A Bite of Douluo Continent

"Why don't you... reconsider?"

"No need, Uncle. I really enjoy my life now."

Dai Youyuan remained silent for a long time before he began to recall the way he had seen Keke these past few days.

During those ten days or so, he would sit for two hours each time at Hanshi Festival, slowly savoring the food while observing the child.

The waiter's job is tiring, but Keke always has a warm smile on her face and has never complained about it. On the contrary, she treats every customer with courtesy.

Just like the child said, he really enjoys this kind of life.

He felt a stirring and a struggle within him.

To be honest, he actually has his own ideas about Keke's future.

With a personality like Keke's, if he were to hone his skills alongside him in the Zhen Dong Army, he could grow up much faster.

But ultimately, his thoughts are his own, and Keke's own choices and ideas are the most important.

After figuring this out, Dai Youyuan finally smiled.

"it is good."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dai Youyuan stood up and was about to walk downstairs.

"Second Uncle, are you leaving?"

Keke opened her eyes wide, feeling a deep sense of reluctance.

Dai Youyuan is like a father to him; when they are together, he feels warmth and peace of mind.

"Leave? I'm not leaving anymore, I'll never leave again, but..."

"Your second uncle has to go and find what I've lost all these years."

A relaxed smile appeared on Dai Youyuan's face.

"I've lost enough. There are some things I can't afford to lose anymore."

Chapter 227 The Emperor Under the Sword

"Tsk, so easily defeated!"

The six-winged angel in the palace once again wielded its sword, unleashing countless sharp sword beams towards the Guardian Douluo.

The Guardian Douluo was pale-faced. He used all his strength to resist the powerful attack, but in the end, he could not bear it any longer and was sent flying back, crashing into a huge pillar in the palace. He slowly slid down, barely breathing.

A ferocious smile appeared on Qian Chenhai's face. He brandished his long sword, ready to strike again and kill the Guardian Douluo on the spot, but a blood-red longsword blocked his way.

"That's good enough!" Xu Changling said calmly almost simultaneously.

Qian Chenhai snorted coldly, turned around and glared at Xu Changling, but could only sullenly withdraw his hand.

He cursed inwardly, regretting that Zhongli Qing was not there and that he could not do anything to the Overlord Blade Douluo for the time being.

When Zhong Liqing gets back, I'll kill this guy!

Ignoring Qian Chenhai, Xu Changling stopped him from continuing his attack and then turned his gaze to Dai Yuansheng, saying, "You lost."

“Heh…heh…” Dai Yuansheng gave a bitter laugh. “Back then, I didn’t lose to that damned second brother, but today, I’ve lost to you.”

"Spare my child, and I'll surrender. What do you say?" Dai Yuansheng's face darkened.

Although his eight-ring strength was enough to completely crush Xu Changling, who was at the Soul Saint level, the presence of two Title Douluo-level experts beside him made him realize that any further struggle would be futile.

She had no chance left; she could only hope that the other party would spare her child.

"They will have their soul power stripped and will live as ordinary people from now on." Xu Changling's expression was calm, clearly indicating that he had already made his own plans regarding this issue.

“Ordinary people… that’s fine too, just being alive is good enough.” Dai Yuansheng was dejected, no longer possessing any imperial majesty. “The victor is king, the loser is villain, I have nothing more to say.”

"Pfft!"

Xu Changling drew the ceremonial sword belonging to the Prime Minister and plunged it into Dai Yuansheng's heart.

This unjustly enthroned emperor of Xingluo ended his life under Xu Changling's sword.

"Tang Qianqiu, I, Zhong Liqing, the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect, will avenge this grudge one day!"

The venomous voice from the heavens also reached the palace.

Xu Changling and Ba Dao Douluo remained calm, as if they had expected it, but Qian Chenhai's face suddenly turned ferocious and terrified at this moment.

"Why is Tang Qianqiu here?!"

The panic on his face was almost impossible to hide, and the deep fear in his eyes was evident.

Tang Qianqiu... Tang Clan!

Back then, when the Spirit Hall was destroyed, they were one of the main forces!

Zhong Liqing must have already escaped. What should I do?

Will the Tang Clan... eliminate us completely and kill us?

Damn!

Last night, I clearly sent someone to inquire about the situation, and Tang Qianqiu had already left Xingluo City.

Why is he back again?!

why? !

"You..." A slightly aged figure suddenly appeared in the palace. When he saw Dai Yuansheng, who was sitting on the throne with the Prime Minister's sword stuck in his chest and had already lost his breath, his pupils shrank sharply, his aura became chaotic, and his tone instantly rose, "You killed His Majesty!"

It was the chief retainer who rushed back after Tang Qianqiu made his move.

However, it was too late.

"Greetings, Venerable Zhou." Xu Changling bowed slightly.

"Xu Changling!" The Zhou-surname retainer could barely contain his anger. "We used to share the same political views, and I have treated you well. Why are you trying to frame me?"

"This junior did not implicate Zhou Gongfeng in any unjust way." Xu Changling gave a bitter smile. "I was simply forced into this situation and had no other choice."

"The Dai family has done me a great favor, yet I failed to protect His Majesty. What else could this be but injustice?"

“Zhou Gongfeng, the Dai family is the Dai family, and Dai Yuansheng is Dai Yuansheng. The two cannot be equated.” Xu Changling’s expression turned solemn. “The Prince of Zhendong is also a descendant of the Dai family.”

"You..." Zhou Gongfeng's angry expression faltered, then slowly faded, replaced by a thoughtful look. "So, you're doing this to ensure the Prince of Zhendong's ascension to the throne?"

This Zhou Gongfeng was recruited by the royal family to become a Gongfeng because he had received great favors from the Dai family in the past. However, he also had many opinions about Dai Yuansheng becoming emperor, and his previous actions were within the scope of his duties as the chief Gongfeng.

If Xu Changling wants to establish himself as king, he will have to deal with this junior whom he used to have a good impression of because of the debt of gratitude he owes him.

But if the goal is for the Prince of Zhendong to succeed to the throne... this doesn't seem like something that can't be discussed.

Since the Prince of Zhendong is also a member of the Dai family, it's just an internal power struggle within the Dai family, so he doesn't need to get involved.

"Yes."

Upon receiving Xu Changling's affirmative reply, Zhou Gongfeng's expression softened. He glanced at Qian Chenhai, whose face was constantly changing, and said, "The Spirit Hall should not be restored, but that is not my concern. Be careful."

"I'm taking His Majesty's remains with me."

After saying this, Zhou Gongfeng carefully picked up Dai Yuansheng's body, and in a flash, he took away the dying Guardian Douluo and disappeared from the hall.

With the disappearance of Zhou Gongfeng, the main hall fell silent once again.

"Xu Changling! It's you!" Qian Chenhai seemed to have figured something out, his face turning ferocious like a demon. "You're the one who called Tang Qianqiu back, aren't you!"

Although Xu Changling's actions were extremely secretive, Qian Chenhai still sensed something was amiss while searching his memories, and followed the clues to find the real culprit.

"Ah! Die!" At this moment, Qian Chenhai's heart was completely filled with hatred. The nine soul rings behind him reappeared, and the light and shadow of the six-winged angel drew his sword and slashed towards Xu Changling.

The Overlord Blade Douluo's higher soul power level compensated for his lack of martial soul, making him nearly as strong as Qian Chenhai. However, facing Qian Chenhai's full-force attack, his reaction was a beat too slow, leaving him vulnerable. His expression changed drastically as he cried out, "Lord Xu, retreat!"

He was finding it difficult to stop them.

The aftershocks of two Title Douluo-level individuals attacking at full power were enough to annihilate a Soul Saint.

"Hey…"

Xu Changling sighed softly, and around him, it was as if the stars in the sky were floating, faintly transforming into a crown above his head, with countless stars shining brightly.

Nine spirit rings slowly emerged behind him.

Yellow, purple, black, black, black, black!

The ferocious rage on Qian Chenhai's face suddenly froze, his eyes filled with disbelief, "Nine Rings!"

"How do you have the strength of a ninth-ring expert?!"

Impossible! This is impossible!

Two years ago, Xu Changling made a move, but at that time he only showed his strength at the Soul Saint level and had only seven Soul Rings.

Seven rings, becoming nine rings in two years?

How can it be!

"I just happened to have mastered a secret technique for concealing soul rings." Xu Changling smiled slightly, and in the next instant, countless starlight rushed towards Qian Chenhai.

The starlight transformed into a cage, completely imprisoning Qian Chenhai, rendering him unable to move an inch.

With a low shout, the Overlord Blade Douluo's long sword instantly transformed into hundreds of meters in length under the illumination of his seventh spirit ring, and he slashed straight at Qian Chenhai.

With his Martial Soul True Form unleashed, this strike was almost the full power of the Overlord Blade Douluo.

"Aaaaaah!" Qian Chenhai almost gritted his teeth to pieces. His eyes shone with a light that was impossible to look at directly. Golden flames burned fiercely on his body, and even the six-winged angel behind him, which was a hundred meters tall, was covered in blood. The six pure white wings behind him also turned blood red in an instant.

This is a secret technique of the six-winged angel clan. With a brief burst of power, Qian Chenhai suddenly broke free from the shackles of starlight and swung his sword as if to split the heavens and earth in two, facing the edge of the longsword of the Overlord Blade Douluo.

"Heh..." Blood trickled from the corner of Qian Chenhai's mouth. "So what if I add a level 91 Title Douluo to my team? What can you do to me?"

"Oh? Then... how about adding me too?"

A faint voice came from behind. Qian Chenhai turned around abruptly and saw a "kill" character, hundreds of meters in size, suddenly appear between heaven and earth. The pale golden "kill" character seemed to be filled with endless killing intent, making people feel suffocated.

A magnificent white tiger image instantly appeared, its red and blue eyes radiating the majesty of the king of beasts.

"White Tiger... Annihilation Strike!"
