164: Xiao Huo's goals and ideas, Long Xingyu's

“It’s the Eternal Melody Demon Hunt Squad!”

As these words were uttered,

from the edge,

a golden light descended from the Knight Temple’s VIP platform, shining on the central area between the Knight Temple and Assassin Temple's contestant lounge area.

Unbeknownst to anyone, six figures had silently appeared there, all clad in Mithril cloaks, their faces obscured.

Countless powerhouses looked towards them at this moment.

A hint of confusion flashed in their eyes.

And then, it turned to shock.

Because, after their Ninth Rank level spiritual power sensed them, there was no change; the aura they perceived, while not retaliating against them,

was a mystery and profundity that remained imperceptible.

Especially Li Zhengzhi.

At this moment, he was even more stunned.

Looking at them, he truly didn't know what to say.

Because during his investigation, he had perfectly sensed it! He couldn't sense anything.

This strange feeling left him very dazed.

One must know, with his spiritual power, even Chen Zidian couldn't evoke such a special change.

And Li Zhengzhi wasn't the only one experiencing this strange sensation.

Many other powerhouses also felt it.

At this moment, all were trembling immensely.

They dared not face them directly.

As for the investigations from these juniors, Xiao Huo wasn't angry.

However, a hint of amusement flickered in his eyes.

And his gaze was directed precisely at Long Xingyu in the Knight Temple.

His gaze was very direct.

And upon seeing this, many powerhouses didn't know what was happening.

Only those within the Knight Temple remained relatively calm and composed.

Because they knew everything.

And seeing Xiao Huo's gaze,

Long Tianyin also smiled, looking at Long Xingyu at the very front, and said, “Starry-Sky, it seems this time Old Ancestor Xiao Huo’s objective is very clear; the opponent he seeks is you.”

“When I was at Knight Sacred Mountain, when Old Xiao’s spiritual power hadn’t fully recovered, I took a small advantage and once defeated him.”

“And now, Hall Master Xiao Huo, under the nourishment of the Eternal Tower, although he hasn’t fully recovered to his peak, he is still capable of unleashing the terrifying strength of a Ninth Rank Eighth Level powerhouse from the past.

He probably intends to reclaim his prestige as an Old Ancestor.”

Long Xingyu smiled; he was very clear about what Xiao Huo was thinking.

It wasn't because he was petty, but because he had accomplished something Xiao Huo hadn't: finding the possibility of becoming a god.

Since that was the case, as the former strongest Punishment Knight, Xiao Huo was inherently a battle maniac. Naturally, his hands were itching to have a true battle with Long Xingyu.

And precisely because of this, Long Xingyu also had similar thoughts.

He wanted to see.

How much of a gap there truly was between him and Xiao Huo, if he couldn't use the Doomsday and Slaughter Throne!

“Then, Brother Xingyu, are you confident? After all, this is the strongest powerhouse in the Temple Alliance throughout history!” Han Zhige asked, looking at Long Xingyu.

“Confident?” Long Xingyu was puzzled, then smiled: “Currently, my cultivation is stuck at the peak of Ninth Rank Sixth Level, and there’s still some time before Ninth Rank Eighth Level. That is to say, purely in terms of cultivation, I have no advantage against Old Xiao.”

“If I can use the power of the Throne of the God of Doom and Slaughter, then who is stronger remains to be seen. But if I can’t use it, the winning probability is probably nine to one; he gets nine, I get one.”

Long Xingyu said calmly.

Currently, he was indeed not Xiao Huo's opponent.

If he successfully broke through to Ninth Rank Seventh Level, then Long Xingyu was confident he could find an opportunity to defeat Xiao Huo without using the god seal throne.

Why?

Because between Ninth Rank Seventh Level and Ninth Rank Sixth Level, similar to Ninth Rank Fourth Level to Ninth Rank Fifth Level, there was a terrifying watershed.

That was a powerful domain skill only acquired at Ninth Rank Seventh Level.

It was Domain Comprehension, which meant 'I Am the Domain,' completely binding oneself with one's domain.

At this point, it would also have another name: Domain Sealing. In this state, one could almost seal the domains of other domain powerhouses. In such a situation, one can imagine its terrifying nature!

However, to have a ten percent chance of defeating Xiao Huo, even under domain restrictions, was already terrifying enough!

Hearing this, a slight hint of excitement flashed in Han Zhige’s eyes: “Then it’s still very possible.”

“According to everything Brother Xingyu told me earlier, Old Ancestor Xiao Huo’s power that restrains you lies in that Domain Comprehension power. Old Ancestor Xiao Huo wouldn’t be so reckless as to fight you with it, which means you still have a very high chance of winning.”

Han Zhige said this.

Although with his personality, he wouldn't be too arrogant, Xiao Huo had stayed at Yulong Pass for a whole year.

During this year, those Mithril Knights might not have seen him many times, so it was normal for them not to understand him.

But Han Zhige was a Divine Seal Knight after all, seeing Xiao Huo as if playing, and also receiving his guidance, so he understood him now.

“Perhaps.”

Long Xingyu smiled, his gaze turning to everything before him.

And behind them,

an elder hidden in Mithril Base Battle Armor, at this moment, also looked at Long Xingyu and Han Zhige with some trepidation, his eyes gleaming with unusual brilliance, wondering what he was thinking at this moment.

And this knight was the former strongest powerhouse in the Knight Temple.

The Divine Knight of Defense and Command, also the elder brother of Alliance Head Yang Haohan, the Starry Sky Knight Yang Haoyu, and also a casual teacher of Long Xingyu.

“I didn’t expect that after thirty years in seclusion, Starry-Sky would have advanced from an Eighth Rank Holy Knight to his current level.”

Yang Haoyu looked at Long Xingyu with complicated eyes.

When he first arrived, Yang Haohan had explained some things to him.

And after hearing everything, even with Yang Haoyu's capabilities, not only was he able to perfectly bring Old Ancestor Xiao Huo out of that place, but he also had the possibility of fighting him.

Especially since he had painstakingly broken through to Ninth Rank Fifth Level by pushing himself to the brink, only to be casually surpassed by him.

Moreover, he had now crossed that level, directly reaching Ninth Rank Sixth Level, and even the peak of Ninth Rank Sixth Level!

This was enough to prove his terrifying ability!

And just now, Yang Haoyu had also conducted a preliminary investigation of Long Xingyu.

The final result of the investigation was also extremely clear.

He was inferior to Long Xingyu.

And not just a little inferior!

It was a gap of over a hundred thousand points!

However, Yang Haoyu felt no trepidation or speculation about this; instead, a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

With their strength, they would generally not be eliminated in the middle stages.

That is to say, it was likely that they would clash with fellow temples later on.

Yang Haoyu thought to himself.

At this moment, his fighting spirit surged, and he also wanted to challenge his casual disciple, Long Xingyu! (End of chapter)
