Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 324 The Demise of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School (Part 1)

After making her final arrangements, Qian Renxue used her soul power to seal her aura, making it appear as if she were passing away.

"His Majesty!"

When the emperor died, everyone present, whether their grief was genuine or feigned, wept in unison.

Xiao Yu wiped away two non-existent tears, walked up to Ge Long, and said in a deep voice, "Marshal Ge Long, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has long been entrenched within the empire's borders. With its vast resources and influence, it is impossible for them to relocate in a short time. I will go and intercept these rebellious traitors. There may still be some petty villains remaining in the palace. You will lead the troops to clean them up."

"I obey the Regent's decree!"

Golong nodded. This veteran minister, who had served the Heaven Dou Empire for decades, regarded Xiao Yu as the last hope of the royal family. He kindly reminded Xiao Yu, "The Bone Douluo who fought the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School just now did not appear. He must have stayed at the sect. Your Highness, it is highly likely that you will encounter the Sword Bone Douluo joining forces on your journey there. Please be careful, Your Highness."

If Ge Long knew that the royal family he served had been replaced by Xiao Yu and Qian Renxue years ago, he would probably be so angry that he would die.

After leaving the Heaven Dou Imperial City, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Ning Rongrong did not return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Instead, they released a burst of emergency retreat fireworks and fled towards the Star Luo Empire.

Ning Fengzhi was a shrewd man who liked to leave himself a backup plan. He couldn't possibly not consider the consequences of failing in such a momentous undertaking as assassinating the emperor.

Therefore, as early as when he set off, he had already made an agreement with Bone Douluo, who was staying behind at the sect, that if things went wrong, they would use fireworks as a signal to immediately organize a full retreat of the sect.

Having learned from the painful lesson of the Spirit Hall's surprise attack that nearly wiped out his sect, Ning Fengzhi built several secret passages leading directly outside the city when he re-established his sect in Heaven Dou City. After receiving the message to retreat, Bone Douluo left only a few servants outside to confuse the audience, while most of the sect's disciples immediately transferred through the secret passages and left Heaven Dou City.

"Faster, speed it up!"

Under Bone Douluo's stern reprimand, the nearly one thousand disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, mostly elderly, weak, sick, and disabled, gritted their teeth and hurried on their way. Just as dawn was breaking, they arrived at a valley more than a hundred miles from Heaven Dou City.

This is also the meeting place that Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo had agreed upon beforehand.

Inside the valley, Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong, and Sword Douluo had been eagerly waiting.

Sword Douluo only brought Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong with him, unlike Bone Douluo who brought his family and a large army to migrate. With his speed as a Title Douluo, he had arrived several hours earlier, and even his soul power had been restored to its best state.

"Uncle Bone, you've arrived!"

When Ning Fengzhi saw Bone Douluo and the others arrive, he quickly greeted them with a smile.

"Fengzhi, where are the others?"

When Bone Douluo saw that there were only Ning Fengzhi and two others, he frowned and a bad feeling arose in his heart.

Bone Douluo's question immediately stirred up Ning Fengzhi's pain. He shook his head painfully: "They're all gone. Xue Qinghe seemed to have discovered our plan a long time ago. As soon as we entered the palace, we were surrounded by a large army led by Ge Long. Later, Xiao Yu also arrived with a group of Nine Star Palace experts. When Uncle Jian saw that the situation was not good, he immediately led Rongrong and me to escape."

"What?"

Bone Douluo was initially taken aback, but then secretly rejoiced, saying, "Thanks to Feng Zhi for your foresight in building the secret escape route, otherwise we would have been surrounded by the Heaven Dou Empire's army as soon as we retreated!"

Ning Fengzhi nodded in agreement. Since Xue Qinghe had already discovered their scheme, it was highly likely that he would deploy a large force around the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Thinking about it this way, Ning Fengzhi's mood improved a little, and he said, "As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. As long as the flame of the sect is still burning, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will rise again one day."

Although those who remained were mostly the elderly, women, and children, many of them possessed the inherited bloodline of powerful martial souls. Moreover, Sword Bone Douluo was still alive, as was Ning Rongrong, the sect's most outstanding prodigy. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School hadn't yet reached the point of desperation. The only thing that Ning Fengzhi regretted was the loss of Oscar, the unprecedented food-type genius soul master.

"Is that so? What a pity, Ning Fengzhi, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will never see that day again!"

Just then, a cold voice suddenly came from high in the sky, and Xiao Yu, dressed in black military uniform, had somehow appeared and was now suspended in the sky above them.

"Xiao Yu, what are you doing here?"

Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, Sword Douluo, and Ning Rongrong all changed their expressions at the same time, seemingly unable to believe what they were seeing.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Thousand Nether Sword Techniques!"

Xiao Yu had no obligation to answer Ning Fengzhi and the others. His fourth soul ring flashed, and countless phantoms of sharp swords appeared around him, completely enveloping the crowd below like a torrential downpour.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Swords rained down, and amidst the deafening explosions, countless disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School fell to the ground, wailing as they were struck by swords.

Blood and mud mingled together, and in just a short time, nearly a third of the nearly one thousand-strong team had been lost.

"Fengzhi, quickly lead everyone away, I'll hold him off!"

With a roar, Bone Douluo released his nine spirit rings, one of which, a black one, lit up.

The space in front of Bone Douluo distorted for a moment, and the space in front of Xiao Yu opened up, from which a huge bone dragon with a body length of more than 20 meters pounced out, waving its dragon claws and heading straight for Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu held the Hades Sword horizontally in front of him, and then thrust it out horizontally.

boom!

The dragon claw and the sharp sword collided head-on, and a terrifying energy shockwave erupted from the point of impact, sweeping down and shattering countless thick, towering trees in the valley, leaving only their roots. The weaker soul masters were also forced to their knees, bleeding from their mouths and noses, suffering serious injuries.

At the heart of the battle, Xiao Yu remained unmoved, while the giant bone dragon, the Bone Douluo incarnate, was sent flying backward, with multiple bone fractures appearing between the claw that struck and its abdomen.

"roar!"

Bone Douluo seemed unwilling to accept this outcome, roaring in frustration as he charged towards Xiao Yu.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Xiao Yu let out a cold shout, and his right arm burst forth with intense light. A huge, jet-black dragon claw appeared in the void and headed towards the bone dragon.

The Soul Bone Skill of the Right Arm, which has existed for 100,000 years, is activated: Netherworld Dragon Claw.

boom!

Another earth-shattering collision resounded as the Nether Dragon Claw tore through the bone dragon's defenses in an instant, slamming heavily onto the bone dragon's head.

Instantly, a huge gash appeared on the skull dragon's head, and blood gushed out like a fountain. Its massive body plummeted from the sky like a falling rock, crashing into the ground and creating a large crater, with half of its body embedded in the earth.
