Douluo Continent: All I Do Is Destroy Rings is Skill.

Chapter 365 What was the real assassination attempt?

"Success or failure hinges on tonight!"

While Ning Wuque was playing games with his two beautiful wives at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, an assassination attempt, meticulously planned but already detected, was unfolding in Mingdu.

As night fell, the hundred-man assassination squad led by Zhang Lexuan had surrounded the imperial palace of the Sun Moon Empire.

The process went exceptionally smoothly, so smoothly that—

"Yuhao, are you sure your mental detection won't make a mistake?"

"Zhang Lexuan, my mental detection is only impervious to space. Even if you are invisible, you cannot hide in it. Under my mental scan, almost all disguises will be exposed! Don't doubt my professionalism."

Inside the main assassination squad, Huo Yuhao, standing next to Zhang Lexuan, held Vina tightly with one hand and replied with a displeased expression.

Zhang Lexuan preferred to believe that his mental detection had a problem rather than to speculate whether Xu Tiantang had discovered or sensed something.

The quiet and smooth journey made everyone think that the assassination attempt had likely been discovered by Xu Tianran, as the defenses here were far too weak! It was as if this was not a royal palace, but an ordinary noble's villa, and their strongest defense force was themselves.

"I believe in Junior Brother Yuhao's abilities. Be ready to fight at any time. Try not to activate your Martial Soul True Body in this battle. I have a bad feeling about it."

"Yes, my Martial Soul True Body must also be reserved for covering our retreat. Xu Sanshi, do you remember our plan?"

"certainly!"

Nodding emphatically, Xu Sanshi changed his usual carefree demeanor and tightly gripped Jiang Nannan's soft, boneless hand with his left hand, just like Huo Yuhao, his palms sweating profusely.

He wasn't afraid or timid; he was just worried that he wouldn't be able to protect Jiang Nannan's safety.

He originally didn't plan to involve Jiang Nannan in this assassination operation. As an ordinary Soul Emperor, she wasn't of much use, so it wouldn't matter whether she came or not. It was better for her to stay in the rear and be ready to evacuate at any time.

Just like Princess Xu Jiujiu of Xingluo, although their Xingluo Empire also participated in this assassination operation, Xu Jiujiu had no intention of getting involved at all, and stayed in the rear support force, ready to evacuate Mingdu at any time.

However, Jiang Nannan said, "I have an invincible golden body, which can help Sister Lexuan resist interference or protect her to evacuate at critical moments."

With this sentence as the core, Jiang Nannan, through repeated explanations and rhetoric, became a member of the core assassination team.

"Heh, so many people have come? And they're all carefully wearing matching black robes to conceal their identities."

"Your Majesty, should we take action?"

Beside Xu Tianran, Ju Zi looked at the information transmitted from the Eye of Death while asking him for instructions.

The Eye of Death is a military soul tool that can be used for both detection and high-altitude strikes, and its lowest soul tool level is already level seven! It belongs to the category of "fixed-equipment" soul tools.

At this moment, the eight level-eight Death Eyes had taken in the entire view of the palace. Under the cover of night, their only red lights were protected by the darkness like stars, and the soul-guided cannons on them were already quietly aimed at the assassins below.

"No rush—we can wait until those old guys can't resist making their move first. The night view should be exceptionally beautiful tonight. Orange, how about we go to the balcony to admire the moon?"

-

Sitting in his wheelchair, Xu Tianran extended his hand to Ju Zi, extending an invitation.

The latter calmly accepted the invitation, but there was still some worry in his voice: "But Your Majesty, what if those people really hurt you? Soul skills are unpredictable. Even though the entire palace can activate the soul guide shield at any time, it is hard to guarantee that the other party does not have any targeted methods."

"Orange, you know what? I really envy those young people who can step onto the stage and perform to their heart's content at the best age. Tonight is my stage. Before success, a moment of arrogance and pride is the best manifestation of self-confidence."

Xu Tianran stretched out his hand, and his finger shook in Ju Zi's eyes.

Helpless, the latter had no choice but to take out the Level 8 Invincible Shield and carry it with him, ready to activate it at any time. Only then did he grasp the handle of the wheelchair and slowly push Xu Tianran onto the balcony.

The moonlight shone on Xu Tianran's purple hair, and his slightly pale face made him look like a vampire prince from a fairy tale, full of mystery and elegance.

And it was at this moment!

As night gradually fell, three enormous, sky-obscuring phenomena and several incredibly powerful auras spread out, their sounds like the rising sun and the crowing of roosters rousing the quiet Mingdu: "Hahaha, this is truly a sight to behold! You can't be poisoned, you can't be poisoned! Shrek killed your own brother, and I never expected to see you joining forces with the Shrek members? How strange! How strange!"

"Hmph! Long Xiaoyao, I have always kept public and private matters separate. I have a personal grudge against Shrek Academy, but the Sun Moon Empire is a common enemy to us. There's no point in saying more. Let's start the war! Xuanzi, don't you dare hold me back!"

"Hold you back? You've experienced my fighting skills firsthand. Seventh Soul Skill—Martial Soul True Body!"

A great battle was about to break out. A gluttonous divine bull appeared under the glow of earthen yellow light, its nearly 100-meter-long body enormous.

Amidst the dark green light, a towering giant, a hundred feet tall, rose from the ground. Then, golden light flashed, and a golden giant phantom appeared behind it before merging into it.

The original martial soul has undergone a second awakening at the gold level!

Two beams of light almost completely obscured half the sky, covering the entire Ming capital.

The dark city brightened as the powerful clashed; everyone got up and rushed to the windows to open them, and looking up, they could see the terrifying, sky-covering scenery.

Two beams of light appeared opposite each other, their black glow obscuring half the sky. A ferocious, hundred-meter-long dragon descended from the clouds, its four claws hovering in mid-air.

"The rule in the Soul Master world is that anyone with a title or above must be brought down from the heavens to fight."

Unlike the two who made harsh threats, Long Xiaoyao's words were more like a warning—a warning not directed at Du Busi and Xuanzi.

At his command, more than a dozen terrifying auras rose up behind him, and at the same time, four or five unknown level-nine soul tools were activated under the control of the titled Douluo of Mingdu.

On the other side, behind Xuanzi and Du Busi, the auras of nearly a dozen Title Douluo rose, their Martial Soul True Forms activated, and the area above Mingdu seemed to transform into a primordial battlefield, with enormous beasts and weapons confronting each other.

Then, with a "whoosh," they all flew into the sky, and soon after, a deafening explosion was heard.

The assassination has begun!

"Elder Xuan and the others have started, let's go too!"

"Alright, I'll pave the way for you. Give me the boost!"

"Brother Aotian, I'm here to help you!"

"Who dares to break into the palace at night? Quick! Intruder! Everyone on high alert! Activate your soul-guided devices!"
