#73 - Severe damage to Title Douluo

Just as Ghost planned to attack, countless black-clad assassins and heavily armored soldiers arrived in time to protect Yang Wudi.

"Guild Master Yang, are you alright?"

"Guild Master Yang, leave quickly, we'll handle this!"

"I'm fine!" Yang Wudi shook his head, pointing at Ghost and Chrysanthemum Guan, shouting, "They are Ghost and Yue Guan from the Spirit Hall, capture them for me!"

Yang Wudi recognized Ghost; the person next to him must be Chrysanthemum Guan. The two were inseparable partners.

"What? Titled Douluo?"

The captain of the black-clad assassins exclaimed. He was also a Soul Master and naturally knew that both were Titled Douluo. However, as an assassin, he didn't show the slightest fear.

He silently lit a firework. The bright red firework shot into the sky, bursting into light!

This was a unique warning signal of the Star Luo Empire. Once the firework was seen, it meant enemies had appeared. All the Imperial Guards in Star Luo City would come to support them.

The fireworks were divided into five colors: white, yellow, purple, dark purple, and red, corresponding to the five levels of Soul Beasts. However, they couldn't create black fireworks, so they used dark purple.

The five colors also corresponded to the ten ranks of Soul Masters. The appearance of red fireworks meant that Soul Douluo or Titled Douluo-level enemies had invaded Star Luo City, requiring everyone to be on alert.

As the red fireworks continued to bloom above the Alchemist Association, more and more soldiers quickly rushed to the Alchemist Association.

Listening to the roar of cavalry on the streets and the neighing of warhorses, Yang Wudi smiled slightly and shouted loudly, "Ghost, Chrysanthemum Guan, you can't escape anymore, why not surrender!"

Seeing Chrysanthemum Guan's nine Soul Rings, many heavily armored soldiers swallowed, cold sweat streaming down their foreheads, their backs soaked with sweat, not daring to move, fearing a fatal blow.

However, this had no effect on the black-clad assassins. They were assassins and had long disregarded life and death.

"Brothers, don't be afraid! We've already sent a firework signal, His Majesty the Emperor will be here soon! Now is the time to establish merit!"

"Are kings and generals born with blue blood!"

"Brothers, kill!"

With that, several black-clad assassins drew their swords and charged towards Chrysanthemum Guan and Ghost.

Sometimes people are strange. In battle, if only oneself dies, one might be afraid, but if only oneself remains, then one will be fearless!

You only need to take the first step, and the rest is up to adrenaline.

As the black-clad assassins stepped forward to lead the charge, the heavily armored soldiers behind them seemed to be injected with chicken blood, rushing towards Ghost and Chrysanthemum Guan without regard for their lives.

To live in death, at this moment, they were undoubtedly the bravest soldiers. Even gods couldn't stop their advancing footsteps and will!

"Hmph, courting death! Fifth Soul Skill: Ghost Shadow Nether Hand!"

"Sixth Soul Skill: Golden Stamen Overflowing Rosy Clouds!"

Seeing hundreds of people charging, Chrysanthemum Guan and Ghost were also shocked, not expecting these people to be so unafraid of death, but they still used their respective large-scale attacks.

Countless ghost hands and golden beams shot towards the black-clad assassins and heavily armored soldiers, the beams piercing their chests, the ghost hands crushing their bones, but those behind them followed one after another!

Several black-clad assassins detoured behind Ghost and thrust their swords at him, but a sharp flying knife suddenly flew from the side, sealing their throats with one strike! They didn't even have time to ignite the explosives on their bodies.

"Fifth Soul Skill: Cold Bloom Gathering!"

At this moment, the feet of the two were already covered with corpses.

"Brothers, cover Guild Master Yang's retreat, our brothers are still outside." The assassin captain shouted. The captain of the heavily armored soldiers had already died in battle, and now, besides Yang Wudi, he was the highest in rank.

Hearing his order, everyone retreated, but the assassin captain stayed behind, holding a torch and a jar of strong liquor.

As an assassin, drinking was forbidden, so every time he passed a wine shop, he would buy some wine until he and his brothers could get drunk during rest.

After everyone had retreated, he charged towards Chrysanthemum Guan and Ghost with his own strength, throwing the strong liquor in his hand at them.

"Hmph! Foolish!" Chrysanthemum Guan sneered, "You think you can smash us to death with a jar of wine?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the flying knife, under his control, shattered the wine jar, while simultaneously piercing the assassin captain's body.

The wine jar shattered, the strong liquor poured out, mixing with blood and staining the ground red, and the assassin captain's body slowly fell.

At the moment the torch landed, it instantly ignited the strong liquor on the ground, as well as hundreds of pounds of high explosives carried on the corpses of dozens of black-clad assassins.

Boom boom boom!

Hundreds of pounds of high explosives instantly exploded, and the violent explosions rose into the sky, turning into a sea of fire that engulfed Ghost and the other.

The entire Alchemist Association was turned into a sea of fire in the explosion, but fortunately, the important things were all in Yang Wudi's Soul Tool.

"Cough cough cough…"

Just then, a black shadow suddenly rushed out of the sea of fire, it was Ghost. When the assassin captain threw the strong liquor at them, he sensed something was wrong, but before he could remind Chrysanthemum Guan, the torch ignited the explosives.

Before being engulfed by the sea of fire, Ghost timely erupted his Soul Power, using Soul Power to resist the explosion.

But Chrysanthemum Guan wasn't so lucky. In the explosion just now, even with Ghost's help to resist the damage, he still suffered serious injuries, his clothes torn, revealing his snow-white skin.

And at this time, in front of the two, were tens of thousands of iron cavalry from the Star Luo Empire!

"Since you're here, make yourselves at home; since the two of you have come, let my wife and I do our best to be good hosts."

A Netherwhite Tiger appeared in front of Ghost and the other, it was Dai Tianxing and his wife.

"You! Dai Tianxing, you two have actually become Titled Douluo?"

Ghost was extremely shocked. The Netherwhite Tiger in front of him exuded a pressure comparable to a level ninety-eight Super Douluo. Obviously, the Soul Power of the two who used the Spirit Fusion Skill had exceeded Titled Douluo.

"Ghost Douluo indeed has good eyesight, since you two are here? Why rush to leave?"

"Cough cough, Old Ghost, you're fast, you go first! I'll hold them back!"

With that, Yue Guan turned sideways and rushed out. In order to cover Ghost's retreat, he used his Ninth Soul Skill against the Netherwhite Tiger.

"Ninth Soul Skill: Chrysanthemum Remains, Scars the Land, Flowers Fall, Hearts Break!"

In an instant, countless flying knives transformed into a dragon-shaped storm and shot towards Dai Tianxing and the tens of thousands of Star Luo cavalry behind him.

"Chrysanthemum Guan!"

"Old Ghost, go! Tell His Majesty the Pope about the situation here! Let His Majesty the Pope come to save me!"

"…"

Ghost hardened his heart and left, disappearing in an instant.

At this time, Dai Tianxing and Zhu Lingyun, transformed into the Netherwhite Tiger, also blocked the dragon-shaped storm. The two sides competed with Soul Power, but Yue Guan, who was seriously injured, had already fallen into a disadvantage.
