Chapter 313: A Strong Start and a Weak End!
Seeing the White Supreme Lord flee as if avoiding a plague, directly jumping into a spatial crack without wanting to face him, Xiao Ze let his combat energy flow through his fist, dispersing the fragments. He thought maybe he had been too brutal.
He had punched and exploded the head of a six-star Supreme Lord with a single punch...
Xiao Ze could imagine that the White Supreme Lord now probably had a deep fear of him.
Elder Sheng, arriving after the energy storm had somewhat dissipated, saw Xiao Ze alone in the air, with a headless corpse in front of him.
Seeing the state of the Black Supreme Lord's corpse, Elder Sheng couldn't help but shiver.
Elder Sheng knew that even if he faced the Black Supreme Lord, he wasn't sure he could defeat him. However, Xiao Ze had killed the Black Supreme Lord in such a short time, and the White Supreme Lord had fled in terror.
Xiao Ze's combat power amazed Elder Sheng.
Xiao Ze stored the belongings of the Black Supreme Lord and then turned to Elder Sheng.
"Elder Sheng, is there anything you need?"
Elder Sheng smiled sheepishly. "No, I was just worried about you. I didn't expect your combat strength to be so impressive. Facing two six-star Supreme Lords, you fought calmly and even killed one in such a short time."
Elder Sheng's tone was full of admiration and awe.
Xiao Ze smiled slightly. "It was just luck."
Elder Sheng didn't take Xiao Ze's modesty seriously, but seeing that Xiao Ze didn't want to talk more about it, he wisely changed the subject.
"Actually, the team the Hall of Souls sent this time was quite strong. Two Supreme Lords, several respected elders, and numerous guardians from the Hall of Souls. With that strength, they could easily destroy some of the less prepared major forces."
Hearing Elder Sheng's words, Xiao Ze also became serious.
This time he had been able to defeat the Black and White Supreme Lords, but next time he might face a higher-ranking Supreme Lord, perhaps even someone from the soul clan, or a saint-level existence. With his current strength, he could barely survive, but not win.
"It's true. It seems that the Hall of Souls is willing to take serious measures. We must quickly inform the three presidents and form an alliance with other forces."
Xiao Ze spoke seriously, and Elder Sheng nodded in agreement.
Although the Dan Tower had shown a firm attitude before, the Hall of Souls hadn't sent more powerful forces, so the alliance with other forces hadn't been finalized. But the situation was different now. In Ye City alone, two Supreme Lords had appeared.
It was hard to imagine the strength they would face in other important places.
With the energy storm finally dissipated, the people of Ye City could see Xiao Ze and Elder Sheng, as well as the headless corpse of the Black Supreme Lord.
This caused a great commotion. The citizens, seeing that Xiao Ze had killed the members of the Hall of Souls, erupted in cheers and praised him for saving the city.
Xiao Ze looked at Ye City and smiled. Being respected by the people felt good.
He observed the place where the illusory river had been, which had now vanished, leaving only a drop as black as ink and a golden root seemingly fixed in space.
With a flash of spiritual light at his fingertip, Xiao Ze sent a soul force that turned into an illusory spiritual body, absorbing the black drop and then entering the golden root. With a gesture from Xiao Ze, the golden root returned to his hand.
"It seems my assumption was correct. This can use the infinite river to cause great damage to enemies. Too bad the Hall of Souls' elders who died left nothing valuable."
Xiao Ze regretted that the Hall of Souls' elders, all strong fighters, hadn't left any treasures.
"Thus, this heavenly technique loses value. Facing strong enemies, the Apocalyptic Torrent can only stall them. Against enemies of the same level, even if it kills them, I won't get anything..."
In Xiao Ze's mind, the value of the heavenly technique kept decreasing. Although others saw it as a powerful trump card for Xiao Ze, everyone would consider this technique when facing him.
Due to the strength of the team led by the two Supreme Lords, it seemed that the Hall of Souls was really taking the initiative.
Xiao Ze and Elder Sheng discussed and decided not to stay longer in Ye City. They quickly returned to the Dan Tower to report personally to the three presidents.
Hearing the report from Xiao Ze and Elder Sheng, Xuan Kong Zi's expression turned especially grave.
"Then, it's possible that the Hall of Souls is really taking the initiative... Could it be that attacking the Dan Tower is one of their priorities?"
Xuan Kong Zi spoke with resignation. According to the previous analysis, the Hall of Souls shouldn't have enough strength to attack the Dan Tower. But the appearance of two six-star Supreme Lords made Xuan Kong Zi doubt.
"Anyway, we must be fully prepared. The alliance must be formed quickly!"
Xuan Kong Zi spoke seriously and sent to investigate other areas of the Dan region to see if there were attacks from the Hall of Souls.
The result of the investigation surprised the three presidents.
"Except for Ye City, there have been no reports of attacks from Supreme Lords of the Hall of Souls in other places."
"Not just Supreme Lords, even guardians from the Hall of Souls haven't been seen."
"Could it be that the Hall of Souls has given up infiltrating the Dan region?"
The three presidents couldn't understand the Hall of Souls' intentions, but even with the power of the Dan Tower, they couldn't find traces of the Hall of Souls, which seemed to indicate they had completely withdrawn from the Dan region.
"With the recent elimination of the Hall of Souls' teams, the Dan Tower has regained its control over the Dan region, even surpassing it."
"In these circumstances, it's almost impossible for the Hall of Souls to hide completely."
"So, has the Hall of Souls really given up?" Xuan Yi asked in surprise.
She had dealt with the Hall of Souls before and knew that, although they were unpleasant, their power was deep and unfathomable.
"It seems this action from the Hall of Souls had a strong start and a weak end..."
"But it may also be that our firm attitude made the Hall of Souls not want to spend more forces."
The other two presidents nodded, feeling that Xuan Kong Zi was right.
"If the Dan Tower really overcomes this crisis, we should thank Xiao Ze."
Xuan Kong Zi said with a smile, relaxing knowing that the Hall of Souls had withdrawn.
"Of course, I almost want to retire and let Xiao Ze be the president of the Dan Tower right now," Tian Lei Zi added.
Xuan Yi also smiled hearing this, knowing that Tian Lei Zi had high regard for Xiao Ze. If he could, he would probably retire and let Xiao Ze be president.
