Chapter 368: Taking Advantage of the Chaos?
When that familiar blue figure appeared along with the cold voice, the tense and oppressive atmosphere on the walls of Iron Wall Pass changed instantly!
"Hall Master!" A loud, excited voice rang out first. Yang Wudi, the usually cold and stubborn Clan Chief of the Breaking Clan, couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes as he stepped forward, saying, "You've finally returned!"
"Hahaha! Kid, you've returned at just the right time!" Dugu Bo laughed out loud, his emerald pupils flashing with satisfaction and realization. He spoke solemnly, "I was just wondering where such a fierce big guy came from to fight that crazy woman to the death. So it was your doing! But you just said... Tang Chen?"
At this point, his laughter ceased, and a look of doubt appeared on his face. "Could it be... the Old Ancestor of the Clear Sky Sect who has been missing for years and was even thought to have fallen, the former Clear Sky Douluo Tang Chen?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone on the city wall, especially Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, and Bone Douluo Gu Rong, who knew more about the continent's secrets, changed their expressions!
"Clear Sky Douluo Tang Chen?!" Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but step forward. His usually calm face was filled with disbelief, and his voice rose slightly as he asked in confusion, "Could it be that legendary former Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, who was on par with Qian Daoliu and was even said to be stronger—the invincible one on land? Wasn't he confirmed to have fallen decades ago? Could it be... that he is still alive? And... has become like this?"
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi's gaze was fixed on the blood-red figure in the distance, exuding monstrous Killing Intent. He really couldn't associate this person with the legendary Clear Sky Douluo Tang Chen, who stood tall and heroic in his memory.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong also looked at each other, their eyes full of shock and incomprehension. The name Tang Chen was like a legend to top experts of their generation. If that Evil Soul Master was truly Tang Chen, what exactly had he experienced over these decades?
Facing everyone's urgent questions and shocked gazes, Tang Chuan just waved his hand gently and said, "I will explain the full story to you later. Now is not the time to discuss this."
Immediately after, his gaze beneath the mask swept over the soldiers gathered on the city wall, then glanced at the battlefield in the distance, which seemed to have reached a white-hot stage. His tone turned cold as he ordered, "Pass the order: the army is to set out. Target—the Spirit Empire base camp."
There was no impassioned pre-battle mobilization, no complex tactical arrangement, only the simplest and most direct order, yet it contained absolute confidence and control.
"Understood!" "Yes, Hall Master!" "This general obeys!"
On the city wall, led by Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, Marshal Ge Long, and others bowed or cupped their hands in obedience without any hesitation!
"Boom, boom, boom—!!!" The rapid and deep sound of war drums rang out across the walls of Iron Wall Pass, breaking the silence of the night and igniting the long-dormant Battle Intent!
"All troops, listen up! Set out! Target, the Spirit Empire camp!" Marshal Ge Long's loud voice spread through the spirit tool amplifier inside and outside the pass.
The Heaven Dou Empire soldiers, who had been holding back their energy and were shocked by the great battle in the distance, heard the order to attack. Especially upon learning that the mysterious and powerful Spirit Hall Hall Master would personally lead the attack on the Spirit Empire, their morale soared!
The next second, the pass gates swung open with a boom!
Elite cavalry surged out first, armor clanking, hooves thundering! Following them were the neatly marching, murderous heavy infantry phalanxes. Soul Master teams were mixed among them or followed on the flanks. The light of various Soul Rings flickered like stars in the night, resembling a moving galaxy.
Immediately, a massive army that had been resting for a long time, now with morale high as a rainbow, led by Tang Chuan, marched toward the battlefield where gods and demons were fighting to the death, a battle that would determine the fate of the continent!
Meanwhile, above the Spirit Empire camp. The earth-shattering fight to the death had been going on for quite some time.
Initially, relying on the weirdness of the Rakshasa Divine Power, Bibi Dong was able to compete with the Slaughter King holding the Asura Demon Sword. However, as time went on, the terror of the Asura Demon Sword gradually revealed itself.
This Divine Artifact, which originated from the Asura God and represented the purest rules of slaughter and judgment in the world, seemed to have truly awakened in the hands of the Slaughter King.
It was no longer just a sharp blade, but more like a living killing machine!
Every time the sword moved, it stirred the most primitive Killing Intent in the world. Wherever the sword pointed, it wasn't just a physical cut, but a severance of the Soul and even the concept of life itself!
Bibi Dong's Rakshasa Divine Power was indeed evil and powerful, but she had not yet inherited the God Position.
The slaughter rules contained in the Asura Demon Sword seemed to naturally have a strong suppression and corrosiveness toward all evil-attribute divine forces, especially forming a hidden absolute restraint against Bibi Dong's negative and resentful divine force!
"Clang—!!!" Another hard collision! The spider spear of the Soul Eating Spider Emperor clashed with the dark red Sword Qi again.
This time, the purple-black spider spear was visibly dimmed for a moment, having been eroded and dissolved by the dark red Sword Qi! Conversely, although the dark red Sword Qi on the Asura Demon Sword was also depleted, its core—the pure will of slaughter—seemed to have become even more condensed!
"Ah—" In the next second, Bibi Dong groaned, her body trembling slightly as she drifted back tens of meters. Purple-black divine force threads leaked from the web between her thumb and forefinger on her right hand.
That was a sign of being invaded by the Asura Sword Qi, causing her divine force to become unstable.
At the same time, the Martial Soul True Body phantom behind her became increasingly blurred, and the evil light in those blood-red eyes seemed to have dimmed slightly.
"Little girl, the evil energy in your body is mixed and impure. You have enough resentment, but your Killing Intent is insufficient!" The Slaughter King's voice carried a faint mockery. The blood light on the Asura Demon Sword in his hand flickered continuously as he pressed on, "Under my Asura sword, you, a half-baked super Douluo, won't last long! Hand over the antidote obediently, and I might consider giving you a quick death!"
"Dream on!" Hearing this, the purple-black vortex in Bibi Dong's blood-red eyes spun crazily. She forcefully suppressed the churning Qi and blood and the chaotic divine force in her body, driving the Rakshasa Divine Power once more. More surging evil power erupted, turning into countless purple-black thorn chains.
They coiled toward the Slaughter King like poisonous snakes, attempting to restrict his movements.
However, the Slaughter King merely drew a light circle around himself with the Asura Demon Sword!
"Shhh—!" A dark red sword ring rippled out. The moment the purple-black thorn chains, which contained corrosive and Binding power, touched the sword ring, they shattered and melted like ice meeting the blazing sun, unable to get close to him at all!
"Stubborn!" With a cold shout, blood light exploded in the Slaughter King's eyes. His figure accelerated suddenly, turning into an almost untraceable dark red afterimage. He instantly broke through the layers of evil barriers set by Bibi Dong. The Demon Sword, with a sharpness that could cut through everything, slashed directly at Bibi Dong's chest!
Seeing this, Bibi Dong's expression changed, and she hurriedly waved the scepter in her hand to block.
"Clang—!" Amidst the harsh sound of metal clashing, although the scepter barely blocked the straight thrust of the Demon Sword, the terrifying slaughter Sword Qi had already penetrated!
The purple-black gem flickered violently, and fine, spiderweb-like cracks actually appeared on its surface!
Bibi Dong herself was hit hard, spitting out a small mouthful of purple-black blood. Her aura instantly withered, and she had fallen into a disadvantageous position!
And what made the Spirit Empire side even more desperate was that apart from Bibi Dong, the other Titled Douluo—Snake Lance Douluo, Porcupinefish Douluo, as well as White Dragon of the Wind and Tuoba Xi, who had barely recovered some strength—could not provide effective support at all!
The Slaughter Domain that shrouded the battlefield was like an invisible cage, suppressing them tightly. Within this Domain, these Titled Douluo could not use their Soul skills at all.
The balance of the battlefield was tilting irrevocably toward the Slaughter King's side.
Bibi Dong's defeat seemed to be only a matter of time. Once Bibi Dong fell, the remaining Titled Douluo suppressed by the Domain, as well as the chaotic Imperial Army below, would likely face the fate of being bloodily purged in front of the furious Slaughter King.
However, neither the increasingly exhausted Bibi Dong, the pressing Slaughter King, nor the anxious experts of the Spirit Empire noticed at this moment—or rather, they were too busy to notice—that on the distant horizon, a silent and murderous army was quietly surrounding them like a tide moving in the dark night.
Suddenly, a Spirit Empire scout Soul Master, covered in blood with tattered armor, stumbled through the chaotic energy aftermath and flew to Hu Liena's vicinity, shouting hoarsely:
"Holy Maiden! It... it's bad! East of the camp, the east side! A large number of Heaven Dou Empire troops have suddenly appeared! They... they have launched an attack while we were in chaos! The vanguard has already broken through the outer defense line, is burning food supplies, and is attacking our reserve camp! The east side... it can't hold much longer!"
"What?!" Hearing this, Hu Liena's face turned pale as paper, as if she had been doused with a bucket of ice water from head to toe. Her teacher was fighting a deadly battle with a strong enemy and couldn't even protect herself, and now the rear camp was being taken advantage of by the Heaven Dou Empire? This was simply worse, a desperate situation within a desperate situation!
Although this report was not loud, everyone present was a top expert and naturally heard it clearly.
Bibi Dong, who was fighting the Slaughter King, was also shocked by the news. A moment of distraction nearly caused her to be grazed on the shoulder by a tricky dark red Sword Qi. Fortunately, she dodged it narrowly, and her aura became chaotic again. A hint of cold anger flashed in her blood-red eyes.
"What? These bastards of the Heaven Dou Empire actually dare to take advantage of the chaos!"
"Wait until I force this monster back, I will definitely grind them into dust!"
"Liena!" Bibi Dong gathered her strength and spoke, her voice coming through the sound of intense energy collisions, carrying an unquestionable command: "You immediately take Snake Lance Douluo, Porcupinefish Douluo, White Dragon of the Wind, and Tuoba Xi to intercept at the east side! You must repel the Heaven Dou enemy troops and stabilize the rear of the camp!"
"But teacher!" Hu Liena looked anxiously at the increasingly struggling purple figure in the air, her eyes full of worry, saying, "If we leave, what will you do? This monster..."
"Go quickly!" Bibi Dong interrupted sharply, her tone carrying a rare urgency.
"These Titled Douluo staying here, suppressed by the Domain, can't help at all! It's just increasing casualties! If the east camp is lost, food and military supplies will be destroyed, and the army will collapse instantly. That will be the real dead end! Here... I can still hold on! Execute the order!"
Hu Liena trembled. She understood that what her teacher said was the truth.
Snake Lance Douluo, Porcupinefish Douluo, and the others had strength, but under the Slaughter Domain, they were like tigers with their teeth pulled, and their effect was indeed limited.
However, once the east side of the camp was breached by the Heaven Dou Army, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Between two evils, choose the lesser...
"Teacher... please be careful!"
Hu Liena gritted her teeth and whispered, no longer hesitating.
She knew that every second was crucial, so she turned sharply to look at the few Titled Douluo who had also heard the order and whose expressions were changing uncertainly.
"Senior Snake Lance, Senior Porcupinefish, Sect Master Feng, Sect Master Tuoba! Follow me! Target, east side of the camp, repel the Heaven Dou Army!"
As she finished speaking, her Slaughter God Domain was also fully expanded, barely supporting a relatively stable area for the few of them.
Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo looked at each other, both seeing the unwillingness and helplessness in each other's eyes, but they also knew that Bibi Dong's order was the most rational choice.
White Dragon of the Wind and Tuoba Xi had long been scared out of their wits by the Slaughter King and wished they were far away from this monster. Hearing the order now, they felt as if they had been granted amnesty and nodded repeatedly.
"Understood!" "Holy Maiden, let's go!"
The four immediately collected their thoughts, followed behind Hu Liena, and erupted with their fastest speed. Like several streams of light, they forcibly broke through the chaotic energy turbulence on the periphery and the edge suppression of the Slaughter Domain, speeding toward the east side of the camp where the fire was soaring and the sounds of killing were faintly audible!
They had to arrive as soon as possible to stop the Heaven Dou Army's surprise attack and protect the last Foundation of the camp!
Otherwise, even if Bibi Dong luckily defeated or forced back the Slaughter King, the Spirit Empire army would completely fail due to the collapse of logistics.
Not far away, under the cover of night, a mixed assault force selected by Marshal Ge Long himself, consisting of the elite of the elites, was quietly creeping toward the outskirts of the Spirit Empire's east camp.
This assault team was not large, only about three thousand people, but every one of them was a fierce soldier.
It included five hundred agility-attack system Soul Masters best at concealment and surprise attacks, one thousand heavily armored cavalry well-equipped and good at group charges, and one thousand five hundred infantry and long-range Soul Masters with good coordination and decent Soul Power.
"General, look! Their patrols are sparse, and the guards on the camp walls are all looking at the movement to the west!" A scout Soul Master reported in a low voice.
The Li-surnamed general leading the army had a flash of cold light in his eyes and made a decisive decision:
"Plan changed! Not just harassment! Take them by surprise, pierce through the east camp for me, strike straight into their hinterland, burn their food, and destroy their armory! Move fast, make a big commotion!"
"Kill—!!!"
There was no long horn, only a low roar suppressed to the limit as a signal!
In an instant, the Heaven Dou elites lurking in the darkness suddenly rose like tigers unleashed!
The five hundred agility-attack system Soul Masters turned into blurry afterimages and struck first!
They vaulted over the low camp walls like ghosts, the light of Spirit Abilities flashing and disappearing in the dark night, bringing up splashes of blood.
The warning posts on the periphery of the east camp were cleared in just over ten breaths!
