It can be concluded from the battle at Demon King's Village that among Dugu Ningke, Shan Xiaoxiao and Yuchi Yanhong, there must be someone who can use space transfer spells, but it is impossible to determine who it is.
Shan Xiaoxiao was definitely not, otherwise she would not have been easily hit by Lu Xiao's killing move.
According to common sense, the most likely candidate should be Dugu Ningke, who is the strongest and has the most comprehensive spells.
But Dugu Ningke did not escape. She chose to stay and fight Yuwen Tuo to the death. Yuchi Yanhong, who was supposed to be loyal to Dugu Ningke, disappeared instead.
Lu Xiao still vaguely remembered that Dugu Ningke should have held the final trump card given to her by Satan, but she seemed to be worried that she would be embarrassed to face Yuwen Tuo after becoming ugly, so she did not use it in the decisive battle.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Xiao decided to go to the master bedroom to witness the decisive battle between Yuwen Tuo and Dugu Ningke.
There were many servants strewn about in the Prince's Mansion. They were lying on the ground with their eyes turned white, twitching in pain, and foaming at the corners of their mouths unconsciously.
Zhang Lie used the Pangu Ax to tear open the barrier without damaging the foundation of the Blood Corrosion Formation. Although these servants were temporarily comatose, their lives should be safe.
When Lu Xiao followed the sound of fighting and rushed to the scene, Zhang Lie, Jingchou and others were also present. They temporarily stayed on the sidelines at Yuwen Tuo's request.
The sword energy was rampant in Nuo Da's house, and the princess's bedroom, which still smelled faintly of incense, was in a mess.
In terms of combat power alone, the possessed and rebuilt Dugu Ningke is no match for Yuwen Tuo. Even with the help of a large number of magic weapons collected over the years, it is impossible to turn the tide of the war.
The scene Lu Xiao saw when he arrived at the scene was a true portrayal of the gap in strength between the two.
Dugu Ningke grew a pair of demonic bat wings while exerting all her strength, and a ghost shadow of a soul whose specific appearance could not be seen was suspended behind her body. It could only be roughly judged from the clothes that she was a Westerner.
Yuwen Tuo also saw this phantom, and at this time he had mixed feelings in his heart.
Judging from the scene, Yuwen Tuo had an absolute advantage. There were a large number of magic weapon remains scattered on the ground, most of which were cut in two from the center.
"Whoa!"
Yuwen Tuo pointed the Xuanyuan Sword at Dugu Ningke, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth. On the surface, he remained calm and did not let his inner agitation affect the business.
"The spies sent by the Western Demon Realm should reveal their true colors and get out of Princess Dugu's body!"
"Haha~"
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Dugu Ningke looked at Yuwen Tuo with a half-smile but not a smile: "Master Yuwen, you don't still have nostalgia for the original Princess Dugu, do you?"
"It's a pity that the real Princess Dugu died when she was one year old. It was me who took over her body. The Princess Dugu you have known since childhood is me. Are you disappointed?"
"you……"
Lu Xiao is a little dissatisfied with Yuwen Tuo's mother-in-law, and Yu Chi Yanhong is still on the run. This is not the time for children to be in love.
"Master Yuwen, please allow me to interrupt."
"please."
After getting Yuwen Tuo's approval, Lu Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at the seriously injured Dugu Ningke.
"Witch, where did you hide that vixen? Could it be that you gave her the trump card that Satan left for you?"
"Haha~ What do you think?"
Dugu Ningke had no fear of imminent death and responded to Lu Xiao's questions with a smile.
While answering the question, the blood vessels in Dugu Ningke's neck gradually protruded from the skin, and she seemed to be secretly brewing some plan.
"This is……"
Lu Xiao's expression changed: "Pay attention! This witch has a back-up plan!
Dugu Ningke groaned and curled up into a ball in the air. Her body could not bear the huge pressure and was spraying blood crazily around.
Yuwen Tuo saw Dugu Ningke's intention: "No! She plans to explode the spiritual power in her body!"
"Ahhhhh!"
Dugu Ningke was in extreme pain, her eyes were blood red, her body was completely stretched out, she was floating in the air and screaming.
"Yu Wentuo, there are other troublemakers, just go to hell with me!"
The spiritual power in Dugu Ningke's body was obviously out of balance. It was running at super speed, and her tendons that stored magic power were beginning to be unable to withstand it.
"Everyone, come to me! Hurry!"
Lu Xiao called everyone, including Yuwen Tuo, to come closer to him, and used the power of time and space in parallel to combine the two to form an absolute defensive barrier.
"Lord Satan! Please give me power for the last time!"
Knowing that she would be punished with death by Satan if she failed in the mission, Nicole would rather die with dignity.
"Boom!"
An astonishing spiritual explosion exploded in the Prince's Mansion, and the huge roar of spring in the northwest corner of the city could be heard in every neighborhood of Daxing City.
Yang Guang, who was far away in the palace, was furious and repeatedly issued orders for Yuwen Tuo to suspend his actions.
Yang Shuo was like a smelly stone in a latrine. He kept trying to persuade him over and over again, which made Yang Guang extremely annoyed.
After the aftermath of the explosion dissipated, the main building of the County Prince's Mansion was blown into ruins, and the riddled mansion seemed likely to collapse at any time.
"Crack!"
Pushing aside the rubble and building debris that were pressing down on the barrier, Lu Xiao dispersed to defend the barrier and teleported the four people present to the courtyard of the Prince's Mansion.
Being hit by the explosive tide of magic, the original beautiful courtyard scenery in the prince's palace has naturally disappeared.
The picturesque pavilion collapsed under the impact of the aftermath of the explosion, and rocks fell into the pool below the pavilion, polluting the originally clear pool into turbidity.
Dugu Ningke, who was at the center of the explosion, left nothing behind. Yuwen Tuo, who was in a daze, even deceived himself into thinking that she just escaped using some kind of magic.
Lu Xiao had been using eagle vision to monitor the last moment before the explosion. Dugu Ningke was indeed dead, but her soul escaped from the self-destruction and was quietly put into Fuxi Qin by Lu Xiao.
Now is not the time, Lu Xiao decided to wait until everything has settled before telling Yuwen Tuo about the matter.
After checking the three gates on the west side, Yongzhen rushed to meet Lu Xiao in front of the princess's mansion.
After receiving Lu Xiao's questioning look, she realized something was wrong in the atmosphere and did not speak. She just shook her head slightly.
'As expected, you didn't find it, then...'
A trace of worry flashed in Lu Xiao's eyes, 'It seems that the process of going to the Babel Tower to arrange the Void Formation may not be so smooth sailing.'
…
Let’s not mention the Babel Tower incident. After Yuwen Tuo’s reckless actions are over, the first thing he has to face is Yang Guang’s anger.
When Yang Guangda learned that Dugu Ningke was dead, he was furious and even threatened to let Yuwen Tuo be buried with his good niece.
Yuwen Tuo was not well-connected in the court, and many flatterers who had been reprimanded by Yuwen Tuo were waiting to see the fun.
Thinking of Yuwen Tuo's past achievements, Yang Guang gave up the idea of executing him after calming down.
However, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided.
Just when Yang Guang was thinking about how to deal with Yuwen Tuo, the Taishi of the Sui Dynasty calmly took the initiative to resign to Yang Guang.
"Your Majesty, Yuwen Tuo did disobey the emperor's order in this operation. Without heavy punishment, it is not enough to demonstrate the legal system of the Sui Dynasty."
Taking out the grand master's official seal that had been prepared for a long time, Yuwen Tuo, who looked quite tired, raised it above his head amidst the commotion of the ministers in the court.
"Please allow the guilty minister to resign from all public offices, leave the Sui Kingdom and never return. I only hope that Your Majesty will allow me to use the Babel Tower before leaving the country."
