Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

At this moment, not only Zhang Lexuan, but all the people involved in the assassination had expressions of deep regret on their faces.

They knew that the opportunity to assassinate Xu Tianran was hard-won. It took a long time of careful planning and preparation to finally get such an opportunity.

However, now that we have failed and missed this opportunity, it will be extremely difficult to find such a suitable opportunity again in the future.

The plan to assassinate Xu Tianran plunged the Sun and Moon Empire into turmoil, causing a power vacuum and chaos in the empire, but ultimately ended in failure.

Just when everyone was feeling unwilling, the palace guards finally recovered from their initial shock.

The thrilling scene just now frightened them to death, and their eyes were bloodshot.

After all, Xu Tianran is the crown prince of the Sun and Moon Empire, and his status is extremely noble. As palace guards, they are responsible for protecting the crown prince's safety.

If Xu Tianran encounters any accident, these guards will be held responsible and none of them will be able to escape punishment.

Even if Xu Tianran was fine, they would definitely be severely punished for their poor protection afterwards, and it would even be uncertain whether they could keep the job they depended on for survival.

So, in fear and panic, countless soul-guided rays shot towards Zhang Lexuan like raindrops.

At the same time, the black phoenix in the sky also let out a sharp cry. She was surrounded by surging flames, like a moving volcano, and swooped towards Zhang Lexuan with endless heat and destructive aura.

The blazing flames lit up half the sky, made everyone's faces red, and made people feel a wave of heat coming towards them.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Lexuan's entire body instantly emitted a soft and cool silver glow.

The light grew brighter and brighter, and gradually, she seemed to merge with the silver moon hanging high in the sky, and her body floated lightly towards the back.

Faced with the black phoenix flying towards her with great momentum, she did not choose to attack it head-on at the first moment.

In the air, the target was too conspicuous. Once attacked by the enemy's concentrated firepower, even with her own powerful strength, it would be difficult for her to withstand it.

The black phoenix did not stop chasing at all. It followed Zhang Lexuan closely like a ghost and chased her down from the air.

At this moment, Long Aotian stood up without hesitation, his body shape instantly changed, turning into an extremely huge war hammer, and attacked the black phoenix directly.

His purpose was very clear, which was to buy precious time for Zhang Lexuan's retreat.

"Chi!" A strange and harsh collision sound rang out in the air.

Suddenly, a layer of dark red flames appeared all over Long Aotian's body. The flames seemed to carry some strange power, eroding his body madly.

Immediately afterwards, Long Aotian's body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and crashed heavily into his own crowd, causing a burst of exclamations.

No one expected that in a head-on fight, Long Aotian would be defeated so thoroughly.

"It's you, Xiaotao, wake up!"

Zhang Lexuan looked at the black phoenix, a complicated look flashing in her eyes.

Long before, she felt that the aura of the Black Phoenix was somewhat familiar, but she was not sure for a moment.

At this moment, after close contact, she finally confirmed that the ferocious black phoenix in front of her was Ma Xiaotao who was abducted by the evil soul master that year.

Zhang Lexuan no longer hesitated. She flashed and turned into a hazy moonlight, instantly replacing Long Aotian's position and standing firmly in front of the Black Phoenix.

At this moment, her body was surrounded by rich silver moonlight, and she seemed to have merged perfectly with the silver moon.

This is her powerful martial soul avatar - the Silver Moon avatar. This martial soul avatar is suitable for both long-range and short-range attacks and possesses astonishingly powerful strength.

Zhang Lexuan raised her right hand slightly, and a beam of bright moonlight as thick as a water tank rushed towards the black phoenix that wanted to continue chasing like a roaring beast.

In an instant, a cool breath filled the air, and wherever the moonlight passed, the space seemed to be frozen.

However, just as the moonlight was about to hit the Black Phoenix, Zhang Lexuan felt a surge of extremely hot air rushing towards her.

The airflow seemed to come from the magma deep in the earth's core, carrying a high temperature that could destroy everything.

Surprisingly, the powerful moonlight she emitted began to twist and deform in this hot airflow.

The originally straight column of moonlight now resembled a soft ribbon, twisting helplessly in the strong wind.

When the moonlight finally hit the other party, its power was obviously weakened a lot and it no longer had the powerful momentum it had before.

"What is this? The Ultimate Fire?"

Zhang Lexuan's face darkened instantly and she quickly made a judgment in her mind.

The Silver Moon Martial Soul she possessed was considered top-tier among many Martial Souls. Normally, ordinary flames could not pose any threat to the moonlight she released. However, at this moment, facing Ma Xiaotao's attack, the situation was completely different.

Only the ultimate fire has such a powerful force that can compete with her Silver Moon power. After Ma Xiaotao turned evil, her own flame power had already achieved a qualitative breakthrough and successfully entered the ultimate realm.

Now, after becoming an evil soul master, she still retains the powerful strength she gained after turning evil.

In the sky, the black phoenix and the silver moon shone against each other, flying up and down and colliding violently, and the battle situation fell into a stalemate.

The Black Phoenix was engulfed in flames, and every flap of its wings brought with it rolling waves of heat. The scorching flames surged towards the Silver Moon like a surging tide, while the Silver Moon emitted a cool glow, and rays of bright moonlight were like sharp blades, fearlessly facing the flames.

The moonlight and flames crisscrossed, weaving a gorgeous yet dangerous picture in the air.

The two of them fought back and forth, neither giving in, and for a moment they were in a stalemate, unable to determine the winner.

Just as this intense battle was in full swing, the situation changed again.

Du Bu Si, who was high in the sky, keenly realized that the assassination plan of Zhang Lexuan and others had failed.

In this situation, there is no practical point in continuing the stalemate and dragging Long Xiaoyao and others along.

Du Bu Si acted decisively and shouted, "Men, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and kill these evil soul masters!"

Du Bu Si's voice was as loud as a bell, echoing across the battlefield.

At the same time, Xuan Zi also quickly transmitted his soul power to give orders to all the Titled Douluo of Shrek Academy, asking them to take action immediately and fully assist Zhang Lexuan and others to seize the opportunity to break out.

Faced with the changing situation, Long Xiaoyao remained extremely calm, as if he didn't care at all.

His huge black dragon body was seen swinging wildly in the air, and every movement stirred up a violent airflow.

The airflow was like a surging wave, sweeping towards Du Bu Si and Xuan Zi fiercely. Wherever it went, the air was torn apart, making sharp whistling sounds.

For a strong man like Long Xiaoyao who stands at the pinnacle of the soul master world, there is almost no big difference between his martial soul and the real black dragon.

His enormous body can have a huge impact on the surrounding environment with just a casual swing, and can even control the changes in celestial phenomena.

Led by Long Xiaoyao, the three of them started a fierce battle again. Not only that, many Titled Douluo who had been watching before also joined the battle at this moment, and the entire battlefield instantly fell into a full-scale melee.

For a moment, soul power overflowed, light shone, and all kinds of extremely powerful soul skills bloomed in the air like fireworks.

Some soul skills turned into bright stars, some soul skills condensed into surging torrents, and some soul skills transformed into ferocious beasts. They intertwined and collided with each other, erupting in a deafening roar.

Many martial spirits' true forms also appeared one after another, with different forms and competing for beauty.

Nearly fifty Titled Douluo engaged in a melee a thousand meters in the sky. Such a grand, intense and shocking scene is rarely seen in a thousand years.

This spectacular scene made Youxiang so excited that she shouted loudly, saying it was so exciting. Even the usually calm and composed Xuenv and others were deeply attracted by this fierce battle, staring at the battlefield in the distance with their eyes fixed.

After all, this scene is really rare to see.

Liu Xing was carefully observing these Titled Douluo, especially the fluctuations when they used the power of their soul cores. After this competition, he would be ready to condense the first soul core and break through to the Soul Saint level.

It would be very beneficial for him to be able to watch this battle to be banned before breaking through.

In this battle for the title, Shrek Academy and the Body Sect were almost suppressing the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church.

The Body Sect is extremely powerful and is particularly good at frontal attacks. Although the Evil Soul Master's abilities are strange and vicious, he is quickly suppressed by the Body Sect in a frontal battle.

There were quite a few Titled Douluo and Super Douluo from Shrek Academy, and they also suppressed their opponents.

Xu Tianran had also been paying attention to the battle in the sky, and his face darkened.

Although the Holy Spirit Church is powerful, it did not send out all its forces. It was besieged by Titled Douluo from Shrek Academy, Body Sect, and Star Luo Empire. The fact that it was able to remain undefeated was already a reflection of its strength.

"Tell the Red Dust Hall Master to be prepared."

"Yes."

Although the surroundings had become a ruin, the thing Xu Tianran had the most in this palace was manpower.

Not long after, Zhang Lexuan and others who were in a fierce battle suddenly heard some strange noises in their ears.

"Click, creak, squeak..."

These sounds were very strange, not like normal fighting sounds, and they did not come from a single direction, but from all directions at the same time, as if countless unknown things were quietly approaching from every corner.

This is……?
Zhang Lexuan's heart suddenly tightened, and an ominous premonition came over her. (End of this chapter)
