Xu Fu's transmission to the four Titled Douluo was inaudible to others, but it didn't escape Tang San and Gu Yuena's ears. Even Xiao Wu, using the fluctuations in the air and space, could hear their conversation clearly. To the three of them, the whispered conversation among the five sounded just as conspicuous as a loud plot.

"Hehe, San Ge, it seems that guy wants to self-destruct and take you down with him," Xiao Wu remarked with a smile, finding their plan absurd.

While the power of a Titled Douluo's self-destruction was indeed formidable, it was a mere fantasy to think it could kill Tang San, who had cultivated the Jade Bone Golden Muscle Divine skill . Even at level ninety-eight, it was not feasible.

Moreover, whether they could even get close to Tang San was another unknown.

As long as Xiao Wu's spatial domain was active, she could create spatial fluctuations around them, effectively keeping them rooted in place and unable to move any significant distance.

"Self-destructing for the emperor… If it were for some dream, ideal, or even love, I might respect them a bit more," Tang San said, raising his pinky finger and lightly tapping his ear. "But they're only doing it to help their emperor conquer this land and remove me as an obstacle, intending to perish together with me…"

"That's too crazy!"

Huo Wu chuckled lightly and said, "Hehe, they're capable of slaughtering entire cities. What wouldn't they do?"

Slaughtering cities?

Tang San didn't respond.

In the original text, Dong Gu Bo also engaged in city-wide slaughter, but he felt some guilt about it. After all, the poison was something he couldn't retract, and Tang Hao's later comforting words, which included statements like "After all, they were all from the Spirit Hall," were rather extreme.

Undoubtedly, it was madness.

But compared to the Sun Moon Empire's madness, Tang Hao's twisted personality was due to personal hatred, which was rare and not too concerning.

The Sun Moon Empire's actions, however, were truly extreme.

One person's madness versus a nation's madness.

It was a completely different concept!

Buzz—

Just as Ge Long was about to issue an order to fire, the entire sky seemed to freeze, with an invisible force pressuring everyone from the Tiandou and New Tiandou Federations.

Tang San's aura exploded instantly, pushing back against this invisible force. The intense collision created rolling shockwaves in the sky, leaving everyone stunned by the sheer power.

"Huh?"

A youthful voice sounded.

Tang San looked up to see a woman, whose appearance rivaled that of Xiao Wu, stepping down from the void near Xiaohai City's coastline. Barefoot, she created ripples in the air as she walked, accompanied by fifteen Titled Douluo.

"What an interesting young fellow. I didn't expect to find someone on this continent who, even at the Soul Saint stage, can match my aura so closely, and so young."

"What's your name?"

The woman's beauty was striking as she floated in the air, her voice soft and melodious, like a sixteen-year-old maiden. The onlookers were in awe but dared not look her directly in the eyes.

Such an aura! Such power!

There was no doubt that she was a peerless Douluo!

"As an uninvited guest, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?" Tang San's body was surrounded by four black and three red soul rings. His aura exploded in an instant, causing the woman to take three steps back.

Taking advantage of this moment, Tang San began to merge his soul rings, which were floating behind him in a sequential arrangement.

"Perhaps it's my mistake," the woman's eyes showed a hint of caution. Not understanding what Tang San was doing, she introduced herself, "I am Yu Hongchen, a worshiper of the Sun Moon Empire. Favored by His Majesty, I have achieved this level. I came here sensing that the empire's adventurers were in trouble, intending to lead a part of my team here in advance. I didn't expect our adventurer team to encounter you."

"A fine adventurer team!" Tang San sneered. The merging of his soul rings was complete, and they rotated in unison, ready to activate. "You should know that your people slaughtered the citizens of Xiaohai City and began bombarding the city with soul guide cannons upon arrival."

"Is this something adventurers would do?"

"Then, if we go to your Sun Moon Continent in the future and engage in killing, burning, and looting, should we just say 'we're an adventurer team' and get a free pass?"

"There's no such thing in this world."

Yu Hongchen's patience wore thin. "In my three hundred years of life, this is the first time I've met someone who dares to speak so boldly to me. Boy, your soul ring configuration is indeed terrifying, but you're still just a Soul Saint. I see you have some talent. How about surrendering to us? You could be promoted, enjoy power, wealth, and beauty. What do you say?"

Ge Long swallowed nervously, worried that Tang San might agree, as such a response from a peerless Douluo would undoubtedly be trustworthy.

"Sorry, but I think I already have all that," Tang San said with a calm expression, then suddenly smiled with a playful look. "How about you surrender to me instead? I could offer you power, wealth, beauty, and even an opportunity to break through to the hundred-level realm. What do you think?"

"Dare to mock me?" Yu Hongchen ordered the nearby Titled Douluo, "Take him down."

"Yes!"

The fifteen Titled Douluo, along with Xu Fu and his four Titled Douluo companions, a total of twenty, charged toward Tang San and his forces, as well as the tens of thousands of troops behind them.

If these twenty Titled Douluo were to join the army, it would be like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. The Tiandou and New Tiandou Federations' soldiers would be powerless to resist, only facing slaughter.

Ge Long's expression changed, and he began to reconsider his options.

After all, a Titled Douluo is not someone they can withstand. If even one of them joins the battle, it would be over... Titled Douluos should be dealing with other Titled Douluos!

These Sun Moon Empire invaders are indeed barbarians, completely disregarding the rules of war!

"Lord Count Silver Blue, Lady Hu Liena isn't here. Should we retreat for now?" Ge Long suggested.

"Indeed, we can withdraw for the time being," Ning Fengzhi agreed. "We can have Lady Ju and Uncle Gu temporarily hold them off. Once we return to Soul Sea City, we can borrow the Soul Imprint Throne from Hu Liena."

To them, without the Soul Imprint Throne, even with Tang San's formidable strength, he would still be just a level ninety-nine Soul Master, facing the twenty Titled Douluo of the enemy.

"Twenty of them."

Tang San suddenly smiled and took a step forward, instantly entering the space occupied by the twenty Titled Douluo.

"What?!"

"How did he get here?"

"Teleportation!"

At this moment, Tang San's entire body emitted a silver-blue glow, and immense energy exploded from within, forming a silver-blue battle armor on his body.

Martial Soul True Body Armor!

Blue Silver Emperor True Body Armor!

The vast starlight centered on Tang San illuminated the sky within a radius of ten thousand meters, creating a spiral-shaped energy nebula.

Nineteen of the twenty Titled Douluo were immediately struck by the starry energy, their flesh dissolving, souls disintegrating, and even their soul bones shattering into fragments, returning to the energy cycle of the Douluo planet.

Brilliant!

Beautiful!

And dangerous!

The one who survived was Xu Fu, but he was in no better shape, his wounds and soul power, which hadn't fully recovered, erupted once more.

But at this moment, no one lamented the death of the nineteen Titled Douluo, nor did they pay attention to the surviving Xu Fu. Everyone's gaze was fixed on the center of that starry sea.

Even the level ninety-nine Yu Hongchen was momentarily stunned by the immense energy, forgetting the deaths of the nineteen Titled Douluo caused by Tang San's Martial Soul True Body Armor.

When she regained her composure, her beautiful face twisted with rage. "Nineteen! These were all talents of the empire, and you dare—"

Swish!

Before she could finish her threat, the vast spiral-shaped energy nebula instantly converged into the silver-blue gem embedded in Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor True Body Armor, slowly rotating.

Tang San then stepped forward and was instantly in front of Yu Hongchen, punching her in the nose.

Crack!

The sound of a fractured nasal bone echoed as Yu Hongchen was thrown backward. Her brain nearly malfunctioned, and it wasn't until she had flown almost a kilometer that she regained her senses and stabilized herself in mid-air.

"You vile little brat! How dare you ruin my delicate nose!"

Yu Hongchen was nearly hysterical. No woman could accept having her appearance ruined, especially since she felt a violent soul power at the fracture of her nose, continuously destroying her bones and muscles, hindering her from healing the injury. "I will definitely kill you!"

In her fury, Yu Hongchen disregarded the injury to her nose and flew towards Tang San...

...

"Lady Yu Hongchen!"

On the battlefield, Xu Fu was horrified to see Yu Hongchen being knocked away by Tang San.

"Oh, almost forgot. You managed to survive by a fluke," Xiao Wu said, flexing her wrist. She turned to Huo Wu, Guang Ling, Yu Tianheng, and the others. "San Ge was too forceful just now and took care of the other Titled Douluo. This level ninety-eight opponent, who is still wounded, is probably only at the strength of a level ninety-one or ninety-two Titled Douluo now."

"Perfect. This will give us a chance to practice. What do you think?"

With Xiao Wu's strength, dealing with Titled Douluos above level ninety-five in full power mode wasn't much of a problem. For Yu Tianheng, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, Oslo, and Yu Feng, such an opponent was just right.

Yu Tianheng sharpened his dragon claws and said, "We can't compare to a monster like the team leader, but this injured opponent, we might be able to handle."

Yu Feng chuckled, rubbing his hands together. "I've never fought a Titled Douluo before."

Oslo also smiled. "Since you're ready to make a move, then I, an old friend, naturally can't just stand by. Otherwise, I'd really just be a cheerleader."

His words included the large group of soldiers behind them.

They had never fought such an absurd battle or such an easy one. It seemed like being a "cheerleader" was enough...
