"How dare you!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo squeezed out two words through gritted teeth.
"Killed the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, right in front of us!"
"Kid, do you know what you've done?"
Ye Hua shrugged. "It's tit for tat. He sent people to kill me, so I just retaliated."
"Fine," Chrysanthemum Douluo sneered, Gold Trial Soul Power gathering, "Then let me see if your mouth is as hard as your life!"
But before his hand could fall, two figures blocked Ye Hua's path.
"Meng Shu, Chao Tianxiang, take your granddaughter with you!"
"The Spirit Hall has no intention of being enemies with you two!"
The Dragon-Snake Combination was quite famous, and his appearance with Gui Mei naturally exposed that the attack was planned by the Spirit Hall.
If they resort to underhanded tactics to kill the Dragon-Snake Combination, that would be utterly shameless!
Unexpectedly, the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny stood side by side, their Martial Soul Fusion Skill still intact.
"Your Excellencies," the Dragon Duke said in a deep voice, "Since I've gotten involved in this matter today, I'll see it through to the end!"
"Ye Hua is my granddaughter's husband," the Snake Granny added. "If you want to harm him, you'll have to ask us first!"
Immediately afterwards, two more figures darted out.
Flender, Liu Erlong!
Flender's tone betrayed his sarcasm. "The Spirit Hall has always acted with integrity and uprightness."
But looking back today, I was terribly wrong.
Chrysanthemum Douluo sneered, "Flender, do you know who this kid is?"
Flender was bewildered.
Chrysanthemum Douluo, however, kept everyone in suspense, saying, "It's alright if you don't know; you'll find out in the finals!"
Having said that, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Martial Soul was released, its overwhelming power reaching the heavens.
Just as the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny were on high alert, believing a great battle was inevitable—
"Um..."
Chrysanthemum Douluo groaned.
"Chrysanthemum Pass? What happened?"
Ghost Douluo noticed Chrysanthemum Douluo's unusual behavior and was about to help him up when he felt a heavy weight pressing down on him!
"Hiss--"
Both of them were shaken to their core.
The aura arrived silently, yet it was as powerful as a mountain collapsing!
Before even seeing him in person, I was overwhelmed by his imposing presence!
This person's strength far surpasses theirs!
Only His Holiness the Pope possesses such authority!
Chrysanthemum Douluo froze.
Tie Xiong stood on the cliff, like a pine tree, his strong clothes fluttering in the mountain wind.
It's him!
It was his aura that was emanating from him!
Chrysanthemum Douluo turned his head with difficulty and met Ghost Douluo's gaze.
It seems His Holiness the Pope was right...
Ye Hua's Soul Ring are outrageous, and his strength is outrageous!
They can even pull out Soul Guidance Weapon!
It must be related to the recent uproar surrounding the Long Night Alliance!
This old man might be Ye Hua's protector!
Fortunately, the murderous sword energy came to their rescue.
Chen Xin appeared in a flash, the Seven Kill Sword humming.
Dugu Bo followed closely behind, his dark green toxins surging forth.
"Good, very good," Chrysanthemum Douluo readily agreed, "I hope you'll have the same good luck as today in the future!"
"Let's go!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo snorted coldly and winked at Ghost Douluo.
Ghost Douluo understood, and with a swirling of black Soul Power, he enveloped Salas's headless corpse.
The remaining Spirit Hall attackers breathed a sigh of relief and scrambled over.
"Walk!"
The two Titled Douluo, leading their remaining troops, fled out of the valley without looking back, disappearing from sight in an instant.
The valley was silent for a moment, then erupted in deafening cheers.
"We won! We won!"
"Shameless Spirit Hall, how dare they launch a sneak attack! I'll beat them to a pulp!"
"Oh, you're doing well now? Without Teacher Ye sharing the firepower, you'd be dead by now!"
Students from all the colleges felt a sense of relief, as if they had survived a disaster.
The knight commander staggered over, removed his helmet, and revealed a blood-stained face.
He bowed deeply to Ye Hua.
"Earl Night, I underestimated my opponent today, and I will accept my punishment!"
"If it weren't for your Three-Eyed Icefire Guns, I would have almost made a terrible mistake!"
"No need for that," Ye Hua waved his hand, "Let's clean up the mess quickly."
The knight commander nodded emphatically and turned to direct his knights to clean up the battlefield.
But when he saw the attacker's body, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
The corpses were laid out densely, and a rough sweep revealed at least seven or eight hundred bodies!
And more than half of them died without a complete corpse!
The knight commander felt a chill run down his spine, thankful that Ye Hua was from the Heaven Dou Kingdom.
If Ye Hua were a citizen of the Star Luo Empire, then on the battlefield in the future, it would be them facing these weapons!
"Nearly half of the enemy were killed?"
After taking the count, the Knight Commander's voice grew increasingly menacing.
This doesn't even account for enemy casualties; otherwise, the majority of casualties would have been!
"My great emperor," the knight commander murmured to himself, "You made the right decision to bestow the title of Earl upon Ye Hua!"
At first, they were all dissatisfied when Ye Hua received the Earl.
All the blood and sweat on the front lines, all the military achievements accumulated over a decade, couldn't compare to helping the Crown Prince solve a case?
But now, he's completely convinced!
[bite--]
[Mission "Firepower Is Justice" Completed!]
[Rewards being distributed...]
[The Sixth Soul Ring, aged 200,000 years, has been stored in the Azure Jade Bracelet and can be absorbed at any time.]
[Host's Soul Power has reached level 58; just one step away from breaking through to Soul Emperor.]
[The Sixth Soul Ring is now in hand. Please increase your Soul Power as soon as possible.]
Ye Hua glanced at the sphere-shaped Sixth Soul Ring and silently calculated.
If Xiao Wu and the others work a little harder, he has a good chance of breaking through to Quasi-Soul Emperor in a month!
However, some are happy while others are sad.
While he was content, some people were devastated.
On the rock face, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang looked dejected.
Tang San watched helplessly as Ye Hua, Titled Douluo, killed the man who had killed him!
And then they watched helplessly as the two Titled Douluo slunk away!
His chest felt like it was stuffed with a ball of cotton soaked in vinegar—both sour and congested!
"Teacher, what should we do...?"
"My Soul Ring, my Spirit Bone..."
"How so..."
Yu Xiaogang also remained silent.
He thought victory was assured!
But what was the result?
Salas's head must have been smashed!
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo retreated in a sorry state!
"Let's go back first," Yu Xiaogang said, forcing himself to remain calm.
He understood that Tang San had been pulled away by him.
In short, it means leaving the group to go to the toilet!
To put it bluntly, it's desertion in the face of battle!
If he were truly considered the latter, Flender would skin Tang San alive!
The best course of action now is to quietly go back and pretend nothing happened.
Yu Xiaogang quickly told Tang San to take advantage of the chaos on the battlefield and slip back to the rear of the caravan!
But when Tang San saw Ye Hua smash the bishop's head in front of Titled Douluo, his legs went weak and he fell backward.
Unfortunately, the swallow skin wasn't fully healed!
Snap!
The buttocks made intimate contact with the ground.
The excruciating pain almost made Tang San scream!
Left with no other choice, Yu Xiaogang had to carry him on his back and slink away towards the carriage.
Before they could even lift the carriage curtain, they were patted on the shoulder.
The two of them were instantly stunned.
Turning their heads, Flender and Liu Erlong's faces turned grim.
Flender shook his head in disappointment. "Xiao Gang, you were nearby just now, weren't you?"
Yu Xiaogang's face stiffened. "I... I..."
"You'd rather stand by and watch than fight alongside us?"
"With the Golden Iron Triangle joining forces, how many knights can avoid death?"
Yu Xiaogang's lips moved, but he didn't speak.
Flender was even more disappointed.
If you stand with us in a time of crisis, I might forgive you.
But now...
Tsk!
Liu Erlong didn't say anything, he just shook his head.
Seeing him with Tang San made him even more uncomfortable.
But now, she no longer wanted to talk to him.
"What are you standing there for?" Flender frowned. "You're not welcome here!"
Let's go!
Yu Xiaogang left silently.
As night fell, Spirit Hall...
A woman with a noble face and a voluptuous figure was sitting on the throne.
She clenched her fist, propped her head up, and exuded an air of languid authority.
Her light purple curly hair fell naturally, further highlighting her stunning beauty.
But then, the woman saw the two trembling figures below, their faces terrifyingly grim...
