I've already become a Titled Douluo and now the System shows up?

This statement had everyone's gaze falling upon Dai Hao's face.

Dai Hao looked dumbfounded, "They're all dead?"

Qin Xiao said, "Yes, not a single one left."

"Bang~"

The table in front of Dai Hao was kicked over in an instant.

The team was led by two Soul Douluo, and the rest of the loved ones were comprised of Soul Saints and Soul Emperors.

In the military, they were all commander-level figures, considered his confidants.

But...

They were all dead.

The loss was truly too great.

"I felt I should still tell you of their demise, and I also felt I was the right person for the job, so here I am."

"You... you're really too arrogant."

Dai Hao was beside himself with rage.

Even now, his heart was still bleeding.

"Isn't it you who wants to deal with me?"

"To kill is to be prepared to be killed, a point I don't need to remind you of, right?"

In the army, perhaps everyone feared him.

But Qin Xiao was definitely not among them.

"You, don't be too arrogant, do you really think I won't kill you?"

"Haha, you're mistaken. I'm here for you to kill; I would look down upon you if you didn't. Then, I'll see who else from the White Tiger Clan can carry the load."

Qin Xiao's arrogance remained unchanged.

But...

Duke Bai Hu was no longer as crazed as before.

He had calmed down quite a bit.

Qin Xiao's words had deeply pricked his heart.

He had sent those people to the Sun-Moon Empire before with orders only to bring Qin Xiao back.

To tell the truth, there were far too many instances of fratricide among the Nobles for the sake of competing for the heir's position.

Not to mention, just ten thousand years before, within their White Tiger Clan, there was a rule that the emperor's throne could only be inherited by one person.

Other princes could only be stepping stones on the path to success.

And the fate of those who failed was only one: death.

So, whether he lost a son or wasted one, he didn't care.

As long as the one who survived was the strongest, it didn't matter.

Calm, remain calm.

He repeated to himself in his heart.

Indeed, if Qin Xiao had already become so outstanding, he really couldn't bear to kill Qin Xiao.

"I think, we can have a proper talk now, right?"

Qin Xiao asked indifferently.

"That's fine." Dai Hao nodded subconsciously.

"And these people?"

"You all, go down."

Dai Hao waved his hand.

"Sir, are you really going to face him alone?"

They were somewhat hesitant and even quite worried.

"It's fine, all of you go down. There are some things that two men, a father and son, have to say," he insisted.

Father and son?

After hearing this, Qin Xiao felt no stir within, even wanting to laugh.

This term truly sounded grating.

If he hadn't become so powerful, would Dai Hao have remembered Huo Yuhao his son?

Without a doubt, he wouldn't have.

Or to say, even if he did remember, he would not acknowledge him.

Because he had done far too many things to wrong Huo Yuhao.

"Thud thud thud."

The crowd left the tent with heavy steps.

However, in Qin Xiao's psychic awareness, he knew clearly that these people had not gone far.

They were waiting just outside the tent.

That's enough, I don't believe he can withstand a full barrage from me without anyone to protect him.

Qin Xiao completely let go of his worries.

"Come, pick up the table."

Dai Hao sat down in his throne authoritatively and pointed at the table he had just kicked over.

Heh, trying to PUA me?

Are you even worthy?

Qin Xiao was no fool, instantly seeing through Dai Hao's intentions.

Moreover, this was just the beginning.

He was certain that if he followed Dai Hao's lead, there would immediately be other tasks to do.

In short, Dai Hao wanted to carry the PUA to the end.

But unfortunately for him.

He had miscalculated.

"None of that is important. Actually, I brought you a gift."

Qin Xiao said with a smile, "Why don't you take a look at the gift I've prepared for you first?"

"A gift?"

Dai Hao was initially taken aback upon hearing this.

Then a benevolent smile like that of a kind father appeared on his face, "You are quite thoughtful."

His wariness toward Qin Xiao greatly diminished in his heart.

Even, he had begun to imagine the scene of Huo Yuhao calling him "dad"...

In his view, it was only a matter of time.

"Good, then watch carefully. This may bring you a huge surprise," he said.

As he spoke, he violently tore off the black cloak from his body, casually tossing it into mid-air.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.

Twenty or thirty soul cannons unfolded behind Qin Xiao like a peacock's tail, all aimed squarely at Dai Hao.

Dai Hao's pupils shrank. "This is... soul cannons!"

"Congratulations, you've got it right. Enjoy the gift I've brought you. Full force open!"

Qin Xiao instantly activated all the soul cannons.

Glows of various colors burst out almost simultaneously.

"Martial Soul Possession!"

"White Tiger Shield!"

"White Tiger Diamond Transformation!"

"Invincible Shield!"

"Absolute Defense!"

It had to be said that Dai Hao possessed some real strength.

In an instant, he had activated a multitude of defense skills and soul tools, facing the horrific attack.

However.

Qin Xiao was prepared and without even looking at the result of the attack, he immediately took out another dozen or so soul cannons that were ready.

He launched another attack at Dai Hao.

"Not good!"

At this moment, the guards outside the central tent finally detected the soul power fluctuations.

But.

By the time they attempted to assist Dai Hao, it was already too late.

Powerful soul power erupted from the central tent, they were utterly unable to resist and were directly blown away.

In the distance, people saw a mushroom cloud rising.

The explosion range extended for twenty li.

All things along the way, rocks, vegetation, and everything else turned to ash.

Many soldiers were not spared either.

"What happened!"

"Enemy attack!"

"My God, what level of powerhouse must it be to cause such a terrifying attack!"

The soldiers who escaped harm and were unaffected stared dumbfounded at everything occurring.

They could not imagine what had happened.

Could it have been a peerless powerhouse of level 98 or 99?

It was truly unimaginable.

"The location is at the central tent, don't just stand there, come with me to rescue the victims," someone called out.

A commander of Soul Douluo Level spread his flight soul tool, leading the charge toward the core of the explosion.

Behind him followed five or six experts of Soul Saint Level and Soul Emperor Level.

For ordinary people, a dozen li is a considerable distance.

But for these experts, it was nothing at all.

When they reached the core area of the explosion, they were all stunned.

Everything was gone!

Except for the Duke and a creature that barely resembled a human, there was nothing left.

Even the Soul Saint Level trusted aides around the Duke had vanished without a trace.

Without saying more, one knew they were dead.

At that moment,

The Duke was kneeling on one knee on the ground, his Battle Armor was damaged beyond recognition, and he had deep gashes oozing blood all over his body.

His left arm was even completely severed.

It was a pitiful sight.

More importantly, a soul cannon as thick as a bowl was pressed against the Duke's head.

The one holding the soul cannon was a humanoid monster.

His clothes too were torn to shreds.

But what was exposed was not flesh but metal with strange patterns glowing faintly on it.

Even his face only retained half a human visage.

His body was also emitting crackling electric arcs now and then.

What in the world was this monster?

The onlookers exchanged glances.

But not one had seen such a creature before.

"Cough, cough."

Dai Hao could not help coughing out two mouthfuls of fresh blood, spattering the ground.

On closer inspection, one could see that the blood contained fragments.

Those were pieces of shattered organs.

"Unexpected, truly unexpected."

"The person before us... turned out not to be human."

"The soul tools of the Sun-Moon Empire have become so formidable."

"Unpredictable."

Dai Hao's face was filled with a look of despair.

The humanoid soul tool's remaining half showing a smile.

So eerie.

"Your men also died at my hands. Now, I will send you on your way to meet them..."
