Douluo Dragon King: I'm creating a golden age behind the scenes!

Chapter 70 Explosion

As the voice suddenly appeared above the group, a cracking sound came from the cave above them, "Crack!"

The cave ceiling, which had been sealed off like an iron barrel, appeared to have been blasted open with a brute force. As rubble fell, moonlight streamed into the cave through the hole, and a group of men dressed in black descended into the cave through the opening.

With a clear objective, they began looting the various soul tools inside the warehouse.

At this moment, no one in the warehouse expected such a change to happen. Everyone was shocked to see these sudden enemies.

"Quick! Stop them!"

Among the crowd, a burly guard captain was the first to react. He roared loudly, summoned his martial spirit, and charged towards the enemy.

Upon hearing their captain's order, the other guards snapped out of their daze, grabbed their weapons, and charged toward the man in black.

At this moment, the guard captain had already rushed in front of the enemy and swung his sword at the nearest man in black.

The man in black was clearly no ordinary person; with a nimble dodge, he avoided the fatal blow, then drew a dagger and stabbed at the guard captain.

Seeing this, the captain, relying on his rich experience, dodged to the side and blocked the dagger attack with his sword. At this time, both of them had released their spirit rings. However, when the captain saw the number of spirit rings of the other party, he was shocked. This person was the same as him, a seven-ring spirit saint. However, this person did not seem to be the opponent's strongest combat force. Realizing this, he dared not be careless and attacked with all his might, trying to finish him off as quickly as possible so that he could help the others.

And amidst the fierce battle, they were constantly looking for opportunities to send out distress signals.

"No, this place is extremely well-hidden. I made sure no one was following me before opening the door. How could the Holy Spirit Cult know? Could it be..."

The boss muttered to himself, his voice low and tense, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

But before the boss could finish speaking, something unexpected happened.

A flash of cold light, and a long sword pierced his chest.

In that instant, the shop owner felt a sharp, electric pain shoot through his chest and spread throughout his body. He turned his head with difficulty, his eyes filled with shock, and looked at the "customer" standing behind him. His lips trembled as he managed to squeeze out two weak words: "It's you!"

As the long sword was drawn, blood gushed from the boss's chest, staining his chest and the ground beneath his feet red. He finally collapsed in a pool of blood.

His so-called "guests" also stopped pretending and tore off their cloaks, revealing the pattern on their clothes: a skull with green flames burning in its eye sockets.

These mysterious "guests" are none other than the "Green Skull," a resistance organization native to the Star Luo Continent!

In coordination with the Holy Spirit Cult, they began to plunder the Tang Clan.

The Tang Clan disciples standing nearby were shocked to see their comrades being killed one by one. They roared, "How dare you team up with the Holy Spirit Cult to plot against our Tang Clan!"

Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Tang Clan?

Upon hearing this, the Green Skull members merely gave a disdainful smile.

"Revenge? If we kill you all, who will know it was us?"

To them, the Tang Sect, this arms dealer from Douluo Continent, had plundered countless resources from their homeland over the years, then turned those resources into weapons and sold them to them and the Star Luo Empire. They were no different from the Star Luo colonists, and even more despicable. Therefore, Green Skull felt no remorse for betraying them.

However, they also had to admit that the Tang Clan's weapons were indeed more powerful than their own, so they chose to cooperate with the Holy Spirit Cult this time.

After all, spending money is never as fast as directly robbing someone.

Under the combined frenzied attack of the Holy Spirit Cult and the Green Skull, the number of Tang Sect disciples dwindled. Their faces were filled with exhaustion; there were simply too many enemies, and their soul power was depleted, yet they still could not stop them.

Just as they were in despair, a sharp whistling sound cut through the sky.

Finally, the Tang Clan's reinforcements have arrived!

. . . . .

"stop!"

A stout figure fell from the sky, and the heavy force of his fall shook the ground. This figure was Hu Jie, the head of the Tang Sect's Star Luo Continent branch. He had rushed over after receiving the distress call at the Star Luo City headquarters.

Immediately following his earlier roar, his stomach began to throb rhythmically, and powerful sound waves emanated from his stomach, spreading outwards to the surrounding enemies. This was the second soul skill of his "Golden Belly" martial soul, "Abdominal Drumming Soul Shaking".

With Hu Jie's formidable level 98 soul power, these sound waves crashed down like a tsunami, directly engulfing the Holy Spirit Cult and Green Skull's soul masters who were raiding.

These soul masters immediately felt as if their brains were about to be blown apart by the terrifying sound. Their vision blurred, their soul power was directly blocked, and they were unable to move. They could barely even stand up.

Just then, a figure instantly appeared above the heads of the Holy Spirit Cult members, followed by a clear, ringing bell sound, "Ring ring—"

'

As soon as the bell rang, it met the sound waves from Hu Jie's abdominal drum.

The originally unstoppable sound waves of the belly drum, when they collided with the seemingly weak bell sound, ended up being evenly matched.

The expressions of the Holy Spirit Cult members, who had been suffering terribly from the sonic waves, gradually eased as the abdominal drumming subsided. They all looked up at the mysterious figure, their eyes filled with awe.

"Lord Dark Bell!"

The figure merely nodded slightly, watching Hu Jie warily across from him.

Despite the Holy Spirit Cult being heavily besieged in Douluo Continent, the mission to collect fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells could not be stopped for the sake of that plan.

Dark Bell was sent by the Ghost Emperor to collect soul-guided cannonballs, but she hadn't expected Hu Jie to arrive so quickly. She knew then that this operation had to end here.

At this moment, Hu Jie also frowned, a hint of surprise and vigilance flashing in his eyes. In his perception, the mysterious figure in front of him, although he looked young, had a soul power fluctuation that was on par with his own.

He never expected to encounter such a formidable opponent here.

It seems this situation won't end well!

The two powerful figures warily watched each other, and finally, Dark Bell made the first move.

With a wave of her hand, a huge bell phantom appeared above everyone. Terrifying sound waves, mixed with shrill screams and roars, bypassed Hu Jie and spread towards the Tang Clan members.

Seeing this, Hu Jie knew that these disciples, whose soul power was exhausted, could not possibly block this sound wave. He quickly teleported in front of the disciples and activated his third soul skill, Vajra Golden Belly!

A golden light suddenly burst forth from his stomach, quickly blocking the terrifying sound waves!

Seeing that Hu Jie was preoccupied with protecting the Tang Clan disciples and had no time to spare, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to launch a sneak attack. However, the next second, Dark Bell directly ordered: "Everyone, retreat!"

Although the members of the Holy Spirit Cult were puzzled, they dared not disobey and could only load the fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs into their storage soul-guided devices and withdraw from the cave.

But Hu Jie wanted to stop them, but he was held back by the Dark Bell and could only watch helplessly as they retreated one by one.

Seeing her subordinates retreat, Dark Bell unleashed a powerful attack: "Wraith Invasion."

The bell's illusory image shone brightly, and from it burst forth countless vengeful spirits, rushing towards Hu Jie in an attempt to entangle him.

Then, they rushed out of the cave. Hu Jie hurriedly chased after them, wanting to leave the others behind. But just as Hu Jie was chasing the Dark Bell, he saw a ray of red light rushing towards the cave from another direction.

He initially thought it was another reinforcement from the Tang Clan, but as the flame drew closer, he realized it was the tail flame of an already activated Level 8 fixed-position soul-guided cannon.

He was immediately alarmed and hurriedly changed direction, trying to stop it, but it was too late.

"No!!!"

The shell, trailing a long plume of flame, hurtled straight into the cave like a shooting star.

Inside the cave, the fixed-position soul-guided shells that had not yet been moved by the Holy Spirit Cult were like a powder keg with its fuse lit. With a loud "boom," intense flames and shockwaves instantly spread in all directions.

Immediately afterwards, all the remaining fixed-position soul-guided shells and soul-guided bombs were detonated together. Each explosion was like a small earthquake, the ground trembled violently, and the stone walls of the cave were directly shattered by the terrifying explosions.

A mushroom cloud shot into the sky, its flames illuminating an area of ​​several kilometers as if it were daytime.

The shockwave from the explosion swept through everything inside the cave, and fragments of shattered soul tools and rocks flew everywhere like bullets, directly shattering the small suburban mountain.

Hu Jie was violently thrown into the air by the blast wave, tumbling several times before crashing heavily to the ground.

But as he attempted to search the cave for survivors, another piece of bad news arrived: "Master, our headquarters has been completely looted!"

Hu Jie then realized that he had been lured away from his post!

000

The explosion instantly reached Xingluo City, more than ten kilometers away, shattering the city's tranquility with the sudden roar.

Chaos erupted in the city. All the city's defense troops were mobilized and martial law was imposed. Many residents put on their clothes, opened their doors, and stood on the streets, looking at the faint firelight in the distance and the chaotic scene in the city. For a time, there was much discussion.

The powerful figures in the city were also awakened by the terrifying sound. One after another, they rose into the sky above Star Luo City, and many people flew towards the distant firelight.

When they arrived at the center of the explosion, all they saw was that the hill had been blown into a huge crater, filled with rubble and fragments of various soul tools.

However, when they saw someone standing there, and recognized that the figure as Hu Jie, the person in charge of the Tang Sect of the Star Luo Continent, and then saw the style of those soul guide fragments, everyone understood everything. No one spoke, but they could all see a deep meaning in each other's eyes.
