The Spirit Pagoda Courted Death! Qiangu Dongfeng Tried to Stop Me from Killing the Ghost Emperor

"Boom!"

As the Ghost Emperor cursed, the Level 8 Soul Guidance Cannon exploded behind him.

A Soul Guidance Cannon of this caliber couldn't hurt him.

But the thick smoke and powerful force from the explosion could hinder his advance.

That gave Luo Feng the opening he needed to attack!

"Damn brat! I should've silenced you the moment I had the chance!"

He'd been made to look this pathetic by a junior.

And in front of everyone from the Spirit Pagoda, no less.

To the Ghost Emperor, it was a massive stain on his glorious past.

A man could be killed, but never humiliated!

He wouldn't let that brat who piloted the mech get away with this.

But as the Ghost Emperor tore apart the dam,

he had no idea the real killing blow was still to come!

"BT! Level 10 Anti-Matter Armor-Piercing Incendiary Shells! Three-round burst! Blow his legs off!"

[Command confirmed! Level 11 special ammunition loaded into the primary launcher!]

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three Level 10 shells, glowing with deadly light, formed a triangle and completely sealed off every escape route the Ghost Emperor had!

These were Level 10 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannons! Each shell had enough yield to wipe a medium-sized city off the map in an instant!

"No!!!"

At last, utter despair appeared on the Ghost Emperor's withered face.

The bone shield he'd summoned with all his might didn't even manage to resist for a microsecond before the three Level 10 Soul Guidance Cannons!

"Bang!!!"

A chain of earth-shaking explosions erupted in midair!

The three Level 10 shells hit the Ghost Emperor's lower body without a hint of doubt.

Under the twin devastation of Level 10 antimatter and incendiary shells,

his withered legs were instantly blasted into bone dust and a cloud of blood that scattered through the air. The explosions drowned out even his screams!

Without his legs and center of gravity, the Ghost Emperor plunged like a falling green meteor, dragging the shattered upper half of his body behind him.

He tumbled headfirst from several thousand meters up toward the wilderness below.

"Rumble!"

With a quake-like crash, the Ghost Emperor's battered body slammed into the mountainside.

It punched a terrifying crater dozens of meters across into the solid rock.

Dust and rubble surged into the sky.

"Pssht!"

Before the Ghost Emperor could catch his breath through the excruciating pain,

a huge, suffocating shadow of metal fell over him from above.

The Vanguard Titan's massive mechanical foot came crashing down with the force of a landslide, landing at the edge of the crater.

The entire mountain shook violently beneath the terrifying weight of the god-tier mech!

"Go on, run, old ghost. Why'd you stop?"

Luo Feng lounged in the cockpit and sent his mocking voice across the mountain forest through the external speakers.

"Weren't you just running for your life? Where's the backbone of a Limit Douluo?"

At the bottom of the crater, the Ghost Emperor struggled to prop up his broken body with his only remaining right hand.

His corpse-like face was written over with boundless fear and hatred.

He was a big shot of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Yet a human brat piloting an Iron Shell had backed him into a predicament where he couldn't live or die!

"I'm the big brother who's sending you straight to hell!"

Luo Feng sneered and slowly pressed his thumb toward the weapon-fire button on the control panel.

[Command confirmed! High-Explosive Plasma Secondary Cannon locked onto target's head!]

"Try to stay out of my way in your next life."

Just as Luo Feng was about to blast the Ghost Emperor into the afterlife once and for all,

everything changed!

"You insolent brat! Stop right there!"

A roar like thunder from time immemorial rolled in from the direction of Ming Capital.

Then an immense pressure, in no way weaker than that of a Level 99 Limit Quasi-God,

crashed down upon the Vanguard Titan like a tidal wave!

"Roar!"

With a dragon's cry that seemed to shatter the heavens, a fearsome staff entwined with a dark golden dragon

seemed to cross the limits of space, bearing the force to smash the void as it plunged down and blocked the Ghost Emperor's path!

"Boom!!"

The Vanguard Titan's fully charged plasma secondary cannon fired.

A dazzling blue beam slammed into the dark golden Coiling Dragon Giant Staff.

An energy sphere brighter than the sun burst into existence!

The shock wave shaved the entire mountaintop clean off!

Even the astonishingly massive Vanguard Titan was forced half a step backward by the rebound.

It plowed two deep furrows into the ground.

The Coiling Dragon Giant Staff flew back through the air and landed in the hand of an old man who had suddenly appeared in the void.

His hair and beard were white, and he wore a dark golden robe of extreme opulence.

He hovered in the air, with nine Soul Rings of such deep, vivid colors circling beneath his feet.

The last three, in particular, were red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, radiating a suffocating pressure.

Qiangu Dongfeng, master of the Spirit Pagoda and one of the most powerful Limit Douluos on the Douluo Continent!

"You're finally here! Save me!"

The Ghost Emperor, who had thought himself doomed, saw the newcomer in the crater.

Like a drowning man clutching a lifeline, he cried out in desperation.

His cry made Qiangu Dongfeng's face twitch.

He'd meant to secretly save his Holy Spirit Cult ally while preserving the Spirit Pagoda's "order."

But the Ghost Emperor's desperate plea to "save me"

had laid bare the Spirit Pagoda's collusion with the Holy Spirit Cult for all to see!

"Silence!

You heinous Evil Soul Master! As master of the Spirit Pagoda, I shall capture you today and bring you back to the Pagoda for a thorough interrogation!"

To keep up appearances, Qiangu Dongfeng immediately rebuked him with righteous indignation.

Then he turned around, his cloudy yet hawk-sharp eyes

fixing on the enormous Vanguard Titan below.

"What ruffian dares cause trouble right under my nose? Get out of—"

But before Qiangu Dongfeng could finish, his voice cut off.

His pupils shrank to pinpricks.

His gaze locked onto the Vanguard Titan's imposing dark golden armor and the distinctive insignia painted on its shoulder.

An uncontrollable fury and boundless hatred erupted from the Limit Douluo.

"This mech... this aura..."

Qiangu Dongfeng trembled violently.

He raised the Coiling Dragon Staff and pointed it at the Vanguard Titan's cockpit.

"It's you!!! You piece of trash!"

"Outside Skysea City, your metal monster used that damned cannon fire to blow my grandson Zhang Ting to pieces!"

Qiangu Dongfeng's roar brimmed with heart-rending grief and madness.

His beloved grandson, Qiangu Zhangting, heir apparent to the Spirit Pagoda,

had been reduced to scraps by this mysterious heavy mech.

Qiangu Dongfeng had frantically hunted for the culprit ever since, but found nothing.

He'd searched high and low without a trace,

only to recognize here today the dark golden devil mech he'd know even reduced to ashes!

Inside the cockpit, Luo Feng watched the enraged Qiangu Dongfeng on the holographic screen.

A wildly arrogant smile curled his lips.

He switched on the external speakers without the slightest attempt to hide it, his voice dripping with scorn.

"Sorry, old geezer.

I kill so many nobodies, I really can't remember which scrap of your grandson I crushed underfoot."

"You're asking for death!!"

Luo Feng's vicious taunt made Qiangu Dongfeng spit up a mouthful of blood on the spot.

"I'll tear you limb from limb today, you insolent wretch! I'll rip out your soul and offer it to my grandson's spirit in the afterlife!"
