Chapter:158
Late at night, a spatial passage suddenly appeared in an uninhabited alley in Heaven Dou City.
Subsequently, three figures completely shrouded in black robes emerged: Smilla, Panic, and Paris.
Well, since they were doing something bad, it was best to be well-covered, and black robes worked perfectly.
Black robes are the standard attire for all villains appearing in various novels.
Of course, Wang Teng would never admit that his subordinates were villains. Robbing treasures from evil imperialists was called robbing the rich to help the poor, not robbery.
What does it mean to rob the rich to help the poor? It means if you have it and I don't, then taking it is the right thing to do!
Anyway, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was also stolen by the Heaven Dou Royal Family from elsewhere; it wasn't something their Snow Family ancestors originally possessed.
Soon, Smilla and the other two flew directly into the air, heading straight for the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Not long after, the Heaven Dou Imperial Guard stationed at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace entrance saw the three black-robed figures flying from afar.
The ordinary members of the Heaven Dou Imperial Guard stationed in the Imperial Palace were Spirit Elders and Spirit Ancestors; those who could become officers were at least Spirit Kings, senior officers were Spirit Emperors and Spirit Saints, and legion commanders were Spirit Douluo.
Their Heaven Dou Imperial Guard had no way to deal with a Titled Douluo.
Although they could contend with an ordinary Titled Douluo if they fought to the death, Titled Douluo could fly and wouldn't be foolish enough to fight to the death with a Spirit Master legion.
Moreover, Spirit Master legions were most afraid of Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo who possessed large-scale attack abilities.
Smilla and the other two made no attempt to conceal themselves, coming openly, and these Heaven Dou Imperial Guard members were not blind; the three were naturally discovered.
Immediately, a Spirit King-level Heaven Dou Imperial Guard squad leader looked solemn.
Those who could fly in the air, besides Titled Douluo, were only flying-type Spirit Masters or those with special Spirit Abilities. These three black-robed figures had not released their Spirit, and he couldn't see through them, so these three were likely experts above Titled Douluo.
"Three esteemed sirs, please stop. This is the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace. Flying above the Imperial Palace without His Majesty's permission is not allowed!"
If he could, this squad leader also didn't want to speak, after all, these were three Titled Douluo experts. If one of them was displeased, he couldn't block even a casual move from them.
Unfortunately, there was no 'if'. If Emperor Xue Ye knew that three unknown Titled Douluo had come to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace and he didn't stop them, he would be finished when the time came to settle accounts, and it might even implicate his family.
Between two harms, he chose the lesser, so this squad leader had no choice but to bite the bullet.
Smilla and the other two also heard the Heaven Dou Imperial Guard's shouts below, but they ignored them, as their target this time was not them. As long as the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was obtained, there was no need for excessive slaughter.
Seeing these three act as they pleased, showing no intention of stopping, the squad leader also breathed a sigh of relief, at least his life was safe.
It wasn't that he didn't try hard, but the experts were flying in the sky, and he simply couldn't reach them! However, he immediately dispatched his subordinates to report the situation.
However, this squad leader's efforts were in vain, as Smilla and the other two flew very fast. By the time their report reached the top, no one was paying attention to this small detail anymore.
After Smilla and the other two entered the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, they immediately released their Super Douluo auras. After all, they were here to rob today, not to be thieves.
At this, the entire Heaven Dou Imperial Palace erupted.
Every single person in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace sensed the powerful auras of the three.
The first to react was an old man residing in one of the palaces.
"Titled Douluo have arrived? And their aura is so strong!"
The old man could feel that the aura emanating was extremely powerful, far surpassing his own.
Soon, the old man rushed over and intercepted Smilla and the other two. This old man was the Heaven Dou Royal Family's only Titled Douluo, Lightning Douluo.
"May I ask who you three are, and why you are trespassing into my Heaven Dou Imperial Palace at night?"
The closer he got, the more clearly he could feel the auras of Smilla and the other two. Lightning Douluo's expression was grave; the strength of these three black-robed individuals should all be Titled Douluo above rank 95! It seemed today would not end peacefully.
"We heard your Heaven Dou Royal Family possesses the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. As long as you hand over the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, we are unwilling to cause more slaughter. We will take it and leave!"
Panic spoke.
"Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?"
Lightning Douluo was a bit puzzled. He had thought before that they were from Spirit Hall, intending to make a move on the Heaven Dou Royal Family.
After all, on the entire Douluo Continent, he couldn't think of any other force besides Spirit Hall that could dispatch three Titled Douluo with strength above rank 95 at once.
However, since the target of these three was the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, it was uncertain if they were from Spirit Hall.
Of course, it could also be Spirit Hall's probe into the Heaven Dou Empire?
Lightning Douluo didn't want to hand over the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud for nothing. Otherwise, where would the Heaven Dou Empire's dignity be placed?
After all, the Heaven Dou Empire was one of the prominent major forces on the entire Douluo Continent. It couldn't just hand over a treasure based on a mere word. Otherwise, if this matter spread, wouldn't the entire Douluo Continent know that the Heaven Dou Empire was easy to bully?
"The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is the supreme treasure of my Heaven Dou Empire. We will not hand it over!"
Although he said that, when Lightning Douluo spoke, his aura seemed a bit lacking?
"You don't have to hand it over, but then you, this Titled Douluo, will fall today!"
Saying that, Panic released his Spirit: Eye of Death, and the seven black and two red spirit rings on his body glowed.
"Hiss~, two ten-thousand-year spirit rings?"
Lightning Douluo gasped. One must know that even a Titled Douluo with one hundred-thousand-year spirit ring was rare on the entire continent.
What's more, these were two hundred-thousand-year spirit rings, and the preceding seven spirit rings were all black, ten-thousand-year spirit rings at minimum. What kind of divine configuration was this?
"Who are you people?"
"Old man, why so much nonsense? Be quick about it, hand over the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud immediately, or you definitely won't live past tonight, I guarantee it!"
Panic didn't want to waste words with this old man. He was just a rank 93 Titled Douluo, not even worth his attention.
If they really started fighting, it would just take one hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ability.
Just then, Emperor Xue Ye, who had been resting and was awakened, quickly dressed and, surrounded by the Heaven Dou Imperial Guard, rushed towards them.
It must be said that Emperor Xue Ye was quite brave. If Smilla and the other two truly intended to attack the Heaven Dou Royal Family, Emperor Xue Ye coming over at this moment would be completely offering himself up.
"Look, even Emperor Xue Ye has arrived. I believe exchanging the lives of you two for the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud should be more than enough, right?"
Panic saw that Emperor Xue Ye was present and knew that this matter should be settled.
After all, what they wanted was not to cede territory from the Heaven Dou Empire, but merely the treasure, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
In the eyes of Emperor Xue Ye and Lightning Douluo, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was just a high-level spirit tool, not worth sacrificing the lives of an emperor and a Titled Douluo for.
"This~"
Lightning Douluo fell into deep thought. It seemed he had no choice but to hand over the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud today, but how could he hand it over while preserving the Heaven Dou Royal Family's dignity?
After all, just handing it over like this seemed a bit undignified?
Panic saw Lightning Douluo lost in thought and didn't immediately act, knowing he was hesitating. So, he immediately turned to look at Emperor Xue Ye.
"Old man Xue Ye, hand over the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, or else your Snow Family's Titled Douluo won't see tomorrow's sun."
"."
As soon as Emperor Xue Ye arrived, he heard Panic's arrogant words.
"You have half a minute left to consider, otherwise we will take it ourselves."
"What force are you from, and why do you want my Heaven Dou Empire's Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?"
Emperor Xue Ye couldn't understand. The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud didn't seem that important, so why had it become such a sought-after item? It was actually worth three powerful Titled Douluo coming to forcibly demand it?
"You are not worthy to know~! Hand it over and we'll leave immediately!"
"This~"
Emperor Xue Ye was thinking the same thing as Lightning Douluo at this moment: how to hand over the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud without the Heaven Dou Royal Family losing too much face.
After all, if it was purely for the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, it wasn't worth confronting three powerful Titled Douluo.
Seeing that both were unmoved, Panic decided not to continue with words. It seemed they wouldn't shed tears until they saw the coffin; he needed to do something drastic.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Headshot Strike."
Raising his Spirit: Eye of Death, a precise, powerful bullet shot out, striking towards Lightning Douluo's chest.
Panic didn't aim for the head, otherwise, if something went wrong, Lightning Douluo might be finished.
The defensive capabilities of human Titled Douluo were not as strong as those of hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts; perhaps one Headshot Strike could take them out.
At this moment, Lightning Douluo had not activated his Martial Soul True Body, and his defensive power was far inferior to a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast. Of course, even if he activated his Martial Soul True Body, he still wouldn't compare, unless it were Gu Rong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, then it would be close.
Panic's Sixth Soul Skill, Headshot Strike, was very fast. Lightning Douluo only had time to set up a protective spirit power barrier on his body before the bullet hit him.
"Bang~!"
The powerful bullet broke through the protective spirit power, and blood bloomed, directly creating a bloody hole in Lightning Douluo's chest.
Fortunately, Panic had restrained some of the bullet's power, otherwise, Lightning Douluo might have been taken out by a single bullet.
However, Lightning Douluo's injuries were not light now. If he didn't receive timely treatment from a healing-type Spirit Master, there was a possibility of him dying.
Of course, although Panic's strength could overwhelm Lightning Douluo, if they truly fought, relying on the Sixth Soul Skill wouldn't instantly kill a rank 93 Titled Douluo; a powerful hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ability would be more appropriate.
The reason he was severely injured was that Lightning Douluo hadn't reacted before falling into Panic's trap.
