Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 391 The Great War Begins: Fierce Battles Between Major Forces

The fierce battle continued in the skies above the palace.

Although Long Xiaoyao is not at a disadvantage against Du Busi, he has too many things to worry about. His task today is to protect the Sun and Moon Palace.

In this battle, Du Busi could act without restraint, but he couldn't; he had to devote a lot of energy to protecting the palace.

He dared not go all out to clash with Du Busi, otherwise the aftershocks of the battle between the two Limit Douluos would destroy the target he was originally protecting.

This is precisely why Poison Never Dies insists on not fighting at high altitudes.

"Uncle Long, I'm here to lend you a hand!" A man dressed in a red robe and wearing a mask appeared in a flash; he was none other than Zhongli Wu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect.

He originally had other tasks, but now it seems that his top priority is to defeat this unruly madman, Poison Undying.

Zhongli Wu's strength is also level 98. Although there is a considerable gap between him and the current full-power Dragon Emperor Douluo and Body Douluo, he is not completely unable to intervene. At least he can help block the aftershocks, allowing Long Xiaoyao to attack with all his might without any worries.

After all, he was the Grand Preceptor of the Sun Moon Empire.

Two other figures flew at an extremely fast speed towards the depths of the palace. One was an old acquaintance, Zhang Peng, and the other was a beautiful woman with a slender figure and short hair, Feng Ling, the vice leader of the Holy Spirit Sect and an evil soul master. Their destination was Yuwen Tuo's location. It seemed that Xu Tianran couldn't wait any longer.

At Mingde Hall, the Shrek Academy students launched a full-scale attack, and Jing Hongchen immediately led all the seventh, eighth, and ninth-level Soul Masters in the hall to fight back.

The two sides fought fiercely, but in reality, Shrek had no intention of fighting to the death. They only needed to share the firepower of Mingde Hall, and then retreat westward while fighting.

Jing Hongchen saw through their intentions and decided to play along. He didn't intend to get involved in the storm at the palace tonight; he just wanted to protect Mingde Hall.

Ma Xiaotao killed a level 7 Soul Master with a single Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike and landed next to Zhou Yi. "Teacher Zhou, the fighting here at Mingde Hall doesn't seem too intense. I can spare some time to support the main battlefield."

Zhou Yi said, "No, your mission is to protect Yuhao and the others as they leave Mingdu. Don't even think about Yuwen Tuo. With his strength, he doesn't need your help!"

How could she not see through Ma Xiaotao's thoughts? Under the guise of providing support, she actually just wanted to get close to Yuwen Tuo.

"Xiao Tao, lead the children to evacuate from the west!" Just then, a dazzling light shone in the sky, and a bright phoenix illuminated the night as if it were daytime.

The current Sea God Pavilion Master, Ming Feng Douluo, has finally arrived. Originally, it was Xuan Zi who was secretly protecting everyone. He would even join the main battlefield and fight against Long Xiaoyao.

However, Yan Shaozhe lacked Xuanzi's strength and even courage, so he naturally dared not go to the other battlefield and instead came here to rescue people.

"Yes, teacher!" Ma Xiaotao had no choice but to reply. The teacher had entrusted the lives of her younger schoolmates to her, and she could not abandon them.

"Hmm, what's this aura?" Inside the palace, Feng Ling suddenly sensed something and said in a deep voice, "Zhang Peng, you go deal with Yuwen Tuo, I have somewhere to go!"

After saying that, she turned and flew towards Mingde Hall.

It seems she sensed Yan Shaozhe's aura. In fact, she no longer remembered Yan Shaozhe, so to be more precise, she was familiar with the aura of the Radiant Phoenix.

She wanted to devour the Phoenix of Light, at which point she would be able to break through the shackles of level 97 and advance to level 98.

"Vice Master! Where are you going?" Zhang Peng was startled. Was he supposed to deal with Yuwen Tuo alone?
It's not that he can't do it; with his level 96 strength, defeating Yuwen Tuo shouldn't be a problem. The difficulty lies in the fact that he can't fight him alone, because although he could win, one person definitely couldn't achieve an instant kill.

If he and Yuwen Tuo were to fight inside the palace, it would undoubtedly be an extremely fierce battle, making it difficult to go unnoticed.

Even if Xu Tianran's plan succeeds and he kills his father, the emperor, by then...

But when the time comes, will the world believe that Yuwen Tuo murdered his father? Or will it be that an evil spirit master attacked the palace and killed the emperor, and Yuwen Tuo fought him to avenge his father?

It must be the latter. Although Zhang Peng was a member of the Holy Spirit Cult, he knew how bad the reputation of evil spirit masters was on the mainland.

Therefore, in order to successfully frame Xu Tianran, the evil spirit masters must not appear in the emperor's palace openly, otherwise they will have to take the blame whether they like it or not.

Originally, it was possible for him and Feng Ling to join forces, instantly kill Yuwen Tuo, and then leave quietly. But if he were alone, he would have no chance of winning without fighting for hundreds of rounds. Yuwen Tuo was no ordinary Soul Saint.

As expected, evil spirit masters are all selfish. Becoming stronger is what matters to them, and plans are none of their business.

Zhang Peng had no choice but to stop. He wasn't going to be foolish enough to rush in alone and take the blame for Yuwen Tuo, so he lay in ambush outside.

Xu Tianran was still quietly watching the battle not too high in the sky when he ordered, "Ju Zi, send out all the titled Douluos in the palace. We must kill Du Busi today. He is now undoubtedly the strongest among the three major countries of Douluo Continent. Once he is dead, our country will be unmatched in terms of high-end combat power."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Ju Zi had been prepared for this. She and Xu Tianran shared the same thought: if they couldn't be poisoned, they had to die.

Before long, several black figures flew out from the palace. They were all experts at the title level. Their purpose was the same as Zhongli Wu's. They did not directly intervene in the battle, but only helped Long Xiaoyao block the spreading impact so that Long Xiaoyao could attack with all his might without any worries.

When these two Limit Douluos are both severely injured, that will be the time for them to strike and take down Poison Undying.

For Xu Tianran, the decapitation operation by Du Busi was also a great opportunity to cut off the head of this Limit Douluo.

"Xu Tianran is starting to get anxious! Now's the time for a full-scale attack!" Du Busi shouted.

"Everyone, follow me and kill!" Vina commanded.

Elites from various academies and sects surged into the palace like a tidal wave.

With the Thunder Dragon Head of the Heavenly Dragon Gate and the Annihilation Claw of the Earthly Dragon Gate clearing the way, explosions resounded throughout the entire palace.

"Take down Xu Tianran." Xu Jiujiu's goal was clear: as long as they eliminated Xu Tianran, they would have accomplished more than half of their objective.

Among the three Title Douluos she brought with her was a speed-attack type Title Douluo, Whirlwind Douluo.

Although he was only level 91, his martial spirit was called Whirlwind Dagger, which could harness wind-attribute power to greatly enhance his speed. His mission was to kill Xu Tianran with a single blow.

Amidst countless explosions and roars, his figure transformed into a whirlwind, heading straight for Xu Tianran.

Xu Tianran was sitting on the balcony of the East Palace, practically a sitting duck.
