"Boom--!"
The top of the cave rock finally collapsed under the bombardment of the ninth Soul Skill "Flame Sun Burst" Flame Dragon Douluo Huo Wushuang. Countless boulders wrapped in hot magma, like a world-destroying divine punishment, suddenly poured down, aiming directly at the figure with gray hair and blue clothes.
Huo Wushuang's eyes were red, and he was breathing heavy white smoke with a burning breath. Soul Power inside his body was almost hollowed out by this blow, and Blazing Dragon's real body began to flicker, but he still stared at the collapsed area.
Looking forward to seeing the scene where the monster is hit by tens of thousands of tons of Rock and swallowed by the hot magma. Even if the weird monster has the ability to travel through shadows, it will never be able to escape easily in such a large-scale, blind-angle landslide!
However, just before the collapsing boulder was about to completely submerge Gray-Haired Man--
The figure suddenly blurred.
It is not the kind of disappearance that merges into the shadow, but is more similar to a certain kind of spatial dislocation. In Huo Wushuang's perception, Gray-Haired Man's breath is like the reflection in the water being thrown into the stone, rippling and scattering in an instant, and the next moment--
He appeared on the edge of the collapse zone, just outside the "waterfall" of boulders and magma, unscathed. Not even the corners of his clothes were stained with any dust.
"Interesting idea." A low and hoarse voice sounded, with a hint of indescribable playfulness, and it was clearly passed into Huo Wushuang's ears. "Use the environment to create a wide range of physical attacks to make up for the speed... It is indeed Titled Douluo who has rich combat experience."
Huo Wushuang's heart suddenly sank not because the other party escaped the landslide unscathed - he had no absolute expectations for this. What chilled him was the other party's calmness.
His tone was as if the devastating attack and the landslide that could bury Titled Douluo just now were nothing more than a trivial game to him.
"But do you think," Gray-Haired Man slowly raised his head, his blurred face seemed to look at Huo Wushuang, who was trembling slightly from exhaustion in the distance, "That I would stand there obediently, waiting to be hit?"
Before he finished speaking, his figure became blurry again.
This time, Huo Wushuang didn't even see the trajectory of his movement clearly. He only felt a gray shadow flash in front of his eyes, and a cold wind with a faint Guixu breath of death was blowing in front of him!
So fast! Faster than the previous sneak attack Feng Xiaotian and instant kill assist Soul Douluo! He actually hid his strength before?!
Huo Wushuang was horrified, and instinctively wanted to retreat, but the Soul Power in his body was almost exhausted, and Martial Soul Avatar was still struggling, and his movements could not help but slow down for half a beat.
Gray-Haired Man did not attack him directly. The Bone Tail Scorpion Hook, which had charred cracks but still had a tenacious presence of gray mist at its tip, was just like a poisonous snake, swaying slightly less than a foot in front of Huo Wushuang's eyes.
"I'm about the same... I've had enough fun." Gray-Haired Man's hoarse voice was very close at hand, and beneath its plain tone was a bone-chilling indifference.
Play... enough?!
Huo Wushuang felt an indescribable humiliation and coldness that instantly tightened his heart. Feng Xiaotian and other companions died tragically. He tried his best and Soul Power was exhausted. In the eyes of the other party, it was just... "playing"?!
Before he could recover from the huge shock and anger, Gray-Haired Man's figure flashed again.
This time, he appeared next to Zhao Wuji.
Zhao Wuji is still sitting cross-legged, eyes closed, Soul Power all over his body fluctuates violently, and the powerful aura keeps rising upwards like a volcano about to erupt.
The power of 90,000 years Earth Dragon Lizard Soul Ring is being absorbed by him rapidly, and the barrier that breaks through Titled Douluo is as thin as a cicada's wings. He still seems to be unaware of everything in the outside world, but half of his charred body proves the thin line between life and death he has just experienced.
Gray-Haired Man stood quietly next to Zhao Wuji. The ferocious Bone Tail Scorpion Hook slowly lifted up, with the faint gray mist at the tip hovering just above Zhao Wuji's temple, not even an inch away.
He didn't even look at Huo Wushuang, he just turned his head slightly, as if he was admiring the majestic Soul Power fluctuations when Zhao Wuji broke through, and as if he was feeling the residual Soul Power breath of Earth Dragon Lizard under his feet.
Then, he spoke, his voice was not high, but the roar of falling gravel could clearly be heard by Penetration, and it penetrated into Huo Wushuang's ears:
"If you want him dead..."
The gray light flows slightly at the tip of the scorpion hook.
"Then just do it."
After the words fell, he stopped speaking and made no moves. He just stood there quietly, like a loyal guard who could kill everything at any time, standing next to Zhao Wuji - the target that Huo Wushuang wanted to protect even to the death.
Threat.
A naked, unabashed threat.
Gray-Haired Man used the most direct method to place a cruel multiple-choice question in front of Huo Wushuang, who had just been shaken because Soul Power had been exhausted and the attack failed.
Either you continue to attack, but your attack will affect Zhao Wuji first, or I will use this weird gray light to gently "click" on Zhao Wuji's temple before you attack, making him "disappear" like Feng Xiaotian and the others.
Or, you stop and watch, maybe you can delay for a while, and hope that Zhao Wuji will make a breakthrough at the last moment and create a miracle.
But will a miracle really happen?
Huo Wushuang's dragon eyes stared intently at Gray-Haired Man, then at Zhao Wuji, who was breathing heavily and unaware of the impending disaster. Finally, his eyes fell on the tip of Scorpion Tail, which was only an inch away from Zhao Wuji's temple and shone with an ominous gray light.
The fire in his body flickered on and off due to the extreme anger and struggle. The blazing high temperature burned the air and made a crackling sound, but it could not dispel the chill in his heart.
He had no doubt that as long as he made the slightest movement, Scorpion Tail would fall without hesitation. Zhao Wuji was at the critical moment of breakthrough, but in front of the gray light that could obliterate Titled Douluo, his unsuspecting temple was hit... There would be no suspense about the outcome.
If you do it, Zhao Wuji will definitely die, and it is very likely that he will die in an unknown way and "disappear" like Feng Xiaotian.
If you don't take action... will you just watch this monster standing next to Zhao Wuji? Waiting for him to break through? Will this monster just watch Zhao Wuji succeed in breaking through? It's impossible to even think about it with your toes!
This is a desperate situation with no solution.
Huo Wushuang's teeth clenched loudly, but due to the excessive force, his gums even oozed blood mixed with the blood from the previous shock at the corner of his mouth, making it look particularly ferocious. He had never felt so powerless and desperate.
Sora had the cultivation level of Titled Douluo, but due to the opponent's calculations, he was forced into a corner and even fighting for his life became a luxury.
"What... what do you want?!" Huo Wushuang squeezed out a hoarse voice from deep in his throat. Blazing Earth Dragon's true body began to become unstable due to Soul Power's violent fluctuations and emotional impact, and the flames alternated between light and dark.
Gray-Haired Man seemed to have finally turned his attention away from Zhao Wuji and "looked" at Huo Wushuang again. Under the blurry face, those two indifferent eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.
"What do I want?" He repeated, Bone Tail Scorpion Hook adjusted the angle slightly, and the gray mist was half a minute closer to Zhao Wuji's skin. "I'm just waiting for a result."
He paused, and there was no emotion in his voice.
"Wait until he succeeds in breaking through, or... fails."
"Or, wait for you to make your choice."
Huo Wushuang's heart completely sank to the bottom. He understood that this monster not only wanted to kill people, but also wanted to kill people's hearts! He would let himself watch his hope being extinguished in extreme pain and struggle, or destroy his last hope with his own hands.
