Qian Renxue Slaps Xue Xing!

While chaos erupted within the imperial palace, even more people in Heaven Dou City rushed toward the scene, including the three education committee members of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, Duke Shijian, and others.

"What exactly is Imperial Uncle trying to do?" On the way, Qian Renxue also furiously demanded of those beside her, "Doesn't he know that privately mobilizing troops is a capital offense?"

Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads tightly and did not dare say much. They had no desire to casually involve themselves in matters within the royal family.

Taking in everyone's reactions, Qian Renxue was not as furious inside as she appeared. She was considering how to use this opportunity to utterly condemn Xue Xing beyond redemption. At the same time, she wanted to take this chance to assess the strength of those from Sun Moon Continent.

In secret, Snake Lance Douluo had already headed to the scene ahead of them to gather intelligence.

"Rumble!"

"You little bastards, you actually dared to fool me. Let's see if my aim has gotten rusty."

Outside Myriad Treasures Pavilion, under Xue Xing's command, countless knights launched a charge at Xu Tianyang and the others. As long as he captured them, he would still have a chance.

Unfortunately, even with three Soul Saints, seven Soul Emperors, and the support of numerous Soul Kings, his army was still held at the entrance by Xu Sheng alone.

After the other side brought out those strange Soul Tools, he began bombarding them relentlessly. The Soul Guidance Rays fired from each cannon barrel were extraordinarily powerful; even Soul Saints would be injured if struck.

When thousands upon thousands of Soul Tool Cannons fired together, they finally understood what true despair was.

One man formed an army, preventing the knight regiment Xue Xing had brought from advancing even a single step. In just a few minutes, more than half of the regiment had already been lost.

For the first time, the people of Douluo Continent experienced the art of explosions.

"Ah... a devil! He's a devil..."

As fear spread, no matter how Xue Xing shouted, they refused to take another step forward. This was simply a one-sided massacre.

"So this is a Soul Tool..." Snake Lance Douluo had arrived early and witnessed the slaughter with his own eyes. Looking at the corpses strewn everywhere, even his spine chilled.

Although those Soul Tools were not particularly powerful, merely equivalent to Soul Kings, quantitative change brought qualitative change. When countless shells rained down upon you, even he could not guarantee that he would survive.

After all, he was still flesh and blood. He could be injured, he could bleed, and he could die.

"Everyone, stop!"

At that moment, a stern shout rang out. Qian Renxue had finally arrived with the others. Seeing this horrific scene, everyone trembled inwardly, feeling as though the sky had fallen.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, this old man requires an explanation." Xu Sheng also stopped the bombardment at the right moment, secretly recovering his Soul Power as he stared coldly at Qian Renxue in the distance.

"Hah!" Taking a deep breath and suppressing the shock in her heart, Qian Renxue walked up to the seemingly stunned Xue Xing and swung her hand across his face.

"Slap!" No one had expected the Crown Prince to strike his own imperial uncle.

"Men, take Prince Xue Xing away." Taking the chance to get a small measure of revenge on Xue Xing, Qian Renxue looked at Xu Sheng and the others, explaining solemnly, "Elder Xu, all of this was the unilateral action of my imperial uncle. It does not represent the attitude of the royal family. I hope Myriad Treasures Pavilion will not misunderstand. Heaven Dou Empire warmly welcomes you all and maintains a friendly attitude toward Sun Moon Continent."

"Heh, you want to brush this aside with a claim of personal action? If we had not stopped you, would we have become prisoners of Heaven Dou Empire by now?" Xu Sheng sneered, pressing her step by step.

"Boom!"

Another loud explosion sounded. The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor in the sky had vanished, leaving only a giant dragon suspended overhead. Its enormous, icy dragon eyes stared down at the crowd, its frigid aura sending chills through everyone.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

A bout of coughing sounded. In midair, Xu Yunxiao stood suspended with the constantly blood-coughing Dugu Bo. Dugu Bo no longer looked as impressive as when he had first appeared. His gray robe was tattered, and his aura had weakened to the extreme.

"If Heaven Dou Empire believes us to be weak and easily bullied, then I am afraid you will all be disappointed."

Xu Yunxiao's voice was ice-cold. Having occupied a high position for many years, the pressure of authority he exuded made everyone struggle to breathe.

"Heaven Dou Empire has no intention of becoming enemies with Myriad Treasures Pavilion. Ning can guarantee that."

Just as the atmosphere grew oppressive, Ning Fengzhi finally arrived. Light and shadow flickered in the distance, and two figures had appeared beside Qian Renxue at some unknown time.

On the right stood a figure holding a dazzling pagoda radiating seven-colored light. It was Ning Fengzhi. Beside him stood a tall, elderly man with sparse hair: Bone Douluo Gu Rong.

"And how do you explain today's matter?" Xu Yunxiao narrowed his eyes at the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda in Ning Fengzhi's palm, as well as Bone Douluo.

From his senses, Bone Douluo's Soul Power Level was not much different from his own, likely also level ninety-five. Yet with Ning Fengzhi's support, his power had risen across the board, entering an entirely different realm.

So this was the true value of Douluo Continent's number one support-type martial soul?

It truly lived up to its reputation.

"This matter was indeed Prince Xue Xing's fault. Brother Xu, rest assured. Fengzhi guarantees that the royal family will give you all a satisfactory answer." Looking at Xue Xing, who resembled a dead dog, Ning Fengzhi felt his chest tighten.

This idiot had nearly ruined everything.

"I can pretend this never happened, but Heaven Dou Empire must agree to three conditions." Xu Yunxiao looked calmly at Ning Fengzhi and Qian Renxue.

Their expressions immediately darkened. They thought Xu Yunxiao intended to demand an exorbitant price. They had already given him a way out; if he failed to appreciate it, they were not people with good tempers either.

The increasing number of Soul Masters around them was their source of confidence. This was, after all, the Imperial Capital of Heaven Dou Empire, and the forces they could mobilize were extremely formidable.

"Woooo!"

At that moment, a deep horn sounded. Countless fiery-red points of light suddenly appeared in the distant sky. They moved with astonishing speed and, in the blink of an eye, reached the skies above Heaven Dou City, spreading out in a perfectly coordinated fan formation.

There were more than a hundred of them. Every one of them was a powerhouse above the Soul King rank, while the leaders were three Soul Saints. Hundreds of Soul Rings filled the sky, plunging all of Heaven Dou City into silence.

Terrifying Soul Tool Cannons rose from their bodies. In an instant, at least several thousand cannon barrels aimed at Heaven Dou City.

Once they erupted together, their power would be enough to destroy heaven and earth.

They were the Fire Phoenix Soul Tool Regiment, one of Sun Moon Empire's five elite Soul Tool Regiments. Since Xu Yunxiao had dared to personally venture into Douluo Continent, he had naturally prepared ample trump cards.

The Fire Phoenix Soul Tool Regiment was one of them.
