Chapter 92 The War Begins

The moment he stepped into the Pope's Palace, Xia Bai felt a solemnity and majesty that was very different from the outside world.

This is the core of the Spirit Hall's power. Every brick and tile, every pillar and beam carries hundreds of years of glory and splendor.

Bibi Dong turned her head, her eyes were deep, like the brightest stars in the night sky, quietly falling on Xia Bai.

"I'll give you one last chance. Are you willing to submit to my Spirit Hall?"

Hearing this, Xia Bai raised a meaningful smile and shook his head gently. His calm demeanor was like the catkins in the breeze of a summer afternoon, floating and unrestrained.

"Your Holiness, you misunderstood. My purpose for coming here is simple. I just want to receive the reward for this competition."

His words were calm and straightforward, without a trace of fear or hesitation, as if he was stating a very common fact.

When Bibi Dong heard this, a hint of imperceptible disappointment flashed across her beautiful eyes.

She knew very well that Xia Bai's potential and strength far exceeded that of ordinary people. If she could recruit him for her own use, it would undoubtedly add a rare and powerful ally to the Spirit Hall.

But Xia Bai's answer made her realize that this extravagant hope had been shattered.

She sighed softly: "What a pity."

There was a hint of regret in Bibi Dong's words. She valued talent the most.

As the two were talking, the atmosphere in the Pope's Palace suddenly became solemn.

Several figures quietly stepped out from the shadows, each of them exuding a powerful aura that made people's heart palpitate.

Especially the burly man in the lead, wearing golden armor.

"Your Holiness, is this the peerless genius you mentioned who possesses two hundred thousand year spirit rings?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo walked up to Xia Bai, looked him up and down for a moment, and said with regret:

"What a pity, such a peerless genius had to die in my hands."

"Second Priest, you have to be careful, this kid is very weird!" Qianjun Douluo looked at Xia Bai with a gloomy face and reminded Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Ever since Xia Bai cut off one of his arms in the canyon last time, he has been holding a grudge against Xia Bai.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Golden Crocodile Douluo slowly raised his hand, and a powerful wave of soul power surged out of his body and gathered at his fingertips.

Then, a golden crocodile martial spirit jumped out and stood behind him.

The fierce aura that came from ancient times made everyone present feel a palpitation in their hearts.

This is exactly the martial spirit of Golden Crocodile Douluo - the Golden Crocodile King.

This is a top beast spirit that is not inferior to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex.

On the high platform of the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong sat on the Pope's chair, her eyes as sharp as torches, tightly locking onto all the movements below.

His fingers gently hooked his chin, and he looked calm, as if he was out of the matter.

The powerful aura surged, making everyone present feel that even their breathing became much faster.

Faced with this sudden change of situation, Xia Bai was not at all flustered. His eyes were clear and there was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

He slowly raised his head and met Bibi Dong's icy gaze.

"In that case, please enlighten me, everyone present."

As soon as Xia Bai's voice fell, he turned his wrist, and a long sword surrounded by purple arcs of electricity appeared out of thin air in his hand.

The sword was glowing with a purple luster, as if it contained the power of thunder and lightning. With just a slight tremor, a tiny electric current jumped out, making a crackling sound, shocking all around. "First soul skill! Hidden Slash!"

The long sword in Xia Bai's hand was raised high, and then swung down suddenly.

In an instant, a purple sword energy gushed out from the tip of the sword, like the first ray of dawn at the creation of the world.

It swept across, bringing with it a howling wind. Wherever it passed, the space seemed to be cut apart, leaving cracks visible to the naked eye.

The sword energy was so sharp that it was astonishing. Even the priests of the Spirit Hall couldn't help but look at it in awe.

Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo's faces changed drastically when faced with this sudden attack.

Although they had been on the battlefield for a long time and had seen countless masters, the speed and power of Xia Bai's sword were beyond their imagination.

The sword energy was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, arriving in an instant, leaving them with no time to make an effective response.

At this critical moment, a layer of golden halo suddenly appeared on the surface of Golden Crocodile Douluo's body, and the whole person seemed to be covered with a thick layer of armor, indestructible.

"Golden Escape Armor!"

As he shouted, his second soul skill was activated, and a layer of transparent shield was formed instantly, blocking the path of the sword energy just right.

With a loud bang, the sword energy collided with the shield, stirring up circles of energy ripples visible to the naked eye, which spread out and shook the air around them.

Golden Crocodile Douluo's face was serious, with a flash of surprise in his eyes: "Good boy, the destructive power of this sword energy is almost comparable to that of Sword Douluo Chen Xin!"

"Thank you for the compliment, senior." Xia Bai smiled gently and swung the purple lightning sword in his hand again. Several sword energies were like dragons emerging from the sea, winding and twisting towards Golden Crocodile Douluo.

They carried the force of thunder, cutting through the void and making bursts of roars, as if they were going to crush all obstacles to pieces.

Faced with this swift attack, Golden Crocodile Douluo did not dare to be negligent. He was agile and moved quickly in the space like a nimble leopard.

Every movement was performed with extreme precision, in an effort to avoid the sharp edge of the sword energy.

However, Xia Bai's swordsmanship was so exquisite, and the trajectory of the sword energy was so strange and unpredictable that even a strong and agile man like Golden Crocodile Douluo could not guarantee that he could completely avoid it.

Seeing the sword energy approaching, Golden Crocodile Douluo roared: "Tear the crocodile claws!"

In an instant, his hands turned into two huge golden crocodile claws, the sharp claws flashing with cold light, as if they could tear through steel.

He pounced towards Xia Bai fiercely. Instead of being attacked by Xia Bai from a distance, it would be better to suppress the opponent with his powerful physical attack.

Golden Crocodile Douluo believed that with his physique tempered over the years, he would be able to gain an advantage in close combat.

However, Xia Bai was well prepared. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he had already seen through everything.

"Air wall!"

He shouted softly, and an invisible wall appeared out of thin air, as if it were real, blocking all of Golden Crocodile Douluo's attacks.

This wall of air is not solid, but it is extremely strong. It uses the close arrangement of atmospheric molecules to form a protection. Even the crocodile claws of Golden Crocodile Douluo that are powerful enough to destroy rocks cannot leave any trace on it.

Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at the transparent barrier in front of him that seemed fragile but was actually indestructible, and a hint of surprise arose in his heart.

This kid's shield can actually withstand his fourth soul skill!

It seems that we have to take some real action.

Golden Crocodile Douluo narrowed his eyes slightly, punched the ground with both fists, and shouted:
"The seventh soul skill!"

"The true form of the golden crocodile!"
