Peerless: After traveling through time, who would still want to be Tang San's son-in-law?

Chapter 279? ? ?

The inner court students who had been watching the drama unfold couldn't sit still any longer. They could let the previous minor squabbles go, but now that it had escalated to the point of wanting to leave the team, that was a serious problem.

No matter what conflicts arise, leaving the team and acting alone is a major taboo in the Star Dou Great Forest.

As the team leader, Zhang Lexuan was the first to speak:

“Di Rachel, whatever your conflicts may be, don’t let things escalate at this time…”

Upon hearing Zhang Lexuan's voice, Di Ruiqiu paused, turned her head, and said, "Hurry up and catch up, that place is still quite a distance from here."

Huo Yuhao and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Lexuan said helplessly, "Let Di Ruiqiu be the vanguard and advance while maintaining formation!"

"Let's go, Wang Dong. We can resolve any conflicts back at the academy. This isn't a place to act impulsively."

Pulling on Wang Dong, who was still standing there in a daze, Huo Yuhao walked to the center of the group and moved forward with the team.

"Know it."

Wang Dong pouted, and although he was dissatisfied, he still silently followed the group.

That Di Ruiqiu is really something. All she did was not pay attention when she spoke, she didn't scold her or anything, why is she making such a big deal out of this?

It's not really Wang Dong's fault; it's just that Wang Dong's sudden action of grabbing Di Ruiqiu's hand made Di Ruiqiu feel slightly offended.

After all, aside from fighting, the last time someone had physical contact with others was when Elder Xuan pinned them to the ground. In addition, after absorbing Huo Yuhao's memories, he inexplicably picked up some of Huo Yuhao's habits, such as his dislike of physical contact with others.

That's when he suddenly got angry.

……

"Kill--!"

On the chaotic battlefield of the human race, the allied forces from the Sun Moon Empire and the Douluo Kingdom are fighting fiercely.

As for the Douling Empire? Right now, they're still indulging in a life of debauchery and political infighting.

With the widespread use of soul tools, the battlefield is no longer as bloody as it was with cold weapons like swords, axes, and arrows, but it is even more brutal.

An ordinary person could kill a Soul Master who had cultivated for several or even more years with a single blow using a Soul Guidance Ray equipped with a trigger device and a baby bottle. Similarly, a Soul Master could turn hundreds or thousands of people into ashes in an instant with a single fixed-mount Soul Guidance Cannon.

What no one noticed was that every time someone died, a wisp of grayish-white death energy would emerge from the corpse and take away their soul.

On a high ground three thousand meters away from the battlefield, countless fixed-mount soul-guided cannons were set up. This was an ambush that the Sun Moon Empire had planned in advance. As soon as the main combat force of the allied forces arrived at the battlefield, they would launch a full-scale artillery barrage against the allied forces.

Huo Yuhao sat leisurely next to the soul-guided cannon with the best view, observing the war.

"The collected soul power should be enough to support a battle... I wonder how it is on Elder Yi's side. Collecting faith power is much more difficult than here. Anyway, I'm not cut out for missionary work. It's hard on Ye Guyi, though, who's been running all over the continent for missionary work."

"At present, Douluo Continent can only support battles at the level of God Officials. Unless Tang San wants to cause chaos to the point of destruction and personally intervenes to maintain the space of Douluo Continent, it is unlikely that he will personally take action. At most, he can only send in a large number of people... or send out a fragment of his soul..."

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao stretched.

In battles between equals, Huo Yuhao has never been afraid of anyone, not even Tang San, who became a god ten thousand years ago.

Suddenly, Huo Yuhao froze, turning his head to look at the sky not far away.

Suddenly, a blue figure slowly appeared on the horizon.

"They've arrived... I thought I'd have more time to prepare given the time difference, but... it's enough."

"What is that?! Is it a Title Douluo from some side?"

Many people on the battlefield noticed the blue figure in the sky, silently reduced their strength, and prepared to flee at any moment.

If titled Douluo were to fight at such close range, ordinary people like them would have no hope of survival. What would be the point of fighting? Who joins the army without the goal of surviving and gaining merit?

However, what the blue figure said next surprised them.

"Huo Yuhao, you clearly possess the strength of a god-official, yet you not only refuse to ascend to the God Realm, but also secretly interfere in the continental war with your god-official strength, disrupting the balance of the continent, and even murdering serving gods in the God Realm."

"Today, in the name of the Asura God King, I hereby arrest you and bring you to trial by the Divine Realm Committee!"

wow——

Upon hearing the words of the blue-clad figure, everyone present was astonished.

"Huo Yuhao? Isn't that the Spirit Ice Douluo? Wasn't he only given his title a few years ago? How come he's described as having the strength of a god-official in the mouth of some unknown guy? Is the god-official level something above level 99? So the legend from ten thousand years ago was true, gods really do exist!"

A more rational soldier nearby hurriedly said, "Stop talking! Run! The higher-ups said they're after the 'god-level' Huo Yuhao. If we get caught in the crossfire, we're doomed!"

However, the discussions of ordinary people did not have any effect on the two people in the center of the storm. Knowing that he could no longer hide, Huo Yuhao took the initiative to reveal himself and appeared in the air.

"To be honest... my worst-case scenario was being ganged up on by a bunch of priests, but I didn't expect it to be you personally taking action..."

Huo Yuhao stretched his body, mobilized the power within him, and said, "It seems that the restrictions you face in the God Realm are more severe than I imagined. You don't even dare to send too many people to besiege you. You can only mobilize this clone that has been hidden for who knows how long."

The blue figure showed no emotion, simply raising his hand to summon a blood-red greatsword, raising the blade forward with the tip pointing directly at Huo Yuhao.

Just by staring at the tip of the sword, Huo Yuhao felt a slight stinging sensation in his eyes.

"The Asura Divine Sword... but it shouldn't be the real thing, but rather a projection..."

Feeling the stinging pain, Huo Yuhao was not afraid at all; instead, he felt a surge of excitement.

"You know quite a lot. There shouldn't be any information about the Asura God left on the Douluo Continent..."

The blue-clad figure unusually replied to Huo Yuhao with a single sentence.

"I noticed it a long time ago. There's no record of your Asura Godhood in the history of the entire continent. Even Shrek Academy only describes your history of inheriting the Sea God's position. I've been wondering why you did that..."

"Now it seems that this was to make it easier for you to separate your two identities and avoid the dark history of the Asura God Power as a black glove affecting your bright and majestic image as the Sea God."

"Since that's the case, let me see just how strong your Asura God Power really is today!" The blue figure looked at Huo Yuhao indifferently, calculating the time in his mind—in order to avoid the fluctuations of divine power being detected by the God Realm and thus attracting the attention of Destruction, he had to wait for the moment when his main body interfered with the God Realm's detector before making his move. He had to deal with Huo Yuhao in one strike.

Suddenly, the blue figure moved his hands, and a shocking red light rose from behind Tang San. The red light spread and instantly turned the entire sky red. A murderous aura as heavy as mountains of corpses and seas of blood suddenly erupted.

His entire body transformed into a streak of blood-red light, merging into the terrifying red light in the sky, and then transformed into a giant sword that descended from the sky, heading straight for Huo Yuhao's face.

This sword strike was called the Asura Blood Sword by the Asura God! It was a full-force attack that consumed his own Asura bloodline and his very essence, at the cost of igniting it.

This attack was enough to completely deplete the Asura essence contained within this clone.

Despite paying such a high price, the blue-clad figure had only one goal: to kill Huo Yuhao at all costs!
In an instant, it was as if time had stopped. Huo Yuhao watched as the giant red sword drew ever closer, his mind racing with calculations.

At the same time, the battle armor forged from divine metal covered his entire body, and layer upon layer of defensive soul tools were activated. All the defensive measures that Huo Yuhao had prepared over the years were activated at this moment, just to meet this attack.

"boom--"

-

Damn, how did they start fighting so quickly? I wasn't ready at all.

In the undead demiplane, a phantom figure identical to Huo Yuhao cursed under his breath, quickly tossed aside the newly acquired soul, and flashed to the highest building in the undead demiplane.

Inside, millions of spiritual imprints connect to millions of bodies, bathed in healing light, and the computing power of their brains will be at Huo Yuhao's disposal.

However, at this moment, the biological wet array, which was originally running perfectly fine, suddenly became overloaded, and the original life energy replenishment began to be insufficient to offset the consumption caused by the computation.

"Damn, is the main body of that guy going to analyze the Asura Divine Sword? Why is it consuming so much computing power?"

Despite his grumbling, the illusory figure moved quickly, activating backup resources to barely keep the computing unit running.

"This kind of overload operation can't last more than a few minutes. As for the main body, that's all I can do. If I don't receive your messages for a year, I'll have to take over."

"No matter what, one of us has to survive."

-

"As expected of the strongest attack from a god-king..."

In the sky, a cloud of blood mist exploded, and countless metal fragments shot out in all directions.

In the center of the blood mist, Huo Yuhao's body was forcibly severed from his right shoulder to his left waist, barely held together by a tiny bit of skin and flesh at his left waist.

Not to mention the soul bone inside, the Ice Emperor's soul bone, which was 400,000 years old, was severed by this attack. If Huo Yuhao had not already constructed a spiritual energy network to replace his physical meridians, he would not have completely lost control of his lower body.

Even so, the parts eroded by the Asura God Power had already begun to die. If the Asura God Power that had invaded the body had not been sealed off in time, things might have become even more troublesome.

Huo Yuhao frowned slightly, using his telekinesis to control the flying knife to cut away the eroded flesh and blood, and directly called upon the life force of the Blade of Life Guardian to repair his body.

At the same time, with the spare battle armor attached to him, Huo Yuhao seemed to instantly return to the original team appearance. Only the broken, blood-stained fragments of soul tools around him silently testified to the danger of the attack just now.

The blue figure's face showed shock.

It wasn't just because his mental strength had been inexplicably severely damaged, but also because his strongest attack had actually been directly blocked by Huo Yuhao? In fact, it could be said that he hadn't suffered much damage as a result?
Doesn't that mean that if Huo Yuhao also has the strength of a God-King, he could really pose a threat to me?

Thinking of this, the blue figure shook his head violently. This was the Asura Blood Sword, the strongest attack of the strongest God King in the God Realm. It was the attack that killed the Dragon God, the strongest being in the God Realm. Huo Yuhao could not possibly be as relaxed as he appeared.

Yes, Huo Yuhao was definitely faking it!

Thinking of this, the blue figure summoned a trident and gently swung it, creating circles in the air. Clusters of golden clouds transformed into a vast sea of ​​clouds that surged out from behind the blue figure and enveloped Huo Yuhao in layers.

Unpredictable storms, the sea god's signature skill, one of the strongest control abilities in the divine realm.

"I'm not even going to pretend anymore."

Huo Yuhao snorted coldly, raised his hand and waved it, and the water vapor within a radius of 100 kilometers instantly gathered into his hand, turning into a cold blue-white longsword.

A wave of extreme cold instantly spread out from Huo Yuhao.

In the next instant, Huo Yuhao transformed into a beam of icy blue light, with the surrounding extreme cold merging into it, forming a giant sword that descended from the sky and directly pierced towards the Unpredictable Storm released by the Sea God.

The sharp blade paused for a moment upon encountering the golden halo before piercing through it and heading straight for the blue figure behind.

"This is... the Asura Blood Sword?! How is this possible?!"

The blue figure stared in shock at the approaching ice-blue longsword.

This scene looked so familiar; wasn't it the same Shura Blood Sword that he had just used to strike Huo Yuhao?

Although it was unbelievable, the overwhelming sense of threat made Tang San instinctively raise the Trident of the Sea God, trying to block the sharpness of the Asura Blood Sword.

The blue figure was all too familiar with this attack. With its current cultivation level, it was impossible to escape it. It could only rely on the projection of the super artifact to withstand the attack.

A massive burst of energy swept outwards, accompanied by a deafening roar. A streak of light slid down from the sky and crashed heavily onto the ground, creating a huge crater.

"Cough...cough cough!"

Inside the crater, a blue-haired figure braced himself against the ground with one hand while pressing his other hand tightly against a deep wound in his chest, coughing violently as if trying to cough up all the blood from his lungs. Beside him lay a trident broken in two, gradually dissipating.

Tread-tap-

The crisp footsteps drew closer, and an ice-white figure slowly approached. Upon closer inspection, its body surface shimmered with a metallic sheen; it was something resembling an exoskeleton or mecha.

"Tang San, to be honest, from the very beginning I never intended to be your enemy. No matter what your schemes or purposes are, as long as they don't interfere with my life, I can't be bothered with you."

"I don't have any ambitions. I just want to live a leisurely life, eat some good food, go fishing, play games, and if all else fails, I want to marry someone I like and spend my life with them. That's all."

"But you shouldn't have, you absolutely shouldn't have, tested my limits time and time again!"

The blue figure said weakly, "I didn't expect... cough cough... I didn't expect that you would have such power after only breaking through to the god level. If I had known, I should have killed you the moment I found you."
