Battle Erupts on All Sides
"This is the first time I've seen you so disheveled, Hannibal!"
A sharp sound, like fingernails scraping across a blackboard, startled Dugu Bo, Yue Guan, and the others who were on high alert. 🎅💘 ✌🐚
Chen Xin immediately turned his gaze to the northwest sky.
"Snort--!"
Hannibal's face was as cold as ice. Although he knew that the Law Enforcement Team had come as agreed, given that he had emitted an over-frequency sonic signal using his Martial Soul talent, the person who came was the last thing he wanted to see.
"Damo, enough nonsense!" Hannibal's gaze swept over Yue Guan, Gui Mei, Dugu Bo, finally landing on Chen Xin's cold face. "This fish is a bit big; one wrong move and it'll capsize."
"Oh?"
The word "oh" sounded as distant as before when it first rang out, but the moment it fell, it was already in the room.
The pupils of Yue Guan and Gui Mei suddenly contracted, and they looked at the figure that had suddenly appeared next to Hannibal with a look of shock.
He was covered in heavy black and red armor, with a pale face that made him look to be in his forties or fifties. His hooked nose and emerald green eyes were quite striking.
"Is this the feeling of Titled Douluo?" The newcomer ignored Dugu Bo and the other two, his gaze falling on Chen Xin: "You weren't killed immediately, Hannibal, you're really lucky—"
"Snort--!"
Hannibal snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more. The other party's attitude clearly showed that he was confident, so his worries were no longer a problem.
"Damo!"
Just then, a sharp cry of alarm rang out, "You're 'The Cannibal' Jeffrey Damo?!?"
"You know him?" Dugu Bo turned his head and looked at Yue Guan, who had just screamed, and asked.
Yue Guan stared intently at the hook-nosed man in black and red heavy armor, and answered without turning his head, "More than sixty years ago, a large city in the Fasinuo Province [Heaven Dou Empire] turned into a dead zone overnight. Everyone in the city, regardless of age or gender, even infants in swaddling clothes, lost their Life."
The cause of death was the same: a large hole was punched in the skull, and the brains were completely sucked out!
"And the one who caused this tragedy was him! Jeffrey Damo, the 'cannibal'!"
"Afterwards, the Judgement Elder (Qian Daoliu) personally went after him to kill him, but unexpectedly, he was still alive!"
"So you're from the Spirit Hall ~" Jeffrey Damo listened to Yue Guan's explanation, his eyes narrowing as if they had turned into thin emerald green lines.
"Hannibal, these fish are bigger than expected; we can't let a single one escape!"
Yue Guan's words reminded Jeffrey Damo of the chase and escape more than sixty years ago. If it weren't for his special Martial Soul ability and good luck in escaping into the "Slaughter City," he would have died at the hands of that man with three pairs of golden wings.
Even though his strength has increased from a newly entered Soul Saint to an 89th-level Soul Douluo, and his combat power is no weaker than that of an ordinary Titled Douluo, Jeffrey Damo still does not have the courage to face that person again.
Unless, he takes another step forward and becomes Titled Douluo!
Thinking of this, Jeffrey Damo's gaze toward Chen Xin became intense.
"If I eat his brains, I should be able to break through to the Titled Douluo level!"
"How long are you going to wait?" Hannibal shouted again, turning his head to the northwest sky.
As Hannibal's voice spread through the air, dozens of figures shrouded in a bloody mist flew toward Cold Stone Town.
"Freddy, Myers, Norman..." Hannibal's face broke into a bloodthirsty grin as he saw the faces emerging from the blood mist.
"Not only that, Captain Sauron was also nearby during this hunt, in order to achieve our objective before the Spirit Hall could react." Jeffrey Damo's face revealed the same bloodthirsty smile as he spoke in a sharp, grating voice.
Soon, the dozens of figures arrived in this town that could only be described as ruins, and dispersed in all directions, surrounding the Martial Soul Branch Hall of Hanshi Town where Chen Xin and his group of four, as well as Ling Yi and the others, were located.
"So, you're the members of the ' Slaughter City,' the place of sin that Ling mentioned, the place that gathers the most Fallen Soul Master on the Douluo Continent, right?" Chen Xin looked around at the figures surrounding them and asked Jeffrey Damo and Hannibal.
"Slaughter City?!"
Before Hannibal and his companion could answer, Yue Guan, who had leaned closer, gasped again, her beautiful face showing shock. "You are Fallen Soul Master from the ' Slaughter City '?!"
"That's true," Yue Guan's shock gradually faded, replaced by realization. "Aside from the ' Slaughter City,' how could there be so many Fallen Soul Master on the continent, and with such strength?"
"However, since you dare to come out, aren't you afraid that His Holiness the Pope will order the complete erasure of your sinful city?!"
"Erase? Hehehe..." Hannibal seemed to have heard a funny joke and let out a series of low laughs.
"Hahaha... hohoho... hehehe..."
At the same time, the Fallen Soul Master surrounding them also let out various strange laughs.
"Do you think you still have a chance to spread the word about what happened here?" a Fallen Soul Master with an extremely ugly face and skin that looked like it had been severely burned said in a hoarse voice.
"Alright, let's not waste any more time—"
A majestic voice, as powerful as a resounding bell, echoed over Cold Stone Town: "After dealing with them, the hunt must continue. Do not delay the King's orders—!"
Faced with this voice, even the arrogant Hannibal and Jeffrey Damo responded respectfully at the first opportunity.
"Yes—!" *N
Ever since that brat named Tang Hao crossed the Hell Road, the "Slaughter City" has suffered a severe blow. Not only has the number of Fallen Soul Master decreased sharply, but the blood energy of the Blood Pool, which is the foundation of the "Slaughter City," has also declined significantly.
Therefore, with the tacit approval of the great Slaughter King, Sauron, the captain of the "Slaughter City" Law Enforcement Team, personally led the team to attack in all directions, just to hunt down enough humans in the shortest possible time to replenish the blood pool energy in the "Slaughter City".
A thousand years ago, the "Slaughter City" had an agreement with the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall would not interfere in any matters within the "Slaughter City," and the "Slaughter City" would restrict all Fallen Soul Master entered it, preventing them from taking a single step outside the "Slaughter City," effectively turning it into a prison or jail in the Douluo Continent specifically for imprisoning Fallen Soul Master.
But for these Fallen Soul Master who treat betrayal and breaking promises as commonplace, as long as they are not discovered by the Spirit Hall, they will never leave the "Slaughter City".
As for those who died?
The Ice Seal Forest is not far away; perhaps some Soul Beast escaped and devoured the townspeople.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with their "Slaughter City".
Upon realizing this, Yue Guan trembled with rage. Pointing at Hannibal and the others, she gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with undisguised fury and a barely perceptible hint of panic.
"Kill—!" *N
Amidst shouts, the Terror Knight from all around charged toward the Spirit Hall Branch building.
"He's mine!" Jeffrey Damo stared intently at Chen Xin, declaring his ownership, and immediately summoned his Martial Soul to pounce on him.
As they moved, the form of the Martial Soul was glimpsed briefly before disappearing into Jeffrey Damo's body.
It was a small bird that was entirely emerald green, except for its red beak, and its small emerald green eyes gleamed with the same fierce light as Jeffrey Damo's.
Jeffrey Damo, Martial Soul "Jade Demon Bird", Level 89 Power Attack System Soul Douluo!
"You're courting death!" Looking at the eight Soul Ring swirling beneath Jeffrey Damo's feet, Chen Xin's face turned icy. With a thought, his Martial Soul "Seven Kill Sword" appeared in his hand, and he swung it down with a single strike.
"Who do you think you are? Erlang?!"
With a roar of anger in his heart, Chen Xin attacked with all his might, determined to let this so-called 'cannibal' taste the sharpness of his longsword in one strike!
Apart from Erlang, Chen Xin has never been looked down upon like this by a low-level Soul Master!
"Boom--!!!"
Twelve sword shadows, each radiating sharp, elusive energy, descended from the sky, all slashing towards Jeffrey Damo.
Chen Xin, a level 91 Title Douluo, uses his eighth soul skill, "Moving Mountains and Filling Seas!"
"Let's continue!" Hannibal stuck out his blood-red tongue and licked his lips, looking at Yue Guan with the eyes of a butcher looking at a pig or sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
As soon as the sound faded, the crimson fleshy wings on his back flapped, and he transformed into a blood-red shadow, rushing towards Yue Guan.
Hannibal, with the Martial Soul "Bloodsucking Demon Bat", is an 88th-level Power Attack System Soul Douluo.
Faced with Hannibal's surprise attack, Yue Guan's Martial Soul "Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum" shone brightly and took the initiative to meet it.
The Gui Mei was supposed to attack together with Yue Guan was unable to go with him because he was entangled by the scarred Fallen Soul Master had spoken earlier.
Freddy, Martial Soul "Ghost Shadow", Level 85 Agility Attack System Soul Douluo!
VS
Gui Mei, Martial Soul "Gui Mei", Level 86 Agility Attack System Soul Douluo!
"Fifth Soul Skill: Wandering Souls and Wild Ghosts—!" / "Fifth Soul Skill: Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts—!"
"Sixth Soul Skill: Yin Soldiers Passing Through—!" / "Sixth Soul Skill: Demons and Monsters —!"...
As the war rages on, the Martial Soul Branch Hall of Cold Stone Town is about to face an attack by dozens of fallen soul masters.
Even the weakest Terror Knight possesses the strength of Five-Ring Soul King, while powerful figures like Myers and Norman are even Eight-Ring Soul Douluo level beings!
At the critical moment, Yang Shelly and Ah Yin stepped forward, their two jade hands clasped together, and a dazzling blue-gold light shone. A Valkyrie, nearly two meters tall with an incredibly graceful figure, wielding a blue-gold spear, thrust towards the fastest Six-Ring Soul Emperor- level Fallen Soul Master.
As for Myers and Norman, these two Eight-Ring Soul Douluo?
"Bang--!"
With a loud bang, the two figures flew out of Cold Stone Town like baseballs hit by a bat, tracing a perfect arc.
In that instant, everyone in Cold Stone Town, whether they were fighting or not, paused for a moment.
"Holy crap—!"
An undisguised exclamation escaped his lips, Yi Linlie's two heartfelt words expressed the feelings of everyone present.
Erlang -Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade," paused in his steps as he walked out, turning to look at Yi Linlie, who had exclaimed in surprise.
Although "Erlang" did not exude any aura, and his eyes under the silver-white mask were quite indifferent, Yi Linlie was immediately sweating profusely after swinging his spear and sending two Eight-Ring Soul Douluo flying. He quickly raised his hands to his ears and gave "Erlang" an embarrassed smile.
Ala Leiqi, Dongming Yu, and others who were originally standing with him remained silent, but their feet moved sideways a few steps in perfect unison, widening the distance between them and their captain.
Fortunately, Erlang only glanced at him casually before continuing to walk towards the oncoming Fallen Soul Master.
"Call--!"
Yi Linlie first let out a long sigh, patted his chest, then, as if remembering something, turned his head and glared fiercely at Ala Leiqi and the others. "A bunch of disloyal bastards!"
In response, the others either looked up at the sky, looked down at their feet, or gave Yi Linlie the same awkward smile.
"Master Ling, I'm much better now."
Wen Maoxiang felt his body, which was basically healed, and looked surprised. Then he glanced at the Fallen Soul Master who had surrounded him.
Erlang casually smashed away a few more Fallen Soul Master, then stood on one side of the Spirit Hall Branch rooftop without pursuing them, clearly intending to guard that spot.
On the other side, Yang Shelly and Ah Yin, who had entered Valkyrie mode by using the "Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Blue Silver Overlord Spear", also firmly blocked the attacking Fallen Soul Master.
Not to mention Erlang's amazing performance of casually smashing two Eight-Ring Soul Douluo away, just standing there was a powerful deterrent. Yang Shelly and Ah Yin were in Valkyrie form at this time, and their combat power was close to that of Titled Douluo. Each of them, with a spear, directly blocked dozens of Fallen Soul Master outside the Spirit Hall Branch.
Furthermore, below the roof of this two-story building, at the main entrance of the Martial Soul Branch Hall in Cold Stone Town, a stunningly beautiful woman with eight purplish-black spider legs on her back and six perfectly matched soul rings flashing beneath her feet was engaged in a fierce battle with a Soul Emperor and two Soul King-level Fallen Soul Masters.
It was Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, a twenty-three-year-old Soul Emperor!
Ling Yi arrived over here, pointed to Bibi Dong below, and said to Wen Maoxiang, Bai Ge, and Nangong Yanxue, "This is Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of your Spirit Hall. You should go and support her first."
It is evident that Bibi Dong possesses extremely formidable combat power, making her one of the strongest among those at the same level.
However, the Soul Emperor -level Fallen Soul Master she was facing not only had Soul Power of 69, but also an extremely fierce fighting style. Almost every attack was aimed at exchanging injury for injury or even death, and soon Bibi Dong was forced into a state of chaos.
Not to mention, there were two Fallen Soul Master at the Soul King Rank who would occasionally launch surprise attacks, forcing Bibi Dong to be distracted and deal with them.
Seeing this, Wen Maoxiang didn't hesitate and leaped down the building. While still in mid-air, he pounced on a Soul King who was about to launch another sneak attack on Bibi Dong. Bai Ge followed closely behind, engaging the last Soul King in combat.
Nangong Yanxue did not jump down. Instead, she stood on the second-floor rooftop, more than seven meters away, and cast healing and buffing Soul Skill on Bibi Dong, Wen Maoxiang, and Bai Ge below.
With Nangong Yanxue's healing support, Bibi Dong immediately went all out and fought fiercely against the Soul Emperor opposite her. She quickly turned the tide of the battle and gradually gained the upper hand.
On the rooftop, under Ah Rou's protection, Ling Yi looked around and observed the various battlefields.
Chen Xin is currently dominating Jeffrey Damo, but the opponent is extremely fast and has excellent survival skills, making him incredibly slippery. This has prevented Chen Xin from defeating him in the shortest amount of time, and the Douluo I has become quite intense.
In the second battle between Yue Guan and Hannibal, just like the first time, Hannibal's Martial Soul ability was strange, and with the defense and enhancement of the Torso Soul Bone, Yue Guan's situation was not very good.
As for Gui Mei and Freddy, they were evenly matched, fighting fiercely on the howling black mist battlefield, with neither able to gain the upper hand for the time being.
Dugu Bo was entangled by several Seven-Ring Soul Sage.
The Valkyrie and "Erlang" stood guard on either side of the rooftop, blocking more than 80% of the attacks from the Fallen Soul Master.
Or rather, it was the Valkyrie who stopped these Fallen Soul Master with just her spear, because no Fallen Soul Master dared to go over to "Erlang's " side.
As they were watching, they saw a "clever" Fallen Soul Master flapping his wings and flying into the sky, launching a surprise attack on Ling Yi and the others from above.
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Ah Rou emitted a cyan fluorescent light, raised her long legs, and kicked out.
Seeing Ah Rou stepping into the void, five Soul Ring swirling around her, and engaging in battle in mid-air with the Soul Emperor -level Fallen Soul Master had suddenly attacked, Yi Linlie led his companions to Ling Yi's side, protecting Ling Yi in the middle. He swallowed hard and made a hesitant promise:
"Master Ling, rest assured, with us here, we will absolutely not let these guys harm you!"
