Douluo: Evolution from the Human-Faced Demon Spider

Chapter 154 Headhunting Operation
With the entry of the Xing Luo Empire into the war, the Spirit Hall, which originally had a considerable advantage over the Tian Dou Empire, was forced to divide its forces, and the combat power of the two sides gradually became balanced.

Since the war started more than a year earlier than the Spirit Hall had planned, they had not had time to make a lot of preparations, the Soul Hunting Operation could not be launched, and the core combat power of the two empires was well preserved, which made it very difficult for the Spirit Hall to fight.

At the same time, the Spirit Hall's most advantageous upper-level combat force was greatly reduced in numbers due to the appearance of Fang Chang, and was thus greatly narrowed by the two empires.

Now, not only do they have to keep a close eye on the masters from the two empires and the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect that supports them, but they also have to watch out for the elusive Spider God Messenger and the Haotian Sect that has always been hanging over their heads.

Facing so many forces at the same time, even the Spirit Hall is now short of manpower.

The Haotian Sect had been in retreat for more than a decade, but now it has reappeared in people's sight. Especially after the map appeared, before they could move again, they were already targeted by the Spirit Hall.

It was only because the war between the two empires occurred too suddenly that the Spirit Hall did not have time to deal with them.

Within the Haotian Sect, the humiliation of being in seclusion for more than a decade, coupled with the disappearance of Tang Yuehua, also gave rise to many voices in favor of war.

If the Haotian Sect also joins the battle at this time, the Spirit Hall will definitely be put in a passive position.

Just as the situation on the mainland was becoming increasingly tense, Fang Chang had already started his next plan - a headhunting operation.

This is essentially to take advantage of the war between the Spirit Hall and the two empires to reduce the combat power of both sides as much as possible.

With Fang Chang's current strength, it is not a big problem to deal with ordinary Titled Douluo, but it is difficult to kill them silently.

However, it is not difficult for him to kill strong men at the level of Soul Sage and Soul Douluo, and they are also considered to be the top combat forces among all forces.

Based on this thinking, Fang Chang prioritized his targets on these people, especially those soul masters who tended to be auxiliary spirit masters and those who possessed some status.

Xingluo Empire, Zhu Family.

The first target chosen by Fang Chang was here. The Zhu family was Zhu Zhuqing’s family, and they had a close relationship with the Xing Luo Empire.

Not only have all the empresses of the Xing Luo Empire come from the Zhu family, but almost every generation of both families has someone who has mastered the martial soul fusion skill "Netherworld White Tiger", which can be said to be an important trump card of the Xing Luo Empire.

Because of this relationship, if the Zhu family were to be murdered, the royal family of the Xingluo Empire would have to step in.

After two days of observation by Fang Chang, it was discovered that there were no titled Douluo within the Zhu family. The strongest were only two Soul Douluos, and their levels were not very high.

When night fell, Fang Chang activated his "stealth" skill and quietly sneaked into the Zhu family, and directly found the two Soul Douluo-level powerhouses in their family.

The two were ambushed and killed one after another by Fang Chang without any resistance. After that, he also killed the Soul Saint-level strongmen in the Zhu family, and then left with satisfaction.

The next day, there was chaos in the capital of the Xingluo Empire. News of the Zhu family tragedy spread. A total of thirteen people, including the current head of the Zhu family, were assassinated overnight.

After the incident, the Emperor of the Xing Luo Empire personally led people to the Zhu family to investigate, but found no traces.

With such strength and such clean actions, almost everyone thought of the Spirit Hall first. If we add that the two sides had just started a war, this speculation would be more true.

In such an environment, although the royal family of the Xing Luo Empire did not say it explicitly, it greatly increased the military forces sent to the border, and the war between them and the Spirit Hall escalated again.

Next, Fang Chang came to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus clan. As the most miserable of the three clans in the original novel, they should have been almost wiped out in the Soul Hunting Operation.

But because of Fang Chang's actions, the war between the Spirit Hall and the two empires was brought forward, and the Soul Hunting Conference had not yet begun, so they were able to survive.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family has only one Titled Douluo-level strongman, and that is their patriarch, Yu Yuanzhen.

However, Fang Chang's plan this time was not him, but other masters in their clan.

After the tragedy at Shrek Academy, although the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family did not directly participate in the war with the Spirit Hall, they still secretly sent some personnel to assist the Tiandou Empire.

And within the clan, their defenses were greatly strengthened, and even Fang Chang found it difficult to take action.

However, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus clan was located next to a large river, and they had to take a boat or enter from the air to get in and out. This made them focus their attention mainly on the water and the sky, and they were much more relaxed about the underwater.

But Fang Chang himself has the skill of "breathing in water" and has stayed in the sea for three years. Therefore, after figuring out this situation, the defense of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family is useless to him.

Fang Chang quickly sneaked into the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family along the water, but after all, they were also the overlords of a region, and Fang Chang was worried that his identity would be exposed, so he did not dare to be too arrogant.

On the first night, he simply assassinated three lone Soul Saints quietly, then returned to the water again and found a hidden cave to hide in.

When the news came out, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family immediately raised their defenses by several levels again, and carefully searched all places in the family where the enemy might be hiding, but they still did not find any trace of the enemy.

The next night, Fang Chang went out again. This time he sneak-attacked two Soul Douluos, then triggered the trap set by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family and quickly ran away.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family was in a panic for a while. Even the Soul Douluo-level strongmen were killed by silent sneak attacks. This shows that the enemy's strength is at least Titled Douluo.

Moreover, he is one of the Titled Douluo who is very good at lurking and launching sneak attacks. No one can sleep well when an assassin of this level is wandering around.

This time, even the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan, Yu Yuanzhen, hid in the dark and waited for the hidden enemy to appear.

But he didn't know whether the enemy had left or discovered him. There was no bloodshed in the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family for two consecutive days, so Yu Yuanzhen quietly relaxed his vigilance.

But then, on the fifth night, Fang Chang took action again, and this time his target was directly locked on Yu Yuanzhen.

This time he did not choose to fight Yu Yuanzhen head-on, but quietly came to the opposite side of his room, used the "Purple Flame" skill from a distance towards his room, and then turned around and ran away.

Yu Yuanzhen sensed the attack and woke up instantly. He chased after the person who came and activated his martial soul avatar immediately.

The people in the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family saw the patriarch, who was transformed into a Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, chasing a human-shaped black shadow rushing out of the clan. At that moment, most of the masters in the clan followed Yu Yuanzhen and attacked in an attempt to stop the patriarch.

But Fang Chang had already calculated the escape route, and his speed was not inferior to Yu Yuanzhen. After a chase, Fang Chang suddenly dived into the water and quickly disappeared into the water.

When Yu Yuanzhen and other masters of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family arrived, they could only sigh as they looked at the river that was gradually calming down.

At this moment, there was movement in the family again.

The three humanoid "shadow clones" that Fang Chang left in the dark before he escaped suddenly appeared when the masters of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family were chasing him.

After they killed more than a dozen members of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family in succession, they dissipated under the attacks of other people, leaving only a few Spirit Hall tokens on their bodies.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, which had never participated in the battles on the mainland, did something unusual this time. The clan leader, Yu Yuanzhen, personally led his men to the front line to support the Tiandou Empire.

After the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, Fang Chang turned his attention to the four subordinate sects of the former Haotian Sect, which were the four single-attribute sects that later joined the Tang Sect.
