Qian Daoliu's words were like a knife stabbing into Bibi Dong's heart. What did he mean by that? Was he planning to ignore everything?
But Tang Chen wasn't stupid; how could he be directly fooled by Qian Daoliu's ridiculous words?
"Heh heh, Qian Xunji is your son, and your son hunted down my grandson. What more is there to say? Qian Daoliu, for old times' sake, your Spirit Hall will give my Clear Sky Sect a few Spirit Bones as compensation, and the Supreme Pontiff will personally come to welcome my Clear Sky Sect back into the world. What happened before will be forgotten. As for now, get lost!" Tang Chen responded with great dominance.
Before, even without divine force, he was already able to advance to the ninety-ninth level super Douluo by his own strength, and was on par with Qian Daoliu and Poseidon.
However, Qian Daoliu and Poseidon's strength had some impurities; they both underwent the Angel's Eight Trials and the Red-level Eight Trials, which allowed them to reach super Douluo at a similar age as him.
He had no doubt about their talent, but when it came to talent, if he dared to claim second, no one would dare to claim first!
Not even someone as strong as Poseidon.
And now, with the blessing of Asura God's divine force and asura blood sword, he was certain that Qian Daoliu would not be his opponent, unless he could bring out the Angelic Sacred Sword from the Angel Saint Hall, but he did not have that qualification!
Xiao Tian looked at the current Tang Chen and frowned slightly. Tang Chen's moral compass was actually quite upright, and his talent was exceptional. He helped his relatives, not necessarily what was right. It was a pity that the two of them would eventually become adversaries because of Tang San and Tang Hao.
With his intelligence and experience, he knew without thinking how he, a sword cultivator, could have bewitched Ah Yin. It was only after they formed the Spirit Soul Contract that a certain connection formed between them through the contract.
Ah Yin could discern whether he was lying, which was why she believed him. Moreover, with such evidence laid out before him, he had no choice but to believe it.
With the fragile physique of infant Tang San back then, even a slight ripple of spirit power could have killed him.
At that time, both of them were too preoccupied to care for themselves. After Ah Yin's sacrifice, Tang Hao even used Ring Explosion to unleash his full strength and forcefully withstand the attacks of three Titled Douluo. At that moment, Tang Hao definitely had no time or energy to protect the infant; wouldn't that have meant death?
Qian Daoliu looked at Tang Chen, a grave expression appearing on his face. Without turning around, he transmitted a message to Xiao Tian: "Later, I will find an opportunity to use a trace of divine force to protect you and Xiao Wu tens of thousands of miles away. This is my repayment for you protecting Qian Renxue! The rest is up to you."
Xiao Tian, however, responded: "High Priest, there's no need for that. I have a way to leave on my own. If possible, use your strongest current attack to injure Tang Chen and divert his attention. Leave the rest to me."
Xiao Tian's confident words made Qian Daoliu slightly stunned. But at this point, he might as well follow Xiao Tian's suggestion.
This wasn't because he trusted Xiao Tian, but because Xiao Tian was an adult and had to be responsible for his own words.
Xiao Tian was also preparing to try his trump card. He found that even if the system didn't issue this quest, he still had to do it. Otherwise, even if he left later, Tang Chen, for the sake of Tang San and Tang Hao, would definitely come to find him. Facing Tang Chen, who possessed the asura blood sword, he might not necessarily be an opponent.
This was not just because of the asura blood sword, but also because of Ring Explosion!
The power generated by Ring Explosion could not only integrate into the Spirit and oneself but also into the asura blood sword. With Tang Chen's ability, he could definitely do it!
The power that would erupt then was unimaginable.
Tang Chen's first spirit ring was already a black ten-thousand-year ring!
"Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say!"
Qian Daoliu calmly said as he unfolded his Angelic Domain, and Tang Chen, seeing this, also shook his head slightly: "I've already given you face, but unfortunately…"
"Slaughter Domain, activate!"
A red Domain unfolded from Tang Chen, enveloping the entire Pope Mountain.
In an instant, Qian Daoliu directly exited his Martial Soul True Body state, which caused Qian Daoliu's expression to change slightly: "This is... Magic Ban!"
Tang Chen chuckled: "That's right, this is the Slaughter Domain I obtained in Slaughter City, evolved from the Slaughter God Domain. Spirit Masters within the Slaughter Domain can only use Spirit Abilities if they possess the Slaughter God Domain, but they will still be suppressed by the Slaughter Domain.
Now, Qian Daoliu, without your Martial Soul True Body, merely relying on your Angelic Domain and Angel God's divine force, you are no longer my opponent!"
Xiao Tian: 6. He had also forgotten that Tang Chen possessed such a domineering Domain. The main reason was that Tang Chen's appearance time was too short, and he didn't remember everything...
Qian Daoliu hadn't expected that after decades apart, Tang Chen would possess such terrifying strength, which could already threaten the rule of Spirit Hall!
For Qian Renxue to peacefully undergo her God Position trials in the future, he had to make Tang Chen suffer a setback here today!
"Six High Priests, concentrate your spirit power and inject it All into the High Priest's body!" Xiao Tian said, looking at Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong with a serious expression: "Uncle Ning, Rongrong, I need the two of you to use the power of spirit ring fusion to help regulate them."
With Qian Daoliu's demigod strength and Angel God's divine force, accepting the spirit power output from the Six High Priests was not a problem. It would not only compensate for the insufficient damage caused by being unable to use Spirit Abilities but also make him even stronger!
And Xiao Tian was also gambling that Tang Chen, to protect Tang San and the now unconscious Tang Hao, would not use Ring Explosion to unleash his full power.
He had figured out that precisely because he had these two people to protect, he was so patient.
And Xiao Tian's forehead touched Ning Rongrong's, and Ning Rongrong only felt a surge of power throughout her body. Was this... mental force transmission?!
Xiao Tian was temporarily transmitting part of his mental force to her, giving her the ability to fuse spirit power.
As for Ning Fengzhi, he simply couldn't advance his spirit power. After All these years, even if his mental force grew slowly, he should still have the mental force of a low-level Titled Douluo, right?
Even if not, he should at least have the mental force of a Spirit Douluo, right?
If he still didn't, then he was useless!
Ning Rongrong knew that with Xiao Tian's spirit ring fusion talent and his strength, he didn't need to do it himself. As long as he cooperated with her father, it should be successful.
But now he was entrusting this task to her, which meant he had something more important to prepare!
Qian Renxue understood what was happening upon hearing this and immediately said to Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others: "Quickly do as Xiao Tian says!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others didn't hesitate. Their nine spirit rings detached from their bodies and converged with Qian Daoliu's spirit rings in the air. A massive spirit power fluctuation caused some weaker Spirit Masters present to be pressed to the ground, struggling to breathe.
The Slaughter Domain could prohibit the use of Spirit Abilities, but it didn't forbid spirit ring fusion!
After All these years, Qian Daoliu couldn't possibly not have a single self-created Spirit Ability, could he?
Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong focused intently, their spirit ring fusion converging, trying their best to fuse the spirit power of the seven individuals.
This was still somewhat difficult for them, as neither of them was a Titled Douluo; otherwise, one person would have been enough.
The 1+1 here was less than 1!
But in the end, Xiao Tian gambled correctly. Despite the difficulty, the two succeeded, and a tremendous surge of spirit power poured into Qian Daoliu's body.
Huo Wu, not far away, watched the spirit ring fusion performed by the two of them and couldn't help but feel envious.
It was the same spirit ring fusion talent, but the gap was so obvious.
Qian Daoliu knew that he only had one attack. This immense spirit power forcibly activated his Angel True Body state (though without corresponding amplification effects). He swung the long sword in his hand with extreme speed, striking towards the unconscious Tang Hao!
He knew this was Tang Chen's current weakness!
"Bastard! Qian Daoliu, how dare you!" Tang Chen erupted with a fierce killing intent, holding the asura blood sword. The energy generated by the shattering of his first five spirit rings poured into the asura blood sword, unleashing Clear Sky profoundness!
The Clear Sky Secret Art he created could also be applied to the asura blood sword!
Below, Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengzhi struggled to maintain control, sweat constantly beading on their faces. They looked at the others around them with worry, and the thought that they were too weak and couldn't help at All arose in their minds.
"Just hold on a little longer, it'll be ready soon."
Xiao Tian said calmly, a wine pot appearing in his hand. Inside was the Purple Cloud Nectar given by the system earlier. He hadn't touched a single drop; there were only nine sips, and not a single bit could be wasted.
"Da Ming, Er Ming!"
As Xiao Tian's words fell, the two knew what to do. Instantly, Xiao Tian's strength once again reached the realm of Titled Douluo.
Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Xiao Tian took a sip of wine, his face instantly turning red.
His eyes fixed on the two clashing figures. As the wine took effect, he couldn't help but recite the classic lines of the Wine Sword Immortal: "Riding the sword on the wind, slaying demons between heaven and earth. With wine, I am carefree; without wine, I am still mad. One sip drains rivers, another swallows the sun and moon. A thousand cups cannot make me drunk, only I, the Wine Sword Immortal."
As his words fell, Xiao Tian's aura suddenly surged, reaching an intensity equal to, or even slightly surpassing, that of Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen!
Xiao Tian only felt his spirit power (true qi) constantly pounding his meridians.
The Wine God Incantation was different from the All Word Secret. After casting it, it only had the power of one move, increasing one's strength by nine times.
Just then, Tang Chen in the sky suddenly felt the aura from below and subconsciously looked down, while Qian Daoliu increased his force.
Boom—
The hand with which Tang Chen held the asura blood sword was directly shaken open.
Good opportunity!
Xiao Tian below was waiting for this very moment!
He saw it clearly: Tang Chen's right hand had a momentary stiffness, very brief, but he seized it!
Army Word Secret!
That's right, he used the Wine God Incantation to enhance his strength, aiming to use the Army Word Secret with demigod strength. This way, he could definitely make the asura blood sword detach from Tang Chen's hand.
The Army Word Secret could control All weapons under heaven, making them as extensions of one's arm. The asura blood sword, naturally, was no exception!
This was the first time he had used this secret art in front of everyone, catching them off guard.
Tang Chen never expected that the asura blood sword would be seized from him through the air!
He might be able to injure Tang Chen by using the Wine God Incantation, but that wasn't his primary goal. Moreover, he had so many people to protect here. For both the system reward and their safety, retreating was the conservative approach.
This might seem cowardly, but between [injuring Tang Chen leading to companions being injured or killed, and then him coming back for trouble with the asura blood sword] and [snatching the asura blood sword, obtaining the Demon Subjugation Tower for suppression, and leaving unharmed], smart people know which to choose.
"No!" Tang Chen erupted with full spirit power, intending to contend with Xiao Tian for control of the asura blood sword.
But how could Qian Daoliu let him succeed?
Helplessly, Tang Chen reacted quickly. The Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his hand, and he roared at Qian Daoliu: "Get out of the way!"
And in that instant, the asura blood sword had already arrived in front of Xiao Tian, emitting an extremely terrifying aura, though it was temporarily controlled by Xiao Tian's Army Word Secret.
Even when he used the Army Word Secret with combat power surpassing a demigod, it was still a bit difficult. The asura blood sword, as he had guessed, weighed tens of thousands of catties!
"Uncle Ning, transfer!"
The moment his hand touched the asura blood sword, Xiao Tian immediately said.
Ning Fengzhi immediately took out the jade pendant, thought of the location of Shu Mountain, and directly crushed it!
Xiao Wu, behind Xiao Tian, also grabbed the clothes on his back with one hand and Ning Rongrong's hand with the other. The group of people disappeared smoothly before everyone's eyes.
Everyone: ???
Qian Daoliu had just separated a trace of his divine sense to see what Xiao Tian was up to, only to see him take out a jade pendant, crush it, and then just disappear?
Only now did he realize that Xiao Tian wasn't just talking big. And how did he control Tang Chen's asura blood sword just now? Even he couldn't do that!
And the moment they transferred, Xiao Tian transmitted a message to Qian Renxue.
"Your father was killed by Bibi Dong. I hope you control your emotions after knowing the truth. I don't want you to be kept in the dark forever."
Qian Renxue's attention had been on Xiao TianAll along. She had been foolishly staring at their sudden disappearance, and then she reacted.
Xiao Tian's words made her face darken and turn somewhat pale. She looked at Bibi Dong behind her with a complicated expression. She finally knew why Bibi Dong had disliked her from the beginning.
So that was it. No wonder no matter what she did, Bibi Dong always looked indifferent, even hateful, whenever she saw her.
As the owner of the SeraphimSpiritGod Position, she could still perceive such malice.
She just hadn't been willing to believe it.
Bibi Dong was her biological mother, so why would she hate her so much, even wanting to kill her?
No wonder her six grandfathers had always treated Bibi Dong so badly. They must have known the truth long ago, right?
Only she was kept in the dark?!
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue felt as if her heart was stabbed by thousands of knives, hurting so much that she couldn't breathe...
But why did her grandfather say that the Qian family had wronged Bibi Dong? What exactly did her father do to Bibi Dong that provoked such outrage?
As for whether Xiao Tian would deceive her? She believed he wouldn't. This was her intuition; someone like Xiao Tian couldn't possibly lie to her!
Qian Renxue's emotions changed unpredictably, and the atmospheric pressure around her was very low. The Six High Priests had already sensed it. What suddenly happened?
