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

Chapter 215 Fratricide
Xu Yan let out a burp.

Holding the bulging, muscular arm, I entered a kind of sage-like state, beginning to wonder if I had been too greedy just now.

The deck consisting of "Mist Fungus", "Gargoyle" and "Crimson Noble" is quite unique.

It may even have the opportunity to create a wonderful chemical reaction with the "Deep Blade," which also belongs to the First Era and is more underground and dark.

Perhaps we shouldn't use the Emperor's Banner to completely crush them, but rather recruit them for our own use.

However, after thinking about it carefully, I decided against it.

Sheikh Krat is the central figure in the maelstrom.

Regardless of where his cards came from, they must have left behind a large number of records.

Summoning these distinctive guardian spirits in public will definitely cause unnecessary trouble.

Besides, I don't plan to go down the multi-card route.

At least I'm not going to take that foolish, traditional multi-card strategy that merely uses the main body as a human battery, weakening myself into a "spirit-summoning snail" while strengthening the guardian spirit.

The Emperor's Banner has been starving for too long.

After practicing the "Mind Palace Meditation Method," my spiritual world became more stable and was more than capable of matching the more powerful Human Emperor Banner.

It's more important to fill your stomach.

Besides, there's an even more intriguing scent floating on the layer above!

Half a minute later, Xu Yan returned to the training ground on the second floor.

This place has turned into a writhing pool of blood.

Chu Zhifeng was just blown to smithereens by the combined attack of "Gargoyle" and "Crimson Noble".

But the thick blood and blood plasma that looked like a mixture of internal organs were still rippling slightly.

When Xu Yan gently stepped on it, he could feel as if countless arms, thinner than toothpicks, were reaching out from the pool of blood, trying to grab his foot, burrow into his body, and obtain a new shell.

Of course, before these tentacle-like arms could even climb onto Xu Yan's feet, they were completely burned to ashes by the Primordial Purple Qi swirling around him.

Xu Yan squinted, patiently searching through the bubbling, rippling blood plasma.

Soon, he found a lump of something no bigger than a fist, resembling a melting red ice cream.

Chu Zhifeng's heart.

It is also the source of the powerful resentment that the Human Emperor Banner sensed.

Centered on the heart, the surrounding blood is exceptionally viscous and thick.

Even amidst the interplay of ripples, a face remarkably similar to Chu Zhifeng's was formed, yet one that grew increasingly obsessed and mad.

"I...I won!"

"I won the Dawn Cup!"

"I am the champion, I am the eternal... champion!"

The large face lying in the pool of blood resembled a broken tape recorder, seemingly echoing these few words.

Xu Yan squatted down in front of the blood-faced man.

Extend a finger and gently poke the melting heart, drawing the other person's attention to him.

No, you lost.

Xu Yan said calmly, "You lost to Hou Zhijian in the first round of the top 32 competition. Don't even mention the championship, you're not even in the top 16. You're a complete loser, a clown who is ridiculed and despised by everyone."

Chu Zhifeng's heart stopped beating.

It then contracted violently, emitting a shrill, leaky whistle.

The man with the large face lying in the pool of blood first gritted his teeth and let out a fierce but cowardly roar.

Then it twisted and went completely mad, trying to break free from the constraints of the two-dimensional plane, transforming into a truly gaping maw to devour Xu Yan and the cruel truth. "Interesting, is this Chu Zhifeng's remnant soul?"

Xu Yan shook his head, denying the guess.

Like everyone else living in the Age of Heroes, Chu Zhifeng died because of some unknown factor, and it was impossible for him to leave behind any remnant soul.

This is a spirit-eating body stripped of human flesh and blood.

More accurately, it was a "blood moon meteor" tainted with all of Chu Zhifeng's resentment, regret, grievances, and ambition!
According to the laws of the Heroic Spirit Alliance, regardless of strength, the only way to deal with Spirit Devourers once they are discovered is to completely eliminate them.

Even if it cannot be eliminated for the time being, it must be sealed away with the highest level of protection by all means.

You must never have the idea of ​​"extracting the remnants of the old soul from the Corrupted Spirit Body and refining them into a Guardian Spirit".

This is because the Corrupting Spirit Body is extremely unstable and has a morbid craving for human flesh and blood.

Just like a ferocious beast that has tasted the deliciousness of human flesh, even if it is temporarily subdued by the tamer's whip, it will soon relapse and turn into a man-eating demon.

Countless brilliant spirit masters have tried to restore the Corrupted Spirit Body to a normal person, while also extracting and weaponizing the remnants of its old soul.

Their fates were all tragic.

However, Xu Yan is not a Spirit Master in the conventional sense.

In a sense, he and the writhing pool of blood in front of him were of the same kind.

They are all spirit-corroding bodies.

Xu Yan smiled slightly and unfurled the Human Emperor Banner.

The blood plasma that had just formed into a gaping maw seemed to have been struck hard by a burning leather whip, squealing and turning back into streaks of blood that fled in panic.

Xu Yan remained calm, and the Primordial Purple Qi surrounded it from all directions, blocking the path of the "Blood Moon Meteor".

The extremely weak "Blood Moon Meteor" bumped into obstacles everywhere and gradually shrank into a trembling ball.

Xu Yan took the opportunity to flick out a crystal coin.

Sheikh Kratt's carefully selected top-quality crystal coins, each one of extremely high purity, were an impregnable haven for the "Blood Moon Meteor," who was on the verge of annihilation.

Hundreds of blood lines rushed into the crystal coin.

The once crystal-clear coin was instantly filled with crisscrossing blood vessels, trembling like the eyeballs of some kind of demon.

When all the blood lines had penetrated into it, Xu Yan grabbed the crystal coins in his hand.

Sensing the crystal coin still vibrating restlessly at high frequencies, he released a few wisps of primordial purple energy, slowly and methodically roasting the remnant soul of the past, which was tainted with the aura of a living person, while continuously increasing his grip, as if he wanted to crush the crystal coin completely.

The coin stopped vibrating.

It seems that "Blood Moon Meteor" understands its situation and future.

well.

Xu Yan felt that he might be able to refine a new sealing card and transfer "Blood Moon Meteor" into it.

On the one hand, the area-of-effect attack of "Blood Moon Meteor" is very suitable for dealing with a large number of enemies, making up for the shortcomings of "Lin" and "Jelly".

On the other hand, he can also use "Blood Moon Meteor" to delve into the essence of the Soul-Eating Body and understand his own situation.

There might be a chance to find the source of the problem with the "Silver Moon Meteor" that is so easily out of control, and use it as a bargaining chip in the game with "China Life".

"Its daybreak."

A ray of dawn shone on the completely dried pool of blood.

The sound of hurried engines and footsteps came from outside the window.

The large group searching for Chu Zhifeng arrived late.

Before they could break down the door of the Shattered Star Club, Xu Yan, carrying a bulging backpack, had already disappeared into the darkness.
