The Melee Begins

"Haha, Tang San never dreamed we'd have a weapon as powerful as Huo Wu, right? With her attacks, she's practically an entire army by herself! Nana, don't you think so? Haha, Nana?"

After Huo Wu made her move, not only did the two great empires fall silent, but even the Spirit Hall Empire was silent for a while. Then, all kinds of praises burst out. Yan and Huo Wu were both fire attribute Soul Master and had a very good relationship in private. Seeing his good friend display his great power, he couldn't help but laugh heartily. However, when he looked at Hu Liena beside him, he found that her expression was strange.

Hu Liena gazed at Huo Wumei, Huo Wu seemed to have descended from the heavens like Fire God, her eyes vacant and lost in thought. "Yes... Huo Wu truly deserves your praise. If Huo Wu were here back then..."

"Nana, stop talking! Watch your words!"

Before Hu Liena could finish speaking, Xie Yue stopped her. As her brother, Xie Yue knew what Hu Liena had been thinking all along, but transferring Huo Wu Huo Wu was His Majesty's order, so Hu Liena definitely couldn't say what she was about to say.

One after another, enormous, blazing white fireballs were hurled from Huo Wu's hands onto the battlefield. The people from the Seven Great Sects behind her quickly retreated, fearing they would be accidentally injured by this woman's enormous attack range. A lava zone spanning a thousand meters was formed, and not a single Death Kui or Mammon could be seen on the battlefield anymore.

The intense heat distorted the air itself. The allied forces of the two empires, looking at the blurred figures opposite them and the thousand-meter-long lava field, swallowed hard once more before falling into complete silence. Tang San was also at a loss. Aside from the Holy Spirit Cult members, it seemed that among their high-end combat forces, only he could stop Huo Wu. However, his reappearance after his attack would make the Spirit Hall Empire think that the allied forces of the two empires had no one else to rely on.

Time gave him no time to think. A giant begonia flower appeared above the heads of the Seven Great Sects Legion at the front line, and beams of emerald green light shone down on them. Except for Hu Yanzhen, who had been pierced and killed by the Huyan Zhen of the Sea God Trident, everyone in the Seven Great Sects instantly recovered.

The kilometer-long lava zone created by Huo Wu's attack made it impossible for ordinary soldiers to enter. The injuries that the Death Kui and Mammon had painstakingly inflicted on the Seven Great Sects Legion were healed by Ye Lingling. With Huo Wu, this war machine, moving amidst the commotion in the army, Huo Wu caused panic among the heavy cavalry legions closest to her. Although they did not flee due to their good training, the oppressive feeling Huo Wu exerted on these ordinary soldiers was simply too strong.

"Alright, let's go. They've received reinforcements. You guys can go in now..."

Ye Yuxuan could see Tang San's dilemma and stopped him. Then she gestured to Zhong Meng beside her. The tall and Zhong Meng immediately transformed into a streak of black light and rushed towards the slowly moving Huo Wu.

"Oh my, I deliberately moved slowly while waiting for your reinforcements. I thought it would be Tang San, but it's you, you big bear. I've heard Zhu Zhuqing mention you. You were the one who almost got cut down by Tianshuang's sword, weren't you?"

Huo Wu glanced at Zhong Meng, who had appeared before her, with a hint of disdain, and then began to mock him. These words immediately broke Zhong Meng's guard, which had been filled with arrogance. Back in the Star Luo Empire, he had been instantly killed by Yu Tianshuang, whose cultivation was inferior to his own, with a single sword strike. If it weren't for the sect leader's intercession, he might have already died. This incident had always been a scar in his heart, and now that Huo Wu had openly brought it up, he was immediately enraged and, without saying a word, charged at Huo Wu to attack.

"Repelling Fire Ring!" What...?

Huo Wu looked at Zhong Meng, who was wielding a black scythe, with a mocking laugh. She didn't take this guy, who had been instantly killed by Yu Tianshuang's sword, seriously. She raised her palm, wanting to continue conjuring Huo Wu's Huo Wu's Dazzling Brilliance, and then her body would burst into a circle of flames. But unexpectedly, Zhong Meng completely ignored the fire circle that could have pushed him away. As if he had turned into Nothingness, he appeared in front of Huo Wu and slashed horizontally with his scythe. This surprised Huo Wu for a moment. She had no choice but to dissipate the fireball in her hand, turning it into a wisp of flame and appearing in the distance.

"Level 98... and what the hell is this Gui Mei thing? It actually passed through my flames without a scratch..."

"Pufferfish, She Long, Ghost Leopard, Demon Bear, the four of you immediately support Huo Wu. This thousand-meter-long lava zone is preventing the allied forces of the two empires from crossing for the time being, which is good for us. Their numerical advantage is gone!"

Bibi Dong was also somewhat surprised. According to the intelligence, this person was Zhong Meng, the vice leader of the Holy Spirit Cult. His strength should not be level 98, but judging from how he suppressed Huo Wu after he appeared, her perception was correct. He was indeed level 98.

"Hmph! Outnumbering them? My Holy Spirit Cult isn't afraid of you! Tang San, bring your men and charge! Take down these five Titled Douluo in one fell swoop!"

Seeing that the Spirit Hall Empire had once again dispatched four Titled Douluo to join Huo Wu in attacking Zhong Meng, Ye Yuxuan spoke disdainfully to Tang San. On the Holy Spirit Cult's side, a dozen or so black-robed figures appeared in unison, ascending into the sky like Gui Mei. Upon hearing this, Tang San also gave Dai Mubai and the others a look and then took to the air, following the dozen or so figures of the Holy Spirit Cult as they rushed towards the battlefield in the sky.

"Hmph, so you finally couldn't hold back, Tang San? Very well!"

Bibi Dong saw a group of people flying towards her, including Tang San, she couldn't help but sneer and rushed forward first. Then, the high-end combat force of the Spirit Hall Empire also got up and followed behind Bibi Dong.

"How is this possible? These dozen or so people are all Titled Douluo..."

When these black-robed men didn't make a move, even Bibi Dong couldn't sense their presence. But after exchanging blows, she discovered that these dozen or so people actually possessed the strength of Titled Douluo, albeit only at the initial stage of Titled Douluo. This still greatly surprised Bibi Dong, but considering the methods of the Holy Spirit Cult, she understood.

It must be said that Bibi Dong truly lived up to her reputation as a level 99 Limit Douluo. Although she couldn't fully unleash her strength, she almost single-handedly suppressed Zhong Meng, Tang San, and three Titled Douluo from the Holy Spirit Cult, while the rest of the group fought amongst themselves, creating a brief but delicate balance in the situation.

"Zhu Zhuqing!!!"

Dai Mubai clutched the bloody scratch on his chest from Zhu Zhuqing's claws, took out Oscar's sausage and ate it. He looked at her beautiful face, which was expressionless as she stared at him, as if she were a stranger. Her stunning figure and Dai Mubai combined to ignite not only his anger but also a desire in him—a desire to conquer and ravage her.
