Frankly speaking, it was still a little difficult to defeat the Celestial King in a direct confrontation. He had already tested it in the previous trial, and the Celestial King's strength was indeed quite amazing. Even a casual attack from him seemed to be an attack from the Law of Mana of the Origin. If Millet's Invulnerability skill couldn't withstand it, then other skills probably wouldn't be able to either. At present, the only person who could block this attack was the one who claimed to be from the future.
If this level of attack could only be blocked by a defensive skill of the same level, Li Huailin had no way of blocking it. That's right, Li Huailin didn't have a defensive skill of the Law rank. He only had two offensive skills of the Law rank, namely the Law of Origin and Dim Light. However, these two offensive skills wouldn't be effective against the Celestial King. The Law of Origin skill was useless, as the Celestial King wouldn't cooperate with him to remove his armor. As for Dim Light … the ability to make the Celestial King stand by his side for five seconds also required the Celestial King's cooperation. Most importantly, the Celestial King was aware of these two abilities, so it would definitely not work.
What was more troublesome was that he still needed to bring Gaimela along to search for the item. He wasn't afraid of dying, but if he couldn't find the item, he would still lose. Currently, Li Huailin only knew that the location was near the Imperial City. He didn't know the exact location, so Gaimela had to be alive. Otherwise, Li Huailin wouldn't be able to find the item within a day, and that would be even more troublesome.
Speaking of the key to victory, Li Huailin subconsciously looked at Bryans. That's right, Bryans' strength was a mystery. Li Huailin wasn't too sure how strong this person was. He hadn't fought seriously before, so Li Huailin didn't know how strong he was. He didn't know how strong he was compared to a Godking. However, the biggest problem with this guy was … He was originally on the Celestial King's side. Now that the Celestial King himself had appeared, would he still stand on his side?
"Gamera." Just as Li Huailin was pondering, the Godking spoke. Of course, this was not the first time Li Huailin had heard the Celestial King speak. The Celestial King's voice was still not loud, but he could hear it clearly even from a distance. It was as if the Celestial King was standing right in front of him and speaking, and the first person the Celestial King addressed was Gamera. "Why did you violate our agreement?"
"Promise?" Li Huailin was also slightly taken aback, and looked at Gamela beside him.
"He found this place. Do you think I can do anything about it?" Gamela said calmly. Of course, he was referring to Li Huailin.
Hearing Gamila's reply, Li Huailin could vaguely guess the situation. Li Huailin didn't know about the agreement between the two, but it was probably that the Celestial King wouldn't take the item away, but he couldn't hand it over to Li Huailin either. That was probably the case. He didn't know how the two came to such an agreement. After all, their strength wasn't equal. He also didn't know what conditions Gamela had in exchange, but it was probably just like that. The problem now was that Li Huailin felt that he might have been tricked by Gamela.
That's right. Li Huailin pondered for a moment. He felt that Gamela's words were a little overstated. He had agreed too easily. Gamela was much more mature than Anna, and should be harder to deal with. However, she had agreed immediately after a few simple words. Thinking about it carefully, it was a little strange.
From the looks of it, her goal was probably to lure out the Celestial King. That's right. After all, she knew that the Celestial King should be paying attention. Since Li Huailin could find this place, the Celestial King should be able to find this place as well. If that was the case, then she could directly say that she wanted to hand the item over to Li Huailin and the others. The Celestial King might appear, and in that case, the two sides would naturally start fighting. As for the outcome of the battle, it would be the same if the Celestial King won. If the Celestial King lost, then he wanted to use Li Huailin to deal with the Celestial King. Wouldn't that solve the problem?
Li Huailin realized this because Gamela didn't seem very nervous when she saw the Celestial King's reaction and replied to his question. In theory, if one was found by an enemy, even if they had helpers by their side, they would still be slightly nervous. However, Gamela was very calm, as if she had already anticipated this situation.
Of course, this still made Li Huailin very unhappy. If he had known this would happen, he would have fed this big sister some medicine. Of course, there was no point in thinking about this now. It was better to deal with the Celestial King first.
Li Huailin directly looked at Bryans. That's right, it was best to see this guy's standpoint. After all, if he helped the Celestial King, then he would be in even more trouble. However, just as Li Huailin looked at Bryans, the Celestial King also looked at Bryans. The conversation between him and Gamela seemed to have ended there. He didn't want to ask anything else.
"Bryans, what are you trying to do?" the Celestial King asked.
"Since I've been discovered, there's nothing I can do about it." Bryans also spread his hands and said, "I've already told you before. All of this is a fixed future. You can't change it. If you insist on going against the flow, the one who will be defeated in the end will definitely be you. Of course, to me, it doesn't matter who I work with. However, I won't mix with a loser. Furthermore, I'm already tired of my previous research. Now that I've found something new and interesting, you can't help me in this aspect. To put it simply, our previous partnership has ended. "
"So you're saying that you want to betray me?" the Celestial King asked. There was no emotion in his tone.
"I've already said it before. We're just partners." Bryans spread his hands and said, "Of course, to put it bluntly, I'm just using you. Now that you're no longer of any value to me, I'm obviously looking for a new target to use."
"Oh?" Li Huailin was a little surprised as he looked at Bryans. The other party really went against him. That's right. Although Bryans seemed to want to break off relations with the Celestial King, if he really wanted to make a move against Li Huailin, he could have caused trouble in the Temple. However, Li Huailin didn't think that the other party would directly rebel. After all, the Celestial King was still very strong. Even if Bryans was optimistic that he would win, he would wait until Li Huailin dealt with the Celestial King. After all, he had shown a lot of goodwill before, and he was useful to Li Huailin. But now, Bryans directly broke off relations with the Celestial King. This was something that Li Huailin didn't expect.
Even so, Li Huailin's suspicion was still relatively heavy, and he also considered the authenticity of Bryans' words. However, after thinking about it, it seemed that there was no need to pretend to join his side to gain his trust. Therefore, there was a high chance that Bryans had really decided to join his side.
Of course, that was a good thing. Li Huailin was worried about what to do. Now that Bryans had come to help him, it meant that Bryans was confident. Yes, Bryans should know the Celestial King's strength. If he couldn't defeat the Celestial King, he definitely wouldn't join Li Huailin's side. He must have some confidence in joining now. At least he would have the strength to fight.
"Hmph." While Li Huailin was still thinking, the Celestial King snorted, interrupting Li Huailin's thoughts. In the next second, Li Huailin saw a golden lightning bolt rushing towards them. This really was the Celestial King's signature skill. Li Huailin felt that the opponent's attack was a bit too fast. This kind of insanely overpowered skill that couldn't be cast was really too shameless. Why didn't he have such a shameless skill?
Li Huailin didn't even have time to react. However, there was someone else faster than Li Huailin. That's right. Bryans seemed to have already guessed the Celestial King's attack. He directly pointed his right hand forward. Although his attack wasn't as big as the Celestial King's, Li Huailin saw the space in front of them distort. The golden lightning bolt that was rushing towards them actually began to twist.
Li Huailin quickly reacted. He also discovered that the Celestial King's attack wasn't aimed at him. Instead, it was aimed at Bryans. Although he and Bryans were standing together, there was still a bit of distance between them. Therefore, the Celestial King's attack was indeed aimed at Bryans.
This … was a little strange. Yes, because Li Huailin had seen the Celestial King's attack methods before. The Celestial King had an even larger AOE skill, just like the full-screen Sunlight Illumination skill that his future self had blocked. Its power was also extremely overpowered. At the very least, the Celestial King had used this skill against his future self. This meant that the Celestial King didn't use a smaller AOE skill to increase his single-target attack power. Then, why did the Celestial King only target Bryans?
Li Huailin pondered for a moment before looking at Gamela beside him. Yes, Gamela was standing right beside him. What Li Huailin thought was that the Celestial King … Could it be that he didn't want to kill Gamela, which was why he used a smaller AOE skill?
Indeed, the Celestial King and Gamela were definitely related. After all, he already knew that if the Celestial King really wanted to touch Gamela, she wouldn't have survived until now. But what was the reason? Could it be that Gamela's death would cause some sort of strange reaction? Li Huailin couldn't guess it. However, although he couldn't guess it, it was a good thing that the Celestial King wouldn't kill Gamela. He was indeed worried that Gamela would die. If that happened, he would truly be in trouble. Since the Celestial King wouldn't take the initiative to attack her, he would have less to worry about.
Shi Feng shifted his attention back to the battlefield. At this moment, the Celestial King's and Bryans' skills were still clashing. He still couldn't see what skill Bryans was using, but the Celestial King's lightning had already twisted into a circle. Li Huailin couldn't tell who had the upper hand. However, Bryans could indeed block the Celestial King's skill.
Just as Shi Feng was thinking this, a large number of magic arrays suddenly appeared around Bryans. Li Huailin saw Bryans' expression change slightly. Clearly, this wasn't the Celestial King's own skill. It was likely the Celestial King's supporting attack. That's right, if a direct attack couldn't be blocked, then another type of magic would be used to attack. This was a very common method. Seeing this situation, Li Huailin pondered for a moment. Then, he ran over to Bryans' side, pulling Gamela along with him.
"Hm?" Gamela was also dumbfounded. She had been pulled by Li Huailin for no apparent reason. It seemed like she couldn't resist. Of course, Li Huailin was also betting on his own judgment. He wasn't confident that he could block the Celestial King's magic, no matter what type it was. Moreover, the Jade Emperor Summoner wasn't here yet. The NPC could really die at a whim. However, Li Huailin was willing to take the gamble. The reason was simple. If the Celestial King really wanted to kill Gamela, Li Huailin believed that he wouldn't be able to stop it. Even if Bryans were present, it would be very difficult for him to protect Gamela. Since that was the case, he might as well take a gamble. If he guessed correctly, he would have a solution.
A second later, Li Huailin's heart finally relaxed. That's right. As Li Huailin pulled Gamela closer to Bryans, the surrounding magic arrays suddenly disappeared. Li Huailin looked at Bryans. The Celestial King also wore a slightly surprised expression.
"So that's how it is." Bryans stared at Li Huailin in shock. When he saw Gamela behind Li Huailin, he suddenly understood what was going on. However, he really didn't know why the Celestial King hadn't killed Gamela. He really didn't know what was going on here. However, Li Huailin had really dared to try. If things really went wrong, it would be troublesome. However, now that he had made the right bet, the Celestial King was in trouble.
"This is a little strange. Who is this woman?" Bryans asked as he looked at the Celestial King.
The Celestial King was clearly at a disadvantage. He silently looked at Bryans.
"But even if you didn't do that, it seems like you can't hold on," Bryans suddenly said. Bryans suddenly said, "I really didn't expect that you would use other types of magic to assist you. However, this proves that you lack confidence. When we fought before, you didn't use such a method. What's wrong? Why don't you want to fight me head-on?"
When Li Huailin heard Bryans' words, he was slightly taken aback. That's right. If he could hold on head-on, he wouldn't need to use support spells to launch sneak attacks. In other words, the Celestial King couldn't beat Bryans head-on? But from what Bryans said, it seemed like the Celestial King had the upper hand …
"Could it be that you were injured?" Bryans suddenly said with a smile.
"So that's how it is." When he said that, Li Huailin suddenly shuddered. Yes, the Celestial King was injured. Now that he thought about it, the Celestial King's actions were very strange. The intruder had clearly left, but the Celestial King didn't appear again. Could it be that the Celestial King was really injured at that time?
