"Ah!"
The three's Martial Soul Fusion Skill instantly fell apart.
Screaming, the three flew out like kites with severed strings, crashing heavily onto the ground dozens of meters away.
Clack.
Each of Lion King's mechanical footsteps struck the ground.
Every step filled people's hearts with dread.
"Even the Golden Sacred Dragon, whose strike rivaled a Titled Douluo's, was defeated?"
"Not even the Golden Iron Triangle was his match!?"
"How strong is this man!?"
Watching the images transmitted through the Heavenly Screen.
Tang San, who was on the road, looked up. His expression instantly changed, his eyes turning utterly gloomy.
He clenched his fists. "Teacher! Damn that Underworld. Even its name sounds like nothing good. You hurt my teacher-you already have a death wish!"
In Tang San's heart, he had already listed this Lion King as his foremost enemy, second only to Spirit Hall.
Elsewhere.
Above Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong was looking up at the Heavenly Screen.
When she saw Yu Xiaogang's bedraggled figure coughing up blood.
She went mad. "Damn it! This Lion King actually dared to hurt Xiaogang!"
As she spoke.
Her long hair flew, and the expression on her entire face became terrifying.
"Teacher... are you all right?" Seeing her teacher crouched there with her arms wrapped around herself, her emotions unstable, Hu Liena wanted to step forward and show her concern.
After her emotions fluctuated for a long time.
Bibi Dong stood, her proud figure standing tall.
Her eyes widened. "I'm fine. From now on, list this Underworld faction as our foremost enemy. If you discover anyone from the Underworld, execute them directly, regardless of right or wrong!"
As she spoke, a vicious look appeared on her face.
"Uh... yes, Teacher."
Hu Liena looked utterly bewildered.
She had no idea why her teacher suddenly hated the people of the Underworld so much.
But when she recalled the Heavenly Screen's announcement that these people from the Underworld would become a future catastrophe for the Douluo Continent.
There was nothing unreasonable about her teacher taking them so seriously.
Heaven Dou Imperial City.
Lion King advanced step by step.
"Hand over the Xuanming Key."
Lion King said little.
His dark golden eyes swept over everyone.
Throughout the entire imperial city, the presences of powerful figures in every corner fell within his sight.
Three Titled Douluo.
However, power of this level was not enough to draw his attention.
"Sir, you may be overreaching if you wish to seize our Heaven Dou Empire's treasure."
Suddenly.
A figure enveloped in dark cyan Soul Power descended from the sky.
The Heaven Dou Empire's Douluo with a single-character title, Dugu Bo.
His long white hair streamed behind him, one hand held behind his back, his keen eyes like those of a venomous snake.
After slowly floating down from the sky and landing steadily.
He instantly drew the people's eyes.
"Nine Soul Rings? This man is a Titled Douluo!"
"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call Poison Douluo the Heaven Dou Empire's nation-protecting Douluo."
"With a Titled Douluo making a move, this Lion King should finally be outmatched, right?"
The images were transmitted to the Heavenly Screen.
Everyone began discussing them.
Sea God Island.
High Priestess Bo Saixi stood by the sea, staff in hand, looking up at the Heavenly Screen.
"Poison Douluo?"
"High Priestess, can this Poison Douluo defeat Lion King?"
The attendant Ou Ya beside her asked.
His eyes trembled. The strength Lion King had just displayed on the Heavenly Screen had shocked him.
"Lion King is strong, but a Titled Douluo's power cannot be underestimated either."
Bo Saixi spoke calmly.
In her view, this Lion King probably had not reached the level of a Titled Douluo.
Thus, there would be no suspense in this battle.
Besides...
Her limpid eyes settled on a corner of the Heavenly Screen's image.
There stood a refined-looking, middle-aged man dressed in blue.
Although this man's cultivation was only at the Soul Saint level.
An old man stood beside him.
This old man held both hands behind his back, his white hair cascading like a waterfall, his figure standing straight as a sword.
Sword Douluo, Chen Xin!
At the main battlefield shown on the Heavenly Screen.
Heaven Dou Imperial City.
Poison Douluo attacked.
"Since you wish to make an enemy of the Heaven Dou Empire, prepare yourself to be unable to retreat unscathed!"
"Fourth Soul Skill: Jade Phosphor Poison Swamp!"
Dugu Bo made his move.
Nine great Soul Rings instantly erupted around him: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!
His words had barely fallen.
A swamp filled with poisonous gas appeared beneath Lion King's feet, instantly enveloping them.
Spirit Hall.
As Dugu Bo's old friend, Yue Guan's eyes shone brightly. "Although this old poison master is no match for me, this Lion King clearly hasn't realized the danger of taking his poison barehanded!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan folded his arms across his chest, stroking his chin with interest as he watched the two fight on the Heavenly Screen.
"Sixth Soul Skill!"
Dugu Bo's attacks were ruthless and decisive.
Soul Skills flew from his hands one after another.
Lion King's movements were affected.
He crossed his arms, taking a defensive stance.
The surrounding city walls were knocked down, and thick mist obscured Lion King's figure.
"Was he defeated?"
"As expected of a Titled Douluo. His attacks really are fierce!"
"I thought he was so powerful, but Senior Poison Douluo ended the battle as soon as he attacked!"
As subjects of the Heaven Dou Empire.
They were naturally thrilled to see the Heaven Dou Empire's side win.
They had been affected by the Heavenly Screen's declaration that Hades's resurrection would bring catastrophe to the continent.
They desperately hoped for a victory to lift their spirits!
"Young Master, has the Heaven Dou Empire won?"
Inside the palace, Xue Qinghe watched the battle through the Heavenly Screen. Behind him stood Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo, who had not revealed their strength or identities.
Xue Qinghe said, "Let's go."
He had already assembled his men.
They were all imperial guards of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, each possessing formidable combat strength.
Roughly a thousand men, mobilized by him as the Heaven Dou Crown Prince, left the palace and arrived at the gate outside, surrounding the group of Underworld warriors with Lion King at their center.
"The Crown Prince has arrived with troops!"
"Wonderful! It's His Highness the Crown Prince! Our Heaven Dou Empire is saved."
"A mere hundred-odd vanguard troops want to stir up wind and rain in the Heaven Dou Empire? They're dreaming!"
Having just been sent flying by Lion King's kick, Yu Xiaogang stared at him with resentful eyes.
Seeing Crown Prince Xue Qinghe arrive with a large force, he felt someone was finally about to vent the anger in his heart for him!
Besides, two Titled Douluo were present to hold the fort!
"Who knows whether this Lion King is dead or alive!"
Yu Xiaogang spoke slowly.
Just as joy began to rise in his heart.
The next second.
The thick mist cleared.
A figure in dark golden armor stood steadily.
As he slowly stepped forward and emerged, the smile on Yu Xiaogang's face instantly froze. "Lion King! He can still stand!?"
"Could Poison Douluo's attack just now really have failed to knock him down?"
"That's impossible! An ordinary person couldn't possibly withstand a Titled Douluo's strike!"
Flender shook his head.
He knew that, with his strength, he was nothing but an ant before Dugu Bo.
Looking at the collapsed buildings all around, at the devastation.
Yet as Lion King slowly walked toward them, all he saw was armor without even a speck of dust on it.
His heart wavered.
"You thought an attack of that level could hurt the general? Foolish!"
