Qian Renxue stared at his profile for a long while, then a blush appeared on her cool and beautiful face. Although she was reluctant, she still broke free from his embrace. After all, she had to maintain the image of an empress in front of her subordinates.
"Hmph, didn't you go back?"
Lin Chen said softly, "I was worried that my precious daughter had been kidnapped, so I rushed back."
"Pah, who's your daughter? You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth..." Qian Renxue turned away haughtily, ignoring him, but a slight smile couldn't help but appear on her lips.
Although the group of silver-armored guards behind them couldn't hear what the two were talking about, they were extremely shocked by their intimate actions.
"Speaking of which, doesn't the Emperor know about the relationship between Your Highness Xue and His Holiness the Pope? How dare he..."
"You know nothing! With the Emperor's talent, becoming a god is only a matter of time. His Holiness the Pope is just consolidating his position as the Empress!"
"Dude, you're the one who really understands!"
"Of course, just watch. Your Highness Xue will eventually fall into the Emperor's grasp. When the time comes, with the mother and daughter on the field, one Pope the Spirit Hall and the other the Heaven Dou Empress Regnant, which woman in the Emperor's harem can rival them?"
Although their voices weren't loud, Qian Renxue, being Soul Douluo, still managed to vaguely hear them, and gave them a cold glance.
The two of them trembled instantly in fright and dared not utter another word.
Not far away
Holding the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Hao said with a solemn expression, " Lin Chen, it's you again!"
Lin Chen glanced at the bandages on his body and smiled mockingly, "What? Want to spar with me again this time?"
Tang Hao snorted coldly, " Lin Chen, I knew you would make a move, but this time you're not sparring with me!"
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow. "Looks like you've prepared quite well this time. Since you're here, stop hiding and let him come out."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
"How dare you hurt my nephew! Today I'll deal with you!" A tall, middle-aged man descended from the sky; he was none other than Tang Hao's older Tang Xiao.
At this moment, Tang Xiao's Soul Power was still above Tang Hao's, reaching an astonishing Level 96, and his combat strength was subtly above Tang Hao's.
The two were once known as the Clear Sky Twin Stars, possessing extraordinary talent and unparalleled combat power. Tang Hao's talent even surpassed that of his elder brother Tang Xiao. However, due to old injuries, Tang Hao's cultivation speed had slowed down considerably over the years, allowing Tang Xiao, whose talent was slightly inferior to his, to take the lead.
Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. "So it's you, Tang Xiao, the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, right?"
Behind him, Qian Renxue frowned slightly and advised, " Lin Chen, his Soul Power fluctuations are still above Tang Hao's. You are no match for either of them. You should leave first; they wouldn't dare to hurt me."
Lin Chen pinched her pretty cheek. "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I leave you here alone? Your grandfather hasn't come yet, which means they're having problems on their side too, maybe even at war."
"You just hide obediently behind your father and let him teach them a lesson!"
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth in anger. "Don't try to be a hero! They are both Peerless Douluo, and Super Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect at that!"
If Tang Hao could defeat Jiang Mo Qian Jun at level 95, then Tang Xiao would naturally be no match for him, since his Soul Power was even greater than Tang Hao's.
With their combined strength, the two of them can defeat the Golden Crocodile!
The original novel describes how Tang Hao, at Level 96, single-handedly severely injured the Level 98 Enshrined Golden Crocodile during the JYG battle, which is enough to prove the power of the Clear Sky Hammer.
"So what if he's Super Douluo?" Lin Chen said calmly, "I'm only interested in fighting Super Douluo; I have no interest in taking action against ordinary Titled Douluo!"
Qian Renxue her eyes at him, pouted, and then her pretty face changed slightly. "They're here!"
" Clear Sky True Body!"
" Third Soul Skill, Whirlwind Frenzied Dance!"
Sizzle sizzle...
The two attacked simultaneously, each wielding a massive Clear Sky Hammer, surrounded by terrifying lightning and Soul Power, creating a formidable spectacle.
Ang ang ang...
Just then, a massive purple dragon appeared out of thin air, its giant tail carrying terrifying Soul Power that directly knocked away the two attackers.
Bang! Boom boom boom...
"What is that?" Tang Xiao's expression changed slightly, and he exclaimed in surprise.
Tang Hao's expression darkened. "It's Soul Beast!"
Qian Renxue's beautiful face showed a hint of shock again. Although she had long heard that Lin Chen had a real dragon mount, she did not expect that its strength was so formidable.
" Tang Hao, you have your helpers, but so do I," Lin Chen said with interest. " Zi JI, you keep Tang Xiao company while I continue entertaining His Excellency Haotian."
Tang Xiao's expression was extremely solemn. "Brother Hao, this Soul Beast is no weaker than me. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for us to defeat them."
Tang Hao glanced at the barely alive Tang San and asked with resentment, "What about the Ancestor?"
Tang Xiao said helplessly, "The ancestor is holding back Qian Daoliu, and they are under a lot of pressure. Besides, even if they can come, the elders of the Clear Sky Sect might not come. Do you understand?"
Tang Hao's lips twitched slightly, and he nodded, saying, "I understand."
"Let's leave. We can avenge the Xiao San another time."
Watching them leave, Lin Chen sneered, "You think you can just fight whenever you want and leave whenever you want?!"
" Zi JI, Domain Control."
"Yes!" Zi JI shouted, her massive body spinning rapidly in the air, forming a huge vortex of Soul Power: " Abyssal Devour!"
far away
Tang Xiao's expression changed drastically. "Oh no, Brother Hao, you take Xiao San and leave first!"
"Big brother, then you..."
"Run! They can't kill me!" Tang Xiao shoved his younger brother away, then used his Clear Sky Hammer to cover his retreat.
" Clear Sky Body Protection, Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer!"
Powerful streams of Soul Power emanated from his hammer, emitting a series of whistling sounds as he desperately resisted the devouring power of Zi JI's domain.
" Sixth Soul Skill, Heaven Splitting!"
Lin Chen used his Soul Bone Skill to appear beside Tang Xiao, his red Soul Ring trembling as a crimson-gold giant sword slowly formed.
Pattern pattern pattern...
"Close your eyes in peace!"
Tang Xiao's face changed drastically. He ignored Zi JI's devouring attack and instead desperately struck out with his last hammer to the side, trying to block Lin Chen's attack.
" Great Sumeru Hammer!"
Clang! Boom boom boom...
A surge of Soul Power erupted, and Tang Xiao's body was directly devoured by Zi JI. The immense pressure of the Soul Power caused him to cough up a mouthful of blood.
Just then, a radiant light shone from his body, and he forcefully broke free from Zi JI's control, fleeing forward in a disheveled state.
"Hmm?" Lin Chen raised an eyebrow but did not chase after him. Without Zi JI's cooperation, it would be difficult for him to catch up and kill Tang Xiao on his own.
Zi JI transformed into human form, a hint of fear appearing on her mature and alluring face. "Master, I couldn't keep him."
Lin Chen chuckled and casually put his arm around her soft waist, "It's alright, he has a defensive Soul Bone, it's normal that he can't control himself."
far away
Seeing Lin Chen so intimately with her pet beast, Qian Renxue immediately pouted, feeling extremely depressed and aggrieved.
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and head home!"
"Uh... yes!"
The group of silver-armored guards scurried into formation and headed towards Heaven Dou City.
