Chapter 521 Desperate Xu Tianran and the Great Purge (4k)
Xu Zihuang grabbed Xu Tianran's head with his right hand, as if in response to his movements, countless dark purple flames of destruction began to burn from the void.
The entire study room, which was made of special rare metal, was completely destroyed in this deep purple sea of fire. Also melting away was Shadow Douluo Xuechen who was hiding next to Xu Tianran.
Shadow Douluo Xuechen's martial spirit is called Shadow Dragon Dagger, and this martial spirit is occasionally passed down in later generations. The Shadow Dragon Dagger itself possesses the ability of space attributes and is unpredictable. It is especially good at concealment and assassination.
Shadow Douluo Xuechen was also valued by Xu Tianran because of these abilities, and he has always been Xu Tianran's personal guard. But unfortunately, he met Xu Zihuang.
When Xu Zihuang walked into Xu Tianran's study, he sealed the space around Shadow Douluo Xuechen. Relying on the absolute suppression of the power of space control, Shadow Douluo Xuechen's figure hidden in the void was instantly imprisoned and unable to move. This made Xu Tianran isolated and helpless just now.
Of course, even if Shadow Douluo Xuechen intervenes, it can't change the outcome.
Shadow Douluo Xuechen's eyes were full of despair. Suppressed by the power of space, he could not even make a sound. His soul and body were burned into nothingness by the flames of destruction.
Shadow Douluo Xuechen's tragic end made Xu Tianran feel even more frightened and timid.
At this moment, figures floated up from inside the palace, and the dark humanoid soul guides emitted strong soul power fluctuations. The astonishing pressure made the sky and the earth seem to be shaking.
Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Group! The thumb in the hand of the protector of the Sun and Moon Empire, the true power of the emperor.
At the forefront of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Group, an old man floated quietly into the air, looking uncertainly at Xu Zihuang and Xu Tianran who were in a sea of deep purple fire.
Seeing Kong Deming's arrival, Xu Tianran felt as if he had grasped the last life-saving straw, and roared at the top of his lungs: "Mr. Kong, these rebellious officials and traitors are guilty of the following crimes, please catch them quickly!"
Kong Deming's eyes slowly fixed on Xu Zihuang. He was a quarter of the royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire, so how could he be unfamiliar with the special and domineering destructive attributes of the Zihuang Sky-Destroying Dragon Martial Spirit inherited from the royal family?
Xu Zihuang has shown such ability, which is enough to explain a lot of things. This was not an assassination plan originally involving the three major empires of the Douluo Continent, but an internal dispute within the royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire.
He also had no idea that Yu Tianhuang, who had assassinated Xu Tianran, was actually a royal child of the Sun and Moon Empire. Judging from the aura and quality of the destructive flames, the purity of the bloodline is extremely rare in the tens of thousands of years of inheritance of the royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire.
Seeing Kong Deming's delay in taking action, Xu Tianran couldn't help but shouted again eagerly.
"Lao Kong!"
"Xu Tianran, shut your mouth." Xu Zihuang's cold eyes crushed Xu Tianran's face into the metal floor. The hard metal floor was twisted, and Xu Tianran, who was kneeling on the ground, could only make a painful 'wuwu' sound.
Xu Zihuang stretched out his right foot and stepped on Xu Tianran's back, and then forcefully tore off Xu Tianran's remaining arm. During this process, the sounds of broken bones and broken flesh can be clearly heard.
The fracture was a mess of blood and flesh. Warm, bright red blood was still gushing out from it.
"Woooooooooooo-" The severe pain caused Xu Tianran's body to spasm continuously, and his whimpers became more rapid and shrill.
Orange and Ye Guyi watched the scene in front of them without changing their expressions, but Orange hugged Xu Xiyan tighter.
Kong Deming frowned and scolded Xu Zihuang in a deep voice: "That's enough. I don't want to participate in the disputes within the royal family. Since you have achieved your goal, why bother to torture him like this again?"
Kong Deming is a typical person who doesn't care about worldly affairs. He is obsessed with soul tools all his life and seldom deals with other things. In his opinion, as the emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire, Xu Tianran was humiliated in every possible way in such an unbearable manner, which would insult the majesty of the royal family. He still hoped that Xu Zihuang could give Xu Tianran a decent death.
"Did Xu Tianran show any mercy to me when his family was trying to kill me? Why didn't I see you pretending to be a guest?!"
Xu Zihuang glanced sideways at Kong Deming and smiled instead of being angry. His eyes instantly turned into brilliant gold, and he shouted coldly with slightly focused gaze.
"Get away!"
Under Xu Zihuang's gaze, Kong Deming discovered that the surrounding space began to distort violently, forming a twisted golden and silver vortex. The center of this golden and silver vortex was right on his chest.
Kong Demington felt his scalp numb, and he subconsciously released his natal soul guide, the Silver Moon Light Mask, almost immediately. While nine black soul rings as dark as ink rose from his feet, a bright silver moon also hung high behind him.
A shocking scene appeared. The silver moon god's light shield that once caused Du Buushi to suffer so much was torn into pieces in an instant in the explosion of this golden and silver vortex. The terrifying power of space raged, silver light flashed, and countless bottomless space cracks appeared above the entire palace. Even bright starlight can be seen in these space cracks that are difficult to heal.
Neither side used soul skills. This was a collision of pure space power.
Kong Deming fell to the ground in embarrassment. He was horrified and retracted the Silver Moon God's light shield in time to protect himself. A layer of strange silver armor suddenly lit up on his body. His silver armor is different from ordinary humanoid soul guides. It is completely mirror-like. On the chest is a huge bright silver gem that extends from the chest to the lower abdomen.
All the light from the Silver Moon Martial Spirit behind him naturally merged into it. Powerful silver light bloomed in the crystal on his chest, making Kong Deming look like a small silver sun at this time.
Kong Deming had cold sweat streaming down his forehead. He truly felt the threat to his life. If the golden and silver space vortex Xu Zihuang released just now locked onto his head instead of his chest, he would probably have suffered heavy injuries even if he didn't die.
Xu Zihuang's power far exceeded his expectations.
Xu Zihuang withdrew his gaze coldly, without even looking at Kong Deming again, and kicked Xu Tianran away again, causing his figure to sink deeply into a metal pillar in the palace.
Xu Tianran, who had lost his limbs, looked extremely terrifying. Blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, he was breathing heavily, and the expression on his face was completely distorted.
Under Xu Tianran's ferocious gaze, Xu Zihuang chuckled lightly and threw the left arm that was torn from Xu Tianran's body like garbage.
The deep purple flame of destruction burned from the void again. The flesh and blood on Xu Tianran's left arm burned away, leaving only a left arm soul bone that was silver in color and reflected eight colors of light, suspended in the air.
When this soul bone was revealed in its entirety, rich soul power fluctuations immediately overflowed from it. Various elemental energies in this space are attracted uncontrollably and linger around this soul bone.
Although the soul beast resources in the Sun and Moon Empire were far inferior to those in the Douluo Continent, the soul bones that Xu Tianran was interested in were definitely extraordinary.
This left arm soul bone came from a Silver Moon Wolf King with thirty thousand years of cultivation. Not only is the soul bone's integrity and quality excellent, it also inherits the Silver Moon Wolf King's powerful ability to control attributes.
After all, the Silver Moon Wolf King with a cultivation level of ten thousand years or above can be ranked in the first echelon among all types of soul beasts.
During this process, Xu Zihuang walked up to Xu Tianran again and smiled coldly.
"Xu Tianran, it was you who exiled me back then and made me fall into an abyss without any hope. Today, I will also let you feel what despair is."
As he spoke, huge space gates quietly appeared behind him.
Ever since he completed the fusion with the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord, Xu Zihuang's mental power has been infinitely close to the true god level. As long as he is willing, his mental power can even cover nearly half of the continent in a single thought.
Now if you want to connect to the Huanglong Space, you no longer need to use the external soul bone Huanglong Claw as a medium.
Groups of well-ordered and well-equipped soul engineers walked out through the space gate. They are the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Group headed by Xu Tianyuan, the Terrorclaw Soul Instructor Group headed by Liao Mengkai, the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Group headed by Luan Feng, and the original Emperor Dragon Soul Instructor Group headed by Wang Yao and Yaoyang.
Except for the original Emperor Dragon Soul Mentor Group, the remaining members of these four soul mentor groups had different reactions when they saw Xu Tianran's miserable condition. However, they quickly understood the situation at the scene.
Wang Yao and Yaoyang looked up at Xu Zihuang's back with burning eyes, and with excitement on their faces they led the former Emperor Dragon Soul Mentor Group to kneel down on one knee towards Xu Zihuang.
"Xu Tianran's family colluded with the evil soul master to seek power and usurp the throne. They are actually traitors and traitors! Today, King Zihuang leads us to Fengtian Jingnan and put down the rebellion here. May the glory of the sun and moon shine on the mainland forever! Long live King Zihuang! Long live Your Majesty!"
Luan Feng immediately led the fire phoenix soul instructor group to echo in unison.
"Long live King Zihuang! Long live Your Majesty!"
Xu Tianyuan and Liao Mengkai reacted quickly and also kneeled down to Xu Zihuang with the Emperor Dragon Soul Instructor Group and the Terrorclaw Soul Instructor Group. The situation in front of us is already clear. Anyone who is not a fool will choose to side with Xu Zihuang.
"Long live King Zihuang! Long live Your Majesty!"
Excited cheers resounded throughout the Sun Moon Empire Palace, and other guards in the palace began to gather here. What they saw at this time was the scene of the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Group, the Terrorclaw Soul Instructor Group, and the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Group swearing allegiance to Xu Zihuang in front of Xu Tianran.
For a moment, these guards were all stunned on the spot.
"How dare you betray me?!" Xu Tianran, who looked pale, roared with all his strength as the anger and despair in his heart reached its extreme. But his vocal cords were injured long ago when Xu Zihuang crushed the metal floor, and he couldn't make any sound at all. This feeling of powerlessness made him almost collapse.
Not long after, another short and fat figure passed through the sky, knelt down in front of Xu Zihuang and saluted.
"Greetings to King Zihuang! Greetings to His Majesty!"
The person who came was none other than Jing Hongchen, the master of Mingde Hall, with a pair of small eyes flashing with excitement and shock. He was able to arrive in time because he received a message from Xu Zihuang in advance.
Behind him were a group of core members of Mingdetang.
The light in Xu Tianran's cloudy eyes gradually dimmed. At this moment, he finally realized what it felt like to be betrayed by everyone. The betrayal of Master Jing Hongchen of Mingde Hall would hit him even harder than those of the three Hand of the Nation soul masters.
Xu Zihuang turned around and calmly accepted everyone's kneeling. Then he looked expressionlessly in the direction of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Group.
Everyone in the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Group was trembling slightly. Not only because of Xu Zihuang's powerful strength, he was afraid of him, but also because he was forced by Xu Zihuang's current momentum.
Momentum is a mysterious thing, but it is a real thing.
"It turns out you are Zhengxuan's son." Kong Deming said in a deep voice with a complicated expression. In the past few decades, he has been in seclusion to strive for the tenth-level soul master realm, and has never been interested in worldly affairs. However, he had also heard about the outstanding direct descendant of the royal family and had given him some advice several times.
Although he could not be called a master and apprentice after several times of guidance, Kong Deming was still very optimistic about the junior.
Decades have passed, and when he saw Xu Zhengxuan's son Xu Zihuang appearing here like the reincarnation of cause and effect, he felt somewhat emotional.
After pondering for a moment, Kong Deming calmed down his emotions and waved his hand in the direction behind him.
Without any hesitation, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineers also knelt down and saluted Xu Zihuang, swearing their allegiance. It can be seen from this that Kong Deming has a high prestige among the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Group.
Xu Zihuang had anticipated this in advance, so he took action to suppress Kong Deming before. His purpose is to establish his authority. Although he knew that Kong Deming would most likely make the right choice in the end, he hoped that Kong Deming could use this to recognize himself.
Xu Tianran was completely desperate. The continuous loss of vitality and blood made his own condition worse and worse. Unable to resist, he could only watch Xu Zihuang replace him.
All of this was done deliberately by Xu Zihuang. He was going to take away everything Xu Tianran had so cruelly.
Later, Xu Zihuang took Xu Xiyan, who was still sleeping, from Juzi's arms, allowing Xu Xiyan to be worshiped by everyone. Although it is just a small detail, it touches the softest place in Tangerine's heart.
Xu Zihuang stood still with Xu Xiyan in his arms and finally began to give orders.
"The original Emperor's Dragon Soul Instructor Group will be renamed as the Demonic Whale Soul Instructor Group today to take over the vacancy of the Evil Lord Soul Instructor Group. Hongchen Hall Master, it will be up to you to cooperate with the five major Soul Instructor Groups of the Protector's Hand to eliminate Mingdu. Finally, let The troops in the former Tianhun Empire have withdrawn from the country and returned the territory to the Tianhun Empire as a show of sincerity. I will be enthroned in seven days in the southern suburbs of Mingdu. I must invite the top officials of the three original empires of Douluo Continent to come. This ceremony, especially Shrek Academy."
Xu Zihuang raised his head and looked to the east, smiling uncontrollably.
"I wonder what the expressions on your faces will be like then?"
