Chapter 49: Mysterious Ring, First Encounter

  "What a bunch of trash, the same level spiritual beasts in the Blood Prison are much stronger than these people. No wonder those who walk out from here can be called legendary, it turns out there's a reason for that." Leishi said thoughtfully, his curiosity about this mysterious region growing more and more. In his opinion, the Blood Prison shouldn't just be a forest!

  "Boom!"

  At this moment, Zhuo Yifan felt a loud noise in his mind, and the ring hanging on his chest also trembled immediately.

  Suddenly, Zhuo Yifan's gaze fell on a young man in his early twenties walking from afar. As he walked, an intangible and obscure fluctuation emanated from him, clearly having cultivated the Soul Meditation technique, able to perform some simple soul techniques.

  "He is Zhou Qing's older brother, named Zhou Hong. I heard his mental strength has reached 0.9, he's really formidable!"

  "Hey, Tuni can even repel the Purple Emperor, what's there to be afraid of? Tuni! Go for it! We'll support you spiritually!" Leshi's thick-skinned Blue Double Child was thoroughly convinced, and utterly defeated by him.

  However, seeing Leishi taking the lead for himself, Blue Twin increased his good impression of Leishi somewhat. He helplessly said: "Grandfather didn't teach me soul techniques, only taught me some basic control methods. Without a weapon, I can't beat him. Black Fatty, aren't you very capable? Hurry up and slap him unconscious with one palm!" Blue Twin also felt a bit tense when he saw Zhou Hong.

  "Stop joking! The opponent is very strong!"

  The fluctuations brought by the ring kept sending out warnings, and Zhuo Yifan's expression became solemn, feeling that things seemed a bit unusual. If it was just treating himself as a love rival, would it be worth making such a big fuss? He had some doubts in his heart, perhaps this was a kind of probe!

  Buzz! Buzz! The ring was trembling non-stop, and as Zhou Hong approached, this tremble became even more intense. Zhuo Yifan had never felt such an extraordinary oppressive force before! This also represented that Zhou Hong would be a extremely dangerous person!

  Although Zhuo Yifan didn't know what concept "Meditation 0.9" was, since the ring had issued a warning, he couldn't help but take it seriously!

  "You two, why are you hitting members of the Zhou family?" Zhou Hong stepped forward, her face as calm as an ancient well, with a faint orange spiritual energy emanating from her nostrils.

  Suddenly, Zhuo Yifan and Leishi felt a dazed feeling, as if some kind of energy was slowly seeping into their brains...

  Meditation power!

  Even the most foolish person should have understood by now that Zhuo Yifan and Leishi both deeply felt the horror of meditation power! This is a kind of true intangible attack, harm piercing through the flesh, directly reaching the soul, unable to defend against.

  "Speak! Where does the divine power on your bodies come from?" Zhou Hong's faint words were infinitely amplified in the depths of Zhuo Yifan and Le Shi's souls, the vast volume making both of them deafened, subconsciously covering their ears, but still unable to let this power that penetrated deep into their souls, be heard.

  This made Zhuo Yifan and Leishi change their faces, being able to freely control the power of meditation, and the masters who could use soul techniques were indeed very powerful! Zhou Hong's own strength was not strong, but because he had learned meditation, he was more powerful than ordinary masters. If it were an ordinary person, they would be even less able to contend with him.

  Soul Searching Technique!

  Lan Shuang'er hadn't studied soul techniques before, but she still had some conceptual understanding of basic soul techniques. At a glance, she recognized that this was a one-star basic soul technique - Soul Search Technique!

  "Zhou Hong, what are you doing! Are you crazy? The Soul Searching Technique will turn them into idiots! They're Grandfather's guests, and you treat them like this, aren't you afraid of Grandfather scolding you?" Blue Twin Lotus shouted with a red face.

  "Wouldn't it be better to become an idiot? What can the Zhou family do, a small blue dye can still be controlled?" Zhou Hong sneered, his face gloomy, looking at Zhuo Yifan and Le Shi with a gaze like he was looking at dead people. He stood with his hands behind his back, closing his eyes while unintentionally increasing his mental strength.

  0.9's mental power is strong enough to make one's soul sink!

  "You..." Blue Twin saw Zhou Hong's arrogant appearance and was also stunned. In her impression, Zhou Hong's courage would never be so bold as to openly oppose Grandfather, the only explanation is that there must be a powerful backer supporting him! Speaking of backers, Blue Twin couldn't help but think of the genius of the Zhou family, Zhou Wubing...

  Only this person has the audacity to shout loudly.

  At this moment, the eerie meditation power has infiltrated, making Zhuo Yifan and Le Shi both shocked, feeling that there is a evil force swirling in their bodies, and desperately trying to invade their memories.

  This kind of power made Leishi and Zhuoyifan unable to control themselves instantly, they were furious and kicked Zhou Hong, helplessly and painfully resisting the pain of their souls being stripped.

  Due to the oppressive power of the soul, Zhuo Yifan didn't even have a chance to display his magic pupil!

  "Hah!"

  Suddenly, the pendant hanging from his neck vibrated slightly, and a refreshing energy was transmitted from inside, but this energy was limited to Zhuo Yifan alone, making him instantly wake up from the verge of getting lost in his meditation!

  The next moment, he was surprised to find that the various illusions that appeared in his mind completely disappeared. Zhou Hong's meditation power and the ring's emitted energy cancelled each other out!

  "The ring Father left me does have a secret!"

  Zhuo Yifan's expression changed suddenly, and he opened his eyes to see Fengying stepping towards him with a ghostly movement. By the time Zhou Hong reacted, Zhuo Yifan had vanished from his original position, only to reappear in front of him with a pair of terrifying pupils emitting an eerie purple glow!

  "Ah!" Zhou Hong suddenly cried out in surprise.

  The contemplative power lingering in Leishi's body also dissipated quickly, he shook his head, looking at Lanyu'er with some confusion, "Lanyu'er, what happened..."

  Lan Shuang'er didn't say a word, nor did she understand what was going on. Her beautiful eyes, which were usually bright and clear, showed a bewildered expression. She was astonished that Zhuo Yifan, who hadn't even learned how to meditate, could actually break free from Zhou Hong's restraints.

  Seeing Zhou Hong stunned, Le Shi suddenly burst into flames, "I'm going to sue you! How dare you use this evil technique on me, Le Shi the great! I'll slap your mouth with my immortal board!"

  Lei Shi was enraged and ran over instantly. At this moment, Zhou Hong was shocked by the terrifying gaze and his whole body was stiffened with fear, even his eyelids couldn't blink. He could only stare in shock as a big slap came flying over!

  Bang! Bang! Bang!......

  Lei Shi swung his hand with all his might, each blow landing squarely on Zhou Hong's face, the slapping sounds echoing non-stop like firecrackers.

  "What the...! You've made me suffer so much, and now you want to turn us into idiots? Damn it, are you tired of living?" Leishi was furious, and with a swift motion, he pulled down the scabbard from his chest and unleashed a powerful blast of spiritual energy.

  "With a whoosh, the orange spiritual energy suddenly surged out, and this small decorative item actually transformed into a two-meter-long sword dancing with red lightning!"

  "The" Zanpakuto was thrust into the ground, and at the same time, a terrifying lightning pillar burst out of the surrounding earth as the power of the thunder raged!

  A loud clap of thunder boomed, and the villagers around thought it was a dry thunderstorm, and they all walked out of their houses to check the situation, only to be left staring in shock at this scene!

  "Whose pig is on the ground?"

  "What pig? Open your eyes and take a good look, that's Zhou Hong from the Zhou family!"

  "Ah! It's really Zhou Hong. Although he was beaten like a pig, judging from the air between his eyebrows, it's indeed him! How did he get beaten up like this?"

  "It was done by a messenger of the Blood God, he must have offended the Blood God!"

  ……

  The people around stared at this scene with their eyes wide open, discussing and talking about it, but in their hearts they were very relieved. The Zhou family has a great influence in the village of Shura, even surpassing that of the Lan family, and the Zhou family's actions have always been arrogant and domineering. Now that they have been taught a lesson, everyone in their heart is feeling a sense of satisfaction!

  "Hmph! You think you can turn me into a fool? I'll smash you into pulp!"

  Leshi flipped the Zhanxu knife over, its massive black body resembling a huge iron plate, just about to slap it down when suddenly, from afar, a 16 or 17-year-old youth walked over, wearing a luxurious sable fur coat, his face as gloomy as dead water, walking towards this place.

  As he approached, what followed was an even more terrifying spiritual pressure than Zhou Hong's!
