555: The arrogant Gu Haotian! A god-level talent, Earthly Fiend Reincarnation!

In the General Command Hall of the Sword Void.

Shi Seventeen stood in the cleaned-up Hall, on the verge of tears: "Holy hell! I'm ruined by reparations!"

Pata!

Li Fengxian walked over: "Sis! Good news! According to the intelligence from Lone Wolf, because most Demon Cities were instantly destroyed, some Demon Hall squads have started surrendering proactively! They even want to seek the protection of General Command! To save themselves, they've revealed a lot of information!"

"Damn it! Kill them! Tell Lone Wolf to pretend to agree to their demands first, then set up a trap and slaughter those damned bastards!"

Shi Seventeen roared furiously.

Right now, she just wanted to vent her anger!

Li Fengxian shook his head: "Sis! Our goal now isn't killing; it's rescuing more Trial Takers! Stopping the Demon Fetus from being born! And slaying the Luo Hou Sword Master!"

Shi Seventeen suddenly turned her head to look at Li Fengxian. Her imposing aura softened abruptly, and she asked, staring wide-eyed with her neck stiff: "What do you think we should do?"

Both she and Li Fengxian had now received a new mission from the mist rule.

From the mission, they learned that this trial had completely changed.

It had deviated from the original intent of the Punishment Hall and was now controlled by the mist rule.

This meant that the Sword Void Legion trial initiated by the Trial Hall had utterly failed.

All losses incurred here would need to be compensated by her!

Furthermore, she would lose her position as Hall Master of the Punishment Hall after this trial ended.

This made her incredibly angry.

Because this outcome had already made her a laughingstock of the Trial Hall!

Li Fengxian smiled mysteriously: "I have my own clever plan! If you trust me, hand over the external arrangements to me! You just focus on completing the mission assigned by the mist rule: finding the werewolves within General Command!"

Shi Seventeen exhaled a mouthful of stale air. She turned to look at Li Fengxian and gave a wry smile.

She opened her mouth, but the words she wanted to say remained unspoken: "Alright! I've already publicized Su Lie's information, and the plan is underway!"

Just then.

Pata! Pata!

A voluptuous Spirit Servant walked in. She said to Shi Seventeen: "Sister Shi! The werewolves have been found! Should we proceed with the next step of the plan?"

"Who is it?"

Shi Seventeen was startled, instantly becoming excited.

Li Fengxian also looked at the person.

This Spirit Servant was named Wang Shirui, a trusted subordinate personally brought up by Shi Seventeen.

Wang Shirui said solemnly: "The liaisons on General Command's side are Technical Supervisor Zhao Po, Command Intelligence Officer Lu Tong... 5 people in total! Additionally, Vice Hall Master Zhao Tianyi, Fan Wen..."

"According to the latest intelligence we intercepted, Vice Hall Master Miao Liu, along with the Sixth Legion, was annihilated by the Power of Annihilation 10 minutes ago!"

Shi Seventeen and Li Fengxian's expressions changed drastically upon hearing this.

They involuntarily clenched their fists.

This was the most elite force among the Punishment Hall's Second Turn Legions!

This was unacceptable to both of them.

They wished they could devour these traitors immediately.

Wang Shirui sighed. After a brief pause, she quickly continued: "Hall Master Zhao Tianyi forcibly took over the Seventh Legion, citing the Sword Void crisis and the fall of General Command, and appointed his confidant Wang Fang as the Seventh Legion's Commander!"

"Vice Hall Master Fan Wen officially took charge of the Third Rank Squad and used the Great Deprivation Token to strip Wang Quanfeng of his Talent and Skill! She then awakened them in the Second Turn Trial Taker Zhao Qingtian!"

"According to the rules verification, Zhao Qingtian is Zhao Tianyi's nephew! This person is Level 99 and has awakened the Sword Immortal class!"

"Wang Quanfeng died instantly after losing his power!"

... On the other side.

Su Lie, who was currently annihilating Demon Cities, encountered a tricky problem.

Outside the thirteenth main Demon City on the outskirts of the Sword Void.

Su Lie revealed himself from his invisible state.

Inside the Black Abyss Demon City ahead of him, wooden stakes were erected one after another.

These stakes were a person's height, densely arranged throughout the Demon City.

A Punishment Hall Trial Taker was tied to every single stake.

These bound Trial Takers had their powers sealed, but they could speak, see, hear, and feel.

Beside these bound Trial Takers, there were Demon race soldiers armed with swords and axes.

Atop the highest building in the center of this giant Demon City, which spanned 300 kilometers in diameter.

The Demon City Lord stood to the side, acting like a guard.

A young Demon Hall werewolf, clad in black armor and holding a dragon-headed saber, was looking at Su Lie arrogantly: "Haha! Su Lie! It really wasn't easy to make you show yourself!"

To force Su Lie to appear and prevent him from destroying the Demon City with artillery fire.

He had actually tied nearly ten million Punishment Hall Trial Takers captured by him and his subordinates throughout the Demon City.

And he had personally beheaded 127 people from this highest point.

He then fed these killed Trial Takers to the Demon City's demon soldiers.

It was precisely because of this that Su Lie flew directly here from an area 10,000 kilometers away.

He looked at the limitlessly arrogant young man, slightly furrowed his brow, and asked faintly: "You actually know my identity? What should I call you?"

This made Su Lie's heart skip a beat.

He hadn't expected his true identity to be exposed.

Could it be Li Fengxian?

Su Lie couldn't help but ponder: "What is Li Fengxian's plan? Is he using me as bait?"

At this moment.

Gu Haotian held his head high: "Gu Haotian!"

He turned his head and glanced at a female Trial Taker kneeling on the ground beside him.

Huala!

Gu Haotian raised his hand and directly grabbed the Trial Taker's throat. He said to Su Lie: "Su Lie! If you kneel down, offer up your treasures, and sign this servant contract to become my, Gu Haotian's, slave, how about I spare all the Trial Takers in the city?"

"Of course! You might not agree!"

"The consequences won't just be as simple as killing them!"

"This Demon City has nearly 100 million monster Legions. I will arrange for all Legion members to drag these Punishment Hall dogs into the sewers, letting them die in extreme humiliation and injustice!"

"After they die, I will refine their Vengeful Spirits into medicinal pills!"

"Hahaha!"

After speaking.

He looked down at the female Trial Taker in his hand, who was now streaming snot and tears from fear: "Don't blame me! Blame Su Lie for being too stubborn! Such an excellent Talent, yet after meeting an even more excellent person like me, he doesn't kneel and submit!"

"What the hell is that?"

"It's a sin!"

"When dealing with sinners... I never show mercy!"

These words caused the surrounding Demon race members and Gu Haotian's subordinates to burst into maniacal laughter.

Su Lie looked at the extraordinarily arrogant Gu Haotian below and couldn't help but laugh: "You can try!"

Zeng!

"Hmm?"

Gu Haotian was stunned, and a strong trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

But his heart sank.

What he feared most wasn't that Su Lie wouldn't save them.

But that Su Lie, like him, was a lawless existence.

However.

He thought better of it: "If Su Lie didn't want to save anyone, he wouldn't have shown up!"

Thinking of this.

He felt much more reassured: "Anyway, I possess the Undying Talent! It doesn't matter even if I get killed!"

Subsequently.

Gu Haotian laughed arrogantly.

Pu!

The next second, the throat of the Trial Taker in his hand was crushed by his five fingers.

Blood instantly splattered out.

The Trial Taker stared desperately at Gu Haotian, trying desperately to cover her throat with her hands.

But her hands couldn't be raised.

Peng!

Gu Haotian threw the Trial Taker onto the ground. He waved his hand at the people around him while saying to Su Lie: "Then I can only invite you to watch a movie!"

As he spoke.

He immediately used the Spirit-type control Skill he was so proud of on Su Lie.

At the same time.

The subordinates behind him directly grabbed the Trial Taker who hadn't breathed her last yet.

They actually threw this Trial Taker directly onto a table and said to the surrounding Demon race guards: "Brother! The bull's talk is loud, but we don't know about his strength! Come, let this big brother see! Is the Bull Demon really a bull or not!"

"Haha!"

The Demon race guard laughed wildly, turned his head to glance at the City Lord, and only after receiving permission did he walk over with a group of lackeys.

They were undressing as they walked.

Simultaneously, Demon race soldiers across the city emerged from various locations, and they all walked toward the many Survivors tied up in the city.

Some Survivors began wailing and crying.

Some immediately cursed loudly.

Others looked eagerly at Su Lie and shouted: "Su Lie! Just listen to them! I... I... I... I'm a man!..."

"Su Lie! Kill them! You must kill them! I'd rather die than yield!"

"Su Lie! You must avenge us!"

"Gu Haotian! I RNZZ!"

"Gu Haotian! WCNMLGB!"

... For a moment, roars echoed constantly throughout the city.

At the same time.

"Hmm?"

Su Lie sensed Gu Haotian's attack.

However.

These attacks had absolutely no effect after reaching Su Lie.

It was directly nullified by Su Lie's All-System Immunity Talent.

It didn't cause Su Lie even a shred of damage.

This caused Gu Haotian in the city to narrow his eyes: "Holy hell! How is that possible?"

Su Lie shook his head: "Nonsense!"

As he spoke.

He unleashed the Time Stop Skill toward the entire city.

Currently.

Su Lie's Time attribute was 112 points, Time Affinity 110 points, and Time Control 112 points.

Under the blessing of Time Dominion.

Time Affinity and Time Control would receive a temporary gain of 1,000 times their value.

At this moment.

The attribute points of both stats were boosted to 112,000 points.

Under the rule superposition of the Time Stop Skill and the boosting effect of the Time Dominion Talent.

The effective range of Su Lie's Time Stop Skill expanded from 100 meters to 1,254 kilometers, and the duration changed from the original 10 seconds to 1,254,400 seconds.

This range and duration were sufficient for Su Lie's Skill to cover the entire city.

As soon as the Time Stop Skill was activated.

The Demon City instantly entered a state of time solidification. Everyone remained in their original posture, like puppets.

At this moment, they lost thought, consciousness, perception, and control over their bodies.

This scene shocked the tens of thousands of Demon Hall werewolves hidden around the great city, as well as the Trial Takers from the Trial Hall and Lone Wolf who wanted to come and save people or gain benefits.

"Holy hell! What kind of power is Su Lie using?"

"Time Stop or spatial solidification?"

"Gulp! Holy hell! A large-scale confinement Skill covering an area of hundreds of kilometers! This is practically defying the heavens!"

"I can only solidify space for 50 meters. I thought I was invincible, but I didn't expect there to be someone stronger than me!"

"Before, I only heard that Su Lie was formidable; now it seems he truly is formidable!"

"I heard he is a Refiner!"

"Damn! That makes it even more hurtful!"

... Su Lie ignored the surrounding lurkers.

He walked step by step into the city, immediately reaching out and grabbing Gu Haotian's head: "This guy should know quite a few secrets, right?"

Someone who could devise such a method.

Must have the capital to be so arrogant.

Before long.

Su Lie saw Gu Haotian's secrets, which made his eyes light up: "Holy hell! He actually possesses the Undying Talent!... And it's a god-tier quality Undying Talent! This is simply wonderful!"

Gu Haotian's memories contained not only the secrets of contacting the General Command Commander but also some exchanges with Ying Yuanshi.

Furthermore, this involved intelligence concerning the various Vice Hall Masters of the Punishment Hall in the central ring area.

This made Su Lie's heart skip a beat: "After Qing Feng became the President! The Talents of the Punishment Hall can no longer restrain their ambition for higher positions! They actually dare to cause trouble in a secret realm of this scale!"

"It seems!"

"In their eyes, Survivors are merely resources for their promotion!"

"Haha!"

"No wonder they say we are all Talents!"

"Just human material!"

... Su Lie's thoughts churned.

He used the Divine Thief Talent on Gu Haotian.

The reason he didn't use the shotgun to directly kill him and explode his Talent.

Was because.

According to Su Lie's deduction, if Gu Haotian were killed.

the rules of the Undying Talent would definitely be activated.

At that time.

Gu Haotian would have already resurrected outside the secret realm.

Su Lie's Treasure Refining rules would naturally not take effect.

To obtain Gu Haotian's Talent, Skill, and other powers.

He must first acquire Gu Haotian's Undying Talent.

Weng!

In the blink of an eye.

A Spirit-type Skill Awakening scroll appeared in Su Lie's hand—Spirit Shock!

"Hmm? Is this a conceptual Skill? Once cast, it can definitely make any existence with Spirit will faint, regardless of whether the target is alive?"

Su Lie was slightly surprised after reading it.

He thought of the shock he had just received.

Only then did he gain a slight understanding.

"It seems this Skill isn't without weaknesses! However, having it is better than not having it! After all, it is a conceptual Skill!"

Immediately.

Su Lie directly used the scroll.

[Weng!]

[Congratulations, you have successfully awakened the Conceptual Spirit Control Skill: Spirit Shock!]

[Spirit Shock: Red God-level Quality; Conceptual Control Skill; Consumes 5 million Spirit attribute points to launch a Spirit Shock at the target, causing the target to lose consciousness and faint for 72 hours.

Note: This Skill targets all existences possessing Spirit consciousness, regardless of whether the target is alive or has a soul.

Note: This Skill ignores levels and directly imposes a control effect on the target. If the target's Spirit attribute value is 100 times higher than your current Spirit attribute value, there is a 65% chance of failure. Otherwise, the target will 100% faint.

Note: The higher the target's Spirit attribute value, the shorter the fainting time. You can continuously cast this Skill on the target.

Note: There is a 10% chance that this Skill will directly destroy the target's Spirit will, turning the target into an idiot. The lower the target's Spirit attribute value, the higher this probability.]

"Haha!"

Su Lie laughed.

This scene was not seen by the surrounding lurkers.

Because when people's line of sight entered the Time Stop area, it would fall into a Time Stop state.

Therefore.

They could only see Su Lie walking into the Time Stop area, and then Su Lie jumping to different locations.

As for what Su Lie did in those locations.

No one knew.

Weng!

As Su Lie used the Divine Thief Talent on Gu Haotian again.

Su Lie finally obtained the Talent he wanted—god-tier quality Earth Fiend Reincarnation.

Upon seeing this Talent.

Su Lie immediately performed Identification on it.

[Weng!]

Another Talent panel appeared in Su Lie's line of sight...
