Civilian Soul Masters in Douluo World

Chapter 364 Measuring the Heavens
"呲"

A sharp sword light flashed out, actually blocking the source of destructive lightning;
The sacred fire from the Angelic Martial Soul surged onto the Angelic Sword, and the aura surrounding Qian Daoliu also rose steadily.

With another slash, he amplified the purifying power of the Angel Sword to its limit, dismantling and purifying the source of destructive lightning. However, this slash consumed a great deal of energy from Qian Daoliu.

"Sect Master of Thunder God Sect, I think we should stop here. Even if you can kill the elders of my Martial Soul Empire, your Thunder God Sect will probably be almost destroyed."

Qian Daoliu's voice carried a threatening tone. This was the territory of the Thunder God Sect, so there was no need to worry about the impact of the battle. As a ninety-nine Limit Douluo, he certainly had the ability to do so.

"it is good."

Tie Li paused for a long time before slowly replying.

As Qian Daoliu said, continuing the fight would not benefit either side.

The opponent killed the sect elder, and in turn, killed the Soul Master of the Spirit Empire.

The Demon-Slaying Douluo is severely injured and unconscious, but Bingju's condition is equally dire. If they were to engage in a life-or-death battle, both of them might perish.

"huhu"

Ghost Leopard Douluo gasped for breath; in that brief moment, he felt he was so close to death.

A mark pierced through the void, catching Qian Daoliu off guard, and struck directly into Ghost Leopard Douluo's brow.

"Don't worry, it's just leaving a mark on him, you won't mind, will you?"

Qian Daoliu's eyes turned cold, but he didn't do so because he knew that Tie Li was on guard and would not give him a chance.

Ghost Leopard Douluo's expression changed. This mark wouldn't have much of an effect on him; its main purpose was to pinpoint his location.

Being targeted by the sect leader of the Thunder God Sect is definitely not a good thing for him.

Lei Zhen and Viper Xin were on the cliffs on either side of the Giant Python Canyon, but they felt a strange unease, which made them quite anxious.

There should be no problem; the master is in the sect.

Viper Xin thought to himself, his gaze fixed on the army outside the Python Canyon.

They lingered outside the canyon for a long time, seemingly pondering whether to enter or traverse the Python Canyon.
“Count Asson, isn’t it too risky to go straight through the canyon?” Count Goren asked doubtfully.

Although he had never been on the battlefield, he could tell that the terrain of the Python Canyon was treacherous. If the enemy set up an ambush on the cliffs on both sides once they entered the Python Canyon, it would cause a devastating blow to the army.

“Count Goren, you have never been on the battlefield and do not understand the principle of speed in war.”

If we detour around the outside of the canyon, such a large army will definitely attract attention. If the soul masters of the Thunder God Sect find out, they will surely set up many traps along the way to kill our soldiers. By the time we reach the Thunder God Sect, the army of 200,000 might be reduced to less than 100,000.
"We've traversed the Giant Python Canyon. It's a bit risky, but the enemy might not know the canyon's secrets. They're just Soul Masters who know how to cultivate; how could they possibly understand strategic formations?"

Earl Asson analyzed with a serious expression, but inwardly he sneered, thinking, "Only a fool like you would believe such a thing."

For Count Asson, his ostensible mission was to assist Count Goren in attacking the Thunder God Sect, but his real mission was to kill Count Goren at the hands of the Thunder God Sect, and in doing so, to annihilate the entire army of 200,000.

The Soul Masters of the Thunder God Sect must have been lying in ambush on the cliffs on both sides of the Giant Python Canyon long ago, right?
Earl Asson couldn't help but look into the Python Canyon.

Once we enter the Giant Python Canyon, I'll find a chance to slip away.

Earl Asson was plotting his own plan.

As expected, Earl Goren nodded subconsciously after hearing Earl Asson's analysis. He felt that Earl Asson's words made sense, after all, Earl Asson had earned his title through military merit, and he was certainly more capable of leading troops than himself. "Very well, let's follow Earl Asson's suggestion. The entire army will rest for two hours, and then cross the Python Canyon."

Give the army time to rest and recover their strength, and then cross the Python Canyon in one fell swoop, so as to avoid any unforeseen events that might occur if the army stops to rest in the canyon.

Earl Asson glanced at him; he did have some sense.

Viper Xin saw that the Heavenly Dou Empire's army was resting and preparing, and knew that they were going to pass through the Giant Python Canyon. He immediately sent word to everyone to get ready.

After a two-hour rest, Count Goren led his army on their way. As soon as they entered the canyon, a sense of oppression emanated from the cliffs on both sides, making him feel uneasy. The deeper they went, the more he felt like he was trapped in a cage.

When the entire army had ventured deep into the Python Valley, Count Goren couldn't help but ask Count Asson, but he had already vanished without a trace.

"Where has Earl Asson gone?" Earl Goren asked his guards hastily.

"It seems they went to check on the supplies, right?"

Upon hearing this, Earl Goren immediately looked toward the rear of the army, but Earl Asson was nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, dozens of powerful soul force fluctuations appeared on the cliffs on both sides of the canyon.

Count Goren himself was a Soul Master, so how could he not sense such a powerful fluctuation of Soul Power?
He immediately realized something was wrong and shouted loudly to the army.

"Go back, go back immediately."

But it was too late. How could Viper Sin possibly miss such a good opportunity to attack?
"Break through the cliffs and bury this army completely in the Python Canyon."

At the very least, they all possessed the cultivation level of Soul Saint, and their martial souls were all lightning-attribute martial souls with considerable offensive power. Smashing through cliffs was far too easy for them.

Bolts of lightning struck above the Giant Python Canyon, creating a huge commotion, and countless rocks tumbled down the cliffs.

"Boom boom"

Amidst the deafening roar and screams of agony, this army of over two hundred thousand men suffered heavy losses, losing more than half of its strength in the short span of an incense stick's time.

"Should we press our advantage? If we transform into our Martial Soul True Forms, we can definitely bury this army of 200,000 men here," Lei Zhen said.

If you're going to kill, then kill them cleanly; that's always been Lei Zhen's belief.

But Viper's had another perspective, and he kept his people, including Earl Goren, in close contact with the army.

Viper's ears heard every word of the conversation between Earl Goren and Earl Asson, which made him sense something unusual.

Therefore, he released Count Goren and even helped him mitigate the impact of many of the rubble.

Originally an army of over 200,000, only 10,000 escaped from the canyon.

Earl Asson watched helplessly as the Thunder God Sect Soul Master above the cliff unleashed a destructive lightning attack.

"Hehe, they should all be dead by now, right?"

Earl Asson's eyes turned cold. This time, upon returning to the Heavenly Dou Empire, he could shift all the blame onto Earl Goren.

It was because he disobeyed his orders and insisted on heading through the Giant Python Canyon that they fell into the Thunder God Sect's ambush.
