Three Title Douluo Battle, Tuoba Xuan Hijacks Hu Liena

"So it is you who defeated Tian Bingyun in Tianshui City?"

Ghost Douluo's voice was devoid of any emotion.

Tuoba Xuan nodded. "It is me!"

Behind him, Tuoba Xi and Dugu Bo stepped forward in unison.

The implication was self-evident.

"Since that is the case, Her Majesty the Pope wishes to see you. Come with us."

The soul power beneath Ghost Douluo began to surge violently, and an invisible pressure gradually spread outward.

"You dare!"

Dugu Bo let out a cold snort, directly blocking Ghost Douluo's pressure.

"Wait a moment!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo's body paused, for the pressure Dugu Bo was currently emitting was no weaker than that of Ghost Douluo.

One had to understand that in Chrysanthemum Douluo's estimation, Dugu Bo was merely a level 91 Title Douluo.

How could he possibly compare to a Title Douluo like Ghost Douluo, who was nearing the level of a Super Douluo?

"Old Poison, you have broken through."

Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression grew grave.

If Dugu Bo were still the weakest Title Douluo he had once known, they could certainly act with impunity today.

They might even have been able to round up all three of them without issue.

But now, the pressure Dugu Bo released was already approaching that of Ghost Douluo.

At this, Chrysanthemum Douluo had to weigh Dugu Bo's current strength carefully.

"Oh!"

Ghost Douluo suddenly spoke with a mocking tone.

He had caught sight of the Golden Earth Dragon King's corpse, which Tuoba Xi was shielding behind him.

"I truly did not expect that you old dragon had also broken through. I presume you originally intended to absorb this Golden Earth Dragon King as your ninth soul ring."

Instantly, everyone's gaze shifted toward the dead Golden Earth Dragon King.

One had to know that after a soul beast died, its soul ring could only persist for half an hour; after that, it would gradually dissipate.

If they dragged this out any longer, Tuoba Xi's ninth soul ring would be ruined.

Tuoba Xi's tone was low. "It was merely luck; I cannot compare to you two Your Excellencies."

"So, gentlemen, what exactly is it that you want?"

Tuoba Xi felt a sense of urgency; his advancement to Title Douluo was right before him, yet he was being interrupted.

"What do we want?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo let out a cackling laugh.

"Then I shall be blunt: with us here, you will not be absorbing this Golden Earth Dragon King today."

Upon hearing these words, the expressions of Tuoba Xuan, Tuoba Xi, and Dugu Bo all darkened.

Chrysanthemum Douluo shifted his tone.

"However, if you swear an oath by your martial soul right now to lead the Sacred Dragon Sect into joining Spirit Hall..."

"Then we can not only guarantee that you will obtain a perfect soul ring today, but you will also receive a commendation from Her Majesty the Pope."

Hearing this, Tuoba Xi hesitated.

At present, the continent appeared calm, but undercurrents were surging beneath the surface.

The Sacred Dragon Sect was still too weak; relying solely on himself, a newly broken-through Title Douluo, he could not protect the sect.

Moreover, a cardinal from Spirit Hall had previously attempted to recruit him, and in his heart, he had already entertained the idea of joining Spirit Hall.

"You cannot, Grandfather!"

Tuoba Xuan's telepathic message interrupted Tuoba Xi's thoughts.

Tuoba Xuan was well aware of the rot within Spirit Hall.

If he were to join Spirit Hall alone, that would be one thing, but to have the entire Sacred Dragon Sect join would be to push the sect into an abyss, leaving them with no place to be buried.

There was Bibi Dong, who sought to destroy the continent, followed by the dim-witted Qian Renxue and the love-struck Hu Liena.

Spirit Hall was currently a leaking gas canister; one careless move and it would be ignited.

Following this, Tuoba Xuan sent another message.

Today, Tuoba Xuan was determined to secure this Golden Earth Dragon King.

At worst, they would simply kill the five people standing before them.

Then, dragging Dugu Yan along, the four of them would hide in Dragon Valley, waiting over a dozen years until Tuoba Xuan attained godhood.

This was the worst-case scenario.

By the time they emerged, Tang San might have already become a dual god.

The grass on the graves of the Sacred Dragon Sect and Dugu Mansion members might even be half a meter high by then.

No, that's not right; who would even bother to build them graves?

Tuoba Xuan shook his head, yet he still intended to stake everything on one throw.

"Your Excellencies, the Sacred Dragon Sect will always be just the Sacred Dragon Sect; it will not join any faction."

Tuoba Xuan's tone turned icy, and killing intent surfaced at the corners of his eyes.

"Therefore, I must decline your proposal. Furthermore, if you two intend to stir up trouble today, then come."

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo acted as if they had heard the greatest joke in the world.

Did he really mean that one Title Douluo and one peak Spirit Douluo could handle two veteran Title Douluo?

"Kid, you talk too much. Since that's the case, then all of you can just die here."

"Rest assured, I will spare your life; after all, Her Holiness the Pope still wishes to see you."

Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice was somewhat hoarse as a full nine spirit rings began to pulse beneath him.

"Move!"

This command erupted from Tuoba Xuan's mouth without warning.

Tuoba Xi and Dugu Bo's bodies surged into action instantly.

Dugu Bo unleashed his ultimate weapon, the Blood-Colored Swan Kiss, without hesitation.

A potent poison diffused, immediately obstructing Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo just as they were about to strike.

Tuoba Xi's movements were equally swift, lunging forward to grapple with Chen Ming.

"Oh no, Nana!"

Seeing Tuoba Xuan and the others suddenly launch an assault, Yan was shocked.

Just as Yan moved to protect Hu Liena, he felt a sharp, piercing pain in his chest.

Tuoba Xuan's speed was blinding; taking advantage of the spreading toxic mist, he charged directly to the side of Yan and Hu Liena.

The Dragon Tiger Hook erupted with intense purple light, sweeping out in a violent arc that slammed into Yan's chest.

Before Yan could even release his spirit power to resist, he felt excruciating pain as a mass of purple-black wounds appeared on his chest.

This was the spirit skill of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger external spirit bone, the Dragon Tiger Hook—Dark Demon Evil God Rend.

Because Yan had been standing in front of Hu Liena, she did not suffer significant injury, feeling only a momentary trance in her mind.

At the same time, a dark purple seed was planted deep within Hu Liena's bloodstream, completely unnoticed.

"Ugh!"

Hu Liena let out a soft cry as her lower back was pinned firmly, and her slender, fair throat was tightly constricted by a hideous tail.

It felt as if the tail only needed to exert the slightest bit of force to claim her life.

In the blink of an eye, Hu Liena had been seized by her vital point from behind by Tuoba Xuan.

"If you dare to move again, I will kill her!"

Cold sweat instantly soaked the backs of Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Chen Ming.

The three of them had noticed Tuoba Xuan's movements, but they had been blocked by Dugu Bo and Tuoba Xi.

They were unable to intervene or rescue her, having originally pinned their hopes on Yan.

Yet, this useless Yan had been swept aside and injured by Tuoba Xuan's tail in a single blow.

"Kid, release Nana!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes widened in fury.

"Do you want to die, boy?"

For the first time, a look of panic appeared on Ghost Douluo's perpetually bloodless face.

Yan clutched his chest, struggling to stand up.

His heart was filled with raging fury.

"Bastard, to think you'd launch a sneak attack!"

Although the three of them spoke harsh words, they dared not make a single move.

Because they did not doubt for a second that Tuoba Xuan would truly kill Hu Liena.

Hu Liena's throat bobbed slightly, feeling only a chilling cold against her neck.

Following that came an overwhelming sense of lingering fear and internal struggle.

In that moment, her performance had been even worse than Yan's.

Although Yan had been sent flying, he had at least managed to react; he simply hadn't been fast enough to defend himself.

As for her, she only realized she had been cornered once a blade was already pressed against her throat.

A faint, hair-thin line of blood appeared on Hu Liena's neck.

Hu Liena's face turned deathly pale, her entire body went limp, and for a fleeting moment, she collapsed into Tuoba Xuan's arms.

She was merely shoved away by an elbow strike from Tuoba Xuan.

"If you don't want her to die, then let us absorb that Golden Earth Dragon King first."

Tuoba Xuan shouted, beginning to negotiate terms with the two, Ju and Gui.
