When Life Goes Out Like a Lamp, So Do Oaths!

"Your grandfather? Qian Daoliu?!"

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Xue Ke was struck dumb, her face turning deathly pale instantly!

Long ago, Xue Ke, a princess of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, knew that the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire, though seemingly coexisting peacefully, were actually enemies, not friends.

However, she was too naive at the time, thinking that the Heaven Dou Empire had a million-strong army, and that even the Spirit Hall, with its many powerful figures, might not be able to defeat the empire.

Even a super strong person at the Title Douluo level is still just a mortal with limited Soul Power.

Unless it's a powerful expert like Dugu Bo who is particularly skilled at large-scale killing, an ordinary Title Douluo, even if they fight to the death, can only kill tens of thousands of people at most.

In the history of the Heaven Dou Empire, there was once a well-equipped and well-trained army of 100,000 men who, at the cost of more than half of their troops being killed, managed to surround and kill two Title Douluo!

Such a historical record has always given the Heaven Dou Imperial Family strong confidence that their elite army is enough to restrain the Spirit Hall's powerful Soul Master!

Xue Ke thought so too.

It wasn't until she learned of the two people's existence from her good older sister, Yu Tianmeng.

One of these two people is the current Pope, Bi Bi Dong.

The other one is Qian Daoliu, the former Pope, Judgement Elder, and Chief Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall!

Most importantly, both of them are Peerless Douluo with Soul Power level of 99!

Yu Tianmeng once said: Although the Peerless Douluo is in the mortal realm, he is no longer an ordinary person, but a demigod, and no human can contend with him!

If such a powerful being were to unleash his full power, he could almost move mountains and overturn seas; even an army of a million would suffer a devastating blow!

At that moment, Xue Ke finally understood how fragile and vulnerable the Heaven Dou Empire was in the face of the Spirit Hall!

It's all because of Bi Bi Dong and Qian Daoliu, those two demigods!

From that moment on, Xue Ke developed a genuine fear of these two demigods, whom she had only heard of but never seen.

Now, Qian Daoliu, one of the two demigods, has arrived in Heaven Dou City and has gone to intercept Sister Tian Meng and the other powerful figures from the Purple Micro Palace!

That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying!

Sister Tian Meng, and Yan Zi, Ling Ling, Rong Rong, they can't have already... No, no, absolutely not!

Xue Ke gritted her teeth, repeatedly denying it to herself, but the deep fear in her heart made her involuntarily make bad associations.

A chilling sensation shot straight to her head, instantly draining the color from her face and causing her delicate body to tremble slightly!

"Hehe, my dear sister, are you scared!"

Above, Qian Renxue looked down at Xue Ke and chuckled coldly, "Fear is useless. Anyone who rebels against the Spirit Hall must die!"

Before she finished speaking, Qian Renxue's three pairs of golden wings suddenly fluttered, and she transformed into a golden streak of light, plunging down towards Xue Ke below!

She wanted to end her adopted sister's life with her own hands and achieve the feat of wiping out the entire Heaven Dou Imperial Family!

"Qian Renxue, how dare you!"

Zi JI, transformed into a giant purple dragon, roared angrily, and her enormous dragon claw suddenly rose up, grabbing towards Qian Renxue!

However, She Long, the Snake Spear Douluo who had transformed back into human form from a snake, lightly flicked his Snake Lance, creating nine beams of light that merged with his own, and thrust them straight at Zi JI's beautiful purple dragon eyes!

If this spear lands squarely, it would be enough to pierce through Zi JI's head on the spot!

Zi JI didn't want to die, so she had no choice but to withdraw her dragon claw and instead slammed it down hard on the Snake Spear Douluo!

At this moment, the Porcupinefish Douluo Ci Xue once again shot out hundreds and thousands of poisonous thorns from his body, rushing towards the female Soul Master of Tian Xuan and Yao Guang Guard!

These poisonous stings falling from the sky might only be a tickle to a Title Douluo- level powerhouse, but to an ordinary Soul Master, they are nothing short of deadly killing stars!

Now, the female Soul Master who were acting as guards had no way to stop Qian Renxue from swooping down, and could only defend against the dense barrage of poisonous thorns!

"Your Princess Hall!"

The loyal Zhi Xin shouted anxiously, ignoring the barrage of poisonous thorns and completely abandoning defense. His Martial Soul Azure Vine, transformed into a hundred-meter-tall vine that soared into the sky and Entanglement around Qian Renxue!

"Your shimmering light dares to rival the moon's brilliance? Get out of my way!"

Qian Renxue's cold shout suddenly rang out, and then, the tough Azure Vine blocking her way were all easily cut off by the golden light sword burning with holy fire in her hand!

"Wow!"

Due to the backlash from his Martial Soul and the barrage of poisonous thorns, Zhi Xin suddenly coughed up blood and instantly fainted.

It should be noted that Qian Renxue was already exhausted after a series of battles, and her strength was only two or three tenths of what it used to be.

However, even so, Zhi Xin, who was Soul Saint like Qian Renxue, couldn't even withstand a single move!

This shows just how powerful Qian Renxue is!

Having broken through Zhi Xin's obstruction, Xue Ke's pale face was now almost within reach. Qian Renxue sighed and murmured:

"Goodbye, Xue Ke!"

Before she finished speaking, her Angel Holy Sword had already pierced Xue Ke's chest!

At this moment, Xue Ke was no longer afraid; instead, she calmed down.

She did not beg for mercy, nor did she curse Qian Renxue with a vicious tone, nor did she turn to run away. Instead, she gently closed her eyes, opened her arms, and, like a martyred saint, peacefully welcomed her death.

She was a direct descendant of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and the wife of the Palace Mistress of the Purple Micro Palace. Even in death, she wanted to die with dignity.

"Bite!"

A crisp metallic clang rang out, but the expected coldness, numbness, and stinging sensation in her chest did not come. Xue Ke slowly opened her eyes with a puzzled expression.

Just inches from her chest, the tip of Qian Renxue's golden lightsaber struck the spine of a snow-white longsword!

This is a sword made entirely of Swan feathers... Feather Sword. Only Soul Master with the bloodline of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family can cultivate this unique Soul Skill!

"Who are you..."

Xue Ke looked in the direction of the sword hilt and saw an old man with white hair and beard, exuding a dignified aura, standing not far to her side.

Upon seeing the old man, Xue Ke exclaimed with delight, "Grandpa Xue Shan, you're still alive!"

So it was you, you old codger!

Qian Renxue angrily withdrew her Angel Holy Sword, glaring at the old man who had blocked her way, her golden eyes filled with murderous intent!

Yes, the old man who suddenly appeared was none other than Xue Shan, the most senior and strongest elder of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family!

At this moment, Xue Shan, with his thick eyebrows drooping and his wrinkled face grim, said, "I have always suspected that you poisoned the two Imperial Son, but I only thought that your methods were too ruthless. I never expected that you were not Qinghe's nephew, but a woman from the Spirit Hall."

"There's much you didn't expect! Did you ever imagine the Heaven Dou Imperial Family would end up like this?"

Qian Renxue spat lightly and said coldly, "Old man, you're quite tough, and you're good at hiding! I even sent a Title Douluo elder from the Spirit Hall to assassinate you at the palace villa, but I didn't expect that you, a mere Soul Douluo, would actually survive!"

"That must be a real disappointment for you."

Xue Shan's cloudy old eyes looked indifferently at Qian Renxue, and he said calmly, "The Title Douluo you mentioned, is this the fool?"

Before he could finish speaking, a faint light flashed in Xue Shan's hand, and a bloody head was thrown out of the Space Soul Tool!

The head slowly rolled to Qian Renxue's feet, leaving a bloody trail on the ground.

Qian Renxue's heart pounded. She gripped the golden longsword and gently touched the head, wanting to see its true face!

The next second, her expression changed drastically!

"How is this possible? How could you possibly kill Elder Ninth? You're just a Soul Douluo!"

Qian Renxue raised her head, her golden eyes fixed on the Xue Shan, and said in disbelief.

"Soul Douluo? I haven't been in that game for a long time!"

Before the words were even finished, nine Soul Ring —yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—were slowly rising at the foot of the Xue Shan!

Title Douluo!

Xue Shan had actually broken through to the Title Douluo realm long ago, but the outside world was completely unaware!

Three years ago, you were just a level 87 Soul Douluo!

Qian Renxue's face darkened, then she suddenly seemed to remember something, pointed at the Xue Shan, and exclaimed in realization, "It was the Purple Micro Palace! It was the Purple Micro Palace that helped you break through!"

"That's one reason."

With a flick of his sleeve, Xue Shan raised his hand and shot out a milky-white beam of Soul Power, which shattered the bloody head of the Ninth Elder of the Spirit Hall.

Qian Renxue, however, was still murmuring in disbelief.

She never expected that the Ninth Elder of the Spirit Hall would die like this.

This highly respected elder of the Spirit Hall was a level 93 Title Douluo, whose strength was significantly higher than that of Xue Shan, a level 91 Title Douluo.

However, it was also Elder Jiu's bad luck that he was able to kill Xue Shan, who had mistaken him for a level 80 Soul Douluo.

After managing to kill the Ninth Elder, who had been killed instead of in his sneak attack, Xue Shan immediately knew something was wrong.

Just then, Xue Shan sensed the intense Soul Power fluctuations coming from above the Swan Palace, so he rushed over and rescued Xue Ke.

"Ke'er, where is your father?"

Xue Shan was unaware that Xue Ye had already been beheaded by Qian Renxue with a single sword strike, and said urgently.

"Father... is there."

Xue Ke, fighting back tears, pointed to the headless corpse not far away and said in a sobbing voice.

Following the direction Xue Ke pointed, Xue Shan instantly turned blood red and his hair and beard stood on end after just one glance!

"You dare to commit regicide? You're asking for death!"

Enraged, Xue Shan roared and his figure flashed, transforming into a streak of light as he thrust his sword towards Qian Renxue!

Not to be outdone, Qian Renxue unleashed a golden flame several meters high from the Angel Holy Sword in her hand. Then, she gripped the hilt tightly with both hands and swept the huge golden sword out horizontally!

"Boom boom boom!!"

The two swords clashed, and a surging shockwave swept out instantly!

At the same time.

Shrek Academy.

At this moment, Shrek Academy was a scene of carnage, with mountains of corpses, rivers of blood, and shouts of battle reaching the heavens!

More than two thousand Soul Master from the Spirit Hall, led by over one hundred Spirit Emperors, more than thirty Soul Saint, and Soul Douluo, are launching a fierce attack on the Shrek Academy!

Because this is the de facto headquarters of the Purple Micro Palace.

Two thousand Soul Master, under normal circumstances, would not be able to shake Shrek Academy in the slightest.

However, this was a time when Shrek Academy was vulnerable.

Most of the titled Douluo of the Purple Micro Palace are still far away in Spirit City.

The more than two thousand Soul King were originally stationed here and belonged to the Big Dipper Seven Guards were also mostly dispatched by Yu Tianmeng to rescue the Nine Hearted Begonia Ye Family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Black Tortoise Family and other subordinates and allies of the Purple Micro Palace.

Another group of Soul Saint and above from the Purple Micro Palace, led by Xiao Chenyu, assisted Marshal Ge Long's City Garrison guards in their assault on the palace!

At this time, Shrek Academy only had over five hundred Soul King and over seventy powerful Soul Emperors of level 60 or above stationed there.

However, although they had far fewer people than their opponents, the Soul Master of the Purple Micro Palace had a higher average level and had formed powerful ancient cultivation formations such as the Big Dipper Formation. For a time, they fought fiercely with the Soul Master of the Spirit Hall!

Above Shrek Academy, Yu Tianmeng, dressed in a shimmering silver dress, was facing off against an old man in a golden robe!

Behind Yu Tianmeng, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo stood side by side with an elder of the Haotian Sect.

But there was no one behind the old man in the golden robe.

The situation on the field is three against one!

However, although the old man in the golden robe was alone, his aura completely overwhelmed Yu Tianmeng and his two companions.

Even though the old man in the golden robe didn't make a move, Yu Tianmeng and the other two didn't dare to either.

It wasn't that Yu Tianmeng cowardly, but rather that the enemy was too powerful.

This golden-robed elder was none other than the Second Worship of the Spirit Hall, a level 98 Peak Douluo whose strength was second only to Bi Bi Dong and Qian Daoliu — the Golden Crocodile Douluo!

Half an hour ago, after learning that Xue Ke was still in the palace, Yu Tianmeng intended to lead the Purple Micro Palace experts to storm the palace and rescue Xue Ke.

However, before she could even leave the gates of the Shrek Academy, she was blocked back by the Spirit Hall Soul Master led by Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Unlike the fierce battle on the ground, Golden Crocodile Douluo was unwilling to fight Yu Tianmeng and the other two. He simply stopped them and they have been locked in a standoff ever since.

The reason why Golden Crocodile Douluo didn't make a move is actually quite simple: three years ago, the old man accompanied Saintess Hu Liena to Heaven Dou City to buy Longevity Pill.

At that time, Golden Crocodile Douluo had a good relationship with Zhou Chen and Yu Tianmeng, and even helped Purple Micro Palace to besiege the Holy Spirit Church, so the two sides could be considered to have formed a good relationship.

Because of this goodwill, Golden Crocodile Douluo refrained from making a move.

At this moment, after the fierce battle with Hu Liena and several long-distance teleportations, Yu Tianmeng's Space Sacred Dragon Soul Bone was almost entirely in the cooldown period after skill activation, and several powerful Soul Skill could not be used temporarily.

Therefore, her strength is probably less than 30% of what it used to be, making her no match for Golden Crocodile Douluo at his peak.

As for Dugu Bo and that Clear Sky Sect elder, they were merely supporting characters. Even with the two of them, Yu Tianmeng was only confident of fighting Golden Crocodile Douluo to a draw.

Therefore, it is better not to fight.

Another quarter of an hour passed, Yu Tianmeng suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked urgently, "Golden Crocodile Senior, since you've come, have the other elders of the Spirit Hall also arrived?"

Upon hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo narrowed his eyes and said, "You guessed right..."
