The royal household members behind Xue Xing fell to their knees upon hearing that there were two Hyper Douluo present, whose ranks were even higher than those assigned to protect Xue Xing...
They didn't want to know who Xue Qinghe was now, they just wanted to beg him to spare their lives.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, we were blind just now, please spare us"
"Yes, yes, we were only misled by Xue Xing's deceit and opposed you. From now on, we will follow your lead without question, please let us live!"
"As long as Your Highness the Crown Prince spares us, we will wholeheartedly support your succession to the throne!"
Seeing the royal household members behind him turn their backs so quickly, Xue Xing's face turned deathly pale...
Then, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes. His expression changed, he looked obsequiously at Xue Qinghe, and immediately bowed, saying, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, I was just joking earlier. Now it seems that you are truly the best choice to rule over the Tiandou Empire."
The swiftness of this change in attitude rendered Du Gu Bo silent...
It seemed he was truly wrong; Xue Xing and the members of the royal household behind him were cut from the same cloth!
Now, let alone assassinating Xue Qinghe, whether they could leave this place alive was a big question.
There wasn't a trace of pity in Xue Qinghe's eyes. If it weren't for the protection of Porcupine and Serpent Spear, two Hyper Douluo, his fate would have been even worse today!
So, he said coldly, "Prince Xue Xing, you know too much. Only the dead can keep secrets."
With that, beneath the feet of Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo, nine soul rings slowly rose: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, black.
"Run! Run for it!"
"This Crown Prince is a devil! A devil!"
While the previously cringing Xue Beng inwardly thought, "At this rate, they will never be able to leave alive!"
Porcupine Douluo scoffed, his third soul skill lighting up beneath his feet, "Run? Third soul skill, Giant Destruction Bullet."
Suddenly, behind him, his Porcupine Martial Spirit's sharp beak slowly opened, then leisurely expelled an attack that resembled a clear water bullet, hitting the royal household members who were trying to escape.
The bullet "whooshed" out, exploding in the Imperial Palace Great Hall and forming a huge shock wave...
Every royal household member caught in the blast fell to the ground in agony...
This attack was clearly not a physical one, but a spiritual attack! It easily shattered the spiritual power of those with lesser soul power...
Porcupine Douluo licked his thin lips, glancing sideways at Serpent Spear, he said suavely, "It's been a long time since I shattered someone's spiritual power, quite refreshing. Serpent Spear, don't you want to try a few?"
Serpent Spear Douluo couldn't help but roll his eyes, unable to stand Porcupine's twisted humor, "No thanks, you enjoy yourself. I'm actually quite interested in Du Gu Bo!"
With that, he looked toward Du Gu Bo with intense murderous intent...
"Du Gu Bo, what do we do now? What do we do?"
Seeing the royal household members dropping like flies, Xue Xing anxiously looked at Du Gu Bo, "Du Gu Bo, what should we do now? What should we do now?"
Du Gu Bo was his last lifeline!
He, Xue Xing, did not want to die! Not at all!!!
Ripples passed through Du Gu Bo's dark green eyes...
Forget it, since this man had once saved his life, even if it made him lose face, he should repay this debt if he could save him!
Staring at both Porcupine and Serpent Spear, Du Gu Bo spoke hoarsely, "Porcupine, Serpent Spear, I know I may not be as strong as either of you, but I do have a way to doom everyone in the Tiandou Empire! At that point, even if you control the Tiandou Empire, what good will it do you?"
"Du Gu Bo! You... how despicable you are now!"
"Du Gu Bo, I didn't expect you would stoop to bargaining with the lives of so many people today, how ironic!"
They both knew that Du Gu Bo excelled in using poison, especially his ninth soul skill!!
```
If they didn't manage to kill with one strike, that soul skill, once unleashed, would inflict a catastrophic disaster upon the entire Tiandou Empire!
Then the effort they had put into hiding within the Tiandou Empire for so many years would have been in vain!
Seeing Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo both hesitating, Du Gu Bo didn't rush to urge them...
The indecisive Citun and Serpent Spear turned toward Xue Qinghe beside them and respectfully said, "Holy Daughter, what do you think?"
Hulena and Qian Renxue were both known as goddess of the Martial Soul Hall, but most people within the hall only knew of the former...
Xue Qinghe frowned. If he let them leave, his identity as a member of the Martial Soul Hall would definitely be exposed, and ruling the Tiandou Empire completely would be difficult.
However, if he insisted on weeding them out completely, it could result in those many years of effort being wasted...
Any choice would incur immeasurable losses...
Seeing a glimmer of hope to survive, Xue Xing excitedly looked at Du Gu Bo and said, "Phew... Du Gu Bo, well done! After this, we will be even!"
A flash of disgust flickered in Du Gu Bo's eyes before he indifferently replied, "Hmm."
After much deliberation, Xue Qinghe stared at Du Gu Bo and coldly said, "Du Gu Bo, you may leave today, but this guy beside you must stay!"
...
Xu Sheng, who had been hiding in the surroundings, slowly walked in and spoke indifferently, "I think... it would be better to keep both of them!"
Outside the imperial palace, Hulena clenched her fists upon seeing Xu Sheng walking in, "Damn! Why did Xu Sheng go in alone?"
A flicker of understanding passed through Evil Moon's eyes, "There are Title Douluo powerhouses inside, it should be for our own good."
Xu Sheng must have been worried about them getting injured in the fight between Title Douluo...
...
Seated on the throne, Xue Qinghe, upon seeing this familiar figure, felt a hint of joy in his heart, "Xu Sheng? Why would he come here?"
The Citun and Serpent Spear beside him, sensing the terrifying aura emitted by Xu Sheng, moved a few steps closer to Xue Qinghe...
They became serious, "Who is this man? The fluctuations of his soul power are so terrifying!!"
At the very least, he was on par with them as a Hyper Douluo!!
Only Xue Xing watched Xu Sheng enter with dissatisfaction, "Kid, are you looking for death?"
To think about keeping them both, did this guy think he was strong? You've got to be kidding!
The dark green in Du Gu Bo's eyes brightened as he pondered, "This guy is also from Martial Soul Hall! Seems like there will be trouble today..."
Although he was not clear about Xu Sheng's strength, Du Gu Bo also knew he was a Titled Douluo! The situation they were facing was three against one, so one could imagine the pressure he was under!
Especially when he had to protect the "trash" next to him.
Xu Sheng smiled and took a step forward, "Du Gu Bo, you want to take countless souls of Tiandou Empire with you? I'll give you five seconds!"
The next second, nine crimson hundred-thousand-year soul rings suddenly rose under his feet!
These eerie red glows made Xu Sheng's surroundings seem like a high-pressure area, constantly emanating a terrifying force!
Citun and Serpent Spear immediately shielded Xue Qinghe, desperately unleashing their own soul power to fend off this fearsome pressure...
Du Gu Bo's pupils dilated, and he too was not spared. His entire body flew backward powerless, several meters away, crashing to the ground...
As for the previously weak Xue Xing, his face was streaked with deep fear as he was crushed into a blood fog under this overwhelming pressure!
