"I'm sorry everyone, I'm no match for him."
Chen Xin was covered in dust, and his clothes were tattered, clearly indicating that he had been through a great battle. He had been defeated and was now bound by Soul Power chains.
"Run!"
Qian Daoliu disregarded everyone else and immediately used all his strength to run outside.
A blue light flashed, and Soul Power shield activated, trapping everyone inside.
"The shield isn't just for defense; it's also very useful for trapping people."
Xi Zhao, carrying the Thunderclap Axe, slowly walked towards the group.
"Hateful!"
Qian Daoliu gritted his teeth, drew the Angel Holy Sword, and slashed at the protective barrier.
"Snap!"
Fortunately, although the Soul Power shield was very sturdy, the Angel Holy Sword was, after all, a divine artifact, and a shield of this level was simply not enough to withstand it.
A hole was cleaved in the protective barrier, and Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong were the first to leave, followed by Ghost Leopard.
Only Yu Yuanzhen remained standing there, staring intently at Xi Zhao: "Running away is the act of a coward! I, this old man, will fight you to the death!"
"Oh?"
Xi Zhao was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected there to be such a principled person in the Douluo Continent.
"I'll see whether your lightning is more powerful, or mine is superior!"
"Interesting."
Xi Zhao picked up the Thunderclap Axe: "I admire you as a true man."
"Thunderclap Slash!"
Without any unnecessary movements, Xi Zhao swung his axe, and the fierce lightning instantly transformed into an axe blade, striking Yu Yuanzhen.
"Such overwhelming power!"
Yu Yuanzhen, and with a roar, his hands transformed into dragon claws to confront the axe blade.
"Ah!"
With lightning crackling around him, Yu Yuanzhen unleashed an unprecedented power, using almost elevenths of his strength, barely managing to block the attack.
"Phew~"
Yu Yuanzhen on one knee, panting heavily. Just one strike had exhausted him; his opponent was far stronger than him!
"However, I'm not one to lose my fighting spirit so easily!"
Yu Yuanzhen stood up once more, roaring to the sky, "Ah!!!! Martial Soul Avatar! Transform into a Dragon!"
The next moment, all nine Soul Ring merged into Yu Yuanzhen's body, then transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky. The next moment, the figure of a giant dragon appeared and disappeared in the clouds.
"This is my strongest attack, get ready!"
Yu Yuanzhen into a dragon, lightning flashing from his mouth, and an extremely powerful energy slowly condensed.
"Is he really going to fight this hard?"
Xi Zhao remained calm, looking up at the dragon shadow in the sky, and also summoned his Martial Soul.
"Snow Mastiff!"
A pure white mastiff appeared behind him and then blended into his armor.
"Thunderclap Steed!"
The next moment, a motorcycle flashing with white lightning flew over, Xi Zhao lightly jumped and landed on the seat.
"I've won this round!"
"Thunderclap Break!"
The blue lightning transformed into a thick laser beam, unleashing Yu Yuanzhen's indomitable momentum.
"Thunderclap Slash!"
Without any fancy special effects, Xi Zhao simply swung his giant axe, which was filled with lightning, and easily shattered his attack.
"Was it really broken just like that?"
After unleashing his final attack, Yu Yuanzhen's Soul Power was almost completely exhausted, and he could no longer maintain his dragon form.
Xi Zhao easily captured him and brought him to Chen Xin's side. "Lock him up."
"Yes!"
Zhou Tan nodded and, together with the soldiers, escorted Yu Yuanzhen away.
Once everyone had left, Chen Xin finally broke free of her chains and sighed, "Yu Yuanzhen, why did you do this to yourself?"
That's right, he wasn't arrested at all, which is what everyone could have guessed. The injuries on his body were just superficial, all for show.
This was a last resort; Qian Daoliu had spoken, and he couldn't disobey, since he truly couldn't win.
"He's not bad."
Xi Zhao, unusually, acknowledged the characters in the Douluo Continent: "I won't kill him."
"Thank you very much."
Chen Xin nodded, relieved. It seemed that the Northern Underworld Empire was not the kind of Evil country that would exterminate everyone. If they really entered Douluo Continent, they probably wouldn't make things too difficult for everyone.
Xi Zhao seemed to sense his thoughts. "We will only eliminate those who stubbornly resist and are out of touch with reality. We will treat civilians and those who are pragmatic with respect as better."
"After all, the common people of our country are much happier than the common people of your continent."
Nobles are neither bullied nor treated as slaves, at least not most of them, because they all believe that the Progenitor is watching.
"You must also remember this, and the Soul Beast as well. You must not discriminate against them, or you will anger the Progenitor."
Xi Zhao spoke calmly.
"Understood, that's how it should be; it's good to have a Gods to guide us."
Chen Xin clicked her tongue enviously. With eyes above their heads, even the worst people wouldn't dare to cause trouble. Although society might feel a bit oppressive in this respect, it would definitely be very peaceful.
Moreover, most people in the Northern Underworld Empire worship Kunpeng, so even if there are bad people, they will be punished in time.
Their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is considered a relatively good sect for ordinary people.
After all, they were in business and dealt with commoners and nobles more often than Soul Master, so they had no objection to this arrangement.
"Let's go, that's all for tonight. We'll see what they do next."
Xi Zhao paused slightly as he turned around, then looked at Chen Xin: "Want some late-night snacks?"
"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer."
Chen Xin smiled and nodded. He had been acting all night and had even used his Martial Soul Avatar, which had really exhausted him. He should treat himself to something.
"Good."
Xi Zhao nodded, gave instructions to his subordinates, and then led Chen Xin into the camp.
On the other side, the three who had escaped back, Qian Daoliu, did not look too good.
Especially Qian Daoliu, a dignified Limit Douluo, was actually chased and forced to flee in disarray by the opponent. If word got out, it would be a laughing stock for the world.
"I must avenge this!"
Qian Daoliu made up his mind in his heart.
Soon, the three returned to Douluo's camp, where Ning Fengzhi and the others were already waiting.
"Everyone, how's the situation?"
Ning Fengzhi immediately stepped forward. Even though he knew the final result wouldn't be good, he was still startled when he saw that only three people had returned.
"Yu Yuanzhen and Demon Bear Douluo both perished there?"
Ning Fengzhi was quite surprised. If Chen Xin had made arrangements, then these two were genuine titles, yet they were also spared?
When they heard Ning Fengzhi's question, everyone's expressions were not good. After all, it was a great loss of face for the Spirit Hall members to have Sword Douluo captured by the other party.
"Not good."
Bibi Dong shook her head and recounted what had happened. "Sword Douluo was captured, Demon Bear Douluo died, and as for Thunder Douluo, we don't know anything about him."
