Chapter 488: Chapter 482.
Chapter 482.
"Besides, the Soul Hall also said that as long as we surrender to them, the Heaven Dou Empire will still have the ability to manage its internal affairs and govern itself. Wouldn't that be better? You're a talented individual. I know you've recently established the Tang Sect. I promise that if you assist in helping me quickly ascend the throne and achieve the unification of the Heaven Dou Empire, I will ensure that your Tang Sect flourishes on the mainland!"
Wang Feng was stunned after hearing this.
'Damn, it makes sense!'
The image of a prince who is awe-inspiring, benevolent, and for the country and the people, is poured into the image of the prince of the Soul Hall, and it becomes vividly apparent in just a few words!
Not to mention, Wang Feng actually thought it made quite sense.
Tang San, outside, was also extremely shocked.
"This is ridiculous..." Tang San thought for a moment before shaking his head and saying coldly, "Does the prince not know what the Soul Hall is really like? And you don't need to act like you're doing this for the –country and the people. Do you think the usurper can be trusted? It's not just about the situation, you don't even have the most fundamental sense of humanity. The reason why people are human is that they have emotional boundaries. You don't even have that. You're not worthy of being called a person."
After Tang San finished speaking, something in the back seemed to trigger a mechanism, and he saw a fireball shot directly toward the outside door.
It moved fast, and in the blink of an eye, it exploded outside.
It was a special signal flare made by Tang Sect!
"Your Royal Highness, we've made ourselves clear enough, you shouldn't need to hide it any longer, right?"
Tang San looked at the soldiers around him, as if he didn't care at all.
Although these soul masters were of a high level, they had no combat effectiveness in front of the old poison.
With Dugu Bo's poison power, those weaker than him were like reeds blown by the wind, falling in large numbers.
Thinking about this, Tang San looked at Xue Qinghe quietly.
With the strength of Old Poison and Yang Wudi, even two Titled Douluos wouldn't be able to stand against them here.
Let alone just one.
Even if a Super Douluo of level ninety-five or higher came, they might not be able to defend against them.
To know that Dugu Bo was already level 94, nearing level 95!
So, what kind of cards did Xue Qinghe still have to give him this confidence?
Xue Qinghe was silent for a while, then spoke slowly: "If that's the case, then no one can blame me. Come out."
With those words, a figure walked out from behind the screen.
When this figure emerged, Tang San felt as though he couldn't breathe!
"White Pontiff!"
Dugu Bo exclaimed in shock.
The person in front of them was dressed in white, with a mask covering his face, his eyes hidden.
It was the person who had been declared dead by the Soul Hall—the White Pontiff!
A fraudulent corpse?
Tang San was also confused. How could this be? Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, in such a dangerous situation, how did the White Pontiff survive? Even the Soul Hall announced that he was dead!
Could it be that all of that was fake?
The more Tang San thought about it, the darker his expression became.
If this were true, the people in the Soul Hall were too deep in their schemes, even using this method to spread the news that the White Pontiff was dead!
"He is the White Pontiff?" Yang Wudi said, his soul-breaking spear flashing in his hand as he stared at the white figure with a solemn expression.
A few months ago, the name of the White Pontiff had shaken the whole of mainland!
"It seems that Xue Qinghe is not an ordinary person..." Dugu Bo looked at the White Pontiff with a gloomy expression. "Who is worthy of the White Pontiff's protection? What a respected position one must have to be protected by someone as strong as him! Let's go!"
With that, Dugu Bo let out a loud whistle, and all nine of his soul rings appeared, revealing his massive Martial Soul True form.
The Jade Phosphorus Serpent Emperor swallowed a dazzling light and sprayed poisonous mist directly around them!
With the poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, it was almost instantaneous. As soon as the soul masters around him touched it, their skin began to glow black, and the poison seeped into their bodies, quickly eroding them.
Yang Wudi, holding his Soul Breaking Spear, immediately attacked the White Pontiff.
"Hold them –back!" Tang San said solemnly. "As soon as they receive my flare, the teacher and Sect Master Ning will be here. Even if it's the White Pontiff, it will be hard for him to escape!"
With that, Tang San stood still, expanding both his Blue Silver Domain and Killing Domain.
These domains had varying degrees of influence and blessings on Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo.
The power of a domain is called a domain because it is controllable within that space.
For enemies, it is a side effect, but for allies, it is a positive influence.
Clearly, the poisonous fog that Dugu Bo spread was able to travel further within the Blue Silver Domain, making it difficult for the enemies to defend.
As for Yang Wudi, the Killing God Domain could influence people's spirits, which was a great boost.
His Soul-Breaking Spear originally possesses a powerful killing aura, and within the Killing God Domain, it could unleash even greater strength. The most important thing was that Yang Wudi's eight soul abilities, aside from the Martial Soul True Body of his weapon soul, all had boosting effects.
On the contrary, Yang Wudi didn't have obvious active attacks with his martial soul abilities, but with every strike, he could unleash attack power comparable to a Titled Douluo.
In Tang San's understanding, Yang Wudi's Soul-Breaking Spear, in terms of offensive capability, was equal to or even stronger than Sword Douluo's at the same level. It had reached an extraordinarily terrifying level!
At this moment, Yang Wudi shot forward like a beam of light, directly attacking the White Pontiff!
Wang Feng frowned slightly and condensed a sharp blade, forming a sword in his hand.
No choice—since the White Pontiff always used a sword, Wang Feng had no option but to fight back with a sword himself.
The howling wind picked up as Wang Feng held a jet-black long sword. His figure flashed, vanishing in place like a floating trace.
This was the first time Yang Wudi and Wang Feng had met, and the attack from this shot was certainly powerful. But that was all.
If Yang Wudi were to be a Titled Douluo wielding a weapon martial soul, even then he might not be able to compete with Wang Feng. He was the White Pontiff, and he possessed strength in all aspects.
No, to be more precise, he is an all-rounder.
From strength to speed, from reaction to perception, the White Pontiff had been able to rival many old Titled Douluos just a few months ago.
After passing through the Star Dou Great Forest, the White Pontiff had clearly grown even stronger. Wasn't that too much of an advantage?
So, Wang Feng slashed sideways with a single sword, executing the Seven Kill Sword technique, "Sword Breaks Nanshan," forming a sky-splitting sword light that sent Yang Wudi flying!
Fortunately, Yang Wudi managed to condense the soul power on his chest at the critical moment, barely blocking the sword light.
But because of that, he was sent flying, vomiting blood.
"So strong!" Tang San sighed, "The White Pontiff seems to have become even stronger! Did he also gain some opportunity in the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Tang San knew that the White Pontiff had visited the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Sect and learned Sword Douluo's Seven Kills Sword Style.
Seeing this, Tang San didn't hesitate any longer. He knew that if he couldn't hold off the opponent now or even allowed the White Pontiff to kill him, it would be over.
"Old Poison, release the poison!" Tang San shouted fiercely.
With a loud scream from Dugu Bo, the eighth soul ring on his body suddenly bloomed, and countless green lights scattered around.
Time seemed to freeze.
It seemed that, based on his previous experience with the White Pontiff, Dugu Bo didn't approach directly but instead used his "Time Freeze" from a distance.
The figure of the White Pontiff suddenly froze.
It was at this moment that Tang San's Blue Silver Domain gathered, forming a long spear, as he wielded the Blue Silver Overlord Spear and attacked.
He didn't use any control-type abilities because he knew his soul power level couldn't exert control over such a terrifying opponent. Only by using Dugu Bo's Time Freeze could he have a chance to control the opponent.
No matter how strong his Blue Silver Emperor –was, it was impossible for his level to control someone as formidable as the White Pontiff.
So, he directly launched a powerful attack to strike his opponent!
"Killing God Stab!" Tang San shouted as his figure turned into a white glow, attacking the White Pontiff.
At the same time, Yang Wudi, who had just been knocked back, shifted the Soul-Breaking Spear in his hand and also launched it toward the White Pontiff.
At this point, the Spear transformed into the Martial Soul True form of the weapon soul. It seemed as though Yang Wudi had shrunk, holding the oversized spear like a child. Yet, the power behind it was absolutely terrifying.
Two spears came—Tang San's Blue Silver Overlord Spear and Yang Wudi's Soul-Breaking Spear!
This overwhelming attack also involved Qian Renxue.
Her soul power was actually quite high. Upon seeing the White Pontiff about to be attacked, she snorted coldly, and several golden lights blossomed on her body.
Six light wings appeared directly behind her, and the golden lights spread out, instantly breaking through Tang San's two domains.
Tang San and Yang Wudi were shocked, their attacks slowed by the golden light.
It was this small delay that allowed the White Pontiff to recover!
Dugu Bo's Time Freeze had a limited effect on him, only lasting a few seconds!
"Be careful of the domain!" Dugu Bo shouted.
This endless golden light was Qian Renxue's Angel Domain!
Seven soul rings lit up on her body, and her soul power fluctuations reached level 79, almost level 80!
Wang Feng reacted, wielding two swords in hand, directly breaking through the two offensive strikes.
The two figures flew backward.
Qian Renxue frowned slightly, sensing that Wang Feng had clearly held back, but the others might not have noticed.
After a moment's thought, she realized –that the White Pontiff had been pretending. Naturally, he couldn't fully act as the White Pontiff–.
"Wait, I need to expose my identity... so that I won't have any more possibilities for the future," Qian Renxue thought to herself.
"Don't kill them." She chuckled lightly, "If people are about to die, maybe their choices will change."
Wang Feng: "..."
Wang Feng likely understood Qian Renxue's intentions. She was obviously trying to solicit them, and by doing so, she was going to reveal her true identity. He stood there in silence, not speaking.
Under the weight of the two swords, both Tang San and Yang Wudi had suffered varying degrees of injury. However, due to Qian Renxue's 'command,' Wang Feng had intentionally left some strength behind.
"Tang San, you said I have no bottom line in principle," Qian Renxue said with a smile. "But do you know who I really am? I am not the real Xue Qinghe, so I don't need to follow the so-called bottom line you mentioned. We're simply playing for two different sides. If he really were my father, I naturally wouldn't kill him!"
"Think about what I just said. I control the Heaven Dou Empire, but it's only to hurt the people of the Empire."
As she spoke, Qian Renxue's entire body shook, and a ray of light slowly appeared beside her, retreating to reveal her true face.
Wang Feng paused for a moment, realizing that this was the second time he had seen Qian Renxue.
Her golden hair swayed in the wind, and her face was stunning, her features as exquisite as a half-blood beauty Wang Feng had seen in his memories. Her tall and elegant figure was mesmerizing, yet it was her cold, superior demeanor that stood out most. She carried an aura of authority, somewhat similar to Bibi Dong, but not quite as overwhelming.
Her phoenix like eyes were cold, yet they held a certain majesty and allure.
"My name is Qian Renxue," she said coldly and arrogantly. "Think carefully now. If you swear allegiance to me, I will spare your lives."
Wang Feng: "..."
After finally revealing her identity, Wang Feng was surprised by how relaxed Qian Renxue seemed.
Of course, Tang San couldn't feel that way. He was more shocked than anyone.
"Alright," Tang San's eyes flickered with determination. "As long as you promise one condition, I will swear allegiance to you..."
Qian Renxue was stunned. She had just casually mentioned revealing her identity, expecting them to back down, but Tang San clearly wasn't the kind of person who would simply surrender.
After thinking for a moment, Qian Renxue realized that Tang San was trying to delay time. To assert that her identity had been revealed, she slowly asked, "What conditions?"
"Supreme Pontiff's life," Tang San replied.
At these words, Qian Renxue's eyes turned cold. She glanced at Tang San and, after counting the seconds, spoke with a voice that was cold and merciless: "Kill them! Give me Tang San, and you can deal with the other two!"
Seeing this, Wang Feng's heart stirred. It seemed that Qian Renxue still had some affection for her mother after all. Otherwise, she wouldn't have reacted with even the slightest anger. Wang Feng shook his head inwardly. Both mother and daughter were the same.
Although Qian Renxue seemed very cruel, if it truly came down to letting the other party die, Wang Feng suspected she would be the first to step in and protect her.
Soon, the battle continued.
In all honesty, with Wang Feng's current strength, although he couldn't unleash his full potential, he still had no problem facing off against Old Poison and Yang Wudi. Even though Yang Wudi's Soul Breaking Spear was very powerful, Wang Feng had activated his bloodline power, allowing him to use the strength of White Pontiff. His capabilities were at their peak, making Yang Wudi's attacks completely ineffective.
Moreover, Yang Wudi lacked the ability to lock onto him. His mental power was far weaker than Wang Feng's, so he couldn't track Wang Feng at all. Every shot he took only wasted soul power.
Old Poison had become stronger as well, but Wang Feng's use of the Seven Kills Sword Style Technique was enough to make him scramble. However, Wang Feng wasn't trying to kill, as Qian Renxue knew he was only pretending.
Soon enough, the battle's outcome became clear. Wang Feng remained calm, watching the confrontation between Tang San –and Qian Renxue.
