On the other side, in the inner palace corridor
Countless royal guards rushed in from both sides, unleashing a barrage of Soul Skill at them. If it weren't for the profound Soul Power of Yang Wudi, Flender, and Yu Yuanheng, they would have been worn down to death long ago.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
At that moment, Yu Xiaogang, who was running at the back of the group, was shot in the thigh and staggered to the ground. Flender, who was next to him, quickly stepped back and carried him on his back.
"Ugh..."
" Xiao Gang, are you alright?"
"It's alright!" Yu Xiaogang quickly said, "We absolutely cannot let them block our way; they're here to kill us!"
Tap tap tap... Tap tap tap...
The royal guards on both sides rapidly approached, and a Soul Saint- level commander shouted, "Don't engage them head-on! Use ranged Soul Skill to slow them down! The rest of you, quickly move forward to surround them!"
"Yes!"
"Damn it, how come there are people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in the group?! Aren't they on good terms with our Heaven Dou Imperial Family? Why are they kidnapping the Emperor?!"
"Could our commander be a traitor to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
The commander said with a grim face, "Never mind whether he's a traitor or not, don't let a single one escape. Call in the entire Heaven Dou Royal Guard, and also send a message to the Royal Soul Master Corps patrolling Heaven Dou City, asking them to help surround the Imperial Palace. Don't let anyone out!"
"Yes!"
Bang! Boom boom boom...
"Ugh..."
Just then, a powerful dragon-shaped lightning bolt and spear force directly broke through the frontal encirclement of the Heaven Dou Royal Guard, and Tang San and his group were about to escape the inner palace's encirclement.
"Commander, their offensive is too strong, we can't stop them!"
The commander roared, "We have to stop them, even if we can't! We absolutely cannot let them take the Emperor out!"
"Yes!"
Ang ang ang...
At that very moment, a giant blue dragon-shaped lightning bolt struck in front of Tang San's team, instantly freezing them in place.
"Who?!"
Just as they were about to break through the encirclement, a tall and aloof beauty blocked their way. She wore a dark green shawl and hot pants, with over-the-knee boots on her feet. Her sexy, snow-white abdomen and thighs were exposed to the air, and her full buttocks made the black hot pants and dark green shawl form a perfect curve.
Tang San and the others were slightly taken aback, especially Yu Xiaogang, who was first shocked, then revealed an expression even more disgusting than if he had eaten shit.
Flender stammered, "Er... Erlong, why...?"
Liu Erlong looked at him with a complicated expression, and said calmly, " Boss Fu, hand over Xue Ye, and you can leave."
"Why?!" Flender shouted, " Erlong, we're good friends, aren't we? Get out of my way! Xiao Gang and I don't want to be your enemies!"
"To be my enemy?" Liu Erlong sneered, "He doesn't deserve it!"
Yu Xiaogang's lips twitched violently, a wave of bitterness washing over him, and he deeply regretted not saying a few kind words to coax her back.
In the short time they had wasted, the royal guards had already surrounded them, and even the thousands of royal guards stationed and patrolling in Heaven Dou City were rushing towards the imperial palace.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Several guards clad in golden armor leaped forward. They were all commanders of the Heaven Dou Royal Guard, each Soul Douluo of level 80 or above. These commanders were either members of the Xue Family clan or loyal retainers of the Heaven Dou Royal Guard.
"What on earth is going on?!"
"These people are incredibly audacious! They dared to capture Xue Ye! His Highness the Crown Prince has ordered us to capture them all!"
Liu Erlong said calmly, "I am a second-generation member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. I have been invited by His Highness the Crown Prince to clean up the family's mess."
Tang San's expression changed drastically. "That's not how it is! Let us explain! Crown Prince ' Xue Qinghe ' is no longer your Crown Prince. Xue Ye is poisoned, and we are here to detoxify him!"
"Antidote?" A commander-in-chief said expressionlessly, "Alright, then hand over the Emperor to us first, and then we'll slowly work out the detox, how about that?"
Tang San's expression changed drastically. "No, if we hand Xue Ye over to you, he's doomed! That imposter ' Xue Qinghe ' won't let this opportunity pass!"
"Hahaha..." The Grand Commander laughed loudly, then his face instantly darkened. "Do you think we're three-year-olds?! That we'll believe whatever you say!"
Another commander coldly said, "Stop wasting time talking to them, let's get the Emperor back first!"
"Agree!"
Yang Wudi gave a low shout and rushed forward to clear a path, "Sect Master, I'll clear the way for you, you go first!"
Upon seeing this, a high-ranking officer went straight to meet him and engaged in a fierce battle.
On the other side
Liu Erlong also set her sights on her cousin Yu Yuanheng. Although she had completely given up on Yu Xiaogang, she didn't want to make a move against her older brother Flender, since he had taken good care of her before and had never done anything to wrong her.
She had made up her mind that if Flender were captured, she would protect his life, even if it meant losing all dignity in front of her master and husband, not out of affection, but solely to repay a debt of gratitude.
This is her personality, and perhaps one of the main reasons why Lin Chen likes her...
Yu Yuanheng's face was grave. " Erlong's niece, your father valued the family highly back then, so why did you betray the family and join the Spirit Hall?!"
Liu Erlong's beautiful eyes were cold and clear. "Now that things have come to this, what's the point of judging right or wrong, good or evil? Uncle, you might as well go all out, otherwise... you might not be able to leave the Imperial Palace today."
"Hmph! How arrogant!" Yu Yuanheng roared, "As an 88th-level Soul Douluo, do you think I can't suppress a little girl like you?"
"Why don't you give it a try and see!"
Sizzle sizzle...
As soon as the words were spoken, two Martial Soul, one red and one blue, radiating lightning, clashed together. One of them was none other than Liu Erlong's Martial Soul, the Scarlet Dragon.
Her Martial Soul is extremely special. It not only contains the lightning attribute of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but also has an additional fire attribute, making it more powerful than the ordinary Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.
Bang! Boom boom boom...
"Ugh..."
With a direct impact, Yu Yuanheng cried out in pain and staggered back several feet. His Martial Soul emitted a mournful groan, clearly indicating that the blow had caused him considerable pain.
"A level 87 Soul Douluo?!"
Yu Yuanheng's face changed drastically. "In just three years, your Soul Power has actually increased by a whole realm!"
Liu Erlong's lips curled up slightly. "I have to thank our Pope sister for her support, otherwise how could I have suppressed my uncle today?"
Yu Yuanheng's old face was very solemn. He glanced at the surrounding situation out of the corner of his eye, and the thought of retreating began to take root in his mind...
On the other side
Yang Wudi's combat power was unparalleled. It took two Soul Douluo -level commanders to barely hold him back, while Flender, who had just been promoted to Soul Douluo, was also held back by a Soul Douluo with a flying Martial Soul.
Most importantly, Tang San, at the Soul Saint level, wielding the Clear Sky Hammer, managed to block the attack of a Soul Douluo Commander, while also being harassed by Lesser Commanders who were at the Soul Saint.
In the center of them, two disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan firmly protected Xue Ye behind them, as if afraid that someone would take him away.
