"Why …" When Duo Ling said that, his hand was pierced through by the beam of light, but he acted as if nothing had happened. In a low voice, he said, "Why would you appear here?"
The moment he said that, his gaze fell to the end of the hall and he saw Fu Ling's figure.
"Aren't you very calculative?" Fu Ling glared at Duo Ling and walked closer. "Why don't you take a guess?"
"You are very strong … but not at the level of the four pillar gods." "Even if you were able to defeat the other Ling Kui alone, it would still take a long time. Furthermore … it's impossible for you to come out unscathed after the battle." When he said this, his expression changed slightly. "So … someone must have helped you."
"You guessed right …" At that moment, another voice rang out and joined their conversation.
Following that, a black stone that was floating in midair appeared before them.
This stone was about three cubic meters in size, and its texture was similar to crystal. It had an irregular shape, and the surface of the stone was dotted with grayish-white patterns.
Even though it looked like an inorganic object, in reality … it was a living thing, and its name was Shapeless Demon.
"So, it's you …" Duo Ling looked at Shapeless Demon, and there was regret in his voice. "No … I should say, it is you."
From Duo Ling's tone and expression, it was clear that … he had been wary of Shapeless Demon for a long time.
Of the Nine Spirits, Shapeless Demon had always been the most mysterious. No one knew the limit of its power, and it never revealed its thoughts.
In the past few years, Duo Ling had put Shapeless Demon in danger many times to test the power of this stone, but every time, Shapeless Demon would use ingenious methods to escape unscathed … it was practically invulnerable.
"After the last Tournament for the Best, you suddenly disappeared." Duo Ling paused for two seconds and then said to Shapeless Demon, "Today, you appear here and stand on Fu Ling's side … Could it be that you are a spy planted by her?"
"Ha …" A condescending laugh came from the floating stone. His voice and tone were like a radio announcer's, warm and pleasant to the ear. "Duo Ling, do not underestimate things you do not understand … You do not have that kind of power and qualification."
Hearing this, the expressions of the Count of Script and Dian Lie King, who were watching from the side, changed.
"You … Who exactly are you …" Snatch Spirit's expression turned serious, "Or should I say … What are you?"
"If you can be crowned king as you wish, you will naturally know," Formless Devil replied. "But now … it is still unknown who will become the new king."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Duo Ling turned his gaze back to Fu Ling. "You think you can compete with me for the throne?"
"What a joke!" Fu Ling replied coldly. "You should … say that to yourself." She strode toward Duo Ling with her head held high and said aggressively, "In terms of strength, I was the number one spirit general under the King of Nether Abyss back then … Who do you think you are? In terms of qualifications, back then, you used politics and schemes to defeat me and imprison me … I admit that. After all, it was my own lack of ability. But now … you've switched sides with the Ghost King, vainly attempting to replace him. Let me ask you … in the entire Death Spirit Kingdom, who would submit to you? "
"Ha … qualifications …" Duo Ling smirked coldly, "You still want to discuss the so-called legitimacy with me? How boring … "He clenched his fists and shouted," To make someone submit, the most reliable method is power! "
"Then …" Fu Ling continued, "Let's have a contest of power."
"Humph …" Duo Ling was still smirking coldly, "Fu Ling … after so many years, how come you haven't improved at all?" He opened his arms and gestured at the four people around him. "This world … is a world where the winner is king. The process and method are explained by the winner … Why should I give up the advantageous situation and have a one-on-one, duel with you?"
"Because …" At this time, Formless Devil spoke, "This is Feng Bujue's idea."
"What … did you say?" That name seemed to have magic, causing Duo Ling's expression to change.
"Did he not make it clear enough?" At this moment, Dianli King, who was standing behind Duo Ling, suddenly added in a cold tone.
"Hahaha …" The Count of Script laughed. "You … are too young …" He shook his head and said to Duo Ling, "You have both shrewdness and ambition, but … you are not experienced and thorough enough."
"What do you mean? What do you mean by that! " Seizing Soul's voice instinctively rose, because an emotion called "fear" was faintly rising in his heart.
"You still don't understand?" Formless Devil said, "Why would I appear on the battlefield between Fu Ling and the Spirit Kui? Who else would be able to tell me this information in advance? "
Hearing that, Duo Ling's mind buzzed, and a knot of resentment formed in his chest.
"In other words …" At this moment, Taliomu maintained his composure. He used his usual, eerie tone to continue, "When Feng Bujue set up the trap for us to surround King You, he also set up another trap outside this one …" Then, he turned to the Count of Script. "Elder Script … you and King Huo are involved in this as well, right?"
"That's right," the Count of Script replied casually. "Feng Bujue's arrangement … we all knew about it beforehand. On one hand, he had Soul-Snatching come up with the plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and on the other hand … he had Formless Demon hide in the dark. After Soul-Snatching left the battlefield, she would lend Fu Ling a hand." He stroked his beard and smiled. The Count of Script now looked like an old sorcerer with white hair and a long beard. He turned to Duo Ling. "Haha … do you think it's that easy to replace the position of the four pillars? Duo Ling, on your path to being crowned king … Fu Ling is an unavoidable obstacle that you have to cross. You have to cross it yourself. "
"Alright, let's not waste any more time … There are seven of us here. If we really want to fight, it'll be the three of you from Phantom Demon Church against the four of us. Think about it …" Two seconds later, Dianyao King continued, "Duo Ling, what Feng Bujue means is … whoever wins between you and Fu Ling will be crowned king. You said it yourself. To make someone submit, the most reliable method is power. Then … use your power to carve out a path for the future. "
"Damn it …" At this moment, Duo Ling was shaking, and he was furious. "Feng … you tricked me …"
"That's enough. Don't look like you're admitting defeat before the fight even starts." Sam Montier then gave his ally a fair warning. "Feng Bujue's method … has some logic to it." As he said that, he retreated to the side. "It's not that easy to replace a god … A position that is bought without a corresponding price usually won't last long."
"Hah … you have a point." Taliohm made his stance clear. "Duo Ling, will you become an existence that surpasses us or will you perish here … let us witness it together."
