"This light, damn it!" the black-robed man roared, seemingly even more afraid of this move than Tang San and Xue Beng, who were being invaded by evil energy.
In order not to expose his identity, he had been fighting Gu Rong without releasing his Spirit, already retreating steadily. Now, he finally couldn't bear it any longer.
"Sixth Spirit Ability, Angel Shield!" The black-robed man's Spirit appeared, surprisingly an Angel. Two yellow, two purple, and five black Spirit Rings demonstrated his Titled Douluo strength. The difference was that his Angel Wings were black and he only had four.
A pitch-black shield completely blocked the light of the Five Elements Purifying Evil.
At the same time, his robe fell off, revealing the appearance of an ordinary middle-aged man.
"That Spirit, could it be, Four-Winged Fallen Angel!" Tianlin exclaimed in shock.
The opposite of the legendary Angel Spirit, completely opposite to Qian Renxue's representation of the sacred Angel of good, this was the representative of evil.
"Hmph, it seems Master's mission can't be completed. I'll retreat today!" The man prepared to leave, not caring about Xue Beng anymore.
"Want to leave? Fourth Spirit Ability, Bone Prison!" How could Gu Rong just watch him leave like that? He immediately summoned a huge bone forest to block all his escape routes.
At the same time, he placed a space channel directly above to limit his flying ability.
Unfortunately, Gu Rong underestimated this person's decisiveness. A circle of domain suddenly spread out from his body, restricting Gu Rong's power. Then, bursts of extremely dark flames emerged from his body, and his last Spirit Ring flickered violently. "Ninth Spirit Ability, Turbid Demonic Flame!"
The terrifying Netherworld Fire suddenly erupted, instantly destroying Bone Douluo's Bone Prison. After all, this was just a Fourth Spirit Ability, and it had been weakened by the domain.
Gu Rong didn't have time to use his Ninth Spirit Ability to fight back. He had to protect the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect first. The attack range of this Turbid Demonic Flame was extremely large.
The huge skeleton not only protected the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but also Tang San and Xue Beng, who had just been purified and were still unconscious.
After a long time, the demonic fire dissipated. Gu Rong withdrew his defensive formation. Although everyone was fine, the bodies of the original tens of thousands of soldiers had all turned into ashes. The Fallen Angel Douluo had also disappeared without a trace.
"Just now, was that, Kiling God Domain?" Tianlin was shocked. Gu Rong's power had been weakened by about ten percent in an instant. Wasn't that the Kiling God Domain?
"No, that's not right. That domain could only weaken the opponent, but couldn't strengthen itself. This is a weakened version of the Kiling God Domain, at most a Killing Intent Domain!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm denied, "But regardless, this guy must have some connection with Spirit Hall and Slaughter City. It seems that after you break through to Titled Douluo, you have to go back to Slaughter City to take a look!"
"Mm!" Tianlin nodded. He knew Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's concerns. The Slaughter King was too strong. If there was really a problem there, Tianlin would not even have the power to protect himself if he went now. It was better to wait until he broke through to Titled Douluo before going to investigate.
Ning Fengzhi used Soul Power to blow away the surrounding dust and said, "What a powerful flame. I've heard that the Angel Spirit controls the power of holiness, light, and the sun, but I didn't expect that this Fallen Angel also controls such a powerful flame, just much more sinister."
"It's a pity that he still ran away. Otherwise, we would definitely be able to find out the truth. I don't believe that someone with such a Spirit would be on Qian Daoliu or Bibi Dong's side. He said he was for Spirit Hall, he must be trying to divert the blame." Gu Rong was very unhappy. He was so close to the truth, but the other party escaped so easily.
If he hadn't spent a lot of Soul Power to deal with the Subduing Demon Douluo just now, and had to protect the disciples of the sect, he would definitely have been able to take him down.
"Alright, Uncle Bone, there's nothing we can do about it. We've been fighting fiercely all night, and none of us are in our best condition. Otherwise, he wouldn't be your opponent at all." Ning Fengzhi comforted, "But fortunately, the crisis is finally over. Now we can really take a breath. Take Xue Beng and Tang San back to the sect. Oh, right, send someone to notify Prince Xue Xing and let him come to pick them up."
Ning Fengzhi gave the order to a Soul Emperor who hadn't consumed much energy, and then staggered towards the sect. Tianlin quickly stepped forward to support him.
He fully understood that in order to get through tonight, Ning Fengzhi had consumed a lot of Soul Power, physical strength, and Mental Power. In fact, wasn't he the same? Now that his HP and MP were close to zero, if he really fought with Tang San, he might not be able to beat him.
"Uncle Ning, thanks to your planning, we were able to achieve such a great victory." Tianlin said as he helped him forward.
"My contribution is not as great as yours. It should be said that this is the result of our concerted efforts." Ning Fengzhi smiled. In fact, in today's battle, if he and Tianlin were missing either one, the sect would have suffered heavy losses.
Fortunately, God took pity and allowed Tianlin's power and Ning Fengzhi's wisdom to be born in the same era, which would produce such a huge chemical reaction.
"But I still have some doubts. What exactly did you base your constant deduction that this Xue Beng was related to Spirit Hall on?" Tianlin asked the question that had been in his mind all along. If it were him, just based on Xue Beng's identity, he wouldn't have thought of him in the direction of Spirit Hall.
"Actually, I never judged, it was all just reasoning. His Majesty is seriously ill, Xue Qinghe holds great power, the thing that Xue Beng should do most at this time is to continue pretending to be a playboy on the surface, accumulate strength in secret, and then accumulate strength for a blow, directly launch a coup d'état with lightning speed, and ascend the throne as Emperor."
"The policies formulated by Xue Qinghe are very targeted at Soul Masters and nobles. In fact, there are many people who don't want him to ascend the throne, including even some military forces that should not be involved in party struggles. After all, the main purpose of those who become generals is to enjoy more resources. People like Marshal Ge Long who are wholeheartedly for the country and loyal to the royal family are always just a minority. They could also become Xue Beng's strength."
"But he jumped out to fight for the throne at the worst possible time. First, this directly aroused Xue Qinghe's attention. Second, he constantly forced those generals who were not involved in the factional disputes to take sides with Xue Qinghe. The result was that Marshal Ge Long and other generals were forced to leave and garrison the frontier. After all, the military's non-involvement in factional disputes is an iron rule, and no one dares to violate the ban openly!"
"With most of the generals leaving, the Imperial Guards near Heaven Dou City were quickly controlled by Xue Qinghe, the crown prince. Did he do so much just to pave the way for Xue Qinghe? I don't think he's that stupid, otherwise he wouldn't have been the only one of the princes to survive Xue Qinghe."
"After most of the generals left Heaven Dou City, Xue Qinghe had control of the Imperial Guards. At this time, it was easy for him to bring in the Spirit Hall personnel involved in the Soul Hunting Operation. Xue Beng's actions make me suspect that he is helping Spirit Hall complete the Soul Hunting Plan."
"Most importantly, he even participated in it himself. Moreover, Prince Xue Xing didn't come for such a big operation. If he were here, he would never allow Xue Beng to do this. After all, he knows that my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect cannot be destroyed, otherwise, even if Xue Beng ascends the throne, without a Titled Douluo in the country, how can Heaven Dou's military strength compete with Spirit Hall and Star Luo."
Ning Fengzhi told Tianlin the process of his deduction in detail.
After listening, Tianlin cursed himself for being stupid. He had never noticed Xue Beng's obvious flaws. He had wondered why Xue Beng jumped out when he shouldn't have.
He just hadn't investigated it deeply. If Ning Fengzhi hadn't thought further ahead, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have suffered a great disaster because of this oversight.
It seems that he can't always rely on foresight to do things in the future. It is necessary to improve his wisdom and think about more different possibilities.
