Gong Qi had a certain realization. He was within the domain of the Bloodsoul Temple. The operation of the opponent's power and the corresponding rules had already formed a closed loop. He was fighting in the domain of an enemy Extraordinary.
This was a strategic defeat. The basic starting conditions were already very difficult to change or reverse. Under these circumstances, while enduring the corresponding pressure, he had to plan a corresponding counterattack. He had to start from the tactical details and do his best to seize back the initiative.
Taking the initiative was not the same as charging in and attacking. On the contrary, Gong Qi's attitude was more conservative. The greatest benefit of a conservative attitude was that he could maintain a cool head, restrain his consumption, and do his best to precisely allocate resources in order to deal with the possible changes in the future.
In theory, this should be the case.
However, Gong Qi felt that this wasn't the case after a round of confrontation. On the contrary, the consumption was clearly lower than what he had predicted. The greatest possibility was that the high temperature and high pressure of the domain of the Bloodsoul Temple and the corresponding law environment could form an even stronger suppression on him, creating an even greater consumption.
Moreover, this was the case.
Gong Qi didn't take advantage of the situation to pursue and attack. He stared at Lady Halder, observing the changes in her state.
The strength of the opponent's blood and energy was declining, but her internal cohesion and sharpness didn't decrease. Oh, her blood and energy were replenished from the domain of the Bloodsoul Temple. Was she planning on fighting a protracted battle?
No, that wasn't right. This woman's motives weren't simple at all on the mental level.
Gong Qi spoke half-mockingly and half-probingly, "The body and mind are like blades, the domain is like a furnace, and I'm here to stir up the wind and hammer. Not a bad idea. You want me to coordinate with you?"
"It's not up to you."
"..."
Gong Qi was stupefied again. He didn't know what kind of attitude he should take. Lady Halder was smiling at this time. She completely disregarded her own burning flesh and her damaged state. She pounced forward once more.
She didn't control the domain of the Bloodsoul Temple and instead engaged in a killing style. This sort of unsettled ambition... Did she look down on the First Oblatum of her order?
It was truly absurd to the point where one couldn't laugh!
Gong Qi didn't care about the future of the Bloodflame Order, but why did he have to encounter such an expert who didn't care about fame and position, who didn't even care about life?
For a time, Gong Qi was a bit annoyed from being pestered, but his train of thought was still clear. Luo Nan had set up an ambush for him here, so Luo Nan most likely had a backup plan. After all, Mrs. Halder was barely qualified to be used as a sniper, but she wasn't quite qualified to be the decisive character.
It must be known that the might of the domain of the Bloodsoul Temple was extraordinary. If he continued to delay here, it would be fine if that kid Luo Nan chased after him. But if he waited for Ouyang Chen, Wu Jiong, and the like to take action, then his life would most likely end here.
But then again, if the Transcendents wanted to set up an ambush, why did they have to complicate matters and have Madam Halder take the lead? This was an unnecessary move … The logic behind this was simply too confusing.
Just who was behind Luo Nan?
What kind of dirty tricks were they going to play?
When is he going to use that move?
Gong Qi's thoughts were intertwined and he found it hard to calm down. He was even more unwilling to tangle with Lady Halder. This woman's willpower is commendable, but strength is what matters. She wants to rely on the domain of the Bloodsoul Temple to fight a protracted battle and sharpen her blade? Does she really think my extraordinary domain is just for show?
With a single thought, the curtain unfurled, and smoke filled the air.
The thin smoke was unremarkable within the forge-like domain of the Bloodsoul Temple, but the veins of laws that came from the rank of an Extraordinary were real.
Since Gong Qi's foundation in the Abyss District had been damaged and collapsed, he no longer had the main axis of dispatching. His originally advantageous Extraordinary domain had enormous flaws, so he couldn't help but be cautious. Therefore, he didn't take the initiative to activate his domain to interfere. He just wanted to observe and examine the situation, and then take the initiative to strike later.
Now was his chance.
Even though Gong Qi's own structure of laws was already full of flaws, he could still easily and delightfully destroy them!
Within the domain of the Bloodsoul Temple, the battle circle surrounding the two was inexplicably cool. Visually, the smoke curtain was faintly discernible, but its existence truly disrupted the transmission of energy. It caused a clear difference in temperature between the inside and outside of the curtain.
Of course, it was impossible to completely isolate it. But under the strangulation of the chaotic laws, Gong Qi was a hundred percent certain that he could destroy the stability of the transmission tunnel and disrupt Madam Halder's food supply route. He could pull the rug from under her … Huh?
Madam Halder's qi and blood surged into the heavens. She revealed her sharpness, and a bright light slashed through the air. Unexpectedly, she wasn't affected at all, and her aura flourished even more.
When it was Gong Qi's turn, his mind was in a daze. The Heart Burning Blade really did slash at him on the mental plane. A portion of his spiritual body structure burned and evaporated. Even if he didn't lose his foundation, he was still injured.
"One slash," Madam Halder muttered softly.
Just by looking at her smile, there was no malevolence in battle. Instead, it was like she was playing cards with her best friend during afternoon tea.
"... Very good!"
Gong Qi couldn't care less about this small injury. He activated his Extraordinary domain, the curtain, and retracted it. There was even a greenish-gray stream of energy circulating within it. It almost formed a dark cloud in the lava cavern, forcefully distorting the structure of the Bloodsoul Temple's domain.
He no longer held back in his methods. It was completely a battle between Extraordinaries. Their domains would collide and suppress each other. Originally, he wanted to conserve his strength to deal with an unknown enemy, but the omen on Madam Halder's side wasn't good …
It was rising!
Gong Qi's heart twitched once more. No matter how miraculous the structure of the Bloodsoul Temple's domain was, the interference and distortion of the two domains should have long since messed up the energy transmission tunnel. However, Madam Halder was clearly burning and consuming a large amount of qi and blood at every moment. Yet, her recovery process was uninterrupted, undisturbed, and undiminished.
Although she didn't recover all at once, the steady rhythm of the night rain rising without him realizing it formed a strong contrast with Gong Qi's unrestrained methods and his unstoppable consumption of qi and blood.
There was something fishy going on!
Gong Qi stared at Madam Halder and sensed his own body. Comparing the two, the fuzzy feeling gradually became clearer.
It wasn't the Bloodsoul Temple's domain at work. At the very least, it wasn't the main structure — it was just a cover!
Madam Halder charged forward again without any fear. Every time she slashed out, she burned her qi and blood without holding back. But no matter how she tossed and turned, there would always be a "return" in a timely manner … No, it was an immediate injection. There was no internal or external conduction or transformation process. It was as if her body had a "blood return" device.
However, when Gong Qi eliminated the information interference of the Bloodsoul Temple's domain and compared Madam Halder's "blood recovery" with his own "consumption", he clearly sensed a certain relationship between the ebb and flow of the fluctuations.
Is she drawing my "blood"?
No, she doesn't have the ability to do so. There's still a middle link.
In other words, there might be a middle link. While drawing my blood, the extracted power is converted into "universal energy" and then injected into Madam Halder's body?
What a joke!
Gong Qi found it hard to accept such an absurd guess.
