The metal armrests of the wheelchair suddenly twisted and deformed!
Xu Tianran's face turned ashen.
Oh no, terrible--
I can't breathe...
This ruthless guy, I was just testing him, and he actually wanted to kill me?
Xu Tianran stared intently at Toji.
Just as Xu Tianran was about to suffocate, a dark shadow suddenly flashed out from behind a pillar in the palace.
"How dare you threaten His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The guard of the hunched old man slowly straightened up, his previously cloudy eyes now gleaming with sharp light.
His ordinary servant's clothes fluttered and rustled even without wind, and the terrifying pressure of a high-level Soul Master swept out like a tsunami, colliding fiercely with Toji's murderous aura that resembled mountains of corpses and seas of blood!
The moment the two forces collided, all the Soul Guidance Lamp in the entire palace shattered, the expensive glass windows broke into pieces, and even the heavy metal door frame groaned under the strain.
"Snort."
Toji a muffled groan, and the ground beneath his feet instantly cracked.
Behind him, a ferocious golden dragon phantom vaguely appeared, baring its fangs and claws, lifelike.
Even more astonishingly, his blood and Qi and Blood erupted like a volcanic eruption, and fine golden dragon scale patterns appeared on the surface of his face, managing to withstand the pressure of Titled Douluo.
He had known all along that Xu Tianran had Titled Douluo as his bodyguard.
Before his Qi and Blood merged with Di Qiu'er's, he wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant. When he met Xu Tianran, he would definitely have had Di Qiu'er stay in the shadows to support him at any time.
The two of them working together could indeed kill a Titled Douluo.
But after the fusion, everything changed.
With the added boost from the Golden Dragon Bloodline, Toji's abilities can be said to have been amplified to the extreme.
"That's impossible!"
The old man cried out in surprise, his hunched body straightening completely as nine Soul Ring rose uncontrollably from beneath his feet: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—the standard configuration for Titled Douluo!
To his astonishment, Toji appeared beneath Shen'er's feet were clearly eight Soul Ring: two yellow, two purple, and four black!
It's genuine Soul Douluo cultivation.
It's absolutely impossible to fake.
"How could a mere Contra Soul Douluo possibly accomplish something like this?"
The old man's voice was trembling.
In all his years, he had never seen such an absurd scene.
How could a Soul Douluo withstand the oppressive aura of Titled Douluo with pure Bloodline Power without being at a disadvantage?
"Old man," Toji licked his lips, " Titled Douluo, so what?"
Suddenly, a flurry of footsteps sounded outside the bedchamber, and dozens of fully armed guards rushed in, releasing their Martial Soul and fixing their gazes on Toji.
Seeing that a major battle was about to break out, Xu Tianran, who had caught his breath, immediately said:
"Everyone, step back. It's just a small commotion; there's no need to make a fuss."
Xu Tianran's voice was terribly hoarse. He slowly raised his trembling hand and wiped away the blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
The guards exchanged glances, then chose to obey orders, withdrew, and closed the door behind them.
After waving for the old man behind him to step back, Xu Tianran took a deep breath and continued:
"I meant no harm, please stop."
She looked down at him from Toji high position and said calmly:
" Xu Tianran, I originally thought we were partners who were sincere with each other."
"You sit on your throne, and I get what I need; it's a win-win situation."
But I don't like feeling threatened.
Toji took out the Blade of Life's Watch, toyed with it in his hand for a moment, then fixed his gaze on the old man behind Xu Tianran and licked his lips.
"You don't actually think I've never killed Titled Douluo, do you?"
"Or do you think that because you have Titled Douluo protecting you, I can't do anything to you?"
"Do you need me to verify this for you? I'll kill your bodyguard right in front of you, and then kill you with my own hands?"
The air inside the bedchamber seemed to solidify.
Xu Tianran's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the wheelchair, making a crisp tapping sound.
The old man behind him had a gloomy expression, his Martial Soul remained unleashed, but he dared not make any further rash moves.
"My dear partner," Xu Tianran suddenly smiled, a sickly blush rising on her pale face, "You misunderstand, I have always believed in your abilities, sir."
"Otherwise, sir would have been captured by Level 9 Soul Engineer long ago, instead of wandering around Mingdu like it's an amusement park."
"Sir's abilities are beyond doubt, Tianran trust him completely, so how could I possibly threaten him?"
Seeing Xu Tianran back down, Toji completely suppressed his imposing aura.
He knew Xu Tianran's nature well; if he gave in, it wouldn't be a true surrender. This man was incredibly cunning, practically a venomous snake.
If he sees an opportunity to kill you with a single blow, he will not hesitate to pounce on you and bite you to death.
If I didn't need Xu Tianran, why would I have let this dangerous person go?
"My status is naturally the same as yours, sir. However, Tianran am still very grateful that you came to see Tianran when I was Tianran." Xu Tianran forced a stiff smile, then said, "Your master said that if there is anyone I want to kill in the future, I should just contact you. After all, you are a professional."
"Coincidentally, Tianran now, there's someone I really want to kill. I wonder if you dare to accept the task?"
Toji also laughed, "The Third Prince?"
"Yes, it was him who plotted this assassination attempt, leaving me confined to a wheelchair, crippled in both legs, and without—"
Xu Tianran stopped abruptly at this point.
She almost revealed that she had lost her virility as a man.
This is so embarrassing, it absolutely cannot be exposed.
"In short, if I don't retaliate, many people will be dissatisfied with my position as crown prince."
"Therefore, I would like to ask a professional like you, sir, to help me kill all of the Third Prince's men, then cripple the Third Prince and bring him before me personally so that I can carry out the deed myself!"
As Xu Tianran spoke, he leaned forward involuntarily, his whole body trembling, and he was filled with rage while sitting in his wheelchair.
"Sure, I can certainly do it." Toji agreed and then extended her hand to Xu Tianran. "So, what will my reward be after I finish this?"
"Report, reward?" Xu Tianran was stunned.
Xu Tianran quickly realized he had lost his composure and tried to salvage the situation:
"What kind of compensation would you like, sir?"
"I don't ask for much. Killing the Third Prince... is a bit tricky. Just give me a Level 9 Soul Tool."
"I believe His Highness the Crown Prince is capable of producing it."
Xu Tianran narrowed his eyes slightly. "Sir, you have a good appetite, but you should know that Level 9 Soul Tool in our country are never exposed."
"No other country possesses a single Level 9 Soul Tool; only our country has them. Sir, your request is rather excessive."
"Then forget it. It seems His Highness is still reluctant." Toji turned and left without hesitation. "Transaction failed. Farewell."
