Reincarnated as a demon from Douluo Continent, guarding peace in the human world.

Chapter 96 The Performance's Deadly Intent (Part Two)

Wuhun Temple.

Miles scrambled into the main hall.

Inside the main hall, Bibi Dong looked at his disheveled appearance and her face turned cold.

"Miles! What kind of behavior is this?!"

Miles scrambled to his feet, tears streaming down his face, his expression terrified. "Your Holiness, it was...it was that villain, Xiao Xianren! He...he actually...killed one of our Spirit Hall's Soul Masters!"

"He doesn't take our Spirit Hall seriously at all!"

"He also said he would pursue the matter further. Your Holiness, I am a bishop of the Spirit Hall! How dare he?"

Miles was terrified at the thought of Xiao killing those Spirit Hall Soul Masters with a blank expression.

He felt a chill run down his spine.

Because all the Soul Masters who were killed were his lackeys who had killed many people for him.

He just didn't want to get his hands dirty by killing people himself, so he had his lackeys do it.

Now that Xiao has killed those lackeys, wouldn't he be in trouble if he found out that he was the one who ordered them to do it?

Bibi Dong sneered and said, "You? Miles, you must have done quite a few shady things in Gengxin City, right?"

"This..." Miles hesitated, not daring to answer.

Bibi Dong snorted coldly and said, "Since he didn't kill you on the spot, it means you're not stupid enough to kill someone yourself. Don't worry, he won't be arrogant for long. Just wait and see."

As Bibi Dong said this, a murderous glint flashed in her eyes.

Although she is not a good person, she would never admire a group of bad people.

She didn't care if a bishop like Miles died.

Even if she were to confront Xiao head-on because of Miles, not to mention that she has sealed some of her soul power, she would still be no match for Xiao!

How could I possibly risk my life for Miles?

Even when they came to design the game, it was only to disrupt Xiao's performance, not because they really wanted to fight Xiao to the death.

In that case, she wouldn't have come alone!

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Miles assumed she had the ability to protect him, breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his brow, and said with a forced smile:

"With His Holiness the Pope's protection, I have nothing to fear, nothing to fear. I've destroyed all the evidence during this time..."

Bibi Dong hummed in agreement, then asked, "Could you possibly disperse an entire audience from an opera house in a short period of time, no matter how excellent the performance is?"

Miles paused for a moment, thought for a second, and nodded, saying, "That's possible, as long as we turn off the lights for the show, and then... Your Holiness, you're not planning to sabotage the Tianshui Girls' performance, are you?"

"So what if it is?" Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes and looked at Miles.

Miles' expression hardened, and he chuckled awkwardly, "Of course it's alright, Your Holiness the Pope. Whatever you ask for, we'll do it. That opera house is open-air; I have a million ways to make it happen, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

"That's good then." Bibi Dong nodded slightly, then told him to get lost again.

Miles quickly left. Although Bibi Dong spoke nicely, he was still worried that Xiao would punish him.

After all, Xiao had defeated five Title Douluos.

There is only one Pope, and he doesn't seem like a very powerful figure.

……

Seven days later.

In the most luxurious hotel.

In a certain room, a knocking sound rang out on the door.

Dai Mubai opened the door and welcomed in a blue-haired man dressed in a mask.

Tang San tried to poison Xiao, but Xiao instead returned the way he came. The poison affected his face, corroding his features and leaving them mottled and discolored.

From then on, he wore a mask.

Upon entering, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing both looked at Tang San with surprise.

Tang San used to have black hair, but now it has turned into medium-length blue hair, and his body is no longer as peaceful as before, but instead full of violence.

"Mistress, are you... are you a mistress?" Dai Mubai asked in confusion.

"It's me, Boss Dai. I've become this awful person because of that guy. He's ruined me..." Tang San recounted his ordeal.

Then, he slowly removed his mask, revealing a scarred and ravaged face in front of Dai Mubai and the other man.

Tang San has no hair on his face, his lips and eyelids have disappeared, and even his nose is just two empty holes. He is very scary and would probably scare people to death if he were outside!

Even though Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were mentally prepared and had killed people before, they were still completely stunned by what they saw.

Before the two could react, Tang San put his mask back on and asked in return:

"Now you know why I killed him, right?"

"I swear I will not rest until I avenge this!"

Tang San gritted his teeth and said.

Dai Mubai reacted, his face contorted with rage. Suppressing his anger, he coldly cursed, "That bastard! How dare he injure my brother like this! I will never forgive him!"

Dai Mubai grabbed Tang San's shoulders, looked at him earnestly, and said, "Little San, believe me, I will definitely kill him! I will avenge you!"

"If three thousand people can't do it, then thirty thousand, three hundred thousand!"

"He dared to humiliate my brother like this; he must die!"

Dai Mubai's face was contorted with rage, his killing intent palpable.

The Shrek Seven Devils are as close as brothers, and the soul of the group is undoubtedly Tang San.

Now that Tang San has been forced into this situation, Dai Mubai, as the eldest brother, will naturally not let it go.

Zhu Zhuqing covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes, "Third Brother, you...you must be in so much pain..."

Tang San gave a wry smile. "I've gotten used to it. This hatred has sparked my inspiration, and I've finally forged these three deadly weapons..."

Tang San waved his hand on the table, and three objects appeared.

It was all made of metal, including a disc, a tube, and a lotus-shaped device.

They look ordinary, but they exude an incredibly terrifying aura.

"What are these? Are they also hidden weapons? Are they even more powerful than the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow?" Dai Mubai asked in confusion.

Tang San nodded, picked up one of them, and aimed it at Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai's face immediately turned pale, revealing a look of terror. He exclaimed, "Such a dangerous aura! I even feel like I'm going to die!"

Tang San nodded slightly. "Yes, even a Title Douluo can die if caught off guard! All three hidden weapons have that ability!"

"They are respectively called Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle, Peacock Feather, and Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus!"

"Then, the three of us will launch this hidden weapon from different directions simultaneously, and we can kill Xiao in the chaos!"

Tang San's face flashed with madness; he was no longer satisfied with Xiao's simple death.

He must die by his own hidden weapon!

As for the consequences of failure...

He had no other hope.

"The reason I'm late this time is because I'm going to turn this place into Xiao's graveyard! I'm not the only one who wants to kill Xiao."

Tang San sneered.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing looked at Tang San and suddenly felt that he was such a stranger.

It's like a collection of all negative emotions.

However, after listening to Tang San's words, they also felt a strong sense of confidence.

It will definitely kill Xiao!

Afterwards, if I win over those people, I might be able to use their power to annex the Heavenly Dou Empire in the future!

Dai Mubai was thinking of something good.

……

After being "visited" by Xiao, the city lord became very honest and was willing to cooperate with the Tianshui Girls' Group without taking a penny. He even took the initiative to issue a notice to promote the news of the Tianshui Girls' Group's arrival.

With the city lord exerting such effort, the people in the city, who already had a strong fondness for the Tianshui Girls' Group, naturally flocked to watch.

Nearly a third of the city’s residents flocked to the opera house.

Many more seats have been added inside the opera house, so people are practically sitting next to each other just to get a seat.

Backstage, the Tianshui girl group wasn't nervous; they chatted around Xiao.

"Thanks to Xiao Xianren, that city lord, who used to threaten Xiao Xianren, is now eager to cooperate, as if afraid we'll refuse. How interesting."

"There must be at least 200,000 people here, right? I just peeked, it's so crowded!"

"Luckily the weather is nice today, otherwise this group of people probably wouldn't be able to get out!"

"..."

The Tianshui girl group chattered away like a flock of larks.

Shui Bing'er looked at the silent Xiao, who frowned slightly, seemingly deep in thought.

"Quiet down..." Shui Bing'er put her finger to her lips, signaling the Tianshui Girls' Group to be quiet.

Once the silence fell, Xiao came to his senses, looked at them, and shook his head, saying, "You don't need to worry about me. I'm thinking about something."

"What's wrong, Master Xiao? Is there some kind of conspiracy? To be honest, everything has been going smoothly these past few days, which is making me a little worried."

Shui Bing'er sighed softly and expressed her concerns.

In her hazy state, she always had the feeling that something was watching her.

Xiao nodded slightly. "There is indeed a conspiracy; they want to do something outrageous. But I'm not sure where they're hiding yet, and I'm worried they might strike in this situation..."

Xiao rarely spoke such a long string of words.

He wasn't worried about his own safety; in the entire Douluo Continent, absolutely no one could threaten his safety.

He was worried that because they were targeting him, those people would become so ruthless that innocent people might be implicated.

"Sage Xiao, we believe in you. We're sure you can thwart this conspiracy. If you encounter a dilemma, you can leave now and don't worry about us."

Shui Bing'er said earnestly.

Xiao shook his head. "Life is priceless. But if I had to make a choice, I would save you first."

Shui Bing'er's face instantly turned red, automatically filtering out the word "them".

She felt a sweet warmth in her heart. Even though Xiao hadn't said anything romantic, that one sentence was enough!

"Wow!!!"

The Tianshui girl group cheered even louder, their faces beaming with joy.

"I'm so happy! So I'm different in Xiao Xianren's eyes after all! Waaah, I've made it! With those words, I'd die happy!"

"Xiao the Sage, you are my god!!!"

"I'd do anything for Xiao the Sage!"

"..."

The Tianshui girl group members were all incredibly excited.

Shui Bing'er cleared her throat and said, "Alright! You all need to quiet down! The performance outside is about to start, let's get ready to go in!"

Suddenly, a burst of enthusiastic applause rang out from behind the curtain.

Then a staff member came over to remind them, "It's time to go on stage."

Shui Bing'er and the other girls then went to the stage together.

Xiao was left backstage. He clutched his stomach and suddenly felt a churning sensation inside.

With the body of an immortal, he naturally wouldn't have an upset stomach. The only thing that could make him feel nauseous is poisoning.

He has only drunk some water these past few days and hasn't eaten anything.

It seems that those conspiracies are beginning to surface?

This time, it's far more serious than any before; it seems like they're really going to kill us.

Perfect timing, this time we'll catch them all in one fell swoop.

He had previously let go of several people who had attempted to assassinate him.

But clearly the other party did not appreciate the kindness shown to them, and instead became even more unreasonable.

In that case, he is even less likely to make the same mistake a second time.

Xiao walked to the front of the stage.

At this moment, the dense crowd was all watching the performance on the stage.

The Tianshui Girls' Group's singing and dancing are top-notch in Douluo Continent, and are extremely entertaining.

Xiao came down to the stage, scanned the area, and quickly realized that the opera house was open-air and not the tallest building.

Next to it, there is an even taller building, which is a watchtower.

A beam of light reflected off and shone on Xiao's eyes.

At the same time, the sound of climbing suddenly came from the walls surrounding the opera house.

Others are so engrossed in the song and dance that they don't notice it, but they can't fool his senses!

Xiao immediately realized that someone had sneaked up here!

And what are they going to do?

Xiao lifted off the ground, floated up, and rose into the air.

The next second, a strong gust of wind came whistling in.

Suddenly, a giant arrow shot out from the distant watchtower and flew towards the stage!

The enemy's target was not Xiao, and they knew that with Xiao's agility, it was almost impossible to hit him. So they actually set their sights on the Tianshui Girls' Group!

"call out……!!!"

Xiao instantly blocked the front of the stage, joined forces with Pu Yuan, and fired a shot. A flash of blue light turned the giant arrow into flames and dissipated.

But at that moment, thousands of arrows suddenly shot out from all around, all circling the stage.

Soldiers who had climbed the opera house wall were all armed with crossbows and were firing them at the stage.

The other party doesn't care at all whether innocent people will be hurt.

Or rather, that's their goal: to keep Xiao busy dealing with everything!

At this moment, Xiao Zhen became enraged and put on the Nuo mask.

The surrounding space seemed to be entirely under his control; he could even see that the watchtower was preparing another round of giant arrows!

At this moment, neither the Tianshui girl group on stage nor the ordinary people in the audience noticed anything unusual.

Xiao suddenly unleashed his full power, streaking across the air with a streak of blue light. His strength alone seemed to create a protective shield.

It protected the entire stage inside.

The crossbow bolts were shattered into powder the moment they hit the blue light shield.

None of them could break through Xiao's defenses; they were all shattered!

Xiao threw a long spear, which shot towards the watchtower.

It instantly shattered the giant arrow shot from the watchtower, and then continued its trajectory like a meteor towards the watchtower.

Xiao simultaneously charged towards the walls surrounding the opera house, flashing past before the soldiers could unleash a second barrage of arrows, circling back from the starting point.

Every soldier now has a red line around their neck!

Then he fell backward, powerless!
