If Gong Yangchi really hated the Poison Lord, he would have directly attacked the Poison Lord in front of him when he self-detonated instead of drawing the aftershock of the explosion into the air.
After all, the aftershock of a peak Semi-Saint's self-detonation was very strong. Moreover, Gong Yangchi was in a special state and could use the power of a Saint. The aftershock of his self-detonation was stronger than that of an ordinary peak Semi-Saint and was even comparable to a Saint level attack. If he really wanted to kill the Poison Lord, the Poison Lord would not have been able to escape unscathed!
"I know."
The Poison Lord's smile was somewhat bitter. He sighed and continued, "Because of this, I feel even more guilty. Gong Yangchi has always respected me and listened to me, but I stubbornly did not give him a chance to express his thoughts. If I had listened to his thoughts more, he would not have …"
"Well, Brother Poison, don't think about it anymore."
Hearing Poison Lord's words, Lin Xiao sighed softly. He reached out and patted Poison Lord's shoulder, saying, "The dead are gone. No matter how much you think about it, Gong Yangchi won't come back to life. Instead of that, why don't you study what Gong Yangchi gave you before he died? Our battle is not over!"
"Okay."
The Poison Lord nodded in agreement.
He understood that their biggest opponent now was not the Heavenly Saints Alliance in front of them, but Zhou Yuan and Yu Pingchang, who had been hiding in the dark and who knew when they would strike again. Therefore, they needed stronger means, and a means to use the power of a Saint was undoubtedly what they needed!
Seeing that the Poison Lord had recovered, Lin Xiao also nodded.
Lin Xiao sighed with emotion about Gong Yangchi's death. After all, he had been undercover with Gong Yangchi in the Tool Sect and had a good relationship with him. Seeing Gong Yangchi die like this, Lin Xiao felt a little pity.
But when he thought of how Gong Yangchi had betrayed him and told the Heavenly Saints Alliance about the characteristics of his divine generals and helped the Heavenly Saints Alliance come up with a way to deal with them, Lin Xiao's favorable impression of Gong Yangchi had greatly decreased.
Therefore, Lin Xiao only sighed with emotion about Gong Yangchi's death but was not too sad.
But the Poison Lord was different.
They were, after all, fellow apprentices, and had been brothers for over a thousand years. It wouldn't be easy for the Poison Lord to come out of his stupor. Therefore, Lin Xiao could only find something for the Poison Lord to do to distract him.
Of course, if they could really use the power of a Saint, it would definitely be good news for Lin Xiao!
After appeasing the Poison Lord, Lin Xiao went to Xu Tianchong's tent.
Tomorrow was the fifth day of the competition. According to his agreement with Xu Tianchong, he would let Xu Tianchong fight tomorrow. There were some things that he still needed to explain.
However, before Lin Xiao could speak, Xu Tianchong interrupted Lin Xiao and said, "Nephew, I am ready. Don't tell me you want to change people!"
"Of course not. Since I promised Uncle Xu, I won't go back on my word!"
Lin Xiao heard this and smiled helplessly. He took out a stone box and handed it to Xu Tianchong. He said slowly, "Uncle Xu, you have seen the previous few matches. The Heavenly Saints Alliance has many tricks up their sleeves. I am worried that they will use some dirty tricks tomorrow. Uncle Xu, take this box. It may save your life at a critical moment!"
Inside the box was the 'Space Scroll' rewarded by the system. This' Space Scroll 'was different from the ordinary' Space Scrolls'. It could be used even in front of a Saint!
In Lin Xiao's current situation, he didn't need it for the time being. However, Xu Tianchong's match was a one-on-one. He didn't know what the Heavenly Saints Alliance would do, so it was better to be cautious.
After all, Xu Tianchong was Xu Qingruo's father. If something happened to him in the arena, Lin Xiao wouldn't be able to explain it to Xu Qingruo.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Tianchong took the stone box and said, "Thank you, nephew. But don't worry, I will try not to use it!"
Although he didn't know what was in the stone box, Lin Xiao gave it to him at this time. It must be a rare treasure. Of course, Xu Tianchong wouldn't waste it.
Hearing Xu Tianchong's words, Lin Xiao nodded gently and said, "Uncle Xu, I still say the same thing. Safety is the first priority. It doesn't matter if you win or lose. Your safety is the most important!"
Lin Xiao would tell every Divine General this when they went on stage. After all, for Lin Xiao, if they lost the match, they could win it back. However, if they died, they would never be able to come back. Such a loss was no less than the loss of a match.
What's more, Xu Tianchong was Xu Qingruo's father!
"Nephew, you don't believe me?"
Xu Tianchong didn't answer Lin Xiao's question. Instead, he smiled and asked, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"Good."
Lin Xiao was a little worried about Xu Tianchong's ambiguous answer. However, since Xu Tianchong had already said so, if he continued, he was afraid that Xu Tianchong would be unhappy. Therefore, Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment and didn't continue.
The night passed quickly, and the fifth day of the competition had already begun.
In the first four matches, the Great Quan Empire was already leading the Heavenly Saints Alliance by a score of three to one. Wei Wushuang no longer had a smile on his face. Instead, he looked gloomy.
There was no other way!
After losing three matches in a row, their strength had been greatly reduced. Especially in the fourth match yesterday, Wei Wushuang had the mentality that he would definitely win. However, the result was that he returned with a pale face. How could he be happy?
Seeing Wei Wushuang's gloomy face, Lin Xiao just raised his eyebrows. He didn't bother to ridicule him anymore and directly said, "I choose one-on-one for this match!"
"Okay."
Wei Wushuang wasn't surprised by Lin Xiao's choice. He just responded coldly.
Lin Xiao didn't say much. He also nodded and sent Xu Tianchong. Wei Wushuang also didn't procrastinate and sent a black-clothed masked man to meet the battle.
Lin Xiao couldn't figure out the identity of this black-clothed masked man. However, Lin Xiao was very clear that this person's strength was absolutely not weak.
This was already the fifth match. Since the Heavenly Saints Alliance had already lost three matches, Wei Wushuang would definitely send his strongest lineup for this match. Otherwise, once they lost another match, the Heavenly Saints Alliance would have one foot on the edge of the cliff. With Wei Wushuang's temperament, he wouldn't make such a choice.
Therefore, Lin Xiao was still a little worried about Xu Tianchong.
Although Xu Tianchong's strength was already at the peak of the Half-step Sage Realm, his strength wasn't very strong.
