Wuhun Xuanming Turtle? Bullshit, this is the sacred beast Xuanwu

Douling Empire military camp
A troop on horseback quickly approached the border town of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Cavalry remains a very useful force today, possessing considerable strength in harassment.

These cavalry units have been harassing the borders of the Heavenly Soul Empire all this time.

Their high mobility and ability to hit and run have given them a consistent advantage.

Although the Heavenly Soul Empire would sometimes send troops to chase them out of anger, it never deployed cavalry and always used infantry to pursue them, so most of the time the fighting would end after a short while.

This made the unit very proud of itself.

At this moment, the troops carrying the military flag of the Douling Empire rushed forward quickly.

As usual, they planned to run a lap around the walls of the Heavenly Soul Empire before leaving.

If the other side doesn't want any real military conflict to break out, then naturally they won't fire arrows.

only……

This time the plot is a little different.

This force quickly rushed to the walls of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

They arrived waving their flags as they turned to leave.

"Boom——"

However, at that moment, the city gate behind them suddenly opened.

As a border city, its city gates were naturally always kept tightly closed.

Be constantly on guard against an attack from the Douling Empire.

But then it suddenly opened.

This surprised the troops.

The next moment, a group of soldiers wearing Heavenly Soul Empire armor and carrying soul tools suddenly appeared behind them.

"boom!"

The moment this unit appeared, they immediately activated their soul-guided devices, unleashing countless soul-guided shells and soul-guided rays that rushed towards them.

"boom!"

In an instant, the cavalry units were blown to pieces by the soul-guided cannonballs.

Although these dense attacks consisted of relatively low-level soul tools, they played a significant role on the battlefield.

At this point, under the attack of this force, the small cavalry unit was naturally and easily defeated.

Those cavalrymen never imagined that what would be a lucrative job for them—running a lap around here to earn military merit—would turn into a mission that cost them their lives.

"send troops!"

Just after the cavalry unit was defeated, a young man slowly emerged from the town.

With a sudden wave of his hand, countless soldiers immediately set off in a grand procession.

Judging from the scale, the number of soldiers must be at least tens of thousands.

What is most surprising is that, in addition to being equipped with conventional weapons, the vast majority of these soldiers also possess soul-guided devices.

……

Border of the Douling Empire
"General! The Heavenly Soul Empire... has attacked!"

A soldier in the military camp rushed up to Xue Long and began to report.

"What? How dare they?"

Xuelong was extremely surprised to hear this news.

He had initially thought the enemy's troop deployment at the pass was merely a show of force to intimidate him, but now they dared to launch a direct attack?
This……

Has the Heavenly Soul Empire lost its mind?
"Great, we haven't even gone looking for trouble with them yet, and they actually dare to turn around and cause us trouble."

Xue Long gave a cold laugh.

In fact, how could it be that only the Heavenly Soul Empire had designs on the Fighting Spirit Empire?

The Douling Empire has always harbored ambitions towards the Tianhun Empire. After all, both were originally split off from the Tiandou Empire.

The friction has been ongoing for many years.

It's just that they've never had a reason to send troops.

"boom!"

The next moment, a soul-guided cannon shell blasted directly into their military camp.

This Soul Island cannonball contained immense power, and the moment it landed, it emitted a powerful shockwave of soul energy.

In the blink of an eye, accompanied by a tremendous heat and the impact of soul power.

The entire military camp was reduced to dust.

Even under this attack, Xue Long's body suffered severe damage.

Even though he had already mobilized his soul power to protect himself in time.

But he was still injured.

"What's going on with these guys...?"

Xuelong's eyes widened.

The military camp that was just there a moment ago has now vanished, and even he, a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse, is injured.

Needless to say, the other soldiers were even worse off.

Anyone who gets even slightly closer dies instantly.

Those who were further away far away didn't fare much better; they were almost all seriously injured.

Meanwhile, their city walls were being constantly attacked by soul-guided devices.

"These guys actually dared to invade my border?!"

Xuelong looked somewhat disheveled, but he still stared wide-eyed.

Xue Long immediately left the military camp and summoned all the surviving soldiers in the unit, even those who could move, and called them all to his aid.

The soldiers who were sent to guard the frontier were all of relatively high quality.

After all, they are located in a high-risk area for war, and there are bound to be minor frictions and conflicts between the two sides from time to time, which can sometimes even escalate into armed conflict.

So, under Xue Long's summons, they quickly assembled and prepared to leave the city to meet the enemy.

However, what greeted them was not the enemy's iron cavalry, but wave after wave of soul-guided cannonballs and wave after wave of soul-guided rays.

In fact, when these troops are gathered in one place, they are extremely lethal once they charge into battle.

Especially when so many people attack at the same time, the sheer force of the attack can often intimidate the enemy.

Both sides' borders are flat plains, and a large army assembling in such a region would have an incredibly formidable fighting force.

However, their advantages seemed utterly ridiculous under the bombardment of soul-guided cannonballs.

Join a tour group?
Soul tools are designed to target groups like yours that stick together.

Under the bombardment of soul tools, the tighter the opponents huddled together, the more severe the damage they would suffer.

Under the bombardment of soul-guided shells, those large-scale troops had no way to dodge.

This army had only been out of the city for a short time when it was immediately bombarded by the soul-guided devices of the Heavenly Soul Empire's army and was powerless to fight back.

They suffered heavy losses in a short time.

"This……"

Xue Long still had some fighting spirit; he always led his troops and was at the forefront.

However, what happened shocked him immensely.

Massive amounts of soul-guided shells rained down on their army, leaving behind waves of soul energy shockwaves, and the screams and wails of soldiers.

"You are seeking death!"

Seeing this, Xue Long let out a roar and charged forward at top speed. (End of Chapter)
