Chapter 388 A Last Stand(1/2)
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 very destructive way.
And there's more than one way.
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 Qiu'er's.
However, he still doesn't know what the martial soul fusion skill is, and there is no time and condition for them to test the new soul skill now.
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, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen reported their situations to Jing Hongchen in a routine exchange of letters after they both broke through to the Soul Emperor.
He mentioned in the letter that after breaking through the Soul Emperor, the martial soul fusion skill Hongchen Juanlian with Meng Hongchen could overpower the powerful Soul Saints in the true form of the martial soul, and could 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, so 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 dull 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 fallen into a strange thinking circle unknowingly. It seemed that he had misunderstood Ping Dan's 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... outsmart 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 first, and then launch a sneak attack.
Pingtan's 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 in-depth adventure to others. You must rely on your own strength to kill the target through combat."
Huo Yuhao suddenly shrank 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 this trick again, all examiners will die."
The plain voice was still cold.
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 calm voice spoke of a way to survive.
Huo Yuhao's slightly soothed expression turned extremely cold again. It turned out that this was what the time limit meant.
He takes back what he just said, he was wrong.
A mediocre 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 it.
But the calm 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 will be 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 from revealing the existence of the Five Poison Douluo to Duke White Tiger.
With this choice, we can 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 the dull 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?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Huo Qiuer snorted: "I don't have the patience to wait for the next ten years."
"Then come."
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 to high altitude 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 stop us."
"Um?"
I was stunned for a long time, standing there and looking 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 less likely to be hit by the Sun and Moon Empire's long-range soul guidance devices.
Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger rode a handsome white tiger colt, standing on the cliff, using a telescope to look at the direction of the sun and the moon. Behind him were a group of white tiger guards riding dragon-scale 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 in 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 calm 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 for Xu Jiujiu and others, and they could not reveal their identities to others.
If you fail the assessment or violate the requirements of Ping Dan Voice, you will have no choice but to die.
To be continued...
