Snake Spear Douluo exerted his utmost effort.
For many years, no one had dared to challenge Dai Tian Jun, and no one knew his true strength.
But merely from the opponent's aura, Snake Spear Douluo knew he was in grave danger today.
As a ninety-first rank Titled Douluo, the disparity in presence between him and his opponent was overwhelmingly vast.
Moreover, Dai Tian Jun had even unleashed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Snake Spear Douluo understood clearly—if he didn't fight with his life on the line today, he would lose it.
In that brief moment, Snake Spear Douluo's spear tip danced incessantly, its sharp aura completely locking onto the Netherworld White Tiger, unleashing the full extent of his lifelong cultivation.
His eyes were resolute—no matter how powerful the enemy, he would pierce them with a hundred holes using his Serpent Spear.
The tragic aura of the Serpent Spear clashed directly with the Netherworld White Tiger's claws.
The White Tiger's eyes gleamed coldly, as if ignoring the Serpent Spear entirely, its claws relentlessly striking downward without regard for consequences.
Though the collision seemed prolonged, the outcome was decided in an instant.
Snake Spear Douluo's Serpent Spear actually shattered.
His entire body sprayed blood across the sky as he plummeted toward the ground.
Meanwhile, the Netherworld White Tiger utilized its speed advantage once more, its shadow-like form closely pursuing through the air, its claws slamming down upon the ragdoll-like body of Snake Spear Douluo.
"Boom!"
The very earth trembled thrice as Snake Spear Douluo was utterly smashed into the ground.
Then, with a turn, the Netherworld White Tiger vanished.
By this time, the surrounding Soul Masters had just activated their Zhuge Divine Crossbows and Soul Skills.
Their movements were far too slow compared to the Netherworld White Tiger's speed.
At the forest's center, leaves whirled and great trees toppled, leaving only a human-shaped crater in the middle.
A shockwave erupted, spreading outward like ripples on water, pushing everyone away.
Only after several breaths did the forest finally calm.
"Your Eminence..."
"Your Eminence, are you alright..."
Countless exclamations erupted as the strongest Soul Douluo among Snake Spear Douluo's subordinates hurried forward.
A dreadful premonition rose in all their hearts.
The enemy was too powerful—Their Eminence hadn't been able to resist at all.
Had Their Eminence been killed by the opponent?
Their fearful speculation was confirmed when they reached the human-shaped crater.
Snake Spear Douluo was no longer recognizable, his entire body covered in blood, completely lifeless.
This was a Titled Douluo, yet he had been directly killed by the opponent.
Should they continue with their mission? All the Soul Douluos exchanged uncertain glances.
But most importantly, they needed to report to the Young Master immediately and deliver this tragic news.
Elsewhere, after putting sufficient distance behind them, the Netherworld White Tiger separated, revealing the figures of Dai Tian Jun and Zhu Lan Yun.
Both had expended over half their Soul Power.
Though the battle was brief, the explosive power they'd unleashed had come at the cost of massive Soul Power consumption.
The two had already taken soul-replenishing herbs and were swiftly heading east of South Tong Pass.
There must be another Titled Douluo there.
They absolutely couldn't be allowed to remain.
"Brother Tian, this Serpent Spear Martial Soul Titled Douluo left no records anywhere on the continent—his concealment runs incredibly deep!" Zhu Lan Yun's pretty face showed deep concern.
Dai Tian Jun gazed into the distance. "Could he be a Titled Douluo secretly cultivated by the Xue Family?"
Zhu Lanyun quickly shook her head, "Titled Douluos aren't so easily cultivated. In our Star Luo Empire, we haven't seen a second Titled Douluo emerge for such a long time. Yet Heaven Dou quietly produced two Titled Douluos all at once. Brother Jun, do you remember Yang Wushuang? He pledged loyalty to Spirit Hall but poisoned the Second and Third Princes—the biggest beneficiary was Xue Qinghe!"
Zhu Lanyun, being meticulous, connected all the dots. No wonder she was suspicious; on this continent, only Spirit Hall could conceal two Titled Douluos. How many Titled Douluos Spirit Hall actually possessed remained a mystery to this day, but undoubtedly, they had the most on the continent. As for the Heaven Dou Empire, with the Xue family's Swan Martial Soul, they hadn't produced a Titled Douluo in years—how could they possibly cultivate two powerful experts?
Dai Tianjun naturally thought of this too. "Xue Qinghe colluding with Spirit Hall doesn't make sense! First, when Yang Wushuang killed the Second and Third Princes, Xue Qinghe was still young and couldn't have contacted Spirit Hall. Second, Ning Fengzhi and Tang Xiao are both in Heaven Dou City; if Xue Qinghe had any abnormalities, they would have noticed long ago. I don't believe Xue Qinghe could hide anything from the Sword and Bone Douluos!"
Dai Tianjun couldn't figure it out. "By the way, according to the information we obtained from the Clear Sky Sect, aside from Dugu Bo from the Dugu Family, Xue Qinghe has no Titled-level experts under his command. This means Xue Qinghe's hidden forces are also kept secret from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Clear Sky Sect. Once we return to South Tong Pass, we'll send a message to Sect Master Tang! Let's see how Xue Qinghe continues to gain support from the Clear Sky Sect and Ning Fengzhi after this!" Dai Tianjun sneered, determined to stir up trouble.
Zhu Lanyun's eyes lit up as well. They were now certain that Xue Qinghe was shrouded in mystery. By presenting this issue to Ning Fengzhi and Tang Xiao, they might uncover the truth behind it all. The two exchanged glances, both feeling excited and relieved, with much of the pressure lifted from their minds. Their pace quickened further.
"That Titled Douluo with the Serpent Spear Martial Soul died—they'll surely relay the news to the other hidden Titled Douluo. But they won't be as fast as us!" With the help of medicinal herbs, Dai Tianjun had mostly recovered his Soul Power. He promptly embraced Zhu Lanyun and soared into the sky. There was no time to waste; a single minute's delay could lead to unforeseen changes.
As they hurried on their way, they continued to restore their Soul Power. By the time they neared their destination, their Soul Power had fully recovered. They once again unleashed the Netherworld White Tiger. Soon after, Pufferfish Douluo was discovered, and the familiar scene repeated itself. Pufferfish Douluo didn't escape either. In the forest with no cover and an attack speed slower than Serpent Spear Douluo's, he was ambushed by the Netherworld White Tiger. Before he could even react, two consecutive claw strikes crushed him to death.
Dai Tianjun and Zhu Lanyun were thrilled. Even with their vast experience and steadfast mental fortitude, the exhilaration of eliminating two Titled Douluos in a row was impossible to contain! Dai Tianjun could almost picture Xue Qinghe's helpless rage upon learning the outcome. These weren't just any ordinary individuals—they were numbered among the continent's elite Titled Douluos.
After their excitement subsided, the two immediately returned to South Tong Pass. "Zhuyun has rendered great service. Once we're back in the city, I'll order her to return."
Xue Qinghe has suffered such a great loss and we don't know how he might go mad! We must avoid Zhuyun getting hurt when he seeks revenge!
We also need to be fully prepared. As long as we withstand Xue Qinghe's retaliation, we're certain to win this war!"
Dai Tian Jun was brimming with confidence.
As he spoke, his figure transformed into a streak of light, gradually moving away before finally landing at South Tong Pass.
He began making preparations.
