There was a chill in her chest, followed by a piercing pain that caused Nan Qiuqiu to lose consciousness for a short time.
Her restraining attribute and soul-destroying power were unable to protect herself. What on earth was going on?
Wait, my annihilation power seems to have taken effect. The property of this spike is...
Ah! It's poison!
These are the most famous hidden weapons and poisons among the Tang Sect's unique skills.
Nan Qiuqiu's heart trembled suddenly. She didn't know the exact toxicity of the poison, but Meng Hongchen's cold poison in this competition left a deep impression on everyone.
Everything happened in a flash, and in just one or two seconds, He Caitou's tall body had cast Nan Qiuqiu in shadow.
His muscular right arm had already accumulated enough strength, and veins bulged on his huge fist as he smashed towards Nan Qiuqiu's pretty face without mercy.
Although Nan Qiuqiu was hit by a hidden weapon in the chest, she did not lose her fighting ability so easily. Her right claw, wrapped in pink mist, also grabbed towards He Caitou.
winter--
After a muffled sound, a pink figure flew backwards. It turned out to be Nan Qiuqiu from Dilongmen.
All the audience couldn't believe that after being approached by a strong attack soul master, there was actually a soul master who was able to repel him with his own physical strength.
And it only took one punch.
Nan Qiuqiu knelt on the ground in a panic. She supported herself with her left hand and tried to stand up again. Her right hand was covering her chest. There was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth and her expression was extremely painful.
The two sharp spikes seemed to be nailed into the flesh and shrank into a ball, making it impossible to pull out. It seemed that they would go deeper with every breath.
"What on earth is this? And how come he is so strong?"
Nan Qiuqiu didn’t have time to think about it. She looked up with a dull gaze, and saw He Caitou’s burly and dark figure, and his emotionless eyes filled with murderous intent.
He clenched his right fist and was about to strike down again.
There was a flash of metallic reflection in the right fist, as if it was... some kind of sharp weapon?
Nan Qiuqiu, who was proud in her heart, would naturally not sit still and wait for death. The soul ring behind her flickered, but a feeling of numbness suddenly swept through her body.
"Is it the poison from that time?" A trace of panic flashed in Nan Qiuqiu's eyes, but her body was too late to resist. She could only watch in despair as He Caitou's fist fell.
At this moment, the referee appeared at the right time and grabbed He Caitou's right arm with one hand.
"The game is over. The fourth match of the individual elimination round. Tang Sect wins."
Although his calm voice announced the defeat of Dilongmen, it made Nan Qiuqiu feel inexplicably relieved.
He Caitou looked at the referee numbly, put away the weapon in his hand and the cannon beside him, and walked to the waiting area under the stage first. He said calmly: "Tangmen changes players."
Seeing that He Caitou didn't care, Nan Qiuqiu gritted her teeth and said, "Stop right there! What's in your hand?"
"Did you just want to kill me?"
The several hidden weapons that He Caitou had just launched were clearly aimed at vital points.
When He Caitou heard her words, he stopped, turned around and looked at her coldly, without answering, he walked off the stage.
The referee said calmly: "With this referee in control, there is no need to worry about hitting too hard."
"You...you..." Nan Qiuqiu suppressed her inner anger, the stabbing pain in her chest, and the numbness all over her body, and forced herself to go back to the waiting area of Dilongmen.
He Caitou returned to the waiting area and sat down, and the people from the Tang Clan came to greet them.
Bei Bei nodded and said, "Cai Tou, you performed very well. Let Nan Nan and Xiao Ya take over next so as to hide the strength of the others."
Tang Ya also had an admiring look on her face: "Cai Tou, I didn't expect that you joined the Tang Sect the latest, but you have the best grasp of the Tang Sect's unique skills, especially the hidden weapons. Add to that my poison, and you won this battle beautifully."
He Caitou forced a smile: "Soul guides and hidden weapons have a lot in common, maybe because of this reason."
Among all the people in the Tang Sect, apart from Tang Ya, He Caitou has the best mastery of hidden weapons, even surpassing Bei Bei.
Perhaps only He Caitou himself knows why he can learn the Tang Sect's unique skills so quickly.
Because he was the only one who, from the very beginning, had the strong intention of learning these things with the purpose of assassinating a certain person or a group of people.
The others continued to watch the game, only He Caitou lowered his head with an indifferent expression.
As the saying goes, the closer you are to home, the more homesick you become. For those who have been away from their hometown for many years, when they return to their hometown after a long absence, the emotions in their hearts will be even more intense.
But for He Caitou, the hatred for his hometown is even stronger.
He originally thought that he could endure for decades and wait until he was strong enough to take revenge on that man.
But when he set foot on the land of Mingdu again, he realized that every moment of waiting to become stronger was torture, and this emotion was clearly evident during his time as an exchange student.
In order to numb himself, he could only immerse himself in crazy training.
But this emotion became even more difficult to suppress after returning to Mingdu for the second time.
Why did Xingluo and Tianhun cancel the assassination plan? Why was Huo Yuhao unwilling to agree to take him infiltrate the palace?
He Caitou urgently needs some way to vent his increasingly suppressed emotions, and the most reasonable and least troublesome way is on the competition stage.
Just at that moment, he really wanted to kill Nan Qiuqiu on the stage.
Anyway, there is no penalty for killing an opponent in a big competition, so it’s all the referee’s fault, right?
On the rostrum, Xu Tianran frowned and asked the girl in palace dress behind him, "Juzi, can you see the extraordinary thing about He Caitou?"
Juzi replied, "Your Majesty, he is a soul master, but his physical fitness is even better than many strength-type soul masters. According to my investigation, when he came to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy as an exchange student three years ago, his physical fitness had reached level 70."
"Now, three years later, he is physically stronger."
Xu Tianran nodded with satisfaction and said, "Juzi, it's really a good idea for me to let you take charge of some of the intelligence work."
"This is one of the reasons why I admire Shrek Academy so much. They are not only a temple of soul masters. Even the soul masters they train have such strong physical qualities."
As he said this, he glanced at Hongchen and said, "Master Hongchen, I wonder if the exchange students you sent to Shrek Academy have learned the body cultivation methods of Shrek Academy?"
Jing Hongchen said nonchalantly, "Your Highness, according to my investigation, Shrek Academy has nothing special about its body-building methods. It is nothing more than running, frog jumps and other exercises, and each meal is accompanied by delicacies made from high-quality soul beast meat. There is no secret."
Xu Tianran narrowed his eyes and said, "Since it is said so simply, then the physical fitness of the members of the Sun and Moon Team must be very good?"
Jing Hongchen frowned slightly and said, "Your Highness, it doesn't mean that with the method of body training, we can definitely cultivate a soul guide with a strong physique. This body training is the same as cultivating soul power and soul guides. It is something that values talent very much."
"I believe that the talented people in our Sun Moon Empire should spend their time and energy on the cultivation of soul guides. As for the cultivation of physical fitness, it will be counterproductive and should not be forced."
On the rostrum, the worshipper who had been staring at He Caitou retracted his gaze, glanced coldly at Jing Hongchen beside Xu Tianran, and joined in the conversation with other ministers.
Chapter 332: One-day Tour of Sun and Moon Palace
Mingdu, the imperial city.
The towering palaces stretch out in an endless stream, which is completely different from the scene outside the imperial city where there are tall buildings everywhere.
The magnificent Sun and Moon Palace has experienced thousands of years of baptism, and it is still magnificent and majestic. Compared with the tall buildings outside that have quite modern styles, it still exudes ancient charm.
It is solemn and dignified, demonstrating the majesty of the Xu family, the rulers of the Sun and Moon Empire since ancient times.
As the pinnacle of power in the Sun-Moon Empire, even the Titled Douluo and Level Nine Soul Masters, who are at the top of the pyramid of the continent's power system, dare not act rashly in the imperial city.
However, now, there is an outsider walking in it, desecrating this historic palace.
Huo Yuhao walked along the path inside the palace without feeling restrained at all.
Beside him, from time to time, there were several palace maids and guards, and even some unknown soul masters and soul instructors passing by. Although the spiritual detection could detect their presence from a distance, Huo Yuhao did not deliberately avoid them, but passed by them calmly.
Thanks to the simulated cover, no one could detect the intruder.
"This Xu family's lair is easier to steal than I thought."
Huo Yuhao sighed in his heart and carefully analyzed the information sent back by the mental detection.
This was not the first time he came to the Sun and Moon Palace, but today was the first time he had the opportunity to explore it in detail and get to know the royal family's background.
The imperial city was very large, and even his spiritual detection with a radius of several kilometers could not cover it all. The Tianhun Palace and Xingluo Palace combined were not as large as the Sun and Moon Palace.
However, in terms of the difficulty of infiltration, the imperial palace is far inferior to Mingde Hall, which is filled with soul detection devices.
At this moment, Xu Tianran was watching the competition in the eastern suburbs with all the civil and military officials, and most of the elite members of the Royal Soul Instructor Corps were also transferred there. The huge palace seemed a little deserted for a while, and this also gave Huo Yuhao an opportunity.
In the palace, the highest level of cultivation among those walking on the streets is only Soul Saint, and there are no trigger-type soul guides placed everywhere like in Mingde Hall, so he does not need to be overly alert at this moment.
Except for one place, there was a large shadow in Huo Yuhao's mind where nothing could be detected.
That place was not far behind the imperial palace, and very close to the bedroom of Emperor Sun and Moon. Initial detection was blocked by an unknown force.
Huo Yuhao has not yet strengthened his mental power output.
There must be experts in the palace. He is currently able to eavesdrop on the low-level Titled Douluo's mental power, which cannot penetrate. The existence inside is very powerful.
Huo Yuhao had a clear goal and walked straight into the main hall where the emperor held court every day. This was the most central location in the entire imperial city.
There was no minister or general in the palace now, only a few guards on duty and patrol.
His steps were steady and without making any sound. He walked slowly up the stairs, step by step, to the dragon throne in the center of the hall.
This is where the Sun and Moon Emperors of all dynasties received the homage of all officials and issued decrees. Now the person who receives the homage every day has changed from the Sun and Moon Emperor to the Crown Prince Xu Tianran.
And now, the guards patrolling around had no idea that someone would secretly walk to the front of the dragon throne while the king was away.
This is extremely disrespectful to Your Majesty and the Crown Prince!
If Xu Tianran knew about this, the narrow-minded prince would probably kill the people who insulted the emperor and the guards who failed to supervise him properly.
Huo Yuhao stood quietly in front of the dragon throne, looking down at the magnificent hall.
This is not only the center of the entire Sun and Moon Imperial City, it is also the center of the entire Mingdu and the center of the entire Sun and Moon Empire.
And now, the person standing in the center is Huo Yuhao.
He silently analyzed the redundant information in the mental detection.
The bedroom of the Sun-Moon Emperor is not difficult to find, but the initial detection is very vague, and there are several powerful auras accompanying him. If you want to detect it clearly, you have to get closer.
"Uh huh huh~"
In the frozen plane, Tian Meng was humming a little tune while manipulating the ice and snow to form the shape he wanted.
In simple terms, it's playing with mud... but solid ice and soft snow are much more malleable materials.
Besides sleeping, this is one of her favorite ways to pass the time.
Tian Meng now had a sudden inspiration and wanted to build a palace as magnificent as the Sun and Moon Palace.
This is a big project.
