Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 294 Xu Tianxi: Give me some time, and I will uproot Xu Tianran completely.

Beneath the underground palace, Xu Guozhong made outrageous remarks, only to be caught red-handed by Xu Tianxi and his three companions who were waiting in advance.

After a series of attacks by the ambush team, Xu Guozhong, a level nine soul master, was seriously injured and knelt on the ground. Xiao Hongchen, who had come to join the fun as a reporter, was furious. He rolled up his sleeves, reached out, and started punching and kicking Xu Guozhong from both sides, determined to vent his anger.

It's true that our Hongchen family are Xu family's employees, but we are top-tier employees. In the future, we will be able to enter the Hall of Worship and secretly control the affairs of the empire!

You, Prince Xu, dare to lay a hand on our Hongchen family? Believe me, we'll rebel when we get back and show you! If we don't cripple you, I'm not a Hongchen!

Xu Tianxi did not stop Xiao Hongchen at all. He used Xiao Hongchen's camera soul tool to record the video and cheered loudly from the side.

"This punch missed its mark. Move it another five centimeters towards your dantian."

"That kick wasn't powerful enough; if it had been a few more points, it could have broken two more bones... The last shot was pretty good, perfectly timed, breaking his thigh without killing him."

A profound and boundless spiritual force, seemingly forming its own world, was released from Xu Tianxi's eyes, scanning Xu Guozhong's weaknesses from all angles and simultaneously transmitting it to Xiao Hongchen through his mental thoughts.

The million-year soul ring of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm only granted him the Soul Skill of Martial Soul True Body, but this did not prevent Xu Tianxi from researching mental detection and mental sharing abilities.

In fact, mental detection ability is a basic ability for high-level mental soul masters. Only mental sharing is relatively advanced. However, with mental power at Xu Tianxi's level, it is not difficult to stuff some images into other people's heads.

Too little force results in sharing, too much force results in attack; the key lies in grasping and applying the appropriate degree.

With the shared spiritual energy, Xiao Hongchen fought with increasing gusto, his slaps becoming rounder and his punches more spirited, feeling his blood boiling as he burned.

In the end, he pulled out a high-heat cannon, fired at Xu Guozhong's good leg, and gave him the same skin as the Sun and Moon Prince for free.

"Boom——!"

Hundreds of meters underground, the soundproofing equipment that Xu Guozhong had built himself prevented the huge commotion of the shell explosion from reaching the surface, and even the soundproofing soul guide that Xu Tianxi had brought out was of little use.

Xu Guozhong, who was hit by six punches in a second and cannons slamming into his legs in quick succession, immediately experienced a thrilling sensation. His vision went black, and he wished he could just fall asleep and never wake up again.

Even now, he still doesn't understand why these people appeared in his underground palace to ambush him, nor does he understand why they dared to treat him like this.
Do they not see the majesty of imperial power at all? Are young people willing to do anything?

Having vented his anger, Xiao Hongchen put away his cannon and stood aside, giving Xu Tianxi a gesture that it was all over.

Xu Tianxi smiled and nodded, stepped forward, and ignoring the complex thoughts in Xu Guozhong's mind, stomped hard on his chest, venting his anger for Jing Hongchen, and then coldly said:
"Open your eyes if you don't want to die."

Xu Guozhong wanted to live, so he quickly regained consciousness, opened his eyes, and saw a young and handsome face.

"You, you are Marquis Kong Tianxi? Why are you doing this to me..."

"I have never tolerated any injustice. My Bright Soul Guard takes it upon myself to safeguard the safety of the Sun Moon Empire, and I especially cannot tolerate evil soul masters and traitors like you!"
Today, I suspected you might be a threat to the pillar of the empire, the Master of the Red Dust Hall, so I specially brought men to arrest you. We had just found some stolen goods when you delivered yourself right to my doorstep.

Xu Tianxi's expression was cold and stern, his eyes sharp as knives, and every word he uttered was an attack on Xu Guozhong's psychological defenses.

He possessed a special soul skill, perfect for interrogation, but had never used it before. Xu Guozhong was a Title Douluo, so to be on the safe side, Xu Tianxi decided to cripple Xu Guozhong first, making it easier to break his mental will.

Xu Guozhong was stunned by Xu Tianxi's words about arresting someone without any evidence. He raised his still-struggling fingers and said in a trembling voice, "For a mere suspicion, you dared to lead your men into my underground palace and let Xiao Hongchen abuse his power to break my legs?!"

"Kong Tianxi, do you still have any respect for the royal family? How dare you offend the royal family like this! Aren't you afraid that this matter will be exposed and His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince will punish you?! What kind of organization do you think your Minghun Guard is, daring to lay a hand on me!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianxi revealed a very amused expression and said, "I am also a member of the royal family. How come I don't feel offended? So what if you are a royal prince? In my eyes, you are not much different from those evil soul masters, and you are even more despicable than them!"

"Does a royal prince have the same unbridled ability to leech off the nation and enrich himself at the expense of the public? Does a royal prince have the same ability to deliberately frame a pillar of the nation?"

“You people are born into wealth and luxury, yet you neither strive for progress nor know how to waste taxpayers’ money by simply loafing around and waiting to die. How can you do this? Do you deserve the hard-earned money you consume?”

Xu Tianxi pressed hard against Xu Guozhong's chest, sensing the violent fluctuations in the other's mental will. He then sneered and continued:

"Let me tell you! I got this position as Commander of the Minghun Guard from Master Kong. I took this position to deal with you parasites! Either you behave yourselves and behave yourselves, or I will confiscate your property, exterminate your families, and send you to the battlefield!"

"I have the right to execute first and report later. This is my Minghun Guard! Either kneel down and hand over money to the national treasury, or die!"

After saying that, Xu Tianxi suddenly exerted force with his feet, controlling the energy to flow into Xu Guozhong's bone marrow in an extremely precise direction, and the cracking sound of bones breaking immediately rose and fell.

"Whoa~ Pfft—!"

Xu Guozhong screamed repeatedly, coughing up large amounts of blood, his throat emitting a suffocating roar like a wild beast.

“It’s time.” Xu Tianxi nodded to himself, and halos of brilliant colors rose up from beneath his feet.

Four black, two orange, and one platinum—a total of seven spirit rings that were completely beyond the norm swirled around him. A nine-colored halo rose from him and condensed into a silver behemoth more than fifteen meters long, with a dragon's head and a wolf's body, and was extremely majestic.

Between the dragon's horns, nine-colored streams of energy rose, seemingly containing abundant elemental power, dazzling and mesmerizing.

Behind them, Xiao Hongchen, who was stunned, almost bumped into the hind legs of the giant beast. He dodged to the left and right a few steps and involuntarily opened his mouth wide.

Old Xu's spirit must be the former Silver Moon Wolf King, right? How come it has changed so much in just two years?
"Little Silver, join me in using Thousand Eyes Soul Absorption on him to destroy his mental defenses," Xu Tianxi said to the person behind him, beckoning the transformed Silver Moon Dragon Wolf King to join the attack.

"Awooo~wooo~!" The Silver Moon Dragon Wolf King responded to Xu Tianxi with a roar, the sound waves transforming into tangible energy that distorted space and surged toward Xu Guozhong.

Xu Tianxi's eyes suddenly released a silver moon-shaped wave-like spiritual intent, which also surged towards Xu Guozhong's head, and his sixth soul ring shone and pulsed around him.

Xu Guozhong immediately let out an even more painful growl, clutching his head and crying out in pain, his face contorted in a frightening manner.

A moment later, Xu Guozhong stopped struggling, and two silver lights appeared in his dull eyes. Upon closer inspection, they were the shadowy imprints of a dragon and a wolf.

Xu Tianxi lifted his legs and tried to say in a commanding tone, "Get up."

Xu Guozhong did as instructed, struggling to stand up with his bloodied lower body, his face respectful.

Xu Tianxi nodded slightly; the soul skill had taken effect.

He applied some water element to Xu Guozhong to stop the bleeding, then waved to Xiao Hongchen and Gu Zhaoqiu behind him, signaling them to come over: "Alright, you can ask now."

Xiao Hongchen strode forward, looked Xu Guozhong up and down, and clicked his tongue in amazement, saying, "You've got it all done? What soul skill did you use?"

Xu Tianxi replied with "Don't worry," and introduced, "My sixth soul skill, Thousand Eyes Soul Capture, originates from the Silver Moon Wolf King's talent for manipulating the wolf pack. It is a very special and rare mental control soul skill."

When casting this spell, actively release your mental energy. It invades the target's mental sea, like thousands of dragons and wolves growling in the target's ears and mind, radiating dragon might and shattering their will.

"Theoretically, my soul skill can control targets whose mental will is one level lower than mine, but I've never tried it before."

"I wasn't very confident about using it on a Title Douluo the first time. Title Douluos have strong mental and physical strength, so after you crippled him, I dealt him a heavy blow in both mental and physical terms to ensure that nothing went wrong."

“His pupils have a silver dragon-wolf brand, which is a sign that I have control over him. If he forcibly breaks free from control, the brand will detonate a portion of his mental power, causing confusion or even mental breakdown.”

"Now his mind is under my control. He can ask whatever he wants to know, and I guarantee it will be absolutely true."

Xiao Hongchen was astonished by the ability Xu Tianxi described: "With such a powerful soul skill, won't you be able to attack whomever you want in the future?"

Xu Tianxi shook his head, indicating that you were overthinking it: "This soul skill still has quite a few limitations. Generally, it requires advance preparation and a certain period of time. Unless you encounter someone with a huge difference in mental strength, I cannot control the enemy in battle."

"In addition, this soul skill of mine originated from Little Silver after its transformation. Among the dragon race, bloodline is paramount, so this ability of mine is ineffective against soul beasts or soul masters with powerful dragon bloodlines."

"That's good, otherwise it would have scared people to death." Xiao Hongchen patted his chest. Fortunately, Xu Tianxi's ability wasn't very useful in actual combat, otherwise they wouldn't need to fight anymore and could just watch Xu Tianxi remotely control things.

With a slight shift in his eyes, Xiao Hongchen retrieved his photographic soul tool from Xu Tianxi's arms, waving his hand with a smile and urging him on:
"Time is short, so hurry up and ask. I'll record the whole thing for you; it might come in handy later."

“Alright.” Xu Tianxi nodded, turned his gaze to Xu Guozhong, and said coldly, “Tell us all the spies and traitors you have in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Mingde Hall. Tell us what you did after you defected to Xu Tian two years ago, and all the intelligence information you know that is detrimental to Mingde Hall.”

"Yes, Dragon Lord." Xu Guozhong nodded mechanically and began to answer Xu Tianxi's question in a completely emotionless tone.

He talked about his mole planted in Mingde Hall, the search for the Conferred God Platform, and Xu Tianran's request for him to find the intelligence and submit it. Xu Tianran would then issue a bounty on the original Three Kingdoms Adventurers' Association to lure the top experts of the original Three Kingdoms to attack Mingde Hall, so as to take the opportunity to suppress and consolidate the power of the Mirror Red Dust faction...

Finally, he added that he and Xu Tianran had recently ordered their men to investigate the location of Mingdetang's important research projects so they could sell these things to the former Three Kingdoms powerhouses and teach the arrogant Jing Hongchen a lesson...

As early as when Xu Guozhong revealed Xu Tianran's entire plan, Xiao Hongchen had the urge to kill; by the time Xu Guozhong finished speaking, his face was already as cold as ice.

He silently noted all of this down and said to Xu Tianxi, whose expression was equally cold and aloof, "Whatever you say, I'll do it your way."

Xu Tianxi pressed his chest, closed his eyes, and let out a long breath. He said, word by word, "Give me some time, and I will uproot Xu Tianran and his gang!"

"Okay." Xiao Hongchen put away the photographic soul guide device and silently stood aside.

Xu Tianxi calmed himself down and said to Gu Yuena, who had been watching the show for a while, "It's your turn to make a move. Change his memory and make him forget everything that happened tonight."

Gu Yuena nodded slightly and pressed on, "Then how do you explain his injuries?"

Xu Tianxi's eyes flashed coldly as he said in a deep voice, "He was playing with a soul-guided device in his underground palace when he accidentally detonated an eighth-level fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell, causing the palace to collapse. He broke his leg and was seriously injured, on the verge of death!"

Gu Yuena said "Oh," and continued, "But I've never seen an eighth-level fixed-position soul-guided cannon explode. What should I do?"

Xu Tianxi took out a cannonball from his storage ring and said with a faint smile, "You'll see soon enough."

"Old Xiao, pack up the things. There are quite a few treasures in his underground palace. Pick out a few good ones to show your respect to the Dean."

"okay!"

A moment later, the teachers and students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy heard a thunderous sound from the ground, as if a huge amount of heat was surging up from the ground.

In the Hall of Offerings, Jing Hongchen, who was reporting on her duties with Kong Deming, suddenly stood up, looking surprised and uncertain, and asked, "Was there an earthquake near the academy?"
