"Fifth Soul Skill—Might Shatter the Four Directions!"
Within the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, powerful Seven Kill Sword energy erupted and poured forth wildly.
The tranquil Heaven Dou City was once again thrown into turmoil.
Outside the palace hall, four figures were sent flying at the same time.
Countless fierce sword energies ravaged the air, while blood drifted through the sky.
Bang!
The four landed, each spitting out a mouthful of blood.
They were the three education committee members of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, along with Qian Renxue, who had returned disguised as Xue Qinghe.
Chen Xin strode out from the hall, sword in his Left Hand.
Behind him, Xue Beng, Tang San, Ning Fengzhi, Flender, Liu Erlong, and Prince Xue Xing, seated in a wheelchair, emerged from the hall side by side.
"Once the traitor Xue Qinghe is killed, I will fulfill every condition I promised you!"
Xue Beng was high-spirited, dressed in imperial robes.
After Xue Ye died suddenly and Xue Qinghe vanished,
Xue Beng, Xue Ye's fourth son, successfully ascended the throne.
Because Shen Tianyu had wreaked havoc in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, the royal family's prestige had plummeted, and the entire Heaven Dou Empire had become unstable from within.
Tang San and Yu Xiaogang had taken the opportunity to propose that Ning Fengzhi help Xue Beng ascend the throne.
In exchange, control over the Heaven Dou Empire's finances would be handed entirely to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Shrek Academy would be elevated to the number one academy of the Heaven Dou Empire and receive strong support from the royal family.
To stabilize his throne, Xue Beng had no choice but to agree.
Today, while the group had been discussing matters, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe suddenly appeared.
The people who had already been tied to the same boat were immediately at a loss.
Tang San seized the chance to speak, forcibly pinning the charge of colluding with foreign enemies and murdering the late emperor on Xue Qinghe.
Using that as an excuse, the group immediately began fighting.
That earlier strike had been unleashed by Chen Xin.
The three education committee members had always supported the crown prince and had stepped forward without hesitation.
Yet that single move had severely injured them on the spot.
Qian Renxue was no better off. Although the three had blocked the attack for her, she had still suffered considerable injuries.
"Tang San, I'll remember this!"
Her Eyes fixed tightly on Tang San, Qian Renxue's heart burned with fury.
"Since ancient times, the victor becomes king and the loser a bandit. Xue Qinghe, this is your fate!"
Tang San narrowed his Eyes. From the furious Eyes of Qian Renxue, he sensed intense Killing intent.
This person had already chosen the path to death. He could not be allowed to live.
"Uncle Ning, do it!"
Ning Fengzhi nodded and spoke with a sigh.
"Qinghe, I taught you for many years. We could be considered master and disciple. It is truly helpless that things have come to this.
For the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I can only sacrifice you. I will also do my utmost to assist His Majesty Xue Beng and restore Heaven Dou's glory!
Uncle Sword, make your move!"
After putting on that hypocritical display, the helplessness in Ning Fengzhi's Eyes turned into Killing intent.
He had originally been a staunch supporter of the crown prince, but for control over the Heaven Dou Empire's finances, he had chosen to switch sides without hesitation.
By controlling the Heaven Dou Empire's finances, he could gather Heaven Dou's wealth.
Then he could arm the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and push it to another peak.
Ning Fengzhi, who placed profit above all else, naturally would not show mercy.
Chen Xin held the Seven Kill Sword and thrust it straight at Qian Renxue.
The tyrannical Seven Kill Sword energy unleashed overwhelming pressure, suppressing the Soul Power within Qian Renxue's body.
Facing this sword, there was nowhere left to dodge.
I can only use that move!
She mobilized the Spiritual Energy within her body and touched her forehead with one hand.
The Sword Mark hidden between her brows lit up, and pure sword-path power shot forth.
"What?"
Chen Xin was greatly shocked as the sword-path power had already blasted toward him.
The Seven Kill Sword trembled and was directly knocked aside by the sword-path power.
"Seven Kill Domain!"
Boom!
The domain unfolded, and his Soul Power rapidly soared.
An even more powerful pressure bloomed, descending directly upon Qian Renxue.
Pfft~
Qian Renxue spat out a mouthful of blood, and the Soul Power in her body was thrown into complete disorder.
The Disguise Soul Skill attached to her spirit bone was shattered by that pressure.
Of course, that had not been Chen Xin's intention. He had merely wanted to block the sword-path power.
The moment the Seven Kill Domain was released, the Seven Kill Sword Intent was pushed to its limits, forming a protective screen of sword energy In front of him.
When the sword-path power struck the sword-energy barrier, it exploded instantly, turning into streams of sword energy that rapidly shot outward.
Chen Xin retreated step by step, yet was still wounded by the sword energy. Countless Sword Marks were left on his robes, and dots of blood stained his white garments.
"Xue Qinghe, you really were in league with that person!"
When the sword-path power between Qian Renxue's brows erupted, everyone present shuddered.
That power was far too familiar. They had all once lived beneath Shen Tianyu's shadow.
"Damn it!"
Chen Xin flew into a rage and raised his hand to recall the Seven Kill Sword.
His previous defeat at Shen Tianyu's hands had already left him utterly humiliated.
Today, he had nearly suffered another major loss.
Since he could not find Shen Tianyu, he could only vent his anger on Xue Qinghe.
"Who exactly are you?"
Xue Beng cried out, staring dumbfoundedly at Qian Renxue.
At that moment, everyone present was stunned.
Xue Qinghe, who had been a man, had turned into a woman.
Everyone wore strange expressions. Could it be that Xue Qinghe had been a woman all along?
But that possibility was quickly dismissed.
Ning Fengzhi narrowed his Eyes and was the first to notice what was different about Qian Renxue's forehead.
That tiny Angel Imprint clearly revealed her identity.
"Six-Winged Angel Imprint—you're from Spirit Hall!"
As soon as These Words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed in shock.
Someone from Spirit Hall had disguised herself as Xue Qinghe and come to seize the Heaven Dou throne.
If she had truly succeeded, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"By the looks of it, the real crown prince has already met with foul play!
I never expected Spirit Hall to fish in troubled waters at a time like this, hoping to profit from it!"
Ning Fengzhi voiced his speculation, a smile appearing on his face.
"His Majesty Xue Beng, no one can shake your throne anymore!
As for this woman, just kill her!"
"Sect Master Ning, wouldn't this provoke Spirit Hall?"
Xue Beng was somewhat worried. Spirit Hall was currently at the height of its power across the continent.
Killing a Six-Winged Angel soul master so casually would undoubtedly amount to declaring war on Spirit Hall.
"Nothing will happen. Spirit Hall sent someone to impersonate Xue Qinghe in an attempt to usurp the Heaven Dou throne.
Once This matter is made public, it will greatly damage Spirit Hall's reputation.
To protect their reputation, they will never dare act against the royal family.
Spirit Hall will have no choice but to swallow this loss!"
Before Ning Fengzhi could speak, Tang San laid out his analysis, explaining whether this course of action had any drawbacks.
"Little San is right. His Majesty, rest assured. Uncle Sword, strike and kill her!"
"Fine!"
Chen Xin raised his sword again. Seven Kill Sword energy erupted as he charged directly toward Qian Renxue.
Just then, two powerful auras erupted.
"Chen Xin, how dare you!"
A Snake Lance struck from the side, intercepting the Seven Kill Sword midway.
The newcomer was Snake Lance Douluo, She Long.
"Young Master, your subordinate arrived late!"
The plump Porcupinefish Douluo descended beside Qian Renxue and helped her to her feet.
"Thank you for saving me, Uncles!"
Boom!
Sword energy exploded, sending Snake Lance Douluo flying backward.
Chen Xin stood with his sword in hand, Cold Eyes sweeping over the two.
"Fengzhi, what do you say?"
"Little San, what do you think?"
Ning Fengzhi turned to ask. He greatly approved of this Grandmaster's disciple and had often sought Tang San's advice and counsel lately.
"Two Titled Douluo came to save her. This woman's identity is not simple. She must be eliminated, or there will be endless trouble later!"
