Chapter 6: Wounding Evil Moon, Goddess Bibi Dong Demands Accountability!

The crescent-like sharp blade swept forward in an instant.

Xu Yan swung his golden cudgel, and as it descended, the staff’s body expanded.

The curved blade struck heavily against the staff, then shattered into pieces.

Evil Moon truly underestimated Xu Yan’s skill.

He continued to channel his soul power, spinning the moon blade outward.

Xu Yan didn’t hesitate much and charged forward to engage in close combat.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The clash of metal rang out, accompanied by sparks flying, as soul power surged.

Several onlookers were pushed back by the strong shockwave.

At first, Evil Moon thought handling Xu Yan would be easy, but the longer the fight went on, the more off it felt.

Xu Yan’s assault grew fiercer, his combat strength increasing.

In the end, Xu Yan swept him away with a single strike.

After being repelled, Evil Moon felt numbness in his hands.

He was shocked—why was Xu Yan’s strength so formidable?

“Although I’m loyal to Huliena, I have no fondness for the others,” Xu Yan said, dragging his golden cudgel along the ground.

He slowly approached Evil Moon and said, “Including you, the elder brother of Her Highness the Saintess.”

“Xu Yan, you dare! Do you know what this means?” Zhang Ping, nearby, rushed forward upon seeing Xu Yan seemingly about to attack Evil Moon.

Evil Moon’s eyes turned cold as he stared at Xu Yan. “This is the Martial Soul Hall. Aren’t you afraid of punishment for attacking your own people?”

“I’m not afraid because you’ve never considered me one of your own,” Xu Yan replied, resting the cudgel on his shoulder.

“Good. Do you think you can stand against us?” Evil Moon said.

They formed a battle formation, ready to kill Xu Yan.

Xu Yan had witnessed their teamwork before.

In truth, Evil Moon and Huliena together were incredibly lethal.

With Huliena gone, it was just Evil Moon, but he still wanted to fight.

Even if he was overconfident, he would not lose in spirit.

None of these men were soul saints.

“Step back. There’s no need to mobilize so many people to deal with such a lowly servant,” Evil Moon said bluntly.

Though he had seen Xu Yan’s skill earlier, he considered it mere cleverness.

Against absolute power, all cleverness was useless.

Evil Moon summoned his soul power, his soul ring glowing.

“Fourth soul skill: Strength!”

As Evil Moon’s assault surged forward, the moon blade flew like a throwing knife.

Xu Yan activated his Reincarnation Eye.

A Divine Net Heavenly Punishment unleashed a powerful repelling force.

All attacks were instantly deflected.

The spectators were astonished.

Yan was equally amazed—why had Xu Yan grown so strong?

Repelling all attacks, Xu Yan swiftly charged at Evil Moon.

Then he used All-Phenomena Attraction to pull him in.

Evil Moon felt strange suction; his body was completely immobilized.

Xu Yan’s golden cudgel slammed into him.

Bang!

Evil Moon was blasted away like a cannonball.

“Captain!”

Seeing Evil Moon struck down, everyone charged forward with soul power.

Xu Yan used the Reincarnation Eye again; the Divine Net Heavenly Punishment’s repulsion expanded.

All were blasted back.

At that moment, finally, Martial Soul Hall’s troops arrived, surrounding them.

“What’s going on?” a guard in armor asked.

“Take him down!” Yan shouted.

Evil Moon stood up, injured but not seriously.

Xu Yan didn’t resist now and retracted his cudgel.

At that moment, Duke Ju Moonlight appeared, speaking with a somewhat effeminate tone. “Xu Yan, with the Saintess absent, are you acting recklessly like this?”

Xu Yan replied, “Duke Ju, they wanted to kill me first. Am I not allowed to defend myself?”

Knowing Xu Yan was Huliena’s man—and that Huliena was favored by the Pope—Duke Ju refrained from attacking immediately.

“Take your grievances to His Holiness the Pope,” Duke Ju said, feeling killing Xu Yan would be easy, but Huliena had ordered him to watch over Xu Yan and not let anyone bully him.

Perhaps Xu Yan had talent and could become Martial Soul Hall’s future elite.

That was why, upon seeing the guards arrive, Xu Yan didn’t strike back.

He was then escorted into the Martial Soul Hall’s main hall.

Inside, Bibi Dong had not yet slept, seemingly sitting on her throne with eyes closed in meditation.

Xu Yan was brought forward, with Evil Moon, Yan, and several others present.

Xu Yan was very familiar with this hall.

Thanks to the goddess Huliena’s favor, he could sometimes come here.

He had even glimpsed Bibi Dong’s incomparable grace and mature charm.

“His Holiness the Pope, Xu Yan committed insubordination and wounded Evil Moon. Please make a ruling,” Duke Ju said.

Bibi Dong was silent for a moment before opening her eyes. Her mature face revealed no emotion.

She glanced at Evil Moon and the others and said coldly, “What is your strength? And what is his?”

“Disgraceful. All of you, leave at once.”

Bibi Dong scolded everyone.

“His Holiness the Pope, Xu Yan committed insubordination,” Yan quickly said.

Bibi Dong glared, and Yan immediately lost his temper.

“Everyone out. I want to speak with Xu Yan alone,” Bibi Dong waved her hand.

Finally, she looked at Duke Ju. “You leave as well.”

Duke Ju hurriedly nodded.

After everyone left, only Bibi Dong and Xu Yan remained in the vast, silent hall.

“Xu Yan,” Bibi Dong called.

Xu Yan bowed quickly. “Your Holiness the Pope!”

“Do you know what you’ve done?” Bibi Dong’s tone was cold.

“Where’s my crime?” Xu Yan defiantly replied.

Bibi Dong stomped her scepter, releasing a powerful wave of soul power.

The overwhelming pressure made Xu Yan stagger.

He knew Bibi Dong was a titled Douluo now—very formidable. If she wished, she could crush him with one hand.

Yet Xu Yan thought he must not die at her hands.

After all, he had just arrived on Douluo Continent and dreamed of someday standing at the peak of the soul master world.

He instantly unleashed dozens of golden soul rings.

Golden light swirled around him, illuminating the entire hall.

Bibi Dong was momentarily shocked.

Huliena had told her to nurture Xu Yan well during her seclusion, as he was a future talent.

However, the soul ring pattern seemed off.

Bibi Dong retracted her soul power, and Xu Yan relaxed considerably.

“Nana asked me to train you well. But judging from your skill earlier, something’s strange. That soul ring configuration might be fake,” Bibi Dong said.
