The appearance of the four Soul Douluos gave Xue Beng hope.
In his view, his life would be safe today.
Then, Xue Beng looked at Xue Tianmo again. Where was even a trace of his earlier fear in his eyes?
"Uncle Luo, this man assassinated a prince in the street and killed so many of my guards. We cannot let him off lightly!"
Xue Beng glanced at a burly man and said.
Hearing this, the man's expression darkened, and his gaze settled on Xue Tianmo.
"Kid, you've got some nerve."
"This is Heaven Dou Imperial City. You are not allowed to run wild here!"
"You killed Imperial Family guards in broad daylight and even intended to attack the Fourth Prince. This is a grave crime."
"If you know what's good for you, surrender at once."
Luo Wu said gravely, intending to give Xue Tianmo a chance to turn himself in.
"Heh heh!"
Xue Tianmo sneered upon hearing this.
"What an imposing display!"
"You did not even ask what happened, yet you are already taking the Imperial Family prince's side?"
"It seems you are all lapdogs raised by the Imperial Family!"
As soon as Xue Tianmo said this, Luo Wu's expression changed drastically, and he shouted furiously, "Insolence!"
Boom!
The moment his words fell, a powerful surge of Soul Power erupted from Luo Wu's body.
Immediately afterward, he released his martial soul.
Roar! Roar!
Behind him, the phantom of a giant wolf emerged.
The phantom wolf was shrouded in blazing fire from head to toe. The moment it appeared, the surrounding temperature rose sharply.
Moreover, the eight soul rings circling Luo Wu's body shone brilliantly.
As Luo Wu released his martial soul, the other three Soul Douluos followed suit.
In less than a moment, they had all released their own martial souls.
They were all assault-type Soul Douluos!
In an instant, four terrifying waves of pressure, almost tangible, bore down directly upon Xue Tianmo!
"Hm?"
Xue Tianmo's expression darkened slightly at the sight.
After all, he was only a Soul Emperor in his sixties.
Facing four Soul Douluos still put him under considerable pressure.
Xue Beng watched with a smug look on his face.
Weren't you acting arrogant just now, brat? Once you're captured, I'll make sure you get a taste of what it means to wish you were dead!
He muttered to himself, the corners of his lips curling into a sly, sinister smile.
Just as the oppressive aura of Luo Wu and the other four Soul Douluos descended upon Xue Tianmo, he prepared to make his move.
But at that moment, the Ice Empress, who stood behind him, suddenly took a step forward.
Boom!
As her foot landed, the surrounding space was instantly invaded by frigid cold, and the temperature plummeted.
At the same time, the oppressive force surging toward Xue Tianmo was instantly frozen by the chill.
"This?"
The expressions of Luo Wu and the other four Soul Douluos changed dramatically, their faces filled with disbelief.
"You dare lay a hand on my Tianmo? Are your lives too long?"
After stepping forward, the Ice Empress narrowed her eyes, her gaze turning icy and severe.
Then, an incomparably powerful aura spread from her body.
The instant it emerged, this aura shattered the pressure emitted by the four Soul Douluos, which had been frozen in ice.
Luo Wu and the others froze in shock when they sensed it.
"A... Titled Douluo?"
"A peak level 97 Super Douluo!!"
"How is that possible?"
They stared in stunned disbelief, their faces filled with incredulity.
None of them had expected the unassuming Ice Empress to be so powerful.
Before Luo Wu and the other four Soul Douluos could react, the Ice Empress had already made her move.
Eternal Frost Domain!
With a light wave of her hand—
In an instant, a piercing chill enveloped the entire area.
Before long, Luo Wu and the other four Soul Douluos were trapped within the Ice Empress's domain.
Seeing this, the four quickly recovered from their shock.
"Attack together!"
Luo Wu glanced at the other three. Just as he was about to act, an icy chill had already swept over him.
Immediately after, his body was visibly covered in a layer of Ice Crystal. Even his Blazing Fire Wolf martial soul was frozen solid.
At the same time, the other three Soul Douluos suffered the same fate. Invaded by the chill, they were turned directly into ice sculptures!
The Ice Empress paid this no mind and simply snapped her fingers at the four frozen men.
The next moment, the frozen bodies of Luo Wu and the other four Soul Douluos shattered on the spot, turning into piles of flesh and blood.
"Ah?"
The surrounding spectators felt their scalps go numb at the sight.
"This?"
"The four Soul Douluos are just... gone?"
"They're all dead?"
"What kind of technique was that?"
"That's terrifying!"
The crowd cried out in shock, their faces full of disbelief.
Xue Beng stood rooted to the spot, looking as though his soul had left his body. The terror in his heart had reached an indescribable level.
"I... I actually harassed a Super Douluo in the street?"
He muttered tremblingly, his mind buzzing as goosebumps rose all over his body.
At this moment, the Ice Empress suddenly looked at him and smiled faintly.
"You're a prince, right? You said earlier that you wanted me to serve you?"
Upon hearing the Ice Empress's words, Xue Beng collapsed to the ground in fright and hurriedly kowtowed, begging for mercy.
"Senior! Xue Beng was ignorant before and failed to recognize your greatness. I offended you!"
"I beg you, Senior, please do not hold it against me. Spare me this once!"
The Ice Empress cast Xue Beng a cold glance before turning to Xue Tianmo.
"Tianmo, I'll leave how to deal with him to you."
Xue Tianmo nodded and looked at Xue Beng.
"Fourth Prince, do you think the Heaven Dou Imperial Family would offend a Super Douluo for your sake?"
"If I kill you now, do you think they would avenge you?"
After Xue Tianmo said this, Xue Beng began trembling all over.
Naturally, he knew that the Heaven Dou Imperial Family would never offend a level 96 Super Douluo because of him.
Even if he died today, the Imperial Family would not pursue the matter.
The more he thought about it, the more panicked and helpless Xue Beng became, until even his breathing turned ragged.
"I... I know I was wrong! Please let me go! I'll never dare do it again!"
Xue Beng looked at Xue Tianmo with a pleading expression, filled with regret as he wondered why he had ever thought of harassing the Ice Empress.
Xue Tianmo paid no attention to Xue Beng's pleas and said coldly, "Wait for now."
"Let's see how the Heaven Dou Imperial Family handles this after they learn of it."
Meanwhile.
At Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Xue Ye was reviewing documents. A host of civil and military officials stood within the hall, waiting for his instructions.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps rang out from outside the hall.
"Hm?"
Xue Ye immediately frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What is so urgent?"
The newcomer quickly fell to his knees. Daring not conceal anything, he told Xue Ye about Xue Beng's situation.
"What?"
Upon receiving the news, Xue Ye was deeply shaken, his face full of disbelief.
The news was simply too shocking.
Xue Beng had actually offended a Super Douluo, and four Soul Douluos from the Imperial Family's side had already died because of it!
