The white-haired old man's " Space Rending Slash," which he was determined to use, vanished without a trace the instant it was about to touch Kong Xuan's neck!
There was no roar of colliding energy, no ripples of space breaking apart, as if the attack had never existed.
"What?! Impossible!!"
The old man gasped in shock upon seeing this, his face filled with disbelief.
But what horrified him even more was that within this spatial domain that he had absolute control over, right in front of Kong Xuan, a figure appeared out of thin air without any warning!
The newcomer wore a bright yellow robe embroidered with the Sun Moon shining brightly, exuding an imposing aura without being angry.
He was tall and imposing, with a face as resolute as a rock, and his tiger-like eyes shone with a sharp light, exuding supreme majesty.
At this moment, those eyes were coldly staring at the white-haired old man, the killing intent in his gaze almost freezing this pure white space!
The old man felt a terrifying pressure, ten or even a hundred times stronger than himself, as if the entire world had collapsed and slammed into his soul!
Super Douluo... Super Douluo even stronger than him!
A thought that filled him with despair surged into his mind uncontrollably.
Behind this suddenly appearing, powerful man in yellow robes, Kong Xuan's relaxed voice rang out at the opportune moment.
"Grandpa, if you had arrived even a second later, I really would have been cut in two."
grandfather?
This title, like a final, heavy blow, shattered all the old man's hopes.
Having decided to take action, he was naturally fully aware of Kong Xuan's identity.
So in an instant, he knew that the person who had appeared in his spatial domain was Kong Deming, the master of the Sun Moon Empire's Worship Hall!
Faced with Kong Deming's gaze, which seemed tangible and could penetrate one's soul, the white-haired old man felt his whole body stiffen, and his blood almost froze.
However, Kong Deming did not immediately attack him. Instead, he turned to look at Kong Xuan and chuckled, "Do you think I don't know your abilities? Even if I'm not here, they can't do anything to you."
He still vividly remembers that earth-shattering attack outside Star Luo City.
The certainty in those words sent a shiver down the spine of the white-haired old man!
He absolutely did not believe that a Limit Douluo would make baseless accusations and boast about his grandson's strength at this moment.
This only proves that Kong Xuan, this seemingly Soul Emperor -level youth, truly possesses a terrifying trump card capable of threatening or even severely injuring Titled Douluo!
Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan smiled and did not deny it.
His composure stemmed from his belief that his grandfather could handle the current predicament.
Given the precedent of Huo Yuhao being ambushed halfway through the journey in the original novel, how could he not be extremely careful about his safety on his return trip?
This matter was top secret, known only to the grandfather and grandson. It was intended as a precaution, but unexpectedly, someone actually dared to run into it.
As for his final life-saving measure, that was reserved for Tang San in the Divine Realm.
Using it on these few Titled Douluo in front of him was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut—a huge waste of talent!
The old man opposite him listened to the grandfather and grandson's conversation, which seemed to ignore everyone else. His heart was filled with turmoil and regret!
If Kong Xuan truly possesses the ability to defeat Titled Douluo, then his talent and threat are ten or even a hundred times more terrifying than he had previously imagined!
If such a monster cannot be eliminated today, it will become a serious problem in the future and may even overturn the structure of the mainland!
He now truly regrets not bringing more Titled Douluo with him; otherwise, things might have taken an unexpected turn.
Now, let alone completing the mission, whether the four of them can even escape from Kong Deming's clutches is entirely uncertain!
After consuming the Immortal Herb that Kong Xuan brought back from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Kong Deming's cultivation level broke through again, and his Soul Power Level had been promoted to Level 97!
Once you reach the Titled Douluo level, the difference between each level is like an insurmountable chasm, especially after Level 95, where each level brings a qualitative change.
Therefore, facing these four enemy Titled Douluo, whose highest level was no more than Level 95, Kong Deming didn't even wear his Battle Armor.
At this moment, with his absolute strength of Level 97, he could easily overwhelm his opponent!
Kong Deming seemed to see through the fear and regret in the other man's heart, and his authoritative gaze fell back on him once more.
"Regret it now? Too late."
"You dare to mess with my grandson! Who gave you the audacity?!"
The story of Kong Deming capturing Xuanzi, a level 98 Super Douluo from Shrek Academy, had already spread throughout the upper echelons of the continent, and the white-haired old man was naturally aware of it.
He knew very well that his Level 95 strength was no match for Kong Deming's Level 97, and even with four people on his side, they had no chance of winning!
Therefore, the moment Kong Deming appeared, all his attention and all his calculations were focused on the only way to survive—escape!
On the surface, he appeared terrified, but in reality, he had already secretly poured his Soul Power into the " Realm Control Orb," frantically calculating the best escape route and timing.
He stared intently at Kong Deming's every move, and just as Kong Deming's gaze swept over the other three people outside the spatial domain, and his aura slightly dispersed...
Now!
A fierce glint flashed in the old man's eyes, and his Eighth Soul Ring suddenly erupted with a blinding light!
The Eighth Soul Skill, Empty Cicada Shadow Escape!
This is his trump card Soul Skill, which can instantly burn a portion of his Soul Power and Divine Power to transform himself into an almost invisible spatial fluctuation, merging into the surrounding spatial turbulence for a random teleportation over extremely long distances that is extremely difficult to track!
"Buzz!"
His figure was violently distorted and blurred, like a reflection in the water.
The next instant, it vanished from Kong Xuan and Kong Deming's sight.
Its speed and the mystery of its process far exceed those of ordinary space jumps.
At the same time, his hurried voice rang out within the area. "Run!"
This reminder stemmed from the last vestige of "comradeship."
But at a deeper level, it might also be a hope that the three of them could desperately try to stop Kong Deming for even a moment, or at least attract his attention, so as to buy him precious time to escape!
"Snort!"
Faced with the old man's decisive escape, Kong Deming was not angry at all; instead, he let out a cold snort full of disdain.
A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, which seemed to pierce through the void.
"Trying to use spatial manipulations in front of me?" His voice was filled with absolute confidence. "If someone like you were to escape from my grasp, then all these years of my life would have been for nothing."
Admittedly, Kong Deming is Soul Engineer, but his Life-Bound Soul Tool, " Silver Moon Divine Light Shield," involves profound spatial mysteries.
To perfect it, he devoted decades to in-depth research on the laws of space. His understanding, control, and application of space have long reached the pinnacle, far surpassing ordinary space-type Titled Douluo!
As soon as he finished speaking, without even making any obvious movement, a slight flash of silver light appeared in his eyes, and not far ahead, the void where the white-haired old man had disappeared using " Empty Cicada Shadow Escape " rippled like a stone thrown into water.
The next moment, to the old man's utter bewilderment, his figure was forcibly "squeezed" out of his escape state by an irresistible spatial force, solidifying and reappearing in the same spot!
"This... how is this possible?!"
The old man was bewildered and horrified. He couldn't understand how his tried-and-true escape technique could be so easily broken, as if he had deliberately run back to the enemy!
This absolute control over spatial power was beyond his comprehension.
