"The evidence is irrefutable, with witnesses and evidence!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice was like a loud bell, carrying with it unquestionable majesty, and his cold gaze pressed down on Xuan Ming and Bibi Dong like substance.
"Xuan Ming possesses an evil spirit, cultivating by devouring human blood. Such actions are intolerable to Heaven and Earth, and are no different from a corrupted spirit master! According to the laws of the Spirit Hall, his cultivation should be immediately abolished and he should be detained pending trial!"
He paused, then turned to Bibi Dong, whose expression was icy. His tone softened slightly, but it was even more pressing. "Your Holiness, this incident occurred under your rule, and you have a close relationship with Xuan Ming. To avoid suspicion, I request that you temporarily hand over the authority of the Pope to the Elders until the truth is revealed."
"Once the truth is revealed, if you are truly innocent, the Elders' Hall will grant you justice and, at that time, I will return the authority to you."
Once these words were spoken, it was tantamount to openly deposing the Pope!
"Golden Crocodile! How dare you!" Bibi Dong slammed the scepter in her hand, and the terrifying killing god domain almost broke out uncontrollably, but she was locked down by the mountain-like heavy aura of the two priests Qianjun and Jiangmo beside her, making it difficult for her to move.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei's faces changed drastically. Just as they were about to move, the auras of the two Douluos, Demon Bear and Ghost Leopard, wrapped around them like poisonous snakes.
Dugu Bo, who was far away, was firmly locked by the aura of the snake spear and the porcupine, unable to move.
The atmosphere in the entire square was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring, ready to explode at any moment!
At this moment, Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen took a step forward, lightning flashing around him and exploding like thunder. "Elder Golden Crocodile is absolutely right! Such evil spirits must not be tolerated!"
"Besides that, this boy Xuan Ming once trespassed into the forbidden territory of my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect and stole our most precious treasure, which had been guarded for a thousand years. Even more ruthless, he froze my brother Yu Luomian, crippling him! This is a deep blood feud!"
"Today, I, Yu Yuanzhen, on behalf of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect, demand that this boy's cultivation be abolished, that he surrender our sect's most precious treasure, and that he be brought to our sect to await his fate!"
Another leader of the top three sects spoke out, pointing the finger directly at Xuan Ming. The situation suddenly became more unfavorable for Xuan Ming and Bibi Dong!
Ning Fengzhi was extremely anxious. He knew that all of this was a carefully planned conspiracy by Golden Crocodile Douluo, aimed at bringing down Bibi Dong and eliminating Xuan Ming. He had to step in and try to stabilize the situation, or at least prevent it from getting completely out of control.
He stepped forward and spoke loudly, "Elder Golden Crocodile, Sect Master Jade, there are still many doubts in this matter. Isn't it too arbitrary to convict the Pope and the Champion based on the words of just one person? Shouldn't we..."
"Sect Master Ning!" Golden Crocodile Douluo interrupted him rudely, his voice icy cold and carrying a naked warning.
"This is an internal matter of the Spirit Hall, concerning the safety of the continent. The chain of evidence is clear and conclusive! The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would be wise to protect themselves and not... make mistakes!"
He emphasized the last two words, and the powerful pressure surged towards Ning Fengzhi like a tide. Although it was blocked by Sword Douluo Chenxin's cold snort, the threat was already obvious!
Golden Crocodile Douluo looked around the whole place, at the crowd that was stunned into silence by the pressure from the seven Titled Douluos, at Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo with grim expressions, at Yu Xiaogang who looked like he was mad, at Yu Yuanzhen who was thundering, and finally his gaze fell on Xuan Ming and Bibi Dong who were isolated in the center.
The outcome is decided!
Today, we must eliminate these two major threats in one fell swoop and completely return the power of the Spirit Hall to the Elder Hall!
"Palace Guardians!" Golden Crocodile Douluo shouted again, "Capture Xuan Ming! Seal off the Pope's Palace! No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order!"
Just as the palace guards were about to charge towards the platform—
Xuan Ming, who had been silent all this time, finally raised his head.
His gaze was terrifyingly calm as he slowly swept across the righteous Golden Crocodile, the murderous Yu Yuanzhen, the insane and complacent Yu Xiaogang, and finally landed on the icy face of Bibi Dong beside him, and shook his head slightly at her.
Then, he took a step forward, slightly blocking Bibi Dong behind him, facing the surging crowd below and the powerful enemies eyeing him covetously above.
"Are you done?"
His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone, with a heart-pounding calmness.
"You've been putting on a show for so long, and all you have is a useless dog kicked out by its owner, and a cowardly witness who can change his story at any moment?"
He casually glanced at Yu Xiaogang and the person in charge who was shaking like a sieve.
"You want my spirit? You want my life? You want the power of the Pope?"
Xuan Ming's gaze finally settled on Golden Crocodile Douluo and Yu Yuanzhen, and his voice suddenly turned cold:
"Why so much nonsense?"
"Just do it!"
Just as the Palace Guardians were hesitant to move forward due to being shocked by Xuan Ming's extremely arrogant declaration, murderous intent flashed in Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes, and he was about to personally strike with thunder to suppress them—
An extremely bright light suddenly appeared on Xuan Ming's forehead!
A phantom of a dragon head crown with an ancient and majestic shape, as if it was made of ice crystals and lava, emerged out of thin air. It was the Ice and Fire Dragon Crown!
The moment the first crown appeared, two completely opposite yet perfectly integrated auras of extreme cold and extreme heat burst out, rendering Xuan Ming's body into a strange scene of half ice blue and half red!
"Sister Bing."
"Okay, I'll let you experience it first."
The next moment, a dragon soul power that was far more ancient, more vast, and colder than Xuan Ming's own soul power madly rushed into his limbs and bones through the Ice and Fire Dragon Crown!
The surface of Xuan Ming's body was quickly covered with a layer of crystal clear ice-blue dragon scale phantom. The fingertips of his hands became sharp and faintly transformed into the shape of dragon claws. A terrifying pressure that far exceeded that of a Soul Emperor and even surpassed that of an ordinary Titled Douluo swept across like a storm!
The Ice Dragon King's dragon soul was half-possessed! His strength instantly soared to the level of a Titled Douluo!
"What?!" Golden Crocodile Douluo's pupils suddenly shrank, and for the first time, an expression of disbelief and shock appeared on his face!
This kid actually has such a trump card? !
Instantly promoted to Titled Douluo? What kind of bizarre ability is this?!
Alarm bells rang in his heart, and his original plan to take action himself changed instantly.
This power is strange and unpredictable. Let Yu Yuanzhen test its depth first!
"Master Yu! This beast is vicious and stubborn. Please take action to clear our name!" Golden Crocodile Douluo said in a deep voice and kicked the ball directly to Yu Yuanzhen who was eager for revenge.
Yu Yuanzhen could no longer contain himself and roared, "Youngster! Give me your life!"
The fifth soul ring around his body suddenly lit up, and violent blue-purple thunder shot up into the sky like an angry dragon!
He turned into a ray of lightning and rushed straight towards Xuan Ming on the high platform!
The huge blue lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex shadow roared behind him with terrifying power!
"Xuan Ming!" Below the stage, Ning Rongrong was frightened and her face turned pale. She subconsciously wanted to emit the light of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower again, but was held tightly by Zhu Zhuqing. She shook her head at her, her eyes full of worry but powerlessness.
In a battle of this level, their assistance is meaningless.
Dugu Yan bit her lips tightly and dug her nails into her palms. The venom of the green phosphorus snake flowed out uncontrollably, but Ye Lingling beside her gently held down her wrist.
Hu Liena looked at the figure that was fighting against Lei Ting, her red lips slightly parted, and her eyes showed complex emotions.
Facing Yu Yuanzhen who was rushing towards him with the force of thunder, the icy blue light in Xuan Ming's eyes became brighter!
"Ice and Fire Polar Region!"
With him as the center, the power of the extreme cold and extreme heat fields unfolded at the same time, not merging, but forming a strange hedging and distorted force field!
The moment Yu Yuanzhen rushed into this area, he felt that the power of thunder in his body suddenly became sluggish and chaotic, and his speed involuntarily slowed down!
"Freeze!"
Xuan Ming raised his hand and pointed, the Ice and Fire Dragon Crown flashed, and an ice-blue beam of light containing extreme coldness and dragon soul pressure shot out instantly!
Yu Yuanzhen roared and swung out the Thunder Dragon Claw to smash it, but the ice-blue beam was extremely strange, as if it could freeze the energy itself, and instantly froze his Thunder Dragon Claw and half of his arm!
"Break!" Yu Yuan's soul power exploded, shattering the ice, but his expression became even uglier.
However, before he could launch another attack, Xuan Ming's second and third fingers arrived!
The skills of the Ice and Fire Dragon Crown seemed to require no cooldown. Beams of ice-blue light shot out instantly from all sorts of tricky angles, each time accurately catching the moment when Yu Yuan Zhen's old strength had just gone and new strength had not yet been generated, or the node where his soul power was operating!
Crack! Crack!
Despite Yu Yuanzhen's desperate attempts to dodge and block, he was still partially frozen again and again! His arms, shoulder armor, and even his legs were frozen one after another!
Although he could always shatter it quickly, each time he was frozen, his soul power would flow more sluggishly, his movements would become slower, and he looked miserable!
Under the horrified gazes of countless people in the audience, the dignified leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, a level 95 Strong Attack Titled Douluo, was actually beaten by a young man who had just been promoted to the level of Titled Douluo through external forces. With the help of a strange domain and powerful skull skills, he could only defend himself and had no power to fight back! Time and again, he was toyed with by Bingfeng!
"Boy! How dare you humiliate me like this!!" Yu Yuanzhen was completely furious, his rationality swallowed up by endless humiliation and anger!
"Ninth Soul Skill: A True Dragon's Rage, Its Voice Shakes the Sky!"
He looked up to the sky and let out a deafening dragon roar, first the eighth soul ring, then the ninth soul ring shone brightly to the extreme!
The enormous soul power and thunder power poured out without reservation, condensing into nine huge, lifelike thunder dragons above his head that exuded a breath of destruction!
The nine dragons roared, shaking the entire Wuhun City!
The terrifying pressure made countless soul masters tremble!
"Die!" Yu Yuanzhen's face was ferocious, and he pushed his hands forward violently!
Nine thunder dragons bared their fangs and claws, and charged towards Xuan Ming with the momentum to destroy everything!
However, facing this devastating blow, Xuan Ming's mouth curled up into a cold arc of success.
He didn't dodge or evade, but summoned the blood spear again!
"Fifth Soul Skill: Thundergod's Wrath!"
The fifth soul ring flickered, and he did not release lightning attacks, but used himself as a guide to communicate with heaven and earth!
In an instant, the originally clear sky above Wuhun City was suddenly covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder!
A vast divine might suddenly descended! The power of the heavenly tribulation was forcibly activated!
An even more shocking scene occurred. The nine thunder dragons that pounced on Xuan Ming, when they came into contact with the power of the heavenly tribulation, seemed to have met their king. They actually let out a wail, and turned around without Yu Yuanzhen's control, surrounding Xuan Ming. The thunder power on them became even more violent and terrifying under the infusion of the heavenly tribulation!
"How is that possible?!"
Yu Yuanzhen's eyes almost popped out and he was completely speechless!
His ninth soul skill was actually taken away from him again?!
"Give it back to you!" Xuan Ming's cold voice sounded.
He suddenly pointed the blood spear in his hand forward!
The nine terrifying thunder dragons, whose power had been enhanced by the heavenly tribulation and whose might had increased several times, let out earth-shaking dragon roars and counterattacked towards their original master, Yu Yuanzhen, at a speed even faster than when they came!
"No--!!!" Yu Yuanzhen let out a desperate and unwilling roar, desperately mobilizing his soul power to defend himself, but everything happened too fast, and the thunder dragon contained his own power and the even more terrifying power of heavenly tribulation!
Boom boom boom——!!!
Nine thunder dragons slammed into Yu Yuanzhen fiercely!
There erupted a terrifying roar that was enough to tear the eardrums and a blinding flash of lightning!
puff--!
Yu Yuan was madly spitting blood and flew backwards like a broken sack. His body was charred and wrapped in lightning. He fell heavily from the sky to the edge of the square. It was unknown whether he was alive or dead!
The whole place was in dead silence! You could hear a pin drop!
Everyone was stunned by this reversal!
However, Xuan Ming didn't stop! His figure flashed and appeared in front of the seriously injured Yu Yuanzhen like a ghost!
Without any hesitation, the blood spear in his hand stabbed down fiercely with cold murderous intent!
Phew——!
The blood spear accurately pierced Yu Yuanzhen's heart!
The leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen, trembled violently, and the light in his eyes quickly dimmed.
Xuan Ming pulled out the blood spear, letting the blood stain the ground red, and turned around indifferently.
The whole audience was shocked! Complete silence!
