Chapter 133 - Xiangxie's sword

At the Seven Treasure Clan's headquarters, a strange scene was created. It could be seen how thousands of Spirit Empire's soldiers, recognized by their uniforms were trying to run away. Fear could be seen at their faces as they ran without looking behind. Screams were heard all around as earth spikes that resembled blades shot from the ground impaling another victim. These spikes were the cause of a thousand deaths and increasing.

The sky, if it could be called that, had become a complete sea of fire, with scorching flames raging furiously. At it, only 6 people could be seen floating, being able to resist the flames. Five of them were facing a beautiful woman with long pink hair, all of them with shock and fear in their eyes facing the woman.

Two of them, a masked man wearing black robes and a beautiful slender feminine man that resembled more a woman, held their hand together, both of them had 9 spirit rings, showing that they were titled douluos. All their rings shined "<Spirit Fusion: Dark Eclipse>!" a golden and silver light fell over the pink-haired woman, encompassing her and trapping her in a spirit cage.

"Run!" Just as they made their spirit fusion, the five people turned away, they revolved their spirit energy showing all of them bright 9 rings, and tried to run away.

"Shing!" a sound of cutting air was heard and the golden and silver cage was destroyed, cut in multiples pieces and falling apart, freeing the pink-haired woman, now a red-brown greatsword at her hand.

The woman swung her sword in the air, all the flames in the air extinguished, and the heads of the masked and the feminine men, who were the ones nearest due to using their spirit fusion, fell from their necks. As the heads fell, the heads and their bodies silently became ashes.

"Tch!" the pink-haired woman clicked her tongue and glanced coldly at the three people who were disappearing at the distance "3 escaped". The woman then turned to one side "I doubt this is a single attack. Elder Bone, let's go" a wormhole appearing at her side and she stepped in.

Heaven Dou's Palace was a lot damaged due to the fight before, over the debris Chenxiang was holding Bai who was unconscious "Bai!" she cried worriedly. He was all bloody, cut and burn covered his body that and all the dirt made even difficult to recognize him.

Chenxiang took his pulse, confirming that he was alive. The strange thing was that even when he was unconscious his pulse was loud and fast, not the usual when one was unconscious. Chenxiang not knowing what to do, she brought him over Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dugu Bo. All three were exhausted and used this time to recuperate to the minimum state for being able to move.

"Cousin, you need to treat Bai. I don't know what happened to him" Chenxiang requested Tang San. Tang San took Bai's pulse and was surprised by it, they weren't the signs of someone who was tired after a fight. Tang San gave Bai some medical herbs and quickly bandaged him, at least for him to not bleed out.

"We need to go over the emperor. If more soldiers come, we would have a problem explaining them" Dugu Bo turned to the dead body of Yang Wudi and lamented "Even if he is dead, you should be able to treat him, little monster"

Tang San nodded and all five went towards the emperor's room unmolested, Chenxiang carrying Bai. Just before arriving at the emperor's room, they found two men standing over the door. Both men reacted at their presence activating their spirits. 6 spirit rings appeared to surround each of them, their bodies grew bigger, a scaled armor appearing over them "Stop! Nobody is permitted entrance"

Usually, two spirit Emperors wouldn't suppose any problem against them, especially a titled douluo like Dugu Bo, but they were all too exhausted after the fight, Dugu Bo even unable to use his spirit.

As they were prepared for an all-out fight, Tang San preparing his hidden weapons while Chenxiang and Xiao Wu's rings shined, a worm-hole appeared at one side of the hall.

From the worm-hole left an elegant pair followed by an old man wearing black robes. The pair was a handsome black-haired man wearing a white suit with a beautiful pink-haired woman wearing an elegant amethyst dress, they were Ning Fengzhi and Ning Xiangxie, followed by Gu Rong.

The air around Xiangxie twisted and without doing any move, spikes surged from the wall impaling both spirit emperor. Even when the spiked pierced through their stomachs, they showed great resilience, surviving to them. However, they couldn't survive over two wing blades that decapitated them, both heads flying over and strangely, not a single blood was splashed, all of it evaporating before even leaving their body.

Xiangxie crossed her arms "I expected something to happen, but I didn't think of anything of this size. Titled douluos might have fought" She then looked at the others, her gaze stopping at Bai, becoming worried one. She ran towards Bai taking him from Chenxiang's arms.

Xiangxie put her hand over his head. She closed her eyes her analyzing Bai. After some second she opened her eyes and sighed "So is time"

"What happened to him?" Chenxiang requested worried, her eyes showing how much concern and her affection to Bai.

Xiangxie looking at her, couldn't help to giggle a little and gave her a warmly smile "Don't worry. Bai is fine. You did a good first-aid. And for his unconsciousness, it didn't have anything to do with the fight. He is actually fighting in his mind" Xiangxie patted Bai's hair with fondness "The one who will awake would be his new self" she said in low voice.

"What are you referring?" Asked with doubt Chenxiang.

"It would better for him to explain when he wakes up" Xiangxie turned to Fengzhi who nodded.

"Let Xie take care of Bai" said Fengzhi "For what it seems, you need to treat his majesty. You also need to explain what had happened" Fengzhi opened the emperor's room doors.

Entering the emperor's quarters, the emperor laid on a king-sized bed. He was unconscious with an erratic breath.

Tang San and Dugu Bo quickly went to him and quickly started to analyze him, trying to finding the best treatment, now that they lost Yang Wudi who was the one most knowledgeable about the poison and even Bai was unable to use his Oreo.

Xiao Wu started to explain what had happened in the fight, while Chenxiang stood near Bai who Xiangxie held in her hands, white flames covering him and slowly healing his wounds.

After half an hour, Dugu Bo and Tang San finished. Tang San stepped forward "His majesty's condition is critical, it's too late for saving his life. The only that we can do, it treating the poison with another poison. But, he is too weak, at most he will survive 3 months"

Fengzhi rubbed his hand over his chin "We will need to make sure that Xue Beng inherit the throne without any power struggle. And that Star Luo Empire accept it. With his majesty awake it would be possible" he said thoughtfully before nodding "Give me the poison. I will be the one who treats him. If something goes wrong, it would be better if the responsibility falls under my shoulders"

Tang San looked at Fengzhi with appreciation. Tang San took a green bead from his pouch and gave it to Fenzhi.

As Fengzhi approached the emperor, Xiangxie reacted. She quickly pushed Bai to Chenxiang, who hurried tried to catch him, and charged toward Fengzhi. She invoked her Greatsword swinging it. Just as she swung, a golden projectile pierced the wall and crashed to her sword, golden flames scattering around.

Bone Douluo quickly reacted, worm-holes appearing around Xiangxie, protecting the people inside from the aftermath.

Xiangxie turned to Bone "Take care of them" She jumped following the spear that returned to a grey-robed man who was floating at the sky.

Xiangxie stopped 100 meters over the man. She stood floating and pointed her sword at the man "Qian Daoliu!" she said angrily.
