In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

“Of course I’m here to reclaim what rightfully belongs to me. The position of Crown Prince in the Star Luo Empire has always been held by the capable. You’ve held the position for so long, it’s time for you to step down and give way to a more worthy person.” Dai Mubai smiled wickedly and answered frankly.

"Don't even think about it..." Dai Mubai's face was gloomy. There is a huge dividing line between Soul Emperor and Soul Saint, because only by reaching the Soul Saint level can one unleash the true power of the Martial Soul. With his Soul Emperor level, he is no match for Dai Mubai at all.

“That’s not up to you…” Dai Mubai said smugly, turning his gaze to Dai Tianfeng and respectfully saying, “Resurrection, I remember that when Davis was twenty-four years old, he didn’t fight me. That means I still have a chance to challenge him.”

“Of course you can, but I think you should also be aware of the rules of the Star Luo royal family. The two heirs always fight as husband and wife. You have lost your fiancée, which means you must fight against Zhu Yun and Weiss together by yourself.” Dai Tianfeng said calmly.

Although he favored Davis, whom he had placed high hopes on since childhood, that was the rule of the Star Luo Empire, and even he, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, could not change it at will.

“That’s natural.” Dai Mubai seemed unconcerned. If his White Tiger Martial Soul had evolved into the Hell White Tiger, even if his Soul Power had broken through to the Soul Saint level, he might have been somewhat wary of Davis and Zhu Zhuyun’s Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Netherworld White Tiger, when he was alone.

But now his martial soul has evolved into the Hell White Tiger, and he is no longer afraid of the two's martial soul fusion technique.

Chapter 394 Tang San's Scheme

Soon, the group entered the Tianxingguan training ground.

Davis, Zhu Zhuyun, and Dai Mubai entered the center of the training ground from both sides.

Dai Tianfeng sat on the makeshift VIP platform, standing side by side with Dugu Bo. As a Title Douluo, Dugu Bo was qualified to sit here.

"I still don't know your name or why you're here with Mu Bai at Tianxing Pass?" Dai Tianfeng glanced at Dugu Bo, who was still in disguise, as he watched Davis and his two companions walk into the training ground below, and asked bluntly.

"Your Majesty must have heard of my name. My surname is Dugu Bo, my given name is Bo, and my title is Poison." Dugu Bo lifted a corner of his bamboo hat, revealing his signature green eyes and green hair.

"It's you?" Dai Tianfeng was slightly surprised. "Rumor has it that four years ago, Mr. Dugu Bo and Tang San, the son of Haotian Douluo, plotted to murder Emperor Xue Ye. However, they were all wiped out by Lan Ji, who was at the Soul Saint stage. In the end, it was Haotian Douluo who covered their retreat and risked his life to allow the two of you to escape from Tiandou City. I wonder if this is true or not?"

"I am no match for that brat, my skills are inferior," Dugu Bo replied frankly. "However, Your Majesty, do you believe that we plotted to murder Emperor Xueye?"

Of course I don't believe it; it would be a miracle if I did.

As someone who had seized the throne in the previous generation's struggle for power in the Star Luo Empire, how could he not see through the intricacies of the situation? He understood it perfectly.

Murdering a nation's emperor is no joke; public opinion is a powerful force, and even the Spirit Hall wouldn't dare to do it so openly.

Moreover, even if they killed Emperor Xueye, why did they also kill Xue Beng and Xue Xing? This was a thankless task, and in the end, it was Xue Qinghe who benefited the most.

As expected, Dugu Bo and Tang San were merely scapegoats for Xue Qinghe to eliminate Xue Beng, Xue Xing, and even Xue Ye Emperor in order to ascend the throne.

Knowing is one thing, but knowing how to do it is another.

History is written by the victors.

Now that Xue Ye, Xue Beng, and Xue Xing are dead, the Heaven Dou Empire has no legitimate heir besides Xue Qinghe. The Star Luo Empire's cooperation with the Heaven Dou Empire against the Martial Soul Empire is entirely dependent on Xue Qinghe's knowledge.

Therefore, even if you don't believe it, you have to pretend to believe it.

"Does Mr. Dugu not know that tomorrow is the day my Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire sign an alliance treaty? Lan Ji could arrive here at any time. If Lan Ji sees through Dugu Bo's identity then, he'll be in big trouble." Dai Tianfeng skipped over the previous topic.

Dugu Bo smiled faintly and said, "I think everyone, whether it's His Majesty, Lan Ji, or even Emperor Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Dynasty, is well aware of the current situation. The Spirit Hall's ambition to unify the continent is now blatantly obvious. As the saying goes, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests. Now that a formidable enemy is at hand, and Lan Ji has helped Xue Qinghe get what they want, I think everyone knows what the most urgent task is. Although I am not considered a strong person among the Title Douluos, my potent poison is enough to withstand a thousand troops."

"Moreover, it's not just me..." As he spoke, Dugu Bo revealed that Tang San had already obtained the inheritance of the Rakshasa God.

Dai Tianfeng and Tong Kong suddenly shrank back, looking at Dugu Bo with disbelief. "Is this really true?"

If Tang San can truly become a legendary god, his value will far surpass that of Lan Ji, making it worthwhile for the Star Luo Empire to place a heavy bet.

"Isn't His Majesty's Third Prince a perfect example? Although he didn't pass the Divine Trial like the little monster, he still completed the fifth Black-level Trial. Thus, not only did his Martial Soul evolve, but he also reached the Soul Saint realm at the age of twenty-seven. Before Lan Ji appeared, had His Majesty ever seen such a genius?" Dugu Bo smiled and looked towards the training ground.

In the center of the training ground, Dai Mubai had already activated his Martial Soul True Form and was fighting against Davis and Zhu Zhuyun, who were using the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Netherworld White Tiger.

Although the Netherworld White Tiger was no less than the Hell White Tiger in quality, and even surpassed it, it was suppressed by Dai Mubai because Davis and Zhu Zhuyun's soul power was a whole realm lower than Dai Mubai's, and they could not use soul skills in the state of martial soul fusion.

Seeing this, Dai Tianfeng didn't hesitate for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "How can you guarantee that after Tang San becomes a god, he won't turn around and attack my Star Luo Empire?"

"It's very simple. Based on the brotherly relationship between the Third Prince and the little monster over the years, as long as the Third Prince Dai Mubai becomes the Crown Prince, it's not impossible for him to help the Star Luo Empire unify the continent in the future." This was a rhetorical device that Tang San had explained to Dugu Bo when he was at Yu Xiaogang's residence.

Their goal was to successfully persuade Dai Tianfeng to join their side.

"Unify the continent?!" A hint of emotion flashed across Dai Tianfeng's eyes. The Spirit Empire wanted to unify the continent, and so did his Star Luo Empire. However, due to the Spirit Hall's overwhelming presence, they could not launch a large-scale invasion of the Heaven Dou Empire and could only engage in small-scale skirmishes.

Moreover, his original intention was to destroy the Spirit Hall and then turn around and destroy the Heaven Dou Empire.

Seeing that Dai Tianfeng was interested, Dugu Bo smiled awkwardly and continued to coax him, "What does Your Majesty think?"

“The Martial Soul Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire are enemies of the Star Luo Empire. I can agree to your request, but there is a precondition,” Dai Tianfeng said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, please speak freely," Dugu Bo said with a light laugh.

Dai Tianfeng said, "Our greatest enemy is still the Martial Soul Empire. Before the Martial Soul Empire is completely destroyed, we must cooperate sincerely with the Heaven Dou Empire and not fight among ourselves."

Dugu Bo smiled faintly, "That's natural. If we fight amongst ourselves, the one who will ultimately be happy is the Martial Soul Empire."

As the two were talking, Dai Mubai, in his Martial Soul True Form state, unleashed his sixth Soul Skill, White Tiger Annihilation Strike.

Small Bookstore

A blinding golden light erupted from his entire body, and his body changed shape several times in the air. The dense golden light burst out in a cross pattern, forming a huge "kill" seal in the air that covered the Netherworld White Tiger.

The Netherworld White Tiger was blasted away, and Davis and Zhu Zhuyun were instantly severely injured, unable to fuse their martial soul fusion skills anymore, and were forced to disintegrate.

"Haha... Davis, Zhu Zhuyun, you've lost! Prepare to die..." Dai Mubai laughed loudly, releasing all the pent-up resentment he had endured over the years. He felt an unprecedented sense of relief and slapped the two injured men with his claws.

He showed no mercy, having endured castration, more than three years in the Rakshasa Secret Realm, and nearly four years of divine trials, during which he even played the roles of doctor and patient.

Influenced by the evil thoughts of Rakshasa, Dai Mubai's personality had long been twisted, and his eerie face was full of ferocity.

"Zhu Yun, be careful..." Davis still loved Zhu Zhu Yun in the end, just as Zhu Zhu Yun loved him. Survival of the fittest was the age-old rule of the Star Luo Empire in selecting its heirs. No one would interfere with their life-or-death battle that would determine their fate, not even Dai Tianfeng of the Star Luo Empire.

At the critical moment, Davis shielded Zhu Zhuyun, and in Zhu Zhuyun's astonished and terrified gaze, he used his own body to block Dai Mubai's full-force attack in his Martial Soul True Form state.

Chapter 395 The Kitten Beats Up Dai Mubai

*Pfft*—A mouthful of blood spurted from Davis's mouth as Dai Mubai's tiger claw pierced through Davis's chest from his back.

"Wes..." Zhu Zhuyun cried out, running towards Davis with all her might. Although they were only a few meters apart, the two seemed to be worlds apart.

On the VIP platform, Dai Tianfeng closed his eyes in anguish. Although he looked heartbroken, he was helpless, because this was the unchanging iron law of the Star Luo royal family in choosing an heir. However, the price was far too high.

Dugu Bo, on the other hand, wore a smug and mocking smile.

As for the other soldiers in the fortress who were watching the battle, they all couldn't bear to look away.

Davis held a high reputation in the military camp. Nine years ago, after the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, he was sent down to the army by Dai Tianfeng to share the hardships of the soldiers. Over the past nine years, he had accumulated considerable prestige within the camp.

Seeing Davis in such a miserable state, the soldiers felt a mixture of fear, pity, and anger at the sight of Dai Mubai's ruthless methods. They dared not speak out.

"You won..." Looking at his chest, and hearing Dai Mubai's smug laughter behind him, Davis smiled with relief.

Feeling his consciousness gradually sinking into a daze, he used his last bit of strength to step forward and, using the momentum of his body, pulled out Dai Mubai's tiger claw. A large amount of blood dripped onto the ground.

Davis walked towards Zhu Zhuyun with bloody footprints, and just as he was about to collapse, he threw himself into Zhu Zhuyun's arms.

"Quick...someone come quick..." Zhu Zhuyun shouted, but she heard Davis's weak voice beside her, "No...it's too late, Zhuyun, I'm beyond saving..."

"Why...why did you do this..." Zhu Zhuyun's voice trembled, and tears streamed down her beautiful face uncontrollably.

"Because you are my wife." Davis's gentle smile faded as his eyes remained open, his body slowly sliding to the ground. He had completely lost his life.

Perhaps to emphasize the sorrow in the air, the once clear sky suddenly darkened, and a torrential downpour began. The bloodstains on Davis and Zhu Zhuyun were washed onto the ground, staining most of the training ground red.

Dai Mubai walked up to Davis, a grotesque and terrifying smile spreading across his eerie face. He kicked Davis's corpse while roaring with laughter, "Haha... finally dead, you bastard, finally dead... Do you know how much I've suffered for you all these years...?"

Zhu Zhuyun stood in the rain, her head slightly lowered, her bangs hanging freely over her forehead, her eyes obscured by shadows. The pouring rain pattered against her body, causing her already tight black leather jacket to cling to her skin, perfectly outlining her curvaceous and alluring figure.

...in the sky, above the clouds.

Lan Ji and Zhu Zhuqing stood in the air. Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing's shoulders trembled slightly. Lan Ji patted her shoulder and smiled, "You're very angry, aren't you? Then go ahead. Whether you kill Dai Mubai, or the old poisoner, or even Dai Tianfeng, as long as I'm here, no one can stop you today."

Just then, Zhu Zhuyun finally moved from the training ground below. Dragging her injured body, she instantly transformed into the Netherworld Cat and charged towards Dai Mubai without hesitation. As expected, she was slapped away by Dai Mubai with a single palm strike.

"Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish." Dai Mubai smiled wickedly, five green barbs popping out from his tiger paw, and in one swift step, he rushed towards Zhu Zhuyun.

Just at this critical moment, a black figure suddenly appeared beside Zhu Zhuyun, grabbing Dai Mubai's tiger claw with one hand and stopping him in his tracks.

A surge of powerful aura unique to Title Douluos suddenly erupted, and the immense pressure caused the two Title Douluos in the entire training ground, apart from Dai Tianfeng and Dugu Bo, to lose their footing and collapse to the ground.

Dai Tianfeng was stunned, Dugu Bo was stunned, Dai Mubai was stunned, and even Zhu Zhuyun, who had long been resigned to death, was stunned. Everyone present was stunned.

At this moment, four words simultaneously popped into everyone's mind—Title Douluo.

Zhu Zhuyun recognized the person at first glance and uttered two words with difficulty, "Zhu Qing..."

Dai Mubai, as if he had seen a ghost, was so overwhelmed by Zhu Zhuqing's powerful aura that he knelt on one knee, looking down at Zhu Zhuqing's profile and crying out in disbelief, "How could it be you..."

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Zhu Zhuyun, ignoring the big target, and with a slight exertion of force, a snap was heard. The previously arrogant Dai Mubai immediately let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered, "Ah..."

Not satisfied with the sight, Zhu Zhuqing threw Dai Mubai into the air and activated her powerful teleportation skill instantly. Before Dai Mubai could fall, she appeared in front of him and kicked him in the waist.

What followed was a brutal, one-sided beating. Zhu Zhuqing was so fast that Dai Tianfeng and Dugu Bo could barely see her.

Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, Dai Mubai's figure flashed through the air like a cannonball, moving at incredible speed. A piercing scream echoed through the heavens and earth, deafeningly loud.

This caused the soldiers who had previously been angry but dared not speak out because of Dai Mubai's cruel killing of Davis to clap their hands in delight, almost to the point of applauding Neville.

Dai Tianfeng knew he couldn't let Zhu Zhuqing continue beating him, or someone would die. The Star Luo Empire had already lost Davis, and they couldn't afford to lose Dai Mubai as well.

Dai Tianfeng exchanged a glance with Dugu Bo and said, "Dugu Bo, now, please come with me to save Mu Bai."

"That's exactly what I was thinking too." Since it concerned the fight against the Spirit Hall, Dugu Bo knew he couldn't let Dai Mubai suffer any loss.

Just as the two were about to set off, an aura many times stronger than Zhu Zhuqing's earlier pressed down on them, rendering them unable to move.

Dugu Bo and Dai Tianfeng's expressions changed instantly. They looked up at the same time and saw a slender, tall figure standing in the vast sky beneath the swirling clouds, slowly descending.

2kxs.la

He looked to be around twenty years old, dressed in a long black robe, with long ice-blue hair, a handsome face, and wearing black shoes with ice-blue lotus petals under his feet. Who else could it be but Lan Ji?

Although they had already guessed that Lan Ji had reached the Title Douluo level, they never imagined that he would be so powerful. Despite being both Title Douluos, Lan Ji's overwhelming pressure rendered both of them immobile.

This reminded Dugu Bo of someone: Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall.
