—------------------—
The rain suddenly began to subside, most likely because Yueguan had found the source of the rain, but most of the Royal Knights and the Holy Emperor Warriors could no longer withstand the paralyzing effect of the poisonous rain. In addition, they had to protect the participating academies that had lost their combat effectiveness, so they could no longer support Xuan Ming.
Sword Douluo was dragged away, Poison Douluo was also blocked, and the Pope could not get over for a while. In a short period of time, Xuan Ming was completely isolated and helpless.
Finally, the shadow hidden in the dark moved!
Without any warning and without disturbing anyone, he rushed behind Xuan Ming in an instant, rushing out from the shadows like a ghost, and the dark dagger symbolizing death suddenly stabbed Xuan Ming's back.
Bang!
The imagined bloody scene did not happen. At the moment when the dark dagger fell behind Xuan Ming, a gray-black energy suddenly surged out of his body, wrapping him tightly and blocking the fatal blow.
"What!" Shadow was shocked.
How is this possible? Even a Titled Douluo wouldn't be able to react to this attack!
Shadow naturally couldn't imagine that Xuan Ming, the evil god's protection, would be triggered passively. Of course, he couldn't have known it.
"You failed again." Xuan Ming turned and looked at the strange figure.
"Indeed, but I will come again. I have my eyes on you!" The shadow smiled coldly, and his body gradually became illusory and disappeared into the night.
"But you won't have a next time." Xuan Ming took a deep breath, and the evil aura surged, merging into the white light. The next moment, the white light exploded, and the suppression effect completely disappeared. However, the range of the domain was rapidly increasing, and in almost the blink of an eye, it covered an area of one kilometer.
The moment the range reaches its limit, the white light disappears.
At the same time, the shadow body that had been lurking on the edge of the battlefield suddenly felt itself locked by a vicious aura.
"Found you!" Xuan Ming's eyes focused, and six soul rings of yellow, purple, and black swirled and rose up, while the second, fourth, fifth, and sixth soul rings flashed at the same time.
The blood spear suddenly shot out, splitting into six blood spear phantoms in the air, and the tip of the blood spear condensed into a gray-black spike.
Including the main body, a total of seven blood-red lightning bolts stabbed fiercely in the direction of the shadow's main body.
Shadow's eyes widened in horror. He tried to hide and escape again, but he found that no matter how he used his concealment soul skills, the vicious aura always followed him like a maggot on his tarsal bone, locking him firmly.
It's over! I've been fooled!
"No!" Shadow roared in despair, trying his best to mobilize all his soul power and condense a black shield in front of him.
However, how could Xuan Ming's attack be easily resisted?
The Blood Spear itself arrived first, and the Evil God Thorn instantly shattered the shield, followed closely by the Blood Spear Phantom.
Boom!!!
A pillar of lightning then fell from the swirling clouds in the sky, illuminating the entire battlefield.
When the lightning faded, the shadow had completely disappeared, leaving only a piece of charred land, emitting a faint burnt smell.
The black-clad thieves who were still resisting were all terrified when they saw this scene, and their morale collapsed instantly.
They originally thought that Shadow could successfully assassinate Xuan Ming, but they didn't expect that Xuan Ming not only blocked the sneak attack, but also completely eliminated Shadow with such thundering power.
Seeing this, the two Titled Douluo who had blocked Chen Xin and Dugu Bo respectively knew that the attack had failed, so they stopped staying and withdrew to leave.
But before they could break free from their opponents, Bibi Dong and Guimei attacked them.
They were delaying action because they were waiting for this most dangerous shadow to make the first move.
Now that the threat of the shadow has disappeared, they naturally don't need to worry about anything anymore.
The two Titled Douluo felt the terrifying aura of Bibi Dong and Gui Mei approaching rapidly, and their hearts sank.
Chen Xin received Ning Fengzhi's message and slightly reduced his strength, giving the gray-robed Titled Douluo a chance to escape, but the purple-robed Titled Douluo was in trouble, as Dugu Bo had no intention of reducing his strength.
On the contrary, he became even more ruthless.
Ever since he broke through to level ninety-four, he has always wanted to test how much his poison skills have changed. Originally, he wanted to try it on Yue Guan, but considering the existence of ghosts, it would most likely turn into a one-on-two situation, and he would definitely be the one in trouble.
Now that there is such a Titled Douluo who can kill him and whose cultivation is lower than his, he naturally cannot let him go easily.
Not to mention that the other party was planning to kill Xuan Ming, so it was even less likely that he would hold back.
Although Dugu Yan has not made any practical progress with Xuan Ming, in everyone's eyes, Xuan Ming has long been his grandson-in-law!
"Dugu Bo! Are you crazy? You want to help the Spirit Hall!?" The purple-robed Titled Douluo said in shock and anger.
Dugu Bo snorted coldly, "What a joke! Who in the world doesn't know what my relationship with him is? You're all going to kill him. Aren't you going to fight me to the death?"
As they were talking, Bibi Dong and Gui Mei had already arrived. They had no intention of chasing after the Grey Robe Titled Douluo who had already escaped. As long as they left one behind, the rest of the matter would be easy.
Faced with the siege of three Titled Douluo, the Purple Robe Titled Douluo's mentality collapsed.
Their original plan was to create a melee and give Shadow an opportunity. After Shadow killed Xuan Ming, his threat would be enough to prevent Chen Xin, Dugu Bo, and even the Pope from making any moves!
But now Shadow is dead!
These guys present have no scruples anymore!
"Surrender and I can give you a dignified death." Bibi Dong said coldly.
The purple-robed Titled Douluo felt extremely regretful. If he had known this would happen, he should not have taken on this difficult task.
But now, it was too late to regret. He could only try his best to fight his way out of this desperate situation.
"You don't know whether to live or die!" Bibi Dong snorted coldly, and the Soul-Eating Spider King's soul power surged. The fifth soul ring on his body flickered, and his arms turned into two emerald sickles. They were raised at the same time, slashing diagonally and crossing each other to produce a huge green fork-shaped light wave.
Eternal Creation!
The purple-robed Titled Douluo was shocked and was about to respond when a sudden white light suddenly descended on the battlefield, causing him to lose consciousness for a moment. At this moment, the Eternal Wound had already fallen on him.
The purple-robed Titled Douluo felt a sharp pain. The green forked light wave was like a sharp blade, instantly cutting through his defensive soul power, leaving two wounds on his body that were deep enough to see the bone. Blood gushed out, staining his clothes red.
Seeing this scene, Ning Fengzhi and the others were all stunned, but Dugu Bo and the others who knew the inside story turned their eyes to Xuan Ming who had walked over at some point.
They had all experienced the instantaneous suppression of Xuan Ming's domain in the past, but that was when they were caught off guard. Now the opponent was in a tense state, and his soul power had reached its peak. How could Xuan Ming's domain still make this guy lose consciousness for a moment?
Moreover, the timing of the arrival of this domain suppression was actually coordinated with Bibi Dong to this extent?
This has definitely been practiced!
At this time, Yue Guan, who had gone to solve the source of the poisonous rain, finally rushed back. Looking at the purple-robed Titled Douluo who was seriously injured and lying on the ground and controlled by ghosts, Yue Guan was a little confused.
"Is this the end?"
Xuan Ming turned to look at Yue Guan, "You also encountered a Titled Douluo?"
"No, there is only one Soul Douluo and two supporting Soul Emperors over there." Yue Guan said.
"No, you have a Titled Douluo here?"
Xuan Ming glanced at the purple-robed Titled Douluo and said, "I caught one, and one ran away."
Yue Guan's eyes twitched slightly.
Two Titled Douluo? Are the seven major families crazy?
Even if Xuan Ming's trouble would cause them some losses and lose face, but such a big fuss has offended even the Pope, which is more than just a matter of face!
…
After the poisonous rain completely stopped, the Holy Emperor Warriors quickly recovered their combat effectiveness. Under the command of several cardinals, they captured and hunted the remaining thieves. Those who were not important were directly executed, and in the end only a few Soul Emperors were captured alive.
Under Xue Qinghe's command, the Royal Knights also began to clean up the battlefield, carefully carrying the soldiers and contestants who were injured in the battle to the side, and arranging for the healing soul masters in the team to provide emergency treatment.
Before I knew it, it was daybreak.
The sunlight penetrated the thick clouds and sprinkled on the devastated battlefield, bringing a touch of warmth to this bloody land, but also highlighting the cruelty of last night's battle.
"You haven't spoken yet?"
Xuan Ming, Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, and Xue Qinghe walked into the tent and looked at the purple-robed Titled Douluo who had been tortured by ghosts all night.
"No, this guy is really stubborn." said the ghost.
"But if you give me a little more time, he'll speak."
"Come on, if you wanted to say him, you would have said it long ago." Xuan Ming walked forward, holding the blood spear in his hand.
"Obviously, this is a tough guy."
Bibi Dong was stunned, "You want to kill him?"
"It's impossible for the seven major families to mobilize such a large force just to kill me. It's not worth it." Xuan Ming said.
"Besides, this is a Titled Douluo. How much profit can drive a Titled Douluo to do such a thing?"
"Of course, it's also possible that these two people are out of their minds."
Xuan Ming slowly thrust the blood spear into the chest of the purple-robed Titled Douluo.
After being hit by the Eternal Wound and tortured by ghosts for a whole night, this guy's soul power and physical strength had long been exhausted, and he was completely unable to resist at this moment.
"You're still so stubborn at this point, or you have concerns. You know, the consequences of speaking out are far more dire than not speaking."
Xuan Ming's movements did not stop at all, and the blood spear penetrated deeper and deeper. The body of the purple-robed Titled Douluo twitched slightly due to the severe pain, but his eyes were still stubborn, and he clenched his teeth tightly, refusing to utter a word.
"Or maybe you think that if you keep silent, you still have a chance of survival. You think that as a Titled Douluo, we won't kill you so easily. At worst, we will take you back to Wuhun City and slowly interrogate you, right?"
As he spoke, Xuan Ming's soul power surged slightly, and a strange wave suddenly emanated from the blood spear. The wave passed along the blood spear into the body of the purple-robed Titled Douluo and began to madly erode his vitality.
The purple-robed Titled Douluo felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart, quickly spreading throughout his body. His body began to tremble uncontrollably, and his face became paler and paler.
