Heaven Dou Soul Master Legion? Divine Skill Unleashed, All Perish!

One minute?

Su Su's pupils contracted. Wasn't that far too fast?

What was he thinking?

In an instant, the way she looked at Chen Changfeng changed. There was shock, surprise, but more than anything, disbelief.

What could be done in one minute?

Did he even know how many soul masters were responsible for the Heaven Dou delegation's safety this time? Not to mention a single Soul Sage—even a Soul Douluo or a Titled Douluo would not dare make such a boast. Even a Titled Douluo needed time to charge up a powerful soul skill at full strength. If the goal were simply to kill, perhaps a Titled Douluo could use a powerful soul skill to severely wound the entire soul master legion within a minute.

But this was not about killing.

Pope Bibi Dong's assigned mission was interception.

Just then, several of the branch hall master's trusted aides quietly approached. Clearly, they were wary of Chen Changfeng, who had just appeared.

"Hall Master, who is this?" someone could not help asking.

"Everyone, don't be nervous."

Su Su hurriedly explained, "This is an esteemed guest sent by the main hall to assist us with this operation."

Upon hearing that, the others finally lowered their guard and began sizing Chen Changfeng up.

Their eyes were filled with respect and envy. Any soul master who could enter the main hall in Spirit City was an exceptionally gifted talent.

It was a sacred hall of honor that countless soul masters from branch halls dreamed of reaching.

However, Chen Changfeng's purple robes were especially conspicuous atop the mountain and made it easy for him to expose his position.

In the end, someone took out a standard set of black nightwear from a Soul Tool and handed it to Chen Changfeng. He did not refuse. Only Su Su and these trusted aides had seen him, and he did not want too many people remembering what he looked like.

After briefly learning about the situation, everyone resumed their quiet vigil, waiting for their prey to appear.

After waiting quietly for nearly two hours, a hundred Heaven Dou Empire royal guards appeared at the far end of the forest. Riding tall horses and clad in shining silver armor, they looked incomparably imposing. That should have been the five hundred members of the Royal Cavalry Regiment, all of whom had been replaced by soul masters. Strictly speaking, they should be considered a soul master legion.

Two hundred cavalrymen rode at the front to clear the way, while three luxurious, massive carriages traveled side by side in the middle.

Another three hundred cavalrymen brought up the rear.

The moment Chen Changfeng saw those knights wearing imperial armor again, his heart turned cold.

Even the surrounding air seemed to be affected without anyone noticing.

Su Su and the others tugged their collars tighter in confusion. Why had the weather suddenly become so cold?

The Heaven Dou Empire itself represented the noble class. In this empire, everything depended on status and rank. Even if you were useless, as long as you were born into the royal family, you could enter the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. The state of the Heaven Dou Empire was, in truth, one of aristocratic rule, with great sects standing independently and small forces banding together for warmth. With resources inferior to those of the nobility, it was incredibly difficult for commoners and grassroots people to rise in the world.

Moreover, noble titles were hereditary. As long as you were a noble, your descendants would remain nobles generation after generation.

Commoners, on the other hand, could only gain the attention of nobles if a soul master capable of rising to prominence emerged among them, or they could join Spirit Hall. Otherwise, if you were a commoner, your descendants could only remain commoners for generations.

Spirit Hall was entirely different. Spirit Hall had no scions of aristocratic families, undoubtedly breaking the old empire's system. Not a single one of Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo came from a noble family or one of the Seven Great Sects; all of them had grassroots origins. The same was true of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation. None came from distinguished clans.

There was a reason why, after Spirit Hall later established the Spirit Hall Empire, it received such widespread support at a single call.

There were simply too many people like Chen Changfeng, and too many people who had been treated like livestock and toyed with by the powerful.

This world was sick.

It needed destruction and rebirth.

That was Chen Changfeng's truest thought. If he had not once harbored the urge to destroy the world, he would never have awakened the Destruction System.

"My lord, Hall Master, should we make our move?" one trusted aide could not help reminding them.

"Not yet. Wait a little longer!"

Su Su was exceptionally tense as well, but she still tried her best to calm herself. "Wait until they come a little closer."

They watched as the Heaven Dou Royal Army entered the mountain pass.

Only once they were directly beneath them did Su Su whisper, "Move!"

The next second, a long whistle tore through the sky. Immediately afterward, the Spirit Hall soul masters lying in wait on both sides of the mountain pass rose one after another. Countless rocks rolled down from the mountaintop like rain, smashing rapidly toward the Heaven Dou Royal Army.

"Everyone, defend! It's an ambush!"

The captain leading the Royal Cavalry Regiment shouted, "Everyone, protect the carriages!"

Sure enough, it was exactly as they had guessed.

These royal army guards were not true soldiers. Instead, they were all soul masters mixed into the ranks.

Soul rings rose beneath their feet in an instant.

Dazzling soul skills erupted, and the falling rocks came crashing down. The five hundred soul masters formed a steel defense line. In such unfavorable terrain, they actually did not allow a single stone to pass through their formation in a short time.

Seeing that the falling rocks were completely ineffective, another long whistle rang out. Time was pressing, and they only had ten minutes. The thousands of Spirit Hall soul masters on the hillsides quickly reacted, charging downward at astonishing speed.

Brilliant lights of every color began to appear around the soul masters. Martial souls were released, and soul rings flashed.

A chaotic battle was about to erupt.

However, something unexpected happened to Su Su. Just as she had believed they could easily crush their opponents, the Heaven Dou Royal Army dealt them a crushing blow.

Spirit Hall had assembled over a thousand soul masters this time, most of them Soul Ancestors or above, while the Heaven Dou Royal Army had only five hundred. Yet the instant the two sides clashed, this soul master legion displayed astonishing coordination. They formed groups of twenty or thirty, their attacks simple and forceful, even catching the Spirit Hall soul masters off guard with a counterattack.

"Concentrate our strength! Break through the enemy!"

Seeing the situation before her, Su Su atop the mountain panicked slightly and immediately issued the order.

The Spirit Hall soul masters became even more frenzied, concentrating their forces as they pressed toward the carriages.

But they had underestimated the resilience of the Heaven Dou Soul Master Legion.

Their advance could only be described as painfully slow.

Just then, a fire serpent shot into the sky from the direction of the luxurious carriages. It burst into a massive firework above the Star Dou Great Forest—the imperial emblem of the Heaven Dou Empire.

"This is bad! They've called for reinforcements!"

Su Su's face instantly turned deathly pale. She had not expected this mission to be so difficult.

If the mission failed, she would no longer be branch hall master. Spirit Hall had never tolerated useless people. "The soul masters and garrison troops in the town will soon arrive to support them. There's no time! Is the mission going to fail? Damn it!"

Unwilling!

She was unwilling to accept this!

Chen Changfeng, in contrast, showed no sign of panic.

Purple light flickered in his eyes. His gaze was fixed on a group of soul masters in the melee wielding the power of lightning.

I've finally found you.

Chen Changfeng sneered inwardly. So it truly was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan supporting the Heaven Dou Empire. Since they had come, they could all be buried here.

"I said it would take one minute."

The moment he unleashed his divine skill, Chen Changfeng turned to look at the hysterical Su Su beside him. "Watch carefully. Don't blink."
