Chapter 276

Gu Xuan was called Prince by Gui Bao Douluo because after he married Xue Ke, the Snow Night Emperor gave him that title.

After all, Gu Xuan was his son-in-law, so granting him a title and fief was naturally necessary; as for the fief, Gu Xuan left it all to Ning Fengzhi to handle, and he basically never used the title of Prince.

Because for the past two years he has been in seclusion at the Binghuo Liangyi Yan, trying to break through to the ninetieth rank, so he has never had occasion to use it.

However, now that he has come to the imperial palace to suppress the rebellion, this title comes in handy; otherwise he wouldn't have come in person.

At this moment, Tuoba Yu listened to Gui Bao Douluo's words, his eyes slightly cold: "Gui Bao Elder, you were once the mainstay of the Spirit Hall, yet now you betray His Majesty—where is your shame?"

Hearing Tuoba Yu's words, the faces of Gui Bao Douluo and the others turned grim, and She Mao Douluo replied: "Tuoba, a person only has one life; if you stood in our position, you would do the same."

Tuoba Yu snorted coldly at She Mao Douluo's words: "His Majesty has treated me well; my achievements today are all thanks to His Majesty. Since you have chosen to betray His Majesty today, I will surely clean house for His Majesty!"

As Tuoba Yu spoke, his soul power surged, and nine soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—rose on his body; the overwhelming pressure of his ninety-first-rank peak soul power bore down directly on Gu Xuan.

At the same time, Tuoba Yu's figure exploded, and he charged straight at Gu Xuan.

He knew that to stop Gui Bao Douluo and the others, he first had to capture Gu Xuan, the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect and the prince consort of the the Heaven Dou Empire.

And Gu Xuan, seeing Tuoba Yu's performance, felt a slight sigh inside. This guy's strength isn't great, but he is indeed quite loyal.

Even facing the siege of four Titled Douluo, he still chose to make a desperate last stand rather than surrender.

But the four Gui Bao Douluo are now eager to prove their worth; where would they give Tuoba Yu a chance to get close to Gu Xuan?

"Impudent!" the four Gui Bao Douluo snorted coldly, and they all struck out at once.

Before Tuoba Yu could get within ten meters of Gu Xuan, he was directly repelled by the four Gui Bao Douluo.

The repelled Tuoba Yu knew the four Gui Bao Douluo were determined to betray, and his heart turned icy cold at once.

For His Majesty's plan he fears no death, but he is not the only Tuoba Yu here; most of the Holy Dragon Sect's fighting strength is gathered here, yet facing four Titled Douluo, they stand no chance.

But... what options does he have now? From the moment he just made a move, he has had no retreat.

He is no match for Gui Bao Douluo and the others, but if he can capture Gu Xuan or Du Gu Yan, there is still a sliver of hope!

And just then, a figure quickly came to Tuoba Hui's side, anxiously saying: "Tuoba Elder, something's wrong—outside the palace gate a large army has forced its way in, flying the flag of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect and shouting to purge the rebels!"

And Tuoba Yu, who was standing off against the four Gui Bao Douluo nearby, naturally heard this as well; at this point he could no longer hesitate.

And Gu Xuan, hearing Tuoba Hui's words, saw the smile on his face gradually fade; he naturally could not have brought just a few Titled Douluo here, otherwise how could he control the imperial palace?

At this point his own forces have already arrived; he only needs to capture Tuoba Yu and the others, and then the the Heaven Dou Empire will be his to command, after which he can use this as a base to sweep the continent and accomplish the great undertaking of unification!

Tuoba Yu's soul power surged within him, the black seventh soul ring on his body suddenly lit up, and his entire form transformed into a white-armored earth dragon over thirty meters in size.

"Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul True Body!"

Meanwhile, Tuoba Hui beside him also understood his sect master's intent; the Holy Dragon Sect is now united as one, seeing Tuoba Yu risk his life, they each unleashed their strongest soul skills, hoping to help Tuoba Yu gain a sliver of chance.

Although Tuoba Yu and Tuoba Hui had already made a move, among the more than twenty Soul Douluo present, aside from the three from the Holy Dragon Sect, the others dared not move at all.

They lacked the loyalty of the Holy Dragon Sect and had no resolve to die; even though the four Gui Bao Douluo Titled Douluo who came were already considered top-tier on the continent, this small group of them...

But they all knew that facing four Titled Douluo, their resistance would be a meaningless struggle, the end result being only death.

So they dared not move, because they wanted to live.

Seeing Tuoba Yu use Martial Soul True Body without the slightest hesitation, the four Gui Bao Douluo also instantly brought out their full strength; now is the time for them to display their power.

"Seventh Soul Skill: Gui Bao True Body!"

"Seventh Soul Skill: She Mao True Body!"

"Seventh Soul Skill: Ci Tun True Body!"

"Seventh Soul Skill: Ling Yuan True Body!"

The four Gui Bao Douluo simultaneously unleashed their seventh soul skills; accompanying the release of their Martial Soul True Bodies, the terrifying pressure actually shook back those Holy Dragon Sect disciples who tried to stop them.

And Tuoba Yu, under the pressure of the four's Martial Soul True Bodies, was forced to retreat, even directly smashing a large part of the Snow Night Emperor's residence behind him!

The repelled Tuoba Yu didn't pause at all, directly unleashing his eighth soul skill.

"Eighth Soul Skill: Holy Dragon Flame!"

Terrifying energy fluctuations condensed in the mouth of the white-armored earth dragon, and the four Gui Bao Douluo also held nothing back; now Tuoba Yu no longer cares about life or death—only by destroying him can peace be restored.

Gui Bao Douluo: "Ninth Soul Skill: Void Shadow!"

She Mao Douluo: "Eighth Soul Skill: Thunderous Might!"

Ci Tun Douluo: "Eighth Soul Skill: Corrosive Toxic Spike!"

Ling Yuan Douluo: "Eighth Soul Skill: Boiling Hot Blood!"

Gui Bao, She Mao, and Ci Tun's soul skills all locked onto Tuoba Yu, while Ling Yuan Douluo's soul skill swept downward to engulf the Holy Dragon Sect disciples below.

"Ah!!"

A full-force strike from three Titled Douluo struck Tuoba Yu; he merely let out a mournful cry before being completely worn away by their attacks, his Martial Soul True Body shattering outright, his whole body going limp like a dead dog on the ground, his eyes full of unwillingness and resentment.

He was unwilling to see his plan about to succeed, resentful that Gui Bao Douluo and the others had actually betrayed the Spirit Hall and His Majesty.

Besides Tuoba Yu, the Holy Dragon Sect disciples had already fallen into a sea of fire, crying out in anguish.

"It's so hot! I'm burning up! Ahhh!"

"No……"

Gu Xuan, hovering in midair, looked on impassively, his heart unmoved, for this world is just so cruel; to achieve certain ends, one must inevitably infringe on others' interests, and the final outcome is nothing more than you die or I die.

Looking down at the Holy Dragon Sect disciples in the sea of fire below and the dozen or so former Spirit Hall Soul Douluo who dared not even breathe nearby, plus the soldiers who had rushed from all sides to reinforce Tuoba Yu and the others, Gu Xuan proclaimed loudly:

"I, the Prince, am here—those who rebel against superiors, those who plot to seize power, those who act contrary to reason, shall all die!"

"Everyone, considering you have been deceived by others, those who lay down their weapons will live, those who resist………will die!"

At this moment, Gu Xuan's domineering aura fully manifested, his whole person appearing so radiant and brilliant; Du Gu Yan beside him looked at Gu Xuan with eyes full of little stars, having an urge to stuff Gu Xuan inside!

As for the people below, aside from the loyalists of the Holy Dragon Sect or Bi Bi Dong, they all put down their weapons, and those more than ten Soul Douluo directly squatted on the spot, not daring to have the slightest thought of resistance!

You're joking, the Holy Dragon Douluo who rose in resistance is now lying in a pool of blood; what waves could a dozen or so Soul Douluo possibly raise?

Those are four Titled Douluo! Not four cabbages!
