The Heaven Dou Empire Plunged into Chaos!
Three hundred heavily armored Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Eastern Palace assassins escorted three armored chariots, rushing like a steel torrent straight towards the outermost defensive line of the Heaven Dou Imperial City, three miles away!
However, just as the convoy reached a hundred feet away from the Vermilion Bird City Gate, the entire majestic barbican was suddenly illuminated by a blinding curtain of lightning!
The Imperial City City's protective Soul Guidance Array is now fully activated!
On the towering arrow tower of the barbican, which stood fifteen zhang high, the Second Elder of the Clear Sky Sect stood with their black robes fluttering in the wind, all nine of their Soul Ring activated beneath their feet.
In the very center of the Wengcheng passageway, Yu Luomian (level 88 Soul Douluo), the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, stood with five Imperial Family Soul Douluo, swords drawn.
Thirty thousand fully armed heavy armored imperial guards filled the double barbican to the brim, while three hundred armor-piercing and god-slaying crossbows gleamed coldly on the city walls. Five hundred royal Soul Master formed a coordinated battle formation, sealing the entire south gate into an impenetrable iron barrel of death!
Even more deadly, smoke and dust obscured the sun at the ends of the plains on both the east and west sides, as 40,000 heavy cavalry from the capital region rapidly surrounded and converged, causing the earth to tremble violently under their iron hooves!
"Trying to leave? None of you will leave Heaven Dou City alive today! Fire!!"
On the city wall, the Second Elder of the Clear Sky Sect, his hair standing on end in fury, smashed the crenellations with a hammer and roared fiercely.
Crash! Crash! Crash!
Three hundred armor-piercing, god-slaying heavy crossbows roared simultaneously, their thick steel spears, laden with scalding hot oil and millstone-like boulders, raining down on the convoy that had stormed into the narrow passage of the barbican like a dark cloud pressing down on the city!
"Seven Treasures True Body! Uncle Jian, Uncle Bone, stop those two old bastards up there!"
Ning Fengzhi atop the first chariot, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda radiating dazzling light.
"Seven Kill Avatar!"
"The Bone Dragon True Body!"
Chen Xin and Gu Rong simultaneously soared into the sky! The hundred-foot-long Seven Killings Giant Sword and the ferocious giant bone dragon crashed fiercely into the Second Elder of the Clear Sky Sect and Seventh Elder, who were swooping down from mid-air.
Four Titled Douluo of Level 90 or above fiercely clashed above the barbican. Two hundred-meter-long Haotian giant hammers, amplified by the thunder and fire of the city's protective array, crashed down relentlessly. The four powerful figures instantly locked in a tight grip, none of them able to spare a hand to attend to what lay below!
Without the protection of the Sword and Bone Twin Douluo, the lower barbican passage has become a bloody grinder!
Pfft! Pfft!
More than thirty Seven Treasures Death Warriors who were at the forefront, carrying giant black Black Iron shields to clear the way, were shot through by the God-Slaying Heavy Crossbows, shields and all. The scalding hot oil poured on their heavy armor burst into flames. Amidst the shrill screams, dozens of them fell to the ground covered in blood, using their broken bodies to hold up the overturned deer fortress!
"The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Avatar!"
With a wound on his left rib and bloodshot eyes, Dugu Bo transformed into a hundred-foot-long dark green giant snake, lying across the armored chariot, using his bare body to withstand the energy beam blasted by five hundred royal Soul Master!
With a deafening roar, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's belly scales, as large as bowls, shattered and rolled over, scalding snake blood splattering all over the roof of the car, and the old wound on its left side reopened!
"Grandfather!"
Dugu Yan's eyes widened in fury. She leaped onto the carriage shaft, and the brand-new black Fourth Soul Ring beneath her feet lit up with a bang. "Jade Phosphorous Bone-Eroding Nether Mist!"
A thick, black, purplish-black, highly poisonous mist roared out, swirling upwards along the city wall!
On the west side, over a hundred crossbowmen, caught off guard, had their skin instantly fester and exposed bone, screaming as they tumbled off the city wall; another wisp of dark mist precisely clung to the thick copper-clad iron bolts of the outer city gate, emitting a hissing, intensely corrosive white smoke!
"The Begonia Bathes in the Spring Breeze, their Crimson Gold Indestructibility!"
Ye Lingling followed closely behind, activating the fourth black ring of the ten-thousand-year era. The countless pink and gold Begonia Flower transformed into tangible light shields that merged into the bodies of the vanguard assassins. The wounds of dozens of heavily armored assassins who were about to fall after being pierced by stray arrows in the shoulders and abdomens instantly stopped bleeding. They roared and once again swung their swords to cleave through the Imperial Guard's spear formation blocking their path!
"Zhu Zhuqing, right winch!"
Xiao Wu's feet flashed with the eternal black rings, Teleportation into the east gate. With a Soft Bone Lock combined with the Eight-Stage Throw, she directly snapped the necks of two fourth-ring imperial guard commanders.
Zhu Zhuqing transformed into a streak of dark lightning that swept across the winch platform. With a flash of cold light from her sharp claws, the throats of the six heavily armored captains controlling the Dragon Severing Gate gushed blood as they collapsed to the ground, their iron chains severed by her claws!
"You little beast, die! I Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Avatar!"
Seeing the iron chains being severed, Yu Luomian, who was guarding the outermost copper-clad Black Iron, bristled with hair and beard, and his eight Soul Ring shone brightly, instantly transforming into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Avatar, its body Entanglement raging purple lightning!
Five Imperial Family Eight-Ring Soul Douluo simultaneously poured all their Soul Power into the city's protective array. Thunder snakes danced wildly on the three-foot-thick, ten-thousand-pound copper-clad black Black Iron outer gate, connecting with Yu Luomian's thunder dragon true form, firmly sealing off the only way out!
The shouts of battle from the east and west flanks have already approached within three miles of the barbican. If we delay for another ten breaths, the entire army will be completely surrounded!
"Nine Treasures Have Names, power, speed, and attack, all unleashed!" Ning Rongrong bit her tongue, disregarding the depletion of her Soul Power, and cast the amplification spell on Su Chen.
"Qian Renxue, follow me and break down the door!"
Su Chen let out a deafening dragon roar, and the 50,000-year-old [Ice-Fire Dark-Gold Dragon Emperor Wings] on his back suddenly unfurled!
The six-zhang-wide dark gold dragon wings tore through the air, creating a piercing sonic boom, and the whole person transformed into a golden-red streak of light, crashing head-on into the hundred-meter-long thunder dragon!
Qian Renxue's six wings, adorned with crimson-gold dragon patterns, unfurled simultaneously, and her level 73 Angel Soul Power condensed into a dazzling Angel Holy Sword over ten feet long, which followed Su Chen's left wing and slashed down!
"You wretched creature, you're courting death! Thunderous Might Dragon Emperor Break!"
Yu Luomian roared and extended his hundred-foot-long dragon claw, Entanglement the lightning energy of the city's protective array, and together with the sword energy of the five Soul Douluo, he slammed down on them!
"You dare call yourself the Dragon Emperor? Get the hell out of my way!"
Su Chen neither dodged nor evaded, unleashing the full power of the Chaos Ancestral Dragon bloodline!
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon bloodline that Yu Luomian was so proud of was momentarily slowed down by half a breath under the suppression of the ancestor of all dragons!
It was this fatal half-breath— Qian Renxue's Angel Holy Sword— that shattered the combined blade energy of the five Soul Douluo, and the holy flames burned two of Soul Douluo, causing them to scream and retreat violently.
Su Chen withstood the violent recoil lightning arcs striking him from the city's protective array. His clothes were charred and torn, and his claws, covered in crimson-gold dragon scales, forcefully caught the dragon claws that Yu Luomian was about to strike. Using the terrifying propulsion of the 50,000-year-old Dragon Emperor Wings, he pressed his way in, and the sharp, dark-gold spear tip on his right wing slashed fiercely across the chest and abdomen of the hundred-meter-long thunder dragon!
Sizzle!!
Dragon scales shattered, and blood gushed forth like a waterfall! Yu Luomian's chest was ripped open by the 50,000-year-old dragon wing, leaving a deep, two-zhang-long blood groove. The massive thunder dragon's true form howled in agony as Su Chen kicked it away, crashing into half of the city gate tower's brick wall!
The city's protective lightning array was breached, but the massive gate, five zhang high and three chi thick, weighing tens of thousands of kilograms and made of copper and black Black Iron, still firmly blocked the exit of the barbican!
"Everyone, stand back and cover the heavy vehicles!"
Su Chen hovered three zhang in front of the giant gate, his eyes bloodshot. The 50,000-year-old fifth Soul Ring under his feet, which was shrouded in dark gold dragon patterns, suddenly burst out with a blinding black and red divine light!
"Ice-Fire Dragon Emperor Annihilation Storm - Break it!!"
This time, Su Chen did not let the storm spread. Instead, his arm muscles bulged like dragons, and his forehead veins bulged. He forcefully used his palms and the 50,000-year-old Ice-Fire Dark-Gold Dragon Emperor Wings on his back to compress the extremely cold Xuanbing and extremely hot Pure Yang Dragon Fire, which were enough to destroy the entire block, into a single point at the tip of the spear where his wings were closed!
The violent recoil caused Su Chen's palms to split open instantly, and golden dragon blood gushed out from between his fingers!
Boom!!!!
Su Chen his wings like a meteor crashing to the ground, the tips of his wings carrying a compressed storm of ice and fire destruction, piercing solidly into the very center of the three-foot-thick copper-clad Black Iron gate!
In the first breath, the extremely cold ice instantly froze the ten thousand catties of Black Iron and its internal mechanisms into something as brittle as thin ice; half a breath later, the Pure Yang Dragon Fire, extremely strong Zhiyang, exploded and expanded inside the door!
Rumble rumble rumble!!
A terrifying, earth-shaking roar reverberated throughout the southern suburbs of Heaven Dou!
The massive gate, weighing tens of thousands of kilograms and made of copper and black Black Iron, which was said to be so strong that even three days and three nights of battering ramming wouldn't be enough to shake it, along with the granite city walls several meters wide on both sides, were blown away by the terrifying explosion of ice and fire!
Countless red-hot iron fragments and ice shards rained down on the rebel camps on both sides of the barbican, instantly turning hundreds of heavily armored imperial guards who were trying to regroup into a bloody pulp!
"The door's broken!! Get out!!"
Dugu Bo and Ning Fengzhi raised their arms and shouted.
The more than two hundred surviving assassins, covered in blood and with bloodshot eyes, escorted three armored chariots and charged out of the barbican like tigers released from their cages!
Seeing the convoy rush out of the city gate, Chen Xin and Gu Rong, who were in mid-air, used a feint to force back the two enraged elders of the Clear Sky Sect.
Chen Xin turned around in mid-air, and with a mighty slash from top to bottom with the Seven Kill Avatar Greatsword, he directly cut the thirty-zhang-wide iron chain suspension bridge of the moat outside the city, along with more than a hundred imperial guards who had caught up with him on the bridgehead, in one fell swoop!
The swiftly flowing river instantly cut off the pursuit of tens of thousands of infantrymen inside the barbican!
Breaking free from the hundred-foot-high wall, the convoy sped along the southern Official Road.
Su Chen retracted the blood-stained 50,000-year-old Dragon Emperor Wings and landed back on the shaft of the lead chariot. He looked up at the vast land outside the city and his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.
The once prosperous and peaceful Heaven Dou imperial capital is now engulfed in flames and smoke from war!
As far as the eye could see, more than ten garrison towns in the distance simultaneously emitted billowing black smoke, which shot straight into the leaden-gray sky.
Along the wide Official Road and across the wilderness, armies of feudal lords bearing the banners of various kingdoms and duchies fighting for the king were everywhere, clashing fiercely with the rebel cavalry flying the banners of the Xue Xing Pseudo-Dynasty and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
Broken spears, overturned and burning grain carts, and the cold, armored corpses of soldiers covered the muddy fields. Several tattered banners of high-ranking academies that had come to the Imperial City to participate in the Soul Master Tournament were soaking in dark red blood and mud, fluttering in the wind.
The Heaven Dou Empire is in complete chaos!
The entire army galloped for over ten miles, shaking off the rebel cavalry scouts on its east and west flanks who were blocked by the terrain, and just as they entered a leeward slope to catch their breath—
Call out--!!
A piercingly sharp whistling sound suddenly tore through the thick smoke from the direction of the North Wind Canyon, several miles to the south!
Chen Xin's eyes sharpened as he was about to swing his sword down, but Su Chen swiftly raised his right hand, his five fingers, wrapped in Pure Yang Dragon Aura, catching the incoming arrow in mid-air!
