The reason Gu Xuan was addressed as Prince by Ghost Leopard Douluo was due to the title granted to him by Emperor Xue Ye after his marriage to Xue Ke. After all, as a prince-consort, it was necessary to provide him with a title and a fief. However, Gu Xuan had left matters concerning the fief to Ning Fengzhi, and he had rarely used the title of Prince himself.
For the past two years, he had been in seclusion at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, breaking through to Rank 90, so the title had been largely unnecessary. But now, as he arrived at the palace to suppress a rebellion, this title was perfectly suited for the occasion; otherwise, he would not have come in person.
Tuoba Yu listened to Ghost Leopard Douluo's words, his gaze turning cold. "Elder Ghost Leopard, you all were once the pillars of Spirit Hall. Now that you have abandoned the Pope, where is your shame?"
At Tuoba Yu's words, the expressions of Ghost Leopard and the others darkened. Snake Lance Douluo replied. "Tuoba, a person only has one life. If you were in our position, you would do the same."
Tuoba Yu snorted coldly upon hearing Snake Lance Douluo's response. "The Pope treated me well. My current achievements are all thanks to Her Majesty. Since you have chosen to betray her today, I shall clear the sect for the Pope!"
As Tuoba Yu spoke, soul power surged within him. Two yellow, two purple, and five black rings rose around his body. The pressure of his Rank 91 Peak soul power ground directly toward Gu Xuan. Simultaneously, Tuoba Yu's figure blurred as he charged straight for the youth.
He knew that to stop Ghost Leopard and the others, he first had to capture Gu Xuan, the Young Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the Prince-Consort of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Seeing Tuoba Yu's actions, Gu Xuan felt a slight sense of admiration. This guy's strength wasn't much, but he was certainly loyal. Even faced with the encirclement of four Titled Douluos, he chose to fight to the death rather than surrender.
However, the four Titled Douluos led by Ghost Leopard were currently eager to prove their worth. How could they give Tuoba Yu a chance to approach Gu Xuan?
"Impudent!" Ghost Leopard Douluo and the others snorted in unison, all four striking at once.
Before Tuoba Yu could even get within ten meters of Gu Xuan, he was directly repelled by the four Elders. Being pushed back, Tuoba Yu knew they were determined in their betrayal, and his heart turned ice-cold.
For the Pope's plan, he did not fear death. But he wasn't the only one here; the majority of the Saint Dragon Clan's combat strength was present. Faced with four Titled Douluos, they stood no chance. But... did he still have a choice? From the moment he struck, there was no turning back.
He was no match for Ghost Leopard and the others, but if he could capture Gu Xuan or Dugu Yan, there might still be a sliver of hope!
Just then, a figure rushed to Tuoba Hui's side, speaking anxiously. "Elder Tuoba, things are bad! A large army is forcing its way through the palace gates, flying the banner of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and shouting to clear out the rebels!"
Tuoba Yu, who was confronting the four Elders, naturally heard this as well. Now, he could no longer afford to hesitate.
Hearing the messenger's words, the smile on Gu Xuan's face gradually faded. He naturally hadn't come with only a few Titled Douluos; otherwise, how could he control the palace? Now that his troops had arrived, he only needed to take down Tuoba Yu and the others. In the future, he would be the one calling the shots in the Heaven Dou Empire. He would use this as his foundation to sweep across the continent and complete his grand cause of unification!
Soul power surged within Tuoba Yu, and his black seventh soul ring suddenly lit up. His entire person transformed into a massive, thirty-meter-long White Armored Earth Dragon.
"Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul Avatar!"
Beside him, Tuoba Hui understood his Clan Leader's intent. The Saint Dragon Clan was currently of one mind. Seeing Tuoba Yu risking his life, they all launched their strongest soul skills, attempting to help Tuoba Yu secure a chance for survival.
However, while Tuoba Yu and Tuoba Hui acted, the other twenty-odd Soul Douluos—aside from the three from the Saint Dragon Clan—didn't dare to move. They weren't as loyal as the Saint Dragon Clan, nor did they have the resolve to die. Even if their small group was among the elite of the continent, faced with four Titled Douluos, they knew their resistance was a meaningless struggle that would only end in death. They didn't dare move because they wanted to live.
Seeing Tuoba Yu use his Martial Soul Avatar without hesitation, the four Elders also displayed their full strength. Now was the time to show their power.
"Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul Avatar!" x4
The four Elders used their seventh soul skills simultaneously. Along with the release of their Avatars, a terrifying pressure directly blew back the Saint Dragon Clan disciples who tried to stop them. Tuoba Yu was also forced back by the collective pressure, smashing through a large portion of Emperor Xue Ye's residence behind him!
Having been repelled, Tuoba Yu did not pause and immediately released his eighth soul skill.
"Eighth Soul Skill: Saint Dragon Flame!"
Terrifying energy condensed in the mouth of the White Armored Earth Dragon. Ghost Leopard and the others no longer held back. Tuoba Yu no longer cared about life or death; only by killing him could the situation be settled.
"Ninth Soul Skill: Shadow of the Void!"
"Eighth Soul Skill: Thunderous Wrath!"
"Eighth Soul Skill: Corrosive Tyrant Thorns!"
"Eighth Soul Skill: Boiling Blood!"
The soul skills of Ghost Leopard, Snake Lance, and Porcupine all locked onto Tuoba Yu, while Spirit Kite Douluo's skill swept over the Saint Dragon Clan disciples below.
"Argh!!"
The full-power strikes of three Titled Douluos hit Tuoba Yu. He let out a single wail before being obliterated by the combined force. His Martial Soul Avatar shattered instantly, and he collapsed to the ground like a dead dog, his eyes filled with unwillingness and resentment. He was unwilling because the plan had been so close to completion, and he was resentful that Ghost Leopard and the others had betrayed Spirit Hall and the Pope!
Aside from Tuoba Yu, the disciples of the Saint Dragon Clan were trapped in a sea of fire, their screams filling the air.
"It's so hot! I'm burning! Aaah!"
"Don't..."
In mid-air, Gu Xuan watched the scene with an indifferent expression. His heart felt no ripples, for this world was just that cruel. To achieve certain goals, one would inevitably touch the interests of others, and the final result was nothing more than survival or death.
Looking at the Saint Dragon Clan disciples in the flames, the dozen or so Soul Douluos who didn't dare to breathe loudly, and the soldiers rushing from all directions to reinforce Tuoba Yu, Gu Xuan spoke loudly.
"This Prince is here! Those who commit treason, those who usurp power, and those who act against the natural order shall all die!"
"Considering that you were all deceived by others, those who lay down their weapons shall live. Those who resist... shall die!"
At this moment, Gu Xuan's dominance was fully displayed, his entire being radiating brilliance. Beside him, Dugu Yan looked at him with stars in her eyes, feeling an impulse to tuck him away for herself!
Below, except for the Saint Dragon Clan and Bibi Dong's die-hard loyalists, everyone dropped their weapons. Those dozen or so Soul Douluos directly crouched where they were, not daring to harbor the slightest thought of resistance!
What a joke. The Saint Dragon Douluo, who had fought back so fiercely, was currently lying in a pool of blood. What ripples could a dozen Soul Douluos possibly cause? Those were four Titled Douluos up there, not four cabbages!
