The familiar fusion of soul power and just a simple physical contact made Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiuer feel a strong wave of energy flowing through their bodies at the same time.
The flow rate of these soul powers is getting faster and faster, and they can't wait to burst out together in a highly destructive way.
And in more ways than one.
Huo Yuhao knew that this was a sign that he could perform martial soul fusion skills, and his martial soul might be 100% compatible with Huo Qiuer's.
However, he still doesn't know what the martial soul fusion skill is, and there is no time or condition for them to test the new soul skill.
The good news is that he and Huo Qiu'er are both in peak condition now. I don't know how powerful the soul fusion skills of the two soul emperors can be.
Huo Yuhao vaguely remembered that during the Shrek exchange, after Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen both broke through the Soul Emperor, they reported their situation to Jing Hongchen in a routine exchange of letters.
He mentioned in the letter that after breaking through the Soul Emperor, the martial soul fusion skill Hongchen attachment with Meng Hongchen would be able to overwhelm the powerful Soul Saints in the true form of the martial soul, and even rival the powerful Soul Douluo.
With this comparison, Huo Yuhao had a similar estimate of the power of his and Huo Qiuer's unknown martial soul fusion skills.
This should be the strongest force they can unleash at present, and they can only make a desperate move.
There are only two ways before them. If they don't go or die, they can only choose to fight hard. Even if the opponent is a titled Douluo, they can only bite the bullet.
However, just as the two were about to leave, the plain voice rang again.
"Tip: The victory condition of this assessment is only to kill the target, and the failure condition is only the death of one of the four assessors. There is no time limit."
This prompt sounded at the right time, and the two people who had already decided to fight against the odds were stunned for a moment.
Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes.
This reminder is really thought-provoking. Both the content and the timing of the reminder are subtle, and there is a strong purpose behind it.
There is no time limit, which means that there is no need for them to risk a life-and-death fight with the Five Poison Douluo now.
In front of him, there was an additional road to life on the fork in the road leading to death.
Only then did Huo Yuhao realize that he had also fallen into a strange thinking circle. It seemed that he had misunderstood the plain voice.
The other party didn't want to force him to fight the Five Poison Douluo right now. This reminder was a hint that they had other options.
Huo Qiuer frowned and said, "Since there is no time limit, do you want to... outwit me?"
Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "Well, let's use a delaying tactic to deceive the Five Poison Douluo away, and then look for a suitable opportunity."
Then it will be much simpler all of a sudden.
Huo Yuhao's expression gradually relaxed, and he had already thought of a solution in his mind.
It's very simple, just keep cheating.
Using his identity as the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Cult, he even pretended to be the leader of the cult, Zhong Liwu, and ordered him to leave the Mingdou Mountains in front of the Five Poison Douluo.
After that, I thought about whether I could kill someone with a borrowed knife, or use other methods to weaken the Five Poison Douluo's power before launching a sneak attack.
The plain voice seemed to have seen through his thoughts and said again:
"It is forbidden to use opportunistic methods, and it is forbidden to reveal your identity and the information told to you by the deep adventure to others. You must rely on your own strength to kill the target through combat."
Huo Yuhao's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard this.
"Deep adventure is meant to test your strength and courage. Previously, you used opportunistic methods to violate the original intention of deep adventure, so you have to start a new deep adventure again."
"If we use trickery again, all examiners will die."
The plain voice remained indifferent.
Huo Yuhao looked at the sky with a puzzled face, wondering why it was blocking one of his more feasible paths.
In this case, why did the other party emphasize the unlimited time condition?
"You only have one hour. If you fail to kill the target within one hour, all examiners will be teleported back to this valley."
"You will have ten years of preparation time in this valley. Every ten years, you will get another opportunity to continue the in-depth adventure and kill the target."
"Whenever you kill the target, you will pass the test. If the target dies due to other reasons, or is not successfully killed within a hundred years, you will automatically pass the test."
The plain voice said a way to survive.
Huo Yuhao's slightly soothed expression turned extremely cold again. It turned out that this was what he meant.
He took back what he just said, he was wrong.
A plain voice is not a good person, and its evil taste is stronger than Huo Yuhao imagined.
Now that the right to speak and explain is completely in the hands of the other party, it has to directly fight against the Five Poison Douluo. It is impossible to outwit them.
But the plain voice also showed them another way to survive.
That is to choose to give up temporarily, find Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu who are also still in the assessment, hide for an hour and then return to the valley to practice for ten years.
Ten years is enough for them to grow to the point where they can fight against Titled Douluo. If they are still not sure after ten years, there are still twenty, thirty years...
The chill in Huo Yuhao's eyes grew stronger and stronger.
What are the consequences of choosing such a path?
He was even forbidden by the plain voice to reveal the existence of the Five Poison Douluo to Duke White Tiger.
With this choice, he could only sit back and watch the Five Poison Douluo complete the secret method, and wait for him to use corpse poison to kill all the White Tiger guards and White Tiger Duke Dai Hao.
Although Huo Yuhao didn't have much affection for Dai Hao in his heart, he wasn't so cold-blooded either.
He vaguely guessed the purpose of that plain voice.
From the moment he entered the secret realm, the voice had been forcing him to enter one moral dilemma after another and make choices.
Should I choose to fight to the death now, or survive for ten years?
If he chooses to live and wait for the next ten years, there is still plenty of time, but if he chooses to stop all this, there will be no time for him to continue to be in a daze.
"Huo Qiu'er." Huo Yuhao asked calmly, "What is your choice?"
Huo Qiuer snorted coldly: "I don't have the patience to wait for the next ten years."
"Then come on."
Huo Yuhao looked toward the northeast with cold eyes, but the coldness in his eyes was not just for the powerful enemy he was about to face.
"Fight against the odds, or die if you don't win!"
…
Within the Sun Moon Empire, Xing Luo and people from various major sects were using flying soul guides to slowly approach the Ming Dou Mountains.
"Your Highness, you can already see the outline of the Mingdou Mountains." Protector Douluo Cheng Gang concentrated his soul power in his eyes, looked into the distance, and asked Xu Jiujiu in a deep voice, "It's time for us to land, in order to avoid being attacked by the Sun and Moon Empire." The border guards discovered it.”
Xu Jiujiu nodded: "Okay, be careful. The sun and moon will definitely intercept us at the border. Everyone is ready to fight."
"Duke White Tiger has already arrived at the Mingdou Mountains to assist us. Everyone will be able to return to Star Luo safely."
As soon as these words came out, everyone felt a sense of joy, and the fatigue from the continuous rush was wiped away from their bodies, and they landed on the ground.
Not daring to be careless for a long time, he ordered: "Everyone should rest for a while while the seniors go to check the border situation."
The three Douluo including Cheng Gang first flew into the sky to check, and then returned to the team after a quarter of an hour.
"Senior Cheng Gang, how is the situation at the border?" Xu Jiujiu asked hurriedly.
Cheng Gang said in a surprised tone: "It's strange. Not long ago, a soul engineer group from the border guard flew towards Mingdu. If I read it correctly, there were even a lot of titled Douluo auras in it. "
"I don't know why they suddenly left the border, but now the Sun and Moon Border Guards shouldn't be able to intercept us."
"Um?"
After being stunned for a long time, he stood and looked towards the Mingdou Mountains.
The breeze blew slowly towards my face, and the slight sound of the wind seemed to carry the faint roar of tigers and dragons.
…
In the Mingdou Mountains, there are rugged rocks and little vegetation. White Tiger Duke Dai Hao is leading a White Tiger bodyguard regiment to be stationed on a higher cliff. From here, the Sun and Moon Empire can be seen from a distance.
It is condescending, has a wide field of vision, and is blocked by a branch nearby, making it difficult to be hit by the long-range soul guidance device of the Sun and Moon Empire.
Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger rode a handsome white tiger colt and stood on the cliff, using a telescope to look at the direction of the sun and moon. Behind him were a group of white tiger guards riding dragon-scale war horses and wearing white armor.
He has been waiting here for several days to help Xu Jiujiu and others safely return to Star Luo territory.
Duke White Tiger has now broken through the realm of Titled Douluo, inherited the title inherited from White Tiger Douluo for ten thousand years, and also serves as the commander-in-chief of the three armies. He is already the most important minister of the Star Luo Empire's military.
Dai Hao said nothing and remained alert. The boring waiting did not wear away his patience.
In the first team of White Tiger Guards behind him, there were two figures whose attire was the same as the others, but their eyes were different.
These two people are Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu.
They didn't know how that plain voice was able to move them here from Mingdu, thousands of miles away, and also allowed them to disguise themselves as White Tiger's personal guards.
The two only knew that they were on an in-depth adventure to support Xu Jiujiu and others, and they could not reveal their identities to others.
If you fail the assessment or violate the requirements of the plain voice, you will die.
Dai Huabin looked at Dai Hao who was facing the front with a complicated expression, wondering if he could surpass his eldest brother in the future and become the next White Tiger Duke.
Zhu Lu looked at Dai Huabin and wanted to tell him that it didn't matter even if he was not the next White Tiger Duke.
Suddenly, that plain voice sounded in their ears at the same time.
"In-depth adventure changes, assessment question: kill."
"That's where the Five Poison Douluo is. Your mission is to kill the Five Poison Douluo together with Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiu'er."
"The kill is successful and the in-depth assessment is passed. If any one of the assessors dies, or if the assessment-related content is revealed to others, the assessment fails and all assessors die."
"You can also choose to give up the in-depth adventure, return to Bengu after an hour, and continue the in-depth adventure ten years later."
The two of them were stunned, not expecting that the assessment questions suddenly changed.
Moreover, Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiuer, who were unknown where they were, were conducting the assessment together with them.
"Five Poison Douluo? Do you want us to face the Titled Douluo directly?"
Dai Huabin subconsciously wanted to exclaim after hearing the new content of Deep Adventure, but was choked by a mysterious force and couldn't make any sound at all.
A beam of light fell from the sky in the southwest direction like thunder on the ground.
"hiss……"
The white tiger horse under Duke White Tiger's crotch raised its front legs and roared in that direction.
Dai Hao frowned slightly. He did not think that the light was thunder and lightning in nature. He shouted behind him: "The first team, send twenty people to patrol."
He also wanted to sit here and wait for Xu Jiujiu and others who might come at any time, and did not go to check it in person.
"yes!"
Twenty of the highly disciplined White Tiger guards came out in an instant, riding dragon-scaled horses towards the thundering direction.
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were also in the queue.
Twenty white tiger guards lined up in neat rows of five and six and rode towards it.
The expressions of Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu have turned livid.
These White Tiger personal guards are only second to fourth level soul masters. How could they be the opponents of the mission target Five Poison Douluo?
He wanted to stop the others loudly, or tighten the reins in his hands, but he couldn't speak, and the reins in his hands were also heavy. Even with the Soul Emperor cultivation level, he couldn't pull the slightest bit, and the dragon-scaled war horse under his crotch couldn't pull at all. Follow his orders.
Soon, twenty white tiger guards had already rushed out of the mountains for several miles.
Deep in the Mingdou Mountains, on the rugged land, a brown viper with a pointed head was slowly crawling in a zigzag pattern on the ground with a similar color to its body.
This viper's cultivation level was only ten years old, and it didn't even have any attributes. It relied on its poison to hunt down some small spirit beasts.
From time to time, it spits out letters, searching for the scent of prey in the air.
Suddenly, the sharp-headed viper's body swayed and disappeared.
Not far away, a strange old man in green robes was standing in front of a pile of soul beast corpses, holding the slender body of the viper in his right hand, and the triangular snake head had been bitten off by him, chewing it with relish. With.
The viper's body was thrown away casually. The headless snake body was still twitching and struggling on the ground, but it was not completely dead.
After swallowing the viper's head, the old man murmured to himself.
"It's not even a snack. The snake venom doesn't improve me much."
This person is none other than the Five Poison Douluo of the Holy Spirit Sect.
Ever since he became an evil soul master and took corpse poison as his main training direction, other poisons had less and less effect on him.
In front of him, there were piled the corpses of some recently killed soul beasts from the Mingdou Mountains. A green mist slowly formed, but quickly dissipated under the blowing of the valley wind.
"These soul beasts can't produce very strong corpse poison at all. I still need human corpses."
The Five Poison Douluo sighed, and then a strange smile appeared on his face, looking towards the realm of the sun and the moon.
War is always accompanied by a large number of corpses. The more corpses, the stronger the corpse poison.
No evil soul master would be unmoved by the army of corpses. Five Poison Douluo volunteered to come to the Ming Dou border to intercept Xing Luo and others.
Soon, a fierce conflict will break out here, and there will be countless soldiers, soul masters, and even the corpses of titled Douluo. It will be a gluttonous feast for him.
Five Poison Douluo couldn't wait any longer.
Compared with going all out and taking risks to find powerful poisonous soul beasts or treasures of heaven and earth, obtaining corpse poison is too simple and easy.
After enjoying such a simple upgrade path, you will no longer be willing to endure the slow speed.
"I really can't wait, hehe... what is that?"
A bright light flashed in the sky, as if coming towards him, but after the light disappeared, nothing happened.
He frowned and didn't take it to heart. He looked at the mountain range with a strange smile.
"They must be from Xingluo. I'll use you to make corpse poison first."
…
Finally, Dai Huabin felt that the power that restrained him from speaking disappeared. He was overjoyed. Just as he was about to shout out orders to others, a pressure suddenly approached quickly in front of the queue of twenty White Tiger guards.
Dai Huabin trembled all over, pushed Zhu Lu beside him, and fell to the ground with her, rolling far away on the gravel-strewn ground.
"Enemy attack... ah -" One of the White Tiger guards was about to warn the others when he suddenly screamed and fell to the ground together with his horse.
He grabbed his neck with both hands, his expression was extremely painful, and a green mist slowly floated out from his mouth and nose. In less than ten seconds, he and the war horse were both dead.
Not only him, but all the White Tiger guards except Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu fell silent within a few seconds.
"asshole!"
Seeing such a tragic scene, Dai Huabin's first reaction was not fear, but anger.
He seemed to understand why the force no longer prevented him from speaking, because no one else could hear him.
This anger even exceeded the fear of death, making Dai Huabin forget the horror of deep adventure and titled Douluo.
The White Tiger guards are not just ordinary soldiers, the White Tiger lineage has a special and deep relationship with them. A total of eighteen White Tiger guards died in front of him, but he could only watch helplessly. How could he not become furious?
He glared at the Five Poison Douluo in front of him, with only one thought in his mind, which was to make the person in front of him pay with his blood.
"Huh? I didn't expect there to be a Soul Emperor and Soul King in Xing Luo's army?" Five Poison Douluo was a little surprised that two of them avoided his corpse poison attack.
"It just so happens that a more powerful corpse can help me generate more powerful corpse poison!"
The Five Poison Douluo laughed loudly, and the green mist floating on the white tiger guard's body suddenly condensed into a ball and attacked Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu against the valley wind.
A familiar voice sounded in the minds of Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu at the same time.
"Hua Bin, Zhu Lu, use the Netherworld White Tiger, believe me!"
It's Huo Yuhao!
As the sound rang out, the surrounding scene instantly became extremely clear.
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were stunned at the same time, but there was no time for them to think about it. They nodded in understanding and hugged each other.
"Roar--"
A strong white light flashed, and a huge white tiger appeared from the sky, roaring towards the poisonous mist.
The Netherworld White Tiger had no majestic demeanor at all at this moment, and there was only endless anger in its eyes.
"Martial spirit fusion skill? Humph, you are overestimating your capabilities." Five Poison Douluo was a little surprised, but he didn't think they would be his corpse poison's opponents.
However, in the next second, the green poisonous mist dissipated.
The Five Poison Douluo was so surprised that he stood stunned on the spot. He could not believe that his corpse poison had dissipated without a trace in an instant.
On the corpses of the White Tiger guards on the ground, the green mist that originally represented corpse poison was now replaced by a gray-white light.
Five Poison Douluo frowned slightly. Although he didn't know why the corpse poison dissipated, even if there was no corpse poison, he was not afraid of the Netherworld White Tiger.
No matter how much he doesn't cultivate his physique, he is still a titled Douluo, and cannot be defeated easily by the Soul Emperor and Soul King's martial soul fusion skills.
When he flipped his right hand, he was about to strike out with a palm that was also highly poisonous.
"Ouch——"
Another roar sounded, but it came not from the mouth of the Netherworld White Tiger in front of Five Poison Douluo, but from the right side.
This sound was more like a dragon's roar, deeper and louder than the powerful and domineering tiger's roar.
Five Poison Douluo looked out of the corner of his eye.
It was a circling golden divine dragon, with equally angry vertical eyes, attacking him in an encirclement manner with the Netherworld White Tiger.
Under the golden dragon, there were two somewhat similar figures. They were Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiu'er.
"Dragons of dragons and tigers!"
The dragon's roar and the tiger's roar sounded together, deafening.
