As soon as the Human Emperor Banner came out, I became the Lord of the Old Ones

Chapter 210 It’s your own fault
What happened next was somewhat unexpected for Sheikh Krat.

As the "Gargoyle" and the "Crimson Noble" raised their claws, the blood that had splattered from Chu Zhifeng's torn skin also clung to them in dense beads.

Even the "Mist Mushroom" and the "Hero's Tombstone" were covered with fine bloodstains.

More thick, viscous blood quietly spread to Sheikh Krat's feet.

Now, all the blood seemed to come alive, rippling and undulating in layers.

Tentacle-like tendrils emerged from the viscous blood plasma.

The round blood droplets continued to extend, stretching and intertwining, transforming into a vast, blood-red spiderweb that stretched from the "Gargoyle" to the "Crimson Noble," and even the "Mist Mushroom" and the "Hero's Tombstone" were not spared.

A few streaks of blood still tried to spread to Sheikh Krat's face.

He tore it off with a look of disgust on his face and burned it to ashes with invisible spiritual flames.

Indeed, blood vessels are very fragile and may not appear to be harmful at first glance.

However, the "gargoyles" and "crimson nobles" shrouded in blood-red spider webs showed blank expressions, and their movements became stiff and hesitant.

Instead, the dark flame deep within his eyes gradually became more active and brighter.

Chu Zhifeng, now just a skeleton, grinned, his mouth devoid of lips and cheeks, leaving only a few teeth, and let out a chilling laugh from the dark hole.

"Boss, this is the new form of 'Silver Moon Meteor,' isn't it amazing?"

As he laughed, the countless strands of blood-red spider web trembled, pulling at the four guardian spirits summoned by Sheikh Krat, which swayed as if they had awakened their own consciousness.

"Damn Soul-Eating Body!"

The owner of the Shattered Star Club looked extremely grim.

As a product of the uncontrolled remnants of an ancient soul, the combat power of the Soul-Eating Body may not be that strong.

But like bacteria and viruses, they easily infect the guardian spirits around them, causing the dazed guardian spirits to begin pondering two crucial questions for intelligent life:

who am I?
What am I doing?
If it is a single-card spirit master, because of the long-term contract with a single guardian spirit, they will never abandon each other in daily life and life-and-death battles. They often rely on morality and emotions to transcend the elements of profit and contract, and form a strong bond.

Even if a guardian spirit awakens its self-awareness and even recalls everything from its previous life, it is not easy for it to betray its master.

Unfortunately, the "single-card strategy" is a thing of the past.

The currently popular "multi-card flow" treats the remnants of the past merely as tools. There is no warm friendship or morality between the spirit master and the guardian spirit, only cold contracts and interests.

The so-called "bonds" have become an old relic, ridiculed by the new generation, just like the no-card strategy.

Nowadays, more and more people treat the way of controlling spirits as a transaction or even as a means of enslavement.

This is especially true for low- to middle-level remnant souls whose self-awareness is blurred and whose memories are fragmented.

In the past, single-card-based spirit masters liked to communicate deeply with them, helping them recall more of their past, awaken higher levels of wisdom and independent consciousness, and become true partners or even family members.

The current multi-card-style spirit masters tend to use special rune arrays to block all their memories except for combat skills, locking away their possibility of awakening free will, and turning them into the purest killing machines.

Only in this way can a Spirit Master summon multiple Guardian Spirits simultaneously and execute their will with perfect ease. As long as the seal is deepened regularly, the contract is maintained, and new terms are added, this practice is, in principle, without any problems.

The problem is that the Corrosive Spirits are like carriers of deadly viruses. Even if they don't have much offensive power, the virus inside them can easily break through the seals on other Guardian Spirits, causing them to start having wild thoughts, recalling more past events, and awakening more desires. They gradually question why they, who were once powerful, proud, and free, were trapped in that damned card, like a dog, obediently serving their so-called master.

Sheikh Krat felt his control over his guardian spirit was weakening.

It's hard to describe this feeling.

It was as if he was leading four hunting dogs through his brain nerves, which was originally quite easy to manage.

But now, the hunting dogs have become war hounds or even hellhounds, rampaging wildly with their savage will.

It not only strained his brain nerves to the point of almost breaking them.

He even sensed that Cerberus might suddenly turn around and scrutinize him with a chilling gaze, as if it might turn on him at any moment.

However, all four guardian spirits are on the verge of going out of control.

Chu Zhifeng, however, spread his ten fingers, which were now nothing but bones, and plunged them deep into his own chest, completely tearing his riddled chest cavity apart.

"Splash, splash, splash!"

His heart had originally swelled to three to five times the size of a normal person's, enough to burst his sternum.

After the previous blow, the heart contracted slightly, but the blood vessels coiled on it throbbed and vibrated at an even higher frequency, causing the entire heart to emit a deep purple color that symbolized death.

Chu Zhifeng's body was completely devoid of intact flesh. With each heartbeat, the pumped blood would gush out through thousands of wounds, forming a deep purple blood mist.

But as if he felt the blood loss wasn't fast enough, he gently cupped his heart in his hands with a strange smile.

Then, it squeezed hard.

“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!”

The blood, which was almost drained, has now transformed back into countless tiny arrows of blood.

Sheikh Krat was horrified. He hadn't understood what the out-of-control Erosion Body was trying to do at first, but he soon discovered that the blood arrows were merging into the blood mist, which was turning into a sea of ​​blood. Above the sea of ​​blood, a crimson crescent moon was slowly rising.

"Boss, you said we not only have to win, but we have to win beautifully."

Holding his heart in his hands, Chu Zhifeng smiled and said, "Then please enjoy my most magnificent skill!"

Bones embedded in flesh and blood, he crushed his own heart.

The crimson crescent moon shattered like a beautiful red crystal, each cluster of crystal fragments transforming into the shape of a fragment of an ancient weapon. All the fragments were then bound together by the rapidly writhing blood mist, forming an unpredictable, all-pervasive, and devastating tide of death.

This was originally the core skill of "Silver Moon Meteor" called "Moon Shadow Ice Wheel".

It was Sheikh Krat who, countless times, gritted his teeth, grabbed Chu Zhifeng's ear, and yelled at him to unleash that spectacular move he insisted on during the match.

At this moment, however, it bloomed in a more magnificent and deadly manner before the owner of the Shattered Star Club, dazzlingly brilliant.
