Snake Lance Douluo was taken aback. "Who are you looking for?"
"Besides Tang Chen, who else in this world knows that kind of move?" Qian Daoliu said.
Snake Lance Douluo She Long's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. " Tang Hao? He... wasn't he severely injured by you and missing for many years? How could he be hiding in this Sunset Forest?"
Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes, scanning the direction of Sunset Forest. "That kid is incredibly resilient. Besides, who else but him could teach Xuan Ming such bizarre techniques?"
She Long nodded slightly, but secretly wondered what was going on in his mind.
Tang Hao single-handedly managed to severely injure the Pope despite being surrounded by numerous experts from the Spirit Hall, demonstrating his terrifying strength and talent.
If he is indeed hiding in this Sunset Forest and secretly teaching Xuan Ming, then the things he is plotting behind the scenes are probably quite significant.
" Tang Hao?" Qian Renxue slowly raised her head, her eyes revealing coldness.
"What's the meaning?"
"Young Master, Xuan Ming just used a secret technique that is very similar to the Clear Sky Sect's Ring Detonation, unleashing a full-force attack at the Soul Saint level," said Snake Lance Douluo.
"Besides Tang Chen, who has long since disappeared, only Tang Hao knows that kind of move."
" Soul Saint level?" Qian Renxue was taken aback.
"How is this possible? He's just a Soul Ancestor..."
"What do you think Ring Detonation is?" Qian Daoliu said coldly.
"Have you forgotten what happened with Tang Hao back then?"
The Ring Detonation was created by Tang Chen and is the ultimate technique of the Great Sumeru Hammer. However, this move places extremely high demands on the body, and even that guy could hardly withstand it. Moreover, Tang Chen created the Ring Detonation after reaching level 70, combining it with the Great Sumeru Hammer passed down through generations of the Clear Sky Sect.
But that guy was ultimately just a mortal, not Demigod like him who had been elevated through God's Trial. The greater the boost from the Ring Detonation, the greater the backlash. If Tang Chen were to unleash the Ring Detonation at full Soul Power while at Level 99, he could briefly reach the God Level, but his body would definitely collapse!
The cost of Ring Detonation was simply too high, so Tang Chen stopped using them after reaching Level 99.
Tang Chen was preoccupied with his promise to Bo Saixi to become a god, and he had to consider his duty as Angel God, so their battle was not a life-or-death struggle.
If both sides act without restraint, Tang Chen can kill him, but after he dies, Tang Chen will also die!
After Tang Chen, only Tang Hao has mastered the art of Ring Detonation!
That kid was even more of a madman, abandoning all balance and transforming all the power of the Ring Detonation into the ultimate force.
Back when Tang Hao was at level 84, Qian Xunji received the news and sent Demon Bear Douluo to snatch the Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast. As a result, not only did he fail, but he also had his leg broken by that kid.
Afterwards, Qian Xunji personally led a team to encircle and annihilate the enemy, and almost suffered a mutual destruction at the hands of that kid!
Even he couldn't catch that kid when he tried to catch him himself!
If Xuan Ming is related to Tang Hao, even if it means breaking ties with Bibi Dong, he will definitely kill that kid!
"A similar secret technique alone doesn't seem enough to prove that he has a connection with Tang Hao, does it?" Qian Renxue said.
"What if he also has a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone?" Qian Daoliu said Youyou.
"That Life force... it's most likely the Soul Bone left behind by that transformed Soul Beast from back then!"
Even Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone could not possibly continue to provide healing under the suppression of his divine Soul Power!
Only Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone can achieve this!
Moreover, the pale golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass, along with the power that gathers the plant energy from the forest to help Xuan Ming resist the suppression of his divine Soul Power, is the Blue Silver Emperor!
"But how could he be in contact with Tang Hao?" Qian Renxue still couldn't figure it out.
"Then I'll have to ask you." Qian Daoliu turned around.
" Tang Yuehua, that woman is Tang Hao's sister."
"And besides, you were the one who pushed that kid over there!"
"..."
The Sunset Forest.
Because Xuan Ming's current physical condition was too poor, the Ice Dragon King did not allow Bibi Dong to take him back to Heaven Dou City. Instead, he gave her directions, leading her towards the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
This is her old base after all, so even if Qian Daoliu comes again, there won't be any major problems.
Furthermore, Qian Daoliu now most likely suspects that Xuan Ming learned the Ring Detonation from Tang Hao, and will inevitably send people into Sunset Forest to search for him.
If Qian Daoliu really finds this place and they're not there, that would be quite awkward.
"Where is this place?" Following the Ice Dragon King's guidance, Bibi Dong flew down from the top of the valley.
Sensing the intense clash between ice and fire energies in this place, Bibi Dong instinctively activated her Soul Power shield, enveloping Xuan Ming.
"Do you see that hot spring?" the Ice Dragon King asked.
"Hot spring?" Bibi Dong looked towards the direction of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where she saw a pool where half of it was a blazing red, like a burning flame, and the other half was a cold blue, like flowing ice.
"That ice and fire pool?"
"Just throw him in," the Ice Dragon King said.
"Throw it in?" Bibi Dong frowned.
"Even I might not be able to withstand the energy inside for long. In his current state, would he go in and die?"
"Throwing him in won't kill him, but if you delay any longer, he might really die," the Ice Dragon King said.
Xuan Ming is now truly half-dead!
The excessive backlash from the Ring Devouring, coupled with Qian Daoliu, would have killed him long ago if it weren't for the powerful regenerative ability of the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone.
Bibi Dong hesitated for a moment, then carried Xuan Ming to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. "Are you sure there won't be any problems?"
"Would I harm him?" the Ice Dragon King said speechlessly.
"Hurry up, we can't delay any longer."
"Wait a minute, are you just going to throw it away already?"
"Otherwise what?"
"Take off his clothes, take his Soul Tool, and throw him in. All of these things will be gone."
"Take... take off all your clothes?"
"Otherwise what?"
"..."
"Oh, oh, oh! Feeling embarrassed now? Weren't you quite decisive when you tore his clothes off before?"
Chapter 171 You want to gamble on my luck?
Seven days later.
Just as Bibi Dong suspected that Xuan Ming might have drowned in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and was about to go down to check on the situation, the calm water finally rippled.
Under the tense gaze of Bibi Dong and Ah Yin, Xuan Ming's three heads slowly emerged from the water.
Their eyes met.
Xuan Ming glanced at Bibi Dong, then looked down at his naked body, and finally looked at the clothes lying on the shore.
"Why don't you all leave for a moment?" Xuan Ming said.
Bibi Dong's face flushed slightly, and she nodded awkwardly before slowly turning her back to him.
Ah Yin pouted, pretended to cover her eyes with her hands, and muttered, "It's not like I haven't seen it before..."
Xuan Ming thought for a moment and decided it was better to be on the safe side. So he manipulated the ice elements on one side of the cold spring, and the ice elements quickly gathered on his body, gradually forming a layer of blue and white ice armor.
"Can't you trust me a little!" Ah Yin put her hand down.
"I've already covered my eyes!"
Xuan Ming glanced at Ah Yin speechlessly, then went ashore and put his clothes on.
Bibi Dong turned around and asked, "How are you feeling?"
"His physical injuries are almost healed," Xuan Ming said.
"His Soul Power is still unstable, and there's a problem with his Martial Soul as well. He'll be fine after resting for a while."
The Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone now possesses terrifying regenerative abilities; with sufficient energy supply, even the most severe injuries can be quickly healed.
He was suppressed by Qian Daoliu's divine Soul Power before; otherwise, with the plant energy gathered by Ah Yin, he could have recovered there, albeit slowly.
"How did you know I was taken away by She Long?" Xuan Ming asked.
Bibi Dong was silent for a moment, then slowly said, " Qian Renxue told me."
" Qian Renxue?" Xuan Ming frowned.
"Has she lost her mind?"
Qian Daoliu wanted to kill him, so Qian Renxue went to Bibi Dong to save him?
Is he planning to play the hero and rescue the damsel in distress, taking advantage of her vulnerability?
One red face, one white face?
But wait a minute, if Bibi Dong is called over, what does that have to do with Qian Renxue?
"He shouldn't be out of his mind," Bibi Dong said.
"At that time, Qian Daoliu truly harbored murderous intent."
At first, she also suspected that this was a scheme conspired by Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu to help Qian Renxue gain Xuan Ming's trust.
However, after seeing the half-dead Xuan Ming and the murderous intent revealed by Qian Daoliu, she gave up the idea.
It's a self-inflicted injury scheme, and Xuan Ming is the one suffering. It's better not to take action; at least it leaves room for maneuver.
But Qian Daoliu not only made a move, he really intended to kill!
If she hadn't taken Qian Renxue hostage at the time, Qian Daoliu would definitely have made a move!
Things have escalated to this point; it's no longer a case of feigning distress.
"Hmm?" Bibi Dong was about to say something when her expression suddenly froze, and she turned to look out of the valley.
"You rest here, I'll go out and take a look."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bibi Dong flashed away.
"They actually found it?" Xuan Ming frowned slightly.
"Don't worry, that old bastard can't do anything to you here," the Ice Dragon King said.
"It's not that I'm worried about safety, it's just that things have become complicated." Xuan Ming sighed.
"If you're worried about Qian Daoliu, I can team up with Bibi Dong and take care of that old bastard right here," the Ice Dragon King said.
"But what if he doesn't fight?" Xuan Ming said.
"You think you can stop a Demigod -Peerless Douluo who doesn't want to fight and only wants to escape?"
"Without absolute certainty, do you think Bibi Dong would join forces with you?"
The Eight-Winged Purple Light Wings have not yet perfectly matched Bibi Dong's power. She is currently only stronger than the Golden Crocodile, but she is definitely not at the level of true Level 99.
Although the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King can unleash Demigod Level power here, it is limited to this valley.
Moreover, Bibi Dong has been plotting in the Spirit Hall for so many years, but her strength and power are still insufficient. If she were to rashly break ties with Qian Daoliu, the Spirit Hall would be thrown into chaos regardless of whether she succeeds or fails. She would not take such a risk.
The current Bibi Dong is not the same as before. She won't act impulsively, nor will she easily trust the Ice Dragon King. She won't make a move unless she's absolutely certain of success.
Moreover, Qian Daoliu is a cautious person; once he senses danger, he will definitely get away immediately.
To forcibly kill a Level 99 Demigod Peerless Douluo, only a true God Level being would have the ability.
Even if Bibi Dong and the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were together, they wouldn't have the power to forcibly keep Qian Daoliu here.
He originally planned to leave after reaching level 60. By then, Qian Renxue would definitely not tolerate him anymore, and things on the Heaven Dou Empire side would be more or less settled, so he could leave with a clear conscience.
Now that things have escalated to this point, it would be better if they didn't take action. Qian Daoliu doesn't want to break ties with Bibi Dong, so at least they can reconcile for a few years. It's just that he'll have to change his stance in the future, just like when he fought Qian Renxue in the Worship Hall and still came to Heaven Dou City Spirit City.
But if they were to make a move, the power of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King would be exposed, and with Qian Daoliu targeting him, how could he possibly give him another chance to enter the Slaughter City?
