Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

"broken--"

With a roar, he grabbed the massive hammer handle and slammed it down, making the impact even more domineering and powerful.

"cut!"

Instead of retreating, Chen Xin charged forward, braving the immense pressure to reach the Haotian Hammer that had not yet fully crashed down. He swung the Seven Kill Sword, which contained all the compressed power, and slashed in reverse with the motion of a sword-drawing technique.

Without any sword energy enhancement, the sword blade slashed straight into the thick hammer face, then cut out, and then continued to slash, as if it were about to shatter the Haotian Hammer.

Although both involve breaking the spirit rings and integrating them into the martial soul, the Great Sumeru Hammer uses that power to amplify the Clear Sky Hammer. Once amplified, although the destructive power will be very strong, the strength will not increase.

In contrast, Chen Xin used all his power to strengthen the sword's strength and sharpness. In addition, the Seven Kill Sword itself incorporated a special metal into its blade, greatly increasing its strength, far surpassing that of a martial soul in energy form.

Now, with the power of the spirit rings reaching its peak, its strength and sharpness are unimaginable, surpassing even the Clear Sky Hammer.

However, compared to the Haotian Hammer that wielded the Great Sumeru Hammer, Chen Xin and the Seven Kill Sword were too insignificant, and it would take some time to carve them through.

"boom!"

The enormous Haotian Hammer crashed down, half of its shaft slamming into the ground, unleashing a powerful shockwave that caused all buildings to collapse in its wake, turning half of the imperial palace into ruins.

Unfortunately, the Tiger Roar Iron Cavalry on that side took the brunt of the shockwave, resulting in thousands of deaths and injuries on the spot. Their warhorses could no longer withstand the massive panic and ran wildly, throwing their formation into chaos.

The Snow Front Legion, surrounded in the center, was largely unaffected by the towering Tiger Roar Iron Cavalry, and even managed to launch a counterattack under Snow Battle's command.

"Sword Douluo Chen Xin is dead, attack with all your might."

Having dodged the Yuanhong Sword that attacked again, Dai Tiehu roared excitedly, no longer holding back, and commanded his army to surround and kill the Xuefeng Legion with all their might.

The remaining Soul Saints and Soul Douluos also joined the offensive once again, using their Soul Skills to launch a ranged attack on the Snow Peak Legion, which was shrouded in blood mist.

Compared to Dai Tiehu and the others, Tang Zhen, the wielder of the Haotian Hammer, had a very ugly expression, staring at the huge hammer in disbelief.

Before long, streaks of pale white sword energy suddenly slashed out from the huge hammer body, and the Haotian Hammer, which was enhanced by the secret technique of the Great Sumeru Hammer, shattered into hundreds of pieces.

"puff!"

With his martial spirit shattered, Tang Zhen, who was already suffering from internal injuries due to the forced explosion of his spirit ring, coughed up blood.

"From this day forward, the Seven Kill Sword shall be the number one offensive martial soul in the world."

He stepped out, sword in hand, his heart indifferent to worldly affairs.

Previously, when he had carved halfway with his longsword, he discovered that the Haotian Hammer was no longer stable and was obviously nearing its limit. He then unleashed sword energy to further shatter and severely damage it.

Even though Tang Zhen is a peak Douluo of level 99, it would take him quite a while to recover.

Tang Zhen, who had just recovered, was so angry upon hearing this that he couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.

"A soul bone that's 100,000 years old is truly different; it actually allows you to easily unleash the power of nine soul rings simultaneously."

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Tang Zhen was filled with envy and greed, and his murderous intent grew stronger.

He did lose this battle, but it was clear that Chen Xin was also greatly exhausted and would have a hard time withstanding the attacks of the four elders.

Sure enough, at the same time the voice rang out, four figures rushed over, dragging the huge Haotian Hammer and attacking Chen Xin together. They were the four elders of the Haotian Sect who were hiding in the dark.

They had originally planned to make their move last, but Chen Xin's strength far exceeded their expectations. Seeing that their sect leader was about to be killed, they had no choice but to show themselves and launch a siege.

Even if it's difficult to maximize benefits due to revealing themselves early, the sect leader must be protected, and Chen Xin must die.

We must not allow such a powerful enemy to live.

The outburst just now had indeed taken a toll on Chen Xin. This time, instead of continuing to fight head-on, he chose to use hit-and-run tactics to keep the four of them firmly occupied.

"Quickly finish this battle, kill!"

On the other side, Dai Tiehu, having recovered from his shock, took a deep breath and continued to command his army to encircle and kill the Xuefeng Legion.

The changes in this battle were too numerous and significant. Now, he only wanted to annihilate the Snowblade Legion as soon as possible, and then leave Tiandou City with the Snowblade Greatsword and the equipment of the Tiger Roar Iron Cavalry.

Although the Tiger Roar Iron Cavalry suffered heavy losses, compared to the heavy armor they had spent a fortune to build, human lives were worth very little. They could simply go back and recruit more.

With such a vast empire and such a large population, recruiting 200,000 strong and healthy soldiers would not be difficult.

The annihilation of the Soul Master Legion was devastating; hopefully, the resources and money plundered during this expedition will make up for that loss.

After trying to console himself, Dai Tiehu continued to command the army, but he was soon ambushed and killed by Guangling, forcing him to cooperate with the other three to attack again.

Although Guang Ling is strong, his strength is limited when he doesn't use his own martial soul. He can only rely on his speed advantage to keep the four people on their toes, especially Dai Tiehu, and prevent him from commanding the army.

Without Dai Tiehu's command, the Tiger Roar Iron Cavalry's offensive immediately weakened.

"No wonder it's the old cat that fought with Grandpa its whole life."

Feeling the pressure lessen considerably, Xue Zhan sighed, but didn't dare to stop, continuing to command the Xuefeng Legion, which had less than 40,000 men left, in battle.

Even though they had lost more than half their men, the morale and fighting spirit of the Xuefeng Legion soldiers remained high. Although they no longer had the bloodthirsty ferocity that was influenced by killing intent, they were still sustained by hope, and they had no regrets even if they died.

Furthermore, the enemy clearly intended to annihilate them. Now that they were completely surrounded, they had no choice but to fight to the death, which gave them a do-or-die spirit.

Chapter 239 Gu Rong Makes a Move

Both sides have entered a war of attrition, and at this stage it is more of a test of willpower, to see who can hold out until the end.

Although the Tiger Roar Legion has a large number of soldiers, it is limited by the terrain and cannot increase its speed. As a result, its combat power is not as good as that of the Snow Front Legion, which is an infantry force, and its casualty ratio is greater.

The fierce battle continued until sunset. He no longer commanded the battle, but personally wielded his sword to the front line, severing the horse's leg and killing the last Tiger Roar Iron Cavalryman who charged forward, thus bringing the battle to an end.

Of course, they didn't actually kill all the Tiger Roar Iron Cavalry. In the end, they couldn't hold on and 10,000 to 20,000 men fled. Even with the strict supervision of the enemy general, it was still difficult to change the overall situation. They even took off their heavy armor and ran away.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to hold out until the end.

There was no other way; the enemy had far too many men, twice the size of our forces. Even though the environment limited their combat effectiveness, they were still a force to be reckoned with.

"Soldiers, we have won!"

Turning around and looking at the hundreds of soldiers who were still barely standing, Xue Zhan laughed loudly.

Although the battles at the Title Douluo level are not yet over, they have won the battles at the mortal level.

Just as the remaining hundreds of soldiers were about to cheer, an arrow, driven by the Yin energy of the wind, pierced through their armor and entered Xue Zhan's abdomen. The whirlwind on the arrow then exploded, shredding their entire abdominal cavity.

"General!"

Hundreds of soldiers were shocked and rushed over, staggering, to support Xue Zhan, who was about to fall.

"General!"

Tian Hao, who was exchanging blows with several Soul Masters from a distance using his Killing Domain, heard the exclamation and immediately abandoned his opponents to rush over.

Upon seeing Xue Zhan's injuries, his expression changed. They were too severe. His internal organs in his entire abdominal cavity had been shredded, and his lumbar vertebrae were broken. Even the power of the God of Life could not heal such injuries.

The main problem is that he cannot perfectly control that level of power.

“You’re right. I’m not as obsessed with that position as my older brother. I can’t compete with him. Maybe coming to Tiandou City was a mistake in the first place.”

With a bitter laugh, Xue Zhan felt a pang of regret.

The acquisition of that spiritual herb sparked his ambition for that position, but unfortunately, he ultimately failed.

He recognized the arrows; they were the same ones that had attacked his father at the end of the qualifying rounds, though he hadn't managed to catch them then.

That makes sense, after all, they were trained by the eldest brother, how could their people possibly capture them?

Now the other party has their eyes on me again, and they've seized the opportunity perfectly.

"Brother, promise me one thing!"

With a blood-stained hand pressed on Tian Hao's shoulder, Xue Zhan glanced at the remaining soldiers around him.

"You said."

With reddened eyes, Tian Hao felt uneasy. After all, they had spent so much time together and had developed some feelings for each other.

I had been thinking that if I could make it to the end in this snow battle, I would settle down and live a peaceful life with my wife and children. Who would have thought that something like this would happen at the last moment?

The snowy night was too ruthless and too meticulous, giving them no chance at all!

"The Empire and I have failed these brothers, and even more so their families. Promise me you will take them away from Tiandou and live on, and never come back."

As long as they don't show up again, the snowy night won't target their families.

Furthermore, taking all the Snowblade Greatswords is still the root of the curse.

After saying that, without waiting for Tian Hao's response, Xue Zhan forced himself to raise his head and asked with a smile, "Brothers, I did what I promised you. How well have I done as a general?"

It was his great regret that he couldn't gain the approval of all his soldiers. If he could have gained their approval at the last moment of his life, he could have died in peace.

"General!"

All the soldiers knelt on one knee, demonstrating their stance through their actions.

They did harbor resentment in the past and didn't have much respect for that prince general, but today they finally acknowledge him. He is their general, their eternal general.

There was no response. Xue Zhan smiled, and his last breath ceased.

"General!"

The soldiers cried out in grief, unable to hold back their tears.

Tian Hao was also very sad, but he had more important things to do.

He stood up and looked through the blood mist of the killing field at the figures that appeared on the surrounding ruined buildings. Judging from their soul power aura, they were all from the Haotian Sect.

At the same time, four more Title Douluos appeared. Judging from their martial soul postures, they should belong to the four major families of strength, agility, defense, and destruction. The four of them worked together with perfect coordination and tightly entangled Guang Ling.

In particular, the speed of the Agile Clan member, who is known for her speed, is no less than that of the Light Feather, who has mastered the movement technique enhanced by the Light Attribute Soul Power. In fact, she is even better in terms of agility. The Light Feather, who cannot reveal her Martial Soul, cannot gain any advantage.

"They're really going for the final blow!"

With a sigh, Tian Hao gathered his killing domain, making the blood mist even denser. He then used his mental power to knock the remaining hundreds of soldiers unconscious, storing them all in his spiritual sea, especially a soul tool on Xue Zhan's body.

The Snowblade Legion had long been aware of the need to preserve the Snowblade Greatsword, and even added a space-type soul tool to the hilt, which could summon the sword into that soul tool within a certain range. That soul tool was held by successive commanders of the Snowblade Legion.

Therefore, the Snow Peak Greatsword has never been lost and has been passed down to this day.

"It's time to end this."

After glancing at Guangling and Chenxin, who were both being held back, Tian Hao swung his grass sword, condensing it into a sword qi character that he then flung into the sky. This was a pre-arranged signal between them.

After being thrown out, Tian Hao decisively activated his spatial teleportation soul bone skill, preparing to run away first.

There was no way to fight them; the Haotian Sect members around were all at least Soul Saints, so there was no way to openly charge out.

Not to mention, who knows if there are other people hiding in the shadows? At this point, using teleportation to escape is the safest option.
