#243 - Close the door and beat the dog
With the detonation of the landmines, thousands of soul masters were injured, and the remaining soul masters dared not advance any further, unsure if there were more landmines ahead.
“Fifth Soul Skill: Ghost Shadow Earth Altar Hand!”
Suddenly, Ghost Douluo gathered his soul power and struck out fiercely. Countless black hands burst from the ground, crushing all the landmines in front, creating a continuous series of violent explosions.
“Damn it! It's those annoying landmines again!”
Moon Guan's expression was twisted, his eyes fierce as he spat. Remembering how he almost had a leg blown off by a landmine, his heart was filled with resentment.
“Old Ghost, leave the aerial bombs to me. You clear the landmines buried below. Everyone else, retreat at full speed. This place is not suitable for a prolonged stay!”
Niu Gao, the head of the Royal Clan, couldn't help but say. He was now an eighty-first level pure defense-type Battle Soul Douluo, his defense comparable to a Titled Douluo. When he activated his Martial Soul Avatar, he was virtually impregnable.
For this expedition, Dai Pojun had brought the heads of the Agile Clan, the Royal Clan, and the Breaking Clan.
Seeing that the Spirit Hall's soul master forces were about to break out of the valley, Niu Gao quickly reminded him.
However, Lin Qiuyang remained unhurried, “Don't worry, they won't be leaving today!”
Bang bang bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of intensive explosions suddenly echoed from the distant valley, deafening and instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Just as the soul master forces were about to rush out of the valley, explosions suddenly erupted on both sides of the valley, the powerful impact shattering the rock walls on both sides!
In an instant, countless rubble fell from the sky, raining down heavily on the soul master forces.
Due to the suddenness of the event, by the time the soul masters realized there were more traps, stone blocks the size of stools had already crashed down on their heads. With a loud bang, those non-combat soul masters, such as support-type and healing-type soul masters, were directly crushed into mincemeat by the boulders.
Although the combat-type soul masters activated their soul skills to defend themselves at the first moment, there were still significant casualties.
To make matters worse, after the rock walls shattered, the sky full of rubble formed a low mountain, blocking the soul master forces' path and completely sealing them in the valley.
It turned out that Lin Qiuyang had anticipated that the Spirit Hall's soul master forces, when ambushed in the valley, would inevitably launch a full-scale assault to break out of the valley as quickly as possible.
Therefore, Lin Qiuyang not only ordered people to set up a minefield, but also buried a large amount of high explosives on the cliffs on both sides of the valley exit, and sent people to guard them twenty-four hours a day.
Once the people from Spirit Hall were about to rush out of the valley, they would detonate the explosives, completely sealing off their escape route, and finally, close the door and beat the dog.
“Soldiers, attack the enemy's living forces with all your strength! Whoever kills a soul master will be rewarded with one hundred gold soul coins! Open fire with everything we have! Fire all the cannons!”
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
The soldiers roared to the sky, and the artillerymen quickly adjusted the angle of the cannons, moving them away from the Titled Douluos such as Yue Guan and Gui Mei, and instead aimed the cannons at the weaker soul masters, finally opening fire with all their might.
Bang bang bang!
For a time, the sounds of guns and cannons were incessant. The artillerymen fired wildly, while the other ordinary soldiers lit grenades and threw them down in droves.
“Prepare the fire oil!”
Lin Qiuyang shouted loudly, and then the men on both sides of the valley brought out more than twenty large vats filled with heated fire oil.
“Release!”
At Lin Qiuyang's command, all the oil vats fell from the sky one after another. With a series of crisp “bang bang bang” sounds, the vats shattered, and the scorching fire oil splattered on the bodies of the Spirit Hall soul masters, scalding them and causing them to scream.
At the same time, the soldiers above the valley continued to drop incendiary bombs, and the resulting flames ignited the fire oil. Now, the Spirit Hall soul masters were completely ignited, becoming human-shaped fireballs, and finally burned to ashes in the raging fire.
Only some defense-type soul masters and water-attribute and ice-attribute soul masters extinguished the flames on their bodies, thus escaping unharmed.
Even so, more than two thousand soul masters still died tragically in the bombing of the incendiary bombs and the scorching of the fire oil.
Originally, there were more than four thousand soul masters, but at this moment, after being ambushed by Lin Qiuyang and others, only about one thousand five hundred people remained.
It was hard to imagine that the army of ten thousand soul masters, which had been assembled more than half a month ago, had more than four-fifths of its members buried in foreign lands after only half a month, demonstrating the cruelty and tragedy of war.
Although the Spirit Hall soul masters looked very pitiful, the slaughter continued.
“Damn it! It seems that Lin Qiuyang, that old bastard, wants to wipe us all out here!” Yue Guan said angrily. His soul power had not fully recovered, and now resisting the bombing of these cannons was making him feel a lot of pressure.
“Hmph, Lin Qiuyang, isn't he just a Soul Douluo? Watch me take his dog life!” As he spoke, Spirit Douluo opened his Wings of Raging Fire and soared into the sky!
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!
“Spirit! Be careful!” Demon Bear Douluo couldn't help but remind him.
In just an instant, accompanied by a gust of wind whistling, Spirit Douluo Bi, who had activated his Martial Soul Avatar and transformed into a Raging Fire Spirit Vulture, appeared in front of Lin Qiuyang.
“Lin Qiuyang, today is your death date!”
Saying that, she looked at Niu Gao and Yang Wudi beside her, her eyes filled with killing intent, and said angrily: "I didn't expect the heads of the Breaking Clan and the Royal Clan to come too, in that case, then you will all die together!"
“That's not necessarily true!”
Lin Qiuyang suddenly erupted, releasing the Black Iron Sword Martial Soul. Two yellow, two purple, and five black, nine soul rings appeared in sequence, floating under his feet, and the aura belonging to a Titled Douluo swept across the entire battlefield!
Holding the Black Iron Sword in his hand, he pointed the sword at the Spirit Vulture Douluo in the sky, his lips slightly raised, and he sneered: "Elder Spirit Vulture, today you may not be able to take my life!"
Looking at the nine soul rings under Lin Qiuyang's feet, Spirit Vulture Douluo instantly dilated his pupils, his spirits lifted, and his face was full of disbelief, and he said in surprise: "You, you have become a Titled Douluo?"
“That's right, thanks to the help of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I am already a Titled Douluo. Elder Spirit Vulture, not only will I not die today, but this place will also become your burial ground!”
“Sixth Soul Skill: Blade Light Sword Shadow!”
As the sixth soul ring flickered, countless phantoms of the Black Iron Sword appeared behind Lin Qiuyang. Under Lin Qiuyang's control, the phantoms of the Black Iron Sword shot towards the Spirit Vulture Douluo!
“Damn it!”
“Third Soul Skill: Flame Amplification!”
“Fourth Soul Skill: Heat Wave滔天!”
Spirit Vulture Douluo is worthy of being an old Titled Douluo, and can activate two soul skills at the same time. After the amplification of the third soul skill, the heat wave sweeping around is even more terrifying!
