Battle Through the Heavens: The Soul Emperor's Only Daughter, I Am the Young Master of the Soul

Chapter 56 Guhe's Disarray and Defeated

"Your Majesty Queen Medusa, I am Guhe from the Lower Gama Empire. I have come here not to start a war with the nobles, but to discuss something with you. Please show yourself!" Seeing that Yue Mei was unwilling to inform Queen Medusa, Guhe glanced at the solemn city and shouted loudly.

With the boost of Dou Qi energy, Gu He's voice resounded throughout the city, reaching Cai Lin's ears.

Hun Qinghao also heard the shout, and his eyes darkened.

That's really fast!

Worried that these uninvited guests would disturb Cai Lin's evolution, she quickly made a decision and reassured Cai Lin, who was struggling with the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, "Sister, focus on evolving. I'll take care of those people outside."

After saying that, Hun Qinghao flashed through space and left the island, arriving at the lakeside where he pulled Da Zi out of the Soul-Locking Bracelet and instructed, "You stay here and guard this place. Don't let anyone get close to my sister."

"Yes, Master, don't worry." Da Zi patted his chest to assure him.

At this moment, as Guhe's shouts subsided, the area inside and outside the city walls was completely silent, without any reaction.

Upon realizing what was happening, Mobas immediately roared angrily, "Insolence! This is the Snake People's territory, not a place where you can run wild!"

Queen Medusa still hadn't appeared. Gu He frowned slightly as he looked at Mobas and Yue Mei, who were glaring angrily.

However, just as he was about to shout again, a clear and slightly childish voice rang out in the air.

"If you retreat now, you can return safely."

The source of the sound was indistinguishable, as if it came from all directions, exuding an endless chill.

The sudden sound startled Gu He and the others. Gu He couldn't help but look at the mysterious black-robed figure beside him, asking her with his eyes.

Yun Yun, who was wrapped up tightly, looked solemn and shook her head slightly at Gu He, meaning that she also could not tell what realm the owner of the voice was.

Suddenly, a spatial rift appeared high above the city wall.

The spatial rift continued to expand, and when it reached a certain size, a beautiful young woman emerged from it.

The girl was dressed in purple with silver hair, and her star-like purple eyes revealed indifference.

Silver threads danced in the air, and her pale purple dress billowed in the wind, revealing a pair of exquisitely embroidered shoes on her feet.

Upon seeing the young woman appear, Yue Mei and Mo Bas exchanged a glance, relieved, and respectfully greeted her, "Miss Qing'er!"

This little darling has appeared; surely no one can disturb Her Majesty's evolution!

Hun Qinghao nodded slightly, her icy eyes fixed on Gu He and the others, her voice filled with coldness: "My sister won't see you. Leave now!"

Sister? Is she Queen Medusa?

Hearing the girl address Queen Medusa, Guhe and the others were puzzled.

Since she is Queen Medusa's sister, it wouldn't be a bad idea to test the waters by talking to her first.

With that in mind, Guhe revealed his purpose.

"I've heard that Queen Medusa recently acquired a strange fire. Everyone knows how important a strange fire is to an alchemist, but it's of little use to Queen Medusa. Please tell your sister that I, Gu He, am willing to exchange two Rank 6 Spirit Pills and one Rank 7 Transformation Pill for the strange fire. What does Your Majesty think?"

As soon as Gu He finished speaking, the people around him showed shocked expressions, because the exchange conditions Gu He offered were already incredibly generous in their eyes. The Fighting Spirit Pill and the Transformation Pill were both rare and precious items that were hard to come by.

But in Hun Qinghao's eyes, these were just leftover candies, unable to stir the slightest ripple in her heart.

"No good!" Hun Qinghao flung out the Soul Lock, her eyes filled with disdain as she coldly said, "I have as many pills as I want; do I need you to provide them?"

"Besides, you're only a sixth-grade alchemist; I'm afraid you can't even refine a Transformation Pill." At this point, Hun Qinghao's eyes turned cold, and she said sharply, "You're trying to get something for nothing! What a clever scheme!"

Seeing that Hun Qinghao disregarded his proposed conditions and saw through his intentions, Gu He was astonished.

Negotiations failed, and Guhe, on Yunyun's advice, used a feint attack.

Several Dou Wangs and Dou Lings from Guhe held off Hun Qinghao and the Snake-Man Dou Wang, while Dou Huang Yun Yun headed straight for the temple in the eastern part of the city, intending to forcibly seize the Strange Flame.

"You dare!"

As Yun Yun approached the temple where Cai Lin was located, Hun Qinghao, his face masked in frost, roared angrily.

She kicked Gu He away, the force of which made him cough up blood. Then she teleported out of the space, threw out the Soul Lock in her hand, wrapped it around Yun Yun's waist, and pulled her back forcefully.

Then, her figure moved like a ghost, instantly approaching Yun Yun. Before Yun Yun could react, she gathered a huge amount of energy in her palm and slapped her on the shoulder.

Yun Yun was sent flying by her palm strike, landing in front of Gu He with blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

Beneath her black veil, Yun Yun stared at the girl opposite her, who was holding chains, her face filled with disbelief.

I am a Dou Huang!

How could an eight-star Dou Wang possibly have the power to shake a Dou Huang?

Outrageous!

Seeing that Hun Qinghao had injured Yun Yun with just one palm strike, Gu He and the people he brought were all incredulous.

When did it become so easy for a Battle King to defeat a Battle Emperor? Has the world reverted to its previous state?

This is simply unreasonable!

"You are no match for me. I'll say it again, you can still retreat now, or I'll refine you all into soul beads! Hehehe..."

Hun Qinghao stroked the Soul Lock, a sinister smile on his face.

Gu He and the others didn't know what a Soul Bead was, but when they saw the aloof girl turn sinister in an instant, they couldn't help but shudder.

OMG! This little girl is terrifying! Where did this monster come from?

"You're not leaving, huh? Then don't blame me for being impolite!"

Seeing that Gu He and the others were still standing still, Hun Qinghao's pretty face turned cold. She turned her Soul Lock into a sword and swung it at them, "Phantom Soul Blade".

A massive, crescent-shaped, dark purple blade of light was unleashed, creating countless afterimages that blurred the lines between reality and illusion, making it impossible to discern the true source of the attack.

Faced with the light blade unleashed by Hun Qinghao, Gu He and the others felt their very souls tremble.

"Run! I can't stop this attack!" Yun Yun shouted softly, enduring the stinging pain in her soul, and pulled Gu He away at top speed.

Upon hearing that even Yun Yun, a Dou Huang, couldn't withstand this attack, the group's expressions changed drastically, and they fled with all their might.

In the end, only Yun Yun, Gu He, and the two Dou Wangs managed to escape the calamity. As for the four Dou Ling, they had already perished under the Soul Blade, their physical bodies dissipating and their souls annihilated.

The four members of Guhe who had narrowly escaped death turned pale upon witnessing this horrific scene.

At this moment, Gu He no longer cared about seizing the strange fire. He decisively turned around and ran away. He was about to lose his life, so who cared about the strange fire!

I never imagined that the snake people were hiding such a terrifying existence. This time, we have suffered a great loss!
