Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 397 Yuwen Tuo Breaks Xu Tianran's Scheme
"what----"

Amidst the sea of ​​fire, Xu Jiujiu screamed. She hadn't expected Yuwen Tuo to be so ruthless, actually hurling such a powerful fireball at her.

You have to understand, no matter what, she's his aunt. She was just helping him. Does he want to kill her too?
Vina was exasperated. "Sister Jiu Jiu, what are you yelling about? Even if Junior Brother doesn't care about you, he can't possibly not care about me, right? I'm still here, all of us from Ghost Valley are here, does he think he'd kill us all too?"

After a long pause, he realized that Yuwen Tuo, no matter what, would not lay a hand on his own family.

"Huh, it's not hot at all!" Xu Jiujiu then realized that although she was in the middle of this extremely hot fireball, the fireball was not only completely harmless to her, but it didn't even burn her clothes in the slightest.

The same was true for the others; none of the people from the original three kingdoms of Douluo Continent were injured.

Even the Douling Empire, which has a grudge against Yuwentuo, is the same. Yuwentuo will settle accounts with them one day to avenge the ambush in the valley, but not today, since they still have a common enemy today.

"What?" Xu Tianran was filled with disbelief and shock upon seeing this. What kind of martial soul control could achieve such precise damage to the enemy without harming oneself?

Yuwen Tuo laughed, "Don't forget, I seem to have another nickname that I don't use very often, called the Flame Emperor. If I can't even control my own flames and only burn those who deserve to be burned, how can I be worthy of this nickname?"

Long Xiaoyao murmured, "Yuwen Tuo's control over his own power is probably already above mine, a Limit Douluo. Just who is he to have taught such a prodigy?"

After a long time, the flames finally dissipated, and the soul-guided cannons that filled the palace, that formidable steel forest, were completely transformed into pools of golden liquid.

Even the soul tools of the five great guardian soul master groups were completely melted.

Without their soul tools, a soul master is like a tiger without teeth and claws—completely harmless.

The Shrek team, far away in Mingde Hall, felt the earth-shattering attack from the palace. They didn't know what had happened or which side had the upper hand. All they knew was that it was time for them to evacuate.

"Xiao Tao, take everyone and leave Mingdu from the west! Feng Ling, we can settle our grudges another time. I don't have time to fight you today." Yan Shaozhe gave the order while fighting Feng Ling, who suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Yes, teacher!" Ma Xiaotao led Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er, and the others westward.

Jing Hongchen had no intention of forcing them to stay, nor was he bothered to pursue them. He turned to look in the direction of the palace, and was very curious about what had happened there.

Feng Ling still wanted to pester Yan Shaozhe, but she suddenly sensed Zhongli Wu calling her back. It seemed that something big had happened at the palace, so she had no choice but to reluctantly let Yan Shaozhe go for the time being and return to the palace.

Yuwentuo's figure flashed, transforming into a streak of fire, and suddenly rushed towards Xu Tianran. At this moment, all eleven of Xu Tianran's trigger-type defensive soul tools were destroyed, and even his level nine soul tool prosthetic limbs were melted. He was only able to escape the coverage of the Flaming Blaze because of his powerful soul power at the Title Douluo level.

But now, his soul power is completely exhausted.

Before he could react to Yuwentuo's sudden attack, Yuwentuo had already grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.

Ju Zi shouted angrily, "Yuwen Tuo, release His Highness!"

She had no means of attack, so she could only throw oranges at Yuwen Tuo. But such a feeble attack was hardly effective against him. Yuwen Tuo showed no mercy and casually slapped her to the ground. The small orange-clad girl immediately fainted from the impact.

Seeing that Yuwentuo had successfully captured Xu Tianran, Xu Jiujiu excitedly exclaimed, "Well done, Yuwentuo! Kill him, and the Sun Moon Empire's offensive against us will be suspended."

"Don't be in such a hurry, Princess Jiu Jiu." After saying that, Yuwen Tuo looked at Xu Tianran and said sarcastically, "Xu Tianran, haven't I won this game completely?"

"Yuwen Tuo, don't be so smug. Mingdu is completely surrounded by my Soul Master Legion. Even if you kill me, you won't survive. You killed your father, your brother, and your sister. Heaven and earth will not tolerate this. The Sun Moon Empire will destroy you one day." Even at this moment, Xu Tianran was still the most stubborn.

"Surrounded on all sides? Killed your father and sister? Haha, since that's the case, I'll let you know that I've already broken your entire scheme." Yuwen Tuo tapped his soul tool lightly with his finger.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhongli Wu wanted to launch a surprise attack to save Xu Tianran, but was stopped by Long Xiaoyao. Du Busi and Jin Peng were watching them closely, so they wouldn't give them the chance.

The two figures that Yuwentuo released from the soul tool were the Sun and Moon Emperor and Xu Tianzhen. Yuwentuo touched the emperor's chest with his finger, and the unconscious emperor immediately woke up.

"Father?" Xu Tianran exclaimed in surprise. His father had been so ill before, how could he have suddenly woken up, and he seemed to be in pretty good spirits?

“No, Xu Tianran, your plan may seem feasible, but you don’t know that my medical skills are a hundred times stronger than my soul master abilities. Putting me in front of the ailing emperor is your biggest mistake,” Yuwen Tuo said.

When the Sun and Moon Emperor regained consciousness and saw the devastation before him, with the five major Soul Master Corps suffering heavy losses and the Steel Forest completely destroyed, his heart was filled with grief and indignation.

Yuwen Tuo grabbed Xu Tianran by the neck and roared, "You unfilial son, let Tianran go!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran knew that his father was still on his side, and that Yuwen Tuo's plan to use his father against him was a miscalculation.

Strictly speaking, the Sun and Moon Emperor wasn't on anyone's side, but rather on the side of the Sun and Moon Empire. No matter how ruthless Xu Tianran was, or even if he wanted to kill his father, as long as he was doing it for the good of the Sun and Moon Empire, he would naturally help him.

On the contrary, even if Yuwentuo saved him, since Yuwentuo wanted to destroy the Sun Moon Empire, he was the enemy of the emperor.

"Look, you're in a hurry again!" Yuwen Tuo smiled. "I told you, I would completely break Xu Tianran's trap. Now, your so-called crime of patricide and fratricide against me is gone, right? Next, there's your trap of besieging Mingdu."

"Hey, Emperor, Xu Tianran, do you still remember why your Sun Moon Continent suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Douluo Continent four thousand years ago?"

The two were taken aback. Although they didn't understand why Yuwen Tuo would ask such a well-known question, the emperor still answered, "If it weren't for the fact that your Douluo Continent has too many Title Douluos, it would have been conquered by our Sun Moon Empire long ago."

That's right. When it comes to military strength, the Sun Moon Empire alone can overpower the other three countries.

The reason they lost back then was because Shrek Academy gathered more than sixty Title Douluos in one go and defeated them with absolute brute force.

Xu Tianran suddenly realized something, "Could it be..."
