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

Chapter 367 Escape

"I'll stay behind to cover the retreat. Everyone, retreat!"

Long Aotian's voice echoed around, and soon, thanks to the power of his soul, it was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

Without the slightest hesitation, the people from the Body Sect and Shrek Academy led the surrounding people to escape in two different directions. One group went underground, while the other hid in the city and fled towards a secluded valley.

Rumble~~

As the earth shook, a colossal figure rose from the ground—it was Long Aotian, unleashing his full power. The jade-skinned giant raised his arms and let out a silent battle roar towards the dragon in the sky. In the illusion, it seemed as if the Titans and giants had a generational feud.

"Yuhao, take the rest of you and leave. I'll stay behind with Long Aotian to cover our retreat. Be quick!"

Beside the giant, a platinum-gold dragon also spread its wings, its light dazzling and seemingly capable of dispelling the entire night. While giving further instructions to the others, Beibei said to Long Aotian beside her, "You hold off Xu Tianran, I'll take care of the rest."

"good!"

"Hmph, then let me test the courage of you two geniuses! Follow me! Eighth Soul Skill—Purple Blaze Scorching the World!"

In mid-air, Xu Tianran looked down at the two below, and then gave new orders to the palace guards who wanted to chase after the escapees. Compared to these two, the other escapees seemed insignificant.

The guards understood this as well, and immediately activated their martial spirits, rushing towards the two enormous creatures. Some Soul Saints and Soul Douluos also unleashed their martial spirit forms to attack the two. For a moment, the entire scene presented an aura of utter devastation, as if the two chosen ones of heaven were about to perish under this heavy encirclement.

In fact, they're pretty much the same.

With no reinforcements and no one knowing where Zhang Lexuan had gone, even with Bei Bei and Long Aotian, one comparable to a Title Douluo and the other to a top-tier Soul Douluo, they couldn't break through the encirclement of so many people.

Countless soul-guided projectiles and soul-guided rays were fired at the two from the hands of low-level soul masters, who stayed at the outermost edge of the encirclement to carry out long-range bombardment and interference.

Inside, several Soul Douluos worked together with Xu Tianran, and with the assistance of the Soul Saint, they tightly restrained the two of them.

Even though his hind legs were immobile, Xu Tianran's dragon claws could still hook onto the giant's head, and his huge dragon tail strangled his neck. Under the pressure of his body, Long Aotian found it difficult to escape.

Several Soul Douluos and Soul Saints around him simultaneously unleashed powerful Soul Guidance Devices and Soul Skills, causing the Soul Power contained within his entire body to rapidly decline.

"Die!"

A phantom narwhal flew out from Long Aotian's body and pounced straight at Xu Tianran, who was holding him captive.

But before this powerful attack could accurately strike Xu Tianran's Achilles' heel, a Soul Saint used his Martial Soul True Body to block the attack for him. Blood gushed from a large hole in the body encased in the Martial Soul True Body. In no time, this Soul Saint died directly at Long Aotian's hands.

But his death was worthwhile! He successfully prevented Long Aotian from escaping Xu Tianran's oppression, depriving Long Aotian of a chance to break free and survive!

His death did not cause panic; instead, it fueled the anger of the palace guards around him, making them even more determined to kill him!

"Hahaha, if you two had escaped in time, I would have worried that you would hinder my great cause in the future. But I never expected that you would choose to stay for a few dozen cannon fodder. How utterly foolish! Today, both of you will die here!"

The dragon claw gripped Long Aotian's head tightly, while Xu Tianran laughed wildly and cursed vehemently.

If Long Aotian and Bei Bei choose to escape immediately, Mingdu would have no chance of stopping them given their abilities. With their genius, once they become Super Douluo, they might become obstacles to his future hegemony and landmines that could be detonated at any time.

But why do good people die so easily? It's because their good intentions, which urge them to court death, are at play!

Victory could be achieved by sacrificing just a few insignificant people, but their kind nature prevents them from easily abandoning those cannon fodder and ants.

"In the end, the strong rule everything in this world, and the strong only need to do one thing: be strong!"

"Xu Tianran, prepare to die! Eighth Soul Ring First Soul Skill—Blood Moon Eclipse!"

Under the moonlight, a blood moon dyed the surrounding colors a thick, bloody hue.

It was Zhang Lexuan! She didn't leave, but hid in the shadows waiting for the next assassination opportunity. When Xu Tianran was focused on Long Aotian, she launched a righteous backstab (physical).

The moonlight, with its unparalleled corrosive power, shone down from the moon's glow, striking Xu Tianran's dragon-scaled back with perfect precision.

Sizzle sizzle~

Crimson blood seeped out continuously, and within half a second, Xu Tianran's dragon back was covered in festering sores. The intense pain made him roar back, "Roar!"

—

But he didn't let go. He had already endured far too much pain, and he didn't care about anything except for fatal injuries.

Even Zhang Lexuan didn't expect that Xu Tianran was not only ruthless, but also ruthless to himself. Under such excruciating pain, he was still able to hold on and not try to escape, but let the moonlight continue to corrode his martial soul body.

However, she wasn't worried. It would only take ten seconds! In ten seconds at most, the Blood Moon Beam would be able to corrode and penetrate Xu Tianran's body. At that time, he would either die or release Long Aotian.

Meanwhile, Zhang Lexuan's hands were sweating profusely. She desperately hoped that Long Aotian could hold on, or even contribute to Xu Tianran's death.

"Ahhhhh!"

Ten seconds passed, but Xu Tianran still did not choose to let go and continued to endure the corrosive pain of the moonlight.

The surrounding Soul Douluos and Soul Saints also desperately attacked Long Aotian's Martial Soul True Body. Countless powerful Soul Skills, under the repeated flashes of the Soul Rings, brought Long Aotian's giant body to the brink of shattering.

"Tch, you're lucky you survived, Nan Nan!"

"Yes, Sister Lexuan! Teleportation—Invincible Golden Body!"

Xu Tianran held back, but Zhang Lexuan couldn't. Continuously using the eighth soul skill would rapidly deplete her soul power.

Once her soul power is exhausted, Xu Tianran will surely die, but she and Long Aotian will both have to stay, and Beibei might not be able to leave either, which is something she absolutely cannot tolerate.

So she shouted and withdrew her eighth soul skill, then rushed into the battlefield with Nan Nan to start rescuing people.

Zhang Lexuan grabbed Jiang Nannan's feet with both hands and teleported with her into the center of the battlefield. Then, a dazzling golden light flashed before everyone's eyes.

"Damn it! Chase after them! Chase after them!!!"

Xu Tianran, who was sent flying by the invincible greatsword "Jiang Nannan", roared and continued to roar in pain as he watched the three people who were rapidly retreating under Zhang Lexuan's leadership.
