Dragon Might, You Should Get Some Sleep!

"We never expected the two of us to say so much to an assassin like you today. Now, I assume you're ready to face death!" the guard with the Blood-Colored Great Cleaver Martial Soul snorted coldly, his expression extremely grim.

The guard beside him with the Black Shield Martial Soul nodded, his blazing gaze fixed on Lin Xiao standing fifty meters away. He raised the black shield in his hand high, fully prepared for battle. His entire body was poised to strike, as though he would unleash a thunderous, swift, and heavy blow upon Lin Xiao the very next moment!

"Indeed. As guards, you have said rather a lot while facing an assassin like me." Lin Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, looking exceptionally calm as he gazed placidly at the two guards nearby.

The two guards were so resolute in believing he was an assassin, while his current situation was extremely awkward. He had no chance to explain himself, nor any way to do so.

"This kid's got guts! Facing two peak Soul Saints like us, he can remain calm in the face of danger without the slightest panic. Interesting! Honestly, if he weren't an assassin, I'd really like to recommend him to His Highness!"

"Unfortunately, he's an assassin!" The guard with the Black Shield Martial Soul carefully observed Lin Xiao's changing expression and could not help sighing in astonishment to the Blood-Colored Great Cleaver Martial Soul guard beside him.

Just then, Lin Xiao began to move. In an instant, the auras of the two guards erupted, displaying the full strength of Soul Saints as they charged straight at Lin Xiao with explosive speed!

In an instant, Lin Xiao vanished from their sight as though he had evaporated into thin air. By the time the two reacted, it was already too late. Lin Xiao had arrived before them, as if appearing from nowhere!

"How is this possible?" the two cried out. Seeing Lin Xiao suddenly appear before them, they rapidly retreated until they reached the palace gates, where they finally had a chance to catch their breath.

The two stared blankly at each other, exchanging looks as they panted heavily. Their faces were full of lingering fear. This was supposed to have been a one-sided crushing victory, so why had their opponent appeared before them so strangely?

"This kid is terrifyingly weird. At that instant, it felt as though I were facing some peerless monster. My heart kept trembling, and my legs actually started backing away on their own!" The Black Shield Martial Soul guard watched Lin Xiao with utter vigilance.

The Blood-Colored Great Cleaver Martial Soul guard beside him felt the same way. The instant Lin Xiao had appeared before them, that invisible yet immense pressure, that aura of profound despair—it could not have been fake!

"I felt the same. This kid is indeed strange and full of mystery. We must treat him cautiously and prepare a thorough response!" the Blood-Colored Great Cleaver Martial Soul guard said to the Black Shield Martial Soul guard beside him.

"Yes, that's right—" Before the Black Shield Martial Soul guard could finish speaking, Lin Xiao, who had been standing in the distance, appeared before them again in an instant like a ghost.

"I think... you two should get some sleep~" Lin Xiao said lightly, his expression utterly calm and without the slightest ripple. He slowly raised both hands and accurately seized their faces.

"First Soul Skill: Dragon Eye. Second Soul Skill: Dragon Might." Two dark soul rings gradually emerged beneath Lin Xiao's feet—two soul rings that were each ten thousand years old!

The two guards had their faces tightly gripped by Lin Xiao, their eyes filled with extreme terror as they stared directly at the two dark ten-thousand-year soul rings fully revealed beneath his feet.

As Lin Xiao used his soul skills, they tried to break free of his restraint, only to discover in horror that at some unknown point, their bodies had completely ceased to obey them. They could not make a single movement!

"This isn't a Soul Emperor. This young man is... is a powerful Soul Douluo!" The guard wielding the blood-red great cleaver Martial Soul peered fearfully through the gaps between Lin Xiao's fingers, his gaze landing on Lin Xiao as he spoke in a trembling, terrified voice.

They had underestimated him. They had severely underestimated the young man before them. He was no Soul Emperor. The only kind of person who could render them unable to resist was a powerful Soul Douluo—and one at the very peak among Soul Douluos!

If they had not underestimated him from the beginning, perhaps they could have resisted somewhat. But now, completely restrained, they could not even make a sound to alert the other Soul Masters inside the Crown Prince's Mansion, much less fight back!

Having served as guards at the Crown Prince's Mansion for many years, their performance this time was a complete dereliction of duty. They had actually underestimated the young man before them so badly. If he entered the Crown Prince's Mansion, the two of them would undoubtedly become sinners of the Crown Prince's Mansion!

Under the bright moonlight, Lin Xiao appeared especially mysterious. His deep yet luminous Dragon Eyes looked disdainfully at the two guards, while their gazes passed through the gaps between his fingers and, without exception, fell upon those eyes!

In an instant, the minds of the two guards trembled violently. It was as if the one standing before them was not an ordinary human, but an ancient Magic Dragon that had survived from antiquity to the present, filled with mysterious majesty!

"Bzzzt~" The two vaguely sensed the roar of a dragon resounding beside their ears. Then, they suddenly felt everything before them turn black. As Lin Xiao released his hands, they collapsed directly onto the ground.

"Their strength is truly formidable. Together, they can both attack and defend; even a Soul Douluo would find it difficult to gain any advantage against them! Unfortunately, this time they ran into me, a Super Douluo!" Lin Xiao looked at the two lying on the ground and could not help laughing as he shook his head.

The Dragon Might soul skill he had just used was extremely powerful. It could directly intimidate Soul Masters whose Soul Power Level was lower than his. If the gap between their Soul Power Levels was especially great—

When they looked at him, they would even fall directly into unconsciousness. When Dragon Eye and Dragon Might were used together, the effect was even more remarkable.

Lin Xiao remained exceptionally calm as he placed his hands behind his back again. Without hesitation, he stepped over their bodies and swaggered straight through the gates of the Extraordinary Palace.

"This is... a hundred-thousand-year soul ring... This is a Title Douluo! His Highness is in danger!" The Black Shield Martial Soul Master, who still retained some consciousness, dazedly discovered in shock that beneath the young man's feet was a ferocious, crimson blood-colored soul ring!

The unconsciousness of the two guards did not attract the attention of the palace's defensive forces at all.
