Outside the Federation Court,
a figure charged straight into the city defense troops stationed there.
"War God Long! What are you doing?!"
"War God Long, the Federation Court is a secure facility holding serious criminals! You can't barge in!"
Long Xiaoyao's face was dark.
"Get lost!"
He thrust one hand forward, and a terrifying torrent of Soul Power instantly sent over a thousand mechas flying.
However, Long Xiaoyao did not kill them. He knew these people were only doing their duty, so he simply disabled their mechas.
"Zhaolu..."
Long Xiaoyao drew a deep breath and charged forward.
Just then,
Long Xiaoyao spotted a couple pleading on the ground.
"Our daughter Zhaolu must have been falsely accused! Your Honor, please let us see our daughter Zhaolu..."
The middle-aged couple's hair had turned completely white as they knelt and pleaded.
"These are...?"
Long Xiaoyao started, suddenly remembering that they were the owners of the restaurant where he and Ye Zhaolu had eaten.
In an instant, Long Xiaoyao understood. That little restaurant had been run by Ye Zhaolu's parents.
In other words,
when Ye Zhaolu had taken him there before, she had actually brought him home to meet her parents.
A sharp pain struck Long Xiaoyao's heart. He swiftly landed and looked at them.
"Leave at once. I'll save Zhaolu."
"You're War God Long?"
The middle-aged couple exclaimed in surprise, "War God Long, it's you! Have you recovered? You have to believe our daughter. Zhaolu couldn't have attacked you... she really didn't do it..."
"We watched our Zhaolu grow up from childhood! She doesn't have an evil Martial Soul! She doesn't!"
The couple clung to each other and wept bitterly.
Long Xiaoyao nodded.
"I know. Leave right now and go home to pack your things. I'll bring Zhaolu to you shortly."
"What? War God Long, you're going to break her out of prison?!"
The couple were even more shocked.
"Yes. Hurry and go!"
Long Xiaoyao took flight. He could already sense powerful figures coming out!
The couple exchanged a glance, then immediately rose and left.
At that moment,
Chen Xinjie and Long Yeyue flew high into the sky.
Chen Xinjie exclaimed in shock and doubt, "Long Xiaoyao, what are you doing?! Have you lost your mind, daring to force your way into the Federation Court?!"
Long Yeyue reacted the same way, but inwardly, she rejoiced.
Good! Let him barge in!
This way, Long Xiaoyao would also be imprisoned for breaking someone out, and the War God Temple would inevitably be disgraced. With that, what would Shrek's earlier defeat at the hands of the War God Temple amount to?!
Perhaps people would even say she had been right to teach Long Xiaoyao a lesson!
Long Xiaoyao's face was dark. "Move!"
Chen Xinjie was startled. "You really mean to break her out? Long Xiaoyao, turn back right now, and I can help you suppress this matter! Do not disgrace our War God Temple!"
Seeing this, Long Yeyue hurriedly spoke. "Long Xiaoyao, your woman Ye Zhaolu has already been thrown into prison. Cai Yue'er is torturing her to make her name the Holy Spirit Cult's criminals. Don't obstruct official business!"
Hearing this, Long Xiaoyao flew into a towering rage.
"I said, move!"
Boom!
His Dark Holy Dragon Martial Soul erupted at full power. The sky instantly darkened, and a terrifying domain enveloped the entire Federation Court!
"You...!"
Chen Xinjie was both shocked and furious. He turned to glance at Long Yeyue beside him and understood. Shrek's hands were probably not clean in Ye Zhaolu's arrest!
Otherwise, why would Long Yeyue deliberately provoke Long Xiaoyao?
But regardless,
Chen Xinjie could not let Long Xiaoyao enter now. If a female Evil Soul Master died, so be it. Even if she had been falsely accused, the War God Temple's reputation absolutely could not be tarnished!
"Insolence!"
Chen Xinjie instantly released his sea Martial Soul. The sounds of waves and tides rang out around him, and crushing pressure enveloped Long Xiaoyao.
As a level-99 Quasi-God, Chen Xinjie was confident he could stop Long Xiaoyao.
Yet the suppression he had expected did not occur.
Long Xiaoyao's dark Soul Power suddenly devoured his power of the sea, neutralizing it!
"You..."
Chen Xinjie was shocked. To dispel his attack so easily, Long Xiaoyao was actually no weaker than a Limit Douluo!
Long Xiaoyao had just fought the two Dark Heavenly Kings. With the memories of his past and present lives connected, his Soul Power had broken through two levels in succession, reaching level 97!
Moreover, he possessed the combat memories of a Limit Douluo from his previous life.
Looking at these two, Long Xiaoyao grew even angrier.
He had finally awakened his memories, only to see his beloved seized by Shrek in the blink of an eye. Today, never mind a Quasi-God-even if a true god came, he would fight!
Long Yeyue watched from the sidelines with a smile.
With her old lover taking action, she was not worried in the slightest.
Long Xiaoyao charged forward. Chen Xinjie snorted coldly, and his power of the sea formed a sea wall, instantly blocking the way!
Having taken the form of a black dragon, Long Xiaoyao charged with all his might and slammed fearlessly into the sea wall!
Boom!
The terrifying force reverberated throughout the Federation Court.
Yu Guanzhi came out just then. Seeing the black dragon crashing into the sea wall in the sky, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly flew up.
"Brother Long! Don't do anything foolish!"
Long Xiaoyao's face was dark. He absolutely could not retreat now. Every moment he delayed meant another moment of torment for Zhaolu!
Yet Chen Xinjie's combat strength was indeed formidable.
The Dark Holy Dragon rammed with all its might, distorting the sea wall, but still could not break through completely.
"Not enough! Again!"
The next instant,
the dark Soul Power around Long Xiaoyao grew even denser, and the Dark Holy Dragon charged forward once more!
"You refuse to see reason!"
Chen Xinjie's gaze turned icy. He was a formidable figure capable of battling Yun Ming, and now he was truly enraged.
Towering blue Soul Power, vast as the sea and deep as an abyss, descended from the sky and smashed viciously down at the Dark Holy Dragon!
Yu Guanzhi's heart trembled. This strike from Chen Xinjie was powerful enough to kill a level-98 Peak Douluo!
He hurriedly called out, "Long Xiaoyao! Stop charging!"
Yet determination surged into Long Xiaoyao's eyes.
"I said it's not enough! Again!!!"
Roar!
The next instant, the Dark Holy Dragon suddenly threw back its head and roared. The surrounding Darkness Domain instantly channeled endless power into its body.
And,
within Long Xiaoyao himself, the Dark Holy Dragon's origin instantly began to burn!
By burning his origin and drawing on the power of the surrounding Soul Masters, Long Xiaoyao's strength instantly leaped two levels, soaring straight to level 99!
Seeing this, Yu Guanzhi's voice trembled. "You've gone mad! This will damage your foundation for reaching the Limit in the future!"
Yu Guanzhi's heart ached. By detonating his origin like this, Long Xiaoyao had lost all hope of breaking through to the Limit in this lifetime!
"My foundation?"
Long Xiaoyao's eyes were blood-red.
"The Limit is still far away, but the enemy is right here! I said, get out of my way!"
The Dark Holy Dragon instantly grew several times larger, becoming a true Darkness Dragon Emperor, and actually smashed through Chen Xinjie's defenses with ease!
"You...!"
Chen Xinjie was stunned. He had never expected the power Long Xiaoyao unleashed in that instant to overwhelm him!
The Dark Holy Dragon broke through the sea wall and headed straight beneath the court!
Chen Xinjie gritted his teeth. This place was not the sea, and his strength was greatly diminished.
Just as Chen Xinjie was about to step forward to stop him again,
Yu Guanzhi's presence erupted. In an instant, he seized Chen Xinjie in his arms and flew straight into the distance!
"Bastard! What are you doing?!"
Chen Xinjie was dumbfounded.
Yu Guanzhi roared, "What am I doing? Chen Xinjie, you're our temple master, yet you side with outsiders at every turn! Today, I'm going all out against you!"
Divine Brush Douluo Yu Guanzhi unleashed the full force of his Limit-level cultivation, dragging Chen Xinjie over a hundred li away in a brief moment!
"You've fucking lost your mind too!"
Chen Xinjie lost his composure and flew into a rage, redirecting his Soul Power to attack Yu Guanzhi.
Yet Yu Guanzhi's eyes were fierce. He was a Limit Douluo, after all. Even if he could not defeat Chen Xinjie, Chen Xinjie could forget about crushing him in an instant!
Long Yeyue's face was livid. "The War God Temple really is a pack of lunatics!"
"Fine, then. Let this old woman handle it!"
Long Yeyue flew forward, revealing her Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul as she moved to stop Long Xiaoyao.
Yet Long Xiaoyao merely gave her a contemptuous glance.
"Who the hell are you? You think you're worthy of stopping me? Die!"
Long Xiaoyao did not take Long Yeyue seriously at all. With a backhand strike, his Dark Dragon Claw instantly slammed into her.
"Ah!!!"
Long Yeyue was horrified. Her Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul was instantly suppressed!
The Dark Dragon Claw caught her body, driving her straight into the ground and dragging her over a thousand meters!
"Cough, cough!"
Long Yeyue finally came to a halt and spat out a mouthful of blood. She stared at her chest in horror. The Dark Dragon Claw had left an enormous wound so deep that bone was visible!
"This..."
She did not understand. They were both Limit Douluos, so why had Long Xiaoyao injured her so badly with a single move?!
"Zhaolu!"
Long Xiaoyao plunged toward the ground at full speed.
With a boom, the ground shattered, and he arrived directly before the cell door.
The Dark Holy Dragon took human form. Long Xiaoyao stood on the ground, bare-chested.
There, before him,
Cai Yue'er held Ye Zhaolu up with one hand. Sharp silver light emerged from her other hand, aimed at Ye Zhaolu's neck.
"Stay back, or I'll kill her!"
Cai Yue'er spoke viciously.
"If you dare hurt her, I will slaughter every last member of your Shrek!"
Long Xiaoyao did not back down. His voice was icy.
Looking at Ye Zhaolu, covered in injuries with her hands and feet pierced through, the rage in his heart burned even hotter.
Yet Ye Zhaolu, injured all over, suddenly smiled the moment she saw Long Xiaoyao.
The instant their eyes met, Ye Zhaolu understood that Long Xiaoyao and Long Xiaoyao had long since merged into one.
"Do it, Xiaoyao! Do it!"
Ye Zhaolu spoke.
"Shut up!"
The silver light in Cai Yue'er's hand pierced the skin of Ye Zhaolu's neck, drawing blood.
Hatred filled Cai Yue'er's eyes. "Why?! I've treated you so well! Why isn't the person you love me?!
"It would be one thing if you didn't love me, but you actually love an Evil Soul Master! Long Xiaoyao, why?!"
Around the three of them,
the Shrek Law Enforcement Team encircled them in layers. All several dozen members wore mechas, with Titled Douluos among them holding the line.
"Breaking an Evil Soul Master out of prison! Long Xiaoyao, do you admit your crime?!"
A member of the Shrek Law Enforcement Team shouted angrily.
Long Yeyue also flew back from the distance at that moment, looking down from above.
"An Evil Soul Master?"
Long Xiaoyao chuckled, then abruptly sucked one of Shrek's surrounding Titled Douluos toward him and instantly crushed his head with one hand!
"There's another Evil Soul Master here!"
Dark Soul Power erupted from Long Xiaoyao's entire body. Terrifying gravity bore down, knocking down a whole swath of those around him!
Amid the chaos,
Long Xiaoyao looked at Ye Zhaolu and silently mouthed three words:
Trust me.
The next moment,
Long Xiaoyao struck with brutal force,
A Dark Dragon Claw instantly pierced through Ye Zhaolu's body, then burst out through her back and plunged straight into Cai Yue'er's body!
Cai Yue'er's body went rigid, and she looked down in disbelief at the Dark Dragon Claw piercing her body.
The next moment, the Dark Dragon Claw's power erupted directly inside her!
Boom!
The Soul Core in Cai Yue'er's chest and abdomen shattered outright! Terrifying Soul Power instantly destroyed every trace of life within her!
With a bang,
The Dark Dragon Claw vanished,
Cai Yue'er's body collapsed straight to the ground, the excruciating pain of her meridians being severed inch by inch making her entire body convulse.
"Why..."
But Long Xiaoyao did not even look at her. He swept Ye Zhaolu into his arms and held her tightly.
Then,
The two shot into the sky and vanished instantly into the horizon.
