Borrowing a Knife to Kill

Chapter 48: Borrowing a Knife to Kill

Following the bizarre suicide of the demon bear, the atmosphere in the Elder Hall became extremely dangerous.

At this moment, even the few high priests who had previously maintained an attitude of detachment had heavy expressions on their faces.

Suicide?

No! Absolutely not!

Mental control!

This kid's martial soul is of the mental control type!

And it is an extremely dangerous one at that!

But, a spirit king, actually capable of countering a title douluo?

For a moment, the title douluos present all revealed their killing intent.

Too dangerous!

This kid is a hundred times more dangerous than any Clear Sky Sect!

If he can do this as a spirit king, what about after he becomes a spirit saint? After he becomes a title douluo?

Just as Bibi Dong said, if they let a lunatic like this survive today, they would be finished!

With this kind of bizarre mental control, one would truly not even know how they died!

"Oh? Preparing to attack together?" Nan Feng, sitting on the ground, smiled.

"That is indeed a viable plan; after all, I can only deal with one at a time, but..."

"How many do you think I can take with me before I die?"

"Also, do you really think you can kill me?"

"..."

Facing Nan Feng's expectant smile, a bone-chilling cold spread through every title douluo present. Even Qian Daoliu could not help but feel flustered.

In this world, not even Tang Chen could make him feel fear!

But he had to admit, looking at this kid, this lunatic, he was truly a little panicked!

Because even now, he still hadn't figured out how this kid had done it!

Bizarre! Absolutely bizarre!

Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes, looking at Bibi Dong, who remained seated in her chair with a cheerful smile.

This madwoman! Where did she find a lunatic like this?!

"What, don't even have the courage to place a bet?" Nan Feng sounded somewhat disappointed.

"You are all Title Douluo, people standing at the pinnacle of the continent, and there are so many of you!"

"Come on! Beat me to death! Go ahead, kill me!"

Watching Nan Feng's eerie demeanor, the group of Title Douluo who had risen to their feet subconsciously took a step back.

A lunatic! He's a fucking lunatic!

But! They truly didn't dare to make a move!

What if this kid took them down with him before he died?

Besides, just as the kid said, could they really kill him?

That strike from Demon Bear just now had been serious!

He absolutely hadn't held back!

Yet this kid was completely unscathed!

Furthermore, the sight of Demon Bear's death was still fresh in their minds!

Who the hell knew if this kid was really limited to controlling only one person at a time?

For a moment, the Title Douluo present all turned their gazes toward Qian Daoliu.

You're the boss, say something!

Qian Daoliu's eyes narrowed slightly. "What do you want?"

The kid's bizarre ability definitely had limitations. Otherwise, given his current madness, he would have just started fighting already; he wouldn't be wasting his breath on them!

But now that these elders had been intimidated, he couldn't very well send his high priests to test the waters and die.

Today, he had no choice but to concede.

"What do I want? Heh~" Nan Feng wore an expression as if looking at an idiot.

"Do you think it's appropriate for you to ask that question? You were the ones who wanted to rob me, and you were the ones who struck first. Now, you're asking me what I want? What, is the perpetrator preparing to put on a victim's act and play pretend?"

"Could you be any more disgusting?"

Qian Daoliu's expression remained unchanged. "You know full well the nature of this matter. If you hadn't paraded those humanoid spirit beasts through the streets, making it so the entire Martial Soul City knew you were holding two of them, this situation never would have happened."

"Oh?" Nan Feng was actually amused.

"So, just because I appeared with two humanoid spirit beasts, you feel justified in coming to snatch them?"

"Following that logic, your granddaughter is quite good-looking. Should I let everyone have a taste?"

Qian Daoliu's expression turned cold. His angel martial soul instantly manifested, and his angel god power began to circulate.

He refused to believe that this brat could control him even when he was empowered by the angel god power!

Seeing this, Nan Feng laughed, his laughter growing increasingly unrestrained.

"You finally moved!"

As soon as the words left his lips, Nan Feng fell backward, and simultaneously, everyone's attention shifted to Qian Daoliu.

"Heh heh~" A chilling laugh escaped from Qian Daoliu's mouth.

"Old thing, you've finally fallen into my hands!"

"High Priest!" Golden Crocodile felt a jolt of panic. He rushed forward to intervene, terrified that Qian Daoliu would self-mutilate just like Demon Bear had moments ago.

However, as soon as he got close, a strange smile appeared on "Qian Daoliu's" face. At the same time, the angel martial soul, empowered by god power, slammed a strike directly at the defenseless Golden Crocodile.

BOOM!!!

After the strike, Qian Daoliu regained his senses. He looked at Golden Crocodile, who had been sent flying by his own blow and was now lying there, life or death unknown. His expression froze completely.

What kind of technique was this?!

"Golden Crocodile!"

"Second Brother!"

Led by Qian Daoliu, the group of high priests rushed frantically toward the blasted-away Golden Crocodile.

"Cough, cough!" Severely injured, Golden Crocodile managed to sit up from the deep crater with Qian Daoliu's support.

Although he had managed to manifest his martial soul avatar in that split second, Qian Daoliu's strike had contained angel god power. Without having his martial soul avatar fully active, he simply couldn't block it!

If that strike had been delivered while Qian Daoliu had his martial soul avatar fully engaged, he would be dead by now!

"So this is angel god power? It really is impressive." Nan Feng sat up from the ground. There was a hint of fatigue in his eyes, but the madness on his face hadn't diminished in the slightest.

The ability of possession, while unsolvable, was not without its limitations.

The stronger the body he possessed, the greater the resistance he faced when moving it, the faster his mental energy was consumed, and the more intense the body's instinctive desire to resist his actions became. It was difficult for him to execute his will; after all, living organisms possess instinctive reactions to certain stimuli—like a knee-jerk reflex. Even if there is no subjective intent, as long as the stimulus is triggered, the body will react.

Self-harm, suicide—the same logic applied. The results of his previous experiment on Bibi Dong showed that once he possessed a level 97 Title Douluo, he could no longer control the body to commit acts of self-harm.

According to Bibi Dong, after reaching level 95, every level gained propelled the body and spirit to a new tier. This was especially true for spiritual power, which saw a major hurdle with almost every single level.

The reason Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile held such high prestige in the Elder Hall was precisely because their spiritual pressure alone was enough to severely injure any Title Douluo below level 95!

When he experimented on Bibi Dong before, although he succeeded in taking over her body, his spiritual power was consumed at an alarming rate. Furthermore, he had no way to force that body to perform any action that would harm itself.

The self-preservation mechanism of a Peak Douluo's body was simply too strong!

All he could do was attack others!

But with a new body, even manifesting a martial soul was incredibly difficult, let alone sensing the body's intricate details, circulating soul power, or launching an attack.

An unfamiliar body could only perform the simplest of actions. To truly unleash the power of that vessel, the host had to be prepared beforehand.

Just like Qian Daoliu a moment ago!

If the old man had only performed a basic martial soul avatar, he wouldn't have been able to do much after taking over.

That was why he had to make Qian Daoliu wary of him, forcing him to use his full strength to defend against him!

Martial soul avatar, plus angel domain, plus angel god power!

The Qian Daoliu from a moment ago was a sharpened blade!

Once he had it in his hands, all he had to do was swing it!

A perfect case of borrowing a knife to kill!
