Outside the Pontiff Palace, the night wind blew cold and sharp, whipping Bibi Dong's pontiff robe into a snapping frenzy. She stood there, gazing toward the edge of the horizon at the brilliant streak of light shooting straight toward the Heaven Dou Empire.
Qian Daoliu has already gone to avenge Xiao Xue. The Heaven Dou Empire is truly finished this time. Bibi Dong murmured to herself.
That old bastard had completely lost his mind; even with the million-strong army of the Heaven Dou Empire, they could never stop a mad Rank 99 Peerless Douluo!
I must speed up as well. If I complete the inheritance earlier and become the Rakshasa God that much sooner, I can resurrect my daughter sooner!
The Spirit Hall Empire must make its move too. Bibi Dong drew a deep breath, a flash of purple light flickering in the depths of her eyes.
Hum...
The void distorted, and a soul-quaking power suddenly ripped space apart, slowly tearing open right behind her.
It was none other than the Rakshasa Secret Realm, the place of her Rakshasa God inheritance!
Her Rakshasa God inheritance had now reached its most critical juncture; she was only half a step away from ascending to the god position!
In the past, she achieved godhood for herself, for revenge, but now she did it to resurrect her daughter!
Without a moment of hesitation, Bibi Dong turned and stepped into that purple space, the fissure instantly sealing shut as if it had never appeared.
The night was heavy, the pitch-black firmament resembling a dark curtain pressing down upon everyone's hearts. Tonight, not a single star could be seen over Heaven Dou City, the oppression so heavy it was almost suffocating.
As the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, the recent situation in Heaven Dou City could only be described as jittery. Due to the Heaven Dou Palace Coup and Qian Renxue's exposed identity, the entire imperial city had remained under a state of complete lockdown for this entire period.
It was precisely because Qian Renxue's identity had been exposed that the internal ranks of the Tiandou Imperial Family had welcomed a direct reshuffling. The position of crown prince ultimately fell upon Xue Beng, that prodigal son who had previously played the fool.
This was a measure of last resort; after all, among all the sons Xue Ye had brought into this world, he was the only one still left alive.
As for Xue Ye himself? Although Tang San and the others had forcefully hauled him back from the gates of hell and he had regained consciousness, the mixed toxins in his body had long since penetrated his bone marrow. Even with the poison cleansed, his vitality was already exhausted—it was merely a flash of borrowed light before the end.
At this moment, atop the towering city walls of Heaven Dou City, heavily armed Royal Knights patrolled back and forth carrying torches.
During this precarious and sensitive period, even a stray cat passing by would arouse their high alert.
What was more, right now at the end of the road outside the city gates, a human figure had bizarrely emerged—yes, a human figure.
"Halt! What person? Heaven Dou City is under a complete lockdown; no one is allowed to approach! Raise your hands above your head immediately and state your identity, or you will be killed without mercy..."
The patrolling knight captain atop the city wall drew the longsword from his waist, pointing it at the figure slowly approaching below as he sternly shouted, while the other knights treated the situation as if facing a formidable enemy!
Below the city wall, Qian Daoliu's expression was as gloomy as water.
His head of blonde hair, usually combed meticulously, whipped wildly in the cold wind, making him look as though he had gone mad through cultivation.
His right hand casually dragged the Angel Holy Sword, which radiated a terrifying holy majesty, the tip scraping against the ground and throwing up sparks.
Hearing the reprimand from the city wall, Qian Daoliu did not stop his advance, merely lifting his head slightly to sweep a cold, bloodshot glance at the guards standing in strict battle formation.
In his gaze, there was no emotion whatsoever, only the indifference one might show toward ants, as if he were looking at corpses.
Following that, he raised his right arm and lightly swung the Angel Holy Sword in his hand toward the city gate ahead.
Swish...
A hundred-meter-long, crescent-shaped golden sword light, resembling the dawn light tearing through the night sky, instantly erupted outward.
Boom...
A deafening sound resounded through the heavens, the city gates of Heaven Dou City proving as fragile as tofu before this golden sword-glow.
The divine sword qi raged outward, and the patrolling knights who had been shouting loudly on the wall a moment prior didn't even manage to emit a scream before their bodies were annihilated in the sword-glow, not leaving behind so much as a single drop of blood.
This heaven-shaking, earth-shattering din instantly shattered the dead silence within Heaven Dou City, alarming all garrison troops and spirit masters alike.
"Enemy attack!!! Enemy attack!!!"
The cry rang through the night sky, and countless soldiers carrying torches, spirit master squads, and the elite Royal Knights rushed over from all directions in a mighty encirclement toward the city gate.
Qian Daoliu stepped over the rubble and ruins filling the ground as he entered Heaven Dou City.
Looking at the thousands of heavily armed soldiers surging toward him like a tide, he didn't even look as he swept his sword horizontally...
Blinding golden light swept out in a fan shape.
Bang...
Wherever the sword light passed, whether they were infantry holding heavy shields or spirit masters activating their spirit rings, all of them instantly exploded into bloody mist the moment they touched the golden light!
Qian Daoliu walked expressionlessly toward the imperial palace of Heaven Dou City, dragging his sword behind him. With every single step he took, a massive swath of people who came to block him fell before him.
Regardless of whether they were ordinary soldiers or spirit masters, not a single person could walk right up to him! Coming here alone today, what he wanted was a massive slaughter! What he wanted was rivers of blood and mountains of corpses!
Since this group of people were the lackeys of the Heaven Dou Empire and the enemies Xiao Xue had faced while undercover here, they deserved to die!
"The God of Slaughter! He's the God of Slaughter!"
"It's a Titled Douluo! This is definitely a powerhouse at the Titled Douluo level! Go invite the patron elders to come help!"
Within the crowd, someone screamed in terror, their voice cracking from extreme fear. However, the moment their cry ended, a tiny piece of sword qi pierced their glabella, blowing their head apart.
The slaughter continued...
More and more soldiers swarmed up, even startling the Spirit Douluo patron elders of the Tiandou Imperial Family.
Though the Tiandou Imperial Family was weak and lacked Titled Douluo patron elders, they could still produce Spirit Douluo ones.
A densely packed sea of people blocked the streets completely, attempting to bury Qian Daoliu through sheer numbers...
Mid-air, three figures with extraordinary auras stepped through the void, arriving together. Each of them flickered with eight spirit rings.
These three were none other than the three education committee members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, all three of them being Spirit Douluo powerhouses with cultivations reaching the eighty-plus tier.
Meng Shenji, the leading committee member, looked down from on high at the slaughtering Qian Daoliu below and said angrily, "What person? How dare you act so wildly in Heaven Dou City and slaughter the soldiers of our empire! You courting death, pay with your life!"
Before his voice fell, the three Spirit Douluo simultaneously activated their spirits, preparing to jointly use their strongest spirit skills!
However, Qian Daoliu merely raised his eyes slightly. Mere Spirit Douluos dare to block this old man's path? Courting death!!!
Swish...
Qian Daoliu's arm shook, and a slender yet refined golden sword light flashed past at a speed exceeding the naked eye.
The next second, the three figures in the sky who had still possessed such imposing momentum and were accumulating spirit power suddenly froze mid-air...
Following that, amidst the shocked gazes of countless people, the bodies of the three high-and-mighty education committee members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy were neatly split in half from the waist, plummeting heavily to the ground accompanied by a sky full of fluttering snow.
In a flash, all the Spirit Douluo-tier powerhouses who had rushed over were utterly dead! Not a single one had managed to sustain even a single exchange.
Those soldiers, spirit masters, and knights who had originally intended to charge now had hands trembling as they gripped their weapons, their legs going soft as they collapsed to the ground.
