Douluo: Wuhun Seven Killing Sword, Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven

Ning Tianchen and others' carriage was on the way to Xingnan City.

When they were halfway through the journey, the students from the Intelligence Department brought the bad news.

A conflict has broken out on the border between the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire.

The first batch of troops, 50,000 each, were sent out by both sides to fight a decisive battle on the plain outside Humen Pass.

A conflict involving a total of 100,000 people will inevitably result in countless casualties.

Yudie, who knew a lot about war, said, "When two armies of 50,000 men each fight, one side will only suffer a few thousand casualties at most."

"How is this possible?" Ning Rongrong blinked, not believing what the other party said.

Yudie smiled and said, "You don't think that both sides will fight to the last man, do you?"

"Haha, your idea only exists in theory and cannot happen in reality."

When the armies of 50,000 on both sides fought, to put it bluntly, it was just a friction between a few thousand people in the front row, while the tens of thousands of people in the back row couldn't even see the shadow of the enemy.

If the front row is defeated, the morale of the army will be in chaos, and the soldiers in the back row will not rush forward to die, but will turn around and flee in all directions.

It can be said that if you are placed at the back of the team, forget about military merit. If the team wins, you will catch up and rob them. If you lose, you will just turn around and run.

"If not, why would those soldiers who are eager for military merit be willing to rush to the front line instead of hiding in the rear to reap the harvest on the battlefield?"

Faced with Yudie's question, everyone was speechless.

Ning Tianchen waved his hand and ended the topic.

The Tianjian Sect will not be involved in the conflict between the two empires on the border. It has nothing to do with them.

As for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the intelligence sent by the Intelligence Department stated that Ning Fengzhi sent three Soul Douluo strongmen to support them, so it is unlikely that they will die directly.

……

Ten days later, their carriage arrived in front of Xingnan City.

Seeing Ning Tianchen and others getting off the carriage, the soldiers on the city wall became extremely nervous. Even a crossbowman was so nervous that he accidentally pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrow almost hit Feng Xiaotian.

Ning Tianchen reached out to catch the flying crossbow arrow, and did not blame the other party, but said: "Don't be nervous, we are not wolf bandits."

The Wolf Thief is the product of the union of soul beasts and humans. He possesses the strength of soul beasts and the command of humans.

In particular, wolf bandits would disguise themselves as humans, blend into the crowd, and kill people indiscriminately.

The Feng family's records even mentioned that some wolf thieves who were more than 30,000 years old could imitate human voices. From a distance, they looked no different from normal people, which was extremely confusing.

The leader of the group of soldiers on the city wall said with a sullen face: "Friends, since you know about the Wolf Bandits, you should know the situation here. Words alone are not enough. You must show more convincing evidence to prove that you are not Wolf Bandits."

The Wolf Thief can disguise himself as a human, but he cannot disguise his martial spirit.

Chen Huayu and Oscar took a step forward at the same time and displayed their respective martial spirits.

"I think that the wolf thief disguised as a human should not be able to show sausage and bear martial spirits, right?"

Seeing this, the soldiers on the city wall's tense nerves visibly relaxed.

Most of the soldiers who were temporarily recruited even collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.

The leader had no intention of letting them go, but asked, "Xingnan City is so dangerous, why did you come here? I see that you are all soul masters, and if you are just passing by, I suggest you leave as soon as possible and don't stay here."

This team leader is quite upright as he doesn't cheat others.

Ning Tianchen took out the memorial from the Lord of Xingnan City and threw it to the other party, "See if it's your Lord's handwriting?"

After reading the contents of the memorial, the team leader asked suspiciously, "Is he sent by His Majesty to assist us?"

As he said this, he quickly arranged: "Quick, open the city gate and let them in!"

The city gate opened, and Ning Tianchen and others' carriage drove into the city.

The leader received them personally. "I have sent someone to inform the city lord. My distinguished guests, may I take you to learn about the city's defenses first?"

Ning Tianchen waved his hand, "No need. We are not professionals in city defense deployment, you can just make the arrangements."

It is easy for something to go wrong when an amateur gives instructions to an expert.

Seeing this, the team leader couldn't help but feel relieved.

It was true that Ning Tianchen and the others were spirit masters, and their strength was even higher than his. But when it came to city defense deployment, he was the professional.

"Okay. Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhao Qijie, and I'm the defense officer of Xingnan City."

After getting to know each other, Zhao Qijie took everyone to the lounge on the city wall.

Ning Tianchen asked, "Brother Zhao, we want to know the whereabouts of the Wolf Bandits and the strength of the Wolf Bandit troops that have appeared recently."

Zhao Qijie nodded and explained the defense map to everyone one by one, "Last night, a small group of wolf bandits attacked from the east of the city. Although we repelled them, the soldiers in the city suffered heavy casualties."

Xingnan City is just a small and unknown city, not much bigger than Nottingham.

There are very few soul masters in the city, and after hearing about the appearance of the Wolf Bandits, most of the soul masters in the city fled early, leaving only ordinary people trapped in the city.

Zhao Qijie said helplessly: "The city lord and I have thought about arranging for the people in the city to evacuate, but in practice, it is simply not feasible."

There are about 10,000 residents in the city, and the line to evacuate so many people will definitely be very long.

If they were attacked by wolves on the way, the consequences would be disastrous.

Moreover, they couldn't leave. There were many villages outside the city. After learning the news of the wolf bandits' appearance, the city lord's mansion immediately arranged for the villagers to take refuge.

A few days ago, a 40,000-year-old Wolf King appeared among the Wolf Bandits.

However, this guy did not lead the wolf bandits to launch a general attack, but seemed to be here to investigate the city's defense situation.

"The Wolf Bandits must have a large force behind them. I think their leader is at least a Wolf Bandit with 60,000 years of cultivation." Ning Tianchen said in a deep voice.

Zhao Qijie's face changed drastically.

The strength of a 60,000-year-old soul beast is no less than that of a soul douluo among humans. Moreover, wolf bandits are social soul beasts. Facing a group of wolf bandits, at least a Titled Douluo can destroy a 60,000-year-old wolf king in the group.

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but ask, "Didn't the strong men from the Spirit Hall come?"

The Spirit Hall was able to stand tall on the continent and develop into a force that was not inferior to the two empires. The foundation of its establishment was to combat all evil spirits on the continent and maintain peace on the continent.

There already was a branch of the Wuhun Hall in Xingnan City. After learning about the Wolf Bandits, the head of the Wuhun Hall should have already sent the information to Wuhun City.

A voice came from the door: "In fact, the people from the Spirit Hall have already evacuated Xingnan City."

Everyone looked towards the door. The man was a young man, who was also the Lord of Xingnan City.

He bowed towards Ning Tianchen, "Senior, my name is Zhao Yi, and I am a graduate of Qibao College."

"The Spirit Hall did not take a stand in the war between the two empires, so the spirits of our border cities have been disbanded recently."

When Zhao Yi enrolled, Qibao College had just been established.

However, at that time, he was already over 25 years old, so he was not selected into the Soul Master Competition substitute list.

After training at Qibao Academy until he was thirty years old, he joined the Tiandou Empire and was assigned to Xingnan City as the city lord.

"Do you know each other?" Zhao Qijie was a little curious.

Zhao Yi introduced to everyone: "This is my third uncle. It was because of him that I decided to join the Tiandou Empire."

"Uncle San, this is Senior Ning Tianchen, who was also the captain of the champion Soul Master Competition that year."

Although Ning Tianchen's fame on the mainland is not as well-known as the mainland's top powerhouses, Ning Tianchen's outstanding performance at this year's re-election conference of the seven major sects still made many soul masters remember his name.

Zhao Qijie shook his hand with excitement, "That's great, with Sect Master Xiao Ning here, Xingnan City can be saved."

Ning Tianchen patted the back of his hand, his face as gloomy as water, and said: "Don't be too happy too soon, we don't know the situation of the wolf bandits at all. Repelling the vanguard team of the wolf bandits countless times will not solve the fundamental problem." Zhao Yi said seriously: "Senior, you guys take over the city defense, and my uncle and I will assist you."

Ning Tianchen refused again: "I have no experience in arranging city defense, so the city defense still needs you to command it."

"The eight of us will follow your arrangements."

After Zhao Qijie persuaded him for a while, Zhao Yi gave up.

There are three gates in Xingnan City. Zhao Yi divided Feng Xiaotian and others into three groups to guard different gates. Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong stayed on the city wall to support each gate at any time.

Ning Tianchen asked, "When I came here, I saw traces of battle on your city walls. I wonder if you have repaired them? Once a gap appears, the wolf bandits will be able to march straight in, and the people in the city will suffer!"

"Master Xiao Ning, we have thought about repairing the city wall." Zhao Qijie's face was bitter.

The wolf bandits only act at night, but during the day, the city defense soldiers need to rest, and the remaining manpower cannot repair the city walls at a rate far behind the speed of damage.

Coupled with the shortage of building materials in the city, repairing the city wall became a false proposition.

After Ning Tianchen learned about the situation, he said nothing more.

……

As the sky gradually darkened, Ning Tianchen and others walked to the city wall.

"The Spirit Hall's suppression of evil has weakened, and all kinds of monsters and demons have emerged."

With a sigh, he looked into the distance.

Today, under the leadership of Bibi Dong, the Spirit Hall is completely developing towards evil forces.

Without the suppression of the Spirit Hall, first the Wolf Bandits, and probably it won’t be long before the Evil Spirit Masters appear on the continent again.

Suddenly, Ning Tianchen sniffed and smelled a faint salty and fragrant scent in the evening breeze.

Zhao Yi came to his side and explained: "You can smell it, right? This is the smell of the sea."

Xingnan City is only two days away from Hanhai City. When strong winds blow at the seaside, the breath of the sea will blow here.

Ning Tianchen suddenly remembered something.

In the original time and space, the Shrek Seven Devils also encountered the Wolf Bandits on their way to Hanhai City.

At that time, Tang San and others wiped out a group of wolf bandits in a village.

According to the location, the village that Tang San and his companions arrived at should be a village near Xingnan City. However, they only wiped out a branch of the Wolf Bandits and did not come into contact with the real main force.

In the original time and space, when the Tiandou Empire was busy resisting the invasion of the Wuhun Empire, Xingnan City was very likely to have encountered a disaster.

However, since they have come here, they will never allow the wolf thieves to do whatever they want.

Putting away his thoughts, Ning Tianchen said seriously: "The Wolf Bandits are like a small human society, and they have a clear division of labor. If their main force comes to attack the city, we will not be able to resist it with the current city defense strength."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Yi and suggested, "Tomorrow, organize the soul masters in the city, including the soul masters in the army, as soon as possible."

"Soul Masters are the main force in resisting the attacks of Wolf Bandits. Ordinary people will only sacrifice in vain."

Zhao Yi's face was as gloomy as water and he sighed quietly.

When the Wolf Bandits first appeared, he formed a team of soul masters in the city.

When the soul master team fought with the wolf thieves, after seeing the brutality of the wolf thieves, the soul masters were frightened and fled from Xingnan City one after another.

Currently, almost all the soul masters in the city are in the army.

Except for Zhao Yi and his nephew who possess the combat power of Soul King, the strongest among the remaining soul masters is only at the level of Soul Venerable, and there are only two of them.

The hundred-year-old wolf bandits were difficult for ordinary great spirit masters to deal with. It could be said that they had been able to defend the city before entirely by relying on their fearless spirit of sacrifice and the sacrifice of human lives.

Knowing the situation, Ning Tianchen patted his shoulder and said, "Go ahead. You are the city lord and you must coordinate and command the city defense. Rongrong and I are on this city wall. If there are any traces of wolf bandits, we will take action immediately."

"Senior, please." Zhao Yi bowed to him solemnly, and then hurriedly ran to the command camp.

……

At night, the sky is dotted with stars and the full moon is high in the sky.

The moonlight flickered, and an evening breeze blew outside the city, causing the torches on the city walls to sway in the wind.

"It's a full moon night. It's not good."

With a sigh, Ning Tianchen fought on the city wall, fully spreading his perception to search for the traces of the wolf thieves outside the city.

As time passed, it was late at night.

Ning Rongrong rubbed her stomach, took out two pieces of dried meat from the soul guide, and handed one of them to Ning Tianchen, "Brother Tianchen, do you want to fill your stomach?"

Ning Tianchen had no appetite and shook his head, "No need. We brought a lot of dried meat, let's share some with the soldiers."

Ordinary people would die in a fight with wolf bandits. This piece of dried meat might be the last meal for the soldiers.

The entire Xingnan City cannot be defended by the city defense soldiers alone. Most of the soldiers on the city walls are civilians who were temporarily recruited.

Due to the shortage of equipment, these civilians did not wear armor, and even on average only one spear per three people. Most people were holding farm tools.

Before setting off, Ning Tianchen brought a lot of hidden weapons from the warehouse of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

But compared with the number of wolf bandits, these hidden weapons seem to be inadequate.

About an incense stick of time later, the soldiers all ate the dried meat, and Ning Tianchen continued to use his perception to search for the wolf thieves.

After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes.

"coming!"

In his perception, the number of this group of wolf thieves was not large, but they were scattered in different directions.

In an instant, the war broke out.

The soldiers did not have time to taste the deliciousness of the dried meat. They just drank some water and swallowed it whole.

"Crossbowmen, get ready."

The squad leader shouted, the crossbows on the city wall were loaded, and the crossbowmen were ready to fire.

Outside the city, the wolf thieves who were leading the charge saw that their whereabouts were exposed, bared their sharp fangs, and rushed towards the city wall like crazy.

Ning Tianchen took out the flare he had prepared in advance from his soul guide.

After lighting it with a tinder, throw it into the air.

The sky above the battlefield was suddenly lit up.

The soldiers had no time to think, as they saw the wolf bandit clearly exposed in their sight, and they opened fire with their bows and crossbows.

The Wolf Thief who had practiced for a hundred years and rushed to the strongest side died in disgrace when faced with a saturation attack.

The thousand-year-old soul beast at the rear followed closely behind and launched an even more fierce charge.

The Panlong Seven Killing Sword appeared in Ning Tianchen's hand. He used his right hand as a sword finger to control the Seven Killing Sword to reap the lives of the Millennium Wolf Thieves.

"You guys suppress them from a distance, and I'll take care of the nearby wolf bandits."

As a Soul Douluo, it is not easy for him to eliminate thousand-year-old soul beasts.

At the same time, the city wall guarded by Feng Xiaotian and others was also attacked by wolf bandits.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night! (End of this chapter)
