Dugu Bo, you must die today!

Chapter 341 Dugu Bo, you must die today!

Davis stared wide-eyed at Huo Yuhao in disbelief, his lips moving as if he wanted to say something, but he could only let out a series of panting sounds.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, staining his chin red. Even in death, he couldn't understand why Dugu Bo wanted to kill him.

Is the Heaven Dou Empire really going to completely break ties with the Star Luo Empire? He was unwilling. He had not yet ascended the throne, had not yet unified the Douluo Continent, and had not yet realized his ambitions. How could he die like this?

His eyes were filled with resentment, horror, and despair as he stared intently at Huo Yuhao, as if trying to etch his image into the depths of his soul.

"Thump!"

Davis's body fell heavily to the ground, his eyes wide open, dying with unresolved grief and shock still lingering in them.

His body twitched a few times, then fell completely still, with only blood still gushing from the large hole in his chest, staining the floor tiles dark red.

"No--!"

A piercing roar suddenly rang out. The gray-robed old man's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Davis lying on the ground. He felt a surge of blood rush to his head, and his head was buzzing as if it were about to explode.

His pupils reflected Davis's fallen figure and the beating heart in Huo Yuhao's hand. That scene was like the sharpest knife, piercing his heart.

The Crown Prince is dead! The heir apparent of the Star Luo Empire has actually died right before my eyes! How can I, a mere guard, still have the face to live in this world?

Everything happened too fast! So fast that he didn't even have time to react! From the moment "Dugu Bo" set up the barrier to the moment Davis's heart was ripped out, only a fraction of a second had passed.

He had clearly pushed his soul power to its limit, yet he couldn't even see his opponent's movements clearly, and could only watch helplessly as the crown prince died before his eyes. This was his dereliction of duty, the shame of his entire life!

But how is that possible?!

Even a level 96 peak Super Douluo couldn't possibly have such terrifying speed! The old man's heart was filled with shock and fear, which made him tremble all over.

He stared at the still-beating heart in Huo Yuhao's hand and roared, "Dugu Bo! How dare you kill my Star Luo Crown Prince! Is the Heaven Dou Empire trying to provoke a war between our two nations?! Aren't you afraid that my Star Luo Empire will mobilize its entire nation to crush Heaven Dou?!"

His voice was shrill, filled with deep grief and despair. The Xuan Tie Giant Bear Martial Soul roared to the sky, and his cat paw smashed the sandalwood table and chairs beside him, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

Huo Yuhao ignored him, glancing at the heart in his hand without a trace of emotion on his face.

To him, Davis was nothing more than a clown, and killing him was just one step in the plan.

He even disdainfully shook his hand, tossing the heart to the ground. The heart landed on the floor tile with a soft "thud," and dark green poisonous gas instantly spread out, corroding the heart without a trace, leaving only a pool of dark green liquid.

He raised his left hand, grabbed Xuexing by the back of her collar, and lifted the trembling, pale-faced Xuexing into his grasp. Xuexing was utterly terrified, her body limp and unable to stand, muttering incessantly, "Kill—"

"Kill them—it's over—war is about to break out—"

Huo Yuhao frowned, channeling a gentle stream of soul power into Xue Xing's body to calm him down temporarily. With Davis's corpse in his right hand, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and suddenly leaped into the air.

"boom!"

Huo Yuhao's soul power erupted, and the pressure of a level 96 peak Super Douluo swept out like a tsunami, instantly shattering the light green barrier with a deafening roar.

The roof of the main hall was blown off, bricks and tiles flew everywhere, dust flew up, beams and pillars broke with a "crack" sound, and the entire main hall was instantly reduced to ruins.

He carried the two men, like a soaring eagle, breaking through the ruins of the main hall and flying towards the most bustling central street of Xingluo City.

His speed was astonishing, leaving a trail of dark green afterimages behind him, tearing the air apart with a sharp whistling sound. He released his soul power without reservation, the pressure of a peak level 96 overwhelming, cracking the ground and shaking the houses wherever he passed, scaring pedestrians into scattering and fleeing in terror.

Upon seeing this, the old man in the gray robe trembled with rage and roared, "You insolent brat! Leave your life behind!"

Before he finished speaking, his soul power had already erupted in full. The pressure of a level 95 Title Douluo was overwhelming. The Netherworld Cat Martial Soul roared to the sky, and its cat paw smashed the broken walls and ruins around it.

He pushed off the ground with both feet, his body shooting out like a cannonball, chasing after Huo Yuhao. The power brought by his martial soul boosted his speed to the extreme, and his robes fluttered in the wind behind him.

His eyes were bloodshot and swollen, like a madman, as he roared incessantly, "Kill him! Avenge the Crown Prince!"

"Kill him! Kill him now!"

The old man chased after the killer, roaring fiercely, his voice filled with grief and despair. The murder of the Crown Prince was undoubtedly a colossal scandal and a profound disgrace for the Star Luo Empire! As the Crown Prince's bodyguard, if the murderer escaped, he would be condemned to death! He would rather die in battle than let the murderer leave Star Luo City alive!

The old man's roar was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a huge uproar in Xingluo City.

The commotion at the Crown Prince's residence was enormous. The deafening roar of the shattering barrier, the old man's screams, and the soaring dark green soul power had already alarmed all the powerful figures in Star Luo City.

The guards of the Crown Prince's residence were the first to react. They rushed in from all directions, weapons in hand, trying to intercept Huo Yuhao, but they were blown away by the terrifying pressure emanating from him, spitting out blood and suffering serious injuries.

"Enemy attack! Someone has broken into the Crown Prince's residence!"

"The Crown Prince has been assassinated! Quickly! Protect the Crown Prince!"

"Seal off the city gates! We cannot let the murderer escape!"

Exclamations and roars rang out one after another, and powerful soul force fluctuations soared into the sky from every corner of Star Luo City.

Deep within the palace, several terrifying auras erupted. These were the hidden Title Douluos of the Star Luo Empire, who sensed the crisis at the Crown Prince's residence and were rushing over at top speed. Leading them was an elderly man with white hair, whose soul power fluctuation reached level ninety-eight—none other than the Star Luo Empire's guardian deity, the White Tiger Ancestor!

In an instant, the entire Star Luo City was in chaos.

Pedestrians scattered in terror, shops slammed shut, and doors banged loudly. Countless guards and soul masters surged in from all directions, while dozens of figures sped through the air, their targets the direction Huo Yuhao had fled. Their faces were filled with anger and murderous intent, vowing to tear the murderer to pieces and avenge the Crown Prince.

The gray-robed old man stared at the dark green figure in front of him, his eyes bloodshot. He secretly vowed: Even if it costs me my life, I will tear Dugu Bo and Xue Xing to pieces to avenge the Crown Prince!

Carrying the bodies of Xue Xing and Davis, Huo Yuhao moved with lightning speed, arriving at the most bustling central street of Xingluo City in the blink of an eye.

It was early morning, and the streets were bustling with people and vehicles, a truly lively scene.

The cries of vendors, the laughter of pedestrians, and the rumble of carriage wheels mingled together, creating a bustling scene of everyday life. When Huo Yuhao's figure appeared in mid-air, the entire street fell silent instantly. Everyone stared in disbelief at the "old man" carrying two people in mid-air, their faces filled with terror, forgetting even to breathe.

The vendor's load fell to the ground, fruit scattering everywhere; pedestrians stopped, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit an egg; the coachman reined in his horse, which let out a terrified neigh.

Huo Yuhao glanced down at Davis's corpse in his hand, a cold smile curving his lips. This was exactly the effect he wanted. He wanted everyone in Star Luo City to know that Crown Prince Davis of Star Luo had died at the hands of the Heaven Dou Empire! He wanted to humiliate the Star Luo Empire and plunge them into chaos!

He abruptly lifted Davis's corpse high above his head, his arms straining to raise it. The body was dressed in bright yellow civilian clothes, a large hole clearly visible in its chest, blood dripping from its limbs onto the bluestone slabs below—a gruesome sight. Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, his voice booming like thunder across Star Luo City, carrying a chilling killing intent that resonated in every corner, even reaching the distant imperial palace: "Star Luo Crown Prince Davis, for the sake of the throne, he has suppressed dissidents by any means necessary! My Heavenly Dou Empire, acting on behalf of Heaven, will kill Davis here today!"

The moment the words fell, Huo Yuhao hurled Davis's body away.

"Bang!"

The body slammed heavily onto the bluestone slabs of Central Avenue with a dull thud. Blood splattered everywhere, staining the surrounding ground red—a gruesome sight. The corpse, dressed in bright yellow casual clothes, stood out starkly in the morning light, instantly shattering any lingering hope.

The entire Star Luo City fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

Moments later, panic spread like a plague.

"The Crown Prince is dead! The Crown Prince has been murdered! This is terrible! His Highness the Emperor has been killed right at his doorstep!"

"It's Poison Douluo! It's Poison Douluo from the Heaven Dou Empire!"

"The Heavenly Dou Empire is about to wage war! Run!"

"Where are all the Title Douluos of the Star Luo Empire? Are they all dead? His Highness the Crown Prince actually managed to kill them all north of Star Luo City!"

Screams, cries, and running sounds mingled together, plunging Xingluo City into complete chaos.

Huo Yuhao, carrying Xue Xing who was so terrified she couldn't even speak, transformed into a streak of dark green light and sped towards the outskirts of the city.

However, before Huo Yuhao could run away, countless angry roars and the sound of air being torn apart followed closely behind him. Golden, red, and blue soul power lights shot into the sky, like a sky full of stars, and had already surrounded Huo Yuhao.

"Dugu Bo, you're not leaving! Today, you must die here!"
