On the ground, shouts of killing shook the sky, swords clashed, and soul power collisions stirred up layers of air waves. Everywhere was a battlefield of life and death. However, they who were in this chaos unexpectedly became the safest group of people. Because the powerful soul cannons of the Sun and Moon Empire were not aimed at the ground at this moment, but directly at the sky!

This choice is not without reason.

The Mingdu Palace is the power center of the Sun-Moon Empire and symbolizes the majesty and glory of the empire.

If the artillery fire was poured onto the ground near the imperial palace, it would inevitably cause immeasurable damage to the palace building itself and even the entire Ming capital city.

Attacking the sky can minimize this risk and keep the destructive power within a controllable range.

However, for those powerful people in the high altitudes, this sudden change was like a bolt from the blue, plunging them into an unprecedented crisis.

At the level of Titled Douluo, one can already sense the dangerous omens in the dark.

On ordinary days, these omens may be insignificant, but once they appear, it means that they are about to face a life-and-death test.

At this moment, a strong sense of crisis suddenly enveloped the hearts of all Titled Douluo without warning, like a maggot on the heel, which could not be shaken off.

This feeling was so real and so strong, as if death would come and devour them in the next second.

Fear spread like a tide, causing even these powerful men who were usually so powerful to feel palpitations.

They subconsciously looked down, trying to find the source of the crisis.

I saw the Mingdu Palace below, which had turned into a steel jungle at some point.

Thick gun barrels, like the fangs of a giant beast, protruded from all over the palace, pointing straight to the sky. Inside the muzzles, strong lights flickered, emitting frightening energy fluctuations, indicating the terrifying power contained within.

Each of these huge cannons can be regarded as the pinnacle of soul guide weapons.

Even the smallest one has a diameter of more than one foot, which is enough to shatter solid rocks, let alone flesh and blood!
Old Xuan glanced around and found an exceptionally eye-catching cannon on a high platform.

The huge cannon was completely black, with intricate patterns carved on the barrel, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

The muzzle of the gun has an astonishing diameter of two meters, like a huge black hole, as if it is going to swallow up everything in the world!
Even Elder Xuan, who didn't have a deep understanding of soul guides, could tell that this was definitely a super soul guide of level eight or above!
There might even be some even more terrifying fixed-type soul guides among them!
At this moment, Elder Xuan finally understood why Elder Mu had repeatedly emphasized that the soul guidance technology of the Sun-Moon Empire should not be underestimated.

"Han Yu is right! Attacking the palace was a wrong choice."

Old Xuan sighed in his heart, his face full of bitterness.

As an empire famous for its soul guides, how could they not be on guard against attacks on their palace?

There was a flash of cold light in Du Bu Si's eyes, and he was about to use some means to lead everyone to break out.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Long Xiaoyao's dragon body, which was already extremely huge, began to change again at this moment!

The originally solid dragon scales suddenly became somewhat illusory, as if covered by a layer of mist. However, this illusory figure suddenly increased in size.

Long Xiaoyao's body began to undergo drastic changes. Scales emerged from under his skin, flashing a dark light. His eyes burned with golden flames. His huge dragon wings spread out, covering the sky and the sun, and his roar was deafening.

He transformed into a black dragon that was a thousand meters long, hovering in the air like a moving mountain.

Du Bu Si and Xuan Lao, as well as the many Titled Douluo behind them, were all shocked by this sudden behemoth.

Long Xiaoyao waved his huge dragon wings, stirring up a strong wind, trying to force them back.

"Retreat!" Xuan Lao made a prompt decision and shouted. He knew that facing such a powerful opponent, fighting hard would only increase casualties.

The masters of Shrek Academy had already received the instructions from Master Xuan, and when they heard the order to retreat, they immediately understood. They all feinted, pretended to attack, and then quickly withdrew from the battle and retreated to the rear.

Seeing the people from Shrek Academy retreat, Du Bu Si knew that the situation was hopeless, so he could only reluctantly order a retreat. While retreating, he couldn't help but curse a few times in a low voice, and was obviously very annoyed by the failure of this operation.

The Titled Douluo turned into streaks of light, streaking across the sky and quickly disappearing into the distance.

They retreated so quickly that they disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Upon seeing this, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult also raised his hand, signaling his men to stop chasing.

He looked down at the densely packed soul guide gun muzzles below and couldn't help but feel a little scared.

The military strength of the Sun-Moon Empire was indeed formidable, far beyond the capability of his sect alone to contend with.

Xu Tianran stood on the high platform, looking at the scene in front of him, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Everything went according to his plan. This operation was very successful. It not only struck a blow to the power of Shrek Academy and Body Sect, but also demonstrated the powerful strength of the Sun-Moon Empire.

Ju Zi stood beside Xu Tianran, looking at the man who was in control of the situation with admiration in her heart. She noticed that Xu Tianran's legs had recovered and he could stand and walk.

After a closer look, she discovered that Xu Tianran was wearing a pair of exquisitely crafted prosthetic limbs, which could not be seen at all if one did not look carefully.

"Ninth-level soul guide device!" Juzi exclaimed in her heart. She recognized that the prosthesis used by Xu Tianran was actually a ninth-level soul guide device.

The ninth-level soul guide is a top-level soul guide that can only be used by Titled Douluo-level masters. Each of them has the power to destroy the world.

Juzi thought he knew Xu Tianran very well, but he didn't expect that he had such a strong strength.
Being able to use a ninth-level soul guide meant that Xu Tianran was at least an eighth-level Soul Douluo, and it was even possible that he had already reached the ninth-level Soul Douluo realm.

"His Royal Highness is so powerful!" Ju Zi was shocked. At the age of just over 30, he already possessed such a powerful strength. Such talent was rare even in the Shrek Academy, which was full of talented people.

Xu Tianran loosened his hand around Juzi's waist, looked at the beauty in front of him, a trace of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, and he sighed: "You are very good, very good. You are still the same as before."

Juzi looked up at him. She could actually see a touch of emotion in the eyes of the Crown Prince. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "I'm sorry, Your Highness. I can't really like you. I only have the gratitude between master and servant to you."

Xu Tianran's eyes could not help but linger on the slender figure for a moment, with a trace of regret in his eyes. Orange, this name as dazzling as the warm spring sun, at this moment set off an inexplicable wave in his heart.

He stared at Orange and turned away. The elegant dress outlined her exquisite curves, like a budding orchid, exuding a faint fragrance.

His eyes unconsciously fell on that delicate skin, as delicate as jade, whiter than snow, as if it would melt with the slightest touch.

Deep in his heart, an indescribable desire quietly grew, but he forcibly suppressed it.

What a pity, he sighed in his heart, if that incident hadn't happened, if he didn't have such a heavy responsibility, perhaps, he could really... This thought flashed through his mind like lightning, but was quickly extinguished by him.

He can't and doesn't deserve to have such a pure feeling.

He has more important things to do. His fate has long been determined, and he is destined to walk alone on this thorny road.

Orange, after all, can only be a passer-by in his life, a beautiful phantom that makes his heart ripple but he cannot touch it.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the strange emotions in his heart, and regained his usual calmness and dignity.

“Act as planned and drive them westward.

All soul guide teams in the east, south, and north are under the highest level of martial law. They must not be allowed to escape from these three directions."

He gave the order in a cold tone, as if his absence of consciousness just now was just an illusion of others.

"Yes!" Orange responded respectfully, turned around and left quickly. She did not notice the complicated gaze behind her. Her mind had already been focused on the action that was about to begin, and her heart was filled with worry and uneasiness about the future.

At this moment, a dazzling stream of light streaked across the night sky and lit up in the distant horizon.

This ray of light was extremely strange, as if it had life. After rising into the air, it turned into a green monster face, hideous and terrifying. It lingered in the night sky for a long time, as if silently announcing something.

The people of Shrek Academy who were evacuating at full speed noticed the sudden light at the first moment.

"Okay!" A hint of joy flashed in Old Xuan's eyes. He couldn't help but punched his left palm and let out a low shout.

However, before the joy in his heart could spread, another red light shot up into the sky, echoing the previous green light, and also transformed into a hideous monster face, floating in the night sky, emitting a terrifying pressure.

Xuan Lao's face suddenly changed, and an ominous premonition suddenly surged in his heart. He shouted in a deep voice: "Go! Everyone, leave the West City, now!"

Before he finished speaking, he had transformed into a stream of light and rushed towards the west city gate. Seeing this, the others did not dare to delay and followed closely behind him.

Du Bu Si was flying in the air not far from Xuan Lao. When he saw the Shrek Academy people suddenly change direction and fly westward, he was shocked and couldn't help shouting: "Xuan Zi, where are you going? Do you really think it's easy to go west without anyone deploying defenses?"

Old Xuan was slightly stunned, thinking to himself, it seems that the Body Sect does have a backup plan and is not completely defenseless. However, they also have their own plans. Although there may be danger in the west, the defenses in the other three directions are more stringent and are definitely not something they can easily break through.

He had to consider the safety of the Shrek Academy team and the Body Sect team. These two teams would participate in the finals tomorrow and could not take the risk of breaking out now. Otherwise, breaking out with the Body Sect would be a good choice.

Xuan Lao said in a deep voice: “Old Poison, we have our own plans, you don’t have to worry.

We will meet again in the future!" He paused, lowered his voice and added, "I'll give you a tip, leave the city immediately, don't stay."

After saying that, he waved his right hand, and the powerful soul power fluctuations instantly tore the surrounding air apart, forming a powerful thrust, pushing everyone from Shrek Academy to fly forward.

The people behind him only felt a flash before their eyes and the sound of wind whistling in their ears. When they steadied themselves again, they were already a hundred meters away.

Old Xuan waved his hand again, and led everyone to transform into streams of light and rush towards the west city gate.

Du Bu Si was slightly stunned. Xuan Lao spoke the last sentence very quickly, obviously not wanting others to hear it, but he still keenly grasped the meaning.

He knew that given Xuan Lao's character, if he said that, he must have a reason. Moreover, he also believed in Xuan Lao's strength. If he dared to stay, he must be sure to get out safely.

He made a prompt decision, waved his hand, and shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone listen up, retreat immediately! Target, the West Gate!" After that, he flashed and rushed towards the West Gate with his own people and the strong men of the Star Luo Empire.

In this raid on the Sun-Moon Empire's palace, their arrangements were obviously more thorough.

The strong men from the Body Sect and the Star Luo Empire quickly rushed into the streets and met up with Princesses Xu Jiujiu and Vina according to the predetermined route.

"Grandpa, is it done?" Princess Vina asked anxiously.

Du Bu Si said helplessly: "It didn't work. The Sun Moon Empire's palace is too heavily guarded, and that shameless old man Long Xiaoyao is indeed here.

Let's go quickly. I just saw some signal from Shrek Academy in the sky. Xuanzi told me to leave the city quickly. They must have arranged something else. Leave immediately and don't stop. "

Xu Jiujiu said: "Senior Du, the people from Shrek Academy won't go with us?"

Du Bu Si snorted and said, "Xuan Zi takes honor very seriously.

Their game wasn't over yet. If they just left like that, wouldn't that give people something to talk about? Shrek Academy always prided itself on being aboveboard, so they wouldn't leave at this time.

Let's go, our thing can't hold too many people anyway. I believe that with the ability of those people in Shrek, even if they suffer a little loss, it won't be too big.

Come to think of it, I am looking forward to seeing how much surprise Xuan Zi's words will bring me. Order your people to set off immediately."

"Okay." Xu Jiujiu was not the type to drag his feet, and he immediately gave the order without hesitation.

On the other side, Elder Xuan led everyone from Shrek Academy out of the city quickly.

Qian Duoduo chased after Master Xuan and said, "Master Xuan, should we go back first? We haven't torn our faces apart yet, and the Benti Sect will have the finals tomorrow." (End of this chapter)
