At this moment, Qian Renxue couldn't help but secretly feel relieved. Fortunately, to be cautious, she had her grandfather send two more powerful reinforcements. Otherwise, if their high-end combat force only consisted of She Long and Ci Xue, tonight would have been a guaranteed loss.
As soon as her voice fell, four figures soared into the sky behind the rebel army.
These four figures were all surrounded by nine soul rings. Two of them had weaker auras, with their soul ring configurations being: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, black.
The other two were in the appearance of a youth and a teenager, with much stronger auras, and their soul ring configurations were: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black.
"Spirit Hall worshippers?"
Automatically ignoring the two weaker Title Douluo with inferior soul ring configurations, Chen Xin solemnly asked the remaining two blue-haired youth and silver-haired teenager, whose auras were far more powerful.
Judging solely by their aura, these two were extremely strong. The silver-haired was no weaker than himself—he was a level 96 Title Douluo.
And the blue-haired aura even surpassed his own. He was likely a level 97 Title Douluo.
Since Xue Qinghe had colluded with Spirit Hall, and these two possessed such strength, they were undoubtedly worship elders of Spirit Hall.
"Chen Xin of the Sword, Gu Rong of the Bone, the two of us shall face you."
Exchanging a glance with the Glowing feather Douluo at his side, the Azure Luan Douluo said proudly as he looked toward Chen Xin and Gu Rong.
Although Azure Luan Douluo was proud, he did not underestimate them.
Even though the level 96 Chen Xin and level 95 Gu Rong were one level lower than the two of them in terms of soul power, with the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Saints, their strength definitely wasn't inferior. In fact, the two of them might only be able to barely hold them off.
Don't be fooled by the fame of Ning Fengzhi alone there were quite a few Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Masters in the sect who had cultivated to the level of a seven-ring Soul Saint.
There were over a dozen Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Saints present tonight. Even if amplifying power across ranks consumed more soul power, they were more than capable of rotating to provide attribute-enhancing support skills.
"Let us battle in the sky!"
With the Seven Kill Sword pointed straight ahead, Chen Xin challenged.
"Agreed."
Exchanging glances, Azure Luan and Glowing feather nodded.
The battlefield below wasn't composed solely of Heaven Dou forces; there were Spirit Hall forces as well. Moving the battle to the sky would prevent their own allies from getting caught in the aftermath—Azure Luna and Glowing feather had no reason to refuse.
Immediately, the four ascended into the sky to begin their battle.
"Heh~ So, that means you two will be my opponents?"
Casting a glance at She Long and Ci Xue, whose purple fifth soul rings were glowing, Dugu Bo curled his lip with a face full of contempt and said with a light chuckle.
"Hmph~ Dugu Bo, you pitiful old man, I will be your opponent! She Long, go down there and act as a spearhead."
Seeing that the two of them had been mocked by the notoriously 'weakling' Dugu Bo, Ci Xue's face immediately darkened. As he accepted the challenge, he addressed She Long.
"Very well."
She Long nodded.
Dugu Bo was a poison-type Soul Master, and Ci Xue's pufferfish spirit was a direct counter to poison-type Soul Masters he was more suited to fight Dugu Bo.
"Just you alone? That might not be enough! Seventh Soul Skill Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor True Body!"
With a taunting remark, Dugu Bo released his Spirit Avatar without hesitation.
Facing two nine-ringed Title Douluo, in the past, even if their soul ring configurations were poor, Dugu Bo wouldn't have dared to show the slightest carelessness. With two against one, he would have simply hoped to survive.
After all, he knew his own limitations. Dugu Bo admitted that, due to his relatively low soul power level, weaker soul ring years, and the nature of his martial soul, his individual combat power was subpar he was basically at the bottom tier among Title Douluo.
Forget two opponents even against just one, he had no confidence in victory.
But today was different. Dugu Bo felt that his current self was terrifyingly strong!
As early as more than half a year ago, using the "Soul Core Secret Method" provided by Mu Yang, Dugu Bo had already condensed his first soul core.
With the soul core continuously compressing and purifying his soul power, the quality of his soul power had improved drastically, greatly enhancing the toxicity of his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison.
Moreover, due to the increase in soul power quality brought about by the soul core, the difficulty in breaking through his bottleneck was reduced. Not long ago, his soul power level had broken through to Rank 93—Title Douluo.
With Rank 93 soul power, soul power quality that far surpassed that of other Title Douluo of the same rank, and extremely fast soul power recovery, at this moment, Dugu Bo believed that his strength would not be weaker than the likes of Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, who were Rank 95 Title Douluo.
And on top of all this, with the support of amplification soul skills from a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Sage, why would he fear suppressing the two weakling Title Douluo before him?
"Not good, this old venom freak is insanely strong! She Long, let's join forces!"
Sensing the oppressive aura of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's true form, Ci Xue expression changed. He immediately called out to She Long, who was about to charge ahead as a vanguard among the rebel forces, to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him.
Of course, this so-called "bullying weaklings" was merely what Ci Xue and She Long thought. If She Long truly went down alone, who would be bullying whom wasn't so certain.
Among the royal guest troop, there was no shortage of Battle Soul Douluo at the eight-ring level. With the amplification skills of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Sage, even though a single eight-ring Battle Soul Douluo wouldn't be a match for a nine-ring Title Douluo, two or three of them fighting together would be enough to force an ordinary Title Douluo to avoid direct conflict let alone someone like She Long, whose strength was more on the weaker side of the Title Douluo spectrum.
Seeing Chen Xin and Gu Rong holding back Azure Luan and Glowing Feather, and the originally weakling-like Dugu Bo now taking on two opponents alone—She Long and Ci Xue—and the Imperial Palace Guard, who had previously been forced to retreat under their attacks, now sounding the horn of counterattack with the support of over two hundred high-level soul masters from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, Qian Renxue's heart instantly sank.
The situation seemed to be turning against her!
Retreat? She couldn't retreat!
If she retreated now, the efforts she had poured into the past sixteen years would all be in vain.
The blood, sweat, and tears she had invested over sixteen years could not be wasted.
This battle—she must win. She cannot lose!
"Go. Take my Saintess Token and summon the soul masters of the Heaven Dou Hall to reinforce us!"
Gritting her teeth, Qian Renxue handed over her Saintess Token to the 'Overlord Flower' who was standing guard behind her, ordering her to head to the Heaven Dou Branch of Spirit Hall to dispatch troops.
Although the Heaven Dou Spirit Hall had only been rebuilt for a year, its current strength was not weak. Though it didn't have any nine-ring Title Douluo, it did possess no shortage of red-clothed bishops at the seven-ring level. In addition, there were many elite soul masters directly under the Hall's command. If they could arrive in time, perhaps the tide of battle could still be turned.
Right now, Qian Renxue had no choice but to drag the Heaven Dou Hall into the fray.
Heaven Dou already knew about Xue Qinghe colluding with Spirit Hall to stage a coup. If this palace rebellion failed, the Heaven Dou Empire would inevitably break ties with Spirit Hall. Even if the Heaven Dou Hall hadn't participated, they would still be treated as traitors by the empire.
"Yes, Young Master!"
The 'Overlord Flower' immediately accepted the command, took the Saintess Token, and rushed at full speed toward the Heaven Dou Hall.
