Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 719 Destructive Storm (6K)

What Huo Yuhao was unaware of was that all three major underground forces valued this championship highly.

Moreover, the Ordinary Alliance and the Audu Chamber of Commerce seem to be joining forces to fight against the Xishui Alliance.

Therefore, the three parties held countless consultations regarding the format of this final match before finally reaching this conclusion: the competition would be decided based on the strength of the Soul Master representatives from both sides.

Of course, overall, the Ordinary Alliance and the Audu Chamber of Commerce still had the advantage. After all, they had six people, which made tactical arrangements much easier.

After Chen An finished his introduction, Nangong Wan's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "The three of you are representing our Xishui Alliance in this competition. We have great confidence in your abilities."

"However, you must be prepared to face two other companies simultaneously. They are very likely to tailor their tactics specifically to our side."

"Since you've contributed to our Xishui Alliance, we won't let you three work so hard for nothing. Whoever among you wins the final championship, our Xishui Alliance will provide a separate reward."

"I believe this reward is something neither the Ordinary Alliance nor the Audu Chamber of Commerce could possibly offer. Moreover, it's paid out on the spot. Someone, bring the item up."

As he spoke, Nangong Wan waved his right hand, and immediately four men in black carried a box over from the side.

Although the four men in black were all strong and robust, they seemed to have some difficulty carrying the box.

Huo Yuhao subconsciously released his mental energy to scan the box. However, his usually invincible mental energy was completely blocked when it came into contact with the seemingly heavy black box, and a portion of his mental energy was even refracted.

"Hiss—, this is…"

Huo Yuhao quickly deduced that the box contained a thick layer of lead, specifically designed to isolate various types of energy. The outer layer was also composed of a mixture of pure purple gold.

Moreover, judging from how much difficulty these strong men had to lift it, the box must weigh between 500 and 1000 jin (approximately 250-350 kg). What kind of thing is this, made of pure lead and sealed with mithril?

Not only Huo Yuhao, but even Huang Zheng, number ninety-six, stared wide-eyed at the box.

Although they lacked mental detection abilities, as Soul Masters, they were still very sensitive to metals and sensed the mithril on the box.

So precious...

The box was carried to the three people and placed down. Nangong Wan walked to the box himself, raised his right hand, and gently pressed the side of the box. Instantly, a small screen popped up, displaying many complex runes.

Nangong Wan placed his palm on the screen, his five fingers moving rapidly.

This is actually a Soul Guide Code High-Explosive Box?

The Soul Guidance Password Box is a special box sealed with a soul guide device and a special password. It can only be opened by striking the box in a pre-determined rhythm.

As for adding the word "high explosive," there's no doubt that if the password is entered incorrectly, it will detonate the high explosive soul guide device inside, resulting in a terrifying explosion.

However, generally speaking, these high-explosive boxes will allow several chances for incorrect input and will not explode on the first try. But these chances will not exceed five at most.

From the moment Nangong Wan placed his palm on the box, Huo Yuhao's mental energy was highly concentrated. Relying on his powerful mental energy, he managed to completely record the high-speed tapping frequency of Nangong Wan into his mind.

Although it may not be useful, it's always an opportunity to write it down.

The tapping lasted for about twenty seconds before Nangong Wan lifted his hand again, and the screen retracted.

With a soft "crackling" sound, the top of the box slowly cracked open, starting from the center.

The Third Elder next to Nangong Wan raised his hand, and a semi-circular protective shield enveloped everyone, including himself and the eliminated number ninety-eight, Merck.

Just as the box had only cracked open slightly, Huo Yuhao and the other two gasped again. They also understood why the Third Elder had sealed it with a protective barrier.

An indescribable aura of war and death emanated from the box almost the instant it was opened.

In an instant, apart from the Third Elder and Nangong Wan who seemed unharmed, Huo Yuhao, Huang Zheng, and Mo Ke all turned pale, their eyes revealing intense shock.

Among them, Huo Yuhao, who has the strongest mental strength, was the one who felt it the most deeply. Precisely because of his strong mental strength, he was also the one who suffered the greatest impact.

Xi Shui Meng has really gone all out!

At this point, the box had completely cracked open, revealing its interior. The interior was filled with a special stuffing material called jade glue. It was as white as jade, yet extremely tough and flexible, and was generally used as cushioning and padding.

Right in the center of those pieces of jade glue used for filling, there was something.

It is about 1.5 meters long, cylindrical, with a conical front end and a ring-shaped groove at the rear end. It is seamless, appearing as a single, unified piece. Its pale gold body is gleaming with a metallic sheen.

The violent and rampant killing intent emanated from it, and it seemed to be intensifying. Even just facing it, Huo Yuhao and the other three felt a sense of dread.

Merck swallowed hard and murmured, "This...this is..."

Huang Zheng could no longer remain calm and exclaimed, "Level nine, fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shell!"

What does a level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell mean?

Being rated as level nine means that it is a level nine soul tool. Furthermore, it is a level nine soul tool that is a one-time consumable item.

Combined with a level-nine soul-guided cannon, it can even strike across half a continent. Even without a level-nine soul-guided cannon, it can be detonated at close range, provided that the person detonating it has a way to escape instantly. Otherwise, they will surely be annihilated, body and soul.

The destructive power of a level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball is enough to make even a Super Douluo pale in fear. If an ordinary Title Douluo were to face one head-on, there would be no other possibility but death.

Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells are currently only manufactured by the Sun Moon Empire. As for the exact number, only the highest-ranking officials know, but the quantity is definitely not large.

Why do so many powerful figures from the Body Sect, Shrek Academy, and Star Luo Empire turn pale when talking about the Sun Moon Empire's blockade of Mingdu?

It's important to know that the empires planning to make a big splash in Mingdu this time include not only Xingluo and Tianhun, but also the Douling Empire. In fact, the Douling Empire has also come, or rather, the Douling Empire has handed over a trump card to the two great empires.

This trump card is a level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball that the Douling Empire acquired at a great cost a long, long time ago and has been hidden in the national treasury without ever being used.

And now, the Xishui Alliance has actually taken out one so openly!
