Douluo Continent: Ning Rongrong? Even a dog wouldn't chase her.

Just as Gu Yi was thinking this, the people below had already begun to act.

"Big Sumeru Hammer!"

"White Tiger Slaying Heaven Claw!"

"Netherworld Strike!"

At the same moment that the two Clear Sky Hammers were thrown out of the window, Tiger God Douluo and Meng...

Demon Douluo also hurriedly took action, once again using the soul skill he had just used.

Just as the four attacks were about to hit the soul power barrier, the entire barrier suddenly disappeared, including the black hole and the iron chains.

And this was exactly Gu Yi's plan.

Since this barrier can't stop their four skills anyway, why not just cancel this soul skill and let them fight like dogs, leaving a mess behind!

"No! Get out of the way!"

Although Tiger God Douluo warned them immediately, at their level, their soul skills were so powerful that they were not so easy to dodge.

Tiger God Douluo was alright; he withdrew his attack in time and turned around, gathering all his strength in his right arm, and punched the Clear Sky Hammer back.

However, this also caused some damage to Tiger God Douluo's arm.

The worst off was Dream Demon Douluo, who couldn't dodge the incoming Clear Sky Hammer at all. He was severely injured after being hit just once.

He collapsed helplessly to the ground, coughing up blood continuously.

"Damn it! Where is that kid?"

"Yiyu, are you alright?"

Seeing that the soul skill was missing, everyone immediately began searching for Gu Yi's figure in the surrounding area.

But apart from the ruins, there wasn't a soul in sight.

"Damn it, he must have escaped using teleportation."

Tang Hao clenched his fists, furious. At the same time, he began to scan his surroundings again, searching for Tang San and the others.

Fortunately, everyone else was fine. Ning Rongrong was protected by Liu Erlong, and although she lost consciousness, she was not seriously injured.

Flander immediately found his disciple Ma Hongjun and protected Oscar as well.

Tang San hid on the second floor and was fine.

This great battle ended with the Nightmare Douluo severely injured.

"If they can deal with a mere Gu Yi like this, how are we supposed to cope with the upcoming battle tomorrow?"

Amidst the ruins, Tiger God Douluo stood beside Dream Demon Douluo, supporting him with a furrowed brow, his confidence from the daytime instantly vanishing.

"..."

Upon hearing this question, everyone fell silent instantly. This great battle seemed to be more complex than they had imagined.

"Let's... retreat first."

"Retreat tonight, or tomorrow we will face only total annihilation."

"We were too careless. We shouldn't have left our forces in the capital to prevent a surprise attack."

"We should gather all available forces as soon as possible, and then fight the Spirit Hall to the death!"

Despite the pain from his injuries, the Dream Demon Douluo replied.

At least for now, he sees no hope of winning this battle.

"..."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent for a long while.

Although the nightmare was right, the fact that they had to retreat before the battle even began was something they found hard to accept.

"Well, that's all we can do. Let's hurry back and regroup for a retreat."

"We can't just abandon this million-strong army, can we?"

As he spoke, Tiger God Douluo was about to help Dream Demon Douluo leave.

Tang Hao and Tang Xiao did not stop them; they understood perfectly well that this was indeed the most important thing to do at the moment.

They seriously underestimated the strength of the Spirit Hall.

If Gu Yi hadn't given them a good lesson tonight, they would still be immersed in their dreams for tomorrow.

"That's all we can do now, let's retreat quickly."

"Gu Yi... is a truly terrifying person. I have never seen a guy with such terrifying combat power and talent."

"Do we... really still have a future?"

Tang Xiao looked up at the sky, feeling a deep sense of melancholy.

Tang Hao didn't speak upon hearing this. He simply turned his head quietly to look at Tang San beside him, seemingly lost in thought.

Chapter 206 Poison

"Hmm? Yi'er, you're back."

"How's it going? Have you finished what you were supposed to do?"

"I just saw a big battle break out in the city. Are you alright?"

Two thousand meters away from the Star Luo army, Gu Yi's figure suddenly appeared in everyone's sight from the darkness.

Upon seeing that it was Gu Yi who had returned, Gu Rong immediately stepped forward and asked him a few questions with concern.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, we're fine. They're the ones in trouble."

"But what I wanted to do was also ruined by them. It hasn't been completed yet, and it may be more difficult to do it in the future."

"However, now is a good time for you to make your move."

"The titled Douluo on the other side are not in the main army now, so you can begin your operation."

Although he didn't accomplish his goal, he did create a good opportunity to complete the mission.

"Alright, you can rest here for a bit, we'll be right back."

After saying that, Gu Rong disappeared from Gu Yi's sight with the Porcupine Douluo and Dugu Bo.

Surprisingly, Gu Yi was left alone again.

"Whoo~"

"In the end, it was still a bit of a stretch. Although this ninth soul skill is powerful, it consumes too much soul power."

"Just one release almost drained my soul power."

"Of course, this is also because the range I selected was too broad."

"If I only choose a small area around the target to use this soul skill in battle, I probably won't have to consume so much energy."

After figuring this out, Gu Yicai breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Only he himself knew just how terrifying the consumption of that soul skill he used in the city was for him.

"The time for the Divine Trial will be postponed again. After that big battle, they probably won't fight us again."

"There is an 80% chance that they will withdraw their troops tomorrow and return to the capital to regroup."

"They will only come out if their strength and budget can match ours; otherwise, they will probably sue for peace."

These are all inferences made by Gu Yi based on the information he obtained today.

If this were the thinking of most normal people, knowing they couldn't win but still wanting to fight would be the act of a madman or a fool.

But it's clear that none of those people are like that.

If, in addition, a million-strong army were wiped out overnight, it would further provoke them, making them angry but also preventing them from fighting again.

"A settlement would be best, so I can set my terms."

"At the very least, we can use the power of the Spirit Hall to search for Ning Rongrong's whereabouts in the Star Luo Empire."

"But if the other side insists on fighting, it will probably take up a lot of time."

"Never mind, it's still early anyway. Although there are still many variables, it's still under control."

"Let's just wait for the right time."

After figuring all this out, Gu Yi relaxed and lay down on the lawn, quietly waiting for Gu Rong, Dugu Bo, and the others to return.

It will be at least six years before Qian Renxue becomes a god, and quite some time before Bibi Dong becomes a god as well.

And once this battle is over, he will be able to seize the initiative.

About ten minutes later, alone

Gu Bo and his men finally returned, having prepared large quantities of lethal toxins in various corners of the army.

If they detonate it now, the poison gas will spread at an extremely fast speed, but whether it can wipe out the entire enemy is unknown.

But at least they can be certain that they can eliminate at least 70 percent of the other side's numbers.

"Now that we've finished, let's go. After we return and report back, let's get some rest."

Gu Yi slowly stood up from the ground. His soul power was completely depleted, and he couldn't wait to go back to meditate.

"Okay, let's go back then!"

……

On the other side, a soldier patrolling the Star Luo army suddenly collapsed to the ground without warning. His eyes bulged, his face turned purple, he foamed at the mouth, and his whole body was convulsing, as if he was about to die.

This situation was not unique to this one person; it occurred continuously from the outer perimeter of the army at the same time.

This situation is like a wave crashing onto the beach, relentlessly advancing towards the heart of the army.

At the same time, a very thin wisp of smoke drifted through the army on the wind.

"Oh!"

Suddenly, a dazzling burst of fire shot into the sky and exploded in mid-air; it was the same kind of firework that Tang San had used in the hotel.
