The improved female villains regained their memories.

These sword rains, though seemingly sharp and powerful, have no physical form. Even when you try to block them, you feel no physical contact; instead, you only feel a series of turbulent waves in your heart.

Yang Pingsheng had already undergone the Sword Soul Heart Test and was immune to it. However, he did not expect that even though he had passed the Sword Soul Heart Test, the Sword Soul Heart was now in turmoil and was coming again.

This means that what was supposedly a successful pass was not actually a successful pass; it was simply that the person who set up the formation stopped channeling the energy of the Sword Soul Heart to him.

"I can't use my spiritual energy anymore, and my physical condition is also declining."

"This rain of swords not only disturbs people's minds and souls, but also prevents us from using our spiritual energy, turning us back into mortals."

He looked up and saw the shimmering light on the high mountaintop, where dark clouds loomed overhead and that was the only source of light.

"The only way now is to seize the sword's soul and make it recognize its master."

Having made up his mind, Yang Pingsheng hurried towards the foot of the mountain.

Just then, he suddenly heard a strange sound, turned his head and saw a crazed rhinoceros charging towards him.

The rhinoceros exuded demonic energy, clearly a demonic beast, but its eyes were glazed over, and it was wandering around aimlessly, probably because its mind had been bewitched by the sword spirit, leaving it in a daze.

The rhinoceros charged too fast, catching Yang Pingsheng off guard. Before he could dodge, the rhinoceros was already in front of him.

Bang! The next moment, he was knocked flying.

However, after a mid-air somersault, he landed steadily and realized that he was still covered in armor. Although the spiritual energy had disappeared, the immortal artifact still existed.

"Is the immortal artifact still there due to its own power?"

The Sword Soul Heart truly lives up to its reputation as one of the Four Great Treasures; it is indeed a valuable item. The assessment alone enabled Yang Pingsheng to awaken his own immortal artifact.

However, he awakened in a hurry and had not fully developed his abilities. Only when things went wrong did he realize that his immortal artifact could be activated without spiritual energy.

"Although it can still be used, it seems that many abilities have been lost. At least the ability to manipulate the land is no longer usable."

The rhinoceros roared and charged again, but Yang Pingsheng punched it, sending it flying.

After the crisis was resolved, Yang Pingsheng began testing the armor's capabilities.

Light as a swallow, strong as an ox, fast as a galloping horse, and still as a tortoise breathing.

His defenses were also excellent; he leaped down from the tree unscathed.

In addition, his five senses were enhanced, and he could see everything in great detail, whether it was static or dynamic.

The most frightening thing is that his thinking ability has also been enhanced. Many problems that he couldn't understand before can now be figured out easily, and his logical ability has also been greatly improved.

If there were no immortals, Yang Pingsheng would be a perfect mortal now, with all aspects of his physical abilities reaching the pinnacle of mortals.

boom!

Yang Pingsheng punched through a large tree, nodded in satisfaction, and then quickly ran towards the foot of the mountain.

"To obtain the Sword Soul Heart, you must climb to the highest peak."

"The immortal artifact can protect me from harm, but it cannot protect me from the sword spirit's attack. I am not confused yet because I have experience from testing it before. I am afraid that the higher I climb, the stronger the sword spirit's power will become."

"We need a swift and decisive victory!"

Yang Pingsheng had a clear mind and quickly determined his goal.

Their footsteps became more forceful, stirring up dust.

The rain of swords fell relentlessly, their golden light illuminating the darkness that had been obscured by the dark clouds.

"Roar!"

A tiger demon stood in front of Yang Pingsheng, its blood-red mouth wide open, roaring at him.

Without blinking, Yang Pingsheng killed the tiger demon with a few punches.

Having figured out the key to the problem, he moved quickly, his mind solely focused on the Sword Soul Heart.

Soon, he bumped into Dionysus, who was also running down the mountain. The two collided and were both stunned.

Who are you?

"who are you?"

Yang Pingsheng was wearing armor and a mask, and his whole aura was ferocious. Although the Wine Immortal had become a mortal and was very slovenly, he was still extraordinary and his eyes were bright. The sword rain that the Sword Soul Heart had unleashed could not shake him in the slightest.

When the two met, they both saw that the sword rain was ineffective against each other, and they couldn't help but become a little wary.

Dionysus may appear to be in good spirits, but in reality he is in a terrible state and extremely disheveled.

After the Sword Soul Heart went berserk, Qing Tian was the first to go mad, shouting "Qi Hao! Qi Hao!" while causing destruction everywhere. The God of Wine was unable to use his spiritual energy and could only dodge quickly and escape the battlefield.

Without spiritual energy, his injuries could not heal, including some internal injuries sustained during the fight. Fortunately, he had a strong will, and the Sword Soul Heart could not have any effect on him in the short term.

He knew that the key to the problem was the Sword Soul Heart. To solve the current predicament, he had to deal with the Sword Soul Heart first. Moreover, his companions were all missing and were most likely on the mountain. That's why he rushed down the mountain. Unexpectedly, he ran into a mysterious person wearing armor there.

"Who is this person? I know all the experts in the capital, and Ling Tiandu also told me about the abilities of those four female villains. None of them are like him. However, there are countless heroes and great men in the world. This person may be a recluse."

Dionysus dared not make any rash moves, staring intently at Yang Pingsheng, watching his every move.

Admittedly, the God of Wine is a true immortal, but at this moment, his sword soul has completely gone berserk, and the secret realm has also descended. No matter how strong he is, he cannot be stronger than heaven and earth, and he can no longer use his full strength.

Even so, he was still a true immortal, and his modified physical attributes were not to be underestimated. Moreover, the traces of the Great Dao could still play a role.

Although the opponent is wearing armor, I might not necessarily suffer a loss if a fight breaks out.

"Does Your Excellency also wish to vie for the Sword Soul Heart?" Yang Pingsheng spoke first.

The God of Wine narrowed his eyes slightly and replied, "The Sword Soul Heart is one of the four great treasures of heaven and earth. Who wouldn't want it?"

"In that case, let's each rely on our own abilities." After saying that, Yang Pingsheng stopped replying, pushed off with his feet again, and started running quickly.

"Huh!?"

The God of Wine quickly followed, astonished by Yang Pingsheng's speed: "Spiritual energy can no longer be used here, yet this person can still unleash such speed, even ignoring the interference of the Sword Soul Heart. Could he also be a True Immortal?"

His expression grew increasingly serious. Tianren Mountain was becoming more and more strange. If this person was truly an immortal, it meant that there were still experts in the world that their Guardian Heaven Sect did not know about.

Is it on the villain's side, or...?

He didn't have time to think much. Seeing Yang Pingsheng getting faster and faster, he also sped up and caught up.

Yang Pingsheng turned his head slightly, watching the God of Wine approach, and quickly said, "What is the meaning of this, sir?"

Dionysus smiled slightly: "Didn't you say it yourself, each according to their own ability?"

The next second, his speed exploded again, and he actually surpassed Yang Pingsheng.

The two hurried to the foot of Tianren Mountain. At this time, due to the collapse of large boulders, the mountain was full of pushed-over rocks. The temple had collapsed, revealing the only mountain path.

Just as Yang Pingsheng was about to go up, he suddenly heard a sound coming from the pile of stones next to him.

"Brother, elder brother..."

In the middle of the pile of stones, there was a bloodied and gleaming arm. Wen Shihan struggled to climb out, his eyes flashing with a blade-like light, clearly indicating that his mind had been affected.

"Where are you……"

[It's warm but actually cold!]

Yang Pingsheng, disregarding his struggle with the God of Wine for the mountain path, turned and ran towards Wen Shihan.

The God of Wine was wondering why the other person had stopped running when he turned around and saw him running towards the injured woman, a woman the God of Wine had seen at the Heavenly Guardian Sect meeting.

Wen Shihan, nicknamed the ruthless climber, is a female villain!

Dionysus watched as the armored figure ran over and rescued the man from the pile of stones, and instantly understood.

"I see, so you're in cahoots with the villains."

The next moment, a fierce glint appeared in his eyes, and he no longer cared about the Sword Soul Heart.

"Since that's the case, then you may all die here!"

Having said that, he lunged at Yang Pingsheng and Wen Shihan.

Chapter 293 Punching the Protagonist

Yang Pingsheng laboriously pulled Wen Shihan out to check her condition.

"Xiao Han, do you still recognize me?"

Wen Shihan muttered without responding, his eyes flashing with an even stronger, sword-like light.

"Sword Soul Heart Assessment..." Yang Pingsheng observed carefully and naturally realized that Wen Shihan had fallen into the same situation as himself before.

The Sword Soul Heart test examines one's will, and its main purpose is to help the test taker find their own path. During this period, one's perception of the outside world is practically nonexistent. Even when Yang Pingsheng could use spiritual energy, he almost met a tragic end, let alone Wen Shihan, who can't even use spiritual energy now.

He can't leave her here.

"It's alright, Xiaohan. I'll take you home after everything is over."

However, just as he picked up Wen Shihan, a gust of wind suddenly rushed towards him, and the God of Wine attacked with thousands of strong winds.

Yang Pingsheng was startled. He had both hands occupied with Wen Shihan's blows and had no power to defend himself. He could only take the blow to the chest before turning around and running away.

The immortal armor undoubtedly increased his defense. Even after taking the God of Wine's attack, Yang Pingsheng only groaned and was not seriously injured.

Instead, he used this opportunity to distance himself from Dionysus and ran towards the path to heaven.

Swords rained down, and the God of Wine, with his keen eyesight, could tell that Wen Shihan was not in good condition and was determined not to let this opportunity slip by.

When his first move failed, he immediately shouted, "Fellow immortal, are you protecting this wicked woman? Are you in cahoots with her?"

Yang Pingsheng did not answer.

The God of Wine shouted again: "I am a protector of the Heavenly Guardian Sect. If you hand over the wicked woman to me, you will gain the friendship of the Heavenly Guardian Sect."

Yang Pingsheng remained silent, continuing to run up the stairs in silence.

The murderous aura in Dionysus's eyes intensified. He had initially held onto a sliver of hope that this mysterious person might not be in cahoots with Wen Shihan, but now it seemed that his initial judgment was correct.

"This wicked woman has killed countless people. If you insist on saving her, then let's die together!"

He spoke fiercely, quickening his pace.

And so began a tug-of-war between the two, with one carrying the other on his back as they ran ahead, while the other chased after him.

The God of Wine grew increasingly frustrated as he chased after him: [This person is too strange. It's one thing to withstand the attacks of the Sword Soul Heart, but how can he have such incredible stamina? He can't use his spiritual energy right now, relying solely on his physical abilities. He's carrying one on his back, wearing such heavy armor, yet he can still run so fast!?]

He grew increasingly suspicious, but his speed increased, and he was now able to reach Wen Shihan, who was unconscious on the other's back.

You should just die first!
