Chapter 1298 - Falling Hair Phoenix Is Worse than Chicken
The white clothed man looked at Tang Huan with a bit of surprise, then laughed mockingly, "Little guy, how do you feel about comparing yourself to Gu Jinglei? Or do you think that you, who are currently severely injured, can rely on your so-called "Dao flame" to contend against this king? "
"Injured?"
Tang Huan scoffed, "Who gave you that confidence, to make you think I"m heavily injured?"
In the blink of an eye, he had regained his vigor. The True Essence in his body surged violently, overflowing with a terrifying energy fluctuation, and the Pure Yang Divine Sword, which originally seemed to be powerless to activate, also released a resplendent, condensed, and translucent light. The overflowing Sword Intent roared out, surging back and forth between heaven and earth.
This Tang Huan, looked no different from when she was at her peak.
"Huh?"
The man in white let out a low cry and his expression darkened slightly. His eyes were cold. "Little fellow, bluffing in front of this king is too much!"
"You really think so?"
Tang Huan caressed the sword in her hand, and laughed leisurely: "Do you know, that I have already waited a long time for you to appear? If it wasn"t for the fact that both Gu Lei and I were severely injured, you probably wouldn"t have appeared yet, right? It"s really not easy to put on such a show here. "
When he used the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" to face off against the "Heavenly Heart Bell" of the ancient thunderbolt, an extremely dangerous warning premonition emerged from the depths of Tang Huan"s soul. Inside and outside the city, there were many Heaven"s Will City cultivators who were secretly watching the battle. However, none of them gave Tang Huan the same feeling.
Since a warning sign was coming, Tang Huan naturally would not ignore it.
Not only had his soul fused with a "Intangible Buddha," he had also fused with a G.o.d Creation Crystal. After carefully inspecting the situation, Tang Huan was unable to sense where the danger was coming from. This caused Tang Huan to feel extremely fearful of the danger, and thus, he decided to "destroy both sides" with Gu Jinglei to lure the snake out of its hole.
Gu Jinglei desperately tried to kill Tang Huan, but Tang Huan had to conceal her strength and work hard to share a fair share of strength with Gu Jinglei at the same time. Acting in such a scene would probably be even more tiring than battling two ancient thunder beasts.
Fortunately, he had achieved his goal.
The moment the white clothed man appeared, Tang Huan knew that he was the source of the danger. Sure enough, the white-robed man soon revealed his terrifying strength. Although Gu Jinglei was heavily injured, he wasn"t someone that anyone could kill just because they wanted to. Yet, he had no way to fight back against the white-robed man.
The strength of the man in white was clear from this.
After seeing the white clothed man attack and capturing the aura he had concealed earlier, Tang Huan immediately determined his true ident.i.ty. What made Tang Huan even more surprised was that not only had he escaped from that place, he had even come to the Heaven"s Will City to possess the young city master.
"Acting?"
The man in white narrowed his eyes. His gaze was as sharp as a knife.
Tang Huan said as his gaze grew serious, "Back then, when I encountered you in the "Ancient Cave of the Heavenly King," I could only run away in a sorry state. I did not expect to meet you again so quickly, it was fate."
As he said these words, Tang Huan couldn"t help but sigh a little in his heart.
Back in the Tong Tian Ancient Region, Tang Huan had saved Li s.h.i.+jun and Li Xiang Jun from the cultivators of Heaven"s Will City outside of the "Ancient Cave", and had also absorbed a huge amount of energy from the Ancient Cave. After the shallow layer of repair of the "Illusory Sword Heavenly Palace", Tang Huan could not help but enter the ancient cave.
In the end, he encountered a strange skeleton in the depths of the ancient cave. Luckily, he was able to escape quickly with the help of the G.o.d Creation Crystal. Although he had successfully escaped, Tang Huan was still extremely fearful of the skeleton in the depths of the "Heavenly King"s Ancient Cave".
However, compared to back then, Tang Huan"s strength had increased by many times, and even though Tang Huan was still not completely confident, she was not afraid.
"Speaking of the "Heavenly King"s Ancient Cave", This King would like to thank you."
"If you had not saved someone outside the cave, it would have been impossible for you to attract any Heaven"s Will City cultivators. If you had not absorbed a large amount of energy from the cave, even with the help of this king, those Heaven"s Will City cultivators would not have been able to enter the cave. It is also impossible for this king to possess and leave this place so quickly. In the end, I found a rather decent physical body to exchange for it in this Heaven"s Will City. "
"In that case, I can be considered your benefactor. How would you like me to repay your kindness?"
Tang Huan laughed, combining the memories she got from the souls of the Heaven"s Will City cultivators, she roughly understood what had happened.
Not long after he had left the "Ancient Cave of the Heavenly King", six cultivators from Heavenly Will City had followed him outside. As a result, the six of them entered the cave and, with the help of the skeleton, reached the depths of the cave.
Of course, they weren"t as lucky as Tang Huan.
Of the six people, five were killed and one was possessed by the skeleton. He must have found out about the young city lord"s condition from those six people. That was why he was so moved. After he possessed a body, he snuck into the city and found the young city lord, Gu Xuefeng, and then successfully possessed another body.
"Repayment of grat.i.tude?"
The man in white stared straight at Tang Huan, ridicule surfaced on her incomparably handsome face, "Although this king"s current body is not bad, but compared to yours, I"m still lacking by quite a bit. In the future, when this king returns to the upper realms, I will definitely be able to reclaim the position of Heavenly King, and perhaps even go further, to become an Empyrean. By then, your body will be even more powerful. Kid, this king has brought your body to the supreme realm. Are you satisfied with this repayment? "
"Your Excellency has repaid me with quite a bit of sincerity."
Tang Huan laughed out loud, "Unfortunately, I still prefer to bring my body with me to become a Heavenly King or even a Heavenly King. However, I am extremely interested in your soul. In my opinion, it would be more appropriate to repay you with your soul. "
"You want This King"s soul?"
The white clothed man seemed to be slightly surprised and was slightly stunned. He immediately started laughing loudly, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. "Kid, do you know who this king is?"
"Isn"t he the former Heavenly King of the Upper Realm?"
Tang Huan smiled indifferently, "I have even killed the clone of the Upper Realm Sky Sovereign, let alone a mere former Upper Realm Heavenly King. Do you know what it means to be less feathery than a chicken? No matter how powerful you were in the past, you are now just a mere cultivator from the lower realms. If you still had the strength of the Upper Realm King, you would have appeared a long time ago.
