Douluo: Ant Power Breaks the Sky

Bibi Dong stared at Shi Yi, her eyes carrying a rare seriousness and deep meaning: "Xiao Yi, you should know what Aunt Dong wants to tell you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi shook his head in confusion, with a hint of innocence in his tone: "This... Xiao Yi really doesn't know."

Bibi Dong narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, with a hint of reproach in her tone: "With your mental strength, it is impossible that you can't feel Nana's eyes. Are you pretending to be confused?"

Shi Yi looked helpless and said with a bitter smile: "Aunt Dong, please don't make it difficult for me. Think about it, Xue'er already blames Nana for taking away your motherly love. If I interfere again, won't Xue'er kill me with the Holy Angel Sword?"

Bibi Dong was silent for a moment, with a complicated look in her eyes. She suddenly sighed, with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "But you wouldn't do it so hard, would you? Nana is also sincere to you."

Shi Yi looked calm and said slowly, "Aunt Dong, you are an experienced person. Love is a complicated matter. The more drastic you are now, the better it will be for her in the future. A short pain is worse than a long one. I don't want her to get deeper into trouble."

Bibi Dong heard this, and a trace of reminiscence appeared in her eyes, as if she remembered her past. She shook her head, with a hint of emotion in her tone: "To be honest, I was very optimistic about you and Nana at the beginning, otherwise I would not have let you accompany Nana to the Slaughter City for training. But now that things have developed to this point, I, as a teacher, don't know what to do."

Shi Yi lowered his head slightly, with a hint of apology in his tone: "Aunt Dong, love can't be forced. Nana is a good girl, but we are not suitable for each other."

Bibi Dong looked at Shi Yi, her eyes were full of scrutiny and helplessness. She sighed and waved her hand, "Forget it, I won't interfere too much in the affairs of you young people. But Nana...if you have the chance in the future, you should take better care of her."

Shi Yi nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Aunt Dong, I will. Even if I can't respond to her feelings, I will do my best to protect her as a friend."

Three days later, Tianling Mountains.

Shi Yi took Shui Bing'er and Zhu Zhuqing to look down from the sky. From afar, they saw a million-strong army on the plain like a dark cloud covering the city, blocking out the sun and the sky. Even from the air, the mighty army formation was still shocking, as if there was only this steel torrent between heaven and earth.

The army was crowded with people, flags fluttering, and in good order. The square formation of tens of thousands of people slowly advanced on the vast plain, like an endless steel dragon, majestic and daunting.

At the front was a cavalry corps, both men and horses covered in thick armor. The armor shone coldly in the sun, and the horses' hooves stomped the ground, shaking the earth slightly. On both sides were heavy infantry corps composed entirely of strong soldiers. They marched in unison, and the collision of armor made a dull sound, like a moving steel wall. In the center was the largest infantry army, with densely packed soldiers surging like ants, but not at all chaotic, but exuding a solemn and murderous aura.

At least six light cavalry regiments were galloping back and forth on the periphery of the army, responsible for reconnaissance, scouting, and guarding the center. Their figures were as swift as the wind, and the sound of horse hooves and trumpets intertwined.

Behind the army was a huge food and fodder unit. There was an endless stream of convoys, loaded with food and military supplies, which were continuously transported to the front line. As the saying goes, "before the troops move, the food and fodder must go first." The size of this logistics unit was even as large as the front-line army, which was enough to show how well prepared they were for this war.

Shi Yi stared at the army formation below, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes: "A million-strong army is indeed not to be underestimated."

Shui Bing'er nodded, with a hint of worry in her tone: "Tian Dou and the sect spirit masters have joined forces, and they are obviously determined to fight the Wuhun Empire. This war may be more tragic than we imagined."

Shi Yi took a deep breath, a trace of pity flashed across his eyes, and he sighed softly, "Let's go."

At the same time, Jialing Guanzhong.

Bibi Dong stood on the high platform, her eyes sternly scanning the soul master army below. Behind her, the seven sect leaders and many bishop-level soul masters stood solemnly, the atmosphere was solemn and murderous.

"Everyone, Tiandou and Xingluo have declared war on our Wuhun Empire. This war concerns the survival of the empire and cannot be lost!" Bibi Dong's voice was as cold as ice, chilling.

The crowd below responded in unison: "We are willing to die for His Holiness the Pope!"

Bibi Dong nodded, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes: "Listen to my orders, all the people of the Wuhun Empire! Pass on my order, prepare for battle! In this battle, we will make sure that Tiandou and Xingluo will never return!"

"Yes!" everyone answered in unison, their voices shaking the earth.

Hearing so many people shouting, even a calm man like Shi Yi couldn't help but get his blood boiling.

"The Wuhun Empire will win!" Bibi Dong's shout was filled with incomparably powerful mental power. The roar resounded in every corner of Jialing Pass, and the momentum of the army suddenly rose to an unprecedented height.

After the pre-war mobilization was completed, Shi Yi brought the two of them and followed Bibi Dong to a meeting hall in Jialing Pass.

Bibi Dong held the scepter in her hand and sat on the main seat. She tapped the ground with the scepter, making a crisp sound, and said slowly, "Everyone, now that the war is about to begin, please feel free to speak up if you have any good ideas."

"Your Holiness." The leader of the Fengjian Sect, one of the seven leaders, spoke first, his voice steady and powerful, "Although the Tiandou and Xingluo coalition forces are large in number, most of them are ordinary soldiers, and the number of soul masters is far less than that of our Wuhun Empire. We should concentrate our elite soul masters and defeat their core forces with the force of thunder, causing chaos in their army."

Bibi Dong nodded slightly and turned her gaze to the Ghost Douluo Gui Mei beside her: "Elder Ghost, what is your opinion?"

The ghost smiled coldly, his voice as erratic as a ghost: "Master Fengjian is right. In addition, I suggest sending an elite team to sneak into the enemy's rear and destroy their food and grass supplies. Once the food and grass are cut off, the million-strong army will collapse without a fight."

Bibi Dong's eyes flashed with approval, and then she looked at Shi Yi: "Xiao Yi, what about you?"

Shi Yi stepped forward and said respectfully, "Aunt Dong, I think what Elder Ghost said makes a lot of sense. The advantage of the Wuhun Empire lies in the large number of high-level spirit masters. As long as we can destroy the opponent's logistics, a million-strong army can collapse in an instant. We should also send high-level spirit masters to guarantee logistics to prevent surprise attacks from the opponent."

Bibi Dong nodded with satisfaction, her eyes piercing as she scanned the crowd: "Everything you said makes sense. Pass on my order, from now on, the entire army will enter the highest combat readiness state and prepare to face the enemy head-on. Ghost Elder, you select an elite team to carry out the sabotage mission. Xiao Yi, Bing'er, the two of you, act according to the battle situation and be sure to respond flexibly."

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, their voices echoing in the conference room like thunder, and then they all took orders and left.

After everyone left, Bibi Dong sat alone in the meeting room, looking particularly majestic. Her eyes were deep, as if she had penetrated time and space and looked into the distance. She whispered to herself, her voice was low, but it was full of unquestionable firmness: "Tiandou, Xingluo, do you think you can shake my Wuhun Empire by joining forces? This war is destined to be the prelude to my Wuhun Empire unifying the continent!"

At the same time, Shi Yi, Shui Bing'er and Zhu Zhuqing rode the Ice Phoenix into the sky, rushing towards the direction of the Tiandou army. The Ice Phoenix spread its wings, and the cold wind was biting. The three of them stood on it, looking down at the battlefield below with solemn eyes.

In the air, Shi Yi soon saw the supply line of the Tiandou army. It was a long snake-like team, stretching for dozens of miles, with an endless stream of carriages and bags, continuously transporting food and military supplies to the front line. In order to maintain the daily consumption of a million-strong army, such a supply line must be kept unobstructed at all times, otherwise the army will be in trouble. What made Shi Yi even more alert was that he saw the stone forts under construction. Every ten miles, a stone fort rose from the ground. Although it was not yet fully completed, it had already taken shape. These stone forts were extremely strong, with troops stationed inside and large crossbows for city defense outside. It was a weapon that even ordinary soul masters were extremely afraid of, and its power was enough to threaten flying soul beasts and high-level soul masters.

Shi Yi frowned slightly, staring at the stone forts being built in the distance, thinking to himself: "Once these stone forts are built, the supply lines of the Tiandou army will be impregnable. At that time, only a small number of scouts will be sent out for patrol. Once they encounter an enemy attack, the supply team can quickly hide in the stone forts. Unless the enemy has enough power to break through the stone forts, they will not be able to pose a substantial threat to the supply line. Even if one stone fort is broken, the subsequent stone forts will form layers of defense, forcing the enemy to return empty-handed."

Shui Bing'er obviously also realized the seriousness of the problem, and asked in a low voice: "Shi Yi, if these stone forts are built, our actions will be greatly restricted. We must take action as soon as possible."

Shi Yi nodded, his eyes flashing with determination: "Yes, we must cut off the supply line of the Tiandou army before they complete the construction of the stone fort. Otherwise, the outcome of this war will be unpredictable."

Zhu Zhuqing said coldly: "In this case, we will act at night and destroy several key stone forts at lightning speed to disrupt their deployment."

"That depends on Bing'er." Shi Yi smiled slightly and turned his gaze to Shui Bing'er.

Shui Bing'er looked at Shi Yi with a hint of doubt in her eyes: "What do you want to do?"

Shi Yi looked deep in his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Bing'er, with your current level, if you exert the power of ultimate ice to the fullest, how large an area can you freeze?"

Shui Bing'er thought for a moment and replied, "If we use our full strength, it should be no problem to freeze an area of ​​ten miles in radius. If we lower the quality of the ice, the range can be extended even further."

When Shi Yi heard this, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes: "Very good, then our plan will be more certain."

As night fell, the moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, and the whole land fell into darkness. Shi Yi, Shui Bing'er and Zhu Zhuqing quietly sneaked into the rear of the Tiandou army, aiming directly at the stone fortress under construction.

"Bing'er, are you ready?" Shi Yi asked in a low voice, with a serious look in his eyes.

Shui Bing'er nodded, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "We can start anytime."

Shi Yi said in a deep voice: "Okay, follow the plan. Bing'er, you are responsible for freezing the Stone Fort and its surrounding areas to block their supply lines. Zhuqing, you are responsible for clearing out the nearby scouts to ensure that our actions are not discovered. I will coordinate in secret and support you at any time."

Zhu Zhuqing said coldly: "Understood."

Shui Bing'er took a deep breath and slowly raised her hands. The power of extreme ice gathered in her palms. Her eyes glowed with an icy blue light. The temperature around her suddenly dropped, and even tiny ice crystals condensed in the air.

"Ninth soul skill, absolute zero!" Shui Bing'er shouted in a low voice and pushed her hands forward suddenly.

Instantly, an extremely cold force spread rapidly around her, with her as the center. The ground began to freeze, and the walls of the stone fortress were covered with a thick layer of frost. Even the air was frozen. Everything within a radius of ten miles was frozen, as if time had stopped at this moment.

The soldiers of the Tiandou army were frozen in place before they could react, and even their screams were frozen in their throats.

Even the scouts who were secretly on guard were directly frozen by Shui Binger's powerful soul power.

Even Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Douluo couldn't help but shiver under Shi Yi's protection.

"Without a titled fire-attribute soul master, it would probably take a lot of time to break Sister Bing'er's soul skill at this level of freezing." Zhu Zhuqing said slowly.

"Of course, in this case, Tiandou's supply line will have to change its route. The ultimate ice is not something that ordinary soldiers can touch." Shi Yi said with a smile.

Under the merciless ice and snow, in just a short moment, the supply line of the Tiandou army was completely cut off, and the entire rear fell into chaos.

At the same time, in the Tiandou camp.

Xue Beng suddenly stood up from his seat, his face livid: "What? The stone fort in the rear was destroyed? The supply line was cut off? How is this possible!?"

A scout knelt on one knee, his voice trembling: "Your Majesty, an extreme cold force suddenly appeared in the rear, and the supply line was instantly frozen for ten miles. Ordinary soldiers can't get close to that extreme cold force at all."

Ning Fengzhi frowned and whispered, "It seems that a master from the Wuhun Empire has taken action. He is able to exert such a large-scale freezing force..."

Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi's gaze instantly fell on Chen Xin beside him, and Chen Xin nodded slightly.

"Shi Yi..." Ning Fengzhi said secretly in his heart.

Xue Beng looked at Ning Fengzhi for help. Ning Fengzhi also bowed to Xue Beng and said, "I will ask someone to investigate right away."

As Ning Fengzhi's voice fell, Chen Xin's figure disappeared.

When Chen Xin and his men arrived at the supply line, they saw only a frozen ruin. The stone fort had collapsed, the supply line had been cut off, and the entire rear was in chaos.

Chen Xin frowned slightly. Even he did not dare to touch such a powerful icy force casually. "It seems that this supply line needs to be moved to another place."

Shi Yi and the others had already disappeared without a trace. However, this sudden attack dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Tiandou army.

The dark clouds of war grow thicker. (End of this chapter)
