Chapter 218: Angel vs Asura
In the sky, the clash of Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue's domains seemed as though the entire space was about to explode. However, from the collision of the two domains, it seemed that Yang Xiong had already begun to suppress Qian Renxue's Angel Domain.
But Qian Renxue was unwilling to be suppressed. Holding the Holy Sword, she continuously attacked Yang Xiong, especially since the Holy Sword was extremely special and could actually ignore the clash of the two domains.
After Yang Xiong used his martial soul true body, his strength was greatly enhanced. The ten-thousand-year-level martial soul true body provided a far stronger amplification compared to Qian Renxue.
Especially in terms of power, after Yang Xiong used his martial soul true body, his strength increased by a full five hundred percent, a level of enhancement that was terrifying even in the world of soul masters.
After countless exchanges of attacks between the two, Qian Renxue was once again suppressed by Yang Xiong. This time, Qian Renxue was even more troubled and helpless than at the beginning.
Suddenly, Qian Renxue let out a loud roar. Her sixth soul ring flashed, and the gigantic Six-Winged Angel behind her let out an extremely terrifying roar. Everyone present felt their minds tremble uncontrollably.
This was Qian Renxue's sixth soul skill: Angel Roar. It was a special sonic attack that also had a spiritual attack effect, extremely powerful.
Especially after Qian Renxue used the true form of the Angel martial soul, her strength had already reached the level of a Title Douluo. Even the numerous Title Douluo present felt a headache and dizziness, as if their entire bodies were in a state of faintness.
Yang Xiong gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain in his head, his eyes turning blood-red. A blood-red light shot out directly from his eyes, colliding with Qian Renxue's Angel Roar. The entire space seemed to tremble.
The blood-red light shot up into the sky, and even Qian Renxue seemed to suffer a heavy blow, letting out a mournful scream as blood spurted from her mouth.
Yang Xiong's skill, the Asura Divine Light, was a result of his research and evolution of the Purple Extreme Demon Eyes. Not only did it have a spiritual attack attribute, but it also contained the attributes of his God of Killing domain and his martial soul itself, making its power extremely strong.
Qian Renxue, after taking this heavy blow, seemed severely wounded.
But at this moment, Qian Renxue appeared extremely determined and almost crazed. "Yang Xiong, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to also use spiritual attacks. Now, take my final blow."
Qian Renxue's eighth soul ring flashed, and the giant Six-Winged Angel behind her suddenly conjured a golden long sword, slashing towards Yang Xiong with all its might.
Yang Xiong felt as if he had lost control of his body, like he was on some sort of judgment platform. That golden sword seemed to be a judgment on his entire life.
This was Qian Renxue's eighth soul skill: Angel's Judgment. Especially when she used this skill, Yang Xiong felt that Qian Renxue had already pushed her power to the extreme, as if a true angel had descended.
However, Yang Xiong didn't care about the pressure on him. He remained defiant, his sixth soul ring flashing. His right hand became like a giant dragon's claw, firmly grabbing the descending golden sword.
This was Yang Xiong's sixth soul skill: Hell Dragon Claw. The dragon claw seemed to be wrapped in special flames, filled with the same unyielding spirit as Yang Xiong himself.
When the two of them clashed with all their might, Yang Xiong's Hell Dragon Claw shattered the massive golden sword, causing the sky itself to seem to tremble.
In the sky, two massive figures clashed. One was the golden Six-Winged Angel, filled with holiness, and the other was the blood-red figure, exuding killing intent, like a Shura demon.
It was clear that the Asura had triumphed over the Angel. The entire figure of the Angel shattered, and Qian Renxue was struck hard.
Qian Renxue seemed severely injured, blasted back by Yang Xiong's full force. She spat blood, looking gravely wounded.
The four Title Douluo present were immediately shocked. They never expected that the extraordinarily gifted Qian Renxue would be defeated by a mere Soul Saint like Yang Xiong.
It was known that Qian Renxue's martial soul was of exceptionally high quality, and her offensive power was incredibly strong. Even when she was just a Soul Saint, her combat ability was already near Title Douluo level.
Now that she was a Soul Douluo, her strength was not inferior to Ghost Leopard Douluo and Spiritwing Douluo. Yet, she had been easily defeated by Yang Xiong.
The four Title Douluo immediately abandoned their respective opponents and rushed toward Qian Renxue, clearly trying to aid her.
Now was the critical moment. Yu Xiaogang and others had been continuously fighting Spiritwing Douluo, and everyone was severely wounded. Their martial soul fusion skills were on par with Title Douluo level, but they couldn't truly sustain prolonged battles with Title Douluo.
Meanwhile, Yang Wudi and his group were facing off with Ghost Leopard Douluo, gaining a slight advantage, but it was still difficult for them to stop him.
Qian Jun Douluo and Demon Slayer Douluo were engaged in a fierce battle with Bone Douluo and Tang Hao. Neither side was gaining a clear advantage, though Tang Hao was somewhat weaker in soul power and had internal injuries. Prolonged fighting could be disadvantageous for him.
At this moment, the four Title Douluo completely disregarded their own opponents and poured all their energy into saving Qian Renxue.
Yang Xiong, however, kept his eyes fixed on Qian Renxue, seeming to hesitate as if contemplating how to handle the situation. But two massive Dragon-Claw Staves suddenly fell from the sky, blocking his way. Even though Yang Xiong's strength was immense, the staves, full of infinite power, pushed him back several dozen meters with a violent collision. His arms trembled.
With Qian Renxue's defeat at the center, it seemed that this coup in Tiandou Palace had failed completely. The remaining matters were no longer for Yang Xiong to consider.
The four Title Douluo quickly arrived by Qian Renxue's side, their eyes filled with anger as they glared at Yang Xiong, the one who had injured their young master.
Qian Renxue wiped the blood from her mouth. "Very well, Yang Xiong, you haven't let me down. Next time, I will make sure to take revenge for this humiliation."
Yang Xiong coldly snorted. "You've already lost, and you're still talking so arrogantly. Do you really think you have any chance of defeating me? You're more than ten levels above me, but you still couldn't win."
Qian Renxue's eyes burned with fury. "Wait for it, Yang Xiong. Sooner or later, I'll make sure you and I will fight to the death."
Yang Xiong's expression was indifferent. "I'll be waiting. But I hope you'll fight me fairly next time, without resorting to any dirty tricks."
Qian Renxue shot Yang Xiong a glare. "We're leaving. Remember this day."
Emperor Xueye shouted angrily, "Bold thief, not only have you conspired against my Tiandou Empire's crown prince, but you've also killed members of my royal family. You will not leave here today."
Qian Renxue's eyes were filled with mockery. "Xueye, do you really think the Tiandou royal family's forces can stop us? In my eyes, your royal family is like ants. And I've prepared a big surprise for you."
Among everyone present, the one most enraged was Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang fixed his angry gaze on Ghost Leopard Douluo. "Ghost Leopard Douluo, you were the one who attacked our Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Clan. We will fight to the death."
Ghost Leopard Douluo sneered. "A mere Great Soul Master, and you think you can act so arrogantly in front of me?"
"I almost forgot, you're the useless son of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Clan's Yu Yuanzhen. It's a pity that your clan has been eradicated by us. There's not a living soul left in the clan. You were lucky not to be in the sect at the time, or you'd be nothing but a pile of bones."
"Don't talk about you, even your father Yu Yuanzhen died at our hands. What are you?"
Yu Xiaogang and the others were about to retort, but Qian Renxue's face turned cold. "Let's go. This matter won't be settled so easily."
The four Title Douluo simultaneously activated their martial soul true bodies. Huge Fire-Eagle and Ghost Leopard martial souls surrounded Qian Renxue, while two massive Dragon-Claw Staves descended from the sky, as if capable of destroying the heavens.
Bone Douluo and Tang Hao exchanged a glance. Both quickly activated their martial soul true bodies. Bone Douluo transformed into a giant Bone Dragon, while Tang Hao's Haotian Hammer also grew enormously, clashing head-on with the Dragon-Claw Staves' attack.
As the massive collision subsided, Qian Renxue and the others had already disappeared without a trace.
Yu Xiaogang looked utterly distraught, watching his father's killer leave.
Yu Xiaogang seemed to have thought of something, his eyes red as he looked at Yang Xiong. "Yang Xiong, why did you hesitate? Your strength should have been enough to defeat Qian Renxue."
Yang Xiong responded, speechless. "I was also under attack from many people. Didn't you see how Qian Jun Douluo and Demon Slayer Douluo attacked me?"
As Yu Xiaogang seemed about to say something more, Yang Xiong simply pulled Ning Rongrong and left the scene.
After Yang Xiong defeated Qian Renxue, he indeed hesitated for a moment. When everyone heard Yu Xiaogang's words, they exchanged curious glances.
However, Yang Xiong didn't pay it much thought. He had no intention of truly defeating Qian Renxue. He just wanted to repel her and buy himself some time.
After all, with figures like Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu behind Qian Renxue, Yang Xiong couldn't afford to provoke them right now. Rather than spending all his effort defeating Qian Renxue, it was better to let her go for now and buy some time.
Soon, everyone's attention was drawn to the chaos around them. No one questioned Yang Xiong's actions anymore, for this was the Tiandou Palace coup, and danger was lurking everywhere.
Emperor Xueye soon heard devastating news. Besides the royal family members directly loyal to him and some defectors, the soul master legions stationed at the palace perimeter had been completely annihilated. Countless lives were lost, and the foundation of the Tiandou royal family was severely weakened.
Emperor Xueye was shocked. Without the royal family's soul master legions, the remaining personnel loyal to him inside the palace, it seemed unlikely that the Tiandou royal family could hold the fort.
Another devastating piece of news arrived—the Tiandou royal treasury had been raided and emptied. Even many nobles loyal to Emperor Xueye had been killed.
Faced with the continuous stream of bad news and seeing the Tiandou Palace reduced to ruins, Emperor Xueye seemed to age more than ten years in an instant. This blow seemed even more severe than the poisoning he had suffered.
And the worst part was that all four of Emperor Xueye's sons had been killed by Qian Renxue, leaving him with no male heirs. Only Princess Xueke remained.
Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi and others had just arrived. The Tiandou Palace coup was brief, but Ning Fengzhi had been far away at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and had encountered many obstacles along the way.
