Rocket Launcher

Faced with the ridicule from Qian Gu Nanfeng's subordinates, She Long was beyond furious.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Imperial Snake's Pride!"

Although Imperial Snake's Pride was just She Long's fourth soul skill, with the boost from other auxiliary soul skills, it was definitely his strongest attack.

She Long's eyes were filled with a fighting spirit. Even if he couldn't kill Qian Gu Nanfeng today, he would at least seriously injure him!

As the attack was about to reach him, Qian Gu Nanfeng remained as calm as ever, showing no concern.

A wicked smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "A petty trick."

Then, he summoned his martial soul: "Evil Dragon Staff."

At those words, a pitch-black staff, about 1.2 meters long and exuding a malevolent aura, appeared in Qian Gu Nanfeng's hand.

Looking at She Long, his gaze was full of disdain. "To deal with you, I don't even need to use a soul skill!"

With a step of his left foot, he moved as fast as lightning, so quick that the naked eye couldn't even capture his motion.

He charged toward She Long.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue, who was seated in a wheelchair, was secretly amazed.

She Long's speed rivaled that of an agility-type titled Douluo! How terrifying! And yet, he was merely a tool soul master.

Normally, tool soul masters could never compete with agility-types in terms of speed.

Facing Qian Gu Nanfeng head-on, She Long was even more shocked. He couldn't catch Qian Gu Nanfeng's speed at all!

To the naked eye, Qian Gu Nanfeng's ghostly movements left only an afterimage!

What kind of bizarre movement technique was this?

She Long's eyes widened, feeling flustered for a moment.

But his combat instincts remained sharp. His snake spear continued to thrust directly at Qian Gu Nanfeng.

The next moment.

"Pff!"

But it was She Long who spat blood.

With a sharp angle, Qian Gu Nanfeng had dodged She Long's attack and countered in a flash.

"Strength is only gained through rigorous training!"

"The hardships I endured to become an evil soul master far surpass yours, which is why you are no match for me."

Qian Gu Nanfeng's face remained expressionless as he shook his head at She Long.

She Long sneered, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Hmph, flaunting power gained through disgraceful means? I feel embarrassed for you!"

"You still don't get it."

Qian Gu Nanfeng's expression turned regretful as he slowly approached, his entire body surging with a fierce, bloody aura. Holding his Evil Dragon Staff high, he stared down at She Long and said, "In this world, only strength matters."

"Do you think evil soul masters pursue power just for the sake of it?"

Qian Gu Nanfeng chuckled. "If that were the case, the Spear Douluo wouldn't have fallen and become an evil soul master under my persuasion."

"I became an evil soul master to crush the heads of others in this unjust world, to crown myself with power and glory! To drag those who sit idle and useless down into the dust!"

As he spoke, Qian Gu Nanfeng mocked himself. "How could ants like you ever understand the aspirations of a soaring eagle? So, please, die."

With those words, Qian Gu Nanfeng unleashed his full aura.

The sheer pressure alone sent a chilling sense of doom through everyone.

She Long felt his scalp tingle. He knew Qian Gu Nanfeng was about to get serious.

"Your Highness, run quickly! I'll cover your retreat!" She Long shouted fiercely.

But in reality, these words weren't meant for Ye Tian. He just wanted Ye Tian to take Qian Renxue and escape as soon as possible.

Given Ye Tian's lowly status, dying here would be perfect.

At least it would prevent him from further harming Hu Liena.

But Qian Renxue, with her noble bloodline, absolutely couldn't fall here.

After all, Qian Dao Liu had invested heavily in training Qian Renxue. Her future achievements were expected to reach the level of an Ultimate Douluo at the very least.

She was practically the pillar of the Spirit Hall.

Therefore, Qian Renxue must not come to any harm.

She Long's loud shout had another purpose — to draw Bibi Dong's attention.

As Qian Renxue's mother, although Bibi Dong treated her with extreme coldness, even a tiger does not eat its cubs. She Long silently prayed that Bibi Dong wouldn't stand by and let Qian Renxue be killed by Qian Gu Nanfeng.

"You want to run? Not so easily!" Qian Gu Nanfeng furrowed his brows and rushed forward at high speed, intending to block their escape.

First, he would deal with Xue Qinghe and the large-chested girl in the wheelchair!

"Not until you get through me first!" She Long stepped forward, positioning himself between the wheelchair and Qian Gu Nanfeng.

Though he was unwilling to fight Qian Gu Nanfeng, he knew that if he didn't take action, he would no longer have a place in the Spirit Hall.

"Fine, I'll send you to hell first!"

Qian Gu Nanfeng gripped his Evil Dragon Staff with both hands. This time, he wasn't holding back.

Behind She Long, Ye Tian silently retreated.

But his pace was neither fast nor slow, just ordinary.

Even Qian Renxue, in the wheelchair, grew anxious and whispered, "Douluo She Long is buying us time, we should retreat faster!"

"No rush," Ye Tian smiled faintly, raising his hand and curling his index finger.

"No rush?"

Qian Renxue was briefly at a loss. She Long was risking his life to buy them time! If they missed this chance to escape, it would be absurd.

"Just sit back and watch," Ye Tian said calmly.

He was so composed because he had already set up a rocket launcher on the villa's rooftop.

He wasn't taking an uncalculated risk.

The operator on the rooftop had been holding binoculars, awaiting his command.

As soon as Ye Tian lowered his hand to give the signal, a streak of fire erupted from the villa's roof.

It was so fast that it surpassed the speed of sound before the naked eye could even catch it!

It continued to accelerate, reaching twice, three times, four times the speed of sound!

Given that Qian Gu Nanfeng was less than half a mile from the villa, the rocket would hit its target in less than half a second!

Even a Super Douluo couldn't detect danger from 500 meters away, let alone avoid it.

By the time Qian Gu Nanfeng reacted, the rocket was already upon him.

Even trying to dodge would be futile!

Not to mention, the rocket was equipped with an energy tracking system, locking onto the strongest nearby target!

With all these precautions, Ye Tian remained calm and unhurried.

The rocket itself wouldn't explode, but its core was made of high-density tungsten alloy.

At four times the speed of sound, the energy generated by the tungsten core could match the full power of an Ultimate Douluo's attack.

Unless the defender was also a level 99 Ultimate Douluo, they would surely die!

"Sigh, just like that, a few million gold soul coins are gone."

Ye Tian muttered to himself.

To be honest, he felt a bit pained.

But if he didn't test it, theoretical data would always remain just that — theoretical.

He wouldn't know if it could truly deal with a Super Douluo.

And relying on such an untested weapon for his safety would leave him sleepless at night.
