Today, he had to test it himself, no matter what.
The angelic phantom behind Qian Renfeng began to grow more solid. One by one, spirit rings appeared on the figure's body.
The colors of these rings matched exactly the ones on Qian Renfeng's own body.
In other words—
These were his spirit rings!
One of the red spirit rings began to flicker.
This was the first time Qian Renfeng had ever used his ninth spirit ability.
Even Qian Daoliu had never witnessed this skill before!
The blood-red spirit ring looked like it was made perfectly for the flaming Seraphim—the power between them fused seamlessly.
"Ninth Spirit Ability — Descent of the Angel!"
Behind Qian Renfeng, an overwhelming surge of divine energy erupted.
Golden light flooded the entire room.
A boundless divine pressure descended in front of Qian Renfeng, as though the Angel God Himself had appeared behind him!
The phantom's eyes no longer glowed with simple golden light…
Instead, a pair of deep, piercing, divine eyes had formed.
One hand of the phantom lifted Qian Renfeng gently, while the other gripped a massive golden sword, swinging it straight down toward Bibi Dong!
Bibi Dong's face turned pale with fear—she immediately darted behind Ghost Douluo.
Another spirit skill was quietly activated:
"Seventh Spirit Ability — Martial Soul True Body!"
"Eighth Spirit Ability — Spider Empress Clone!"
Then, she quickly flew toward the palace gates, her back sprouting six purple, translucent wings like cicada wings.
"External Soul Bone: Six-Winged Violet Radiant Wings!"
At this point, Bibi Dong had used every single life-saving ability she had.
All of them—just to escape!
Ghost Douluo didn't even have time to turn his head.
The sacred sword from the angelic phantom descended directly in front of him.
A burst of god-level energy exploded outward.
Holy power engulfed everything before it, purifying all darkness and evil in its path.
This wasn't the true power of the Angel God…
But the might released was absolutely of divine caliber!
At the very least, it matched the power level of a Divine Officer (神官).
There was no way the Angel God would descend personally—the Shura God was constantly watching over Qian Renfeng.
This was merely a borrowed portion of divine energy.
Even so, this power was more than enough for Qian Renfeng to sweep through every top-tier opponent on the continent.
Divine Officer-level strength—just one step away from a third-rank god.
As long as the few remaining hidden deities didn't awaken, there was no one left who could stop Qian Renfeng!
Bibi Dong cherished her life.
Despite having nearly stepped into the realm of a half-god, she only narrowly escaped with her life after exhausting every escape technique she had.
Still, she did not escape unscathed.
If a level-95 Titled Douluo hadn't taken the hit for her and absorbed part of the damage from the angel's divine strike...
Even with all her life-saving tricks, she would've died on the spot.
Qian Renfeng sighed.
This power was simply too strong!
It was also his first time using it, so he hadn't been able to control it well.
But next time, if he encountered Bibi Dong again—
He had absolute confidence he could kill her!
After all...
"There can't be a second time!"
The commotion from the Crown Prince's East Palace was immense.
Countless palace guards were already rushing in.
Qian Renfeng dispelled the angelic phantom and collapsed into Qian Renxue's arms, speaking weakly:
"Sister… I'll leave the rest to you."
Qian Renxue felt a stab of pain seeing him like that.
"Alright. Leave the rest to me."
"Your sister will handle everything."
Then, she turned to Stinghog Douluo and asked:
"Elder, how many people can you take out at once?"
Stinghog Douluo replied without hesitation:
"Under normal conditions, I can take two or three people without any problem."
"But right now, countless guards are swarming this area.
Not to mention taking people out—I can barely get myself out!"
"If I'm discovered, I may have to fight my way out."
In other words, he couldn't even guarantee his safe exit, let alone anyone else's.
It would be nearly impossible to leave without blowing their cover.
Qian Renxue paused, then handed him a command token.
"Elder, please do your best to get Chrysanthemum Douluo out of here."
"If it becomes impossible, then make your own decision.
Even if my identity is exposed, it doesn't matter."
"You all are the hope of the Spirit Hall.
You're the pillars that allow it to stand tall in this world!"
Stinghog Douluo shook his head.
"Why not let me take Second Young Master out instead?"
"I'm just an old man. My strength is fading."
"If you're willing, I'll risk my life to get him out—at least give Spirit Hall a glimmer of hope!"
But Qian Renxue remained calm and shook her head:
"Xiaofeng is often seen at my side. I'm sure Emperor Xue Ye already knows."
"But your strength, and the presence of an unconscious Chrysanthemum Douluo—those are things he can't explain away."
"I want to take a gamble."
"I refuse to let over ten years of planning go to waste!"
Stinghog Douluo wanted to keep persuading her, but the guards of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace were getting closer and closer!
With no time left, he gritted his teeth, picked up Chrysanthemum Douluo, and flew out of the palace.
Qian Renfeng lay in Qian Renxue's arms, savoring the soft warmth.
At this moment, he didn't seem as badly injured as he appeared.
He was merely exhausted.
If forced to fight again, he could still do it.
However—
He wouldn't be able to summon power equivalent to above level 95 again anytime soon.
After all—
Divine power always comes with a price.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The doors to the Crown Prince's East Palace were suddenly knocked on.
A cautious, worried male voice came from outside.
"Your Highness, are you alright?!"
"We just saw a strange light coming from your residence—was it… were you cultivating?"
Qian Renxue immediately activated her disguise, responding before they could act.
"Cultivating?!"
"Cultivating your damn head!"
"You didn't even notice an assassin?! Who exactly are you supposed to be protecting?!"
A furious roar rang out from within the room, in the voice of "Xue Qinghe."
The commander of the palace guards had been about to push open the door, but froze in place.
"Are you injured, Your Highness? Do you need assistance?!"
His voice trembled. If anything happened to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, all of them would be executed—along with their families!
"Xue Qinghe's" voice eased up a bit:
"Of course I'm injured!
Go summon the royal physicians at once!
If anything happens to this prince, your entire clan will be wiped out!"
Having lived in the palace for years, "Xue Qinghe" knew exactly what these people feared.
Only by grasping the weakness in their hearts could this crisis be safely navigated.
"Xue Qinghe" didn't choose to hide or refuse to open the door.
Instead, she opened it herself, letting people in!
However, she would never allow everyone to enter.
If even one powerful figure came in, they could easily discover Qian Renfeng hiding under the bed.
That's why "Xue Qinghe" took the initiative and called only for the royal physicians.
They were the only ones suitable to enter the East Palace at this moment.
