Chapter 1217: They were just a bunch of petty scoundrels?
"Attack! Take Lingyuan Palace!"
Riding his male demon horse, Xue Kui led his troops in a charge, under the cover of two titled Douluo.
Along the way, everything that stood in Xue Kui's way was smashed.
Some eunuchs and maids who did not have time to escape became victims of Xue Kui's army or spoils of war for the military thugs.
Xue Kui looked at the magnificent Lingyuan Palace, where the imperial throne he had always dreamed of was located.
There was a time when he could only watch others sit there, pontificating about the state of the country.
Now, this throne should be his!
"Black stick, white stick! Push open the palace doors for me!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The Black Stick and the White Stick are two of the three Title Douluos whom Xue Kui recruited at great expense; both of them possess staff-type weapons as their martial souls.
The two of them each unleashed a burst of soul power, blasting open the half-covered door and revealing the situation inside the Spirit Origin Hall.
The ancient and magnificent hall was empty, and the imperial throne seemed within easy reach.
When Xue Kui saw the imperial throne with his own eyes, the fiery light in his eyes seemed to burst forth. Heaven and earth, the imperial palace, all he saw was that imperial throne.
"Hahaha! The throne of the Great Emperor! It belongs to me!"
However, at that very moment, a young man in white suddenly appeared in Xue Kui's field of vision.
Upon seeing an obstacle suddenly appear in his path, Xue Kui, in a frenzy, didn't bother to think things through and began charging his soul-guided greatsword.
"Boy! Get out of my way! Don't block my path!"
However, the two titled Douluo, Black Stick and White Stick, who were Xue Kui's left and right protectors, suddenly realized that something was wrong!
How did this person appear?
Why couldn't I find anything when I scanned my senses earlier?
He didn't even catch the moment the young man appeared!
"A formidable foe!"
The same thought flashed through the minds of both the Black Stick and White Stick titled Douluo.
They moved quickly. The black stick struck, smashing Ye Nanxiao with it, while the white stick caught up with Xue Kui, scooped him up, and pulled him back.
Before Xue Kui could figure out what was happening, the scenery before his eyes was rapidly receding, and he was getting further and further away from the imperial throne.
"What the hell! Let me go! Don't stop me from ascending the throne!"
Xue Kui shouted wildly, even flailing his hands and feet like a child, and even unleashed his martial spirit.
However, the Snow Leaf Lotus Martial Soul was useless in front of the White Stick Title Douluo.
In Ye Nanxiao's eyes, the Black Stick Title Douluo's attack was soft and powerless.
He simply extended two fingers and pinched the black stick that exuded a menacing aura.
"That's impossible!"
Black Stick Title Douluo's eyes widened. He clearly sensed only Soul Douluo-level soul power activity from Ye Nanxiao!
However, the next moment, when he met Ye Nanxiao's gray eyes, which were devoid of any emotion, he suddenly realized that the person in front of him was the kind of person that the underground forces of various countries considered untouchable.
He had been blinded by those eyes and hadn't recognized Ye Nanxiao immediately!
"Show your soul!"
Ye Nanxiao spoke slowly, each word resonating like a great bell in the minds of these rebels.
Faced with Ye Nanxiao's terrifying mental power and soul magic, Black Stick Douluo was the first to be hit. He felt a darkness before his eyes, and then his brain felt as if it had been smashed into pieces by a sledgehammer.
The intense mental shock left him in a state of mental blankness.
There wasn't even time to use soul skills for defense.
"Soul-Shaking Bell! Activate!"
A large, azure-blue bell appeared out of thin air, swallowed Black Stick Douluo whole, and landed on the ground without making a sound.
"Soul Shatter!"
Ye Nanxiao struck the Soul-Shaking Bell with his palm, and in an instant, the Soul-Shaking Bell began to tremble rapidly, and some subtle sounds came from within it.
"Not good! Old Black!" White Soul Douluo used several mentally unstable soldiers as human cushions, threw Xue Kui in his hand over, and then charged towards Ye Nanxiao.
"Lion King! Attack together!"
"good!"
A lion's roar suddenly came from outside the main hall.
Ye Nanxiao stomped his right foot on the ground, and a large patch of frost spread rapidly, freezing the group of delirious rebels. Then he slashed out with his sword.
"You little lion! How dare you open your mouth in front of me!"
Frosty blades, heavy snowfall.
An avalanche appeared out of nowhere in front of White Stick Douluo and instantly engulfed him.
That white stick, capable of supporting a thousand pounds of force, lost its power to move a thousand pounds in the face of the seemingly soft yet hard frost and snow.
The titled Douluo, who called himself the Lion King, also showed a solemn expression when he saw his soul skill being devoured.
He quickly drew a long whip and pulled Xue Kui, who had escaped the ice by clinging to several soldiers, away.
Nine spirit rings shone behind Ye Nanxiao, and the Azure Flower on his head had not yet bloomed.
He thought that Xue Kui had been planning for so many years and had found some experts.
So they were just a bunch of petty scoundrels?
"Lord Ye Nanxiao! How about making a deal with our Prince! Once the Prince ascends the throne, you will be granted the title of a First-Rank Marquis! You can choose your own fiefdom! You will become a Guardian Douluo! Everything the Douling Empire has, you can take!"
The Lion King isn't stupid; the Black Stick Douluo has already been suppressed, and whether he's still alive is a question.
White Stick Douluo was also swallowed up in one move.
This shows that Ye Nanxiao's strength is terrifying!
Even though he himself had cultivated his skills through proper means and possessed a solid foundation, he still found it difficult to fight against Ye Nanxiao.
The omnipresent extreme cold had already pierced through the fur on the surface of his body. If he hadn't used all his soul power, he would have suffered the fate of the extreme cold invading his body and freezing his blood and qi!
However, the Lion King believed that Ye Nanxiao's assistance must have been due to some benefit promised to him by Xue Lingxun.
If Xue Kui can be bribed, then he can be bribed too!
This is the Lion King's purpose.
"Sounds like a good offer," Ye Nanxiao said, his first words.
Upon hearing this, the Lion King was overjoyed. Sure enough, Xue Lingxun had bribed Ye Nanxiao at a great cost!
Once Xue Kui sits on the throne and gathers the power of the entire empire, what can't he give to Ye Nanxiao?
"Your Excellency is truly insightful! My lord has managed to gather all the rare treasures of the entire Douling Empire! Anything that catches your eye is yours!" the Lion King immediately added.
Once Xue Kui ascends to the throne, Lion King will be able to become the Guardian Douluo. At that time, the deal with Ye Nanxiao will only be a headache for Xue Kui, and will have nothing to do with Lion King.
"Your soul is not bad, I will accept it, but I will spare Xue Kui's life." Ye Nanxiao's eyes shone brightly, and an ancient tower exuding a majestic aura appeared above him.
Two beams of light fell from the ancient tower, landing behind the Lion King.
The moment Ye Nanxiao finished speaking, the Lion King abandoned Xue Kui and charged towards the main hall door.
The latest novel is first published here!
Ye Nanxiao, who could subdue both Black Stick and White Stick fighters in just a few moves and whose various methods were unknown, was someone Lion King neither wanted nor dared to touch.
His soul power cultivation was two levels higher than that of the Black Stick and White Stick, but he was only at level ninety-three.
"Trying to catch me, you little brat? You're too green!"
In order to escape, the Lion King even ignited his soul power.
However, the two beams of light fell in front of him and transformed into two figures dressed in long robes.
"Seventh Master, Eighth Master! Give me a hand!"
The White Impermanence threw out the chains in his hand, aiming directly at the Lion King.
The Lion King had read the intelligence about Ye Nanxiao and knew that he was a powerful and resourceful enemy.
Without hesitation, he immediately unleashed his Martial Soul True Form.
A black lion, over four meters tall with its head reaching the ceiling of the main hall, appeared.
As the Lion King unleashed his Martial Soul True Form, Black Impermanence, who had been standing in the background, began to throw out his scythe and chain.
The Black and White Impermanence wielded their chains together, conjuring countless chains that tightly bound the Lion King's body.
When the lock touched the Lion King's body, it immediately ignited a gray mist.
The lion king's beastly eyes widened immediately, bulging out, and its foul-smelling maw opened wide, its tongue trembling slightly, as if it were enduring great pain.
His physical strength, which he was so proud of, did not help him at all.
The pain, so intense it struck his very soul, made him forget to even scream for a moment.
He couldn't see Ye Nanxiao; he only saw a hellish scene.
And he was the one who was dealt with.
Ye Nanxiao changed his hand seals again, and two more beams of light flew out from the Soul Suppressing Tower, transforming into Ox-Head and Horse-Face.
The bull enlarged the steel fork in its hand, aimed it at the lion king's neck, and thrust it in forcefully.
Horse-faced ran, his hooked sickle aimed at the lion king's limbs.
"Soul Stealing!"
Ye Nanxiao raised his hand and aimed it at the Lion King, the Azure Flower on his head slowly blooming.
The properties of the Azure Flower slightly enhance those of Soul Magic.
The Lion King strained to turn its protruding beastly eyes and look at Ye Nanxiao. The information clearly stated that Ye Nanxiao was skilled in ice-attribute abilities.
What kind of soul-crushing method is this?!
Could Ye Nanxiao also be a member of the Holy Spirit Cult?!
However, the Lion King was destined never to know the answer.
Ye Nanxiao conjured a longsword in his hand, radiating a hazy light. Gray and pink light intertwined on the sword, creating a brilliance that appeared soft and beautiful yet exuded a terrifying aura.
"Imperial Sword, Lotus Flower".
Ye Nanxiao held the lotus flower in his hand and gently slashed out.
A sword light, like a pillar supporting the sky, slowly engulfed the lion king's massive body.
The radiance drew upon the Lion King's soul, transforming it into a gray sphere of light that slowly floated up to the Soul Suppressing Tower before being absorbed by it.
Having received the soul energy of another Title Douluo, the pattern on the Soul Suppressing Tower lit up for a moment, and then the tower grew two sizes larger.
The Lion King's soul vanished, and the three-meter-tall lion slowly disappeared, transforming into a lifeless corpse lying on the ground.
Black Stick Douluo's soul was also shattered by the Soul-Shaking Bell.
Although White Soul Douluo was frozen, his consciousness remained. He watched helplessly as the Lion King was defeated, and in an instant, his heart turned to ashes.
No wonder there are no guards in the palace; with this guy around, there's no need for guards at all.
Their long-cherished dream was shattered in this moment.
Xue Kui remained unconscious, being carried by Ye Nanxiao and hung on the main hall door, his hands and feet bound.
"It's time to wake up from this pipe dream."
Ye Nanxiao slapped Xue Kui across the face. (End of Chapter)
