With a loud "bang", the spikes in Lan Kong's hand once again left a huge hole in the open space.
To be honest, this kind of power is really terrifying - if you were hit by it unexpectedly, not only would your body be torn into pieces, you would probably be chopped into meat paste.
This was also one of the reasons why Lan Kong was able to stand firm in the Eight-Headed Divine Sect. Apart from anything else, at least he was really good at fighting.
Although the abilities of pure power amplification and frenzy seem very simple, from a certain perspective, it is precisely because of their simplicity that they are omnipotent.
Just like the so-called "hero who does it for fun" who can crush a pineapple with one punch, if a person's strength can easily crush the enemy, then even the most bizarre ability will be defeated by the supreme power.
But "foreknowledge" is not in the sequence.
Why is it said that "foreseeing the future" is an ability that needs to be patched up and shackled in countless works? It is because if it is not restrained, then the user of this ability will be too mysterious and unpredictable.
For example, now.
When Lan Kong's next attack just brushed the corner of Bai Ling's clothes, the giant finally couldn't help but break his defense.
"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!"
As if the giant had suffered some ultimate insult, disgusting yellow pus began to flow out of his body again, making his face look even more hideous and ugly.
Blood continued to flow from the wound, covering his armor with a layer of scarlet red, which shone brightly in the sunlight and reflected the red emblem.
Lankong's "family crest" emerged.
This also means that he was extremely angry, and even the emblem from his previous life was still on his armor.
It was once recorded in the diary that Lan Kong, with his "family crest" revealed, was even strong enough to temporarily compete with Hong Lian!
This is the emblem that the generals of Lankong Genyuan branded on their weapons. If they go to war with this emblem, they will be invincible and have their troops follow them! When Bailing saw Lankong reveal his family emblem, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"interesting."
The diary did not have Lankong's family crest drawn on it, perhaps because no one in the future would be able to take a complete picture of it. Therefore, Bailing did not understand the information contained in this family crest.
So when he actually saw this emblem, Bai Ling couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
Because this emblem looks a bit like the style of an island country.
The warriors of the island nation in the Warring States period valued practicality over meaning, so most of their emblems were rather bizarre. And right now, Lankong's emblem also fits this definition quite well.
Considering the legend of Lankong's birth and the meaning of the "Nine-Headed Divine Religion"...
A nine-headed snake god whose origins seem to come from an island nation...
If you look closely, you can always find a lot of interesting information.
Walking slowly in the mist, Bai Ling thought with his hands behind his back: "I just suspected it before, but now it seems that the god worshipped by the Nine-Headed God is the Yamata no Orochi."
So, did the nine monsters who founded this religion want to create a living "Yamata no Orochi"? Or did they know some secrets and want to use the identity of "Yamata no Orochi" to achieve their own goals?
But now that "Honglian" is dead, under normal circumstances, one of Yaqi's heads has been cut off. However, in the original timeline, the Nine-Headed Divine Cult did not decline or retreat, but instead grew stronger...
In other words, they just want to borrow the name of "Yaki"?
"The next three months will be their Snake God Festival. The diary says that they need to find Jiansu for the Snake God Festival," Bai Ling thought, "Jiansu should be Susanoo. If he really wants to use Yaki, then why would he go to find Susanoo who killed Yaki?"
It seems that the secrets of the Nine-Headed Divine Religion are hidden very deeply.
Thinking of this, Bai Ling couldn't help but shook his head slightly: "It seems that I must participate in the Snake God Festival in three months."
No matter what, even if it is not for the purpose of finding out the hidden secrets of the Eight-Headed Divine Cult, but just to trip them up, Bai Ling must intervene.
However, I don't have to go there in person at that time.
The people in the Countermeasures Bureau must be very happy to cause trouble for their "old rival" the Eight-Headed Divine Religion.
What Bai Ling can be sure of is that the Countermeasures Bureau will definitely pay more attention to the Nine-Headed Divine Religion than to the "Ming Zhou" organization which has not had any major problems so far.
They knew of the existence of the "Snake God Festival", but they didn't know where the festival was held every time - the monsters of the Nine-Headed Cult were very cunning and always hid very deeply, so the Countermeasures Bureau always came up empty-handed.
But this time it's different.
The diary records the time of the Snake God Festival this year, which is the fifteenth year of the new calendar.
At that time, we just need to convince the Countermeasures Bureau that this place is real, and then we can follow our boss to give those scumbags a good beating.
Thinking of this, Bai Ling couldn't help but chuckle.
Then he noticed that Lan Kong's spikes suddenly swung out again, without knowing when! But this time, his target was very clear and the direction was extremely precise!
It's coming towards Bailing!
Bai Ling raised an eyebrow.
He lightly brushed past the attack, and the mist was dispersed by the blow.
“I found you…!”
Lan Kong's face twisted together: "Although I don't know how you guessed my attack in advance, it is obvious that this kind of guess is not omnipotent."
"Although my vision is blocked and my hearing is affected by the fog, my sense of smell has not become weaker, but stronger!"
Lan Kong's voice was extremely cheerful: "I only need to smear a little body fluid on your body, and then I can use my sense of smell to find your location - although you can predict it in advance, but you yourself... are too weak! So weak that if I react faster than you, then you won't be able to dodge at all!"
"And my blood has already flowed throughout the entire space. The soles of your shoes are now all covered in my blood!"
Even though he looked mysterious and unpredictable, he was still just a human being after all! As long as he was a human being, his power had an upper limit. Lan Kong knew this better than anyone else!
So now, it's "Whack-a-Mole" time! Looking at the oncoming attack, Bai Ling's expression did not change at all.
The next second, the spike came with a whistling sound and hit Bai Ling's face heavily, only a few centimeters away from Bai Ling's face!
Soon, this damn guy will be smashed to pieces!
Thinking of this, Lan Kong couldn't help but feel refreshed.
He did not doubt his victory. This guy had been on the defensive since he came here, perhaps because he was very weak in close combat. And it happened that Lan Kong was very good at close combat! He only needed to get close to him and he could tear this annoying guy to pieces!
This is what Lan Kong thought in his heart and what he expected.
However, this expectation only lasted for a brief moment.
When the spike stopped a few centimeters above Bailing, Lan Kong was horrified to find that he could not move.
What's happening?!
He stared at his hands with wide eyes.
It was only then that he realized that without him noticing, his hands were covered with... grayish-white mist!
The mists were like ropes, tightly wrapped around Lan Kong's body, like thin ropes, binding him tightly.
He didn't notice it before because he was far away from Bai Ling, and the "knots" made of fog hadn't been tied tightly. However, when he got close to Bai Ling's face, these tiny knots were gradually threaded, tied tightly, and tightened...
Lan Kong was like a fish caught in a net, unable to move.
Are you trapped?
Trapped by this guy? Lan Kong wanted to exert force, but found that he couldn't exert any strength at all.
This is the characteristic of the nameless fog - its intensity is related to the intensity of consciousness.
With the blessing of the sea of consciousness, the fog was so strong that even the frantic Lan Kong couldn't break free!
This guy… wasn’t just anticipating his own attacks from the beginning.
He was predicting his own route, and then specially roping himself, until finally... closing the net! It can be said that when Lan Kong stepped into the mist, the net had already been set by him.
As long as he was still in the fog, as long as he was still moving, as long as Bering was still keeping his eyes open and watching.
Then there will be only countless knots on Lan Kong's way forward.
It would be fine if we stayed away from Bering.
But once he got too close to Bai Ling, even standing in front of Bai Ling.
The knot will be locked tightly, trapping him directly! This shows how terrifying the predictive ability is.
Not only can you anticipate the opponent's attack in advance, but you can also set traps for the opponent in advance. If it is covert enough, you can even do it without anyone noticing.
And standing in the distance, he watched with contempt as his opponent danced in the trap he had set for him, as if he was watching the most ridiculous drama.
Standing in front of the giant, looking at the spikes sticking to his face, Bai Ling chuckled.
He touched the spikes with his hands, and said in a soothing and gentle voice: "It's really fun to watch you dancing in the dense web. It's really enjoyable for me."
"If you can't be a monster, then being a performing animal in a circus will surely bring you good results."
As he spoke, he passed by Lan Kong.
The figures of the two people passed each other, and Bai Ling's figure seemed so small under the huge figure of Lan Kong.
However, at the moment when the windbreaker brushed against Lan Kong's body, the gray mist gathered instantly! Countless fine threads tightly wrapped around Lan Kong, and at the same time penetrated into the giant's body little by little, like a crab tightly locked with a rubber band during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Then the next second, the mist penetrated Lan Kong's body.
With a "beep", one of the giant's arms fell to the ground.
With the dull sound of his arm falling into the dust, Bai Ling stood beside Ding Yan.
At this moment, Ding Yan looked very bad, his face was pale, his brows were furrowed, and his face was covered with sweat.
He probably fainted from the pain and hasn't woken up yet.
Looking at the unconscious Ding Yan, Bai Ling felt a little complicated.
Although I had anticipated a similar outcome, I have to admit that watching someone I know being tortured is not something that can be simply explained away as “it’s all in the past.”
But there is nothing we can do about it.
The future world is changing strangely, and the world is like a purgatory. Even in the original timeline, these people have all fought their way out of a sea of blood and corpses. Their personalities and natures determine that even if Bai Ling does not guide or interfere with them, they will still walk on a bloody road in the future.
But perhaps under Bering's guidance, they could walk with less pain and fewer worries.
Although saying this may be self-consolation, but since we have come this far, even if it is self-consolation, we need to sort out our feelings and move on.
Bai Ling picked Ding Yan up from the ground with great effort and put him in the car as smoothly as possible.
In addition, the two kidnappers who had also fainted were also placed in the car.
But before leaving, Bai Ling did nothing. He tied up the hands and feet of the two kidnappers, so that he would be kidnapped one day.
After doing all this, Bai Ling looked with complicated eyes at the woman in the back seat of the car, whose hands and feet were also tangled together and who was looking at him in fear at this moment.
That was Sun Yuanrang’s girlfriend, Tian Xiaoling.
To be honest, Bai Ling and Tian Xiaoling are not very familiar with each other, and their relationship is not very good.
Not to mention that Sun Yuanrang is now working for Bai Ling. He is obsessed with research and has no interest in love. He didn't even know that his girlfriend was kidnapped.
Like Ding Yan, he also felt very guilty towards Tian Xiaoling.
As an ordinary person, I was ignored by my boyfriend and went out to play alone, and when I came back, I was kidnapped...
It’s a bit pitiful to think so.
With a barely perceptible sigh, Bai Ling said softly, "It's all right now, Miss Tian."
"I will take you back safely later. Please be patient now."
Although her mouth was sealed, Tian Xiaoling still opened her eyes and nodded silently after hearing Bai Ling's voice.
It can be seen that she is really strong. Even when she was locked in the car alone, she did not give up hope. Now she is trying hard to calm herself down. After confirming that Bai Ling is not a threat (mainly because the two robbers next to her fainted), she also actively cooperated with Bai Ling's suggestions.
She is a very brave girl.
After giving all the instructions, Bai Ling finally promised that he would come back soon.
Then he closed the car door.
Then, Bai Ling slowly walked back to Lan Kong's side.
Bai Ling did not kill Lan Kong.
Although Lan Kong is an absolute madman and scum, with bad character and crazy personality, he is undoubtedly the enemy of humanity.
But he didn't do it.
On the one hand, it is because he cannot be killed. Killing Lan Kong will have a profound impact on the Eight-Headed Divine Cult. It may even cause the Eight-Headed Divine Cult to start their "Snake God Festival" ahead of schedule, thus causing greater damage.
Therefore, Lan Kong cannot be killed for the time being. Just like Red Spider, he can only be saved for later.
At the same time, another point is that Bai Ling wants to keep Lan Kong because he is still useful.
He needs Lan Kong to go back and spread the names of "Ming Zhou" and "The Prophet".
Based on Lan Kong's behavior after Bai Ling introduced himself this time, he could probably guess that the witch probably didn't publicize her affairs in a big way, which was not acceptable.
What Bering needs is fame, both in the real world and in the alien society.
Only in this way can he lay a solid foundation for Ming Zhou and make Ming Zhou a well-deserved "savior organization" in the future, rather than the current makeshift team.
So far, the impact of the alien species has only been minor, and humans can barely handle it. But three months later, when a more powerful battle arrives, the current Mingri may not be able to survive the first wave.
You must have sufficient background and fame.
And Lan Kong is the mouthpiece he intends to release.
With this guy's personality, the news will definitely leak out due to his injuries after he returns. By then, no matter what, the name of "Prophet" will continue to spread.
Of course, Bering knew that if this kind of fame expanded, he and the people around him might face unexpected dangers. But he didn't care - because he had the corresponding solution.
This is also another core point of the "Guardian's Shield" plan, and it is also part of the information that he will explain to Ding Yan and others later. It is also a plan that Bai Ling had conceived before.
As a prophet, he would ensure the safety of everyone in the Daytime. If he couldn't do that, then there was no point in "saving the world".
However, it was not possible to realize it before due to lack of strength. Now that he has obtained the Nameless Mist, Bering finally has the capital to implement the "Guardian's Shield" plan.
So Bai Ling did not kill Lan Kong.
"But that doesn't mean I won't do anything for you."
Looking at the blue sky that was entangled in the mist and looked like a piece of meat.
Bai Ling's eyes gradually turned cold.
No matter what the roots of Lan Kong’s past were, he is now “evil”, a monster, an alien, and an enemy.
What's more, he also attacked his friends and people he was familiar with.
He has too many sins that need to be atonement. From a human perspective, even sentencing Lan Kong to death now would not be excessive. It could even be said to be a relief to the people, as it would save countless lives in advance.
Therefore, Bai Ling would not feel any psychological burden when taking action.
Bai Ling gently placed his hands on Lan Kong's body and said in a gentle voice, "I know very well what you are afraid of. Whether it's you or someone else."
"And so, as I just said, I will give you the Eight Headed Divine Religion a small gift."
Taking out a white glove from his handbag, Bering put it on his hand, then pulled the hem of the glove tight.
“This gift starts with you.”
After saying this, Bai Ling smiled.
He poked his finger hard into Lan Kong's eye socket.
