Chapter 398 The Assassination Begins.
Xu Guozhong's wealth is extraordinary. In addition to the three level-nine soul tools that were previously revealed, this guy also has a level-nine soul cannon.
With four custom-made level-nine soul tools and more than ten level-eight soul tools, it must be said that as a member of the royal family, he truly deserves this wealth.
After looting all of Xu Guozhong's possessions, the two then entered the third floor of the war reserve warehouse.
First of all, the area of this third floor is much, much larger than they expected. It's at least ten times the size of the first floor! Standing at this height, it feels like you can't see the end of the road!
In this underground warehouse, the large level-four soul-guided cannons were only the worst type. Countless small soul-guided cannons and soul-guided rays were so numerous that they dazzled the two of them.
In addition, the sealed baby bottles that Wu Xuan had been longing for were piled up here, forming a small mountain with as many as a thousand of them.
Finally, the highest-level fixed-mount soul-guided cannon in this war reserve warehouse was level seven, and no higher-level ones were found.
Then Wu Xuan and Ye Guyi began to dress up in elaborate costumes.
What Wu Xuan wanted to express was that as long as something is valuable, he wouldn't leave a single hair for the Sun Moon Empire.
"."
Meanwhile, at the Sun and Moon Palace!
"Your Highness." A gentle voice called out from the entrance of Xu Tianran's study.
"Come in!" Xu Tianran, who was sitting at the table, looked up at Ju Zi, who was walking over, with a gentle smile on his face, and said, "From now on, we can let the palace maids do this kind of thing."
"As Your Highness's other half, isn't it my duty to serve you?" Orange put down the tea set she was holding and said with a charming smile.
Xu Tianran nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this, then looked out the window at the sky and said, "Push me to the window."
"Yes." Orange placed her hands on the wheelchair and pushed Xu Tianran to the window.
A night breeze blew, bringing a chill. Xu Tianran turned to look at Ju Zi: "If it weren't for the bandits who disrupted the Youth Soul Mentor Competition a while ago, we might have been able to let you lay low tonight."
Ju Zi shook her head and said, "I'm not going anywhere. I want to stay with Your Highness." As she spoke, she placed her hands on Xu Tianran's shoulders and gently massaged them.
A rare warm smile appeared on Xu Tianran's face as he gently patted Ju Zi's hand and said, "Only when I'm alone with you can my heart relax. This feeling is truly wonderful! Unfortunately, tonight I'm destined not to be able to quietly enjoy this beauty."
Ju Zi asked in surprise, "Does Your Highness still have official business to attend to so late?"
Before Xu Tianran could explain, suddenly, an old voice rang out in the air, "Since you're all here, stop hiding. Come out."
A large number of guards surged out instantly, completely surrounding Xu Tianran's study. Suddenly, a white light shone in the sky, illuminating the dark night sky with crystal clarity.
A figure hovered proudly above Crown Prince Xu Tianran's study. A long black robe fluttered gently in the night breeze.
He stood there, seemingly floating on the void, as if he had stood there proudly since time immemorial.
His face was expressionless, yet his aged features held an indescribable pride, as if the sky were his alone, and the earth should submit to him.
"When did the Dragon Emperor Douluo become someone's lackey for guarding their home? People's hearts have truly deteriorated!" A strange voice rang out. The sky seemed to suddenly split open, and a thick, dark green cloud appeared across the sky. The green cloud unfurled, and a figure emerged from it.
It was none other than the Sect Master of the Body Sect, Poison Undying.
The only one who was called the Dragon Emperor Douluo by the poison-free doom was the Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao.
Looking at the strange-sounding Poison Undying, Long Xiaoyao snorted coldly, "Your brother was seriously injured by Mu En back then. Today, if you also want to stay here and sever your lineage, I will grant your wish."
Poison Immortal narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Long Xiaoyao, stop acting like an old man. You think you're worthy of being compared to Mu En? Mu En has his own sense of justice. Although we have our grudges, I still respect him. But what about you? If I remember correctly, you were originally from the Heavenly Soul Empire. Now you've not only fallen to the point of joining an evil soul master sect, but you've also become a lackey of the Sun Moon Empire. I, the sect master, truly despise you."
Upon hearing the words "Heavenly Soul Empire," Long Xiaoyao's expression shifted slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Has your Body Sect truly already pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Soul Empire?"
Poison Immortal scoffed, "What do you mean by 'surrender'? We're cooperating. Our sect is now the guardian sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Long Xiaoyao, if you still consider yourself a citizen of the Heavenly Soul Empire, then get out of the way."
Long Xiaoyao shook his head and said calmly, "Considering you helped the Heavenly Soul Empire, I'll spare your life today. Enough with the nonsense. You should understand the rules of a Title Douluo. When it comes to worldly disputes, we'll discuss them in the heavens. Xuanzi, come out too. Today, I'll deal with you all."
As he spoke, Long Xiaoyao swayed and instantly grew taller, with figures appearing behind him.
Behind him, a series of figures appeared. Among them were Zhongli Wu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, and Zhang Peng, the Scorpion Tiger Douluo, along with more than a dozen other figures. Undoubtedly, these were all powerful individuals at the Title Douluo level or above. Some were elders of the Holy Spirit Cult, while others were ninth-level Soul Masters from the Sun Moon Empire.
Zhongli Wu and the other two did not leave Mingdu; they had only been putting on an act for everyone.
At the same time, a yellow light illuminated half of the night sky. The figure of Taotie Douluo Xuanlao appeared, faintly echoing his true form, Douluo Du Busi, restraining Long Xiaoyao as he rose into the air.
Behind Elder Xuan and Poison Immortal, more than twenty powerful figures ascended into the sky with them. Even a powerhouse like Long Xiaoyao couldn't help but slightly change his expression. In terms of the number of Title Douluos, his side only had half the number of theirs.
Moreover, Long Xiaoyao knew very well that with the resources of the Body Sect and Shrek Academy, nearly half of these Title Douluos were probably Super Douluos. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to come rashly, even knowing that he was in the Mingdu Imperial Palace.
"Xuanzi, let's not stand on ceremony with the old black dragon. He's a bit older than us in terms of seniority. Let's go side by side." Du Busi laughed and, just as he ascended into the sky, he flashed out and transformed into a green giant over a hundred meters tall, rushing towards Long Xiaoyao.
Elder Xuan frowned, but only hesitated for a moment before flying out with Poison Undying. He took a step in the void, and behind him, the image of the Taotie Divine Ox flashed. Above his head, two spiral horns emerged, and nine soul rings appeared: two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red.
Faced with the combined attack of Elder Xuan and Poison Undying, a gigantic black dragon over a hundred meters long appeared behind Long Xiaoyao, revealing its claws. The black dragon was covered in thick scales, its wings blotting out the sky, and its entire body exuded the majesty of a king.
Long Xiaoyao raised both hands and struck out with a palm each at Du Busi and Elder Xuan. The two towering black palm shadows, as majestic as mountains, swelled in the air, quickly becoming hundreds of meters high.
"Hey!" Poison Undying shouted, his whole body surging with green light. Behind him, a layer of dark green light and shadow suddenly unfolded. His arms instantly grew larger, and his two giant palms slammed forward, blocking the black palm shadow.
"Bang!" The deep rumble caused the Mingdu Imperial Palace below to tremble. Du Busi's body also trembled slightly, but his dark green hands had already plunged into the black palm shadow, tearing it apart right in front of him.
On the other side, Elder Xuan's response was much more forceful. He unleashed a powerful right punch.
"Boom!"
The black palm shadow dissipated, and Elder Xuan was sent flying more than ten meters backward. Long Xiaoyao, who was in the distance, also swayed slightly on his shoulders.
Even in a one-on-two situation, the Dragon Emperor Douluo still held the upper hand. That's true power!
