When Wen Yu opened his eyes again, what he saw was the freshly arrived "reinforcement"...
Although it was called reinforcement, Wen Yu was not sure of Bai's stance—honestly, the appearance of Bai at the Sovereign's Hall at this time could be good or bad for Wen Yu, and it was still up for debate...
He could only silently watch Bai act smugly, his body curled up in a corner, using all his strength to dispel the alien energy within him...
Indeed, the effects produced by the combination of the Sovereign's three passive skills were still gnawing at Wen Yu like a parasite, even though he had died and come back to life!
However, it was clear that this uninvited guest, Bai, had indeed interrupted Wen Yu's supposed fate of certain death...
"I just don't understand, why are you in such a hurry to come and seek death?"
The words that the Sovereign had just spoken lingered in Wen Yu's ears. At this moment, while using his precious origin power to quickly eliminate the alien energy within him, he pricked up his ears, ready to eavesdrop on Bai's response.
It wasn't curiosity; it was just that Wen Yu understood that Bai might be his last lifeline.
However...
"I'm here to kill you!"
Bai said with a grin, seemingly saying things that were out of context, as he placed "Tang Haofei" on the ground. He was slowly dealing with the seals set by the spirit of the demon lord, completely unconcerned about the Sovereign, who was just a stone's throw away.
And the Sovereign merely watched coldly.
Given the Sovereign's skill set and current power, He was not afraid of any challenges!
In His eyes, perhaps the Wen Yu from just now, and even the current Bai, were merely spices in His endless life—these spices had to jump joyfully to taste good...
"Then, how do you plan to kill me?"
The Sovereign asked while crossing four arms in a seemingly harmless gesture, all the while taking a keen interest in the Sealing Sphere containing Tang Haofei, as if observing some cherished toy—one must say, Bai bringing Tang Haofei here was truly perfect for the Sovereign...
By killing Wen Yu and then obtaining Tang Haofei, the candidate to restrain the spirit of the demon lord would be secured again—how perfect!
In the span of a single sentence, Bai had already broken the seal, revealing the sleeping Tang Haofei inside.
Then, Bai reached out his hand, tearing through Tang Haofei's flesh. He removed the Ice Soul left within Tang Haofei while pointing at him and smiling as he spoke.
"Use him."
"He won't be able to kill me."
"How do you know unless you try?"
"Well, since you want to try, then fine, I'll give you a chance... I have to say, it's been a long time since I've encountered something so interesting."
The Sovereign watched with a smile at Bai and the gradually awakening Tang Haofei, then glanced at Wen Yu, who had already dispelled the alien energy and stood up. He slowly moved his shoulders, ready for battle.
Perhaps the Sovereign wouldn't kill Tang Haofei, but today! Right now! Wen Yu and Bai definitely could not take a single step out of the Sovereign's Hall!
And Wen Yu also turned to look at Bai, his face showing clear complexity.
A mental wave quietly transmitted out.
"Old brother, you can't be serious, right?"
"What do you think?"
Seeing the determination hidden beneath Bai's smile, Wen Yu fell silent momentarily before speaking again.
"It's the life and death battle resolution."
"I know... Besides the life and death battle resolution, there's probably no other skill that can match this old dog."
"Then, may I ask what your solution is?"
"I already said, use him!"
Bai lightly patted Tang Haofei, who then slowly opened his eyes, his eyelids twitching.
"Don't forget, He has the life and death battle resolution, and so do we!"
Wen Yu was suddenly silent.
However, deep in his heart, doubts about Tang Haofei arose...
[Can it really be the same?]
...
The darkness gradually receded, and the coldness slowly dissipated. When Tang Haofei opened his eyes, what he saw was no longer the void of the previous layered battlefield but the bright ceiling of the Sovereign's Hall.
