Threat

The ground was stained black; Qian Xunji's Titan Firmament Cannon had caused him severe internal injuries.

Black Mist gathered behind Xue Ye.

A slender figure emerged from the mist, her black skirt billowing in the air.

Xiao Wu, barefoot and dangling in the air, glanced at the injured Tang Yin, her expression unreadable.

" On this Xue Ye, send out troops."

A flicker of struggle flashed in Xue Ye's eyes.

He gazed at the heavily fortified Spirit City ahead. He had been a peaceful emperor for so long, and even when he personally led an expedition, he had never once pushed so many people to fill a city wall.

"Sending troops would result in many deaths, even against the Spirit Hall, this is still..."

"You dare disobey me?"

Xue Ye's body trembled violently, then he waved his right hand forward. "All troops—charge!"

A thousand troops roared in fury.

Hundreds of thousands of black-armored soldiers went from stillness to charging, their battle cries shaking the heavens, as they surged toward Spirit City.

Qian Xunji's gaze passed over the charging army, over the Xue Ye and Tang Xiao and his son, and locked onto the figure that stepped out of the Black Mist.

Now all speculation can be put aside; this person is the mastermind behind it all.

On the city wall, the Soul Guidance Cannon fired in unison.

The Soul Guidance Ray intertwined to form a net of fire, and wherever the rays swept, black-armored soldiers fell in droves like wheat being harvested.

In particular, the Light-Breaking Shell containing the attribute of light are extremely harmful to these people.

In less than a minute, the Heaven Dou side had suffered tens of thousands of casualties.

Bibi Xi leaned against the battlements, watching the black-armored soldiers charge forward one after another, completely mesmerized.

"Are they crazy? How dare they charge in like that?"

Ling Yuan stood beside him. She had been on many missions over the years, but the scene before her was unlike anything she had ever witnessed...

"Is this what war is? Whose children are these people? Whose parents are they?"

Qian Xunji said, "If we want to end this war, we have to kill that person. I'm going to meet him. You're in charge of defending this place."

"Okay, brother-in-law, don't worry."

Immediately, Qian Xunji swept across the sky above the battlefield, heading straight towards Xiao Wu's direction.

Xiao Wu hovered in mid-air, watching the golden meteor fly towards her, a look of resentment on her face.

She will remember that face forever.

It was he who killed his mother, and her companions Daming and Erming.

This mortal enemy is flying towards her.

"Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo."

"You two kill him together."

Chen Xin and Gu Rong exchanged a glance.

A flicker of struggle flashed in both of their eyes, before they respectfully lowered their heads.

Two of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School's sect-guarding Douluo responded to the call and Qian Xunji.

The oppressive aura emanating from them was clearly at the level of Peak Douluo.

Qian Xunji stopped in mid-air, looking at the two old acquaintances blocking her way, a fleeting look of surprise on her face.

He thought to himself: They are Peak Douluo, it seems that these two must have taken those pills and been forcibly elevated to this level.

After thinking it over, Qian Xunji said, "I know you've been threatened."

"But instead of resisting, you want to continue working for her?"

"When has the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect ever served as someone else's weapon?"

Chen Xin said, "We also want to rebel, but she is a god."

"We tried, but it didn't hurt her in the slightest."

Now, thousands of lives in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, as well as Ning Fengzhi's wife and daughters, are all in her hands.

The lives of the sect's elders, children, and women were in her hands; she couldn't gamble with their pride.

Gu Rong said wearily, "Stop resisting. The Spirit Hall can't fight against the gods."

"We don't want to fight either, but you and the Spirit Hall really have no chance of winning."

Qian Xunji's gaze fell on Xiao Wu, who was watching coldly from behind. "Who is she?"

Just as Chen Xin was about to speak, Xiao Wu's icy voice pierced through. "Why waste your breath on him?"

"Yes."

Chen Xin released the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul, holding it upright in front of his chest. "Qian Xunji, your fate is only death."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword's momentum surged forth.

The Seven Kill Sword emitted a sharp sword aura.

"Sixth Soul Skill - Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin"

At the same time, Gu Rong's body rapidly expanded, transforming into a black Bone Dragon with its bone wings spreading out to blot out the sky and ghostly flames burning in its empty eye sockets.

"Seventh Soul Skill - Martial Soul Avatar"

"Fourth Soul Skill - Bone Prison Cage"

Several thick bone spikes burst forth from the void, Qian Xunji forming a bone prison.

Qian Xunji remained calm, and golden flames erupted from his body.

"Seventh Soul Skill - Angel True Body"

The Angel, wielding a holy sword, exerted a divine pressure that caused the surrounding bone spikes to crack inch by inch.

Immediately afterwards, two more wings of light bloomed from the six wings, "Eighth Soul Skill - Eight-Winged Angel."

Holy Light poured into his body, and his aura surged once more.

He gripped the Sword of Angels with both hands, the holy flames on its blade burning at their most intense intensity, and with a single sweep... the Bone Prison Cage was cleanly severed, the shattered bone fragments incinerated into ashes by the holy flames before they even hit the ground.

The sword's momentum continued, slashing directly at Chen Xin's Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin, the two sword intents colliding fiercely in mid-air.

Chen Xin was jolted back several steps. He steadied himself, looked up at the eight-winged golden figure, and his face was filled with solemnity.

"I never imagined you'd become so terrifyingly strong."

Qian Xunji stood with his sword held horizontally, and the two simultaneously released their domains.

The Angel Domain and the Seven Kill Domain collided violently, tearing the entire sky in two.

Qian Xunji was firmly held back outside the city gate by the Sword and Bone Twin Douluo, while more black-armored soldiers outside the city charged forward with shouts of battle.

The battle below the city walls has reached its most critical moment.

The Clear Sky Sect father and son led tens of thousands of elite black-armored soldiers through the firepower of the Soul Guidance Cannon and charged straight towards the city gate.

The Soul Guidance Cannon hit them, but couldn't even hurt their skin.

Tang Xiao the lead, shouted loudly, and smashed the Clear Sky Hammer onto the city gate.

With a deafening crash, the heavy city gate was smashed into pieces.

The city gate has been breached.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Xiao leaped onto the city wall, raised the black Clear Sky Hammer high above his head, and smashed it down towards the nearest Ling Yuan.

The pressure from the level 99 Peak Douluo pressed down like a mountain, and Ling Yuan felt her whole body sink.

"Wife, watch out!"

Bibi Xi reacted instantly and stepped in front of her.

"Secret Technique: Thousand Silk Myriad Transformations!"

He raised his hand, and countless spider silk threads shot towards Tang Yin.

Tang Xiao roared, neither dodging nor avoiding, and the Soul Power of Peak Douluo exploded into black waves around him.

The spider silk snapped as it touched the air blast, shattering into countless fragments by the terrifying force.

"Xiao Xi."

The Ling Yuan Blazing Spirit Kite Martial Soul, was unleashed, and wings spread behind her, a loud kite cry piercing the battlefield.

A crimson pillar of fire swept towards Tang Yin, forcing him to take a half-step back.

Tang Xiao's hammer missed its target, and the Clear Sky Hammer struck the city wall, blasting a large hole and sending debris flying into the sky.

Ling Yuan was sent flying by the shockwave.

Tang Xiao gave her no chance to catch her breath.

He gripped the Clear Sky Hammer, black lightning crackling across his body, and his fifth Soul Ring lit up. "Fifth Soul Skill, Heaven-Surpassing Strike!"
