Ning Fengzhi had not yet dispatched personnel to Heaven Dou City, as he suspected Bibi Dong might not have completely unified the factions within the imperial palace.
He needed to wait. Once Bibi Dong had finished clearing out the imperial family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan would intervene to suppress the situation. Gu Xuan could then naturally unify the palace forces, given his nominal status as Xue Ke's man and a prince-consort of the imperial family. If no one remained to inherit the throne, he, as the prince-consort, would be the one to stabilize the court and the city. While such a turn of events was cruel for Xue Ke, it was the reality of the situation.
Gu Rong, leading the four Titled Douluos, including Ghost Leopard, along with Gu Xuan and Dugu Yan, set out immediately. Less than an hour had passed since the group had attacked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. Reaching the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan now was certainly possible; it was even likely that the group led by the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluos had only just begun their assault.
At Rank 97 Peak, Gu Rong moved the group rapidly through Spatial Portals. The distance to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was even shorter than the trip to the Star Dou Great Forest. It took a mere ten minutes for the group to arrive within the clan's territory.
Upon arrival, Gu Xuan and the others could sense the battle already underway. Terrifying shockwaves from Titled Douluo-level combat rippled through the air. They knew that the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluos had initiated their attack.
At the mountain gate, countless clan disciples were locked in combat with Spirit Hall's black-clad warriors. Gu Xuan and his companions watched silently from within a space opened by Gu Rong before heading directly to where the Titled Douluos were clashing.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan currently had only one Titled Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen. Their total number of Soul Masters was less than two thousand. Spirit Hall, however, had sent five Titled Douluos and five thousand Soul Masters. It was a force meant for total extermination. In the original history, Yu Yuanzhen had only managed to take one Spirit Hall Titled Douluo with him through a desperate final effort, resulting in his death and the theft of his three soul bones.
Seeing the fires of war and the mounting casualties among the disciples, Gu Rong saw shadows of what could have happened to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. If Gu Xuan hadn't met Dugu Yan, or if they hadn't secured the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, would they be in this same position?
Thinking of this, Gu Rong snorted coldly at the four Titled Douluos behind him. "It seems Bibi Dong's ambitions are indeed vast."
Ghost Leopard Douluo and the others didn't dare to breathe loudly, replying with forced smiles. "Elder Bone, we are now men of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. Whatever you command, we shall do without hesitation."
Gu Rong nodded. He didn't blame them specifically, as the root of the problem was Bibi Dong. After today, Spirit Hall's power would be broken, and it would likely be the end for her as well. He stopped looking at the tragic scenes below and headed straight for the battle involving Yu Yuanzhen. Once the Titled Douluos were dealt with, the war would be over.
...
Half an hour earlier, just as Ghost Leopard Douluo and his group were kneeling in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's hall awaiting judgment, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had come under fire. Yu Yuanzhen was at his residence teaching Yu Tianheng, who had reached the Soul Emperor level, when he saw the signal arrow in the sky. He was shocked. How many years had it been since anyone dared to attack his mountain gate? Who dared to provoke the clan possessing the Number One Beast Martial Soul?
"Grandpa, is that... an enemy signal? Someone is attacking the gate?" Yu Tianheng asked in disbelief.
Yu Yuanzhen nodded, his kind expression turning cold and stern. "Find your father and organize the disciples to resist the invaders."
"Yes!" Yu Tianheng knew the gravity of the crisis and left immediately.
Shortly after he departed, a terrifying pressure locked onto Yu Yuanzhen's residence. Sensing five powerful auras outside, Yu Yuanzhen was inwardly stunned. Five Titled Douluos? What faction on the continent could field such a lineup?
In an instant, Yu Yuanzhen appeared outside and saw the five Titled Douluos hovering above. Recognizing their auras, he snorted. "Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, what does Spirit Hall intend to do? You dare to openly invade my Blue Lightning mountain!"
Recognizing that their identities were known, the duo felt no surprise. They had crossed paths with Yu Yuanzhen many times. Had they not belonged to opposing camps, they might have even been called friends.
"Old Dragon, we are merely acting on the Pope's orders. Today is the day the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is wiped out." Chrysanthemum Douluo's effeminate voice held a hint of excitement. Destroying an Upper Sect was something he had never done in his long life.
Yu Yuanzhen erupted with a terrifying momentum, his dragon authority shattering the lock the five had on him. The word 'extermination' had touched his reverse scale. He roared.
"Yue Guan! You think you are my match? We are both Rank 95, but there is a gap even between Titled Douluos."
Chrysanthemum Douluo wasn't deterred; instead, he grew more excited. "Old Dragon, I admit I am not your match in a duel. But we have five Titled Douluos. How will you stop us?"
Ghost Douluo interrupted. "Don't waste time. Strike. The Blue Lightning members are strong; we cannot lose too many Soul Masters."
The five lunged at Yu Yuanzhen. He roared. "Since you seek death, I shall grant it!"
"Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul Avatar!"
In the sky, a terrifying Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon emerged within the thunderclouds, engaging the five Titled Douluos. Yu Yuanzhen's strength was indeed formidable. Using the unique Dragonization skill of his martial soul, he fought the five to a standstill. Even though the other three were only Rank 94 and 93, it was a testament to his power.
However, two hands find it hard to block four. Just as he was holding his own, the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluos joined forces. A massive gold and silver array appeared in the sky, freezing the giant dragon.
"Bipolar Static Domain!"
This was their trump card, the martial soul fusion skill. Yu Yuanzhen knew their cards. Even with his body frozen, he didn't panic because he also had a trump card. But once he used it, his life would come to an end.
As he saw the other three Titled Douluos preparing their strongest ninth soul skills, he knew no miracle was coming. If his clan was receiving this treatment, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan surely faced an even more horrific assault. In despair, he prepared to sacrifice himself using the clan's inheritance—the True Dragon Nine Crowns!
Just as he was about to fuse with the crowns, a massive Spatial Portal tore open in the sky. Four Titled Douluos shot out, charging toward the three enemies, launching their ninth soul skills.
Gu Xuan locked onto the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluos, his soul rings rising one after another.
Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, red, red, red! Eight terrifying rings shone with brilliant soul power. His third blood-red ring—his eighth—lit up instantly, locking a terrifying killing intent onto the duo.
"Eighth Soul Skill: Evil Spirit Orca Axe!"
As the hundred-thousand-year ring flared, a massive, blood-red axe condensed in Gu Xuan's hand. With a diameter exceeding ten meters, it carried a momentum capable of tearing the duo apart.
Gu Rong appeared before Yu Yuanzhen's massive dragon form with Dugu Yan. He spoke calmly. "Old Dragon Head, we are late..."
