953. Heavenly Tomb
Gu Yuan's arrangements were impeccable, so the battle quickly became one-sided before rapidly shifting into a cleanup operation.
After all, calling it an arrangement was something of an exaggeration. Aside from a few Soul Clan Dou Saints who had been eliminated by the Gu Clan, Thunder Clan, Flame Clan, Stone Clan, and the others during the first wave of invasion, all the remaining Dou Saints had died beneath Lu Yuan's Years Blade. This left the Soul Clan with none of its known Dou Saints, only a group of Dou Zuns. They had no chance of continuing to contend against the Gu Clan, Thunder Clan, Flame Clan, and other Dou Saints once those forces had recovered. The Gu Clan's side could simply steamroll them.
Tactics?
Unnecessary!
Skill?
Unnecessary!
If a Dou Saint could not even defeat a Dou Zun and had to rely on tactics and skill to win, then that Dou Saint might as well stop calling himself a Dou Saint. Even if he could bear that humiliation, the other Dou Saints could not bear the disgrace.
Besides, the Gu Clan's lineup was exceptionally luxurious.
Gu Yuan, a Nine Star Dou Sheng.
Gu Lie, an Eight Star Dou Sheng.
Lei Ying, an Eight Star Dou Sheng.
Yan Jin, an Eight Star Dou Sheng.
This lineup would certainly have been insufficient against the seven Eight Star Dou Shengs led by Nihility Devouring Flame, but Nihility Devouring Flame and the other Dou Saints were all dead!
As for Hun Tiandi and the Four Demonic Saints of the Soul Clan, whom Nihility Devouring Flame had claimed were on their way to reinforce them, how should those enemies who had yet to arrive be handled...
Did the Soul Clan still dare to bare its fangs after losing so many Dou Saints?
