Chapter 219 The Great Battle in the Canyon! Four Title Douluos?
Just as all the carriages of the Tiandou Empire's participating teams entered the narrowest and most dangerous section of the Hulukou Canyon, an unexpected event occurred!
"Boom—!!"
"Snap—!!"
A series of loud roars and the sound of rocks shattering came from the top of the cliff!
Immediately afterwards, countless rocks, some as big as millstones or even larger, were pushed and rolled down from the towering cliffs on both sides as if they had been freed from their restraints!
These boulders, with immense force, crashed down like meteors falling from the sky, emitting a heart-stopping howl, before crashing down on the long convoy at the bottom of the canyon!
"Not good! Enemy attack! Everyone on alert!" Upon seeing this, the captain of the Royal Knights reacted extremely quickly, immediately letting out a roar like thunder.
Upon hearing this, the well-trained Royal Knights soldiers reacted instantly!
Although they were shocked, they did not panic. Almost instinctively, they raised their heavy shields high above their heads, pouring their soul power into them, and the surface of the shields gleamed faintly!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!"
The next moment, the boulder and the shield collided violently.
Like a dense drumbeat, it echoed wildly through the canyon!
Instantly, the entire canyon was filled with flying rocks and billowing dust!
The immense impact from the sky caused some of the weaker knights' arms to go numb, and some were even knocked to the ground along with their shields. However, the overall defensive formation managed to hold up for a moment, buying precious reaction time for the carriages and soul master students below.
However, this is just the beginning!
Rumble!!!
The final wave of boulders rolled down, billowing dust, and piled up heavily at the entrance and exit of the canyon, completely blocking the roads ahead and behind, turning this team of over a thousand people into a sitting duck.
A moment later, the billowing smoke and dust above the canyon gradually dissipated.
On the towering cliffs on both sides, hundreds of masked men dressed in black stood silently, their cold eyes peering through their masks at the chaotic convoy below.
"Oh no! Protect the participating trainees! Form ranks!"
Seeing this scene before him, the captain of the Royal Knights' expression changed drastically. He roared with all his might, his voice filled with despair.
The number of enemies before him far exceeded his expectations, and they were clearly not ordinary bandits!
However, his order had only just been issued.
At the top of the cliff, the masked man in black, who appeared to be the leader and possessed the most profound and terrifying aura, simply waved his hand casually and coldly shouted:
"kill--!"
As his words fell to the ground.
Instantly, dozens of men in black transformed into blurry shadows, leaping down from the cliff with a sharp whooshing sound, or using protruding rocks as cover, and like ghosts, they charged into the Royal Knights' defensive formation!
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The sounds of clashing souls, weapons clashing, and screams instantly filled the air!
The battle erupted in an instant and immediately escalated to a fever pitch!
The Royal Knights' soldiers were indeed well-trained, and many of them were Soul Masters with considerable individual strength. However, they were facing an attacker who had planned the attack in advance and was clearly superior in strength!
These black-clad soul masters worked in perfect harmony, their soul skills were ruthless and cunning. Often, in groups of two or three, they could easily tear through the Royal Knights' defenses. Wherever they went, men and horses fell, and blood splattered everywhere!
The Royal Knights' defenses were being compressed and cut apart at a visible speed!
They fought desperately, but they still couldn't stop these ravenous men in black from rushing toward the carriages carrying the elites from various academies!
at the same time.
On the other side of the canyon, the group of black-clad Soul Masters who appeared first, their bodies crackling with electricity, were also caught off guard by this sudden attack and were stunned.
"Vice Chieftain, what... what's going on?"
One of the men in black couldn't help but whisper to the old man beside him, who was respectfully addressed as the deputy clan chief, his voice filled with confusion.
"Wasn't the plan to wait for Tang Hao to make the first move, and then take advantage of the chaos to act? How come... how come there are other people here?"
As he spoke, he gazed at the black-clad men below, each with their own unique martial spirit and fierce attacks, and speculated, "These people...could they be from the Clear Sky Sect? Here to meet Tang Hao?"
"Are you stupid!" Upon hearing this, the masked old man's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. He rebuked him in a low voice, his tone tinged with annoyance, and said:
"Open your eyes and look carefully! The martial souls of those people below are all over the place, with chaotic attributes. Where is there even a trace of the Clear Sky Hammer's supreme power and ferocity? How could they possibly be from the Clear Sky Sect?!"
The man in black, who had been reprimanded, shrank back and dared not make any more wild guesses.
The masked old man's gaze swept over the chaotic battlefield below with a sinister look. A deep glint flashed in his eyes. The fact that such a large number of Soul Masters could be mobilized at once to organize such an audacious attack against the Empire's participating team must be due to the powerful forces behind it...
"The one with such ambition and boldness... it must be the Spirit Hall!" The masked old man slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity.
"The Spirit Hall?!" Upon hearing this, the man in black beside him couldn't help but gasp, clearly shocked by the answer.
"Then... Vice Chieftain, should we make our move now? The target is in the carriage below."
Upon hearing this, the masked old man's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He quickly weighed the situation, then shook his head, rejecting the suggestion to act immediately, and said calmly:
"Don't worry! Tianxing Academy has the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo in charge."
"Although I, along with several other elders, am confident that we can hold him off, the sudden appearance of the Spirit Hall has made the situation even more complicated."
"In that case... let's wait!"
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Let the Spirit Hall's people engage Dugu Bo first, let them wear each other down, let the waters be thoroughly stirred up, and then we... will make our move!"
Their Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family is all about being the most patient bird in the dark!
…………
Meanwhile, in the canyon battlefield below.
After the black-clad spirit masters from the Spirit Hall swiftly broke through the Royal Knights' defenses, their objective was clear. The vast majority of them, like sharks smelling blood, charged straight towards the location of the Skywalk Academy's carriage, clearly having planned this in advance.
"Kid, looks like these guys are after you!"
As the black-clad Soul Masters surged in like a tide, Dugu Bo, who was guarding the carriage of Tianxing Academy, changed his expression slightly and turned to Tang Chuan, who was calm beside him.
In his view, such precise targeting was by no means accidental.
However, faced with such a perilous situation, Tang Chuan showed no panic whatsoever. Instead of anger, he smiled, a cold and battle-ready smile curving his lips, and said in a deep voice:
"Good timing!"
"Since they dare to come, then kill them all!"
"This time, I'll teach them a lesson they won't forget! I'll show them the price of messing with me! I'll make sure they never dare to mess with me again!"
With a light clench of his fist, his clear voice carried an aura of dominance over the world. Immediately, a vast and boundless soul power erupted from his body!
The next second, two purple and three black spirit rings, five extraordinary spirit rings, instantly spiraled up from Tang Chuan's feet, emitting a heart-palpitating pressure. In particular, the three deep black ten-thousand-year spirit rings made the black-clad men rushing over hold their breath!
He slammed his palm forward onto the ground.
Instantly, countless Blue Silver Emperor Vines shimmered with a blue-gold luster.
Like living tentacles, it spread rapidly forward in a fan shape along the ground, centered on his palm, sweeping away the enemy!
"Puff puff puff puff—!"
These blue-gold vines did not attack haphazardly, but skillfully avoided their own people, and then precisely wrapped around and pierced the black-clad soul masters who were rushing towards them!
Just as Tang Chuan's Blue Silver Emperor Vines, brimming with boundless life force, surged forth like a raging tide, the others from Tianxing Academy also sprang into action!
"Seven treasures transform into crystal!"
"First: Strength! Second: Speed! Third: Spirit! Fourth: Control!"
The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda in Ning Rongrong's hand shone brightly, and several dazzling rays of light were precisely projected onto Xiao Ruier, Dugu Yan, and the Shi brothers, causing their aura to surge instantly!
Among them, the most dazzling was Xiao Ruier!
After receiving Ning Rongrong's boost, her strength and speed experienced a terrifying increase.
She didn't even use any soul skills; she simply shot into the crowd of people in black like a golden lightning bolt!
Xiao Ruier's fighting style is very simple and brutal, yet so efficient it's breathtaking!
Facing a Soul King wielding a large sword, she neither dodged nor evaded, but met the attack head-on with her fist, which was covered in a faint golden light!
With a resounding punch, the high-quality broadsword, along with its owner, was sent flying backward, his chest caved in, and he was clearly beyond saving.
Xiao Ruier didn't even glance at the other agility-type Soul King who tried to launch a sneak attack from the flank. She grabbed the gleaming dagger with her bare hands and twisted it sharply!
"Snap!"
The dagger broke instantly.
At the same time, her left fist, like a cannonball, landed squarely on the Soul King's abdomen, causing him to arch his body like a shrimp, spitting blood and collapsing to the ground.
And this is not even her strongest state!
The next second, a flash of golden light appeared, and a long spear, entirely golden in color, seemingly made of pure energy, with dragon-shaped patterns coiled around its shaft, appeared in her hand—the Golden Dragon Spear!
With her spear in hand, Xiao Ruier's momentum surged even higher!
Immediately afterwards, she moved like a tiger among sheep, thrusting, sweeping, and parrying with her spear!
A spear thrust out.
A Soul King who activated his defensive Soul Skill had his shield and body pierced through!
A single shot swept across the battlefield.
The three men in black who tried to surround them were broken in half as if struck by a giant tree!
A single upward thrust.
A flying-type martial soul master who swooped down from the sky was directly knocked away, his blood splattering across the sky!
One punch, one shot, one kill!
Faced with her absolute power and unparalleled sharpness of the Golden Dragon Spear, these formidable black-clad soul masters were utterly defeated, like clay chickens and earthenware dogs, unable to fight back and forced to retreat in defeat!
Seeing his elite troops suffer heavy casualties under the counterattack of Xiao Ruier and the Tianxing Academy members, the black-clad leader, who had been observing coldly and whose aura was the most profound, changed his expression slightly and said coldly, "A mere Soul King, yet so powerful! You cannot be allowed to live!"
He clearly hadn't expected that the teammate next to his target would be so strong.
Especially that blonde woman, her strength far exceeded expectations!
"We can't wait any longer!"
With a low shout, the black-clad soul master leader flashed and disappeared from his original spot as if by teleportation, while letting out a sharp and piercing long cry, like an eagle's cry echoing through the sky!
"Buzz—!"
The next second, a powerful surge of soul power erupted!
Two yellow, two purple, and four black spirit rings—a total of eight—spiked upwards from beneath his feet, radiating a powerful aura befitting a Soul Douluo!
Immediately afterwards, the phantom of a giant eagle, its entire body shimmering with golden light, appeared and disappeared behind him, its outstretched wings seemingly capable of blotting out the sky!
Having completed the spirit possession, the black-clad spirit master leader transformed into a golden streak of light, moving at an unimaginable speed, his target being Xiao Ruier, who was wreaking havoc in the crowd!
However, just as the golden light he transformed into was about to approach Xiao Ruier, a dark green figure appeared beside him without warning, like a ghost!
It was none other than Poison Douluo Dugu Bo!
"court death!"
Dugu Bo didn't even release his martial spirit; he just let out a furious roar.
As this angry shout rang out, his seemingly thin hand suddenly carried a terrifying force at the level of a Title Douluo, striking first and then slapping the Golden Eagle Soul Douluo hard across the face like swatting a fly!
"Bang—!!!"
A deafeningly loud bang resounded!
Golden Eagle Soul Douluo couldn't even make any effective block or dodge.
He felt an irresistible force, mixed with a chilling poison that froze his soul power, instantly sweeping over his entire body!
The next second, Golden Eagle Soul Douluo was hit head-on by a meteorite. He flew backward like a broken sack at an even faster speed than when he came. He drew a messy arc in the air and finally crashed heavily onto the hard ground dozens of meters away!
"boom!"
The impact created a shallow crater in the ground, kicking up clouds of dust!
The Golden Eagle Soul Douluo lay in the pit, his bones broken in countless places. A clear, dark purple handprint marked his face, and black blood kept oozing from his mouth and nose. His body was convulsing, barely breathing, and he had completely lost his fighting ability.
A slap!
Just one slap!
A Soul Douluo was so utterly helpless in front of a Title Douluo!
This scene instantly stunned everyone present! The men in black who had been attacking frantically froze, their eyes filled with fear and horror!
Is the power of a Title Douluo really this terrifying?
As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, everyone stared intently and gasped in shock!
In the shallow pit, the Golden Eagle Soul Douluo lay motionless, blood flowing from his seven orifices, with no trace of life force remaining.
This Contra-level powerhouse was actually killed by Dugu Bo with a single slap?!
The difference between a Title Douluo and a Soul Douluo, seemingly only one Soul Ring, is actually worlds apart! Before Dugu Bo, who was going all out, even a Soul Douluo was like an ant!
"Loldira was...killed?!"
"Run!"
"He's a Title Douluo!"
The other black-clad soul masters were terrified when they saw their leader's miserable death; their faces turned ashen.
The fierce aura that had just been there crumbled instantly, leaving only boundless fear!
Someone shouted, and the rest of the people, like startled birds, no longer cared about their mission and turned to scatter and flee in panic!
"Hmph! Want to leave now? Too late!"
Seeing this, Dugu Bo's eyes surged with killing intent. Now that he had already made a move, how could he let these small fry who dared to attack the people he was protecting leave?
He didn't even move a step; a glint flashed in his emerald green pupils, and he gently waved his withered hand at the fleeing men in black.
"call--!"
Instantly, a dense, impenetrable emerald-green poisonous fog, like a living tide of death, swept silently yet swiftly towards the fleeing men in black!
Where the poisonous fog passed.
Even the air hissed and corroded, and the grass and trees on the ground withered and turned to ashes in an instant!
"ah--!!!"
"No!!"
"Help me..."
The moment these men in black were touched by the poisonous fog, they let out a shrill, inhuman scream!
Immediately afterwards, their bodies were as if they had been doused with strong acid; their skin, muscles, and bones rapidly dissolved and rotted at a speed visible to the naked eye!
In just a few breaths, these dozens of men in black who tried to escape, along with their clothes and weapons, were completely turned into pools of foul-smelling pus and blood in the emerald green poisonous fog, seeping into the ground, and in the end, not even their bones were left!
The wind blows.
The poisonous fog slowly dissipated, leaving behind only patches of charred remains and a nauseating stench.
The attackers, who had been shouting and were numerous just moments before, were completely wiped out and their bodies were left behind without a trace in the blink of an eye by Dugu Bo!
The wrath of a titled Douluo left dozens of corpses and rivers of blood flowing!
Just then, a soft, high-pitched voice, tinged with affectation, drifted down from the sky like an invisible thread:
"Yo! Old Poisoner, I didn't expect your strength to have improved so much in just a few years? Killing a Soul Douluo with a single slap, that's quite a show of power."
Immediately afterwards, a figure clad in magnificent golden armor, with a graceful figure like a woman, slowly descended from mid-air. Golden petals swirled around him, and although his posture appeared very elegant, he exuded a powerful sense of oppression.
At the same time, nine spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—slowly spiraled upwards from beneath his feet as if they possessed life, radiating the immense pressure befitting a Title Douluo!
Seeing that familiar yet repulsive figure appear, a flash of understanding and undisguised disgust crossed Dugu Bo's eyes. He gave a cold snort and said:
"Chrysanthemum Pass! I knew it was you bunch of persistent bastards causing trouble!"
As he spoke, he stepped forward, poisonous mist swirling around him, and pointed at Chrysanthemum Douluo without any politeness, "You dare to attack someone from my Heavenly Path Academy? Your Spirit Hall is getting more and more audacious! Do you really think I, the principal, don't exist?"
"You've angered me, believe me or not, I'll rush up to you right now and rip your ass apart?!"
Although his words were crude and vulgar, they perfectly reflected his ambiguous nature, which allowed him to act solely on his likes and dislikes, and they directly struck a nerve with Chrysanthemum Douluo.
"Damn it! Don't you dare call me Chrysanthemum Guan!" Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's enchanting face twisted with extreme anger as she shrieked.
This nickname was the greatest taboo and humiliation for him!
In a fit of rage, Chrysanthemum Douluo's hand flashed with golden light, and the magnificent Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum Martial Soul instantly transformed into a golden flying knife with sharp golden light flowing around its edge. Then, with a sharp whistling sound that tore through space, it shot directly toward Dugu Bo's face!
"Hmph, do you think I'm afraid of you?!"
Seeing his opponent make a move, Dugu Bo was not afraid at all. He let out a long howl and his figure flashed like a ghost. Instead of retreating, he advanced and went straight to meet the opponent!
As he charged forward, a terrifying aura, far more powerful and ancient than before, erupted from his body!
A beam of emerald green light shot into the sky and rapidly gathered behind him!
Its martial spirit is no longer that cold and sinister Azure Phosphorous Serpent King.
Instead, it was a larger, more majestic dragon, covered in jade-like scales, with a single horn on its head and claws protruding from its belly!
"roar--!"
The next second, the illusory Azure Dragon let out a deafening roar, carrying the majestic dragon might that could crush all poisons, and crashed fiercely into the golden flying knife!
BOOM—! BOOM! BOOM!
The golden, sharp blade light and the emerald green dragon shadow collided violently in mid-air without any fancy moves, instantly producing a tremendous, earth-shattering roar!
The terrifying energy collision seemed to distort the surrounding space!
A powerful ripple, visible to the naked eye, mixed with sharp metal-type soul power and corrosive poisonous energy, swept out in all directions like a tsunami from the point of collision, instantly turning some nearby rubble and corpses into dust!
However, this seemingly evenly matched clash lasted for less than a moment!
The next moment, to Ju Douluo Yue Guan's incredulous gaze, his invincible Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum Flying Knife actually seemed to have crashed into an ancient mountain, its golden light instantly dimming and dissipating!
He himself was shaken by the overwhelming and tyrannical power of the Azure Dragon that followed, causing his blood to surge and his body to fly backward uncontrollably. He staggered for more than ten meters in the air before he could barely regain his balance!
"What?!"
With a furious roar, Chrysanthemum Douluo abruptly raised his head, staring intently at the Azure Phosphorous Divine Dragon behind Dugu Bo, whose dragon might even made his own martial soul tremble. His face was filled with extreme shock and horror, and he said incredulously:
"You old poisoner! You... how did your martial spirit... change from a snake to a dragon?!"
This sudden evolution of his martial soul completely overturned Chrysanthemum Douluo's understanding.
At the same time, his heart sank instantly. What he thought was a sure thing had turned into a huge variable due to the opponent's strange surge in strength!
"Hahaha! Chrysanthemum Pass, do you still think I'm the Dugu Bo you used to hunt down?" Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo let out a hearty laugh, filled with the exhilaration of triumph.
"Today, I'm going to show you just how powerful I am!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than his figure flashed again, and the phantom of the Azure Phosphorous Dragon roared behind him, carrying a monstrous poisonous mist and dragon might, and pounced directly at Chrysanthemum Douluo, who had just regained his footing!
Its momentum far surpasses that of the past!
Seeing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression changed drastically again. He didn't have time to think about the reason for Dugu Bo's martial soul evolution. While retreating rapidly, he shouted angrily at the person in mid-air:
"You bastard! Aren't you going to make a move?!"
"Do you only feel comfortable watching this old poisoner torture me?!"
Along with his urgent and angry shouts, a clear, ethereal voice, seemingly untouched by worldly concerns, echoed softly in the air:
"Tsk..."
The next second, the space in front of Chrysanthemum Douluo rippled slowly like water.
A black figure, completely blending into the shadows and indistinct in shape, silently emerged, as if he had always been standing there—it was none other than Ghost Douluo, Ghost Phantom.
Ghost Douluo's gaze, hidden in the shadows, seemed to sweep over the charging Dugu Bo. His voice remained calm and even, yet carried a subtle hint of gravity as he said:
"I never imagined that the old poison master we chased to the brink of death back then would become as strong as you and me today."
His tone carried a hint of wistfulness about the unpredictability of life.
Having said that, Ghost Douluo no longer hesitated.
The black mist around him suddenly surged, and his whole body transformed into a twisted and unpredictable black shadow, moving with incredible speed, as if shuttling between reality and illusion, and went straight to meet Dugu Bo who was rushing towards him!
boom--!!!
The full-force collision of the three Title Douluos instantly unleashed a deafening roar far more terrifying than before! The raging energy turbulence, like an out-of-control tornado, ravaged the canyon, tearing the ground open with ravines, and countless fragments of rock were swept into the air and then turned into dust!
however.
The outcome of this collision was completely different from the previous ones!
Facing both Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, even after his martial soul evolved, Dugu Bo could no longer gain the upper hand under their combined and well-coordinated attacks!
"roar--"
The emerald green dragon phantom, under the impact of the golden and black energy torrent, let out a defiant roar, its light flashing violently, and was actually suppressed and forced back!
Dugu Bo himself let out a muffled groan, his body uncontrollably staggering backward more than ten steps, each step leaving a deep footprint on the hard ground.
He faced two opponents alone, the Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo, with whom he had worked for many years.
Even Dugu Bo, whose strength had greatly improved, was instantly at a disadvantage!
However, misfortunes never come singly!
Just as Dugu Bo was defeated and his breathing had not yet calmed down...
"roar--!"
A wild and powerful bear roar suddenly rang out from the left side of the Tianxing Academy camp. Immediately afterwards, a terrifying pressure as heavy as a mountain descended like a volcanic eruption!
At the same time, a figure with lightning speed and a black mask appeared on the right side of the Tianxing Academy carriage!
The man on the left was extremely burly and strong, with bulging muscles and a head of wild golden hair that flowed like a lion's mane. His eyes burned with a violent fighting spirit. It was none other than Demon Bear Douluo!
The man on the right was lean and agile, with sharp eyes like knives, and his aura was like a cheetah lurking in the shadows. It was none other than Ghost Leopard Douluo!
Four Title Douluos!
Chrysanthemum, Oni, Demon Bear, Demon Leopard!
At this moment, they were like four insurmountable mountains, surrounding the Tianxing Academy students and Dugu Bo from four directions, leaving no way out!
