How dare you!
On the city wall, Gui Mei's eyes suddenly narrowed.
Liu Erlong had clearly seen him guarding Yu Xiaogang, yet she still charged forward without a second thought. She plainly didn't take a Titled Douluo like him seriously.
With a cold snort, he rushed toward Liu Erlong like a phantom.
If a mighty Titled Douluo let Liu Erlong rescue Yu Xiaogang right under his nose,
there would be nowhere left for him in the vast Spirit City.
His only option would be to find a block of tofu and smash himself to death.
Yu Xiaogang's heart leaped into his throat. He hoped Liu Erlong could rescue him, yet at the same time, he was terrified to see Gui Mei move with lightning speed.
The gap between a Titled Douluo and a Soul Saint couldn't be bridged by a small margin.
Liu Erlong's eyes were bloodshot. As Gui Mei swooped toward her, she had no thought of dodging.
At that moment, her confidence had reached its absolute peak.
I may only be a Rank 79 Power Attack System Soul Saint, but even if I can't beat a Titled Douluo, there's no way I can't withstand even one move.
As long as I get one chance, I can definitely take Xiao Gang with me!
Liu Erlong thought to herself as she charged toward the sky, her speed increasing instead of slowing. Dragon roars seemed to sound faintly around her.
Gui Mei's expression was cold, and a flicker of anger appeared on his gloomy face.
Reading the meaning in Liu Erlong's expression, he revealed all nine of his Soul Rings.
At the same time, his ninth Soul Ring lit up at once, its black, Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring glow blazing brightly.
Gui Mei drew a deep breath. His hoarse voice rang out on both sides of the city wall.
Ninth Soul Skill: Hell Wangliang!
Surging Soul Power burst from Gui Mei, and countless black claws sprang up from beneath the city wall.
In an instant, every black claw darted toward Liu Erlong at incredible speed.
No matter how fast Liu Erlong was, she seemed helpless before the black claws.
Damn it!
This Titled Douluo has no sense of honor!
He's using his strongest move, his ninth Soul Skill, against me right from the start!
Liu Erlong shuddered with fear, cursing inwardly.
Relying on her strength as a Rank 79 Power Attack System Soul Saint, she had assumed Gui Mei wouldn't take her too seriously. She only needed to find the slightest opening to rescue Yu Xiaogang.
But now, Gui Mei had unleashed his ninth Soul Skill, shattering every part of her plan.
"Er Long!"
Yu Xiaogang couldn't help shouting.
He saw the black claws about to seize Liu Erlong, and his heart leaped into his throat.
Yu Xiaogang was confident, but not so confident that he believed Liu Erlong could withstand the ninth Soul Skill of a Titled Douluo like Gui Mei.
Go!
Just then, a powerful voice rang out.
A layer of azure light suddenly swept toward Liu Erlong from afar.
Tiny blue swords covered the glow, and sword energy rippled across it, cold enough to chill one to the bone.
Bang, bang, bang—
The black claws struck the barrier.
It wavered slightly, but the black claws couldn't break through it.
Liu Erlong came to her senses. Seeing herself suddenly protected by sword energy, she felt the deadly threat around her fade.
Outside the city walls, among the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's convoy,
a white-haired Chen Xin stood atop a flying sword, one hand behind his back and the other pointing two joined fingers toward the sword energy before Liu Erlong.
The flying sword looked slow, yet it reached the city walls in an instant, stopping not far from Gui Mei and Liu Erlong.
With the sword energy in the way, Gui Mei couldn't continue attacking Liu Erlong. And she didn't dare break through the barrier Chen Xin had created and face Gui Mei's ninth Soul Skill head-on.
"Gui Mei, you're a Titled Douluo, yet you're using your ninth Soul Skill against a Soul Saint. Isn't that a little too much like bullying the weak?"
Chen Xin stood on the Seven Kill Sword.
His calm gaze rested levelly on Gui Mei. Unlike the others, he showed none of their shock at the sight of him.
As a Titled Douluo whose strength surpassed Gui Mei's, he felt none of the awe the others did.
Gui Mei's eyes narrowed slightly. Seeing Chen Xin appear among the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's ranks, he looked uneasy.
"Chen Xin, this is Spirit Hall's business!"
"Does the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect want to interfere in Spirit Hall's affairs, too?!"
Gui Mei's hoarse voice rang out as he forced himself to challenge Chen Xin.
Chen Xin said nothing, simply regarding Gui Mei calmly.
His indifferent voice drifted lightly through the area.
"I have no interest in interfering in Spirit Hall's internal affairs."
"However, Yu Xiaogang is a teacher at Shrek Academy, and our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's little princess is studying there!"
"I only intervened because you, Gui Mei, were bullying someone weaker than yourself!"
Chen Xin's answer left no room for reproach.
At that moment, he looked exactly like someone who didn't want to get involved, but wouldn't stand by and let Gui Mei do as he pleased.
Chen Xin is here now. There's no way I can make a move. If I do, he'll definitely stop me!
There's a huge gap between our strength. I'm no match for him!
Gui Mei furrowed his brow and stared fixedly at Chen Xin.
He wanted to keep attacking, but after thinking it over, he couldn't find an opening.
Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed.
Chen Xin's sudden intervention was like a shot of courage straight to his heart.
A moment ago, he'd been worried that Liu Erlong might not be strong enough to get him out. Now, he wasn't worried at all.
He was practically bursting with energy.
I didn't realize it before, but Shrek Academy has more than just His Excellency Haotian behind Xiao San!
Behind Ning Rongrong is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which has Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, both Titled Douluos!
Things are looking even better now. With Sword Douluo stopping Gui Mei, he won't be able to keep me here. It should be easy for Er Long to get me out!
Yu Xiaogang thought excitedly.
His eyes instantly lit up.
Just as he was brimming with joy and felt as though spring had finally arrived,
a red halo swept over from afar, and a dazzling golden Throne slowly emerged from the void.
At the same time, Qian Renyu appeared by the city wall.
Under everyone's gaze, Qian Renyu sat calmly on the Throne.
He rested his hands on its carved armrests and looked calmly toward Chen Xin.
"Senior Chen Xin, I respect you as a senior in the Soul Master World. You said Gui Mei was bullying someone weaker than himself and going too far."
"Then today, I'll simply bully someone stronger than myself!"
"What do you think of that?"
Before you continue
