Chapter 2818: Determination_1
Xie Xie's eyes narrowed, "Of course, ever since you managed to escape by luck, you have been under our surveillance. I presume the other Elders of the Sea God Pavilion will soon arrive."
He said this only to scare the Ghost Emperor, to make him temporarily back off…
After all, in the last great battle, so many powerful beings gathered and were still unable to kill the Ghost Emperor. With only himself, there was no chance whatsoever!
Not to mention, he still had to protect Xue Yuntian, who was completely devoid of any fighting ability!
Upon hearing this, the Ghost Emperor immediately scoffed, "Hahahaha, it's truly laughable. Do you think such lies can deceive me?"
"Moreover, even if all the Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion were to come, it would just mean a few more corpses in this imperial palace!!"
Last time, it was because he had not fully mastered Divine Power and had been unable to inflict a killing blow despite exhausting himself!
But now it was different, he had fully understood Divine Power!
Xie Xie clenched the Light and Dark Dragon Dagger in his hand and gritted his teeth, "Damn it, it seems I can't fool him with just a few words; I've got no choice but to face him head-on."
Perhaps he could take Xue Yuntian and leave the Douling Empire, but everyone inside the imperial palace would hardly escape death!!
Just as he was about to make his move, the Ghost Emperor abruptly warned, "I advise you not to act rashly. Do you see the fellow lying over there?"
Xie Xie was startled for a moment and his gaze unconsciously turned to the old man with a tragic death…
The latter had completely lost his vitality, lying in a disorderly fashion on the ground with no part of his body intact…
Especially the dense wounds, which were daunting to behold!!
After withdrawing his gaze, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva…
He could already imagine the immense pain the old man had suffered at the time of his death!!
The Ghost Emperor clearly caught this moment and sneered, "What? Are you scared? How about this, you kill Xue Yuntian with your own hands, and I'll spare your life, how about it?"
Xie Xie heard this, without the slightest hesitation...
But Xue Yuntian beside him couldn't help but speak out, "Elder Xie, if I can choose how to die, I hope to die by your hand, and you need not feel any psychological pressure!"
If the Ghost Emperor were to catch him, who knew what pain he would endure!!
Even his soul wouldn't rest in peace!!
These words seemed to have touched a nerve, and he immediately turned his head and scolded Xue Yuntian, "Xue Yuntian, what nonsense are you talking about? Did I come all this way just to kill you?"
"If you really wish to die that much, go headbutt a wall right now!!"
Xue Yuntian was dumbfounded…
He did not expect the other party to speak with such a tone!!
There was not a hint of the demeanor of an Elder of the Sea God's Pavilion!!
However, when he deeply sensed the frustration behind the words, his eyes gradually firmed up…
"Elder Xie, if possible, please take care of this."
Xie Xie nodded slightly, "That's the spirit. Since I'm here, you should believe that you won't die here!!"
Seeing that the situation was not developing as he had imagined, the Ghost Emperor immediately lost his patience…
"I thought I would enjoy a satisfactory scene, but it seems there's no need for further words with you, prepare to die!!"
As soon as he spoke, he rushed out like a messenger from Hell and in a single breath appeared in front of Xie Xie, reaching out his palm to extract his heart…
But when he was about to strike, his hand went straight through…
Obviously, it was not a solid body but an afterimage created by extreme speed!
The real Xie Xie, now revealing himself, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, thinking to himself, "The Ghost Emperor's speed has gotten even faster than last time!!"
If it weren't for the fact that his Martial Soul had evolved into the Space-Time Dragon, with a significant increase in speed, he would never have been able to dodge that strike!!
Without any hesitation, the Ghost Emperor decisively switched his target to Xue Yuntian, "You may be able to dodge my attacks, but it's a different story for him!"
Xie Xie immediately exclaimed in alarm, "Not good!!"
Under the urgent circumstances, he had no choice but to use Spatial Shuttle…
He reached Xue Yuntian before the Ghost Emperor, bringing the latter hundreds of meters away…
Although he did not understand what had happened, Xue Yuntian knew he owed his life once more to Xie Xie and couldn't help inquiring, "Elder Xie, are you all right?"
Looking back at Xie Xie at this moment, his breathing became agitated, no longer as calm as before…
Clearly, using the Spatial Shuttle took a considerable toll on him!
But he still shook his head and said, "I'm fine!"
Seeing his attack thwarted once again, the Ghost Emperor suddenly stopped in his tracks…
"This Spatial Soul Skill is indeed troublesome, and even I have difficulty catching up, but you probably can't use it for long, right??"
"Especially when you have to carry a dead weight!!"
Xie Xie forced a smile and retorted, "Is that so? Then why don't you come and try?!"
...
Because the battle between Xie Xie and the Ghost Emperor was causing such a widespread disturbance…
The soldiers around the imperial palace also noticed something was amiss…
"What… what's happening? Why is the imperial palace shaking today?"
"I don't know, this has never happened before!!"
"Could it be that a treasure is about to appear in the imperial palace??"
"Appear my ass, is your head filled with shit?? This is definitely trouble in the imperial palace!!"
"No… no way, the imperial palace is guarded by Limit Douluo-level warriors, who would be so reckless??"
Just as everyone was pondering the matter, a number of Daijin fled the palace in a panic…
Only after seeing the soldiers did they dare to stop and catch their breath…
Seeing this, one of the Daijin urgently scolded, "What are you fools standing around for? Don't you know there's trouble?? Hurry up and summon all the Soul Master warriors of the Douling Empire!!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers were still utterly perplexed and immediately inquired, "Sir, what exactly happened in the imperial palace? Why are there such significant anomalies??"
Before he could answer, another Daijin interjected, "When we left the imperial palace, we personally saw the Elder of the Sea God Pavilion who had recently arrived in the Douling Empire. He is currently fighting a powerful invader to protect His Majesty the Emperor and is at a disadvantage, the situation is not optimistic."
"As for the Limit Douluo who usually protects His Majesty the Emperor, it seems he has fallen!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a sharp intake of breath…
The Daijin, seeing them unmoved, said again, "Now that you know a major incident has occurred, what are you waiting for? Go send a message quickly; if it's too late, His Majesty the Emperor might lose his life!!"
In their hearts, these Daijin felt that Xue Yuntian's fall wouldn't be such a bad thing!!
In that case, they could select a new emperor for the Douling Empire from amongst the many Daijin!!
The soldiers, realizing the gravity of the situation, spurred their horses on to notify the Soul Master warriors within the Douling Empire…
