"Kill!"
The cries of battle shook heaven and earth as a vast, dark mass of troops and Soul Masters surged like a flood toward the lone Qian Daoliu.
"A mere Titled Douluo dares to act so recklessly? Hehe, he truly doesn't know the meaning of death!" Patriarch Zhu said with a smile as he watched Qian Daoliu become surrounded.
Meanwhile, deep within the Star Luo Imperial Palace, the lavish hall was brightly lit, its atmosphere grave yet composed.
The Star Luo Emperor sat upon the dragon throne, with the elegant and noble Star Luo Empress beside him. She was an Soul Douluo powerhouse.
Ever since the alarm had resounded, someone had reported that a Titled Douluo powerhouse was suspected of having charged alone into Star Luo City.
Qian Daoliu had destroyed Shrek in Heaven Dou City, as well as the Clear Sky School and the Tang Sect, far too quickly. Information simply could not travel as fast as he slaughtered, so news that Heaven Dou City had already been reduced to ruins had yet to reach Star Luo City.
Thus, the Star Luo Emperor knew nothing of Qian Daoliu's massacre within the Heaven Dou Empire, much less that the one who had come knocking today was Qian Daoliu!
Had he known that the one coming for him was Qian Daoliu, a Peerless Douluo, he would not have remained so calm and unruffled. After all, a Titled Douluo posed no threat to him.
"Just who is this person? What grudge does he have against our Tiantou Imperial Family?" The Star Luo Emperor frowned slightly and said disdainfully, "A mere Titled Douluo actually dared to charge alone into Star Luo City? He is simply courting death!"
The Heaven Dou Empire was rotten to the core. If a Titled Douluo were to suddenly attack Heaven Dou City, they might perhaps still escape unscathed in the end.
But Star Luo City was rich in martial strength, with experts as numerous as clouds and countless stationed troops and Soul Masters. One person dared to come to Star Luo City? To challenge the majesty of the Star Luo Empire?
To the Star Luo Emperor, this was utterly absurd!
"Your Majesty is absolutely right." A faint smile rested on the Star Luo Empress's exquisite face. "I heard that the intruder is merely a blond old man wielding a sharp sword. It seems some reclusive old monster has knocked his head silly and come here to seek death."
Clearly, the Star Luo Empress did not take this sudden attack to heart either. Titled Douluo were certainly powerful, but before the mighty armies of the Star Luo Empire, individual strength was ultimately limited.
"Mm..." The Star Luo Emperor nodded slightly and shook his head helplessly. "I have thought carefully about it. Our Xingluo Imperial Family has not offended any Titled Douluo powerhouses in recent years, has it?"
"And this Titled Douluo is so mysterious that not a single person recognized him? He is clearly some reclusive old monster!"
After pondering for a moment, a dense killing intent flashed through the Star Luo Emperor's eyes. "Forget it. The reason no longer matters."
"Since he dared to charge alone into Star Luo City and slap our Xingluo Imperial Family across the face in public, we absolutely cannot let him go!"
"Pass down my decree. Tell the Imperial Guards and the major clans not to hold back. If that old thing is tough enough to retain a final breath, leave him alive. I truly want to ask him in person who gave him the nerve to come cause trouble in our Star Luo Empire!"
Were Titled Douluo strong? They were indeed strong, and he himself was a Titled Douluo who had broken through to Rank 91.
Moreover, if he joined hands with the Empress and unleashed the Wuhun Fusion Skill: Netherworld White Tiger, then even against a Rank 94 Titled Douluo or a Rank 95 Titled Douluo, they would have nothing to fear!
However, as the ruler of a nation, he considered himself of noble status. Naturally, there was no need for him to personally head to the battlefield at the very beginning.
There were naturally people below him to handle fighting and killing. Unless a true crisis arose, he would not act.
Very soon, someone conveyed the Star Luo Emperor's orders to the Patriarch Zhu and the others outside the Star Luo Imperial Palace.
The Star Luo Empress covered her mouth and smiled. "It is simply a pity. Such an arrogant person cannot be used by our Star Luo Empire."
"Otherwise, it would not have been bad to subdue him and spare his dog life so that he could serve our Xingluo Imperial Family. What a pity, what a pity."
While the Star Luo Emperor and Star Luo Empress conversed as though no one else existed, the slaughter outside the palace had already reached a complete frenzy.
Outside the Star Luo Imperial Palace, battle cries thundered as dust filled the air.
Qian Daoliu swept a cold gaze over the soldiers and Soul Masters charging toward him, then slowly raised the Angel Holy Sword in his hand.
"Seeking death..."
The instant his words fell, Qian Daoliu flicked his wrist slightly, and the Angel Holy Sword slashed through the air!
"Bzz..."
There was no earth-shaking roar. There was only a dazzling golden crescent-shaped sword aura, brilliant to the point of suffocation, sweeping outward.
Centered on Qian Daoliu, that sword aura spread wildly in every direction with terrifying power.
"Pfft..."
"Pfft..."
"Pfft..."
Blood sprayed through the air. The elite soldiers and Soul Masters rushing at the very front did not even touch the hem of Qian Daoliu's robes before the golden sword aura severed them at the waist.
In a Flash, severed limbs and arms splattered like rain.
Scalding blood dyed the ground red, yet such a gruesome scene did not immediately frighten away the soldiers and Soul Masters.
In the eyes of the leaders of the major clans, led by Patriarch Zhu, the power Qian Daoliu displayed at this moment was formidable, but it still remained within the realm of a Titled Douluo.
In their ingrained understanding, a Soul Master's power had limits, and their reserves of Soul Power had limits.
Even a Titled Douluo, when faced with such endless human-wave tactics, would eventually exhaust their Soul Power.
Furthermore, those who had charged forward first were not truly elite soldiers and Soul Masters. They were merely expendable fodder meant to drain this Titled Douluo's Soul Power.
As long as they depleted more than half of his Soul Power, the core elites and high-level Soul Masters behind them could surround and kill him in one stroke.
"What a powerful attack. This old thing truly has some skill!"
Patriarch Zhu gazed at the soldiers and Soul Masters who had died in that strike and sighed. Then he issued another command. "Do not retreat! Do not be afraid! He is only one man, while you are many! His Soul Power will eventually run dry!"
"Keep charging! Drain his Soul Power dry! Earn merit and rewards for the Xingluo Imperial Family today! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Under Patriarch Zhu's command, even more soldiers and Soul Masters shouted battle cries as they charged toward Qian Daoliu.
"Hahaha! A mere Titled Douluo actually dared to come run wild in our Star Luo City? He truly does not know the meaning of death!"
"Even if he is a Titled Douluo, today we will make him exhaust his Soul Power and die here in hatred!" some members of the great clans laughed.
Facing these self-righteous ants that came one after another, Qian Daoliu's lips curled into a cruel smile.
No matter how many ants there were, they were still merely ants. Even if even more people gathered here, they could not stop him from entering the Star Luo Imperial Palace.
"Hahaha..." Patriarch Zhu laughed. "So what if they are ants? So what if you are a Titled Douluo? What you face are the Star Luo Empire's most elite soldiers and Soul Masters!"
