Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 597 The King-Capturing Strategies of Both Sides in the Exchange
"Nana, watch out!"

Long Aotian was indeed the first to react, after all, his mind was only on Vina.

The soul bone skill of the 90,000-year-old heavy armor rhinoceros was an unparalleled defensive skill, and he immediately used his body as a shield to block Vina.

In fact, Vina herself is quite quick to react, after all, she is a titled Douluo of the mental type and possesses the top-level physical spirit brain.

The brain works much faster than anything else; she subconsciously activated a mental defense shield almost the instant she sensed danger.

Moreover, to ensure her safety, she borrowed a trigger-activated level nine defensive soul tool from Mingde Hall.

With these three layers of protection, even a Limit Douluo wouldn't be able to hurt Vina so easily.

But this time, the three layers of defense were easily broken through by the newcomer. First, Long Aotian was sent flying by the immense force, then Vina's mental shield shattered, and finally the level nine defensive soul tool was destroyed in one blow, turning into tiny ice crystals and dissipating. The remaining force after breaking through the three layers of protection struck Vina's abdomen heavily, instantly sending her flying.

"Pfft!" Vina spat out a mouthful of blood. Fortunately, the triple defenses absorbed a lot of the attacker's power. In addition, Vina herself had the profound cultivation of a Title Douluo. Otherwise, that attack would probably have killed her.

"Damn it." Jiang Peng angrily took out the Heaven-Shaking Axe and swung it horizontally. A crescent-shaped slash was sent toward the attacker, but the man held it in his hand and easily crushed it with a little force.

The entire command tent was torn to shreds by that sharp aura.

Although the attack was ineffective, it did slow down the attacker for a second. All the titled Douluo of the Heavenly Soul Empire immediately formed a human wall in front of Vina.

With Long Aotian's help, Vina stood up, clutching her chest, and looked at the black-robed man in front of her, saying, "Hehe, you must be Huo Yuhao. As expected of a level 100 expert, you managed to send Aotian flying and injure me so badly with a single strike."

The man in black robes took off his robes, and in the moonlight, everyone could see his face clearly. It was Huo Yuhao, who should have died at Cao Jinxuan's hands.

"So what if I'm level 100? I couldn't even kill you with a single blow when I ambushed you, a mere Title Douluo. My power is still very immature," Huo Yuhao said with self-deprecation.

“That’s right, you’re still far behind my junior brother Yuwen.” After saying that, Vina immediately ordered Jiang Yuan, “Marshal Jiang, give the signal.”

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan activated the signal flare in his hand, and immediately, a huge fireball flew into the sky and exploded.

This is not a distress signal, but an attack signal.

Since she had anticipated that Huo Yuhao might come to carry out the strategy of capturing the king, how could Vina not make preparations for both possibilities?

If you look closely, you'll find that not all the titled Douluo of the Heavenly Soul Empire are here.

Xiao Xiao, Cao Jinxuan, Ji Juechen, Nana, Ye Guyi and other outstanding disciples of Guigu were all absent.

They had already left the military camp and were lying in ambush near Yuming City. As long as they saw the signal flare Jiang Yuan fired, they would know that Huo Yuhao had gone to the military camp to attack Vina. In that case, the only titled Douluo force left in Yuming City would be Dai Hao.

They also need to carry out the strategy of capturing the king, and take advantage of this time to capture or kill Dai Hao.

In other words, the two sides have switched places. Now it depends on which side is more efficient: whether Huo Yuhao can kill Vina first under the protection of the many titles of the Body Sect, or whether Xiao Xiao and the others can break through Dai Hao's defensive formation first.

This battle will determine the final outcome.

Above Yuming City, countless arrows rained down like raindrops, along with a few soul-guided cannons, hindering Xiao Xiao and the others' advance.

Nana transformed into a giant ghost, enveloping the arrows and soul-guided cannons, and said, "Little sister Xiao Xiao, I'll help you block the attacks, you go straight for the enemy's heart."

"It doesn't travel a thousand miles!"

"Angel Sword!"

"Severing the Void." Ji Juechen, Ye Guyi, and Cao Jinxuan drew their swords simultaneously, their three sword energies merging into one. From the city wall to the city lord's mansion, a trench a hundred meters deep was instantly cleaved by the sword energy, and countless city defense soldiers fell into the ground.

Xiao Xiao arrived at the top of the City Lord's Mansion almost without any hindrance; she could sense that Dai Hao was inside.

"A national treasure, the cauldron trembles!" Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron crashed down violently.

Just as it was about to crash down, it was stopped by a protective shield containing the soul power of a considerable number of soul masters, which could not be broken through quickly by one person alone.

"Is this... a linked defensive soul tool? I didn't expect that Xingluo has developed this kind of thing over the years, but compared to the Sun Moon Empire, it looks really crude." Xiao Xiao was not flustered at all; she was also one of the nemesis of soul tools.

"Soul Bone Skill, Thousand Blades Facing the Phoenix!"

With a silver light emanating from her arm, Xiao Xiao was about to control this linked defensive soul tool.

After all, no matter how powerful a soul tool is, it is still made of metal. She even dismantled the level 10 soul tool, the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, let alone this kind of inferior linked defensive soul tool.

The commotion within Yuming City naturally caught Huo Yuhao's attention; he hadn't expected Vina to act so quickly.

It seems he needs to finish the battle quickly, deal with Vina, and then go back to help Dai Hao, otherwise he estimates Dai Hao won't be able to hold out for long.

"Scatter!" Vina commanded, and she and the many Title Douluos immediately dispersed.

Already hidden in the shadows, more than a dozen level-nine soul-guided cannons were now under the control of Jing Hongchen and his grandson Meng Hongchen, pointed at Huo Yuhao.

"Boom boom boom——"

All the soul-guided cannons were fired, the shells were fierce and dense. An ordinary titled Douluo would probably be wiped out in one round of bombardment, and even a super Douluo would be seriously injured if he didn't die.

But at this moment, Huo Yuhao is a pseudo-god of level 100.

"Mental control!"

A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and all the cannons were frozen in mid-air by his powerful mental force.

Then ice crystals appeared on his fingers. He fired them like a machine gun, each crystal hitting a cannonball. The two forces collided and exploded in mid-air.

Not a single level-nine soul-guided cannon could hit Huo Yuhao.

"So what if I'm a Soul Master? I'm the ultimate solo soldier at Shrek Academy, cultivating both Soul Master and Soul Instructor skills," Huo Yuhao said proudly.

As he spoke, he fully released the spirit rings of his Spirit Eye Martial Soul: platinum, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, red, and dark gold.

As expected of a level 100 expert, he has a full ten spirit rings, and the first and last ones are both gold.

One is the million-year-old platinum of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, and the other is the divine ring he condensed after being resurrected and becoming a guardian deity.

For a moment, the terrifying aura suppressed all the titled Douluo present, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.

Huo Yuhao's strength has indeed surpassed that of a Limit Douluo. Even Du Busi, who was unleashing his full power, could only slightly injure him by fighting to the death.

Ordinary titled Douluo are far from being his match.
