Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 385 458 459. The Star Luo Empire rises in a lone plume of smoke, the Empress Dowager's nuclear explosion shakes the heavens.

The Star Luo Empire mobilized at least five thousand Soul Masters this time, but most of them were providing cover, and fewer than five hundred were actually participating in the attack.

However, the strength of these five hundred people is at least at the Soul Saint level or above.

Taking advantage of the time while the Sun Moon Empire activated its protective shield, the Star Luo Empire's Soul Masters began to advance again.

This time, the resistance from the Sun Moon Empire was noticeably weaker.

The Star Luo Empire's Soul Masters have gradually forced the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master defensive positions in the Ming Dou Mountains into a position where they can use ranged attack Soul Skills.

Many high-level Soul Masters from the Star Luo Empire began to radiate intense light, with their Soul Rings shining brightly in the night sky, clearly signaling the imminent release of a ranged attack.

If even a third of these seven-ring Soul Saint level experts were able to unleash their attack power, the mountain's defenses would be severely damaged.

However... don't worry, Ye Xishui will step in at the crucial moment.

A terrifying aura emanated from the mountaintop, as if the entire world was about to be destroyed in an instant.

A beam of white light shot out without warning from the summit of the highest peak in the Mingdou Mountains.

This white light, as thick as a water vat, did not appear to have any imposing aura. Its pale color transformed into a beam of light thousands of meters long as it appeared in the air, sweeping out horizontally.

What a ray of light it was! The moment it appeared, time seemed to freeze, and wherever it passed, space was completely cleaved in two.

However, it did not exhibit the powerful suction force that usually occurs when air is torn apart, as if it had completely overwhelmed the space of another world.

Its speed was so fast that no one had time to react. The high-level Soul Masters who were suppressing the defenses of the Mingdou Mountains were now in a much denser formation than before.

The white light swept across the dense crowd.

Sky!

It was as if a rag had been wiped across the sky; wherever it passed, all life turned to nothingness and vanished into thin air.

Five hundred Soul Saints and above were all releasing their Martial Souls, and most of them were even preparing to unleash their powerful Soul Skills. After this white light swept past, more than two hundred Soul Saints disappeared forever, leaving no trace.

In an instant, the powerful legion of five hundred soul masters collapsed and fled in disarray.

The air cleared up in an instant.

Watching the retreating figures of the Star Luo Empire's Soul Masters, Qian Lingyun stretched out her right thumb to indicate a distance, and with a sinister smile, pressed the launch button for the Soul Guidance Cannon.

With a loud whoosh, a purple streak of light crossed the Sun Moon Empire's defensive positions, passed over the fleeing high-level Soul Masters, and landed right in the center of the more than four thousand mid-to-low-level Soul Masters.

A dazzling purple light flashed in the darkness, surpassing even the light of the rising sun.

The purple hemispherical halo rapidly spread outwards from the crowd, and any life enveloped by the purple halo froze in place.

Whether they are defeated and fleeing Soul Saints or Soul Douluos, or mere Soul Masters at the first or second ring level, they all have only one ending under the purple aura.

At the very top of the Mingdou Mountains, Ye Xishui stared at the figure enveloped in a purple aura, repeatedly exclaiming in admiration, "A level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon that directly affects the soul! Truly terrifying!"

Such an inspiring scene shocked everyone in the Sun Moon Empire. For a moment, even the soul tools on the defensive positions went silent!

Apart from the rising wisps of smoke, the entire battlefield was as silent as if nothing had ever happened!

Ding!

A sudden sound broke the stillness of the night sky, illuminated by purple light.

More than four thousand Soul Masters, along with the ordinary soldiers who were closer to the front, fell to the ground as the light faded.

"Huh? He's dead already?!" Wu Yun crawled out of the trench and couldn't help but rub his eyes.

"No, sister, look, they're moving!" Wu Yu pointed at the 'figures' that were slowly rising from the ground, her blood-red eyes filled with doubt and confusion.

"Everyone hide and don't make a sound!"

Qian Lingyun used mental detection to notify everyone in the defensive position.

In contrast to the desolate Mingdou Mountains, the Star Luo army, unaware of the truth, began discussing the strange events that had just occurred.

These reborn zombies were already fleeing towards Xingluo, and the intense vitality brought by the hundreds of thousands of troops further attracted the attention of these few thousand zombies!

"roar!!!"

After the first zombie regained its mobility and let out a sharp roar, more and more zombies walked on all fours and pounced on the Star Luo Empire's unsuspecting swordsmen like wild beasts.

The threat of several thousand undead creatures that walk on all fours like wild beasts is not that great, after all, Xingluo still has two Soul Master legions and the White Tiger Guards.

With the arrival of powerful Soul Masters, these thousands of undead were completely wiped out in just a quarter of an hour.

Of course, these undead still took away ten times their number of large swordsmen before they died!

After this battle, the Star Luo Empire's Soul Master force was severely weakened. Although they did not retreat, they dared not launch a large-scale counterattack again.

They could only hang up the so-called truce sign and cower in a few cities in the rear, occasionally sending a few small flies to harass the Mingdou Mountains.

For the first two days, the Sun and Moon forces didn't take these minor characters seriously, until these unlucky guys encountered the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps, who came to provide support from the heart of the Heavenly Soul Realm, on their way back.

The evil lord soul master, who was already working day and night, was seething with anger.

It should be noted that the brother units, Huanglong and the Terrorclaw Soul Master Corps, went to participate in the flanking encirclement, leaving them to rush back from the northernmost part of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

As soon as I got back, I saw these bastards running to my door looking for a beating!

After bombarding the area, the Star Luo forces left behind dozens of Soul Master corpses and fled back in a sorry state.

Imperial High Command and General Staff Frontline Command Post:

"Generals! The two armored groups have met up!"

"The crucial southern and northern pincers of this operation have now been completed! The hundreds of thousands of Xingluo troops are now ours!"

During the video conference, Qian Lingyun pointed to a large blank area in the center of the map with a long metal rod and sighed: "According to intelligence, the Star Luo Empire still has nearly 500,000 ordinary soldiers, and the number of Soul Masters is close to 8,000! Dai Hao and he are the White Tiger Guards stationed in Yuming City."

"I need armored forces to launch a surprise attack from the rear, joining forces with the Guardians of the Nation on the flanks! To completely annihilate the Star Luo Empire's resistance forces!"

The titled Douluos from the Holy Soul Hall who participated in the meeting all stood up:

"The Skeleton Soul Master Corps is ready to deploy. Rest assured, Master!" Wu Yun was the first to step forward.

Not to be outdone, Wu Yu and her sister stood up one after the other: "The Holy Soul Mentor Team is fully prepared and ready to depart. Please rest assured, Master!"

"The Thorn Rose Soul Master Corps will definitely be able to storm Yuming City, my lord!" Zhang Lexuan retorted defiantly, confronting the other Title Douluos head-on.

"Our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps can capture Dai Hao alive today, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager!"

Seeing her subordinates' high morale, Qian Lingyun couldn't help but nod slightly. She stretched out her right hand and clenched it into a fist:

"Ahead lies a plain. Now, we possess absolute air superiority. If we deliver a decisive blow, the Star Luo Empire's will to resist will snap!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will heed your words for the rest of my life." The division commander of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps and the airship commander nodded respectfully, and then began to prepare various items for bombing.

In the command tent of Yuming City, Duke Baihu's hair turned white overnight.

After a series of defeats, almost all of the elite troops of the ten Soul Master Legions, except for the two that went to aid the Heavenly Soul Empire, were wiped out, with those of the seventh ring and above almost entirely wiped out.

Several Soul Master legions were completely annihilated.

Just now, the guard he sent back to Xingluo City with his letter of apology brought him some shocking news.

My escape route has been cut off!

Just as he was pondering how to launch a counterattack, the Sun Moon Empire had already silently surrounded him.

But what puzzled him most was the enemy that appeared on his flank.

Even if they came from the Heavenly Soul Empire, they should have made some noise by now!

There are thousands of people! How did they suddenly appear without a sound?

As night fell, the only armored force in the Mingdou Mountains, the 001 Heavy Armored Battalion with Orange as its strategist, finally set off for the main battlefield.

After a brief rest, the two armored groups, totaling ten armored divisions and four soul master regiments, launched an attack from the heart of Xingluo towards Dai Hao's rear.

The "Beast King" level Soul Master Corps split into two groups with the armored forces, launching an attack from the flanks.

In the airspace of the main battlefield, airship units dropped tons of gunpowder barrels onto the ground, with the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps providing escort.

On the ground, following behind sixty-six Apocalypse Tanks were the Holy Spirit Cult's most elite evil spirit masters, who launched a surprise attack under the cover of night!

This battle is very difficult to fight. Not to mention 500,000 people, even 500,000 pigs would be hard to catch on the plains!

The Holy Servants, who came from the Holy Spirit Cult, further upheld the cult's style, laying the large-caliber soul-guided cannons, intended for siege warfare, flat and firing them horizontally...

Gradually, Qian Lingyun, who was commanding the overall situation from high above, discovered a problem: Dai Hao's rear and flank armored forces were far away, still fifty kilometers away from the Xingluo army, while her own frontal forces were attacking too quickly.

Once he realized what was happening, Duke White Tiger quickly dispatched his most prized White Tiger guards to flank him from both sides, determined to pull out Orange's aggressive, headstrong charge!

The White Tiger Guards numbered as many as 4,500. Although the most elite members remained by Dai Hao's side, together with two nearly complete Soul Master legions, they numbered a total of 5,000 Soul Masters.

Just as Qian Lingyun was still debating whether to withdraw Ju Zi's group, something terrible happened...

The evil spirit masters, who were originally marching slowly behind the Apocalypse Tanks, let out a cackling laugh. They bypassed the friendly tanks and faced off against five thousand men with only one thousand men!

At this moment, Qian Lingyun finally remembered the correct way to use the Evil Soul Master.

As everyone knows, evil spirit masters are notorious for being difficult to deal with. If four-digit evil spirit masters appear at the same time, even a Super Douluo would have to avoid their sharp edge.

Compared to the primitive, wild evil spirit masters, the Holy Spirit Cult, which benefits from the use of soul tools, combines the strengths of both soul masters and soul guides while avoiding their weaknesses.

The combination of sophisticated soul-guiding equipment, the twisted mind of the evil soul master, extreme fanaticism for killing, indomitable will, strong combat skills, and extreme loyalty to Qian Lingyun, these complex elements have created this group of psychopaths who dare to fight back against five thousand with only one thousand.

Under the cover of a small number of Apocalypse Tanks, this group of evil soul masters went into battle lightly armed, using soul skills and soul tools to engage in close-quarters combat with the White Tiger Guards.

After the soul power inside the soul tool was exhausted, they took out all kinds of melee soul tools and fought hand-to-hand with their opponents.

Even more bloodthirsty ones activate their defensive soul tools and use fixed-mount soul-guided cannons as close-range weapons to annihilate the enemy!

As the battle intensified, the 'skeleton' soldiers, possessed by the undead, even had a ghostly green light flickering in their eye sockets. Even with their heads blasted out of their brains by soul skills and their limbs blown off, they still roared and pounced on the White Tiger Guards.

They attacked with the limbs, stones, and even teeth on the ground until their own heads were completely destroyed, and their corpses continued to inflict pointless damage on everything around them.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..."

Intense roars echoed across the battlefield, and terrifying explosions accompanied by flying blood and flesh.

The corpses of the Holy Spirit Cult members exploded one after another; the power of the corpse explosions was truly immense.

The bones, muscles, and blood vessels of the corpse all became weapons in the explosion. The stronger the corpse was in life, the greater the explosive power.

In particular, the explosion of the several high-level evil soul masters killed by the titled Douluo of the Star Luo Empire felt like an earthquake.

The most terrifying thing is that the liquid produced after the explosion was extremely corrosive, like strong acid.

Even the metal armor of the Apocalypse Tank was constantly hissing from the corrosion.

Even before the battle began, the madmen of the Holy Spirit Cult had spontaneously taken drugs that could trigger corpse explosions, which completely shattered the psychological defenses of the White Tiger Guards.

Whether it was the Soul Master Legion or the White Tiger Guards who led the charge, they fled without looking back, leaving countless ordinary soldiers to face the wrath of the evil Soul Masters.

The evil spirit masters fought their way through, with hundreds of them chasing thousands of spirit masters and forcefully storming into Yuming City. Even the armored forces couldn't keep up with their speed of advance.

After entering Yuming City, the evil soul masters, relying on their extraordinary endurance, engaged in street fighting with the most elite forces of the White Tiger Guards, dragging the city out until the armored troops entered to clear it out.

The battle raged from night until noon the next day. The evil spirit masters, being seasoned CD enthusiasts, did not participate in any other activities, but simply stayed on the battlefield littered with corpses and did whatever they pleased.

Both the Holy Servant and the Guardian of the Nation ignored the Evil Soul Master's unsociable behavior.

Over a thousand evil soul masters were wiped out by 80% overnight. The Skeleton Soul Master Corps was completely wiped out, and the few survivors were all seriously injured and completely unable to participate in the next battle.
