"Would a dignified Limit Douluo really do something like assassination?"
An aged voice rang out. An old man dressed in luxurious silver robes descended from the sky, giving off an extraordinary aura.
"Oh? Interesting. Level 94, yet you possess this kind of presence. You must be the Sun Moon Empire's true foundation."
Elder Mu saw through the newcomer's cultivation at a glance. Although he was only level 94, his aura was anything but ordinary.
"It's Elder Kong!"
"Elder Kong is here!"
"We're saved!"
"Elder Kong." When Xu Tianran saw Elder Kong arrive, his tense expression finally relaxed.
The Sun Moon Empire's Protector Douluo, Grand Worship of the imperial Worship Hall, possessor of one-quarter imperial bloodline, the Sun Moon Empire's number one soul engineer, Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming.
Whoosh.
In the next instant, another figure appeared in the ruined imperial palace.
It was Dragon Emperor Douluo, Long Xiaoyao.
"Brother Mu…" When Long Xiaoyao saw Mu En's figure, he was momentarily stunned.
"Heh." Mu En did not bother with Long Xiaoyao and merely sneered.
"Leave. With this old man here, you cannot touch them," Kong Deming said in a low voice.
"Hehe. This old man has lived for more than 250 years, and this is the first time I've encountered a Titled Douluo who dares speak so arrogantly to me. Let me see just how strong you, a soul engineer, really are!"
Roar!
Mu En's eyes turned golden, and a majestic dragon roar swept toward Kong Deming.
"Pfft."
Mu En's move was an indiscriminate area attack. There was no one here he needed to care about, so there was no need to worry about injuring his own side.
The experts guarding Xu Tianran all began bleeding from their mouths and noses. Even after activating their defensive soul tools, they could barely resist it. Without those defensive soul tools, they likely would have fainted on the spot.
"A spiritual attack? No, this is even more profound!"
Kong Deming immediately summoned back his Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier and placed it in front of himself.
Long Xiaoyao stood to the side. He discovered that Mu En's Spiritual Power had risen again. Spiritual Power had always been Mu En's specialty, and he had created Sovereign's Descent through his own spirit and bearing.
That was a level Long Xiaoyao could not reach. Perhaps it was because everyone's state of mind was different.
"Brother Mu, if not for that accident, perhaps you would have been drawn into the Divine Realm long ago," Long Xiaoyao muttered to himself.
As for the Sun Moon Empire, he had nothing he wanted to do. He could simply watch coldly from the side. If not for Ye Xishui, he would never have helped Xu Tianran.
By now, the people of the Holy Spirit Cult had already withdrawn. The moment Zhongli Wu discovered Mu En, he had run.
What else could he do if he did not run? Stay behind and be crushed like an ant by Mu En?
Although there were rumors that Mu En was near the end of his life and did not have many years left, he was still a Limit Douluo. Dealing with people like them, who had not reached Limit Douluo, was simply effortless.
"Oh? This soul tool is rather interesting. This old man can see that this soul tool is closely connected to your own body. If it is destroyed, you yourself will suffer quite a backlash, won't you?"
Mu En saw the difference in the Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier at a glance.
"I didn't expect a dignified Limit Douluo to understand soul tools so well. As far as I know, people at your level should focus on Spirit Masters. You should look down on us soul engineers."
Cold sweat appeared on Silver Moon Douluo's forehead. He had not expected this Limit Douluo to be so powerful. In terms of Spiritual Power, Mu En was even stronger than Dragon Emperor Douluo and that Death God Douluo!
Mu En chuckled softly. "The times are changing. Clinging to the old ways only brings suffering. If this old man were not already old and lacking the energy to cultivate soul tools, I would also like to make a Class 9 soul tool for fun."
Kong Deming looked at Mu En warily. Right now, he had made no preparations. The palace's Steel Forest had been almost completely destroyed. The favorable environment was no longer on his side. It would be very difficult for him to stop a Limit Douluo.
If not for Kong Deming carrying his life-bound soul tool, the Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier, he would only be instantly killed before this Limit Douluo.
"Hmm? Brother Mu, the Sun Moon Empire's reinforcements are here. You should leave quickly," Long Xiaoyao said, sensing a large number of experts gathering toward the palace.
Mu En snorted coldly. Naturally, he sensed it too. He still did not bother with Long Xiaoyao and instead looked at Kong Deming.
"Your people arrived quite quickly. Take one more move from this old man!"
Kong Deming instantly raised his vigilance to the highest level.
Roar!
The Light Holy Dragon Martial Soul appeared. A massive Light Holy Dragon coiled around Mu En. Elder Mu's aged body became upright at this moment, and his entire person grew younger, looking about 30 years old.
"Dragon Emperor Domain Suppression Kill!"
Roar!
As Elder Mu spoke the name of the move, the Light Holy Dragon beside him erupted with dazzling radiance, then pounced toward Kong Deming!
Kong Deming's expression changed drastically. He immediately released his Silver Moon Martial Soul.
Two yellow, two purple, and five black. Nine Spirit Rings appeared. The Silver Moon Martial Soul, along with Kong Deming's Spirit Rings, merged into the Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier.
In an instant, Kong Deming's aura rose greatly, and the Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier also shone with brilliant light.
"Moonlight, come!"
Kong Deming roared. It was deep night, with the silver moon hanging high in the sky. Kong Deming borrowed the power of moonlight to amplify his Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier.
Boom!
The dragon soul of the Light Holy Dragon slammed into that silver radiance, triggering a violent explosion. The entire imperial palace trembled under the force of the attack.
Xu Tianran sucked in a cold breath. So this was the might of a Limit Douluo? If that strike had landed on him, he would definitely have been reduced to ashes.
"Tsk. Looks like it didn't have much effect. I'm leaving."
Seeing that this move had not achieved much, Elder Mu's figure became hunched once more, and he disappeared.
Long Xiaoyao watched Mu En leave. After pondering for a moment, he also vanished.
The smoke dispersed.
Silver light still shone amid the dust. Kong Deming had successfully blocked a Limit Douluo's attack.
"Elder Kong won! Elder Kong forced back a Limit Douluo!"
"Long live Elder Kong!"
The surrounding Sun Moon experts immediately cheered. Kong Deming was the Sun Moon Empire's foundation that guarded the nation. It was precisely because he existed that Xu Tianran dared to cooperate with the Holy Spirit Cult.
"Elder Kong, many thanks this time," Xu Tianran walked to Kong Deming's side and bowed.
"Pfft!" At this moment, Kong Deming suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Elder Kong!"
Xu Tianran was shocked. He definitely did not want anything to happen to Kong Deming.
"It's nothing. Just a minor injury."
Kong Deming waved his hand and wiped away the blood.
He looked into the distance. "Tianran, this old man has now witnessed the power of a Limit Douluo. You must still be cautious with the Holy Spirit Cult. After all, they have 2 Limit Douluo."
Xu Tianran nodded heavily. "Elder Kong, I have some ideas and would like to ask for your help. It concerns the Holy Spirit Cult. I need to discuss it with you in detail."
"Mm."
No one knew that after the Douluo Alliance's failed assassination attempt, the legendary Dragon God Douluo had actually come here and fought the Sun Moon Empire's Grand Worship.
This secret would be sealed away tightly.
On a mountain range far from the imperial palace, a group of Evil Spirit Masters had gathered.
Zhongli Wu was standing behind a woman in a red dress. This woman looked extremely sinister, and her body emitted dense blood energy. At first glance, she was exceptionally beautiful, with few women able to compare to her.
But if one looked at her for too long, they would only feel incomparable terror.
"Mother, will Dragon God Douluo's appearance affect our plan? And why has Dragon God Douluo still not died?"
There was only one person Zhongli Wu would call Mother. She was the Holy Spirit Cult's Supreme Leader, Death God Douluo, Ye Xishui.
Ye Xishui crossed her arms. "Mu En. Once this old woman's Death God Pagoda is complete, I'll have enough confidence to kill him. Hurry up and go collect the materials."
Zhongli Wu nodded. "Yes."
