Er Ming's Astonishing Wisdom
Leng Yaozhu was both shocked and furious.
What surprised her was that the aura emanating from the burly man opposite her was clearly much stronger than hers; that thick and heavy pressure clearly indicated that he had already stepped into the level of Quasi-God.
What angered her was that, right here in Shrek City, right under the nose of the Spirit Pagoda, someone actually dared to openly attack Huo Yuhao.
Beneath the platinum-colored mask, Leng Yaozhu's brows furrowed in a cold expression. She looked at Er Ming and asked in a chilling voice, "Who are you?"
Er Ming frowned slightly, clearly not expecting Leng Yaozhu to arrive so quickly.
Logically, upon seeing reinforcements arrive, the safest option should be to retreat immediately.
But Er Ming did not make that choice. He stood there looking at Leng Yaozhu's white and gold Battle Armor, his gaze steady, but his brows were still furrowed.
In Leng Yaozhu's perception, Er Ming was a Quasi-God level Limit Douluo.
In reality, he is God Official in the Divine Realm, a being who truly deserves to be called a "god".
However, he is currently in the lower realm of the Douluo Continent, and his cultivation level has been forcibly suppressed to the level of Quasi-God by the laws of the plane.
However, even among Quasi-God, there are differences in skill level, Er Ming is undoubtedly among the top tier.
Er Ming didn't respond to Leng Yaozhu's question; he didn't even bother to offer a single explanation and simply threw a punch.
This punch was delivered without any restraint; the air crackled sharply where the force passed, and even the ground trembled and cracked from the aftershocks of the power.
Leng Yaozhu's pupils shrank sharply. Even though she was wearing Battle Armor, she still felt a sense of dread when faced with this punch.
But she couldn't hide; Huo Yuhao was right behind her.
A layer of incandescent Heavenly Phoenix True Fire suddenly ignited around her, the flames carrying an indomitable blaze as they met the force of the fist.
Er Ming was clearly more at ease at this moment. While punching Leng Yaozhu, he reached out with his left hand again and grabbed straight at Huo Yuhao.
Although he decided to take action, he knew clearly that he didn't have much time left.
Now that Leng Yaozhu has arrived, the other powerful figures from the Spirit Pagoda should arrive soon.
Faced with the threat of Quasi-God, Huo Yuhao had already donned his Battle Armor immediately.
The silver-white armor flowed smoothly along his body, with icy blue patterns spreading rapidly along the shoulder and breastplates.
Immediately following, the External Soul Bone Ice and Fire Dragon King Armor appeared, its dark red and ice blue dragon scale patterns intertwining and reflecting each other, further elevating his aura.
Although his current cultivation level is only that of Soul Douluo, he is not without power to resist Quasi-God; he has far too many trump cards up his sleeve.
At that moment, he was rapidly calculating which methods to use next when he suddenly sensed a disturbance in his Spirit Sea.
Immediately afterwards, a stream of light emerged from between his eyebrows, eventually transforming into an oval-shaped token that hovered in mid-air.
The token was bluish-gray in color, with a rough and heavy texture, as if it were carved from a single piece of natural rock from a mountain.
One side of the token is engraved with a neat "Tang" character, the strokes of which are steady and powerful, as if they were chiseled in one stroke by one with a sharp tool.
On the other side is engraved a hammer with a rounded head and a short, thick handle, simple yet rugged.
Huo Yuhao was familiar with that hammer; he had seen it on Wang Dong'er and Tang Wulin as well.
That was the Clear Sky Hammer, the iconic martial spirit passed down through the Clear Sky Sect.
The fact that an object can be collected into the Spirit Sea already indicates that it is no ordinary item.
This token was given to him by Wang Dong'er ten thousand years ago; it was her Young Master Token of the Clear Sky Sect.
At this moment, the token actually "reacted" with the person opposite him. Huo Yuhao's heart suddenly stirred, and a thought almost subconsciously surfaced in his mind.
The person opposite me... is from the Clear Sky Sect?!
The Clear Sky Sect, a secluded sect from ten thousand years ago, vanished into the long river of history ten thousand years later.
In the current history of the Federation, there are very few records about the Clear Sky Sect, which has existed for nearly a thousand years.
Even if the Clear Sky Sect still exists, according to Huo Yuhao's deduction, there should only be a handful of minor figures left. How could a Quasi-God level being suddenly appear out of nowhere?
Huo Yuhao couldn't understand it, Er Ming on the other side couldn't understand it even more.
Er Ming's gaze was fixed on the bluish-gray token floating in front of Huo Yuhao, his heart churning with a shock far more intense than Huo Yuhao's.
He recognized the token at a glance; it was a keepsake he had made himself ten thousand years ago and given to Wang Dong'er.
But how did this token end up on this "descendant of the Spirit Ice Bloodline"?
Could this have been left behind by the Spirit Ice Douluo from ten thousand years ago?
Surely Spirit Ice wouldn't pass on the token Wang Dong'er gave him to someone else's descendants?
Could this boy in front of me, who looks almost exactly like Spirit Ice from ten thousand years ago, be Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong's child?
Er Ming was about to dismiss this idea, but then he thought about Tang San's past actions and realized it wasn't impossible!
This is the result of his extraordinary wisdom!
Thinking of this, his movements involuntarily slowed down by half a beat.
It was that moment of hesitation that caused him to miss the best opportunity to strike.
Several figures rushed in, their auras at the level of three Super Douluo unleashed without any concealment.
Seeing Er Ming, Erming frowned slightly, knowing that he had no chance of succeeding.
He didn't attack again. Instead, he darted away, grabbed Xiong Jun was still deeply immersed in the illusion and hadn't fully woken up, and flew away into the distance by the back of his collar.
Leng Yaozhu stood still, her gaze following the departing figure, but she did not make a move to stop it.
She knew that if a Quasi-God level expert insisted on leaving, it would take at least three beings of the same level to act simultaneously to stop him.
So she simply watched in silence as the two figures completely disappeared from sight, and then slowly retracted her Battle Armor.
She turned around, her gaze sweeping over Huo Yuhao from head to toe. Only after confirming he was unharmed did she breathe a slight sigh of relief and ask, "Are you alright?"
Huo Yuhao was still pondering the identity of the person from earlier, and upon hearing this, he simply shook his head to indicate that he was unharmed.
Only then did the two turn their gaze to the three figures who had just landed, namely Qiangu Dongfeng, Han Tianyi, and Da Mo.
Qiangu Dongfeng frowned slightly and asked, "Who is it? How dare they attack the people from my Spirit Pagoda in Shrek City?"
Leng Yaozhu and Huo Yuhao could respond, more than a dozen figures swept in and landed around them.
Those auras, some strong and some weak, were all, without exception, those of powerful figures ranked among the top in the Spirit Pagoda.
Just now Er Ming unleashed his Quasi-God level aura without reservation. That pressure swept across the entire city like a tsunami, and naturally, it could not escape the senses of these people.
Leng Yaozhu's gaze shifted to Qiangu Dongfeng, and the slight softening expression she had shown when she glanced at Huo Yuhao turned cold again.
She looked at Qiangu Dongfeng, her voice not loud, but carrying an undisguised coldness. "Qiangu Dongfeng, it seems you've forgotten what I said again."
Qiangu Dongfeng was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, but then he understood what Leng Yaozhu was referring to.
What did she say?
Naturally, it's that line: "If anyone dares to lay a hand on Yuhao again, I will make trouble for you, Qiangu Dongfeng."
As soon as Leng Yaozhu finished speaking, her aura surged once again.
Platinum-gold Heavenly Phoenix True Fire rose around her, and her phoenix eyes burned with undisguised rage, truly showing that she was about to take action against Qiangu Dongfeng right here.
Seeing this, the surrounding crowd dared not stand idly by any longer and stepped forward to stop them.
Several elders and powerful figures attacked simultaneously, some standing between the two, others shouting to mediate, and the scene quickly descended into chaos.
If the Vice Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda were to fight each other on the streets of Shrek City, and if word got out, the entire Spirit Pagoda would become a laughing stock across the continent.
