Douluo Dalu: Tiger Roars in the Universe

Chapter 227: Chase, Fighting the Holy Dragon

The vast majority of sect forces on Douluo Continent are established in cities, and only a very small number are established in some dangerous place in the wild, forming their own independent area.

The Holy Dragon Sect, the leader of the four lower sects, is no exception. The entire sect is located in a main city within the Xing Luo Empire. So when the Xing Luo Empire decides to take action against it, the situation of the Holy Dragon Sect will become very passive. As long as it is blocked in the city, it will have nowhere to escape.

However, perhaps the intention of the Star Luo Empire was too obvious, which made the Holy Dragon Sect feel something was wrong. When the 5,000 soul masters sent by the Star Luo Empire rushed to the main city where the Holy Dragon Sect was located, Dai Yaochen, the team leader, suddenly received a message.

Before they arrived, the Holy Dragon Sect had already rushed out of the main city and fled all the way to the north.

This operation was decisive. If the Holy Dragon Sect could quickly rush northward out of the border of the Star Luo Empire, then they would have a chance of survival. However, Dai Yaochen would not let this happen.

Among the strong men of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Yaochen's cheap father, as the emperor, cannot run around casually, and the same goes for the Star Luo ancestor. After having already torn his relations with the Spirit Hall, he, as the pillar of the Star Luo Empire, should not move lightly. It is not worth it for him to take action personally to deal with a sect that does not even have a Titled Douluo.

Therefore, this time the Xing Luo Empire's operation to encircle and suppress the Holy Dragon Sect was led by Dai Yaochen. With Dai Yaochen's strength, he is now capable of acting on his own, so there is no need to worry too much about sending him out to carry out such a mission.

And it's not just Dai Yaochen, Dugu Bo is also with Dai Yaochen.

A powerful weapon like Dugu Bo can play a very important role in this kind of encirclement and suppression operation. It can greatly reduce our own losses. There is absolutely no reason not to bring him along.

In fact, if the original plan had been followed, the 5,000 soul masters they brought with them would only have been responsible for surrounding the disciples of the Holy Dragon Sect, and the actual massacre could have been left to Dugu Bo. However, the Holy Dragon Sect's decisive escape completely ruined the original plan.

The plan has changed. What they have to do now is to pursue the Holy Dragon Sect that is fleeing all the way to the north. They must intercept them all and kill them within the territory of the Star Luo Empire. If they are allowed to escape and be reincorporated into the Spirit Hall, it will only bring greater losses to the Star Luo Empire in the future.

As for the pursuit, it was absolutely necessary, so after Dai Yaochen learned about the escape of the Holy Dragon Sect, he immediately selected the fastest 1,000 people from the 5,000 soul masters he led as the advance team. Under the leadership of himself and Dugu Bo, they chased after them and first intercepted the Holy Dragon Sect who were heading north and asked them to become their disciples.

As for the remaining 4,000 people, they can stay behind and wait for the advance troops to intercept the Holy Dragon Sect before catching up and killing them together.

With the strategy decided, Dai Yaochen naturally took action immediately, leading a thousand faster soul masters to chase in the direction of the Holy Dragon Sect's escape.

It’s interesting to say that when Dai Yaochen was in the Tiandou Empire before, he evacuated the country together with the people from the two major sects. Now that times have changed, he has become the one being pursued.

When they evacuated the Tiandou Empire before, they did not pursue because they had already defeated two waves of encirclement and suppression forces from the Spirit Hall, and the Spirit Hall could not mobilize so many people in a short period of time, so they evacuated the Tiandou Empire unhindered.

The current Holy Dragon Sect is somewhat similar to Dai Yaochen and his group back then, but in the final analysis there are still essential differences.

The Holy Dragon Sect did not defeat Dai Yaochen and his men. Under such circumstances, it was basically impossible to escape from the Star Luo Empire while being pursued by Dai Yaochen and his men.

Although the Holy Dragon Sect retreated decisively and was not directly surrounded and killed in the city, this was not enough.

Because the entire sect evacuated together, and the strength of their sect disciples varied, so the speed was inevitably slowed down, and this was fatal.

Dai Yaochen led the advance team that was good at speed and chased all the way, and soon caught up with the people of the Holy Dragon Sect halfway.

It has to be said that as the leader of the four lower sects, the Holy Dragon Sect is still very powerful. The total number of soul masters in the entire sect is as many as 1,200, which is not much different from the previous Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect. After the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect experienced an attack, the number of soul masters is almost the same.

In addition to the number of soul masters, the Holy Dragon Sect is also worth seeing in terms of its strong men. Although the Holy Dragon Sect does not have a Titled Douluo, Tuoba Xi, as the sect leader, has reached the peak of level 89, which is similar to Yu Luomian, the number two figure of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect. Both of them are the kind of people who are just one step away from breaking through to the Titled Douluo realm. Especially in the original work, Tuoba Xi truly became a Titled Douluo with the help of the Spirit Hall.

At this time, the Holy Dragon Sect's team was inevitably caught up by the Xing Luo Empire's troops, and some commotion inevitably occurred. However, this commotion was soon quelled because they found that there didn't seem to be many people catching up.

Dai Yaochen's advance team only had a thousand people, which was indeed not as many as the Holy Dragon Sect's number. In order to ensure that they could catch up, most of the thousand people Dai Yaochen brought were agile attack type, unlike the Holy Dragon Sect, whose descendants possessed the White-Armored Earth Dragon martial spirit, which were all strong attack type with both offensive and defensive capabilities. So although they caught up, strictly speaking, they did not pose much threat to the Holy Dragon Sect's troops.

Fortunately, Dai Yaochen and his men did not need to destroy the Holy Dragon Sect with just these thousand people. They only needed to delay the Holy Dragon Sect temporarily and tie down its troops until the main force caught up. This was not a particularly difficult task for them.

However, the Holy Dragon Sect probably understood the current situation and knew that there was a large force from the Star Luo Empire behind them. Once the large force from the Star Luo Empire caught up with them, they would really have no way out, so they absolutely could not be held back here.

Realizing this, the Holy Dragon Sect completely exploded. Under the leadership of Sect Master Tuoba Xi, they launched a fierce attack on the intercepting Xingluo Empire advance team.

With the Holy Dragon Sect fighting desperately, the Xing Luo Empire's advance team of a thousand people might not be able to intercept them perfectly. It is not impossible that the Holy Dragon Sect might break out by accident.

This is the time when Dai Yaochen and Dugu Bo must stand up.

At the middle and low end level, the Xing Luo Empire's advance team of a thousand people is obviously no match for the 1,200 disciples of the Holy Dragon Sect. So in terms of the strong, Dai Yaochen and Dugu Bo must set an example and blunt their aggressive edge.
