--- Chapter 256 ---

"Kneel."

Kaguya's simple yet indifferent command affected the entire arena. It was quite a shock because even Liu Erlong could feel a weird aura from this silver-haired woman.

It's a lingering cold sensation that seems to seep through your neck. If you move even the slightest inch, it's like you were about to die.

Tang San, who's the closest out of anyone, couldn't feel his body at all. He couldn't even breathe properly because of Kaguya's pressure.

As Tang San's anger disappeared, a bizarre fear abruptly struck him down.

Kaguya's hand reached over Tang San's head, but when she was about to touch him, a kick came out of nowhere.

Bam!

Even the blue silver grass shield cannot be formed at the right time before the kick lands on Kaguya.

"Teleportation," Kaguya commented while moving her gaze to Xiao Wu, who fainted after receiving her gentle fist.

"I see, you were also like me."

"We give u-," Xiao Wu responded calmly.

However, it was too late because Kaguya instantly stood against Xiao Wu and grasped her mouth.

"What's love for you?" Kaguya asked while clenching her hand slightly, making Xiao Wu choke on air a little.

Xiao Wu looked at Kaguya straight in the eyes and spouted, "Fuck off."

"Phoenix Flame!"

"LightWave!"

BOOM!

Ma Xiaotao and Dai Mubai swiftly attacked Kaguya simultaneously and retrieved Xiao Wu from her grasp.

They gathered on the other side of the stage and noticed no one of their attacks scratched Kaguya's clothes.

"Can we win?" Oscar nervously asked with a scared expression.

He has watched his entire team almost get wiped to the floor by this terrifying woman.

Though she's beautiful, which he admitted, she was nothing but a demon currently for him.

"She's strong, no... This woman is the strongest person we have ever faced." Xiao Wu answered while relaxing her mouth.

"But, we fought sword douluo and bone douluo in training?!" Oscar responded in panic.

The entire team was solemn after hearing Oscar's statement. It's not because he was saying something wrong because they roughly were trained by sword douluo and bone douluo.

Their strength increased exponentially in a short amount of time, making them confident enough to defeat soul douluo.

Even their teacher praised them for being a group of little monsters, but something unexpected happened, a real monster appeared.

"We can't give up yet." Tang San firmly stated.

He couldn't give up yet because someone who killed her mother was from the spirit hall.

Tang Yueha, his biological aunt, told him everything about the spirit hall's wrongdoing when he met her at Heaven Dou City.

Tang San was shocked because his father never told him about this, and he abruptly disappeared while only leaving a letter for him.

Tang Yueha warned Tang San to avoid the spirit hall in any way possible because he had no protection whatsoever.

The bone douluo convinced her that he was confident enough to protect them instantly if something harmful happened.

With Tang Hao's location unknown to anyone, Tang San also wants to know more about his origin, which leads him to this place.

'Aunt said I have to be aware of the danger,' Tang San looked at Xiao Wu, who had a worried expression.

He sighed and calmly moved his gaze to Kaguya, who stood on the other part of the stage while blue silver grass revolved around her.

"Listen, I have a plan." Tang San naturally stated, which caught his teammate's interest.

They immediately looked at Tang San and listened to his fail-safe plan. As they didn't have to defeat this strong woman, what they could do was survive, to begin with, so all they had to do was defend and last until other teams lost.

"However, will we be able to do that?" Ning Rongrong questioned because they were in a tight spot now.

Tang San smiled and answered, "We could because we are the Shrek seven devils."

"Hmm, what an amusing name." Kaguya casually pointed her palm at them.

They were confused for a moment because nothing occurred for the next few seconds until a shockwave burst out of nowhere.

A wind ripping noises roared on the stage, causing the barrier around them to shine dimly.

Liu Erlong's eyes widened slightly and caused her to observe Kaguya with a weird expression.

"Since I couldn't use my dimensional strength yet, this should be enough." Kaguya clenched her fist, and the ground released a grumbled noise.

BOOM!

A hundred rock pillars came out and covered the entire place.

Tang San's eyes shone and directly caught all his teammates with hidden weapons. He hides them well on the shadowy rocks and peeks through some holes.

"I don't know what that woman is planning, but she wouldn't be able to find us here." Tang San muttered quietly.

Yunlong smiled at Tang San's reaction because he must be foolish enough to hide from Kaguya's byakugan.

"Hmm?" He frowned and looked at the sky for a moment.

Bibi Dong noticed something was weird and asked, "Did you feel something?"

"A group of people is swiftly moving to this place right now," Yunlong calmly answered.

"Are they strong?" Bibi Dong questioned with a playful voice.

Yunlong shrugged his shoulders and casually responded, "Not really. It's only a few titled douluo."

Bibi Dong wryly sighed, "Probably only you who'll explain a group of strong people as few."

[Ding!]

[A sudden quest has arrived]

[Name: Up & Down]

[Objective: Protect the spirit hall from the enemy]

"Protect?" Yunlong was confused because, from what he observed, the incoming group wasn't even a threat to Bibi Dong

[Ding!]

[Another quest has arrived]

[Name: A solid defense]

[Objective: In 15 minutes, try your hardest to defend the spirit hall from the god-slaying weapon(prototype)]

[15:00]

[14:59]

"I didn't even accept the quest yet, and it has already started." Yunlong created a clone, who teleported himself to the highest tower in the spirit palace.

Yunlong's clone used heaven's eye to its maximum potential and realized a giant spear filled with disturbing energy approaching this place.

He moved his gaze to the group of people and noticed their clothes possessed a unique clan mark.

"The clear sky clan." He muttered. "It seems that they have a connection with this god-slaying weapon."

The clone dispersed, and Yunlong gained some new information.

He briefly but detailedly explained everything to Bibi Dong, who became solemn all of a sudden.

"The god-slaying weapon? I've never heard anything about this." Bibi Dong said with a baffled tone.

"Neither am i." Yunlong calmly continued while planning a few things in his head.

He connected himself with his maids and Kaguya, telling them everything was about to happen in the next fifteen minutes.

"Hmph." Kaguya rotated her body and pouted at him.

Yunlong shook his head and commented, "Finish them quickly because we have guests."

"Ah, maybe you can choke one of them a little when our dear guest arrives." He added, which caused Kaguya to tilt her head in confusion.

"Fine," Kaguya responded while disappearing from her position.

Tang San wasn't even blinking before he could notice his entire team got beaten up.

He felt a chill in his neck and turned around to find his entire teammate fainted on the ground with painful looks on their faces.

Kaguya looked at Tang San menacingly with her white eyes and instantly hit his pressure points.

Cough!

Tang San lost control of his strength and painfully looked at Kaguya slowly, choking his neck.

Liu Erlong frowned and looked at the night sky where a few people floated with a grim look plastered on their faces.

"SPIRIT HALL, WE ARE HERE TO PAY YOU BACK!"
