Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

"Wow! What a huge sea this is!" Youxiang stuffed snacks in her mouth and exclaimed in surprise while chewing.

The other Titled Douluo present might not be able to detect Long Xiaoyao's hidden strength in battle, but Youxiang was different.

She was originally a magical herb. This unique origin gave her a keen perception far beyond that of ordinary Titled Douluo.

With this ability, she clearly felt that the surging power in Long Xiaoyao's body had only been utilized by less than half at this moment.

Once Long Xiaoyao gets serious and exerts all his strength, with his terrifying combat power, even if he cannot take the lives of Xuan Zi and Du Bushi directly, it will be no problem for him to completely break down their defenses in a very short time.

Therefore, the three powerful men were fighting brilliantly in the sky, but in fact, an elder was just feeding moves to two juniors. As an Extreme Douluo, Long Xiaoyao had the absolute strength to crush Xuan Zi and Du Bu Si, but he deliberately controlled the battle situation to give the two a chance to grow.

Even so, such a high-level battle was still a rare sight for the many Titled Douluo watching, and they all watched with great fascination.

And in the palace below, another fierce battle was entering a climax.

Those high and mighty Titled Douluo followed some tacit understanding and did not intervene in the fight on the ground.

But the three parties of Xingluo Empire, Benti Sect and Shrek Academy have already launched a full-scale attack.

Long before Xuan Zi and Du Bu Si successfully held back Long Xiaoyao, a group of well-trained soul masters, all of whom were above the level of Seven-Ring Soul Saint, rushed into the palace swiftly.

For a moment, the sounds of shouting and killing and the collision of soul power were intertwined, and they and the palace guards instantly fought in a group.

Swords and sabers flashed, soul power shone, and the entire palace fell into chaos.

Liuxing looked at the chaotic scene from afar and couldn't help but frown slightly, with a speechless look on his face.

In his opinion, these people's actions were too childish. Did they really naively believe that with just this group of Soul Saints and Soul Douluos, they could successfully kill the powerful Regent Xu Tianran in the capital of the Sun-Moon Empire? This idea was simply absurd.

If this is true, then Liu Xing can only say that he is too naive. The Titled Douluo of the Holy Spirit Church has indeed been held back, but is that really the full strength of the Holy Spirit Church? Where is the royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire?

Liuxing didn't believe that Xu Tianran would be unaware of the assassination attempt against him.

In this Ming capital, Xu Tianran, as the regent, controls a huge intelligence network. How could there be so many things that could be hidden from him?

If you can't even control the situation in the imperial capital, then what's the point of dreaming about unifying the continent? You'd better go to bed early.

The night was deep, and the Mingdu Palace exuded a solemn atmosphere in the silence. However, this tranquility was broken by a group of ghostly figures.

The group of soul masters who rushed into the Mingdu Palace all exuded a fierce aura. It was obvious at a glance that they were the elite forces carefully selected by several major forces.

They moved quickly and in an orderly manner, like a black torrent, instantly breaking through the defense line of the palace guards.

Wherever these elite soul masters went, screams were heard, causing considerable casualties to the palace guards.

Their attack was extremely fierce, like a sharp knife shining with cold light, stabbing mercilessly into the heart of the palace.

Their target was extremely clear, which was the Imperial Study where Xu Tianran was. It was not difficult to see that these soul masters involved in the action were not acting recklessly.

They obviously have an efficient intelligence network, which allows them to accurately grasp Xu Tianran's specific whereabouts tonight.

From these meticulous preparations, we can see that this assassination plan was by no means a blind act carried out on impulse, but was the result of a long period of planning and preparation, with every link carefully considered.

At the front of this assassination team was a tall and strong young man. He was wrapped in black clothes, with his hood pulled down deeply and a mask covering his face tightly, trying to hide his true face in the darkness. However, Meteor, who was watching the battle from a distance, only took a glance and immediately recognized this person's identity.

He is Long Aotian, the strong man who had fought a fierce battle with Liuxing on the field. In the Snow Demon Sect team, Long Aotian's strength firmly makes him sit on the throne of the strongest.

However, compared to the Snow Demon Sect, perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe him as the Young Master of the Body Sect.

The martial soul that Long Aotian possesses is extremely peculiar, it is "skin".

Although Long Aotian's martial soul is slightly inferior to Du Bu Si's terrifying original martial soul, it can still be regarded as an outstanding existence among all kinds of original martial souls.

At this moment, Long Aotian bravely charged to the front of the team, unstoppable all the way.

His entire body was shining with dazzling golden light as he displayed the powerful "Immortal Golden Body" soul skill.

In an instant, he seemed to turn into an indestructible fortress, standing firmly in the front, building a solid barrier for his teammates behind him, blocking most of the soul guide ray attacks that came like raindrops.

Amidst the fierce battle in the palace, Long Aotian charged forward as a perfect tank, fending off wave after wave of attacks for his teammates. Above him, a strange and magnificent sight unfolded—a silver moon, emitting a soft glow, quietly hovered.

This silver moon is like a dream, and the silver moonlight is like lively elves, scattering in all directions like a rain of flowers in the sky.

Wherever the moonlight touched, those soul guides that were originally extremely powerful and terrifying began to wail under the influence of this force, and then were destroyed one by one, turning into a pile of scrap metal.

This suddenly appearing silver moon instantly became the focus of the battlefield, successfully attracting the attention of everyone including Xu Tianran.

In the Sun-Moon Empire, the three martial spirits inherited by the royal family have always been the symbol of the Sun-Moon Empire, and the Silver Moon Martial Spirit is one of them.

Because of this, this silver moon that appeared out of nowhere and exuded a cool aura naturally attracted the high attention and strong curiosity of many people present.

In this chaos, it is particularly worth mentioning that Kong Deming, the master of the Royal Worship Hall, was hiding in the dark and always vigilantly guarding Xu Tianran.

He possesses twin martial souls, one of which is the eye-catching Silver Moon martial soul. Even his title is defined as "Silver Moon".

At this moment, seeing the silver moon floating above the battlefield, an imperceptible complex look flashed in Kong Deming's eyes, and he stared at the silver moon in the sky in the dark.

Ever since Zhang Lexuan set foot on the land of Mingdu, Kong Deming has been silently paying attention to her in the dark where others cannot notice.

As the master of the Royal Worship Hall of the Sun and Moon Empire, Kong Deming is highly sensitive to any factors that may affect the royal family due to his duties.

The appearance of Zhang Lexuan, especially some of the characteristics she displayed, made Kong Deming feel suspicious.

The reason why he cared so much about Zhang Lexuan was because Zhang Lexuan's Silver Moon Martial Soul was too similar to the Silver Moon Martial Soul inherited by the royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire.

However, despite his doubts, Kong Deming was still unable to confirm whether there was really any connection between Zhang Lexuan and the royal family.

The Sun-Moon Empire has gone through a long period of development, and its royal family has a large number of members and complex relationships.

In a large family system, it is not uncommon for some illegitimate children to appear. As time goes by, it is also completely reasonable that bloodlines inadvertently flow out and spread.

The interweaving of these many uncertain factors made Zhang Lexuan's life experience more and more confusing, and also made Kong Deming fall into thinking and observation.

This is a heavily guarded imperial palace. As the core center of power of the Sun-Moon Empire, the top leaders of the Sun-Moon Empire will naturally not casually deploy large-scale destructive soul guides here.

After all, although this type of soul guide is incredibly powerful, once it gets out of control, the damage it causes to the palace buildings and surrounding facilities will be immeasurable, and may even endanger the safety of members of the royal family.

Because of this, this special situation became the key reason why the assassination team dared to rush and attack in the palace.

You know, if it were any other place, just one extremely powerful and lethal soul guide would be enough to plunge this assassination team into an irretrievable situation in an instant, facing the tragic end of annihilation.

The terrifying energy released by that kind of high-destructive soul guide can turn a large area into ruins in an instant. Any enemy who dares to approach will be reduced to ashes by the powerful energy impact.

As for this situation, before launching this offensive, the three forces of Shrek Academy, Xingluo Empire and Tianhun Empire had already reached a clear consensus after in-depth discussions and analysis.

They were well aware of the limitations that the special environment of the imperial palace placed on soul guides of mass destruction, and they also understood that this was their greatest advantage in this operation.

With this advantage, the three forces decisively decided to launch this bold assassination operation.

The Sun-Moon Empire has made extensive research in the field of soul guides, and the soul guides it manufactures have always been known for their powerful ability to strike at ultra-long distances and cause large-scale damage.

These soul guides are like the Grim Reaper's scythe on the battlefield. They can deal devastating blows to the enemy from a long distance, harvesting lives on a large scale and making the opponent terrified.

However, no matter how powerful a weapon is, it has its weaknesses. Once a nimble soul master gets close to a soul guide, its power will be greatly reduced.

When a soul master breaks through the defense and approaches the person operating the soul guide, due to factors such as limited operating space and insufficient reaction time, the soul guide that could originally exert 100% of its power can only exert half of its effectiveness, which is already quite good.

On the other hand, the elite teams carefully selected and dispatched by the three forces of Shrek Academy, Xingluo Empire and Tianhun Empire usually focus on training for small-scale raids.

These elite team members are all agile and well-coordinated. They are good at using terrain, speed and tactics to launch unexpected attacks with small forces and disrupt the enemy's deployment.

In the fierce battle in the palace, although they did not have the advantage in numbers, when facing the well-trained guards of the Sun-Moon Empire Palace, they relied on their superb combat skills and perfect use of their own advantages to cleverly avoid the sharp edge of the soul guides and quickly close to the enemy.

For a time, the smaller elite team suppressed the palace guards and forced them to retreat step by step, causing the Sun-Moon Empire palace guards to be in chaos.
