Faced with the enemy's fierce attack, Marshal Ge Long commanded with composure, relying on the defensive fortifications of Jialing Pass to launch a series of attacks.
The shield bearers formed an impenetrable wall, blocking the allied forces' charge.
The spearmen thrust their spears through the gaps in the shield wall, knocking down the charging enemies.
Archers, positioned high on the city walls, were accurately shooting down the allied generals and Soul Master.
Although the Clear Sky Empire's taxi troops were outnumbered, they had the advantage of terrain and high morale, which allowed them to firmly hold back the allied forces' offensive.
Blood stained the earth, and corpses piled up like mountains. Shouts of battle, screams of agony, and the clash of weapons blended into a bloody war song.
This is exactly the effect that Bibi Dong and Tang San wanted.
Bibi Dong sat on the commander's seat, watching the taxi soldiers fall one after another on the battlefield, a glint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.
The Rakshasa Magic Array she had set up was frantically absorbing the resentment of the dead. The resentment was so dense that it was almost tangible, which was causing her Rakshasa God Trial to progress rapidly.
Tang San stood within the Star Luo Empire's formation, also sensing the evil energy permeating the battlefield.
The Evil God Power within him was operating wildly, transforming the negative emotions of the dead into his own strength.
The more deaths and injuries they suffer, the stronger they become.
The great war continues.
In the clash of top-tier forces, the Clear Sky Empire gradually gained the upper hand.
The terrifying boosts from Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong caused a surge in the combat power of the Titled Douluo of the Clear Sky Empire.
On the other hand, apart from a few individuals, the Spirit Hall Empire was mostly on the defensive.
Golden Crocodile Douluo was forced to retreat repeatedly by Tang Xiao, Azure Luan Douluo was struggling to defend himself against Dugu Bo's deadly poison, and Mad Lion Douluo's blood was churning from being struck by Tang Ming's Clear Sky Hammer...
If this stalemate continues, the Spirit Hall Empire may collapse.
Bibi Dong finally couldn't sit still any longer.
She stood up, and a burst of purple-gold light erupted from her body!
The oppressive aura of Level 99 Peerless Douluo was like the sky collapsing and the earth sinking, engulfing the entire battlefield!
The ordinary soldiers trembled under this oppressive aura, and even some Soul Saint- level generals turned pale.
She took a step forward and dashed towards Tang Xiao!
But a figure blocked her way.
Tang Lie.
Level 98 Douluo the Clear Sky Hammer, fully unleashing the Divine Slaughter's Domain!
Without any preamble, he swung his Clear Sky Hammer, unleashing the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, the Break Formula, and smashed it towards Bibi Dong!
Bibi Dong snorted coldly, activated her Death Domain to its fullest extent, and drew her Rakshasa Demon Scythe.
The purple-gold light and the dark gold hammer light collided violently!
(PS: In the original novel, Bibi Dong only obtained the Rakshasa Demon Scythe after becoming a god, which seems to be for Tang San to show off. The setting has been adjusted here.)
boom!!!
The shockwave swept in all directions, sending taxi drivers flying dozens of feet into the air!
The ground was blasted into a huge crater several meters deep, with debris flying everywhere!
Tang Lie staggered back several steps, his hand on his hand went numb, and his entire right arm trembled slightly.
Bibi Dong remained completely still.
The Soul Power foundation of Level 99 is incomparable to that of Level 98.
Moreover, she was holding the real divine weapon Rakshasa Demon Scythe.
She pressed her advantage relentlessly, unleashing a barrage of attacks with her Rakshasa Demon Scythe, each strike carrying an evil power capable of corrupting everything.
Purple-gold light blades intertwined in the air, forming a net that enveloped Tang Lie!
Tang Lie gritted his teeth and endured the attack, destroying two of his Soul Ring. Crimson-gold flames ignited on his Clear Sky Hammer as he parried blow after blow.
But each blow caused his blood to surge, forcing him to retreat step by step.
However, the Clear Sky Empire also possessed divine artifacts.
Dugu Yan moved.
With the Sea God Trident in hand, its golden blade radiated a dazzling light.
She took a step forward, landing beside Tang Lie, and swept her trident horizontally, unleashing a golden blade of light towards Bibi Dong!
Bibi Dong raised her sickle to block, her body swaying slightly.
Without pausing, Dugu Yan unleashed the " Golden Thirteen Halberds " technique of the Sea God Halberd in succession!
Each halberd carries the sacred power of the Sea God, specifically designed to counter Bibi Dong's evil aura!
At the same time, the Sea God's Light emanated from the golden trident mark on her forehead, forcing Bibi Dong's Death Domain back.
Tang Lie and Dugu Yan joined forces, one wielding a hammer and the other a halberd, to launch a combined attack.
Dugu Yan directly confronted the attack with the Sea God Trident, unleashing wave after wave of light blades from the trident.
Tang Lie attacked from the side, Clear Sky Hammer forced Bibi Dong to distract herself from blocking.
The two of them worked together to force Bibi Dong into a state of chaos.
Although Bibi Dong was strong, she was actually starting to be pressured by the two of them attacking from the side!
Her face was ashen.
The battlefield situation is extremely precarious!
Just as the situation was at a stalemate, two golden figures descended from the sky!
Within the golden light stood Qian Daoliu, Level 99 Peerless Douluo, and Qian Renxue, Level 97 wielding the Angel Holy Sword! Qian Renxue had already completed the first seven trials.
The two men's overwhelming aura was like two mountains descending from the sky, silencing the entire battlefield!
Qian Renxue unleashed her full Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, six golden wings unfurling behind her, their holy light so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at her.
In her hand, the Angel Holy Sword embodied the power of judgment, its golden runes gleaming in the sunlight.
Qian Daoliu's Angel Domain suddenly unfolded, fiercely clashing with Tang Lie's Divine Slaughter's Domain.
In his hand, a giant sword identical to the Angel Holy Sword in Qian Renxue's hand also materialized.
Qian Daoliu raised the greatsword above his head with both hands and slashed at Tang Lie!
Tang Lie destroyed two more Soul Ring and swung his Clear Sky Hammer to take the sword strike head-on!
clang!!!
Tang Lie was knocked back dozens of feet by the sword strike, his feet carving two deep furrows in the ground.
A trickle of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
Qian Daoliu, as expected of a veteran Level 99 Peerless Douluo, displayed the Angel Martial Soul to its fullest extent.
Each of his sword strikes carried the power of divine judgment, each strike as heavy as a mountain, causing Tang Lie's blood to surge.
On the other side, Qian Renxue met Dugu Yan.
The Angel Holy Sword and the Sea God Trident clashed and collided, their golden and azure lights intertwining.
Both were heirs to divine positions, possessed divine artifacts, and were empowered by their own domains, making them evenly matched in battle.
The tide of battle turned in an instant, but the battle continued.
Qian Daoliu's sword strikes were faster than the last, Tang Lie managed to destroy five of his Soul Ring in a row. He fought desperately, but was forced to retreat steadily.
Although he was able to hold out for the time being, blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth, and his breathing began to become erratic.
Although Dugu Yan was locked in a stalemate with Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong was watching closely from the side, so she couldn't get away to support Tang Lie.
Just as Tang Lie was about to be struck by Qian Daoliu's sword, three figures shot in from the sky!
A massive Clear Sky Hammer arrived before the figure, hurtling towards Qian Daoliu!
The hammer shadow carried a terrifying power that Space Rending; wherever it passed, the air was compressed into white shockwaves.
Qian Daoliu's pupils contracted sharply, forcing him to abandon Tang Lie and parry with his sword!
clang!!!
Qian Daoliu was forced back dozens of meters by the blow before he regained his footing. When he looked up, a look of horror flashed in his eyes.
This person's power is terrifying!
The light emanating from the three figures gradually faded.
It was Tang Feng, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lingling who arrived just in time!
Tang Feng held the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, his Flame Dragon Wings spread out behind him, the golden wings gleaming in the sunlight.
Nine Soul Ring lit up in succession beneath his feet: black, black, black, black, black, red, red, red, and gold!
A golden, Million-Year Soul Ring shone brilliantly in the sunlight!
The entire battlefield fell silent instantly.
All eyes were focused on that figure.
No one knew that the golden Soul Ring was Million-Year Soul Ring, because no one had ever seen one before.
No one in the entire history of the continent has ever possessed such a Soul Ring.
Qian Daoliu's pupils contracted sharply, his heart churning with turbulent emotions.
Why is this kid's aura so powerful? It even surpasses Tang Chen's from back then!
His eyes were filled with apprehension.
After defeating Qian Daoliu, Tang Feng went to Tang Lie's side and helped him up, saying worriedly, "Grandpa, are you alright?"
Tang Lie smiled, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said stubbornly, "It's alright, it's alright. Qian Daoliu is nothing special!"
Tang Feng didn't expose him; he simply patted him on the shoulder lightly.
Ye Lingling immediately activated her Eighth Soul Skill, " Life Protection," to quickly heal the injuries of her surrounding allies.
A moment later, Tang Feng raised his head and his gaze swept across the entire battlefield.
Opposite them, Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong formed a triangular formation.
Both sides stopped fighting and neither made another move.
It was getting dark.
The setting sun dyed the entire earth a dark red, as if it had been soaked in blood.
Just as Tang Feng was about to charge at Qian Daoliu and his two companions, Tang Xiao to Tang Feng's side and whispered, "It's too late today, let's retreat. We'll fight again tomorrow."
Tang Feng nodded.
He looked at Qian Daoliu, his voice calm and resolute. "Old fool, I hope you won't hide tomorrow."
Qian Daoliu stared at him coldly, without saying a word, the apprehension in his eyes lingering for Jiujiu.
Both armies withdrew and returned to their camps.
The Clear Sky Empire's army, carrying the corpses of their comrades, slowly retreated back into Jialing Pass, and the allied forces also retreated to their camp.
The soldiers, exhausted, carried the wounded back to their respective tents in silence.
At Jialing Pass, Tang Feng stood alone on the city wall.
His gaze passed over the blood-stained land beyond the pass and landed on the lights of the allied army camp in the distance.
He was pondering: How could victory be achieved while minimizing soldier casualties?
