Chapter 135 Showdown

Standing on the city wall, a man completely wrapped in white god-binding tape was none other than Taurus, the leader of the Phoenix Organization's twelve zodiacs!

Wearing an iron bull-head mask, he surveyed the masses like a king.

"I've been seen through…"

Taurus watched the Nuomi Gui constantly shifting its core, as if desperately trying to survive, and shook his head slightly.

The Nuomi Gui experiment could only go so far.

As a strange being, using a reverse operation similar to the guiling root (pseudo spirit root), implanting human elements, combining humans and the strange, and using the strange as the core.

The current result is a significant increase in intelligence and an accelerated rate of strength improvement.

However… the Nuomi Gui are carefully selected by the Phoenix Organization and are the most compatible batch of strange beings in the experiment, which is very different from ordinary strange beings.

Therefore, creating more special strange beings similar to the Nuomi Gui is still quite troublesome.

Of course, if it were the weak and unintelligent strange beings below, it wouldn't be too difficult to create them.

In any case, this experiment has, in a sense, been successful.

Because… the most important part has been verified.

That is, the reverse implantation of strange energy, turning it into a pseudo-guiling root, has extremely strong concealment, preventing most old-fashioned formations from detecting it.

Behind this, there is too much room for manipulation.

As everyone knows, large cities like Qingcheng are highly secure, and there are very few reports of strange beings invading because of their powerful formation detection capabilities.

It can expose all strange beings before they enter the city, triggering battles outside the city and directly eliminating them.

In addition, Qing has the Zhen Guo Shi Shi (nation-guarding stone lions) and the powerful warriors in the palace, which naturally makes it the safest city in the entire Qing Kingdom.

However, even in Qingcheng, the formations are not updated all the time, but only undergo a major overhaul every ten years.

And it is only a major overhaul, merely ensuring that the formations can operate normally.

To enhance the formations or add new formation content, the difficulty is no less than rebuilding the entire formation, requiring a large number of top formation talents to gather in Qingcheng, conduct research and cooperation for several years before they can begin to modify and add to the formation content.

This means that Qingcheng's formations, like those of other cities, have a huge hidden danger… that is, they are outdated!

Outdated formations cannot adapt to the technology developed in the new era!

"Invading Qingcheng is full of potential!"

"This will be my strongest trump card to overturn the Phoenix Organization!"

"It is also my confidence to face Feng Wang (Phoenix King) and Huang Hou (Phoenix Queen) after entering the capital!"

"Huan Er… you don't need to know anything. I will subvert the Phoenix Organization and return your true… freedom!"

Clenching his fist, Taurus took a deep breath and gave the people behind him a look.

"Start the recovery plan! Nuomi Gui, Shen Feng Zhen Xue (Divine Phoenix True Blood), and the real guiling root, I want them all!"

"Yes!"

Everyone understood and went down from the city wall, leaping and jumping, heading precisely towards the 108 cores of the Nuomi Gui.

Compared to Fang Yue risking his life to figure out the essence of the Nuomi Gui, Taurus and his men had known about the Nuomi Gui's methods long ago!

But this is also normal, after all… the Nuomi Gui was released by Taurus and them!

The people of the Phoenix Organization were busy recovering the Nuomi Gui, but Fang Yue turned a blind eye, only looking up and staring at Taurus on the city wall without saying a word.

The situation was no longer determined by these trivial matters.

Whether it was Fang Yue or Taurus, they were very clear that high-end combat power determined everything!

When he or the other party wins or loses in the upcoming battle, everything else will be resolved!

One stood above the high wall, and the other stood on the flat ground, looking at each other from a distance. Just like that, they could immediately feel the atmosphere becoming solemn, and the sound of the wind seemed to carry a strong killing intent.

Momentum was building.

Everything around seemed to fade, and only each other remained in their sight.

"Taurus…"

Fang Yue raised his ice blade with one hand, coldly looking up and saying, "Answer me, where is An Dong'er!"

Taurus frowned slightly.

The Divine Phoenix True Blood too, and this guy too, why are they all coming for An Dong'er?

The extremely yin body, the closest constitution to the yin cha (underworld emissary)!

Even I cannot keep someone with such qualifications by my side for too long. What ability do you have to take her back?

Not to mention, even if An Dong'er is with me, even if you take her back from me, before long, you will have to face… the pressure of the entire Phoenix Organization, the three Hei Yu (Black Feathers), and the personal arrival of Feng Wang and Huang Hou!

That kind of formation would shake the entire city, even in Qingcheng!

You little cats are no match for the Phoenix Organization!

Taurus touched the mask on his face, a faint sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth.

The vastness of the Phoenix Organization is far beyond what these little guys think. You can't save people with just passion; you will only harm yourself and others!

Just like… I was back then!

"Answer me! Where is An Dong'er!"

Another clamorous roar. Centered on Fang Yue, the ground within a hundred meters was covered in frost, forming a frozen land!

"An Dong'er has been taken back to Qingcheng by Hei Yu-daren (Lord Black Feather). If you want to see her, surrender obediently, and I will take you to see her."

Fang Yue's face changed several times.

Qingcheng, An Dong'er was really taken to Qingcheng?

It seems that Captain Wu's information is indeed outdated.

With the arrogance Taurus is showing at the moment, and the high-handed attitude as if he knows the situation like the back of his hand, he doesn't seem like someone who would lie about such a matter.

However…

"Captain Wu!"

"Here!"

Captain Wu, who had shed the Divine Phoenix Avatar, was only physically weak and had no other sequelae. Hearing Fang Yue's call at this moment, he immediately responded from behind.

"Can you still move?"

"I can fight ten strange beings without a problem!"

"That's good!"

Fang Yue gave Dou Hongyi next to Captain Wu a look, and the latter immediately understood.

Fang Yue had already told Dou Hongyi the location of the Phoenix Organization's base in Chu Nuan City.

The current meaning is naturally to let Dou Hongyi take Captain Wu and others to search the Phoenix Organization's base.

If Taurus is lying, then An Dong'er is still in the Phoenix Organization's base.

If Taurus is telling the truth, the Phoenix Organization's base must still have some clues that can be found about An Dong'er.

Dou Hongyi whispered a few words, and Captain Wu's eyes lit up. He clenched his fists, braced his weak body, and stood up straight.

He had vowed to rescue An Dong'er, and now the opportunity was right in front of him. He would never miss it! Even though, judging from the conversation between Fang Yue and Taurus, the possibility of An Dong'er still being in the Phoenix Organization's base was very small.
