Douluo Continent: Protector Qian Renxue, Martial Soul: Dark Demon Dragon

Chapter 27 Dragon, Black Dragon!

Lin Xiao's expression was aloof and indifferent. He neatly placed his hands behind his back and walked out of the main gate with extremely light steps. It was as if, in his eyes, the group of people surrounding him were nothing more than a mob that was not worth fearing.

Arriving at a distance of less than a hundred meters from the Royal Knights, Lin Xiao quietly focused his gaze on everyone in front of him. The soul masters of the Royal Knights present looked at Lin Xiao with an almost undisguised burning intensity in their eyes.

According to their emperor's decree, if they could kill the assassin before them, they would be granted the title of earl and rewarded with ten thousand gold pieces. The reward of ten thousand gold pieces was not important; the most important thing was being granted the title of earl!

In the Heavenly Dou Empire, the titles of nobility are divided into five major categories: Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron. Among them, the Earl title already possesses corresponding rights and is a title that truly wields real power.

For these members of the Royal Knights, as long as they are not Soul Masters holding the position of Royal Knights Commander, the allure of the Earl title is indescribable.

If one of their members were to kill the assassin in front of them, they would gain what they considered wealth and honor, and even their offspring would be blessed!

Hundreds of powerful members of the Royal Knights stared intently at Lin Xiao, who was not far from them, their gazes burning with intense emotion as they suppressed the excitement deep within their hearts.

Although they were well aware that the assassin before them was already at the level of a Contra Douluo, they felt no fear, only boundless excitement. As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold!

"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him for me!" Emperor Xueye glared angrily at the completely unfamiliar young man before him. His eyes were bloodshot, and his body trembled uncontrollably. He shouted in an extremely cold tone.

The young man had just walked out of the residence of his son, Xue Qinghe. Without a doubt, the person in front of him was the assassin, and it was clear that his beloved son, Xue Qinghe, had met with misfortune.

"Your Majesty, you must take care of your safety. We will definitely avenge Your Highness!" The Grand Master of the Royal Knights said with a determined look in his eyes, supporting the emotionally charged Xue Ye.

In the eyes of all their ministers, Xue Qinghe was the most suitable and necessary person to become the future emperor of the Tiandou Empire. They firmly believed that Xue Qinghe could lead the Tiandou Empire to become stronger and stronger. Now, however, he died tragically at the hands of an assassin. How could they not feel pain and sorrow?

After Xue Qinghe's death, the only candidate qualified to become the emperor of the Tiandou Empire was Xue Beng. However, his ministers knew Xue Beng's character very well.

If Xue Beng were to truly become the future emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, it would be unimaginable what the Heaven Dou Empire would look like if it were handed over to this纨绔 (wán kù, a spoiled and dissolute young man) prince!

The Royal Knights Commander assigned several extremely powerful Soul Saint captains to protect Emperor Xue Ye's safety. Then, he turned to look at the three instructors from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. The four of them looked at each other, their expressions complicated.

Several Soul Saint captains closely surrounded Emperor Xue Ye, quickly leading him away from the area. At the same time, the Royal Knights Commander shouted in a heavy voice, "Kill!"

Hundreds of Royal Knights quickly surrounded Lin Xiao's location, releasing their Martial Souls and revealing their Soul Rings. The lowest level among them was a Soul Master at the Soul Sect realm, and they launched a fierce attack on Lin Xiao in an instant.

Just then, dark clouds suddenly surged up in the night sky, and a scene of lightning and thunder appeared in an instant. The thunder was extremely loud and deafening, making people's ears ring. A violent hurricane suddenly swept in, strong and sharp, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.

The sudden change occurred without warning, causing everyone to stop their attack in an instant. They all turned their gaze to the deep night sky, but a powerful hurricane howled in, making it almost impossible for them to open their eyes.

It could only be vaguely sensed that in the endless darkness of the night, there seemed to be some kind of extremely large object hidden in the dark clouds.

"What exactly is that thing?" The Grand Master of the Royal Knights conjured a soul power barrier in front of him to resist the raging hurricane. His eyes were fixed on the enormous thing hidden behind layers of dark clouds in the night sky. He was filled with shock and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement!

"What is that?" The three education committee members reacted in the same way. The four of them were powerful, with their soul power level reaching the Soul Douluo level. Although the hurricane was extremely strong, it could not affect them at all. Therefore, they could clearly see the huge thing hidden behind the martial soul.

Amidst the layers of thick, overlapping dark clouds, a slender figure suddenly appeared with a flash of dazzling lightning, sometimes clearly visible, sometimes blurred and hidden, its appearance resembling a magnificent black Great Wall, standing majestically in the deep night sky.

"Roar~" The sound of the dragon's roar suddenly resounded throughout the vast world. The sound was deafening, and almost everyone in Tiandou City, no matter where they were, could hear this shocking dragon roar very clearly!

As the deafening roar of the dragon echoed across the vast sky, the heavy martial spirit was slowly pushed aside, and what was hidden among the layers of martial spirit finally revealed its true form.

Before everyone's eyes appeared the enormous dragon head, its eyes shining like a deep starry sky, constantly radiating a bright light.

"Hiss! That's a dragon, a real dragon, a black dragon! How could a dragon appear in Tiandou City!" The members of the Royal Knights gasped in shock at the enormous dragon head and the deafening roar.

As if for some inexplicable reason, their hearts were trembling incessantly.

"A dragon, or a black dragon? This isn't a soul beast. It definitely doesn't feel like a soul beast. Could it be!" The Royal Knights Commander suddenly realized something, his heart filled with astonishment. As if he had thought of something, he slowly shifted his gaze from the black dragon in the night sky to Lin Xiao.
