Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 725 A Bird Startled by the Bow (6K)

Behind Elder Xuan and Poison Immortal, more than twenty powerful individuals followed them into the sky. Even a powerful figure like Long Xiaoyao couldn't help but slightly change his expression.

In terms of the number of Title Douluos, his side only has half the number of the other side.

Moreover, Long Xiaoyao knew very well that with the foundation of the Body Sect and Shrek Academy, nearly half of these Title Douluos were probably Super Douluos.

Otherwise, even if they knew they were in the Mingdu Imperial Palace, they wouldn't dare to come rashly.

"Xuanzi, let's not stand on ceremony with the old black dragon. He's a step above us in seniority. Let's go side by side." Du Busi laughed and, having just ascended into the sky, flashed out and pounced fiercely towards Long Xiaoyao.

Elder Xuan was in no hurry to act. This old poisoner was corrupt and always wanted to drag others down with him.

However, both of them are among the strongest in the world, both being level 98 Super Douluo. Although they seem to be only one level away from the level 99 Limit Douluo, he is very clear about what this gap means.

Without my help, Poison Failure would have been beaten to death by Long Xiaoyao today.

Even if he doesn't take the lead in attacking today, he will try to preserve Shrek's fighting strength as much as possible, rather than just watching Du Bu Si go up and fight alone.

The other titled Douluo did not make a move, but instead retreated to a distance, watching this super showdown from afar.

For them, this was also a rare opportunity. Being able to observe a battle of this caliber would be extremely beneficial for strong individuals of their level.

Once they can glean something from this, it will greatly promote their future improvement.

Facing the arrival of two powerful figures, Long Xiaoyao remained fearless. He raised his hands in mid-air and struck out with each of them, one towards Du Busi and the other towards Elder Xuan.

A deep, resonant dragon roar, like rolling thunder, echoed through the air. In the eyes of Elder Xuan and Poison Immortal, it appeared as if an old dragon had turned over and was revealing its claws to them.

The two black palm shadows swelled in the air against the wind, quickly transforming into giant palms that were hundreds of meters high, as majestic as mountains.

"Hey!" Poison Undying shouted, his whole body surging with green light. Behind him, a layer of dark green light and shadow suddenly unfolded. His arms instantly grew larger, and his two giant palms slammed forward, blocking the black palm shadow.

"Bang!" The deep rumble caused the Mingdu Imperial Palace below to tremble. Du Busi's body also trembled slightly, but his dark green hands had already plunged into the black palm shadow, tearing it apart right in front of him.

On the other side, Elder Xuan's approach was far more forceful. He took a step in the void, and behind him, the image of the Taotie Divine Ox flashed. Above his head, two spiraling horns emerged, along with nine soul rings: two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red. He unleashed a powerful right punch.

"Boom!"

The black palm shadow dissipated, and Elder Xuan was sent flying more than ten meters backward. Long Xiaoyao, who was in the distance, also swayed slightly on his shoulders.

"Gentlemen, it's time for us to begin."

In mid-air, an old man who was confronting a number of evil soul masters and level nine soul masters spoke up.

With nine soul rings rising from his body—two yellow, two purple, and five black—his powerful soul force, reaching level ninety-seven, was clearly revealed.

"Today is the day to punish evil and slay wicked villains!"

"kill!"

A vast aura of spirit rings shimmered in the night sky, and the Super Douluo, rarely seen on ordinary days, occupied half the sky today.

……

"Boom!" A rumbling sound like muffled thunder came from the sky, and there were flashes of light and shadow in the air.

"The decapitation plan within the Sun and Moon Palace has already begun; we must act swiftly as well."

Huo Yuhao's voice rang out from the dark street next to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.

While Du Busi was fighting Long Xiaoyao, everyone received a signal.

At this time, almost all the powerful figures had been gathered at the palace.

The level 7, 8, and 9 Soul Masters responsible for guarding Mingde Hall and the armory were all transferred away.

The team, consisting of over a dozen Super Douluo, was tasked with breaking through the evil soul masters' defenses to carry out a decapitation strike.

In a sense, many places are now completely undefended except for alarm systems and some automatic firepower.

Huo Yuhao raised his hand and opened a gate to the dead. Looking through the gate, one could vaguely see another large door behind it.

Through the second gate of the dead, one can see a seemingly ordinary courtyard. The person on duty here today is the middle-aged man surnamed Li who met with Chen An that day.

Huo Yuhao opened two gates to the dead in succession, one of which was even remotely summoned from the undead demiplane. Even Electrolux was full of praise for Huo Yuhao's mastery of the Dao of Space.

The Divine Spheres also played a role in this. If Huo Yuhao hadn't recently used a massive amount of deep-sea silver to create a large number of Divine Spheres at any cost, his understanding of the Dao of Space wouldn't be so refined.

Huo Yuhao looked down at the small courtyard through the two gates of the dead. Yes, Huo Yuhao's second gate of the dead opened in the night sky. The pitch-black gate of the dead was hidden in the darkness. Unless a soul master with exceptional eyesight looked around in the middle of the night, he would not be able to see the existence of the gate of the dead at all.

In the courtyard, the middle-aged man surnamed Li, who was meeting with Chen An, appeared calm on the surface, but a hint of anxiety flashed in his eyes from time to time, as if he was waiting for something.

He wasn't worried that Chen An would trick him.

Both of them knew exactly what they were doing. If one of them decided to fight to the death, it would mean losing their entire family's head. No one would be foolish enough to double-cross or betray their trust in such a situation.

His only concern was whether the deal could be completed smoothly.

After all, Mingduli is now absolutely heavily guarded, with guards every three steps and sentries every five steps.

At this moment, the rumbling sound, like rolling thunder, grew louder and louder in the distant sky.

Dark green, black, yellow, gold—various colors of light burst forth.

Although the battlefield was high in the sky, one could still feel its magnificent aura from that distance.

If they can hear and see, then Li Chong can certainly do the same.

The occasional loud noises made him seem like a frightened bird, easily startled, and he kept glancing at the screen in his hand.

Just then, figures suddenly rose into the air from the neighboring courtyard.

A strong, powerful voice rang out: "Li Chong, guard the gate. We're going to the palace."

When Li Chong heard that powerful voice, his heart tightened suddenly. When a person has something on their mind, they become particularly sensitive to changes in the outside world.

Upon hearing the voice say that they were just going to check on the palace and hadn't discovered anything, the steward immediately relaxed. His body even felt a little weak.

Just then, the screen of the soul-guided communicator in his hand finally lit up, and a symbol indicating a successful transaction was transmitted, finally allowing him to completely relax.
