Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 394 Chaotic Battle in the Steel Forest
On the palace square, countless high-level soul masters were engaged in fierce battles.

Several Guardian Soul Master Corps faced off against elites from various sects and academies, and the roar of cannons resounded throughout Mingdu.

The people of Mingdu dared not stay at home, trembling with fear, terrified that the power of these high-level soul masters would affect them, the innocent people.

As the core of the entire event, Yunyi, with her excellent control of the field, assisted the titled Douluo from various countries in fighting against those level nine soul masters, which allowed the three countries of Douluo Continent, which were originally at a disadvantage, to barely reverse their decline.

Her Divine Brain Martial Soul can construct a mental network, connecting everyone's minds. This ability is not very useful in one-on-one battles, but it is a divine skill in team battles.

It can make the combined strength of the titled Douluo greater than the sum of its parts.

In terms of overall strength, the Guardian Hand is undoubtedly far stronger than these sects and academies, after all, as the Sun and Moon Emperor said, this is the territory of the Sun and Moon Empire.

However, the Soul Master Corps here is not complete. When Xu Tianran sent out a large army to blockade Mingdu, the ones blocking the outside were naturally the Soul Master Corps.

Ordinary armies cannot withstand the onslaught of Soul Masters and are simply unable to achieve a blockade effect.

The power of the five major Soul Master Corps has been dispersed, and only a small portion remains in the city, which is why they are barely able to maintain a stalemate with the power of Douluo Continent.

Xu Tianran finally sensed something was wrong. "Ju Zi, didn't you say the Soul Master Corps had already formed an encirclement? These guys have been inside the city for so long, why haven't the reinforcements from outside entered the city yet?"

His plan was to prevent the three major powers from advancing, and to encircle them if they fought a direct attack. If they wanted to escape, they could only flee to the west, which was another death trap he had prepared for them.

It's fair to say he considered every possibility.

Shrek Academy's feigned attack on Mingde Hall, while actually putting in the effort, clearly indicated that they had chosen the third option: preparing to evacuate to the west.

However, the Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent chose the second option, which was suicidal: a direct confrontation. In that case, they would be forced to encircle each other like dumplings. The problem was, where would they find the dumpling wrappers?
If he doesn't protect them soon, these guys will come right up to him.

boom------

Suddenly, an incredibly loud explosion rang out, instantly drowning out the sounds of the Soul Master Corps and Soul Master Legion engaged in battle, demonstrating just how devastating the explosion was.

Moreover, the direction of the explosion was directly towards the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, where Crown Prince Xu Tianran and Crown Princess Ju Zi were located.

"Your Highness!" Xia Xuanchen called out anxiously.

He is currently the acting leader of the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Group, responsible for protecting Xu Tianran.

Xu Tianyuan was killed by Yuwen Tuo, leaving the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps leaderless. He was originally the deputy leader of the Evil Monarch Soul Master Corps and also possessed the strength of a level nine Soul Master, so he was promoted by Xu Tianran.

Xia Xuanchen was naturally grateful for this; such kindness was a great favor indeed.

The explosion just now was from the ninth soul skill, Heart Burial, unleashed by Miao Xin when she struck out Ming Lei Douluo.

Only Miao Xin's strongest ninth soul skill, which is ten thousand years old, has such power. This is only because she deliberately controlled the explosion range; otherwise, not only the East Palace, but the entire palace would have been blown away by her.

However, thanks to his other two defensive soul tools, Nether Thunder Douluo seems to have managed to survive. He's only able to live because Miao Xin's real target wasn't him, but Xu Tianran. But with such severe injuries, he definitely won't recover in a few years.

"Amazing! No wonder she's my goddess!" Jiang Peng roared excitedly. Although Miao Xin wasn't exactly a great beauty, in his eyes at that moment, she was the most beautiful.

Miao Xin turned around and smiled, "Silly boy, what are you swooning over now? Focus on defending against the enemy."

"Yes!" Jiang Peng seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. He swung the Heaven-Shaking Axe in his hand, sweeping away dozens of enemy soldiers in front of him. The Heaven-Shaking Axe was hailed as a top-level weapon spirit second only to the Clear Sky Hammer. In general, they were considered to be on the same level.

"Is Xu Tianran dead?" Xu Jiu asked hopefully. With such a powerful explosion, even if Xu Tianran was a Title Douluo, he shouldn't have survived, let alone a cripple. Just then, a figure leaped out of the sea of ​​fire, carrying a stunningly beautiful woman in his arms.

It was Xu Tianran and Ju Zi.

Xu Tianran actually stood up; he was walking using a level-nine prosthetic soul tool instead of his two legs.

Moreover, another protective shield appeared on his body. Unlike the previous soul tool, this one was not for protection against physical impacts, but for dealing with energy impacts. The only similarity was that both were trigger-type defensive soul tools.

Miao Xin's face turned grim as she asked, "Just how many trigger-activated defensive soul tools does this Xu Tianran have hidden on him? How afraid of death is he?"

Xu Tianran's expression was filled with anger. Miao Xin's attack just now had really made him feel the danger of death. "Foolish people always like to do foolish things. Since you are looking for death, I will grant your wish today. Activate, Steel Forest."

As he spoke, Xu Tianran snapped his fingers, and the next moment, the ground in front of the East Palace opened up one by one, and from inside rose giant soul-guided cannons.

"These are all near-level nine fixed-mount soul-guided turrets!" Xu Jiujiu exclaimed in surprise.

Unexpectedly, such a powerful force was hidden within the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace. If so many level-nine cannons were to fire simultaneously, even a titled Douluo would find it difficult to escape death.

She finally understood that their plan to feign an attack on Mingde Hall and actually assassinate Xu Tianran, which seemed pretty good, was actually entirely within Xu Tianran's calculations. He was using himself as bait to lure them into this steel jungle to kill them.

In fact, Xu Tianran originally did not intend to use this steel forest. After all, if so many level-nine soul-guided cannons fired at the same time, the death toll would be far more than just the people from the three kingdoms of Douluo Continent; the entire palace would be destroyed.

These cannons were originally prepared for Yuwen Tuo's two emperors, the Ice and Snow Emperors.

But for some reason, the Soul Master Legion in the rear has been slow to arrive to provide support, and in order to annihilate the enemy, he can no longer care about such things.

In any case, according to the detection soul guide device, there is no trace of the Ice and Snow Emperors in Mingdu City at present, so Yuwen Tuo probably did not bring them here.

Since that's the case, he doesn't need to save any money.

Vina and Long Aotian quickly retreated, but they didn't panic for long.

Because Xu Tianran's scheme within a scheme was also part of their plan.

"Hehe, just as our clever junior brother predicted, right, Aotian?" Vina laughed.

"That's right, junior brother, it's your turn to step up!" Long Aotian called out.

Xu Tianran was startled, and then saw a loud bang behind him as Yuwen Tuo flew out from behind the palace.

"You've finally come out, Yuwen Tuo, but what's the use of you coming out now? Are you going to die with these guys?" Xu Tianran was not angry when he saw Yuwen Tuo this time, but was actually very happy.

Since Yuwen Tuo has emerged, it means that his people will immediately eliminate his father, the emperor.

After eliminating Yuwen Tuo, the "father murderer," he rightfully ascended the throne.

Yuwen Tuo said, "Xu Tianran, don't be too smug. I'll return your words to you. Foolish people always like to do foolish things. Today, watch how I break through your steel forest!"

Unless Ye Xishui appears, he had no intention of summoning the Snow Empress. However, he could break through the mere Steel Forest even without the Snow Empress's power.
