Chapter 369: Two Demons Came to the Fishing Village?
The Heaven Dou Empire's main army poured out of Iron Wall Pass like a black tide, advancing toward the Spirit Empire's base camp, which was illuminated as if it were broad daylight. A long-suppressed, towering rage, mixed with the hatred for the nation and the vendetta of family, burned fiercely in the heart of every Heaven Dou soldier!
They had witnessed with their own eyes how the iron hooves of the Spirit Empire crushed their homes, how twenty-three cities had fallen, how many comrades had died miserably, and how many common people had been displaced!
Now, the opportunity had finally arrived. In their eyes, the earth-shattering commotion in the distance was not a disaster, but a horn of vengeance, proof that the Spirit Empire was suffering retribution!
"Brothers!"
The cavalry commander at the very front shouted, his voice hoarse yet full of strength.
"Do you see that? Those scum from Spirit Hall are suffering divine retribution! Now it's our turn! For our fallen comrades! For the fallen cities! For the Heaven Dou Empire, kill them all!!!"
"Kill—!!!"
"Blood for blood—!!!"
The roar, like a mountain collapsing and the sea surging, instantly drowned out the thundering of warhorses and the clashing of armor!
Every soldier's eyes were burning; there was no longer fear or confusion in them, only the purest killing intent and a thirst for revenge. They gripped their weapons tightly, and the Soul Masters frantically channeled their Soul Power, the light of their Soul Rings merging into a continuous, moving river of fire!
There were no complex formation changes, no cautious probing.
Led by Marshal Ge Long, the Heaven Dou Army transformed into the most primitive, most violent flood of vengeance, crashing fiercely from multiple directions into the chaotic interior of the Spirit Empire's camp!
The battle entered a brutal white-hot state from the very beginning!
"Boom—!!!"
The makeshift wooden camp walls of the Spirit Empire shattered like paper under the impact of the first wave of cavalry and the bombardment of Martial Soul abilities. Heaven Dou soldiers rushed in like a breached dam!
"Stop them! Form up! Quickly, form up!"
The middle and lower-level officers of the Spirit Empire guarding the camp shouted hoarsely, attempting to organize an effective defense line. However, lacking unified command from the top, and with some elite troops already transferred to the east to fight fires or intercept, the remaining troops were already terrified and demoralized.
And what they faced was the Heaven Dou Army of vengeance, morale skyrocketing, filled with hatred, like mad tigers!
"Avenge my brother!"
A Heaven Dou veteran roared, raising his spear and charging recklessly into a formation of Spirit Empire shield soldiers. Even though he was instantly pierced by several spears, he used his final strength to thrust his spear into the enemy's chest!
"Seventh Spirit Ability—Flame Wolf Roar!"
A Heaven Dou Soul Saint's eyes were blood-red. His Seventh Soul Ring lit up, and his Martial Soul True Body appeared, transforming into a burning giant wolf, frantically pouncing on the Soul Master team, trading injury for injury, life for life, just to kill a few more enemies before falling!
The infantry phalanx was like a moving meat grinder. The sounds of swords clashing, bones breaking, and the screams of the dying were incessant. Blood quickly stained the ground red, gathering into small streams.
Severed limbs flew everywhere, and the air was filled with a thick, nauseating smell of blood.
The confrontation between Soul Masters was even more brutal. Low and mid-level Soul Masters from both sides were mixed in the chaotic army, the light of Martial Soul abilities constantly flashing and exploding, often making it impossible to distinguish friend from foe.
Fireballs, ice spikes, wind blades, earth spikes... Martial Soul abilities of various attributes rampaged through the crowd. Every time a light flashed, it could take away several lives.
Heaven Dou Soul Masters often held the determination to perish together, desperately releasing their strongest Martial Soul abilities. Even if they exhausted their Soul Power, they wanted to drag the enemy down to Hell with them!
The cavalry was like a red-hot knife, galloping through the camp, repeatedly charging and trampling those Spirit Empire squads that attempted to regroup!
"For Heaven Dou! For Your Majesty! Kill—!"
Marshal Ge Long led the charge, wielding his battle sword, leading his personal guard like a heavy hammer, smashing fiercely into a stubborn Spirit Empire Soul Master stronghold.
Wherever the sword light passed, heads rolled!
The entire Spirit Empire base camp had now completely turned into a meat grinder.
Shouts of killing, explosions, wails, the crackling of flames... various sounds intertwined, playing a symphony of death and destruction.
The anger of the Heaven Dou soldiers turned into the most violent power of slaughter.
They used the enemy's blood to wash away their previous humiliation and hatred.
Every tent ignited, every supply destroyed, every Spirit Empire soldier fallen—all provided a release for the anger in their hearts.
"Boom—!!!"
Just as the Heaven Dou Empire's flood of vengeance was unstoppable and about to completely crush the crumbling last line of defense of the Spirit Empire's base camp, four figures exuding terrifying Soul Power fluctuations descended fiercely at the very front of the battlefield like four meteors tearing through the night sky!
It was Snake Lance Douluo, Porcupinefish Douluo, Sacred Dragon Sect Master Tuoba Xi, and Wind Sword Sect Master White Dragon of the Wind, led by Hu Liena.
"Bastards!"
Seeing the imperial army being slaughtered like this, Snake Lance Douluo's eyes instantly split with rage, his anger burning.
"Quick, stop them!"
Looking at the scene before her, Hu Liena also hurriedly let out a sharp shout, fully unleashing her Slaughter God Domain. The cold killing intent swept across the battlefield like a cold wave.
Although the range was limited, it caused the nearby Heaven Dou soldiers to pause, their hearts filled with chill.
The next moment, the four Titled Douluos behind her also held nothing back. The nine Soul Rings at their feet lit up simultaneously, and terrifying Soul Power erupted like a volcano!
"Fifth Spirit Skill—Thunder Roar Burst Kill!"
Snake Lance Douluo's black Fifth Soul Ring lit up. The Snake Lance in his hand transformed into a giant python shadow that reached the sky. The giant python opened its mouth, spitting out countless poisonous lance light shadows that were as thin as ox hair but as fast as lightning, then, like a torrential downpour, they covered the Heaven Dou Army formation hundreds of meters ahead!
Immediately, wherever the poison lances passed, whether it was thick shields or Soul Power shields, they were easily pierced. Those hit immediately foamed at the mouth and fell down screaming. The toxicity was fierce, and to touch it was to die!
"Eighth Spirit Ability—Poison Explosion Heavenly River!"
Porcupinefish Douluo's body swelled up again. Then, his giant mouth opened, but instead of devouring, he spat out a thick, purple-red torrent mixed with his own poison and Soul Power!
This torrent was like a living river of poison. Wherever it passed, the ground was corroded, emitting sizzling white smoke. The Heaven Dou soldiers and Soul Masters who came into contact with it saw their bodies rapidly fester and dissolve, turning into a puddle of pus and blood before they could even scream. The state of death was incomparably miserable!
"Eighth Spirit Ability—Dragon Flame Break!"
Tuoba Xi transformed into a Sacred Dragon. Although he had suffered a setback under the Slaughter God Domain earlier, facing ordinary troops, the strength of his Titled Douluo status was fully revealed!
The next second, he opened his dragon mouth wide, and a destructive beam of light more than five meters in diameter, condensed from searing white sacred flames, blasted out, plowing through the Heaven Dou Army formation!
Wherever the beam passed, people and horses were overturned.
Whether it was men or horses, armor or weapons, they were instantly vaporized and annihilated in the extreme heat, leaving only a scorched, smoking trail of death!
"Eighth Spirit Ability—Thousand Storm Wind wind Crack!"
White Dragon of the Wind merged with his sword, transforming into a giant cyan wind sword shadow, spinning rapidly in the air. Each spin brought up countless sharp cyan wind blades capable of cutting gold and jade, and then, like a huge death whirlwind, he rushed into the Heaven Dou Army formation!
Where the wind blades passed, flesh and blood flew, and severed limbs were scattered as if harvested by an invisible sickle. Sturdy armor was easily torn apart like paper in front of the wind blades. Even more terrifyingly, the trajectories of these wind blades were tricky and their speed was extremely fast, often attacking from unexpected angles, making them impossible to defend against!
The full-power eruption of the four Titled Douluos, and their large-scale, high-damage Martial Soul abilities, were undoubtedly a devastating blow to the Heaven Dou Army that was charging and in relatively dense formation!
In an instant, the vanguard of the Heaven Dou Army, which had been cutting through like bamboo, seemed to have hit an invisible wall constructed of death and destruction!
Soldiers fell in droves amidst the poison lances, poison streams, dragon breath, and wind blades, dying in various, yet equally miserable, ways. The shrill screams instantly drowned out the roars of the charge, and the momentum of the army was abruptly halted! The scorching dragon breath and sharp wind blades not only killed people but also left the ground in a mess, burning scorched pits and plowing deep trenches, severely hindering the advance of the follow-up troops.
The Heaven Dou Army's fearless charge, in the face of this absolute, terrifying power belonging to Titled Douluos, showed its first obvious stagnation and chaos.
The fanatical revenge on the soldiers' faces was replaced by fear. The casualties in the front row were too heavy, and the follow-up troops had to slow down, looking for cover or attempting to reorganize their formations.
Just as the four Titled Douluos of the Spirit Empire erupted with full power, using slaughter-like methods to temporarily curb the momentum of the Heaven Dou Army's charge and create a bloody death zone.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Four sounds of breaking through the air rang out almost simultaneously.
Four figures with different appearances appeared like ghosts in the sky in front of the Heaven Dou Army, facing Hu Liena and the others from afar, while simultaneously pushing back the terrifying Titled Douluo pressure from the front, instantly stabilizing the somewhat chaotic morale of the army below.
It was Dugu Bo, Yang Wudi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong!
"Hmph, so it's you, this stinking poisonous fish that only knows how to spit out poisonous pus and suck up trash, causing trouble here. It just so happens that I have itchy hands today, so I'll use you, this stinking fish, as an appetizer to see if your poison is better, or if my Jade Phosphorus Nine Absolutes are more poisonous!"
Dugu Bo's emerald green pupils locked onto Porcupinefish Douluo, who was still spitting out poison streams and causing heavy casualties, and a trace of cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.
As soon as he finished speaking, a jade-green dragon shadow appeared behind him, and dark green poison mist began to spread, then pressed toward Porcupinefish Douluo's poison stream.
Yang Wudi shook his Soul Breaking Spear, looked up at Snake Lance Douluo, and without any extra nonsense, said only a simple sentence, yet it carried the unique pride and Battle Intent of the Breaking Clan.
"That one playing with the Snake Lance, leave him to me."
Sword Douluo Chen Xin was even more direct. He couldn't even be bothered to say polite things. His figure flashed, and he had already turned into a shocking sword light, instantly crossing a distance of hundreds of meters, appearing directly opposite Wind Sword Sect Master White Dragon of the Wind.
"I heard that you are very skilled with the sword?" Saying this, he paused slightly, his gaze sweeping toward the long sword with flowing cyan light in White Dragon of the Wind's hand.
"Then today, Chen will come to learn from you, your sword."
As the last word fell, the surrounding air seemed to solidify into invisible sword edges, causing White Dragon of the Wind to feel his skin sting and alarm bells ringing in his heart!
He knew that he had met the strongest sword Dao opponent of his life!
Finally, Bone Douluo Gu Rong's gloomy gaze fell on Tuoba Xi, who was transformed into a Sacred Dragon with extraordinary momentum. After looking up and down at the latter's glowing dragon body, the corners of his mouth curled into an arc that wasn't much of a smile, and he said:
"Tsk tsk, look, it seems like the only thing left now is this shiny golden stinking loach."
Immediately, he moved his neck slightly, making a cracking sound. Behind him, a huge, incomparably large Bone Dragon shadow, entirely composed of pale white bones with ghostly Soul fire burning in its eye sockets, slowly emerged, emitting a cold, dead, yet equally vast and boundless pressure.
The Bone Dragon shadow let out a silent roar at Tuoba Xi's Sacred Dragon Incarnation.
"But well, my Bone Dragon... doesn't really pick its food. A loach is a loach, I'll make do with chewing it, it can also provide some calcium."
These words of extreme insult and provocation, coupled with that ferocious and terrifying Bone Dragon shadow, immediately made Tuoba Xi so angry that smoke came out of his seven orifices, and his Sacred Dragon Incarnation trembled slightly with rage!
As the Sect Master of the Sacred Dragon Sect, when had he ever been so underestimated and insulted as a stinking loach?!
Four against four!
Dugu Bo against Porcupinefish Douluo, a contest of poison versus poison!
Yang Wudi against Snake Lance Douluo, a clash of spear versus lance!
Chen Xin against White Dragon of the Wind, a duel of sword versus sword!
Gu Rong against Tuoba Xi, Bone Dragon versus sacred dragon!
The next second, powerful auras instantly collided violently in the air, forming four distinct yet mutually influencing independent battle circles.
Seeing this, the ordinary soldiers below retreated involuntarily, clearing enough space for this top-tier duel that was about to erupt and would be enough to determine the direction of this battlefield.
...
Meanwhile, Sea God Island.
On a peaceful and tranquil morning, on the white sandy beach at the edge of Sea God Island, the blue waves gently caressed the shore.
Sea Horse Douluo Oya, who was responsible for patrolling the coast today, was treading on the damp gravel, routinely inspecting the safety of Sea God Island and the tranquility of the surrounding waters.
Suddenly, his gaze was attracted by a wobbling small black dot on the distant sea surface.
It was not a seabird, but a dilapidated, simple small fishing boat that seemed ready to fall apart at any moment. The sail was long gone, and only half of the oar remained, completely relying on the ocean current and the last bit of strength of the people on board to drift.
Seeing this, Oya frowned slightly, his figure flashed, and he had already turned into a deep blue water light, instantly crossing hundreds of meters of sea surface, appearing beside the small fishing boat.
He saw five fishermen lying in a jumble on the boat, all covered in blood, their clothes in tatters, their bodies covered in ferocious wounds, some deep to the bone, some with skin and flesh rolled back, as if they had been torn by some extremely rough and barbaric force.
They were on the verge of death, their eyes unfocused, as if they had experienced something unimaginable.
"What happened?!" Sea Horse Douluo's heart sank. He immediately channeled his gentle water-attribute Soul Power, transforming it into several streams of cool water, injecting them into the bodies of these fishermen, stabilizing their life force that was about to collapse, while asking in a deep voice.
This was the sea area protected by Sea God Island.
The nearby islanders lived in peace and contentment; when had they ever seen such a tragic sight?
Under the nourishment of Soul Power, one of the middle-aged fishermen, who was relatively lightly injured and still conscious, struggled to open his swollen eyes. Seeing the majestic and familiar Sea Horse Douluo before him, it was like seeing a savior, and muddy tears mixed with blood rolled down.
"My... Lord, help... save us... the village... the village is finished..."
"Speak clearly! Which village? What happened?" Oya's voice carried the power to soothe people's hearts, but his eyes had already become sharp.
"It... it's Coconut Grove Village a hundred miles to the west..." The fisherman's voice was full of despair and trembling, saying: "Yesterday... yesterday evening... two demons came!"
"One... one young man, he could make lots and lots of... black vines come out of his hands, hard and poisonous, once they wrapped around someone, they would suck them dry of Soul Power and snap their bones. The other... the other was even more terrifying, like a white giant tiger, its eyes were evil gold, and its roar made people's Souls feel like they were about to scatter... They... they killed everyone they saw! Regardless of old people or children..."
"They didn't just kill people... they also... they also drank human blood! I saw it with my own eyes... the one with the White Tiger Martial Soul, grabbed Old Wang the Fourth, and bit his neck off in one bite, gulping down the blood."
"The one who used vines, although he didn't drink it directly, but after he killed people, those vines would wrap around the corpses, and very quickly... they would turn into dried corpses!"
"The whole village... over two hundred people in the whole village... except for the few of us who hid in the mud under the boat during the chaos... I'm afraid... I'm afraid they are all..."
