Xu Sheng withdrew his oppressive aura and then watched Du Gu Bo with a smiling gaze...
The latter slowly climbed up from the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth...
This Xu Sheng had actually injured him just with his oppressive aura! How terrifying must he be??
And those nine crimson hundred-thousand-year soul rings beneath his feet!
What was going on?
Even with all of Martial Soul Hall's capabilities, it was impossible for one person to have nine hundred-thousand-year soul rings!!!
Facing this terrifying power, Du Gu Bo, who was now in despair, began to smile bitterly. He had a feeling that he might be killed by this man before he could even use his ninth soul skill!
He sighed, "I know I can't escape, but Xu Sheng, could I ask you for a favor?"
Xu Sheng glanced at him and said indifferently, "Speak!"
Whether to speak or not was one thing; whether to agree or not was another.
Du Gu Bo said earnestly, "Could you please tell my granddaughter, Dugu Yan, to live on properly..."
He was not afraid of dying, what he feared was that after his death, his granddaughter Dugu Yan would be without support. With her capricious nature, the future would likely be grim!
The Serpent Spear shouted coldly upon hearing this, "Old poison! Who are you trying to deceive for sympathy?!!"
Elder Ci Tun also sneered, "Do you think anyone will fall for your trick? If you end your own life right here, Martial Soul Hall can guarantee that no one will touch your granddaughter. Do you dare??"
Xue Qinghe quietly looked at Du Gu Bo, showing no reaction...
Upon hearing Elder Ci Tun's words, Du Gu Bo gazed deeply at Xu Sheng with his dark green pupils, then, the seventh soul ring at his feet lit up brightly, "Seventh soul skill! Bi Lin Snake Emperor!!"
The Serpent Spear and Elder Ci Tun hastily warned Xu Sheng, "Be careful!"
Xu Sheng still did not make any move, silently watching Du Gu Bo release his seventh soul skill...
The next moment, the Biphosphorous Snake Emperor behind Du Gu Bo opened its huge maw, its two blood-red fangs bit into Du Gu Bo, and then swallowed him whole...
The huge Biphosphorous Snake Emperor that had just devoured Du Gu Bo let out a few tears from its dark green vertical pupils...
Then, Du Gu Bo, with his eyes closed tight, slowly fell from the sky to the cold ground...
The death of Du Gu Bo made the Biphosphorous Snake Emperor disperse into pale blue particles that vanished into thin air...
The Serpent Spear Douluo pursed his lips in shock, "This... the old poison... is he serious?? He actually let his own Martial Soul kill him..."
Elder Ci Tun swallowed hard and said with awe, "This old poison was a real man; his pride was that strong!"
He had only made a joke moments ago, but Du Gu Bo actually took his own life! And to be killed by his own Martial Soul, which had been with him for so many years...
How much courage did it take to do that?
Xu Sheng looked indifferently at Du Gu Bo's corpse on the ground and then shifted his gaze to Xue Qinghe...
The Serpent Spear and Elder Ci Tun noticed Xu Sheng's action and instantly became alert, "Kid! What do you want to do?"
Xue Qinghe, fearing a misunderstanding, spoke up, "Elders need not worry, Xu Sheng is one of us from Martial Soul Hall, and moreover, he's the Pope's disciple."
Elders Ci Tun and the Serpent Spear nodded their heads in acknowledgment, "So it is, who would have thought that even the disciples of His Holiness have become so powerful!"
Not just powerful, but able to demoralize a level-93 veteran Titled Douluo with just his oppressive aura!
```
Especially after they had just seen that Soul Ring Configuration, nine hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings; even the Grand Elder Qian Dao Liu, a level-99 Ultimate Douluo, might not be this terrifying!
At that moment, Xu Sheng turned to look towards Hulena and Evil Moon outside the imperial palace…
After receiving information from Xu Sheng, the two slowly walked into the imperial palace…
Seeing Hulena and Evil Moon enter, Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, couldn't help but frown, her gaze firmly fixed on the former, "Hulena?? Why would she be with Xu Sheng?"
She naturally ignored Evil Moon…
Seeing Qian Renxue's gaze fixated on herself as if harboring hostility…
And it seemed to be because of Xu Sheng next to her…
Hulena narrowed her eyes and slowly leaned towards Xu Sheng, draping her arm over his, "Xu Sheng, what are we going to do now?"
Seeing his sister's intimate manner with Xu Sheng, Evil Moon felt a surge of irritation in his heart, roaring inwardly, "Sister!! Are you stirring up trouble now!? Haven't you seen there are two Elders from the Martial Soul Hall above us??"
Elder Ci Tun nudged Elder She Mao and asked in confusion, "She Mao, isn't this girl another Holy Daughter appointed by His Holiness, the Pope?"
Supporting his chin, Elder She Mao pondered, "It should be! The other Holy Daughter's Martial Soul is a Demon Fox, and judging by the Charm emanating from this girl, it should not be wrong."
Xue Qinghe glanced at them with cold pupils and said indifferently, "Elder She Mao, Elder Ci Tun, could you please leave us for now?"
The two hesitated, "But…"
Xue Qinghe's gaze lingered on Hulena, who was still holding onto Xu Sheng's arm, suppressing the turbulent emotions within, "With Xu Sheng here, nothing will happen."
After exchanging glances, Elder Snake Spear and Elder Ci Tun nodded, "All right? Holy Daughter, if anything happens, just call for us!"
They immediately vanished like phantoms…
Purplish light began to shimmer on Xue Qinghe's forehead as she reverted to her true appearance…
With elegant steps, she slowly approached Xu Sheng…
Evil Moon focused intently on Qian Renxue, muttering to himself, "Hiss… This Xue Qinghe is actually a woman in disguise!? And that attractiveness…"
She was the polar opposite of his sister, one cold and pure, the other enchanting and voluptuous…
He could not choose the latter because of blood ties, but this one ahead! Perhaps there was a chance!
Even the usually rational Evil Moon now understood why Flame acted so dumbfounded regarding his sister…
It was like the woman before him, whose every casual move seemed to attract him constantly…
Evil Moon stepped forward towards Qian Renxue with a handsome smile, saying, "Hello, I am…"
Before he could finish, Qian Renxue merely swept him with a cool glance and walked past towards Xu Sheng...
Evil Moon's resentful gaze clung to Xu Sheng as he gritted his teeth, "Damn Xu Sheng, you've taken my sister, and now are you even going to take away the woman I've fallen for at first sight?"
Hulena, still clinging to Xu Sheng's arm, felt an alarm going off at the bottom of her heart when she saw Qian Renxue approach…
Qian Renxue looked at Xu Sheng and revealed a serene smile, "Xu Sheng, it's been so long, and you still haven't come to see me!"
Xu Sheng first glanced at Hulena clinging to his arm, then looked at Qian Renxue before him, smiling and greeting him…
Especially the smile in her pupils that didn't seem feigned…
"Something is quite off here…"
