Throne, Redemption!

Throne, Redemption!

Bibi Dong watched Qian Renyu's usual composure with cold eyes.

Her face was dark, brimming with displeasure. She wanted to intervene and let Dugu Bo leave.

But Qian Renyu didn't give her the slightest consideration. Even now, he still looked down at everyone from on high.

His absolute, kingly bearing was as irritating as ever.

Still, actually killing Dugu Bo was out of the question. Bibi Dong refused to do such a thing herself.

The other Title Douluo—all the elders who held that rank—hovered in the air.

They all watched Dugu Bo unleash his full power. The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's poison was indeed domineering.

As Title Douluo, they had little reason to fear Dugu Bo's poisonous abilities. But they couldn't ignore the many ordinary citizens of Spirit City.

One by one, all eyes turned toward Qian Renyu.

But no matter how they looked at him, he remained impossible to read.

Beneath the Divine Throne of Doom and Slaughter, the Spirit City soldiers and Soul Masters who had already fallen also turned their eyes toward Qian Renyu.

As citizens of Spirit City, they were puzzled by why Qian Renyu still hadn't retaliated. At the same time, they worried whether their lives, now hanging by a thread, could still be saved.

"Old Chrysanthemum, do you think His Holiness is holding back some big move?" Gui Mei whispered to Yue Guan.

Yue Guan shook his head. "How would I know what His Holiness is thinking? But ever since he truly began to assert himself, he hasn't done anything he wasn't sure he could pull off."

"Damn..." Gui Mei drew in a sharp breath. "That seems true. Whether it was forcing his way into power or all the other things he's done, he's always been confident and in control."

Yue Guan nodded. "Exactly. His Holiness has always been like that, so your guess isn't unreasonable. It might well be the case."

Gui Mei pondered. "Then the rest should be His Holiness's show alone. But with Spirit City in this state, I wonder how he plans to deal with it."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei continued their quiet conversation.

Just then, a figure suddenly emerged in the distance.

He was immensely sturdy, and before he had even drawn near, his overwhelming aura had already swept over them.

At the same time, a series of Soul Rings appeared around him.

Two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red.

His terrifying, forceful Soul Power dispersed much of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's poison.

"Xiao Yu, you may have taken things a bit too far this time. Make sure you can bring it to a proper end!"

The newcomer spoke kindly as he flew to a spot near Qian Renyu, opposite Bibi Dong on the other side of the Divine Throne of Doom and Slaughter.

Qian Renyu smiled faintly. "Golden Crocodile Grandpa, did the Old Master ask you to come out?"

The newcomer was none other than the Second Worship of the Worship Hall, a true pillar of Spirit Hall and a Level 98 Power Attack System Title Douluo—Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded. "Big Brother asked me to come help you deal with this. Taking down Dugu Bo will require some effort."

"So I came out to kill him for you, Xiao Yu, before he can stir up more trouble in Spirit City!"

"Otherwise, the entire city really could end up as he described. No one below the rank of Title Douluo would survive!"

"Spirit City cannot become an empty city!"

As he finished speaking,

Golden Crocodile Douluo released all his Soul Power.

He stood as immovable as a mountain, yet his very presence weighed on everyone like a mountain pressing down from above.

"Golden Crocodile Grandpa, the last time you came out was when I awakened my Martial Soul."

"You haven't left the Worship Hall in all these years. Since you've finally come out, there's no reason for you to fight on my behalf!"

"Since you've come out at last, just watch from the sidelines. Everything here is still under my control!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo looked surprised.

Seeing Qian Renyu so composed, the surprise on his face gradually gave way to a pleased smile.

"Good, good, good!"

"Xiao Yu, I never thought you'd grown so much over the years!"

"Since you've said that, I'll watch and see how you take control of the whole situation!"

"If you can't handle it, then I'll help you put an end to all of this!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo suppressed his Soul Power.

He heeded Qian Renyu's words and didn't attack right away.

On the other side, Bibi Dong heard Qian Renyu claim that he still had everything under control.

Her eyes narrowed slightly.

This man...

Everything is still under his control?

He doesn't seem to have any talent for poison. How does he plan to deal with the chaos Dugu Bo has caused?

Bibi Dong couldn't be sure.

She pondered as she studied Qian Renyu.

Meanwhile,

Dugu Bo saw Golden Crocodile Douluo appear.

The pressure on him increased severalfold.

The disparity in Soul Power was so vast that, without even exchanging blows, he could already feel how powerful and terrifying Golden Crocodile Douluo was.

"Dugu Bo, that man is Golden Crocodile Douluo of Spirit Hall. His strength has already reached Level 98."

"Don't try to fight him head-on. Look for a chance to escape. We'll cover your retreat!"

Ning Fengzhi's voice transmission reached Dugu Bo's ears.

As he sent the message, Ning Fengzhi exchanged a glance with Sword Douluo.

Sword Douluo stayed put, but he was ready to cover their retreat at any moment.

Dugu Bo understood what Ning Fengzhi meant. Hearing that Golden Crocodile Douluo was a Level 98 Title Douluo, his heart sank.

He took a deep breath and held nothing back.

The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul let out a shrill cry, and its emerald poison fog spread to its fullest extent.

Before, it had spread at a visible pace. Now, in an instant, it swept over the entire city of Spirit City.

Everyone touched by the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's poison collapsed in agony. Ordinary citizens had no chance of enduring it for even a moment.

In the blink of an eye, people were falling along Spirit City's streets. Their faint, labored breathing echoed from one end of the city to the other.

Dugu Bo had everything under control. After unleashing the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's poison to its fullest, he dared not linger. He certainly didn't dare fight Golden Crocodile Douluo head-on.

The enormous Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor swiftly twisted its body and shot off like lightning, fleeing in the direction opposite the Pope's Palace.

Seeing Dugu Bo set his mind on retreating, Qian Renyu held the Sword of Doom and Slaughter in his hand.

He placed both hands lightly on its hilt, its tip resting gently on the ground before the Throne.

"Dugu Bo, after harming the people of Spirit City, do you still think you can leave here alive?"

Dugu Bo ignored Qian Renyu's challenge. Standing atop the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, he watched Spirit City and laughed without looking back.

"Qian Renyu, if you don't want me to leave alive, then come after me!"

"But if I die, all these people in Spirit City are doomed. Your city will become a true ghost town!"

Qian Renyu smiled faintly. "Dugu Bo, you certainly have a lot of confidence in yourself. In that case, I won't waste any more words on you."

"The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor poison you're so proud of is nothing special!"

As he spoke,

Qian Renyu raised the Sword of Doom and Slaughter in his hand slightly.

The blade struck the golden ground with a resounding impact. A terrifying shockwave erupted from the Divine Throne of Doom and Slaughter and surged in every direction.

Brilliant golden light instantly caught up with every area covered by the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's poison. It swept over the entire city of Spirit City, replacing the poison with a golden glow.

At the same time, Qian Renyu's confident voice rang in the ears of everyone in Spirit City:

"Throne, Redemption!!"
