Li Tianyuan flexed his legs and decided to strike.

A level 96 Titled Douluo was powerful, but that offered no guarantee. An open spear was easy to dodge; an arrow from the shadows was hard to guard against.

He wanted to see how this old bastard would react after being struck by his Wind God Leg.

Using his leg technique, supported by his Temporal Concealment Soul Skill, Li Tianyuan swiftly arrived in front of Qian Jun Douluo.

He used the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Steps to evade the sweeping assault of the Coiling Dragon Staff, then unleashed a furious flurry of kicks.

Bang, bang!

Both kicks landed on Qian Jun Douluo almost simultaneously.

Despite his formidable physique, Qian Jun Douluo was sent flying backward and slammed into the ground, throwing up a cloud of dust.

But a moment later, Qian Jun Douluo rose to his feet. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared coldly around him and poured Soul Power into the Coiling Dragon Staff. Golden light radiated from it, and dragon patterns surfaced with an astonishing aura.

Qian Jun Douluo had finally flown into a rage.

Being kicked around so badly was an utter humiliation.

In Spirit City, he believed no one except his eldest brother, Qian Daoliu, could leave him in such a sorry state.

"Little thief, who exactly are you? Come out! Otherwise, even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth, I'll catch you!"

Qian Jun Douluo roared repeatedly.

Li Tianyuan had already put distance between them. His opponent wielded a tool Martial Soul, so unless he used the God-Slaying Spear, he would certainly suffer in close combat.

Those two kicks had eased his frustration considerably. He would let the man roar for a while.

After a moment, seeing that he could not force Li Tianyuan out, Qian Jun Douluo stopped roaring. Still, word of him being kicked flying in full public view today was bound to spread.

"Forget it. I'll find Li Tianyuan first, so this doesn't delay the matter!"

Qian Jun Douluo turned and strode away.

After watching him leave, Li Tianyuan turned to look at the house Chrysanthemum Douluo had destroyed, feeling a pang of distress.

Old chrysanthemum, you destroyed my house. I'll remember this. One day, I'll make you pay!

Li Tianyuan seethed inwardly.

Still, although the house had been destroyed, he decided to return to the same spot and assess the situation first.

The search was still underway throughout Spirit City. No one should come here to bother him.

Several hours later, Chrysanthemum Douluo hurried back to Spirit Hall. He had searched almost all of Spirit City without finding any trace of Li Tianyuan.

He had no choice but to report to Bibi Dong.

Entering the Pope's Hall, Chrysanthemum Douluo looked up at Bibi Dong, who sat on her throne with a troubled expression, then bowed. "Greetings, Your Holiness."

Bibi Dong looked at him with icy eyes. "You still haven't found him?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo answered helplessly, "Your Holiness, I led men through almost all of Spirit City, but we failed to find him!"

"Perhaps Li Tianyuan has escaped Spirit City?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo thought Li Tianyuan had either left or been killed.

"Could he really have left?"

Hearing this, Bibi Dong could not help thinking that Li Tianyuan might have found some way to leave.

Of course, he might also have been killed already!

"Did you encounter anyone during your search?"

Bibi Dong was somewhat worried that Qian Daoliu had secretly sent someone to kill Li Tianyuan and destroy all traces of his body.

Chrysanthemum Douluo recalled what had happened at Li Tianyuan's residence and hurriedly reported it to Bibi Dong.

"Something like that happened?"

"Yue Guan, even you couldn't tell who it was?"

Bibi Dong found it unbelievable. When had such a mysterious figure appeared in Spirit City?

And he had appeared at Li Tianyuan's residence, of all places.

"I couldn't get a clear look. Even Qian Jun Douluo couldn't."

"On my way back, I also received word that Qian Jun Douluo had been injured by him. His nose was bleeding, and he had taken two kicks."

As he mentioned this, the corners of Chrysanthemum Douluo's mouth lifted. He seemed to be taking pleasure in the other man's misfortune.

Someone from the Worship Hall getting hurt was quite a delightful turn of events.

"Qian Jun Douluo is a level 96 Douluo, yet even he was injured."

Suspicion deepened in Bibi Dong's eyes.

Could this hidden figure have some connection to Li Tianyuan?

Perhaps he was the one secretly helping Li Tianyuan.

"Your Holiness, Qian Jun Douluo believes he may be a Douluo skilled in using a space Martial Soul. He probably ambushed Qian Jun Douluo!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo added this explanation.

Truthfully, if that man had struck him hard, he might have been injured too.

"Then he took Li Tianyuan out of Spirit City through space!"

Bibi Dong seemed to realize something. A hint of joy appeared in her eyes, though there was also a trace of resentment.

Her affair with Li Tianyuan had already been exposed.

Qian Daoliu had clearly sent Qian Jun Douluo to kill someone.

If Li Tianyuan stayed in Spirit City, he would hardly escape death. Leaving might have been the best choice.

"That is possible."

Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded.

"Forget it, Yue Guan. Since he has left, let him go."

"But you must monitor Qian Jun Douluo's every move and guard against him finding Li Tianyuan. If you discover that he intends to kill Li Tianyuan, protect him at all costs."

"If that truly proves impossible, then kill Li Tianyuan first on my behalf!"

Bibi Dong looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo, her voice chillingly cold.

Chrysanthemum Douluo shuddered and gently clasped his hands. "Yes, Your Holiness."

Bibi Dong waved a hand.

Chrysanthemum Douluo turned and walked out.

Once outside, he assessed the situation and decided to keep searching for Li Tianyuan. If he could find him, he would urge him to leave Spirit City immediately.

Otherwise, he would hardly escape death.

"This truly is a difficult task!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo sighed and hurried away.

Inside the Worship Hall's main hall, Qian Daoliu still stood with his hands clasped behind his back.

His expression was inscrutable and calm.

To preserve Spirit Hall's reputation, he had no choice but to send someone to eliminate a small fry. He hoped the matter could be settled quickly.

At the same time, he was also saving Bibi Dong.

He had tolerated that woman for a long time.

This time, he absolutely could not let her continue running wild.

A little later, Qian Jun Douluo strode inside. His expression was grim, and he looked somewhat bedraggled.

"Eldest brother!"

Qian Jun Douluo greeted Qian Daoliu with a bow.

Qian Daoliu turned. A trace of surprise appeared on his face, usually as still as an ancient well. "Qian Jun, what happened?"

Qian Jun Douluo recounted how someone had slapped him and kicked him twice.

Although it was disgraceful, he would not conceal it from Qian Daoliu.

"You mean a Douluo with a Space Martial Soul is lurking in Spirit City?"

Qian Daoliu's gaze sharpened.

"Eldest brother, this man must have some ulterior motive. But he doesn't dare show himself, so he probably doesn't dare confront us openly!"

Qian Jun Douluo offered his analysis.

"His actions do resemble those of a sneaking thief. It seems this matter isn't so simple."

Qian Daoliu remained somewhat wary of such a mysterious Douluo.

Having infiltrated Spirit City, the man might be plotting something against Spirit Hall.

But with him here, unless a Deity arrived, no one could hope to gain an advantage.

"Eldest brother, why don't we gather a few more people and force him out?"

Qian Jun Douluo clenched his fists.

After taking those two surprise kicks, he could hardly quell the hatred in his heart.

"Here's what we'll do. You and your brother will act together. Find that man, then find Li Tianyuan and kill him!"

"This man likely has some connection to Li Tianyuan."

Qian Daoliu's eyes were fathomless as he spoke.

He would never allow anyone to act against Spirit Hall.

"Understood."

Qian Jun Douluo clasped his hands, looking excited.

With his younger brother fighting alongside him, he would surely avenge those kicks.

A short while later, he arrived at his younger brother Demon Subduing Douluo's room.

"Brother, why do you look so bedraggled? What happened? Did someone beat you up?"

Demon Subduing Douluo was tall and burly, with a fiery temper. Seeing Qian Jun Douluo's condition, he spoke in surprise.

His elder brother had never looked this bedraggled before.

It looked as though someone had given him a thorough working-over.

Qian Jun Douluo sighed and recounted what had happened.

"A Douluo with a Space Martial Soul!"

"Very good! He actually dared bully my elder brother. Fine, we'll take him on together and smash him to pieces!"

Demon Subduing Douluo clenched his fists, fierce fighting spirit erupting from him.

He was no longer young, but he still could not rein in his temper.

Qian Jun Douluo nodded slightly, and the two immediately headed out of the Worship Hall.

Before long, they arrived at the place where Qian Jun Douluo had been attacked.

"Elder brother, was it here?"

Demon Subduing Douluo surveyed the surroundings. The house was already in ruins. That Douluo with a Space Martial Soul was probably long gone.

"Exactly. Be careful. He may still be nearby!"

Qian Jun Douluo waved his hand and summoned his Martial Soul, the Coiling Dragon Staff. Gripping it, he looked around warily.

"Brother, aren't you being a little oversensitive?"

Demon Subduing Douluo was somewhat overconfident. He did not believe anyone would be so blind as to come out and oppose the two brothers.

That would simply be courting death.

"Hey, you Space Martial Soul Douluo hiding your head and tail! If you have the guts, come out and fight us brothers. Don't be a turtle with its head tucked into its shell!"

Demon Subduing Douluo spoke arrogantly.

Li Tianyuan was sitting atop the ruins, practicing his Soul Skill, Wind God Leg. He had not intended to pay them any attention.

But after hearing those words, he stood up.

If he remembered correctly, both brothers had the Coiling Dragon Staff as their Martial Soul, and both were level 96 Douluo. But their minds were in harmony, and when they joined forces, their combined strength was terrifying.

[Ding! System mission triggered: toy with the two brothers to receive a system reward.]

Another mission.

Li Tianyuan felt he had no choice but to act.

Following the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Steps through specific positions in space and time, he appeared before Demon Subduing Douluo in an instant and unleashed a series of Wind God Leg kicks.

Bang, bang, bang...

Wind God Leg struck Demon Subduing Douluo.

The previously overbearing Demon Subduing Douluo took three consecutive kicks. His body flew backward and smashed into the wall behind him, raising a shower of dust.

"Damn it!"

Qian Jun Douluo flew into a rage and swung his Coiling Dragon Staff at him.

A booming sound rang out, like a dragon's roar.

But Li Tianyuan had already followed the Nine Palaces positions and shifted elsewhere.

Qian Jun Douluo could not detect that movement at all.

"Damn you! You dared ambush me!"

"Coiling Dragon Staff!"

At that moment, Demon Subduing Douluo rose from the collapsed wall, his face and head covered in dust. He clenched a fist, fury written across his face.

He opened his other hand, and the Coiling Dragon Staff appeared in it.

"Thief, get out here and die!"

Demon Subduing Douluo roared furiously.

Since becoming a Titled Douluo, when had he ever suffered such a grievous setback?

Someone had kicked him several times in succession, and the pain was rather hard to bear.

If word got out, where would he hide his face?

Meanwhile, on a nearby rooftop, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan watched with his hands clasped behind his back. The corners of his mouth curved upward, as though seeing the brothers suffer had made him quite happy.

"These two old bastards throw their age and seniority around and look down on us Douluo who haven't entered the Worship Hall. Someone has finally taught them a lesson!"

"That really does soothe the heart."

Chrysanthemum Douluo muttered under his breath.

He had been ordered to monitor Qian Jun Douluo's every move and had initially thought it would be a boring assignment.

But seeing how things had turned out, he found himself looking forward to it instead.

He hoped every last one of those old fossils in the Worship Hall would get a thorough thrashing.

Of course, he dared not let his guard down. After all, that mysterious Douluo with the Space Martial Soul might make a move against him.

He could only watch the spectacle cautiously.

"You scoundrel! Kick me again if you've got the guts! See if I don't break your leg!"

Clutching the Coiling Dragon Staff, Demon Subduing Douluo shouted challenges in every direction and swung wildly, but he clearly had no idea where Li Tianyuan was.
