"Your Highness, run! I'll cover you! Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Body!!"

Seeing this, Ge Long mustered his courage, roared, and activated his Martial Soul True Body without hesitation.

A gigantic Yazi soared into the air, and Ge Long's body shone brightly. He immediately mobilized all his soul power, transforming into a streak of light and rushing towards Bone Douluo, trying to create a path to survival for Xue Ye and the others.

Unfortunately, although Golong was a powerful Soul Saint, he was facing a Title Douluo who stood at the pinnacle of the Soul Master world.

"Ha, a mere seven spirit rings, yet you dare to try and shake a tree?"

Before Bone Douluo, Goron's resistance was as powerless as an infant's.

With a slight raise of his hand, Gu Rong unleashed a powerful surge of soul energy that relentlessly suppressed Go Long.

Golong felt as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on his body, and he couldn't move an inch no matter how hard he tried.

"Pfft!!"

A sharp bone spike suddenly pierced through the ground and went straight through Goron's chest with lightning speed.

Goron's eyes widened instantly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with resentment and anger.

The bone spurs disappeared, his body slowly collapsed, his life force rapidly vanished, and he died on the spot.

"General Goron!!"

Overwhelmed with grief on that snowy night, tears and anger mingled in his eyes.

"Your Highness, let's go quickly!!"

However, he had no time to grieve. Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhilin knew the importance and urgency of the situation. They suppressed their grief and, while being surrounded by enemies, protected Xueye and continued to look for an opportunity to break through.

Guangling Douluo fixed his gaze on Xue Ye, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The fifth spirit ring beneath his feet shone brightly, and dense spirit power surged into the Light Feather Divine Bow in his hand.

Guangling slowly pulled back the bowstring.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Unending Arrival."

With a low shout, Guangling's left eye revealed layers upon layers of snowflake indicators, unfolding like the precise lens of a sniper rifle.

In his eyes, the rapidly beating heart of the snowy night was reflected.

Immediately afterwards, he abruptly released his attack, and an arrow gleaming with a chilling light shot out like a meteor.

Wherever the arrow passed, the air instantly froze into ice, and icicles flew outwards like sharp blades.

Even more bizarrely, it seemed to possess its own consciousness, skillfully bypassing everyone around it and heading straight for the snowy night with unstoppable momentum.

On a snowy night locked by arrows, the whole world seemed to turn gray and white. In the silent gray and white world, despair surged into the heart of the snowy night.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Body!" x3

Upon seeing this, the three education commissioners' expressions changed drastically, and they activated their Martial Soul True Forms without hesitation.

In an instant, Bai Baoshan's Heavenly Star Furnace grew taller in the wind, its body radiating a dazzling light, and a layer of soul power shield enveloped the group.

Zhilin pressed one hand to the ground, and countless thick and tough vines surged out of the ground like dragons, intertwining and forming an impenetrable green barrier.

The surface of the Azure Vine shimmered with a layer of green soul power shield, like an indestructible armor.

Meng Shenji also dared not slack off in the slightest, and the Black Demon Martial Soul possessed him.

Centered on his body, a thick layer of black mist rapidly spread outwards, within which grotesque demonic shadows could be seen moving about, emitting chilling roars.

Soul power condensed into a thick black light curtain, like a huge shield, completely protecting the snowy night.

However, the power of Guangling's arrow, which contained the power of extreme ice, was truly terrifying.

The arrow, carrying endless chill, easily pierced through the Heavenly Star Furnace's defenses, and then crashed into Zhilin's green vine barrier with unstoppable momentum.

The emerald green vines were instantly frozen by the impact of the extreme ice power, becoming as brittle as glass. They broke apart at the slightest touch, turning into countless fragments that scattered in the air.

Finally, the arrow hurtled towards the black light barrier of the Dream God Machine without any hindrance.

The black light curtain, under the impact of the extreme ice power, was as fragile as paper and shattered instantly, turning into specks of black starlight that dissipated.

The next second, the arrow pierced through the heart of the snowy night with perfect accuracy.

The power of extreme ice instantly spread throughout his body, and a thick layer of ice quickly condensed on his body surface.

Xueye's eyes widened, filled with resentment and anger. His lips trembled slightly as he tried to shout, but he only spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with ice shards.

Immediately afterwards, his body, like a frozen sculpture, fell straight backward, crashing heavily onto the cold ground, sending up a spray of ice shards.

"Your Highness!!"

The three education commissioners cried out in despair at the same time.

They watched helplessly as the prince collapsed before their eyes.

The palace square was deathly silent, with only the extreme chill and towering flames telling the story of the thrilling battle that had just taken place.

Xueye's death also foreshadowed that the balance of power in this palace coup had completely tipped in Xuexing's favor.

Chapter 99 Death on a Snowy Night, Imperial Power in Disturbance

"Haha, hahaha, hahahaha!!!"

Xue Xing threw his head back and laughed. He watched as his elder brother Xue Ye died under the arrow of the Light Feather Douluo. There was no sadness in his eyes. Instead, his eyes shone with fanaticism and excitement.

Laughter echoed across the blood-soaked palace square, revealing boundless madness.

"Big brother, big brother, you have finally been defeated by me. From this day forward, the throne of the Heavenly Dou Empire is mine! Hahaha!!"

Xue Xing was trembling with excitement, her hands raised high and her fists clenched, as if she could already feel the supreme imperial power falling into her palm.

Imagine yourself about to ascend the throne and receive the worship of all people.

For years, he endured in the shadows of snowy nights, frantically performing the role of a wise prince assisting his brother, while concealing his insane desire for the throne.

Now that Xueye is dead, all obstacles have been removed, and he is only one step away from the throne—no, it's already a foregone conclusion.

Xue Xing laughed wildly to the side, immersed in his dream of ascending to the pinnacle of power, while Gu Han and Ning Fengzhi beside him secretly sneered in their hearts.

A hint of disdain and contempt flashed in Gu Han's eyes as he thought to himself, "This Xue Xing is truly foolish to the extreme. She thinks that everything will be fine once she ascends the throne, but she doesn't realize that she is just a pawn in the hands of the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, being manipulated at will."

However, this is for the best. If the other party is wise and genuinely willing to assist Xueye in governing the country, they will have no opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Ning Fengzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips, as he secretly plotted his next move.

"The reason we supported such an idiot to the throne is because he is easy to control. Once he has secured his position, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Spirit Hall can gradually infiltrate and eventually usurp the Heaven Dou Empire, making it ours."

At this point, Bibi Dong was still, after all, a kind-hearted girl.

The horrific scene unfolding in the palace square before her eyes filled her with unease, and a look of sorrow and pity involuntarily appeared in her eyes.

The blood everywhere, the corpses lying haphazardly, the wails all around, and the frozen body in the snow all made her feel incredibly sorry for the person.

Bibi Dong recalled the anecdotes and stories about power struggles that her junior brother had told her, and those cruel scenes overlapped with the scene before her eyes.

She knew all too well that in the vortex of power, being soft-hearted would only lead her to utter ruin.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the reluctance in her heart, and sighed inwardly: "The struggle for power is so bloody and ruthless, making people feel powerless when they are involved."

Despite feeling helpless and emotional, Bibi Dong understood that as the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, she had already embarked on this thorny path to power and had no choice but to continue.

She clenched her fists tightly, her eyes gradually hardening, as if declaring to this cruel world that she would no longer be swayed by pity and sympathy, but would become the one who wields power.

Having spent many years together, Gu Han keenly sensed the turmoil in Bibi Dong's heart. He turned slightly to the side, extended his warm, large hand, and gently enveloped Bibi Dong's small hand, which had turned slightly white from being tightly clenched.

His hands were firm and strong, as if conveying an invisible power.

Gu Han turned his head and smiled slightly at Bibi Dong, a smile full of tenderness and encouragement.

In that instant, a warm current flowed through Bibi Dong's heart.

In this cold and brutal power struggle, this touch of warmth is especially precious.

Bibi Dong looked up at Gu Han, and as their eyes met, she saw unwavering support and trust in his eyes.

At this moment, Bibi Dong realized that she was not alone on this thorny path.

She also has a close junior brother who walks alongside her.

With their combined wisdom and strength, these two siblings will surely overcome all obstacles and bring the entire continent to their knees.

Thinking of this, a burning light shone in Bibi Dong's eyes. She gripped Gu Han's hand tightly in return, responding to the sentiment he conveyed.

In fact, it wasn't just Gu Han comforting Bibi Dong; Bibi Dong was also silently encouraging Gu Han.

Standing in this ever-changing imperial palace, witnessing the chaotic and bloody scene before him, Gu Han, a young man who had received a great education in his previous life, felt a mix of emotions.

This could be considered the first time he had actively schemed against others. The lives that fell because of his plans weighed heavily on his heart like a stone, filling him with an indescribable sense of guilt.

He is not a cruel person by nature, but now he has actively participated in and planned this bloody power struggle.

He agreed to participate in the coup with Xue Xing for two reasons. One was the Sea God's Heart, which was stored in the Heavenly Dou Treasury. Even if he wasn't chosen, he needed to have it in his own hands to feel at ease.

On the other hand, as a disciple of the Pope of the Spirit Hall, he was undoubtedly a core figure of the Spirit Hall.

Those in a position should fulfill their duties.

For the sake of the Spirit Hall's grand ambitions and to ensure its absolute dominance over this continent, he had to harden his heart.

In this power struggle, if the Spirit Hall does not take the initiative, it will inevitably collapse amidst the competition among various forces, just like in the original story.

On this continent, the Heavenly Dou and Star Luo are fraught with conflict, and the Spirit Hall, caught in the middle, suffers unimaginable hatred. If they do not want the Spirit Hall to be defeated in the future by the so-called Chosen One uniting all the forces on the continent, they must act accordingly.

Before that, we must first trample all the forces on the mainland under our feet.

Moreover, he knew that in order to achieve complete peace on the mainland, it was necessary to unify the mainland.

Only by unifying the entire continent will the wars between nations cease, leaving only livelihood issues, which can be resolved gradually.

Gu Han knew the importance of unification, but it was impossible to unify the entire Douluo Continent peacefully. The only option was to use overwhelming force, just like the Qin Dynasty in his previous life, to sweep across the world.

Even with numerous reasons in his heart, the guilt lingered, but Gu Han suppressed it fiercely, whispering to himself:

"Everything is for the Spirit Hall, for the future of the continent to be completely peaceful, and for the glory of the Spirit Hall..."

At this time, inside the palace, the Crown Prince's Imperial Guards had been completely annihilated, with only the three Education Commissioners, Meng Shenji, Zhilin, and Bai Baoshan, escaping unscathed.

However, their soul power had been completely sealed by the Light Feather Douluo, their bodies were tightly bound by ropes, and they were forced to kneel down in front of Gu Han and the others.

Xue Xing stared at the three education committee members with special status, her mind racing, and the idea of ​​recruiting them arose in her mind, attempting to add a significant stroke to her legitimacy.
