Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: Starting with a Bond to God King Tang San

Chapter 278 The Evil God Cult Appears

Looking at Xiao Hongchen, Deng Mu was very curious about how Xiao Hongchen's strength had improved over the years and what he had prepared.

A mischievous thought suddenly popped into Deng Mu's mind, and he released some pressure, pressing down on Xiao Hongchen.

Xiao Hongchen's confident expression froze instantly, a hint of surprise and panic flashing across his face.

The sudden pressure was like an invisible mountain, pressing heavily on him and making his breathing rapid.

His legs trembled slightly involuntarily, and his forehead was instantly covered with fine beads of sweat.

But the next second, the oppressive aura suddenly vanished, as if it had never existed.

Xiao Hongchen looked at Deng Mu with some surprise. He guessed that this pressure must have come from Deng Mu. He did not expect that Deng Mu had become even stronger after so long.

He's already ridiculously strong; there are countless people stronger than him.

Xiao Hongchen tried to calm his breathing, inwardly groaning in despair.

He thought that his hard work in studying soul tools had made a qualitative leap in his strength, enough to rival Deng Mu, and he even wanted to show off his achievements in front of the other party.

But the fleeting yet incredibly powerful pressure he had just experienced instantly brought him to his senses, making him realize that the gap between him and Deng Mu might be even greater than he had imagined.

"Deng Mu, you..." Xiao Hongchen was about to speak when he found his voice trembling slightly due to nervousness and the oppressive force he had just experienced.

He forced himself to calm down, gritted his teeth, and continued, "I didn't expect you to be so powerful now, but that doesn't mean you can always be on top of me."

Upon hearing this, Deng Mu asked with some curiosity, "Really? What have you prepared?"

Xiao Hongchen said with a hint of smugness, "I won't tell you now, but you'll find out later."

Deng Mu's curiosity grew stronger as he looked at Xiao Hongchen's deliberately mysterious demeanor, but he also knew that no matter how much he pressed, Xiao Hongchen would not easily reveal anything.

After thinking for a moment, Deng Mu looked at Xiao Hongchen and said, "Alright, then I'll wait and see what amazing things you can come up with. But I advise you, don't let your hopes be too high and your disappointment too great."

Xiao Hongchen snorted coldly, a resolute glint in his eyes. "Deng Mu, just you wait and see. What I've prepared will leave you speechless once it's revealed."

Although he had just been intimidated by Deng Mu's imposing presence, his indomitable spirit was completely ignited.

Recalling what had happened before, she secretly made up her mind that she must defeat Deng Mu and become the strongest genius.

Deng Mu didn't provoke Xiao Hongchen any further. He waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, let's wait and see. But before that, if you're thinking of making any underhanded moves, you'd better think twice about whether you have the ability."

After saying that, he left with Huo Yutong and the others, heading towards the hotel.

Looking at Xiao Hongchen's back, Meng Hongchen asked with some confusion, "Brother, why is your back wet?"

When Xiao Hongchen heard Meng Hongchen's question, his heart tightened, and he subconsciously touched his back, only to find that his clothes were already soaked with sweat.

He secretly regretted his loss of composure in front of Deng Mu, which had allowed his sister to see through his act.

Xiao Hongchen didn't want Meng Hongchen to laugh at him, so he forced himself to remain calm and said, "It's nothing, I was just walking in a hurry and broke a sweat."

Meng Hongchen tilted her head, her eyes full of suspicion, clearly not believing Xiao Hongchen's explanation.

After thinking about it, she decided to give up asking how. Knowing her brother as she did, she was sure he would tell her if he wanted to.

On the other side, Huo Yutong looked at Deng Mu and said, "Brother Mu, what do you think Xiao Hongchen has prepared?"

Deng Mu thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing more than some soul tools, nothing else."

It's unlikely that he would create his own soul skill, especially since it's not something Xiao Hongchen excels at.

As for soul bones, it's hard to say. Who knows if he's obtained any strange or unusual soul bones?

Take Dai Yueheng's soul bone as an example. It's a ten-thousand-year-level absolute defense right arm soul bone that can defend against attacks below the Super Douluo level.

In fan fiction, it would be at least a 100,000-year-old soul bone skill.

Huo Yutong thought for a moment and said, "That's true, there's nothing much besides the soul tool."

Although it could be a soul bone, soul bones are hard to find and hard to defend against.

Deng Mu patted Huo Yutong on the shoulder and said, "It's alright. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. You can rest assured about my abilities."

Huo Yutong looked at Deng Mu with eyes full of trust and nodded heavily: "Yes, Brother Mu, I believe in you! No matter what tricks Xiao Hongchen plays, he's definitely no match for you."

After returning to the hotel, Deng Mu entered a meditative state.

The latest novel is first published here!

……

As darkness fell, the group entered Mingdu.

The leader was a thin, gloomy-faced man named Shadow Fiend, who was the leader of the Evil God Cult's operation.

Shadow Fiend's sinister gaze swept across the bustling streets of Mingdu, a cruel smile curling at the corner of his lips. He muttered, "I really want to kill all these people and turn this so-called prosperous city into a living hell."

He was ordered by the cult leader to lead members of the evil god cult to accomplish a certain task.

The members of the evil cult following behind him also revealed ferocious expressions. One of them, a burly man with a face full of scars, rubbed his hands together and said impatiently, "Boss, when are we going to make our move? I can't wait to see these mortals panic."

Shadow Fiend glared at the burly man and sneered, "Fool, what's the rush! The leader has high hopes for this operation, and we can't afford any mistakes. Let's find a secluded spot first and figure out a way to meet that person."

"That person? Boss, are you talking about our inside man in Mingdu?" a tall, thin member of the Evil God Cult asked cautiously.

Shadow Fiend nodded slightly. "That's right. Only by making contact with him and obtaining the crucial information can we successfully complete our mission. Remember, this person has a special identity, so we must act with extreme caution."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then, led by Shadow Fiend, they quietly arrived at an abandoned mansion in Mingdu.

The place was overgrown with weeds and dilapidated, looking like it had been abandoned for a long time, making it an excellent hiding place for them.

After settling in, Shadow Fiend sent two clever henchmen to find the whereabouts of the mole, and they agreed to meet using a specific code.

After receiving their orders, the two men quietly left the residence under the cover of night.

Under the cover of night, the two moved like ghosts through the streets and alleys of Mingdu. They were unfamiliar with the place and could only rely on their vague memories and the few clues they had obtained before to find their way forward.

Suddenly, a squad of city guards appeared around the corner ahead, their orderly footsteps sounding exceptionally clear in the quiet night.
