C359 Sacrificial call to souls(3)

Helian Yu's skill was not weak at all. Even though he had struck out with a palm strike, it still carried a shocking power and pushed back a few inches the thousand pound bronze cauldron in the corner of the room. A hurricane raged inside the room, shrouding everything in the wind of his palm.

The opponent somersaulted backward a few times, barely dodging the attack. Then, he waved his hand, causing a few rays of cold light to flash across the air.

At last he recognized that it was an extremely small concealed weapon, and he asked in astonishment, "Who are you?"

Before the ritual, he had confirmed that Helian Divine Art's doors and windows were tightly shut. Not only were the walls made of bronze or steel, they were also made of stone. The door was a special lock, and outside the window was a three story high floor.

The other party didn't reply to his question. Instead, it was the palm wind that was hit by him. With a light snort, it sounded delicate and clear, as though it was another woman.

Without waiting for Helian Yu to launch another palm attack, the other side sent several silver stars flying over. As Helian Yu extended his palm and caught the weapon, a black concealed weapon flew over.

Helian Yu did not continue and rolled to the side to avoid the attack. The small ball hit the outside of the pill house. With a loud bang, it shook the earth and even caused a stone wall a foot thick to collapse.

Helian Yu's legs became unsteady from the impact. Even though his strength had dropped to a thousand jin, he still almost fell to the ground. He could not help but be dumbstruck. "Gu Qingli" on the altar was even more miserable. She was shaken by the earthquake like explosion until her entire body rolled down from the altar all the way to the edge of the wall collapsing. She almost rolled down from the hole in the ground.

It wasn't that he hadn't seen Thunderbolt Blaze before, but he had never heard of something that was powerful to such an extent.

"Help!"

The pill room had already begun to collapse. Although it hadn't completely collapsed, a large hole had been blasted between the third and second floor. The floor was tilted and "Gu Qingli" was about to sink into the hole.

Helian Yu leaped forward and grabbed her belt as she shouted, "Royal Consort, grab my hand!"

"Gu Qing Li" grabbed his arm and cried, "Don't let me go!"

Helian Yu forcefully pulled her up and leaped to a relatively flat and safe place. He saw that Helian Divine Technique was still lying on the ground unconscious, while the black-clothed man who attacked him slowly walked out from the darkness. His body was exposed under the moonlight, and his eyes were filled with suspicion and vigilance.

Although the light on her face was dim, she was clearly a woman dressed in skintight clothes with curves in them.

Helian Yu thought that she was going to attack again and put up a defensive posture. In his heart, he thought that if she were to use that terrifying hidden weapon again, it would be very difficult to resist, other than escaping.

As her face gradually appeared under the moonlight, Helian Yu was stunned.

The woman in front of him didn't look to be more than twenty years old, but she wasn't at the age of sixteen or seventeen either. Although she wasn't very old, her eyes were shockingly mature.

Her long hair was wrapped with wavy patterns, falling onto her shoulders, and her appearance seemed to be casually but meticulously modified. Other than her flawless beauty, what was more eye-catching was her arrogant expression, which gave her a unique temperament that could make millions of people stand in awe of her, a mixture of coldness, killing intent, charm and mysteriousness.

She was dressed in an unspeakable black suit, the low neckline showing a patch of snow-white skin, a dark bodice with a belt of metal buckles and shining stones around her waist, trousers of the same texture, also tight on her legs, and strange riding boots with rows of metal rivets all the way down to her knees.

If one had to say what her clothing looked like, it might be similar to a hunting outfit, but it was bolder and more compact. It outlined the curves of her entire body to the point that it made one's blood boil.

All of these oddities did not shock Helian Yu. What really attracted his attention was that face, which he had once seen in the illusion of Helian Divine Technique.

Gu Qingli had personally admitted that the woman on the boat was wearing a blue dress that revealed her shoulders. That was her 'previous life'.

"You are …" Helian Yu felt that he had stuttered and was unable to ask the answer he wanted more precisely. He could only wait for the other party to clear his doubts.

The other party looked at 'Gu Qing Li' beside him, then lowered his head and looked at himself. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Do you have a mirror?"

Even the sound was exactly the same as in the illusion. Could this person before him be the 'Gu Qingli' that Helian Yu knew? Then who was that girl beside him that was as solitary as a white rabbit?

Helian Yu searched in all directions, but didn't find anything that could reflect the image of a person. However, he heard frightened and disorderly sounds coming from outside, some running back and forth, some shouting, and some people trying to break in, continuously pushing the shattered tiles and stones at the mouth of the explosion.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Are you okay? "

"I'm fine. Don't come in yet." Helian Yu composed himself and first stopped them from digging their way in.

Then he fumbled for the fire and found a palace lamp to light the room. The light made the woman look even more beautiful, as if she were wearing a finely polished lambskin dress, but he still could not believe that the lambskin could be polished to the point of shining so brightly, and that it could be made into a soft, close-fitting leather garment.

The young woman hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head to examine herself. She then reached out to touch her own body, as if confirming something. She was completely unaware of this seemingly ordinary action of hers. This caused Helian Yu to nearly spit out a mouthful of blood.

After all, in this era, these leather outfits that were nothing out of the ordinary were way too bold and exposed.

"Am I... Alive? "

Helian Yu really wanted to ask her this question, but there was clearly a living person in front of her. Could it be that by mistake, Helian Divine Art summoned out two souls from the soul orb? Then who was the soul in the body in front of him? Was it really Gu Qing Li's true body inside Helian Shuang's body?

This question was too complicated for Helian Yu to understand. It was clear that the woman herself didn't know either. She glanced at the 'Gu Qing Li' beside him and asked, "You're Gu Qing Li?"

"Gu Qing Li" still had a blank expression on her face, her shy face gradually revealed a confused expression. After a long while, she finally answered, "Where is this place? My clothes... How strange, isn't this in the Eastern Abyss? "

The only thing she could discern was that her style of clothing did not belong to Dongyuan.

Helian Yu nodded his head, then looked at the two of them and asked, "Which one of you is the real Gu Qing Li?"

"Me!" Both of them answered at the same time.

Helian Yu slightly narrowed his eyes. His sharp, cold gaze scanned the surroundings as he judged the expression on the two's faces.
