In the original novel, after Xue Beng succeeded to the throne, he invested heavily in establishing the Tang Sect. The Shrek Seven Devils returned from Sea God Island with greatly increased strength, and Xue Beng and Xue Xing became distant from Dugu Bo. It wasn't until the three battles of Jialing Pass, when Dugu Bo sneaked into Jialing Pass and released poison, turning the whole city green, that they realized just how terrifying Dugu Bo could be in war.
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo had arrived beside Xue Ye, channeling their Soul Power to him and regulating his breathing. The two were shocked to learn that Dugu Bo had single-handedly wiped out the Heaven Dou army's camp. Knowing about the Destruction of the Clear Sky Sect, they had some expectation of Dugu Bo's team battle capabilities.
But today, after learning that Dugu Bo could easily wipe out the Heaven Dou camp, which was equipped with Tang Sect Hidden Weapon, an army of 500,000, and various defenses, they finally had a direct understanding of how terrifying Dugu Bo's team battle ability was.
Xue Ye gasped for breath, his breathing gradually calming down. He opened his eyes again, but the confidence he had shown before was gone, replaced by despair. The army's rations would only last for three days, and the grain reserves in the Heaven Dou tent had been destroyed. Unless Yunling Pass was captured now, the Heaven Dou army would have no choice but to retreat immediately.
However, this does not mean that the army will retreat immediately and the destruction caused by Dugu Bo will end. The grain in the Heaven Dou tent was collected from all over the country by the Heaven Dou Empire. The soldiers of the Heaven Dou army were also young and strong laborers drawn from all over the country, totaling a huge number of 2.5 million.
Unless all the soldiers of the army are evenly distributed throughout the country at this moment, returning to where they came from, what will happen when the army runs out of three days' worth of rations and the nearest cities' food supplies are insufficient to meet the needs of the city's inhabitants and the combined food consumption of the 2.5 million soldiers? Xue Ye dared not even imagine it.
Even if all the warhorses were slaughtered for meat, it wouldn't last long. Moreover, without the warhorses, the strength of the Heaven Dou army would be greatly weakened.
The Spirit Hall's move to undermine the Heaven Dou Empire has truly dealt a devastating blow; it's unknown how many years it will take for the empire to recover.
On the city wall of Yunling Pass.
Golden Crocodile Douluo and hundreds of Soul Masters from the Speed Clan suddenly appeared.
Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at the Bai Yuan, the patriarch of the Speed Clan, and asked, "Is everything ready?"
"Second Worship, you are ready."
Hundreds of the Speed Clan disciples each held a cylindrical metal object in their hands. These cylindrical metal objects were Small Soul Guidance Cannon that Qian Renxue and Bibi Zhu brought back from their training trip to the Sun Moon Continent.
If classified according to the knowledge of Soul Tool in the Peerless Tang Sect, this Small Soul Guidance Cannon -guided cannon can only be considered Level 3 Soul Tool, not much different from the Tang Sect Hidden Weapon, the Godly Zhuge Crossbow.
This small Soul Guidance Cannon can be considered the most advanced Soul Tool currently developed on the Sun Moon Continent.
The timeline between the Peerless Tang Sect era Douluo I era of Dou Di Zhuan is a full ten thousand years. Naturally, the Soul Tool the Sun Moon Continent has developed now are far inferior to those that will be available ten thousand years from now.
Moreover, the Sun Moon Continent collided with the world eight thousand years later. After fighting against the Douluo Three Kingdoms, it was ultimately defeated by the Shrek Academy. Only then did it strive to improve itself and invest a lot of manpower and resources in the research of Soul Tool, which led to continuous breakthroughs in the technology of Soul Tool.
"Move out and annihilate all the generals of the Heaven Dou Army, except for Xue Ye!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo waved his hand. In the past half hour, the Spirit Hall had not been idle. Instead, they had found all the high-ranking generals of the Heaven Dou Army who were over a hundred commanders.
With the powerful mental strength of Titled Douluo, finding these high-ranking generals is indeed not difficult; just look at their attire.
Once all the high-ranking generals of the Heaven Dou Army above the hundred commander level are dealt with, the Heaven Dou Army will be no different from headless flies. And these 2.5 million headless flies are all armed, and some of them even have Tang Sect Hidden Weapon that can deal with Soul King level Soul Master.
What would happen if these soldiers, without any supervision and lacking food and water, all fled back to the Heaven Dou Empire? The Heavenly Heaven Dou Empire would likely become a small Slaughter City, its social environment would suffer enormous damage, and the living standards and living conditions of its people would plummet to an all-time low.
The person who devised all of this—the drastic measure to undermine the Heaven Dou camp and the decapitation strike against the Heaven Dou army—was naturally Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu felt no remorse whatsoever for the Heaven Dou Empire turning into a mini- Slaughter City. After all, the Heaven Dou Empire had been too eager to live and sent a million-strong army to Destruction the Spirit Hall.
He only carried out a decapitation strike against the Heaven Dou Empire, which was already considered to avoid causing too much bloodshed. Otherwise, if he had sent Dugu Bo and the Porcupinefish Douluo, the Spirit Hall could have easily wiped out their more than two million troops.
At this moment, three beams of light—yellow, purple, and black—flashed beneath the feet of the hundred Speed Clan Soul Master, their Sharp-Tailed Swift Martial Soul Possession. Then, their third or fourth Soul Ring lit up, and a pair of wings appeared on their backs.
The Sharp-Tailed Swift Martial Soul, despite its name, cannot fly freely and requires the power of its Soul Ring.
These Speed Clan Soul Master, despite having some at the Soul Ancestor Soul Master, are still quite fast. For the Speed Clan Soul Ancestor Soul Master, who specializes in speed, their speed is comparable to that of a Soul Emperor Soul Master unleashing their full power, and they also possess Soul Skill that allow them to fly.
With speed comparable to Soul Emperor, coupled with flight Soul Skill and remote Soul Tool, roaming the army is no problem before exhausting Soul Power.
"Swish swish swish!"
On the walls of Yunling Pass, hundreds of beams of light shot out simultaneously, all heading towards the Heaven Dou Army. Each beam was extremely fast, and even the slowest one was difficult for ordinary people to catch.
A flash of light, the Level 3 Soul Guidance Cannon fired, and an explosion rang out in the Heaven Dou Empire's army. A centurion with a palm-sized bloody hole in his chest fell to the ground.
Soul Master of the Speed Clan at the Soul Ancestor and Soul King levels attacked the centurions of the Heaven Dou Empire's army, while Soul Master of the Speed Clan at the Soul Emperor and Soul Saint levels attacked the high-ranking generals of the Heaven Dou army.
The selection of high-ranking generals in the Heaven Dou Empire primarily focuses on their combat skills, with little regard for their Soul Power level. Therefore, the vast majority of high-ranking generals in the Heaven Dou Empire either lack Soul Power or possess only average Soul Master Soul Power. Only a small minority, such as Marshal Ge Long, the most elite commanders, require attention to Soul Power; these individuals must be Soul Saint or Soul Douluo.
After all, there is a profession in this world called assassin. The top commanders of the Heaven Dou Army, if they were ordinary people without Soul Power, would easily lose their lives if they were attacked by Soul Master assassins. The emperor of the empire would probably be furious at that time.
