Had They Won? No, the Real Battle Was Just Beginning! Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo Battered and Disheveled!
"Why have the Soul Beasts suddenly launched a beast tide against a human city? Nothing like this has happened in years. Could it be that the Soul Beasts have had enough of being hunted by humans and have risen up together?"
High in the sky over the Tiandou Empire, a figure sped toward Suotuo City.
Two men stood on a long sword, one old and one middle-aged.
They were Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who had white hair, blue robes, and a ramrod-straight posture, and Ning Fengzhi, a refined middle-aged man with black hair and blue robes.
They had received Emperor Xue Ye's plea for help and hurriedly sped up to reinforce the front lines.
If it were just the two of them, they might have had a hard time, but they had heard that an army of Titled Douluo led by Spirit Hall's newly appointed Pope, Bibi Dong, was also there. Only then did they breathe a little easier.
They also intended to see Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo with their own eyes.
They wanted to see how great the gap between the two sides was.
As for Bone Douluo Gu Rong, he had stayed behind to hold the fort at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
After listening, Chen Xin said, "A bunch of Soul Beasts dare to rebel? Have they asked whether my Seven Kill Sword agrees? No matter what, they can't possibly send out a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast in this beast tide. As long as they aren't hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts, I'm confident I can slay them with ease! Even if we really do run into a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, there's no need to worry."
"True. With your skills, Uncle Jian, those Soul Beasts really can't compare."
Ning Fengzhi nodded in agreement.
They had set out from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and even at top speed, they couldn't arrive in a short time. By the time they got there, the beast tide might already have been killed off by Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo.
They were both well aware of that.
Meanwhile, under the combined assault of Titled Douluo Bibi Dong and the rest of the Soul Master army, the Soul Beast army was driven back, with many dead.
But the Titled Douluo had also had a hard time and expended a great deal of strength.
The ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts had even inflicted some injuries on them.
Suddenly, the Soul Beasts that had still been attacking turned around and retreated.
"Are they retreating?" Yue Guan and the other Titled Douluo breathed a sigh of relief at the sight.
With so many Soul Beasts, even Titled Douluo could be worn down to death.
Especially weaker Titled Douluo like them.
"Great, we won!!!"
Behind them, the people covered in blood and injuries, some even missing hands or feet, cheered and jumped for joy.
Their emotions were like a roller coaster, thrilling, exhilarating, and electrifying!
"Your Holiness, it seems we've beaten the Soul Beast army into fear, and they've chosen to retreat," Yue Guan said respectfully as he and Gui Mei came before Pope Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong remained silent, her expression grave as she looked into the forest. As the Rakshasa God's inheritor, she had exceptionally strong spiritual power, and she had a vague feeling that this wasn't over, that an even greater terror was coming their way.
"Your Holiness?" Yue Guan and the others were somewhat puzzled.
Only then did Bibi Dong come back to her senses. "I feel this isn't over. Their departure seems to be part of a plan. There's an even more terrifying Soul Beast in there that's about to come out."
"No matter how terrifying it is, it's just a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast. It's not as if we haven't fought one before. Besides, Your Holiness, you're already a Level 95 Titled Douluo, so there's even less reason to fear them!" Yue Guan and the others said.
"That's true. Come on, let's return to the city first."
"What a pity about those Soul Rings."
"Roar!!!!!!"
"Humans, don't even think about leaving! Die!!"
As Bibi Dong spoke, a furious roar interrupted her.
A terrifying presence also emerged from within.
"What Soul Beast could possibly give off a presence more terrifying than that hundred-thousand-year demon spider?!"
Bibi Dong and the others' pupils contracted, and their expressions changed drastically as they turned to look.
"There are more Soul Beasts?"
The Soul Master army, which had been preparing to clean up the battlefield, was also startled by the sudden turn of events.
"Two... no, four, six, seven, nine, ten presences!!"
"There are ten of them!!"
Bibi Dong was startled as well.
"What, ten?" Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and the others were shocked.
The next second, the earth shook violently as ten enormous figures emerged from the Star Dou Great Forest.
They charged straight at Bibi Dong's group at tremendous speed!
Rumble!!
A scarlet presence swept across heaven and earth, filling the sky with the stench of blood and an icy, bloodthirsty air of slaughter.
They were so fast that they appeared in an instant. Even though everyone reacted in time, they could only take up defensive positions.
And they had only seven Titled Douluo.
Ten Soul Beasts no weaker than hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts had appeared at once. Their tremendous force sent Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and the others flying.
At that moment, memories of the past surfaced in Yue Guan and Gui Mei's minds: memories of being struck by Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer.
At that moment, it was as though he had appeared once again.
"Aah!!"
With screams of agony, six figures flew backward and smashed straight through the city wall.
Bibi Dong, however, had used Immortal Body to defend herself at the critical moment, so she wasn't in as miserable a state as the others.
"So strong!"
Bibi Dong's expression shifted slightly as she looked at the ten Soul Beasts before her.
Judging by the presence they gave off, these Soul Beasts seemed to be around ninety thousand years old, not a hundred thousand. Yet their strength surpassed that of the hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast she had hunted!
They were immensely powerful!
"I never expected such terrifying Soul Beasts to be hidden among them!"
Yue Guan and the others, aching and gravely injured, got to their feet and flew out.
Fear showed on their faces as they looked at the ten ninety-thousand-year Soul Beasts before them.
"Human Titled Douluo, you're nothing special. Die!"
The ninety-five-thousand-year Suanni Lion King spoke with disdain.
The other nine ninety-thousand-year Soul Beasts were equally scornful and contemptuous.
They immediately launched an attack on Bibi Dong and the others.
"This one is stronger than the others. The two of us who are left will attack her together!"
So said the ninety-nine-thousand-year Venomous Fang Demon Beast and the ninety-nine-thousand-year Heavenly Fiend Heavenly Ant King.
"I'll deal with her. You deal with the other six."
The ninety-nine-thousand-year Soul-Devouring Ghost Beast volunteered to take on Bibi Dong.
The three beasts immediately surrounded Bibi Dong.
"All right!"
The next second, the other six Soul Beasts charged at Yue Guan and the other five!
"Damn it! Everyone, retreat! Get out of Suotuo City!!" Bibi Dong shouted.
The Soul Beast army was utterly terrified and turned to flee.
Although their numbers had gone from a densely packed horde to just ten, the difference in quality was as vast as heaven and earth!
If they stayed, they would only get in the way.
Soon, the area was cleared, and the great battle between Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo and the Soul Beasts was about to erupt!
Boom! Boom!!!!
Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and the other four were each forced elsewhere by a Soul Beast, completely separating them.
They weren't fools either. Knowing how terrifying these creatures were, they flew while dragging out the fight to wear them down. Of course, injured as they were, they certainly couldn't outlast these terrifying creatures at their peak.
Bibi Dong, however, had it worse. Surrounded and attacked by three ferocious beasts, she was at a disadvantage despite being a Level 95 Titled Douluo.
After all, these three Soul Beasts were no weaker than hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts. They simply couldn't be measured by ordinary standards of strength!
Although she was at a disadvantage, Bibi Dong was no pushover. After she activated Divine Slaughter's Domain, terrifying killing intent surged into the sky. But before the three beasts, that killing intent was nothing to worry about; after all, they had killed far too many living creatures.
Bibi Dong could barely look after herself, much less help the others.
Everyone drew the Soul Beasts away from Suotuo City.
But even so, the attacks still reached the city. Many buildings in Suotuo City collapsed, and many fleeing Soul Masters died in the intense shockwaves of the battle.
