Chapter 398 The Powerful Royal Guardian
"Tang Xiao, do you Haotian Sect really want to be stubborn and accompany the rebellious son to make trouble?" Dai Tianfeng said in a deep voice.
The three elders of Haotian Sect, including Tang Xiao, are all Titled Douluo. His martial soul fusion skills with Zhu Minjun cannot deal with four Titled Douluo at the same time, not to mention that Tang Xiao's strength has already exceeded level 95.
Tang Xiao smiled faintly and said: "Your Majesty, what is stubborn? We Haotian Sect are just getting along with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and want to lend him a hand. As for treason, I think Your Majesty should understand how to define treason?"
When Davis ascended the throne, Haotian Sect was not a thug who killed the king, but a hero who protected the country.
Fathers and sons met in battle many times in history, but in front of the entire royal family, openly committing patricide and regicide, the situation of these royal children is quite delicate.
At this time, you must not take sides, even if you are held accountable afterwards, at least you can save your life. Otherwise, if they stand on the wrong side, what awaits them will be a dead end.
"I underestimated you, my rebellious son. In this case, let me see your strength."
Dai Tianfeng shouted, and the White Tiger Martial Spirit instantly completed the possession. Nine soul rings of yellow, purple, black, black, black, black, appeared under his feet.
Although Dai Tianfeng is over 70 years old, he has the strength of a Titled Douluo and has not reached the age of twilight. The moment the breath of the 93rd-level Titled Douluo was exposed, the tiger roar quickly spread throughout the Xingluo City.
Once, Dai Tianfeng was threatened by the strong men of the Spirit Hall. In order to prevent the Spirit Hall from really carrying out a decapitation operation, he arranged a lot of secret guards in the palace and the city.
As the tiger roared, these secret guards quickly moved towards his current position.
Queen Zhu Minjun also opened her martial soul. Her martial soul is the Nether Spirit Cat, but her soul power is only level 84.
"Since your majesty is unwilling to give up the throne in a peaceful way, Tang can only take extraordinary measures." As he spoke, Tang Xiao and the three elders of Haotian Sect activated their martial spirits at the same time.
Only Dai Tianfeng, the titled Douluo, is in the Xingluo Empire, but in fact, there is another titled strongman hiding in the palace.
Only Dai Tianfeng knows about this matter, and even Davis is unaware of it. Moreover, this man will only take action when the royal family is in crisis; even if the Xingluo Empire is invaded and only Xingluo City is left, he will not be moved.
"For many years, no one has dared to take action in the palace. It seems that this time, I need to take action." An old man with simple clothes and a haggard face suddenly appeared in front of Dai Tianfeng.
Davis was surprised to see the old man's dress and said, "Shi Shanyue, you are still alive!"
The old man was originally a supporter of the previous Xingluo royal family. Before Dai Tianfeng succeeded to the throne, he had faded out of the soul master world. Davis learned from the family history within the royal family that Shi Shanyue had problems with his cultivation and left the royal family early to find a solution.
Unexpectedly, all this was a sleight of hand. Over the years, he has been guarding the Xingluo royal family in the dark.
"Youngster, you should call me grandpa." Shi Shanyue narrowed his eyes slightly.
"He is just a dying man. The three elders, you go deal with Dai Tianfeng, let me meet him." After saying that, Tang Xiao swung the Clear Sky Hammer and took the initiative to rush forward.
"Old Shi, I'm sorry to bother you this time." Dai Tianfeng said respectfully.
"Back then, my life was given by the late emperor. Now that the royal family is in great trouble, how can I stand idly by."
As he spoke, the trident martial spirit in Shi Shanyue's hand caught the attack of the Clear Sky Hammer.
"Fifth soul skill, Cloud Breaking Halberd."
A dark black color appeared under his feet, and the trident became extremely sharp, going straight for Tang Xiao's vital point.
Tang Xiao responded calmly, dodging the opponent's attack by dodging the vines.
"Shi Shanyue, I didn't expect you to break through level 97."
The two have the same soul power level. Tang Xiao is young and strong, but Shi Shanyue seems to have more combat experience. In a short period of time, it is impossible for the two to decide the winner.
The three elders of the Haotian Sect are in a stalemate with Dai Tianfeng. It is unrealistic to win in a very short time. They may even lose to Dai Tianfeng.
"Back then, I had the honor to fight with Tang Chen for a few moves, and I also have some insights into the attack methods of the Haotian Hammer. Junior, let me see your strength."
...
Ning Fengzhi and his group naturally caught the movement from the palace.
Although Gu Rong didn't know Shi Shanyue's identity, he could sense the other party's spirit power very clearly. "Davis miscalculated. The strong man hidden in the palace has already made a move. Fengzhi, if I don't go to support, it will be difficult for Tang Zongzhu and his men to gain an absolute advantage."
You know, this is Dai Tianfeng's home court. Tang Xiao and his men's actions are more like assassins. If it takes too much time, and the troops stationed outside the city come back to rescue the emperor, it means the failure of this palace coup.
It's only a matter of time before success, and Ning Fengzhi will never allow failure. But once Gu Rong leaves, it means that he will stay with Tang San.
Since Tang San broke through Soul Douluo, Ning Fengzhi has been unable to figure out his thoughts. Even on some things, Tang San would put forward different opinions. If he was alone with the two of them, Ning Fengzhi felt insecure.
"Uncle Gu, we can't be anxious. Now the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. If we take the initiative to attack, we must choose a favorable time."
Gu Rong retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice: "Tang Xiao seems to be interested in getting closer to us. In this case, let's wait for a while."
There is another very important thing. Davis did not invite the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect to participate in this palace coup. If Gu Rong acted rashly, it would likely arouse Davis's vigilance.
Moreover, before this, they also promised Tang Xiao that they would never appear in front of Davis in the same frame with the strong men of the Haotian Sect.
As the saying goes, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect has received funding from the Haotian Sect, so Ning Fengzhi did not dare to rashly break the plan formulated by Tang Xiao.
"Xiao San, I can't wait any longer. Let's do it now." Dai Mubai stroked his fist and said eagerly.
Tang San held him back and whispered, "Mubai, don't do stupid things. There may be hidden strongmen in the palace. Once you show up in advance, you have no reason to explain why you appear in the palace. Wait a minute, at least Dai Tianfeng can't know your existence."
The first step to let Dai Mubai replace Davis is to find a good reason for him to go out.
If he has no reason, even if he gets the throne, I'm afraid Wuhun Daily will publish a report to discredit him. In addition, under the premise of having a reason, Dai Mubai's enthronement ceremony will be much smoother.
This point is quite similar to Ning Fengzhi's idea.
"Xiao San, once Dai Tianfeng dies, Mubai can go to rescue him in the name of 'clearing the court'. Even if some people outside are skeptical about this, Mubai can also explain that he didn't know Davis' plan, which led to his late arrival."
Hearing this, Tang San raised his eyebrows.
Because the reason Ning Fengzhi found was exactly the perfect way he needed.
Sure enough, Titan said that "Ning Fengzhi is a man of great talent" and it was true.
…
"I didn't expect that after only half a century, the Haotian Sect has already fallen to such a state." Shi Shanyue stood with a halberd in his hand, and said with a sigh.
In the previous fight, Tang Xiao had been firmly suppressed by him.
Without the secret of the Great Sumeru Hammer, the Haotian Hammer spirit can no longer be regarded as the first weapon spirit on the continent.
Tang Xiao had mobilized many people to look for the secret book, but after such a long time, there was still no news. Tang Xiao had to accept the fact that the secret of the Great Sumeru Hammer was lost.
As for Shi Shanyue, he had very experienced combat experience, and with his familiarity with the Haotian Hammer spirit, Tang Xiao could not take advantage of him at all. Moreover, although this guy was half buried in the ground, the strength he exerted was no different from that of a peak level 97 Super Douluo.
With all kinds of unfavorable factors, it seemed reasonable for Tang Xiao to fall into a passive position.
"Old man, don't be too proud too soon. You haven't seen the methods of my Haotian Sect yet." Tang Xiao stood up and snorted coldly.
Shi Shanyue looked very calm under his withered face. "If it is the secret of the ring explosion of the Haotian Hammer, I admit that I can't defeat it. But I am not ignorant of the world these years. If I remember correctly, Tang Chen passed the secret of the ring explosion to Tang Hao across generations. And Tang Hao was killed by the Spirit Hall a few years ago."
"I remember that Tang Hao had a son, but unfortunately, his son's strength before he was killed was far from the prerequisite for teaching the secret of the ring explosion. Therefore, the supreme skills of the Haotian Sect have been lost in your hands."
Tang Xiao's eyes twitched slightly, because the other party's analysis was comprehensive and true.
The Haotian Sect has had a lot of bad luck in the past 20 years. First, it was attacked by the Spirit Hall and was forced to use the battlefield where Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu once fought as the sect's residence. After more than ten years of recuperation, the sect had just started to improve, but Tang Hao was killed and two elders died one after another.
However, facing the crisis of the sect again and again, the Haotian Sect has survived tenaciously. As the leader of the sect, Tang Xiao naturally made great contributions.
"Haotian Zhenshan Zhui!"
How could Tang Xiao swallow this breath when the sect was humiliated.
The moment the eighth soul ring lit up, the momentum of the Haotian Hammer suddenly climbed a lot.
Shi Shanyue took a few steps back calmly and activated the eighth soul skill at the same time.
"Kongming Ji!"
Tang Xiao smiled in his heart. After Ning Fengzhi and others entered the palace, he had already grasped the approximate position of the opponent.
At this moment, Shi Shanyue's retreating position was constantly narrowing the distance with Ning Fengzhi and others.
The Haotian Hammer is known for its strength and destructive power. Shi Shanyue's martial soul is more like a precise scalpel.
Facing the Haotian Hammer with a large and wide attack range, he used his soul skills while also deliberately avoiding it.
…
“Uncle Gu, get ready.” Ning Fengzhi said in a deep voice, looking at the battlefield getting closer and closer to them.
Gu Rong nodded, hiding in the dark, and sent a voice message to Tang Xiao.
Tang San and Dai Mubai were also ready to attack in order to ensure a one-shot kill.
Hearing Gu Rong's words, Tang Xiao immediately got ready.
As the chaotic cloak hammer technique was used, Shi Shanyue was constantly forced back by him.
"Now, the ninth soul skill, the thousand-pound roaring sky strike." Tang Xiao took the lead.
The ninth soul skill is the trump card of every Title Douluo. Once it is activated, it means a desperate fight.
Shi Shanyue and his soul power level are equivalent. As Title Douluo, it is easy to defeat the opponent, but it is a pipe dream to kill an opponent of the same level.
Shi Shanyue was fearless and activated the eighth soul skill again to fight back.
"The seven treasures turn out to have colored glaze, the seven treasures have names, and the seven treasures are called the true bodies of the seven treasures." Ning Fengzhi quickly made a move.
Several colorful lights sank into Gu Rong's body.
Gu Rong's current strength has reached the peak of level 95. With Ning Fengzhi's full support, his strength has vaguely broken through the threshold of level 97.
"The bone dragon goes out to sea, soars into the sky, and is free and unrestrained. It is at level three, and the wind follows it."
"The ninth soul skill, bone transformation dragon."
Gu Rong's momentum reached its peak, and the huge figure of the bone dragon rose into the sky.
The bone dragon opened its mouth and aimed directly at Shi Shanyue.
"What!" Shi Shanyue was shocked.
Before this, he had never felt the breath of Gu Rong and others. Now there is the ninth soul skill of the Clear Sky Hammer in front, and the bone dragon sneak attack behind him.
Under attack from both sides, he had no time to defend.
"The eighth soul skill, the boundless tyrant thorn!" Dai Mubai took the initiative to choose to attack in order to ensure that Shi Shanyue would be killed.
His eighth soul skill comes from a sea soul beast. In the situation at sea, it is almost impossible to obtain a suitable soul ring.
Therefore, this funny scene appeared. The evil tiger king martial spirit opened its mouth, and what came out of its mouth was not energy waves or fangs, but sea urchin thorns.
"Ninth Soul Skill, Thousand Shadows Halberd."
Shi Shanyue's face was no longer calm, but became extremely ferocious.
The trident martial spirit turned into thousands in front of him, and under his control, countless tridents shot out in all directions.
At the same time, on the battlefield on the other side, the three elders were obviously unable to cope with the Nether White Tiger.
Davis focused on the battlefield around him, and he did not notice the figure of a bone dragon in the distance.
After years of practice, Davis's strength has reached the level of a high-level soul emperor. But he had no chance to intervene in the battle between the three elders and Dai Tianfeng.
"Damn, this old guy actually has such a backhand."
Davis was extremely anxious at the moment. Once the Haotian Sect failed, he would not even have a chance to escape in the palace. Moreover, the only possible foreign aid, Han Yu, had already left Canaan City and his whereabouts were unknown.
During such a long period of preparation, Davis had sent people to find Han Yu many times, hoping to get his help. The first few times, he sent people to deliver letters. As expected, they were all blocked by Dugu Bo.
Not long ago, he went to Canaan City in person. Although he was received by Dugu Bo, he had inquired in the city and confirmed that Han Yu had left Canaan City for nearly two years.
In the current situation, Davis had to think about his own way out.
After thinking about it, he had to leave the palace first to have a chance to go to Canaan City.
At the beginning, Han Yu told him that a property belonging to him would be permanently reserved in Canaan City.
"Weiss, what should we do?" Zhu Zhuyun asked nervously.
