Chapter 521: Chapter 309: Anomalies and Finding a Foothold

Shinkan Isshin, who has been wandering all day, is now walking towards the hotel along the street.

The night in Kyoto is very quiet.

So quiet that he could even hear his own footsteps clearly.

“Weak.”

“Really weak.”

Shinkan Isshin lowers his head, muttering to himself.

It seems like a sigh.

And a hint of resentment.

“Once upon a time, this place was thriving with martial arts, and everyone was like a dragon.”

“But now.”

“The top is weak.”

“The bottom is weak.”

“It’s simply…unworthy of being an Upper Country.”

The corners of Shinkan Isshin’s mouth curve up slightly.

But his face appears somewhat troubled.

He is happy because the strength of this country now is much weaker than he had imagined.

This means that his plan to use the “Divine Object” to devour the Heavenly Human Descendants and thus strengthen his spiritual power may encounter less resistance than expected.

However, he is troubled because, despite its weakness, his small mountain country has been far behind it for many years.

“It’s okay.”

After a brief moment of silence.

Perhaps he is reassuring himself in his heart.

The troubled expression on his face gradually fades.

“There will be change.”

Shinkan Isshin whispers again.

He gently strokes his neck.

As if talking to himself.

Or conversing with someone.

As his words fall.

Step.

Footsteps sound again.

But this time,

It doesn’t come from Shinkan Isshin himself.

“You’re the one from the small mountain country this time?”

A slightly provocative voice comes from the front.

Shinkan Isshin slowly raises his head.

A dark shadow in the not far away appears in his eyes.

The other party is wearing a large black robe, shadows covering everything beneath the hood.

Even their voice is hard to discern between male and female.

“What’s the matter?”

With a smile on his face, Shinkan Isshin asks in the language of the small mountain country.

It seems not unexpected.

Having lived for a long time, he relies on the spirit accumulation technique unique to the small mountain country to make his soul last forever.

Combined with that “Divine Object”

One could even infinitely strengthen the soul by devouring specific Heavenly Person Cells.

Shinkan Isshin.

Has been alive for a thousand years.

Although his soul has been dormant for most of the time.

But the intensity of his spiritual power, after a thousand years of accumulation and nourishment by most of the Heavenly Human Descendants in the small mountain country,

Has already reached a horrifying level.

Even though Zhong Shan and Huo Zheng are observing him cautiously.

But in fact,

Every move of the two,

Shinkan Isshin knows them all too well.

Of course, he also knows that the man in the black robe in front of him is dressed as Zhong Shan.

He,

Has been waiting for his opponent for a long time.

At this moment,

In response to Shinkan Isshin’s question,

Zhong Shan smirks.

He suddenly realizes that he doesn’t understand the language of the small mountain country.

Of course, he couldn’t understand what Shinkan Isshin was saying in that bird language.

But it is not a big problem.

Desire – Control the mind through language.

This ability only requires the other party to hear his voice.

Thinking so,

Under the black robe,

The enchanting purple light glows faintly.

“Kneel.”

The voice, mixed with mysterious power, quickly spreads.

Before the words have even fallen,

Shinkan Isshin’s eyes become instantly empty.

Next Second.

Thud!

This guest from the small mountain country,

Falls directly to his knees in front of Zhong Shan.

Huh?

Was it that easy?

Zhong Shan is rather surprised that the other party was controlled so easily.

Could this guy be as weak as he appeared in the afternoon?

But it shouldn’t be.

He is, after all, a disciple of the Great Cabinet of the small mountain country.

How could he be so weak?

Zhong Shan still has doubts in his heart.

He speaks again, ready to test further.

“Grab yourself—”

He speaks again.

Preparing to have Shinkan Isshin perform some dangerous actions to test the opponent’s bottom line.

However.

The moment their eyes meet,

Zhong Shan’s words come to an abrupt halt.

He stares at Shinkan Isshin, astonishment gradually rising in his eyes.

The divine light swirling in their eyes, seemingly never disappearing.

The corner of the mouth hooked up, as if mocking.

Why is the controlled opponent…

Smiling?

Before the thought has passed.

Zhong Shan has already gotten the answer.

Whoosh!

Darkness envelopes heaven and earth in an instant.

What?

Zhong Shan looks around.

All he sees,

Is a piece of profound and tranquil darkness.

But this is not simply darkness.

In the unseen, it seems that there is something ghostly hidden behind the darkness.

Making his heart feel very oppressed.

Gurgle—

The sound of liquid squirming and bubbling enters his ears.

“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, weakling of the Martial Arts Association.”

“I must say, your patience is truly impressive.”

The voice that echoes through heaven and earth comes from above.

Zhong Shan forces his brain to calm down while following the voice to look forward.

It’s a human-shaped black liquid.

With an indifferent look in its eyes, it is watching him coldly.

That gaze,

He had seen it once before, after entering this mysterious space,

It’s Shinkan Isshin’s gaze.

“You really are not simple.”

Zhong Shan says in a deep voice.

Without any hesitation, he immediately activates the Breathing State.

At the same time,

The golden patterns representing arrogance in the Desire Demon-state light up.

Arrogance – Let the flesh body form its own universe, isolating external influences.

This ability allows the body’s rules to become one with the flesh, unaffected by abilities such as Authority and mind control.

When facing Authority Warriors, this ability can be said to be unbeatable.

Unless the opponent’s strength is too overwhelming, it will have no effect on him.

Therefore,

Zhong Shan activates Arrogance, wanting to escape from this dark space.

However,

Unexpectedly,

After the ability was activated, the surrounding environment did not show any change.

He’s still standing in the same place.
