A battle encounter always caught people off guard.
Xu Xiaoshou racked his brain, but still couldnât figure out how Teng Shanhai saw through his disguise and recognized him.
âMy disguise was perfectâŠâ
âCould it be that the Holy Divine Palace had a set of identity verification procedures for the Demi-Saint Jiang Buyi?â
Even if he was able to pull off his âdisguise featâ, did Teng Shanhai have some sort of treasure that he was so sure that the person in front of him wasnât the Demi-Saint Jiang Buyi?
âIâll stop the pretense; itâs time for a showdown. Iâm Xu Xiaoshou!â
Xu Xiaoshou spread his hands. He didnât morph into his own appearance, but his voice reverted to his original tone.
He had never felt so defeated before.
He had fooled so many smart people on the Shengshen Continent, but what was going on with his identity on the Abyss Island?
It was fine to have his identity uncovered, but to have it disclosed so instantly was too muchâŠ
It would have been fine if it had been Rao Yaoyao who had recognized him, but this Teng Shanhaiâs brain didnât seem to have much of a Spiritual Light. How did he do it?
âHow did you recognize me?â Xu Xiaoshou stroked his beard, his eyes full of curiosity.
âHahahahahahahaha!â Teng Shanhai laughed out loud. His single eye was filled with joy but also a little bit of disbelief. âSo, you really are Xu Xiaoshou? â
Xu Xiaoshou was speechless.
âAre you trying to trick me?â
He was a little dazed initially, but when he recalled the information in the information bar just now, it had clearly changed from âsuspectedâ to âconfirmedâ.
In other words, Teng Shanhai must have used some method to confirm his identity.
For him to ask such a question now, it was obviously a subconscious reaction after being deceived in the past, and not really deceiving himself.
Right!
So, it was like this!
After giving himself a way out, Xu Xiaoshouâs expression was sincere as he said, âTell me, so I can die with a clear understanding?â
âHmph, you still want to prolong the time?â
Teng Shanhai was no longer the Teng Shanhai of the past. The first thing he thought of was Xu Xiaoshouâs trick, a trick that smart people often used to stall for time!
But it was good that he wanted to stall for time!
It would take some time for the power for his Holy Blood to reach its peak power.
Although Teng Shanhai didnât know where Xu Xiaoshouâs Holy Power came from, he felt that with Xu Xiaoshouâs ability, he might have already discovered his traces.
At this moment, he had already consumed the Holy Blood and had waited for his arrival!
However, how could a Master Stage and a Higher Void level be on the same level when they consumed Holy Blood?
âXu Xiaoshou, I admit that you have some skills. Your method of suppressing the treasure is indeed powerful. There was a time when I couldnât find it. I even lost contact with it.â
Teng Shanhai shook his head and sighed. He stared at Xu Xiaoshou, who looked like Jiang Buyi, with his single eye and said solemnly, âWhatâs mine is mine. Even if you take it by force, you canât break the bond between me and it!â
TreasureâŠ
ItâŠ
Snatch it away forciblyâŠ
With Xu Xiaoshouâs intelligence, he instantly understood what Teng Shanhai meant. He said in surprise, âYouâre talking about the Xiao Divine Spear?â
âNot bad!â
Teng Shanhai sneered and clenched his fist in the air. It seemed that he was about to summon something through space.
The reason why the Divine Instrument Inscription Stele was known as a Divine Instrument was because in that era, it was a treasure that was not inferior to the 21 Famed Swords.
âThe reason why itâs on the Inscription Stele was because it had been lost for a period of time. However, it did not mean that its strength had weakened.â
âOn the contrary, under the precipitation of time, it could even make great progress and improve further!â
âKa!â
The Void cracked.
Xu Xiaoshou could feel the trembling of his Yuan Mansion.
The suppressed spear, the Xiao Divine Spear, which he had snatched from Teng Shanhai during the night battle in the Imperial City, struggled madly as it tried to break out of the realm.
âDog thief, now I see!â
Xu Xiaoshou cursed angrily in his heart when he thought of the Famed Sword of the Green Scale Ridge that he snatched from Lu Keâs hands back in the White Cave. Because of the other partyâs summons, it would break out of the realm again.
He had thought that this was an ability that only the 21 Famed Swords had. He had never thought that the bond between Teng Shanhai and the Xiao Divine Spear was as profound as the bond between the Famed sword and its Sword-bearer.
And the level of the Xiao Divine Spear was obviously not any weaker than an ordinary Famed Sword!
âWhatâs your plan?â
Xu Xiaoshou couldnât believe it.
If this was a backup plan that Teng Shanhai had left behind during the night battle in the Imperial city, then this person was just pretending to be âa pig to eat the tigerâ. His true intelligence was probably not inferior to Rao Yaoyao and Gou Wuyue.
He had definitely underestimated him!
When he heard this, Teng Shanhai was stunned for a moment. then, he puffed out his chest proudly as his eyes filled with confidence.
âThatâs right!â
âThatâs right, your ass!â
Xu Xiaoshou saw his subconscious reaction and knew that this guy thought he was taking advantage of the situation. He had a lightbulb moment and suddenly he understood something.
âTeng Shanhai, donât flatter yourself. If this was really your backup plan, why did you not recognize my true form on the Lone Cliff?â Xu Xiaoshou sneered.
âThe Lone Cliff?â
When he heard this, Teng Shanhaiâs imposing aura suddenly stagnated.
Indeed, he had a faint feeling that Xu Xiaoshou was hidden among the crowd when he was on the Lone Cliff.
Because at that time, he also felt the faint restraint of the Xiao Divine Spear, even if it was not as strong as it was now.
HoweverâŠ
âOn the Lone Cliff, I believed Huang Quanâs slanderous words and really thought that you had died at his hands. Even the Xiao Divine Spear had been taken by him, so I naturally didnât want to put up a fight.â
âMoreover, Rao Yaoyao was the leader there. If I were to make a move, wouldnât I disrupt her plans?â
It had been a long time since Teng Shanhai had been acknowledged as someone with brains. Moreover, the person who had acknowledged him was the intelligent Xu Xiaoshou, who had repeatedly foiled the plans of the Holy Divine Palace.
