Qian Renxue shook her head, skipping over the topic, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. How is the task I recently assigned you?"
After speaking, she looked toward Porcupine Douluo...
The latter, hearing this, unreservedly revealed a cold smile, "Rest assured, Holy Daughter, it's already arranged. It shouldn't take long before some commotion is stirred up!"
"Although it won't directly strip Xue Xing of his control over the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, it will definitely leave him in a tight spot!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue felt something was off...
She couldn't help but remind him, "Porcupine, don't overdo it. Our goal is to make Xue Ye question Xue Xing's management of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"
She had a feeling that the other party might cause quite the stir!
Porcupine Douluo patted his chest confidently, "Holy Daughter, you are overthinking!"
The nearby Serpent Spear Douluo couldn't help but joke, "Holy Daughter, although this Porcupine guy is unreliable, he should still be able to handle such a small issue!"
It seems that this Porcupine guy's way of doing things has seriously eroded the Holy Daughter's trust!
Porcupine, upon hearing this, glared at him, "Hey, Serpent Spear, what do you mean by unreliable? Isn't it because the Holy Daughter trusts me that she assigned me this task?"
"Unlike some people who only know how to shirk and slick, if the Grand Elder finds out, they'll be in trouble!"
Serpent Spear Douluo immediately got anxious upon hearing this and quickly explained, "What? Shirking and slick? I've silently cleaned out quite a few bugs trying to spy on the Holy Daughter, what do you know!!"
Porcupine Douluo gave a cold smile and retorted, "Hah, you're a Titled Douluo after all, if you don't have at least this level of strength, how can you protect the Holy Daughter??"
Qian Renxue saw them start bickering and interjected soothingly, "Alright, alright, quiet down. Your contributions to helping me hide in the imperial palace have been significant!"
This statement was indeed true; since her arrival at the palace, both had contributed a lot!
...
When the purple beam struck the Rock Dragon's head, a faint "bang" sound was heard...
At first glance, it seemed to cause no damage, not even leaving a scratch!
This made Yue Zhengyu gasp, "Hiss... Is this guy's head that tough? This is a Level 6 Soul-guided Cannonball and it didn't cause any damage at all"
Yuanen Yehui spoke seriously, "No… look closely, its head is covered with very dense granite, which is the hardest part of its body!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Zhengyu closely observed and found indeed it was true!
The granite on the Rock Dragon's head displayed two different shades compared to its body!
Yuanen Yehui spoke again, "Yue Zhengyu, aim for this soul beast's"
As the saying goes, "hit a snake at its seven-inch spot," so the same could be true for a dragon!
Yue Zhengyu didn't hesitate, nodding, "Alright!"
Immediately he fired several beams at the Rock Dragon again, evenly striking every part of its body...
"Buzz~~"
It seemed to sense pain, and the Rock Dragon's scarlet eyes snapped open, and its originally coiled body rapidly unfurled...
Yue Zhengyu smacked his lips, "Not a reaction when hitting the head, but woke up instantly after hitting the body, this truly is a creature!"
Yuanen Yehui took a deep breath, "Since this soul beast is awake, let's attack directly!"
Though she couldn't be sure, she roughly understood where this Rock Dragon's weakness lies!
With that, she moved out from behind cover...
Almost at the instant they exposed their presence, they were locked by the Rock Dragon's gaze...
Its several-hundred-meter-long body looked down at Yue Zhengyu and Yuanen Yehui below, its scarlet eyes exuding intense killing intent...
At once, it swung its long tail, sweeping swiftly forward...
Yuanen Yehui shouted coldly, "Attack!"
As soon as the words fell, they both released their Martial Souls, with the silhouettes of the Holy Angel and the Fallen Angel emerging from behind...
Then they leapt from the ground, evading this strike...
Landing steadily, Yue Zhengyu whispered, "Second Soul Skill, Sacred Sword!"
The Holy Angel behind him formed a golden-glowing Sacred Sword in hand, which he grasped tightly before charging straight at the Rock Dragon...
Upon striking it, a crisp sound was produced...
However, the Rock Dragon merely shuddered, and the immense force sent Yue Zhengyu flying backward for over a dozen meters...
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yuanen Yehui's first soul ring lit up, "First Soul Skill, Fallen Heaven Curtain!"
A burst of dark-colored vortex began to emanate from her body, slowly spreading to everything around...
Yet the Rock Dragon, upon seeing this, showed no fear and directly charged toward it...
In an instant, the entire Fallen Heaven Curtain was forcibly torn open, resembling shattered glass, and dispersed in mere seconds...
This unexpected scene caused Yuanen Yehui's face to darken, "Damn… it actually shattered the Fallen Heaven Curtain!"
Is this the power of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast?
Yue Zhengyu nearby reminded, "Yuanen, this Rock Dragon doesn't just have strong defense, its combat awareness is also sharp! We can't underestimate it!"
Given how he was sent flying over a dozen meters from attacking the Rock Dragon just now, it's clear it wasn't that simple!
Yuanen Yehui replied coolly, "I don't need you to remind me of that, let's carry out separate attacks!"
Though surprising, it's undeniable that the Rock Dragon's movement speed is quite slow, meaning they still have a chance!!
...
Not far from Shrek Academy!
Stood several exquisitely dressed men, who were all envoys sent by Xingluo Land this time...
Yet at this moment, each of them had a look of bewilderment on their face...
One of the envoys gritted his teeth, "Do we really have to ask Shrek Academy for help? But doing so signifies that Xingluo Land is powerless against the Holy Spirit Cult! It'll be hard to hold our heads high in front of Soul Land in the future!"
Another envoy sighed, "Even if we become a laughingstock, it's better than allowing the Holy Spirit Cult to dominate Xingluo Land!"
"Hmph, if it weren't for Xingluo Land's severe lack of high-level combat power, how could such a small Holy Spirit Cult be so arrogant!"
"Without the assistance of Soul Land's various forces, our Xingluo Land simply doesn't have the ability to resist the evil Soul Masters!"
"Now that we are here, words are useless, let's humble ourselves and proceed"
Then they walked to the entrance of Shrek Academy...
Unsurprisingly, they were stopped by students responsible for guarding the gate...
"Who are you? What brings you to Shrek Academy?"
The leading envoy stroked his beard and explained softly, "We are envoys sent by the Xingluo Empire to negotiate with Shrek Academy, please announce our arrival to our young friend here!"
Now that they seek help, their attitude naturally can't be as before!
The student, seemingly understanding, said, "Envoys from Xingluo Land? I'll go report, please wait a moment!"
