"Old Ghost!"
Yue Guan cried out in alarm.
The Human Emperor Banner moved, shattering the last of his mental defenses.
He knew very well what the consequences would be once the Human Emperor Banner was wielded.
Since begging for mercy had failed, he did not want to die like this.
Hearing this,
Gui Mei nodded as well.
The fatal question had already been posed, and he did not want to perish here either.
"Use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"
Gui Mei shouted. His voice had usually been somewhat sinister, but now he could not maintain that tone at all. It was nothing but a roar.
Yue Guan had long been prepared. He immediately shot into the sky, his Soul Power sweeping toward Gui Mei.
At the same time, Gui Mei responded to Yue Guan in the same manner.
Their Soul Power intertwined between heaven and earth.
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Bipolar Stillness Domain!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei shouted together.
Their figures froze in midair.
They were completely incapable of contending with Ye Qingtian, and they knew that even if they used every means at their disposal, they could not inflict the slightest injury upon him.
Left with no choice, they could only use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Even if they could hold on for one more moment, there might still be a turn for the better.
Crack—
It sounded like an egg shattering.
A thunderclap rang through the clear sky as Yue Guan and Gui Mei, frozen in midair, suddenly flew backward.
"Pfft—"
Blood sprayed across the sky.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei coughed up blood in great mouthfuls.
The surging black smoke stirred by the Human Emperor Banner had not even fully swept over them yet.
The aura released beforehand alone had already shattered the Martial Soul Fusion Skill they had been so proud of.
Seeing the true mass of black smoke approaching, resolute expressions appeared on their bloodless faces.
"Ninth Soul Skill, Withered Chrysanthemum, Ground Covered in Wounds, Flowers Fall and Hearts Break!"
"Ninth Soul Skill, Hell Wraiths!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei shouted at the same time, each unleashing his Ninth Soul Skill.
Petals fell one by one from Yue Guan's Martial Soul, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.
Every petal carried razor-sharp force.
Responding to Yue Guan's Ninth Soul Skill, Gui Mei's Ninth Soul Skill sent withered arms reaching out from the ground.
Each arm was like a demonic hand extending from hell, seeking to drag everything into the abyss.
The chrysanthemum petals sliced through the black smoke of the Human Emperor Banner, though it was no more than a drop in the ocean.
Countless withered hands from beneath the ground also desperately tugged at wave after wave of black smoke, pulling it underground.
No matter how desperately the two struggled, they could not truly affect the black smoke wielded by the Human Emperor Banner.
"So this is a true battle between Titled Douluo!"
"I remember those two. They're Yue Guan and Gui Mei from Spirit Hall, both veteran Titled Douluo!"
"That white-haired man seems to be His Highness the Crown Prince's backer. He's the one who fought the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Sword Douluo before!"
"Who would have thought that when he fought Sword Douluo back then, this senior did not even activate his Martial Soul? Now that he has truly activated it, his might is actually so earth-shaking!"
"..."
The clamor was filled with astonishment.
The Human Emperor aura of the Human Emperor Banner was mainly directed at Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
The countless ordinary people were not within his target range.
Even so, many people still felt unwell, though quite a few could barely continue watching.
The longer they watched, the more their fear reached unprecedented heights.
"Your Excellency, we... we truly had no intention of offending you!"
"We beg you, Your Excellency, please do not hold our offenses against us. The two of us truly..."
Yue Guan and Gui Mei transmitted their voices through Soul Power at the same time.
They did not dare reveal in public that Ye Qingtian was Spirit Hall's Supreme Consecrated.
Their lives were already hanging by a thread. If they further enraged Ye Qingtian, they would surely be reduced to ashes, and even their final chance at survival might be wasted.
"Enter the Human Emperor Banner and reflect upon yourselves!"
"If your performance is acceptable, I may consider preserving your final consciousness."
Ye Qingtian replied through Soul Power transmission.
Having made such a spectacle of things, he would not continue to show mercy.
The fully wielded Human Emperor Banner churned all the black smoke between heaven and earth.
The surging black smoke instantly engulfed Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
The corrosion within the black smoke madly devoured their bodies.
"Ugh... Aah..."
Miserable screams rang out in the air.
The black smoke drifted with astonishing speed.
Ye Qingtian only swung the Human Emperor Banner once and did not continue wielding it.
If this continued, all of Heaven Dou City would surely become a city of the dead.
As the black smoke dissipated, Yue Guan and Gui Mei's figures vanished completely from the heavens.
As though they had never existed, they silently perished into nothingness.
As for their souls, they were silently drawn into the Human Emperor Banner as the black smoke passed through.
If you do not work hard at cultivation, you can only become brothers in the Human Emperor Banner.
Inside the Heaven Dou City Martial Soul Branch Hall.
Bibi Dong's face remained ashen as she watched Yue Guan and Gui Mei, her two loyal lackeys, disappear without a trace.
They had not even lasted a single move beneath Ye Qingtian's hand. Her clenched hands itched to fight Ye Qingtian to the death right then and there.
The deaths of Yue Guan and Gui Mei made her think of the intelligence report about Yu Xiaogang being crushed to death.
"Xiaogang, you must have looked the same back then. Ye Qingtian, that damned bastard, is a cold-blooded executioner!"
"Wait for me a little longer. I will definitely avenge you!"
Bibi Dong roared madly in her heart.
At the final moment, she still forcibly calmed herself down and stopped herself from acting on impulse.
Qian Renxue watched Bibi Dong's behavior coldly and gave a chilly laugh. "Regretting it now? If you knew this would happen, why stir things up earlier?"
"You have sat in the Pope's position for too long. Do you really think Spirit Hall is now your personal domain? So long as Grandpa Tian lives, you will never have the final say in Spirit Hall!"
"Grandpa Tian is the heaven of our Spirit Hall!"
Bibi Dong's eyes turned bloodshot.
Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, she abruptly looked toward her.
She could do nothing to Ye Qingtian, but she could still deal with Qian Renxue.
Her crazed, bloodthirsty eyes glared viciously at Qian Renxue.
The aura of a Titled Douluo immediately erupted from her body, intent on teaching Qian Renxue a lesson.
The aura of a Titled Douluo came without warning.
Qian Renxue staggered several steps back, clutching her chest with a pained expression.
With strength of only Rank 69, she naturally could not withstand Bibi Dong's deliberate pressure.
Every bit of this scene fell into Ye Qingtian's eyes.
Endless coldness filled Ye Qingtian's gaze. He swept the Human Emperor Banner before him, and the sharp tip atop its pole pointed directly toward the Martial Soul Branch Hall, at Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong instantly calmed down. Just as she had wanted to regain some authority through Qian Renxue, Ye Qingtian suddenly pointed the Human Emperor Banner at her from afar.
Every thought of venting her anger was ruthlessly crushed.
Her ashen face swiftly turned pale.
Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes, a breath caught in her throat.
"Damn it! Ye Qingtian, that bastard..."
"Could he... could he actually want to make a move against me?!"
