Chapter 159: Four Titled Douluo, Besieging Chu Chen!
The moment the Heaven Dou Palace Coup erupted, the "Imperial Guard" within the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, who had long been secretly replaced by Spirit Hall soldiers under Qian Renxue's covert manipulation, came out in full force, but they were not there to protect Emperor Xue Ye.
The so-called...
Plan was to ensure Emperor Xue Ye could not leave the palace, for at this moment, under Qian Renxue's covert manipulation, the poison had already seeped into his very marrow, leaving him essentially beyond saving.
This time, there was no Tang San, no Yang Wudi, and no Dugu Bo.
And even less of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
Therefore, the heavily poisoned Emperor Xue Ye simply could not live much longer. At this moment, none of his confidants were by his side, only a Xue Beng who could do nothing.
"Xue Qinghe! Why are you doing this!"
Xue Beng's eyes nearly burst from their sockets as he pointed at Xue Qinghe, gritting his teeth so hard they almost shattered.
"Struggles within the imperial family are nothing more than this."
Xue Qinghe remained as calm and composed as ever. This Heaven Dou Palace Coup was progressing far too smoothly; even the original Imperial Guard had been controlled, making it impossible for them to save the situation.
"You..."
Emperor Xue Ye was heartbroken and distressed. He regretted not discovering Xue Qinghe's true face sooner, never expecting things to reach this point.
"Father, now that things have come to this, hand over the throne."
"Though I suppose I do not need to wait for your command, as you will not survive the day."
Beside Xue Qinghe followed the two Titled Douluo, Snake Lance and Porcupinefish. Their powerful auras left Xue Beng and Emperor Xue Ye with no choice but to kneel in submission.
"Even if I die, I will never give the throne to you!"
Emperor Xue Ye's face was a sickly shade of blue and purple, looking extremely haggard.
"Hmm... Then there is no other way."
A hint of helplessness flickered in Xue Qinghe's eyes. She did not want to cause too much slaughter, as that might shake the hearts of the people of the Heaven Dou Empire; therefore, if this coup could be resolved peacefully,
It would be for the best!
The terror in Emperor Xue Ye's eyes could not be hidden no matter what, as a sense of despair began to spread...
...
"Chu Chen, do you really think Qian Renxue can govern the Heaven Dou Empire well?"
Within the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, at the same time the Heaven Dou Palace Coup was taking place, Dugu Bo asked Chu Chen with a solemn expression.
"She is doing this to complete Spirit Hall's mission, so that the glory of Spirit Hall never fades and to achieve Spirit Hall's hegemony. On this point, I do not approve of what she is doing."
Chu Chen's tone carried a hint of melancholy as his gaze drifted into the distance.
He spoke to himself, "In the end, I am the one who will take over all administrative power. I want to achieve the true unification of the Douluo Continent, a unification in the truest sense unseen for tens of thousands of years."
"The path I walk does not only consist of the will to destroy everything."
"It also includes the path of life that protects and blesses all living beings. I do not wish for the various nations of the Douluo Continent to engage in war again, leaving the people with no way to live. Therefore, this unification is the inevitable trend of this era, and no one can change it."
Chu Chen spoke his wish.
Just like the essence of the Life God King he had once realized, walking upon this path, he was but one of the myriad of living beings, blessing and protecting all life.
That was his true mission!
Beside him, Qiu'er's expression was serious. What Chu Chen said... was it not exactly what she, as the bearer of the Power of Destiny, should also be doing?
"But you are helping Qian Renxue like this now."
"Are you sure you aren't strengthening Spirit Hall's power? I'm afraid things will only become more difficult for you when the time comes."
Dugu Bo was somewhat worried.
"Boom—!"
Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky. Clad in black robes, the person appeared out of thin air before Dugu Bo, Chu Chen, and the others. Powerful Soul Power fluctuations swirled around him, bringing with them a surge of killing intent.
"Who is it?!"
Dugu Bo immediately became alert, sensing that the newcomer did not come with good intentions.
"In this Heaven Dou Palace Coup, someone finally couldn't sit still anymore and wants to tie us down here."
Chu Chen seemed to have long expected this. Four figures appeared ahead, and all of them were actually Titled Douluo!
"Today, no one shall leave!"
The leading black-robed man among the four spoke. A Soul Ring configuration of two yellow, two purple, and five black appeared. His body grew more robust, emitting a majestic power as he was the first to charge at Dugu Bo.
"Chu Chen, you all be careful."
Dugu Bo's tone was heavy as he erupted with Soul Power and clashed with the man!
The remaining three Titled Douluo also released powerful auras.
At that moment, the three Education Commissioners of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy appeared. Although they were only at the Soul Douluo level, by working together, it would not be a problem for them to contend with a Titled Douluo for a short time.
"They are..." Meng Shenji's gaze was full of terror; facing Titled Douluo, their chances of victory were slim.
"No matter what, there are still students in the academy. We cannot let them destroy this place," Zhi Lin said decisively, releasing his Sky Azure Vine Martial Soul.
The three Soul Douluo experts clashed with one of the Titled Douluo, but even so, two Titled Douluo remained.
The only ones left to face them were Chu Chen, Qiu'er, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan.
Chu Chen was at the Soul Saint level, while Ye Lingling was a Soul Emperor.
Qiu'er and Dugu Yan were still only at the Soul King level.
"Nothing more than four juniors. So what if you have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill? I will not give you the chance to use it."
That Titled Douluo was extremely fast, transforming into an afterimage that instantly closed in on Chu Chen and the others. His figure seemed to merge completely into his Soul Power, vanishing from the surroundings.
"Swish—!"
At extreme speed, the sound of air being torn apart erupted.
His strength had definitely reached level ninety-five, and in Chu Chen's memory, someone who could possess such extreme speed...
Seemed to be only the Ghost Leopard Douluo of Spirit Hall.
"Spirit Hall, sending four Titled Douluo, truly thinks highly of me and the Old freak. Senior, if you wish to avenge the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, then take action."
Chu Chen smiled faintly. He was not flustered, merely speaking to the space behind him.
"Boom—!!!"
Violent lightning bloomed as Yu Yuanzhen completed his full-body Dragonification and unleashed his Avatar of Martial Soul, his massive Dragon claw striking toward Ghost Leopard Douluo!!
"Yu Yuanzhen?!"
Ghost Leopard Douluo shrieked. How was this guy here?!
Yu Yuanzhen's sudden appearance threw their plans into disarray.
And because Yu Yuanzhen carried a monstrous hatred for Spirit Hall, his offensive was incredibly powerful, forcing Ghost Leopard Douluo to temporarily avoid the brunt of his attacks.
"The one fighting the Old Poison is Devil Bear Douluo."
"The one fighting the three Education Commissioners is Yue Guan..."
Chu Chen's gaze landed on the last one, a woman with a slender figure that even a black robe could not hide, revealing a devilishly good figure.
"I presume you must be Spirit Kite Douluo."
Having her identity revealed by Chu Chen, Spirit Kite Douluo was not surprised. Flames wreathed her fingertips as a scorching aura bloomed.
"Being clever is instead not a good thing. I let you escape a few years ago, but this time, you won't be able to escape."
