Juzi's beautiful eyes flickered with a hint of worry, "Qian Yu, assassinating a Titled Douluo, you..."
Upon hearing this, Qian Yu reached out to stroke Juzi's hair, "Don't worry, if it's just a Titled Douluo, I should be able to kill him within five minutes!"
Xu Tianran also opened his mouth to say, "It's not difficult for the master to kill a Titled Douluo, but we must still be cautious. The palace where the Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire resides is also a level 9 soul tool!"
It could be said that like father, like son, both chose to turn their own palaces into soul tools...
It was to guard against unforeseen events, but faced with truly terrifying powerhouses, it was just a matter of dying sooner or later.
After listening to Xu Tianran's words, Juzi's heart calmed down...
But she couldn't shake off the weird feeling she had...
...
Lying in bed, Qian Yu's eyes slowly opened, revealing a cold and icy glint...
Perhaps it was this chilliness that roused Juzi from her sleep as well...
Juzi hugged Qian Yu's chest, blinked her beautiful eyes, glanced out the window at the sky, and asked, "Is it time to make a move?"
Qian Yu nodded in response, "Mhm!"
...
At this moment, within the Imperial Palace Great Hall...
The Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire, dressed in his imperial robe, was discussing with an elder how to plan for the development of the Sun-Moon Empire...
The Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire's eyes gleamed with a sinister light as he said, "Elder Min, our soul tool technology has now become very grand, far surpassing other empires"
"All we need is to wait until our soldiers are fully equipped with soul tools, then we can make a move on the other great empires."
The elder known as Elder Min replied gravely, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I think this matter..."
But before he could finish speaking, a soldier hurried in, bowed deeply, and reported, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has a matter to report."
The Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire narrowed his eyes. He knew all too well his son's ruthless and merciless nature, so even as the emperor, he was very vigilant towards him, which is why he had always been quietly depleting his accumulated power.
Elder Min beside him nodded slowly...
Seeing Elder Min nod, the emperor felt reassured...
He said in an icy tone, "Invite the Crown Prince in."
The soldier nodded, "Yes!"
Then he quickly got up and went out to relay the message...
Soon after, Xu Tianran, who had been waiting outside, slowly walked in, saying respectfully to the Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire, "Father Emperor."
The Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire's tone was cold as he asked, "Tianran, what brings you here so late at night?"
Xu Tianran then stood up, and started speaking as if he had significant news, "Father Emperor, I have an important matter to report! It's about soul tools!"
Elder Min raised an eyebrow but remained silent, quietly watching the exchange between the two...
A chill filled the face of the Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire as he said coldly, "Soul tools? Tianran, aren't these matters out of your hands? Or are you saying, you want to replace me now?"
Indeed, he had the intention to pass the throne to Xu Tianran, otherwise, he would not have appointed him as the Crown Prince.
Although the latter's nature is ruthless, such a temperament to become emperor was not a bad thing!
But, it was only meant to happen after he had lived out his natural life!
The current Xu Tianran is not yet fit to reach for the throne!
Xu Tianran shook his head to explain, "You have misunderstood my intention, Father Emperor. Please look at this."
With that, he slowly took something out of his storage soul tool...
In a flash, Elder Min decisively stepped in front of the Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire, his body erupting with the terrifying aura of a Titled Douluo...
The Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire narrowed his eyes, looking at the soul tool in Xu Tianran's hand, puzzled, "This is a soul tool?"
Xu Tianran pressed the button on the soul tool and a few strands of a smile played on his lips, "Indeed, Father Emperor, this is indeed a level 9 soul tool."
The next moment, the soul tool in his hand unleashed a massive ripple, which enveloped the entire imperial palace, and swiftly shielded off all the Soul Power Aura...
Elder Min's pupils shrank as he warned, "Your Majesty the Emperor, that's a Shielding Type Soul Guidance Device!"
The Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire angrily exclaimed, "Tianran, what the hell are you planning to do?"
Xu Tianran sneered, "Of course, to kill all of you..."
Then, he slowly bent down and said, "Master!"
Upon hearing Xu Tianran's words, both the Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire and Elder Min's hearts skipped a beat, "Master??"
In front of Xu Tianran, a grayish-white swirl of flames began to solidify...
A cold-faced Qian Yu stepped out from it...
The next moment, behind him, the Netherworld Angel, which could fully encompass the great hall, was released decisively, its grayish-white flames mixing with the endless evil aura, making the surroundings look like hell itself...
Below his feet, eight dazzling golden soul rings suddenly appeared...
Terrible oppressive force swept out in all directions...
Feeling the terrifying power released by Qian Yu, and seeing the eight golden soul rings under his feet...
Elder Min couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat off his forehead...
Such terrifying oppressive force, could it really be coming from just a Soul Douluo?
The vigilant Elder Min quickly released his own Martial Soul...
A white crane illusion, several dozen meters in size, slowly materialized behind him, its numerous pristine feathers adding a sense of divinity to it, but if one's gaze moved downward...
They would see clearly that this white crane had three legs...
It was indeed the Martial Soul of the Three-legged White Crane!
The Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire behind him was filled with a deep intent to kill, "Tianran, you actually dare to conspire with an evil Soul Master to assassinate me! Elder Min, show no mercy! Kill them all!"
From the moment Xu Tianran conspired with the evil Soul Master to assassinate him, he had already resolved to take him down...
Elder Min, with a grave expression, said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, the power of this evil Soul Master is too terrifying!"
The Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire was shocked, "What? Elder Min, this guy is merely a Soul Douluo, how could he possibly be a match for you?"
Xu Tianran interjected as a reminder, "Master, that Titled Douluo's Martial Soul is the Three-legged White Crane, which is extremely agile."
Qian Yu gave Xu Tianran a cold look, which made the latter feel as if he had plunged into an ice cellar, and he bowed his head, saying nothing more...
Immediately after, the first soul ring at his feet lit up...
First soul skill, Nether Curse!
From behind Qian Yu, eyes of the Netherworld Angel flashed with a terrifying black gleam akin to the abyss, and from it, a black beam of light shot out rapidly...
Elder Min's pupils condensed, and he decisively pushed the Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire away...
Then, the fifth soul ring under his feet lit up!
Fifth soul skill, White Crane Shield!
No sooner had he spoken than a layer of what seemed to be an extremely solid golden shield explosively emerged around him!
Looking at the incoming beam, Elder Min inwardly thought, "It should be able to block it..."
"Bang!" before he could finish his thought, the black beam pierced through the shield and struck him...
"What?? It can ignore defense!"
Elder Min cried out in shock as his body was knocked back several steps by the huge force of the impact...
He quickly examined his body, but there wasn't a single area that had taken any damage...
Furrowing his brows, Elder Min thought to himself, "No damage, so was it still blocked by my shield after all?"
But in the next moment, his expression drastically changed...
The Soul Power in his body began to be devoured crazily!!
