He saw a ravis.h.i.+ng beauty with flowing blue hair, and another person who was covered entirely in metal, emitting an intense golden glow.
They were holding hands as a miraculous glow shone from their bodies. It wasn"t just light that came from their bodies, there was also warmth!
More and more of the bodyguards were standing up by now. All of them turned around and faced Huo Yuhao and w.a.n.g Dong"er, who were both emitting the Sunmoon Radiance.
The White Tiger bodyguards started to kneel down on one knee and expressed their grat.i.tude towards the both of them for giving them a chance to live again. Their eyes were filled with respect and pa.s.sion. In their hearts, the two of them possessed the strength of G.o.ds!
The gold and silver light suddenly became much more glaring. In the next instant, the light withdrew towards the center. When it disappeared, Huo Yuhao and w.a.n.g Dong"er disappeared with it.
At the same time, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu also heard the same calm voice.
"The White Tiger Duke"s crisis has been averted. The Deep Adventure round has ended and the two of you have pa.s.sed."
Everything started to distort and become blurry at this moment as their world seemed to be spinning. Whether it was Huo Yuhao, w.a.n.g Dong"er, Dai Huabin or Zhu Lu, they all entered a weird s.p.a.ce. The calm voice sounded in their ears once again.
The voice said to Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, "The two of you only put in an average performance in the Deep Adventure round, and thus you barely pa.s.sed the round. There won"t be any rewards, but the two of you can enter the last round, the Sincerity Love Querying Great Adventure. I hope that you can pa.s.s the next round."
The light flashed, and Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu disappeared.
The same voice sounded in Huo Yuhao and w.a.n.g Dong"er"s ears. However, they heard different things than Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu had.
"The White Tiger Duke met with danger, and Huo Yuhao was able to use his spiritual power to warn him, as well as to gain his trust using his own abilities. This is an important reason why the two of you pa.s.sed this Deep Adventure round. However, you didn"t use your own abilities to chase the enemies away. Instead, you used external items to do so. As a result, you didn"t pa.s.s the Deep Adventure round with full marks. However, on account of the fact that you saved everyone in time and reduced the number of casualties, I"ll consider it a pa.s.s. Originally, the reward that the two of you were supposed to get was one chance to recover from a critical injury. However, you instead chose to restore everything to normal. As a result, your rewards will be canceled, and your points have become negative. The two of you will need to go through another Deep Adventure round. If you pa.s.s, you can advance to the third round, the True Love Querying Great Adventure. Be prepared, your second Deep Adventure round is about to start!"
Huo Yuhao and w.a.n.g Dong"er still felt as if their world was spinning. They couldn"t see their surroundings clearly. However, they were smiling delightedly at this moment, and they gripped each other"s hands tightly.
They didn"t regret having to go through the Deep Adventure round again. To be able to revive so many loyal soldiers, they felt that it was worth it even if they had to go through several more rounds. Right now, the satisfaction that they felt in their hearts was unrivaled.
As a light flashed, Huo Yuhao and w.a.n.g Dong"er also disappeared.
--------------------------
White light descended from the sky. The White Tiger Duke landed in the valley. He was stunned when he saw his bodyguards standing on the jagged rocks.
At this point, the reinforcements from the base had already arrived. Many strong individuals were here to protect the White Tiger Duke. The Sunmoon Divine Needle was still s.h.i.+ning in the sky. It was a pity that their enemies had already fled far away.
Seeing that most of his subordinates were still alive, the White Tiger Duke was feeling very emotional as he looked at the gold and silver ball in the sky
Who was that? Who was it that helped me and saved me from this crisis? Who exactly was it?
The White Tiger Duke stood there in a daze, and didn"t speak for a long time.
-------
Bei Bei and Xu Sans.h.i.+ were in a rather disastrous situation right now. After they encountered the Radiant City patrol, they had no choice but to use force to charge their way out. They couldn"t possibly explain their ident.i.ties. In addition, they didn"t even look like they came from the Sun Moon Empire.
However, they attracted even more enemies after they charged past the first group of guards.
It was only now that Bei Bei and Xu Sans.h.i.+ realized how terrifying Radiant City was. Even though the surrounding walls were broken and dilapidated, defense-type soul tools were still everywhere. However, the aerial surveillance soul tools were even more terrifying.
The surveillance soul tools weren"t very strong, but they remained hundreds of meters in the air. They were very practical, and were used to follow Xu Sans.h.i.+ and Bei Bei. With these surveillance soul tools to guide them, the Sun Moon Empire"s soldiers were always hot on their trail. Even though the two of them were strong, they were still in peril.
In addition, soul engineers had been deployed to deal with them because they were resisting strongly. Right now, they were still some way off from the western edge of Radiant City.
What left Bei Bei and Xu Sans.h.i.+ even more depressed was that their injuries were starting to influence their abilities.
------
Golden light flashed, and Huo Yuhao and w.a.n.g Dong"er finally felt stable.
It took the two of them took some time to adapt before they stopped feeling dizzy. Huo Yuhao pulled w.a.n.g Dong"er close to him, and subconsciously activated his Spiritual Detection.
Huo Yuhao was surprised by current state of his body.
Earlier, he and w.a.n.g Dong"er had drained themselves to save the White Tiger bodyguards, but right now, he discovered that he was feeling much better. Even his soul power seemed to have experienced an improvement, and his spiritual power had become more refined.
However, Huo Yuhao"s expression suddenly changed greatly. He exclaimed, "Ah!"
"What"s going on?" As he shouted, w.a.n.g Dong"er also became anxious.
Huo Yuhao looked heartbroken as he said, "My Sunmoon Divine Needle is still with the White Tiger Duke. It"s a Cla.s.s 9 soul tool! If the Duskwater Alliance wasn"t trying to poach me, they wouldn"t have asked Xu Tianran to make Ye Yulin give up the Sunmoon Divine Needle."
Huo Yuhao was very clever. During the tournament, he had already guessed the reason why the Starsky Douluo had offered the Sunmoon Divine Needle as a reward for the champion. The tournament was decided with a fight, and the Duskwater Alliance knew how strong Huo Yuhao"s martial soul was. They were trying to use a Cla.s.s 9 soul tool and a Cla.s.s 9 stationary soul cannon sh.e.l.l to bribe him. In fact, it was just another way of boosting the strength of the Holy Ghost Church!
The truth was that their judgment of Huo Yuhao"s abilities was accurate. Even with Ye Guyi"s appearance, Huo Yuhao still managed to attain victory.
As for Ye Guyi, she was in a slightly more pitiful state right now. Huo Yuhao had placed her in his spectral demiplane, and was prepared to release her after he managed to escape danger following the conclusion of the tournament. However, who would have expected the Yin-Yang Love Querying Valley to appear so suddenly, isolating his connection with his spectral demiplane? Ye Guyi had no choice but to wait for a while longer inside.
Of course, Huo Yuhao could guarantee Ye Guyi"s safety. The spectral demiplane was pa.s.sed down from Electrolux to Huo Yuhao. As his teacher, Electrolux had also pa.s.sed him the key to controlling the demiplane. Even though Huo Yuhao couldn"t completely control the demiplane given his lack of abilities, he was still able to draw out a safe region to contain Ye Guyi.
Huo Yuhao"s heart was aching after he lost the Sunmoon Divine Needle! Given his twin martial souls, he should have been able to use the Needle when he obtained eight rings. It was a powerful soul tool that even a Transcendent Douluo was terrified of!
"Are you really heartbroken?" w.a.n.g Dong"er was amused as she looked at him.
Huo Yuhao was stunned, "Am I not supposed to feel this way?"
w.a.n.g Dong"er chortled and hugged his metal arm. She said, "You didn"t give it to an outsider, though."
Huo Yuhao"s expression turned slightly weird. As he recalled what had happened earlier, he suddenly realized that he had started to hate the White Tiger Duke less and less. He had been filled with admiration and respect when he saw how the White Tiger Duke sacrificed his safety for his subordinates.
No, I won"t forgive him! Huo Yuhao forcefully told himself.
However…
He didn"t feel so heartbroken when he realized he had given the Sunmoon Divine Needle to the White Tiger Duke…
Whatever! At least he"s safer with the Needle. That way, he won"t be killed so easily, and he can wait for me to return to exact revenge on him.
As he thought about it from this perspective, Huo Yuhao felt that he had straightened things out. His expression also returned to normal.
At this moment, the calm voice that made Huo Yuhao and w.a.n.g Dong"er jumpy sounded once again, "The Deep Adventure round begins. The topic is… Rescue!"
Another rescue…
However, Huo Yuhao"s expression changed in the next instant.
"The two of you are to the west of Radiant City. Bei Bei and Xu Sans.h.i.+ are trying to break out from this direction. The two of you will be considered to have pa.s.sed this round if you can rescue them from the danger they are currently facing and return to the western mountain. If the two of you fail this mission, the punishment is death! At the same time, the two of them will also die. The Deep Adventure round begins!"
Eldest and third senior"s Deep Adventure round was actually in Radiant City. Radiant City is a very dangerous place to be in right now! Just as Huo Yuhao was horrified, he was also depressed. That was because he hadn"t been given enough information.
He was supposed to rescue them, but he didn"t know their exact location. This meant that they still had to locate them before rescuing them! It was going to be very difficult!
