Demon Subduing Douluo came charging with his staff, Qian Jun Douluo following behind him. Qian Jun wanted to stop him, but his fool of a younger brother was far too worked up. Without another word, he swung his staff straight at Guang Ling-
"Boom!"
He was a Titled Douluo, after all. That single blow would wreck at least half of Guang Ling Hall.
"Seventh! Are you asking for a beating?!"
Dust billowed into the sky. Guang Ling, who had been full of guilt just moments ago, now had his Soul Rings surrounding him as he flew straight toward Demon Subduing Douluo.
A massive crater had been smashed into Guang Ling Hall. The perfectly fine golden hall had lost every trace of its grandeur. Guang Ling had poured years of savings into it, and now, with one swing of his staff, Demon Subduing Douluo had struck not only his home but also the little pot of gold he had spent years filling.
Could Guang Ling swallow that anger?
Of course not!
"If I don't beat you until you're begging on the ground today, then my name isn't Guang Ling!"
"Then what are you planning to call yourself, Fifth Brother? Blockhead?"
Demon Subduing Douluo burst out laughing. Red energy radiated from his body as he kept dodging the ice arrows Guang Ling shot at him. He rested his jet-black Coiling Dragon Staff on his shoulder, utterly unconcerned with how furious Guang Ling was.
"Sev. Enth!"
Guang Ling practically ground the words out through his clenched back teeth. Bow in hand, he flew at Demon Subduing Douluo so quickly that even the spectators below could barely follow his movements.
"Looks like Seventh won't escape a beating today."
Azure Luan Douluo offered his earnest assessment.
"I think they're both probably getting beaten."
Qian Jun Douluo added his own opinion.
One had injured Qian Renyue; the other had smashed Guang Ling Hall.
It wasn't as though smashing the hall was a minor offense, but Qian Renyue was still inside Guang Ling Hall, and Eldest Brother was in there too. With such a huge commotion, it would be strange if the people inside let the culprit off easily.
Qian Jun Douluo shook his head helplessly. He felt that whenever these two got together, they were bound to stir up raging winds and towering waves.
"Sixth, aren't you going to stop them?"
The figure wreathed in blue energy and the figure wreathed in red energy clashed noisily in midair. Clearly, the red figure was at a complete disadvantage, with practically no ability to fight back.
Mighty Lion Douluo felt that things weren't looking good, so he called out to Qian Jun Douluo. "..."
Qian Jun Douluo actually disliked being called Sixth, because...
He really wasn't a sneaky schemer...
Besides, those two idiots were fighting at full steam. Right now, only Eldest Brother and Second Brother could stop them. Everyone else could forget about it.
Third Brother was cool and aloof, while Fourth Brother was enjoying the show. Neither of them was stepping in, yet they wanted little old Sixth, Seventh's older brother, to go?
Wasn't that just sending him over to get beaten by Guang Ling?
He wasn't going.
Qian Jun Douluo refused to intervene, and neither Azure Luan Douluo nor Mighty Lion Douluo would do anything either. The grand responsibility of breaking up the fight naturally fell to Golden Crocodile Douluo, who had remained silent for some time.
Golden Crocodile Douluo had always held himself to strict standards, but this time, he had not spoken at all. Azure Luan Douluo instinctively looked toward him. Their eyes met, but neither could read anything in the other's gaze.
While the battle raged outside, the deafening staff strike that made the floor tremble also jolted Qian Renyue awake inside.
"Holy shit, what the hell was that noise?!"
Qian Renyue's sudden awakening startled both Qian Daoliu and Little Phoenix. Qian Daoliu had been planning to go outside and give someone a tongue-lashing, but seeing that Qian Renyue was awake, he decided to deal with those two troublesome fools later.
"Yueyue, how are you? How do you feel?"
Qian Daoliu's handsome face replaced the familiar ceiling in her view. Qian Renyue's eyes widened as she stared straight at him, appreciating this man's beauty for the umpteenth time. "Grandpa, was that an earthquake?"
She asked with an adorably blank expression.
"Ah... well..."
Qian Daoliu hadn't expected that question upon her waking. His expression grew a little complicated. "There wasn't an earthquake. It's just..."
"Crash!"
Before he could finish, the chandelier out in the living room suddenly fell to the floor. The glass shards scattered everywhere made a mockery of Qian Daoliu's words. "..."
Qian Daoliu said no more. His face darkened into an utterly foul expression. The falling chandelier also brought Qian Renyue fully awake. She abruptly sat up, suddenly very grateful that she hadn't chosen to sleep beneath it.
The battle outside continued. Qian Daoliu hadn't wanted to wear a sour expression in front of Qian Renyue, but if nobody disciplined that idiot outside, the whole of Guang Ling Hall would probably be torn apart.
"Yueyue, rest here for now. Grandpa will be right back."
He reassured Qian Renyue with a smile, but his face turned gloomy again the moment he turned around. Bristling with resentment, he left her room and headed straight outside.
"Eldest Brother."
Azure Luan Douluo sensed Qian Daoliu first. He turned and bowed his head slightly toward him. Then Mighty Lion Douluo and Golden Crocodile Douluo greeted him as well. "Eldest Brother."
"Mm."
Qian Daoliu answered in a low voice. It wasn't hard to tell that those two attention-seekers were both getting a beating today.
Guang Ling and Jiang Mo had been fighting outside for over ten minutes, and both had expended a great deal of Soul Power. If Qian Daoliu unleashed a powerful attack on them now, they would end up either crippled or injured-a true pair of brothers in misfortune.
Qian Jun Douluo said, "Amitabha."
All he could do was pray inwardly for his hotheaded idiot of a younger brother.
The Angel Domain spread out, enveloping several thousand square meters of sky and trapping Guang Ling and Jiang Mo within it. Before long, they felt some of their strength being suppressed. The Angel Domain brimmed with sacred power, and this one had been unleashed by the demigod Qian Daoliu, no less. "Fourth Soul Skill, Angel Blades!"
As he activated his Martial Soul Avatar, divine radiance descended. The Angel True Body behind Qian Daoliu took the form of a young woman with her eyes closed and her hands clasped before her chest. A single clear tear rolled from the corner of her eye, and several sharp, spike-like golden blades suddenly appeared behind her.
The blades gathered divine radiance, then shot toward Guang Ling and Jiang Mo in rapid succession.
Within the Angel Domain, Guang Ling and Jiang Mo moved much more slowly than usual. Neither bothered with their earlier grudge now. Instead, they joined forces to withstand Qian Daoliu's attacks.
Guang Ling and Jiang Mo alone could not withstand a demigod Angel Douluo, especially when neither was at full strength. With one powerful attack from Qian Daoliu, the Angel Holy Sword, blazing with golden light, tore straight through their defenses. Azure Luan Douluo's and Mighty Lion Douluo's eyes flickered, and they hurried forward to catch the falling Guang Ling. On the other side, Qian Jun Douluo and Golden Crocodile Douluo caught Jiang Mo.
Together, they met Qian Daoliu's Angel Holy Sword head-on. "Shing!"
An intense white light flashed, and powerful Soul Power fluctuations rippled throughout Guang Ling Hall. Just then, encouraged by Little Phoenix, Qian Renyue opened her bedroom door. The brilliant light swept over the girl and the phoenix. Qian Renyue instinctively raised a hand to shield her eyes, only to find the light far too dazzling for them to bear. "Grandpa!"
