"grandfather!"
Tuoba Yan rose to greet him.
Tuoba Xi's gaze swept over Shui Ruohan and the other two, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Just then, a booming sound came from afar.
A burst of fire shot into the sky above Tiandou City.
"That's Sister Lingyuan's aura?!"
Tuoba Yan was taken aback. He could tell from the fluctuations of soul power coming from afar that the one fighting was Ling Yuan Douluo.
Tuoba Yan exchanged glances with the people around him, then leaped from the courtyard onto the roof with a light tap of his toes. He then headed towards the scene of the incident.
Midway through the battle, a giant gorilla, over fifty meters tall, appeared on the battlefield.
The gorilla was like a giant, and the power contained within its body caused ripples to spread through the space. On the ground beneath its feet, many houses collapsed due to the fluctuations in power.
"Hercules!"
Shui Ruohan blurted out.
The Mighty Ape is the inherited martial spirit of the Power Clan. Extremely few members of the Power Clan have cultivated to the Soul Saint realm.
Judging from the energy fluctuations emanating from the enormous, mountain-like gorilla in front, it can be determined that Hercules Tai Tan is using his Martial Soul True Form.
"Chirp!"
A soul-piercing cry of an eagle rang out.
The Lingyuan Douluo, hovering in the sky, transformed into an eagle-like soul beast engulfed in purplish-red flames.
"Spiritual Iris Douluo, how could I be afraid of you?"
As Tai Tan finished speaking, his eighth spirit ring shone brightly beneath his feet.
"Eighth Soul Skill: Tai Tan Shattering Star Hammer"
The mighty gorilla swung its fist, shaking the very fabric of space. Rows of shops on the ground collapsed from the shockwave.
At the same time, the eighth spirit ring under Lingyuan Douluo's feet lit up.
"Eighth Soul Skill: Blood Boiling".
"Blood Boiling" is a skill that releases attacks with extremely high temperatures. It does not extinguish when it comes into contact with water; instead, it will instantly boil the water. It is a ranged area-of-effect attack skill and also has a burning effect.
It has two attack methods: the first is to scatter a large number of feathers in the sky, which will turn into flames as they fall, and then control these flaming feathers to fall, which will instantly burn upon contact with objects.
The second attack method involves activating the skill, causing flames to first appear in the user's eyes, followed by a large fire energy array behind them. Then, by waving their hand forward, the fire energy array will fire a large number of fire arrows to attack.
At this moment, the Lingyuan Douluo in the sky was using the second attack method.
However, it was different. The numerous fire arrows launched by the purplish-red flame energy array, as they flew through the air, converged into a giant fire arrow that was tens of meters long as Ling Yuan's jade hand closed.
The fist and the arrow collided, producing a deafening sound.
"Bang!"
The mighty gorilla staggered backward and collapsed to the ground with a thud. He coughed up blood.
Ling Yuan looked down at the injured Tai Tan and said, "The Hercules, who was said to be able to fight against ordinary Title Douluos, is nothing special after all!"
With a wave of his hand, a fiery energy array appeared above the Great Ape's head.
"Spare his life!"
Ling Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and glanced disdainfully at Ning Fengzhi, who had arrived at the scene.
Tai Tan looked at his right hand. It hurt, as if it had been branded with a hot iron.
One move.
After activating his Martial Soul True Form, Hercules Tai Tan, who was said to be able to fight against ordinary Title Douluo, was defeated by Ling Yuan, an ordinary Title Douluo, in one move.
Of course, Ling Yuan Douluo's soul power level is level ninety-three. Soul power between ninety-one and ninety-five is considered ordinary titled Douluo.
Titled Douluo above level 96 are called Peak Douluo.
Although Ling Yuan's soul power level was only at the level of an ordinary Title Douluo, she received a fairy herb from Tuoba Yan, which caused her flames to undergo a breakthrough evolution, changing from the original red to purplish-red.
What changes in this is the temperature of the flame.
The temperature of the flames catalyzed by Lingyuan's soul power is now terrifying.
Tai Tan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up from the ground. His eyes were filled with fear as he looked up at the countless fiery arrows overhead that seemed poised to destroy the city.
"defense!"
"defense!"
"defense!"
The Power Clan was thrown into chaos.
Just then, a voice capable of tearing one's soul apart rang out.
Did I give you permission to touch him?
The person who jumped out was an old man.
He wore an immaculate white robe, his hair and beard were all white, and his long silver hair was neatly combed down his back.
He had a simple and unadorned appearance, with a face as delicate as a baby's. His expression was indifferent, and his eyes seemed to be unable to see anything around him. He simply stood there quietly without saying a word.
But even just standing there, he still gave people the feeling that he was the only one who mattered in the world.
"All swords return to their origin!"
Chen Xin summoned his martial spirit, unleashing ten thousand swords that clashed against the fiery arrows.
"The Way of the Sword, the Heart of Dust!"
Ling Yuan frowned slightly, her eyes showing some apprehension.
Sword Dao Chen Xin, at level 96, is a peak Douluo.
Ling Yuan weighed the gap between herself and Chen Xin in her heart. Soul power was an insurmountable chasm for her, while Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword, a martial soul of swordsmanship, was a top-grade martial soul. It possessed the attribute that Tuoba Yan called the ultimate metal.
There are only a handful of people in Tiandou City that Ling Yuan fears. Unfortunately, Chen Xin is one of them.
The fiery arrows that rained down from the sky were all intercepted by Chen Xin's myriad swords. The members of the Power Clan were relieved.
Ling Yuan spread her arms upwards and instantly released a Fiery Lingyuan, about five meters in size, formed from flames, from behind her.
The Fiery Lingyuan transformed into a streak of purplish-red light, hurtling towards Ning Fengzhi, who was standing on the rooftop, at an extremely fast speed.
"Um?"
Sword Dao Chen Xin frowned slightly, a fierce glint in his eyes. He flew towards Ning Fengzhi.
"His murderous intent is palpable!"
A Seven Kill Sword formed from energy intercepted the Fiery Lingyuan.
However, at this moment, Ling Yuan quickly used her eighth soul skill, and ten thousand rays of fire descended from the sky once again.
Within a few breaths, screams echoed from the ground as the Power Clan was engulfed in flames.
Ning Fengzhi was taken aback and whispered, "Attack where the enemy is bound to defend!"
Ling Yuan didn't really mean to hurt Ning Fengzhi just now. Instead, she attacked Ning Fengzhi, whom Sword Daochenxin would definitely save, in order to gain the opportunity to use her eighth soul skill to severely injure the Li clan.
Chen Xin suddenly realized that a strange anger had risen within him; he had been used.
A surge of soul power erupted from Chen Xin's body.
On the ground, Tuoba Xi frowned slightly, secretly feeling troubled by Chen Xin, and asked the Lingyuan in the sky, "Your Majesty, what is the reason for your attack on the Power Clan?"
Chen Xin is no ordinary person. He is a Title Douluo. If he were to truly become enraged and kill, only a handful of Title Douluos in the Spirit Hall could fight him one-on-one.
Tuoba Xi couldn't understand why Ling Yuan, who had always disliked bullying the weak, would attack Hercules Tai Tan, whose Soul Master level was lower than his.
That's not the point.
The key point is that she completely disregarded her status and launched a military attack in Tiandou City, the capital of the Tiandou Empire.
If not handled carefully, it could very well escalate the conflict between the Spirit Hall and the Tiandou Royal Family.
Ling Yuan glanced at Tuoba Yan on the ground and replied, "That old gorilla took advantage of my absence to send his son to assassinate the person I was ordered to protect. He treats me like I don't exist. Tell me, shouldn't he and the Power Clan be punished?"
