Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

He also valued his own safety highly, and in addition to the Soul Guidance Guard left by Xu Guoyi, he also dispatched some of his trusted confidants to accompany him.

The banquet continued, and Xu Tianran paid no attention to Kong Tianxu's brief departure. He was already calculating in his mind what impact Xu Guoyi's health problems would have, and who he could use this opportunity to contact in order to consolidate his own position.

Dishes continued to be served, but Xu Tianran had no appetite for these delicacies. Like Xu Tianzhen, they tasted bland to him. Despite his burning desire, he frequently raised his glass, hoping the alcohol would help him calm down.

The moment he swallowed the refreshing liquor, he seemed to hear a slight thud.

"What's that sound?" Xu Tianran asked, frowning.

"Thump—" The sound continued, only more muffled.

"Your Highness, it's probably the captured elephant. It's been taken to the private room to be shown to the princess," the attendant replied respectfully, his posture subtly shifting as he rose.

If Kong Tianxu were still here, he would have noticed that although this attendant was not the same person who had poured wine for Xu Guoyi earlier, their sudden, slightly faster heartbeats were exactly the same.

And with this barely perceptible change in him, a subtle chemical reaction seemed to occur on the scene.

A tall, thin waiter approached from behind him carrying a plate covered with a round lid.

"Oh~" Xu Tianran shook his head and smiled, just about to speak to Xu Tianzhen.

The lid of the plate was lifted slightly, revealing what it contained.

In the center of an exquisite and luxurious silver plate, a metal forging with a conical shape at one end and a cylindrical shape at the other gleams faintly.

As the crown prince, Xu Tianran naturally understood what this meant.

Fixed-load soul-guided projectiles!

"Enemy attack—"

"boom--!!"

A burst of orange-red destructive light erupted, instantly engulfing his roar. The intense light consumed the entire banquet hall, and terrifying heat swept everything away.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Tianran's figure was engulfed by this powerful orange-red color.

Triggered defensive soul tool, broken!

Invincible shield, broken!

Soul-guided shield, broken!

Xu Tianran's eyes widened in fury. He leaped backward, and amidst the swirling light and shadow of the purple dragon, fine dragon scales sprouted all over his body.

But it was too late.

At the very center of the explosion, the terrifying fire elemental energy eventually engulfed his lower body, which he had not yet completely detached from. Amidst his heart-wrenching screams of pain, several more blades suddenly attacked.

"Your Highness!" The guards behind him, who were protecting him with all their might, finally reacted, and the girl rushed towards him without regard for her own safety.

"Royal brother! Granny, let's hurry and save the royal brother." Xu Tianzhen was relatively far away, and with the protection of the nanny beside her, she was safe and sound, but at the same time, several soul-guided rays were directed towards them.

"Open the secret passage!"

The high-level soul masters were locked in a chaotic battle. Xu Tianran held the blood-stained girl in his arms, hurriedly swallowed a blood-red pill, and said in a trembling voice under the protection of the few remaining guards.

"Your Highness, protect yourself. This old servant is about to break through to His Highness the Crown Prince's side." The old woman quickly assessed the situation and solemnly said to Xu Tianzhen.

As she spoke, she wove a net of thousands of golden threads in her hands, which blocked several attacks of light waves with different colors, while a golden thread connected her and Xu Tianzhen.

Although the situation on the field seems to be holding up, it is obvious to anyone with eyes that Xu Tianran's guards are at a disadvantage against the assassins after being bombarded by a fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell that is at least level seven.

The only option now is to reunite with Xu Tianran as soon as possible, evacuate through the secret passage, and break through using the soul-guided protective positions inside the underground chamber.

“But Tianxu…” Xu Tianzhen gritted her teeth, following the old woman quickly toward Xu Tianran while searching for Kong Tianxu’s whereabouts with her eyes.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, her pupils contracted slightly.

Xu Tianran had already retreated into the secret passage and was closing the heavy metal door!

He had no intention of taking anyone with him.

"Brother..."

Xu Tianzhen's face turned pale, clearly not expecting that her older brother, who usually doted on her the most, would abandon her at such a time.

Around them, a massive metal fortress suddenly appeared.

"Naive, I'm afraid we can't escape." Granny Rong once again flung out several silk threads, cutting the incoming soul-guided cannon in half, her voice extremely heavy.

Judging from the fluctuations in their soul power, these were soul-guided artillery tactics employed by at least level eight soul masters. Behind them, the light from the soul-guided array formed a continuous, continuous expanse.

If they only had the level eight soul master in front of them, they might not be without a chance of winning. However, trapped in the soul guidance array and with a constant stream of pursuers, Xu Tianzhen was already in despair.

"Boom—" Another muffled roar, but this time everyone knew it was not because of the so-called Pipi elephant, because along with this thunderous sound that was close at hand, a large hole suddenly appeared in one side of the banquet hall wall.

Before the intense blood-red light from the giant bear's claws had subsided, a silver figure leaped out from the billowing dust!

Chapter 66 The Ring of Teleportation, Absolute Defense

"Tianxu!" Xu Tianzhen finally spotted him in the crowd, and a look of relief appeared on her anxious face.

Ever since the explosion, her heart had been pounding, not only because of her worry about Xu Tianran's injuries, but also because of her fear that Kong Tianxu might be in danger somewhere.

She couldn't tell which emotion was more prevalent.

At the very moment she cried out, Kong Tianxu seemed to sense something and suddenly turned to look at her.

This momentary hesitation gave the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear behind him an opportunity. Its giant claws, imbued with bloodlust and rage, tore through the air once more and slammed down!

Finally, they succeeded! A ferocious excitement flashed in the giant bear's eyes.

At the critical moment, a cold smile appeared on Kong Tianxu's lips. A barely perceptible golden light suddenly shone from between his fingers—in the blink of an eye, he vanished into thin air, and the next moment, he landed steadily beside Xu Tianzhen, dozens of meters away, completely avoiding the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear's sure-fire attack.

The moment he landed, the seemingly simple brass ring on his left little finger lost its luster, as if it had exhausted all its strength.

Known as a miraculous existence among level-seven soul tools, the Teleportation Ring.

The teleportation range can reach up to one hundred meters. Although it can only be used once a day, it is not a disposable soul tool. With it, in many situations, it's practically like having a second life.

Kong Tianxu had been patiently waiting for this opportunity. He had no intention of getting entangled in a fight with the powerful and defensive monster behind him; getting out of this place as quickly as possible was his most pressing task.

The series of crashes and booming sounds earlier were deliberately created by him as he fought and retreated, intending to alert Xu Tianran. However, he did not expect that the other party had such tight control over this villa, and dispelled Xu Tianran's suspicions with just a few words.

and……

He threw a backhand punch, unleashing a burst of scorching soul power that sent a soul master blocking his path flying. Amidst a chaotic array of soul guide rays, his eyes were icy cold.

The Soul Saint showed no mercy and unleashed a barrage of killing moves the moment he saw him. It seemed that this deadly trap was not only aimed at Xu Tianran, but also at him.

Once he gets through this predicament, he will eradicate both the Second Prince, who orchestrated this whole affair, and those who conspired to harm him.

"Young Master Tianxu, quickly take His Highness away! I will cover your retreat!"

Upon seeing Kong Tianxu appear, the royal matron's spirits lifted, and the golden net in front of her, which had been withstanding the relentless bombardment of the soul-guided cannons, suddenly expanded outwards. She had been nearly in despair, but Kong Tianxu's appearance rekindled her hopes; if she were to fight to the death to stop him…

"No need!" Kong Tianxu and Xu Tianzhen, who were also fighting with all their might, exchanged a glance. After confirming that they were both safe and sound, they both breathed a sigh of relief and then said decisively:

"Cain has already contacted the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps. We just need to hold them off. Senior, trust me, please withdraw your defenses. I have a way to lead us to safety."

“But…” The old woman hesitated, but then she saw a thick cannon barrel appear on Kong Tianxu’s shoulder without warning.

The cannon barrel is a deep purple-red color, covered with countless intricate and beautiful soul-guiding patterns, radiating a heart-pounding energy fluctuation.

A level seven fixed-position soul tool! Her pupils constricted sharply. She looked at Xu Tianzhen, only to see the princess nod heavily. Recalling Kong Tianxu's extraordinary abilities, she finally gritted her teeth and said:

"it is good!"

As she spoke, the giant golden net formed by her eighth soul skill began to gradually gather.

At the same time, a faint shimmering light appeared on her body—the invincible shield was already in pre-activation mode. She chose to trust Kong Tianxu, but she also had to prepare for the worst.

"Get ready, the level eight soul-guided turrets are launching a fierce attack." She took a deep breath. "Here it comes!"

The next moment, the golden net suddenly contracted, and various soul-guided beams carrying extremely strong soul power fluctuations poured down like a torrential rain. The thick, bloody smell of the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear once again filled the surrounding air.

Just as the destructive storm was about to engulf the three of them, the giant cannon on Kong Tianxu's shoulder emitted a deep, beast-like roar, and the light from its muzzle suddenly shone brightly!

The two powerful enemies almost instinctively sensed a deadly threat, and simultaneously and forcefully interrupted or deflected their attacks, dodging to the sides at top speed. While using their soul skills to disrupt Kong Tianxu's aim, they frantically poured all their soul power into their respective defensive soul tools!

Just kidding, that's a level seven fixed-position soul tool!

Moreover, given their keen eyesight, they would never be wrong; that suffocating shadow of death was undoubtedly a genuine, fixed-mount soul-guided cannon.

however--

Kong Tianxu suddenly raised the cannon muzzle.

Instead of launching it, he flicked his wrist and threw out two golden beams!

That wasn't a soul skill; it was just two golden streaks of light as fast as lightning that precisely struck the defensive barrier that the two had just erected.

A bizarre scene unfolded as two layers of golden light shields descended from the sky, suddenly swirling back and enveloping both the volley of fire unleashed by the level eight soul master and the surge of blood energy erupted by the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear Soul Saint. They rapidly contracted and landed, instantly suppressing the two powerful figures.

At the top of the golden light shield, there was a bead with 108 cross-sections, each shimmering with light. The two beads, each about the size of a fist, spun rapidly. Despite the two powerful figures' frantic attacks, they could only create ripples on the surface of the light shield, failing to cause any damage.

"go!"

Without pausing, Kong Tianxu pulled Xu Tianzhen up and rushed toward the south gate passage that had been exposed by the other party's dodge. The cannon barrel had disappeared at some point.

That fixed-mount soul-guided launcher was indeed real, but it didn't have any shells! The real brilliance lay in those two beads.

The absolute defense soul tool can be described as precious with two adjectives: level seven and disposable.

Even the most ordinary level seven soul tools are worth hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins, let alone this top-tier level seven soul tool. With a casual flick of Kong Tianxu's wrist, at least two million gold soul coins disappeared.

However, its effectiveness is absolutely worthwhile. The Absolute Defense Soul Tool is similar to an invincible shield, but it is used in reverse. After it hits, for a quarter of an hour, the person sealed by the Absolute Defense Shield will have to face the protection of an eighth-tier Soul Douluo-level defensive Soul Master.

In the blink of an eye, Kong Tianxu and the other two had already broken through the still-imperfect soul guidance array in the south. Ignoring Xu Tianzhen and the other two who were still in shock, Kong Tianxu's Blood Moon Circle flickered with light. After confirming the distance, a uniquely shaped silver wristband appeared on his wrist.

Chapter 67 The Silver Dragon of Destruction (3000)

The Level 9 Remote Displacement Soul Guidance Device was made from materials sourced from the Holy Spirit Cult. It was a unique creation made by Kong Deming unintentionally.

When used in pairs, it can transfer everything within the range of one wristband to the location of the other wristband even if the soul tool is destroyed.

The limit of this distance is one kilometer.

As the silver light gradually enveloped the three of them, Kong Tianxu deeply imprinted the appearance of each enemy on the field into his mind, his eyebrows furrowing into two cold, hard lines.

I wonder if the mastermind behind tonight's losses has enough wealth to repay them.

"boom--!"
