We'll still kill your emperor!

Chapter 342 We'll still kill your emperor!

"Dugu Bo, how dare you openly attack our Crown Prince in the Star Luo Empire! I'm not going to listen to your explanations anymore, just die!"

The roar was like a thunderclap that exploded in the sky above Xingluo City, making the shop signs on both sides of the street buzz and the copper bells on the eaves shake wildly, but they could not make a single clear sound.

Pedestrians were terrified. The once bustling street was now deserted. Vendors didn't even bother to pack up their goods, scrambling into the depths of the alleys, only daring to peek through the cracks in the doors at the area shrouded in terrifying spiritual power.

The pebbles, carried by an invisible gust of air, clattered against the doors and windows, adding to the sense of impending doom.

The speaker was none other than the Guardian Douluo of the Star Luo Empire—White Tiger Douluo. At this moment, his beard and hair stood on end, and his aged face was flushed red with extreme rage, with blood seemingly seeping from his wrinkles.

A pair of turbid tiger eyes widened like copper bells, emitting a cold light capable of tearing people apart. His level 98 soul power poured out without reservation, and the surrounding air seemed to be squeezed by an invisible hand, making a teeth-grinding squeezing sound. Even the light seemed to be distorted by this pressure, becoming sluggish.

The next second, the White Tiger Douluo's body suddenly expanded, and pale golden spirit rings rose from his feet like a tide.

Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, red—nine spirit rings were arranged in an orderly fashion, radiating a suffocating pressure.

The yellow and purple spirit rings still carried a hint of gentleness, but the four black spirit rings and the last blood-red spirit ring were like the eyes of a giant abyss beast, locked tightly on the two figures below.

With a deafening roar that shook the heavens and overturned the tavern signs on the street, he transformed into a giant white tiger with a shoulder height of tens of meters. Its striped fur was like the finest brocade, and every hair shimmered with a metallic luster. Its sharp claws gleamed with a cold light, as if they could tear the heavens and the earth apart. Its thick tail was like a steel whip, and with a gentle flick, it brought up a howling wind.

The enormous tiger claw, carrying earth-shattering power, slammed down towards Dugu Bo and Xue Xing like a dark cloud that blotted out the sun.

A gust of wind howled past, instantly ripping off the bluestone paving stones. The debris, mixed with dust, formed a terrifying shockwave that swept outwards. Wherever it passed, candied hawthorn stands were snapped in half, steamers for buns were overturned, and snow-white buns, mixed with mud, rolled all over the ground. The usually bustling market had become the prelude to a scene of carnage.

Seeing the tiger claw that was several meters in diameter, Xue Xing was terrified. Her face turned ashen, and even her lips lost all color.

His legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground, curling up behind "Dugu Bo," his body trembling like a leaf.

The prince's magnificent brocade robe was covered in dust, and his usually meticulously styled hair was disheveled, with a few strands sticking to his sweaty forehead.

His lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence. His eyes were filled with despair, and he could only cling tightly to the hem of "Dugu Bo's" clothes, his knuckles turning white from the force, as if it were his only lifeline.

However, just as the tiger's claws were about to touch the two of them, a sudden change occurred.

A few pure white swan feathers drifted down from the sky, twirling gracefully with an ethereal rhythm as they slowly descended.

Those seemingly delicate feathers were actually filled with terrifying soul power fluctuations. The soul power was so strong that even the air was frozen. The surrounding strong winds were forced back by the pressure emanating from these few feathers and could not get close at all.

Feathers gathered in mid-air, instantly transforming into a massive soul power shield. A pale blue halo rippled like water, and fine runes flowed across the shield's surface. The faint cry of a swan could be heard.

The soul power shield completely enveloped Dugu Bo and Xue Xing, like a solid fortress, isolating them from all external dangers.

The enormous tiger claw slammed heavily onto the soul power shield, instantly causing a violent explosion.

The terrifying shockwave spread out like a tsunami, producing a deafening roar that even shook the distant city walls.

The windows of the houses lining the street shattered instantly, splintering wood. Even the sturdy stone walls were riddled with cracks, as if they were about to collapse at any moment. Amidst the billowing dust, the soul power shield trembled slightly, its pale blue aura flickering but remaining unbreakable. Inside the shield, "Dugu Bo" and Xue Xing remained completely unharmed.

Xue Xing slowly raised his head, looking at the pale blue halo. The fear on his face gradually gave way to astonishment. He even subconsciously reached out and touched his body to make sure he wasn't missing any limbs. Dugu Bo, on the other hand, slightly raised his eyes and looked at the figure slowly descending from the sky. A barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

In the sky, an old man in a white robe stood with his hands behind his back. His face was thin, and his beard and hair were all white, but he was in good spirits.

Behind him, a pair of enormous swan wings spread out, their feathers pure white and flawless, each one shimmering with a lustrous sheen. Sunlight shone on the wings, reflecting a soft halo, making him appear as if a deity had descended to earth. This was none other than the Guardian Douluo of the Heaven Dou Empire—the Swan Douluo.

The White Tiger Douluo looked at the Swan Douluo who had suddenly appeared, his huge tiger eyes filled with even more killing intent, his face showing a fierce light as he stared intently at the other party.

His tiger tail thrashed restlessly, whipping up gusts of wind, and a deep roar rolled from his throat, shaking the clouds: "Swan Douluo, does your Heaven Dou Empire want to start a war with our Star Luo Empire?!"

For years, the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire have maintained a facade of peace while constantly embroiled in friction and border skirmishes. Like tigers lying beside each other, they are both wary and covetous. Now, the Heaven Dou Empire's Guardian Douluo has openly obstructed the Star Luo Empire's Guardian Douluo from enforcing the law in the heart of Star Luo City—a blatant provocation that exposes the deep-seated tensions between the two nations.

Upon hearing White Tiger Douluo's words, Swan Douluo's eyes twitched violently, his face turning pale and then red, and he inwardly groaned in despair.

He desperately wanted to shout at White Tiger Douluo that he never wanted to go to war with the Star Luo Empire, and that he was forced into it by the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall!

If he dares to disobey orders, he will face annihilation, and the entire Heavenly Dou Empire may be plunged into eternal damnation because of his momentary hesitation.

But the moment that thought crossed his mind, a chilling, bone-piercing spiritual force locked onto him like a sharp sword. That spiritual force was terrifying beyond measure, as if it came from the deepest hell, carrying a heart-palpitating coldness that almost crushed his soul, making it difficult for him to even breathe.

Swan Douluo's body trembled violently, cold sweat instantly beading on his forehead, soaking the back of his clothes.

Feeling the terrifying mental power that almost crushed him to the ground, Swan Douluo dared not hesitate for a moment and immediately obeyed.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the resentment and fear in his heart, and shouted angrily at the White Tiger Douluo: "Old man, tell me the truth, I've long disliked your Star Luo Empire! My Heaven Dou Empire is going to war with your Star Luo Empire! We not only killed your Crown Prince Davis in the street, but if we have the chance, we will also kill your Star Luo Empire's White Tiger Emperor!"
