Her eyes held a hint of madness and resentment, her once beautiful face now appearing somewhat ferocious.
Her voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, carrying a deep chill.
Those around her were stunned by her sudden words and expression, and the atmosphere instantly became even more tense.
"What does this mean?"
Did Qian Renxue have some other trick up her sleeve?
Qian Renshang and Gu Yuena were almost simultaneously taken aback, exchanging a glance, both seeing a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.
Gu Yuena narrowed her eyes slightly, carefully sensing something, and finally opened them slightly, her purple eyes emitting a faint light.
Her expression was somewhat grave, and she murmured,
"It seems... a bit troublesome!"
Qian Renshang seemed to sense something as well, his expression becoming more serious, and he instinctively shielded Gu Yuena behind him.
"Haha, come out, all of you... Annihilate everything here.
I told you, no one will leave here alive today."
Qian Renxue rose and laughed maniacally. She looked somewhat morbid.
Her laughter echoed in the air, carrying endless madness and determination.
That laughter seemed like a curse from hell, sending chills down one's spine.
Her face was contorted, her eyes revealing an almost manic light, as if she had fallen into a state of extreme madness.
As soon as she finished speaking, two figures dressed in black robes suddenly appeared in the arena.
One of them was tall and slender, his upright figure vaguely visible beneath the black robe.
His face was mostly obscured by shadows, revealing only a pair of narrow and sharp eyes, like cold stars in the night, flashing with a chilling light.
His hair was casually tied back, a few strands fluttering in the wind, adding a touch of unruliness.
His hands were hidden in the long sleeves of his black robe, yet one could sense the deadly power contained within them.
The other black-robed figure was burly, like a small mountain.
His black robe seemed about to burst from his massive muscles, and every step he took exuded an earth-shaking pressure.
His face was rugged, and his full beard accentuated his imposing presence.
Beneath his thick eyebrows were a pair of large, bell-like eyes, their gaze filled with ferocity and domineering power.
His bald head reflected the sunlight, gleaming like a shimmering metal sphere.
The two stood there silently, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.
Their black robes fluttered in the wind, as if recounting their past glories and carnage.
Their appearance plunged the entire space into a deathly silence, with only their powerful aura spreading outwards.
The nobles present were somewhat bewildered and confused, not understanding what was going on, why these two seemingly ordinary black-robed figures gave Qian Renxue such confidence!
However, everyone soon understood where Qian Renxue's confidence came from!
The Porcupine Douluo's body shone brightly, and a huge Porcupine Martial Soul instantly appeared, its sharp spines gleaming coldly in the sunlight, sending chills down one's spines.
Nine dazzling spirit rings rose one after another from beneath his feet, two yellow, two purple, and five black—the perfect ratio of spirit rings—their brilliant light seemingly illuminating the entire arena.
Each spirit ring emanated a powerful pressure, making everyone present feel breathless.
At the same time, the Serpent Spear Douluo was equally formidable.
A winding serpent spear spirit appeared behind him, like a nimble giant python.
The same nine spirit rings were arranged in sequence, vibrant yet exuding a deadly threat.
He gripped the spear tightly, his eyes revealing boundless killing intent.
Everyone present was stunned by this sudden, powerful aura; fear spread through their hearts.
"Title...Title Douluo! They're both Title Douluos!"
"How can there be two Title Douluos here? Is this the Spirit Hall's trump card?"
Those who had still held a sliver of hope now turned deathly pale.
Some people's legs went weak, almost unable to stand.
Some couldn't help but retreat, wanting to escape this terrifying place, while others stood frozen in place, speechless under the immense pressure.
Every Title Douluo was one of the continent's top combatants; the ability to withstand a thousand troops was no joke.
The crowd, who had been basking in the glory of Qian Renshang and Gu Yuena's victory over several Soul Emperors and Soul Masters, had their confidence shattered by the sudden appearance of two Title Douluos.
An atmosphere of despair began to spread!
"Young Master!"
The two bowed deeply to Qian Renxue; they were none other than Qian Renxue's true trump cards!
The Porcupine Douluo and the Serpent Spear Douluo!
They were specially sent by Grand Elder Qian Daoliu to protect Qian Renxue and her two Title Douluo counterparts.
They had dealt with many troubles for Qian Renxue.
Otherwise, Qian Renxue wouldn't have been able to thrive so smoothly in the Heaven Dou Empire.
To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, these two Title Douluo were almost always by her side.
Moreover, they had specially cultivated a skill to conceal their aura, making it difficult even for fellow Title Douluo powerhouses like Ye to detect them!
That's why Qian Renxue wasn't flustered at all after being defeated by Qian Renshang.
"Did you think what I said before was just a joke?... I said you'd all stay here today."
Qian Renxue glared at Qian Renshang with a ferocious expression.
"So what if I can't beat you now...?
But if you die now, the outcome will be the same... I've seen countless geniuses, but only those who survive to the end are the true winners."
"Qian Renshang... my good brother, I must say you're incredibly foolish.
Even if you had focused on your cultivation, I might never have been able to defeat you."
"But now you've appeared... hahaha, this is wonderful!"
Qian Renxue laughed wildly, her mindset somewhat deranged after being defeated by Qian Renshang.
Qian Renshang remained silent, his face cold.
Qian Renxue then turned her attention to Gu Yuena.
Qian Renxue's expression was complex.
"Nana... I'll give you one last chance. Submit to me, and I can pretend nothing happened.
You can return to the Spirit Hall with me... then, together we will surely stand at the pinnacle of the continent!"
"How about it?"
Qian Renxue's feelings for Gu Yuena were truly complicated.
She was genuinely attracted to Gu Yuena and didn't want to kill her just like that!
"Your sister...did she have a high fever when she was little?
She seems a bit mentally unstable."
Gu Yuena turned to Qian Renxue and asked seriously. Qian Renshang nodded earnestly.
"It seems so, she's always been like this."
"Hiss...that's really pitiful."
"Indeed."
Qian Renshang and Gu Yuena discussed whether Qian Renxue had mental problems.
Qian Renxue clenched her fists tightly, stunned with anger.
"Damn it...you two deserve to die!"
"Kill them both, now!"
