Chapter 338
Shui Bing'er turned around, gave the two flirting lovers Lengleng glance, and then said, "Did you notice? Two people are missing from the Seven Great Sects Legion below..."
Upon hearing Yu Tianshuang's azure eyes flashed with a sharp light. She activated her Extreme Ice Eternal Frost Eye to examine the situation below. After a moment, the light in her eyes disappeared. "The sect leader of the Sparrow Bee Sect and the Holy Dragon Sect, they must have other missions, right? After all, the Sparrow Bee Sect's Martial Soul is known for its speed, so they've probably been sent to act as scouts. As for the sect leader of the Holy Dragon Sect, as the only Titled Douluo among the Seven Great Sects, he's probably being used as a surprise force..."
Shui Bing'er pondered for a moment, then shook her head. "Something's not right. I feel like there's something wrong with it. The Heaven Dou Empire should have known about the Sect Master Tuoba's information long ago, since he also participated in the last battle. Why hide him now... I don't understand Bibi Dong's intention in doing this. And although the Sparrow Bee Sect Master is fast and has a flying Martial Soul, isn't Zhu Zhuqing the best choice for a scout?"
Yu Tianshuang shrugged indifferently. "Oh, Senior Sister, you're overthinking it, too cautious. The current situation clearly shows we have the upper hand. Who cares, let's just do it, right!"
Huo Wu, standing beside her, wholeheartedly agreed. She was never one to overthink things, or rather, she knew herself perfectly well. Even if she racked her brains, it wouldn't be as efficient as someone else taking a moment's thought. So her philosophy was simply to obey and then burn everything away. "That's right, me too..."
But before he could finish speaking, he was met with a cold gaze from Shui Bing'er, forcing him to swallow the rest of his words. Yu Tianshuang, standing beside him, dared not say anything more and quickly adopted a serious expression, "Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. I certainly won't underestimate my opponent, don't worry!"
Meanwhile, in the direction of the Heaven Dou Empire's camp, Xue Beng watched the army's orderly retreat, his heart filled with resentment. He had endured for many years, disguising himself as a playboy, all for the sake of one day protecting himself and achieving great things. Now he had inherited the throne, and even his dream of unifying the continent, a dream he had only ever had in his dreams, was about to be realized. But he was just one step away... He was so close! Damn it, why was Yu Tianshuang so strong? He was truly unwilling to accept it!
Report!!!
Xue Beng clenched his fists, inwardly cursing. At that moment, Bai He Bai He, the leader of the Tang Sect's Agility Hall, appeared before him like a gentle Xue Beng, anxiously calling out, "The Spirit Hall Empire's army has left Jialing Pass and is now marching towards our camp..."
Xue Beng was shocked. "How is that possible? Are you referring to the Spirit Hall Empire's army or their Titled Douluo?"
"It's a large army, including the Soul Master legions of the Seven Great Sects, Bibi Dong's personal guard, and the Soul Master legions of the Spirit Hall Empire..."
Xue Beng Xue Beng to the ground, then looked at Bai He in disbelief. "No, how could it be a large army? That thousand-meter-long Ice Seal canyon that Yu Tianshuang's sword struck, while it might have blocked the advance of my Heaven Dou Empire's million-strong army, it's impossible for the Spirit Hall Empire's army to pass through either. Are you sure you're not mistaken!"
Bai He reaffirmed, pointing to the now blackened and hardened earth, "I'm not mistaken, Your Majesty... that thousand-meter-long Ice Seal canyon is long gone... Judging from the terrain, it must have been done by that woman from the Spirit Hall Empire who possessed the Ultimate Fire..."
Hearing Bai He's analysis, Xue Beng was somewhat bewildered. How could his scouts have waited until now, with the enemy already at their doorstep, to report their plan to melt the thousand-meter-long Ice Seal canyon left by Yu Tianshuang? "How did they manage that...?"
"Your Majesty!!! Regardless of how the Spirit Hall Empire accomplished all this so quietly, the only option now is to retreat quickly. The entire army certainly can't be withdrawn completely; leaving behind a rearguard is just what we need to preserve the Soul Master Legion, giving us a possible future opportunity to contend with the Spirit Hall Empire!"
Completely bewildered, Xue Beng nodded hastily, saying, "Alright, alright, everything will be as you say!"
"Your Majesty, why panic now? Since the Spirit Hall Empire dares to come, then let's fight! What has our Heaven Dou Empire to fear?"
Just then, a figure appeared before them. Bai He was startled and was about to unleash his Soul Power to protect Xue Beng when he discovered that the person who appeared was actually Tang San...
"Teacher!!! Sect Master!!!"
The two looked at Tang San in disbelief, but before they could ask any questions, he interrupted them, "I know you have many questions, but now is not the time to talk about them, Your Majesty. You should quickly order Marshal Ge Long to organize a large army to meet the enemy and boost morale!"
"I never imagined that even after Tang San's death, the Tang Sect he left behind would still pose such a significant threat..."
In the sky, Shui Bing'er watched as the two armies clashed. What should have been a decisive battle turned into a stalemate with the addition of the Tang Sect's Soul Master. In particular, the ordinary soldiers had actually taken out so-called Hidden Weapon, whose lethality could threaten the lives of Soul Ancestor.
Feeling her clothes being tugged, Yu Tianshuang looked at Huo Wu beside her and found that her eyes were full of longing. That's right, this silly girl is the most suitable person for this kind of large-scale battlefield. She wants to join the battle, but since Bibi Dong has not given the order, Shui Bing'er will definitely not agree, so she asked her for help.
"Ahem, um, senior sister..."
Yu Tianshuang had barely opened her mouth when Shui Bing'er interrupted her, "No, our mission is to deal with the high-end combat power of the Heaven Dou Empire. The war has only just begun, what's the rush? Not to mention Ye Yuxuan and Zhong Meng, not even one of those Titled Douluo without intelligence from the Holy Spirit Cult has appeared yet. And have you forgotten the corpses of the Shrek Academy students that Ye Yuxuan took away? Which one has appeared?"
"Snort!"
"Huo Wu, Bibi Dong has handed over command of the Titled Douluo to me. If you disobey, go find your Empress sister; otherwise, you'd better obey!"
"Why are you yelling at me? I... I didn't say I was disobedient..."
"Puff!"
Seeing Huo Wu's aggrieved expression, everyone present couldn't help but chuckle.
"Soldiers!!! The Spirit Hall Empire is relentlessly pursuing us, trying to leave us all here. Now there is no turning back. Behind us are our homes, our families and friends. They want to occupy our country and slaughter our families. I, Ge Long, will be the first to stop them. I can stay, but if they want to cross over, then they'll step over my dead bodies! Charge! For everything we want to protect, kill the enemy!!!"
Hidden in mid-air, Ye Yuxuan looked down at the spirited Heaven Dou Empire army, clapped her hands in satisfaction, and pursed her sexy red lips in praise, "Not bad, not bad, that's how you boost morale. Only battle spirits filled with conviction are what I need... Bibi Dong, I'm not like you, so indiscriminate, I can eat anything, hehe..."
