Freddy and prepare to end the dream."

"Freddy's true form must be watching us. This time, Zhang Jie and I are here to overcome our inner demons."

"If Freddy's true form isn't with me, then he must be with Zhang Jie," Su Bai murmured.

Inside Su Bai's flying sword, after his inner demons were suppressed, Su Bai gradually regained his senses and had to accept his fate of being refined into resources and integrated into the sword.

But he can still gloat.

"What did you say? You said you came here with Zhang Jie to overcome your inner demons? Hahaha, just the two of you? Let me tell you, there were clearly five of you here to overcome your inner demons!"

"Hahaha, even if you eventually overcome your inner demons and return to the Main God Space to regain all your memories, you will know that your Central Continent team suffered heavy losses this time!"

"Hahaha."

The inner demon Su Bai sent out his thoughts from within the flying sword.

Su Bai frowned. "This time, in the process of overcoming our inner demons, it's not just Zhang Jie and me; are there three other teammates involved?"

"But I don't remember."

"Is this Freddy's power?"

"Wait... what was I thinking about just now?"

Even with Su Bai's reminder about his inner demons, Su Bai realized that he and Zhang Jie were not the only ones who had come to help him overcome his inner demons this time.

This 'consciousness', or rather 'thought', will also be quickly forgotten.

Su Bai will only ever remember that he and Zhang Jie came to help him overcome his inner demons.

The horror of the movie "A Nightmare on Elm Street" lies precisely in this.

Due to the unique nature of the strength attribute, even a fourth-tier powerhouse can be affected.

Moreover, the mortality rate is quite high.

"Hahaha, you've forgotten again." The inner demon Su Bai laughed heartily. "Just wait, the moment you find out all this, I'll watch you suffer!"

Su Bai has no inner demons, so what is there for Su Bai to argue about?

He quickly forgets his memories of his teammates other than Zhang Jie, and he doesn't experience much emotional fluctuation.

Even when I hadn't lost my memory yet, I was very calm.

After losing his memory, it was as if the incident had never happened, and he no longer experienced any emotional fluctuations.

Su Bai determined the direction and headed towards Zhang Jie's battlefield.

……

Zhang Jie battles his inner demon Zhang Jie. Just like with the others, the real Zhang Jie initially gains a huge advantage.

However, the inner demon Zhang Jie suddenly became very powerful, leaving the real Zhang Jie helpless and putting himself in danger multiple times.

Everything has been switched back, and the real Zhang Jie is now in crisis.

"Zhang Jie, my true self, what are you struggling for? What are you resisting?"

"You are just a dummy. You were originally just a guide who was even less than a robot."

"You have no real thoughts, you have no real memories."

"You are just an intelligent biological program created by the main god to infiltrate the Reincarnator team and evaluate and select members."

“You don’t even have a name; you’re not Zhang Jie at all.”

“You are an imposter. You stole the real Zhang Jie’s life. Your child, ‘Na’er,’ doesn’t love you. She loves the real Zhang Jie.”

"You've been deceiving her from the very beginning."

"You love her, yet you deceive her?"

"My true self, give up the resistance."

"Let me take control of your body."

"I will revive the real Zhang Jie and let the real Zhang Jie be with Na'er. They are the original couple."

“I will designate Su Bai as the true captain of the Central Continent Team.”

"You shouldn't even exist in this world."

The inner demon Zhang Jie patiently guided him, walking towards the real Zhang Jie, saying a sentence with each step.

When the inner demon Zhang Jie walks towards the real Zhang Jie, the inner demon Zhang Jie takes a step forward, and the real Zhang Jie takes a step back.

Every word was like a sledgehammer striking Zhang Jie's heart.

"You're wrong!" Zhang Jie, in his traditional form, was somewhat hysterical.

"I did indeed obtain Zhang Jie's memories, part of Zhang Jie's body, and Zhang Jie's way of thinking."

"I am not Zhang Jie, I have never claimed to be Zhang Jie, the reincarnator!"

"I am who I am!"

"My Na'er was created by the Supreme God based on my memories. The person my Na'er fell in love with is me, not the reincarnator Zhang Jie."

“I have always been the guide. It is only because I have inherited the legacy of the reincarnated Zhang Jie that I have his memories and way of thinking, and thus I have a vibrant life.”

Zhang Jie has never admitted that he is the reincarnated Zhang Jie; otherwise, he would have solved his problems long ago by resurrecting the reincarnated Zhang Jie.

Zhang Jie, the reincarnator, is Zhang Jie, the reincarnator.

The guide is Zhang Jie.

They are not the same person.

Like Dr. Isaacs infected by the black light in Resident Evil, or those zombie heroes.

Their intelligence is formed when the black light virus inside their bodies takes over their memories, thought patterns, and everything else.

Their behavior and combat capabilities are similar to the original.

After all, it possesses all the memories and thought patterns, so it is very similar.

But they are essentially Blacklight Virus life forms.

The guide Zhang Jie has everything that the reincarnator Zhang Jie has, but his essence is that of a guide.

"You...you're not my inner demon, are you? You're Freddy!"

"My inner demons wouldn't suddenly become stronger; there must be an external force involved. You are Freddy!"

The inner demon Zhang Jie gave a sinister smile, and his body suddenly changed, transforming into Freddy Krueger, who was covered in burn scars.

He wore a steel claw glove on his right hand, a black top hat, and a red and green striped sweater; his face was ferocious.

"Of all those who entered my dream this time, you were the weakest. They easily and completely took control of your inner demon body."

"Are you afraid of the power of that giant sphere of light?"

Freddy pointed to the giant orb of light above Elm Street and chuckled, "Then I'll use the power of this orb to kill you!"

He simply waved his hand.

A golden beam of light suddenly shone from the distant sphere of light of the main god, enveloping Zhang Jie.

"no, do not want."

Under the golden beam of light, the real Zhang Jie was like a monkey suppressed by the Five Finger Mountain, unable to move, his aura weak and listless, forced to cower in everything.

Zhang Jie covered his ears tightly, the iconic solemn voice of the Supreme God echoing in his mind.

[Zhang Jie, the guide, has repeatedly violated the meaning of being a guide, delaying the selection of a team leader. Your life is now revoked!]

This sentence kept repeating in Zhang Jie's mind, putting him under tremendous pressure.

And as the number of repetitions increased, Zhang Jie's body began to become illusory, as if his life had truly been taken away.

Freddy completely controlled Zhang Jie's inner demons, possessing the power of Zhang Jie's inner demons, and could control that main god's great light sphere.

Just as Zhang Jie was about to sink into a despairing dream, Su Bai's figure appeared from afar.
