Douluo: Star Crown Glory

Chapter 86 The Arrival of the Sun and Moon Emperor
The Ninth Elder's injuries were gradually getting better. The First Elder sensed the increase in the number of patrols in the city and knew that he could not wait any longer.

"Old Nine, get ready, we are going to break out now."

A team of soldiers in golden armor were patrolling the outskirts of Sunrise City. They knew they were looking for two wanted criminals, but starting with the Lord of Sunrise City, no one was very serious about this mission.

These little soldiers followed suit and just walked around the streets every day, which was equivalent to punching in for work.

"Captain, how long do you think we should blockade Sunrise City? We are running short of supplies in the city."

"I don't know. I heard that we have to wait for the big shot to come, but I don't know who it is."

"Big shot? Who is that?"

"Why are you asking so many questions? Hurry up and finish patrolling this street. Let's go drink."

The two elders hiding in the dark listened to the conversation of the soldiers, and their hearts sank. A big shot must be at least a top Soul Douluo. If they wait for him to arrive, it will be even more difficult for them to leave.

The Great Elder's thoughts were a little dazed. In the hundred years before he came to the Sun-Moon Continent, he never imagined that one day after he became a Titled Douluo, he would be hunted down by a group of Soul Douluos.

More than ten days ago, after he and the Ninth Elder escaped from Mingdu, they were preparing to go to Yuejian Mountains to meet up with Xu Mingxi, but they were unexpectedly intercepted halfway.

The Great Elder originally thought that the person who intercepted him was a Soul Douluo and that he could quickly deal with him before leaving. However, he did not expect that this Soul Douluo had a soul power of up to level eighty-nine and, with his level eight soul guide, he was able to hold the Great Elder back.

In just a moment, the pursuers arrived in flying soul guides, and the first and ninth elders were surrounded.

In the end, it was the Ninth Elder who, despite being injured, briefly controlled the leading soul master, and the Great Elder used his ninth soul skill to open a way of survival.

The two men fled into the Risheng City and blended in with the residents. They thought that this would intimidate the Sun-Moon Empire's army and give them a chance to catch their breath.

However, they did not expect that just when the two were planning to recover from their injuries and find a chance to leave, a soul guide shield rose above Risheng City and trapped them in the city.

As the golden-armored soldiers left, the Great Elder also focused his mind on the blue soul guide shield not far away. His martial soul was activated, and his ninth soul ring flickered.

The air around him was surging, and the stars in the night sky were scattered, as if endless points of light were converging above his head.

Such a strange sight naturally attracted the attention of the soldiers guarding the city. Warning soul-guided fireworks bloomed in the air, and all the powerful soul saints and above in Risheng City began to gather here.

Before they arrived, the Great Elder's attack had already been launched. His ninth soul skill, Great Wilderness Starfall, directly tore a large hole in the soul guide shield and completely destroyed this section of the city wall.

The roar of the explosion resounded throughout the city. The two elders jumped up and rushed out of the city. The first elder looked back while fleeing for his life. Although the pursuers were still far away, they were getting closer. His already ugly face became even gloomier.

This damn soul guide, the Great Elder couldn't help but curse in his heart. It was like this before. These Soul Douluos driving soul guides flew faster than him, a Titled Douluo.

Fortunately, night is the home turf of the Star Crown Martial Spirit. The Great Elder has greatly improved both his speed and endurance, and will not be caught up in a short time. He and the Ninth Elder began to flee to the Demon Forest, intending to borrow the soul beasts there to completely get rid of the pursuers.

Xu Mingxi and his companions rushed to Risheng City but were still a step behind. Seeing the broken city wall and the chaotic Risheng City, Xu Mingxi felt violent. After capturing the official who was maintaining order at the scene and forcing him to reveal the whereabouts of the two elders and killing them, the two quickly headed towards the Demonic Forest.

At this moment, Xu Mingxi's heart was filled with anxiety and fear. No matter in his previous life or in this life, he had never experienced the death of a loved one. Even though he was accustomed to life and death in this life, this was different after all.

"Grandpa, you must wait for me."

……

On the other side, as time went by, there were only a few high-level Soul Douluos left in the pursuit, but the Ninth Elder's soul power was almost exhausted.

The Great Elder's soul power had been consumed by more than half. He carried the Ninth Elder on his back and ran wildly towards the Demon Forest. He no longer felt disgusted with the soul guide, but instead felt an infinite yearning for it.

If he also had a flying soul guide like the pursuers, they would definitely not be able to catch up with him.

"Great Elder, please go on your own and leave me alone."

"Old Nine, what are you talking about? Our Xingguan Sect will not give up any of our disciples. Just hold on a little longer, the Demonic Forest will be here soon."

The Great Elder was madly squeezing out the soul power in his body. Seeing that the Demon Forest was right before their eyes, how could they give up?

Suddenly, he felt a huge crisis coming from behind. He had no time to turn around and threw the Ninth Elder out in panic. He wanted to leave but was still a step too late.

A purple divine light filled with destruction passed by and completely annihilated the Great Elder's left arm, without leaving even a trace.

Using his soul power to temporarily stop the bleeding from the wound, the Great Elder forced himself to turn around, and saw a powerful figure descending from the sky and shooting a purple light at the Ninth Elder in the distance with a flick of his finger.

"Do not!!"

The Great Elder used up the last of his soul power, and the fourth soul ring lit up, expanding the Star Guardian to its maximum. The purple light collided with the Star Guardian, stirring up a large amount of smoke and dust.

The Ninth Elder was saved temporarily, but the First Elder, with his severely injured body, fought with all his might, which only added insult to injury. He couldn't help but spit out blood again, his face turned pale as paper, and his breath instantly weakened.

The Ninth Elder, who had calmed down, slowly walked over and helped the First Elder up. The two of them calmly looked at the man standing in the sky, with his purple hair fluttering and his whole body full of majesty.

Xu Mingxi has already obtained the opportunity to become a god, and their purpose of coming to the Sun and Moon Continent has been achieved. Compared to death, they are more afraid that Xu Mingxi will suddenly rush out, but he will not be a match for the man in front of them.

The Great Elder watched as the three high-level Soul Douluos who had been chasing them caught up, controlled their flying soul guides to land under the man, knelt on one knee and called him "Your Majesty". He knew that he was most likely doomed this time.

He could feel that the soul power level of the Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire in front of him was similar to his own, both at level ninety-two. However, the long period of escape had left his soul power at rock bottom, and he was seriously injured by the sneak attack just now. Now he didn't have the strength to fight back.

The Great Elder suddenly sneered. If he had known earlier, he would have stayed in Risheng City instead of running away. He could have used his ultimate move to drag a few Soul Douluos into the water and let half of the people in the city be buried with him. He would not have been chased to this point by a few Soul Douluos. It would be a joke if others told about it.
