Chapter 215

Probably by the time Davis realizes something is wrong, it's already too late.

After another half month, Xue Ba first broke the stalemate of the forces; he launched an attack on towns not yet fully controlled by the Spirit Hall Empire, and beforehand he also launched a public opinion attack on the cities.

At this moment, Xue Ba stood on the battlefield, his eyes revealing helplessness; it was not that he wanted to fight, but the Earth Fire wanted him to fight.

The Tian Dou Empire ultimately did not suffer total defeat at the hands of Xue Qing He, yet it also did not recover in his hands; from beginning to end, I was merely someone else's pawn.

The ultimate outcome of this war will be only one side's victory; but it will absolutely not be the victory of the Tian Dou Empire's Xue family.

Being able to preserve my own life and my sister Xue Ke's life is already Xue Ba's greatest satisfaction.

The Tian Dou Empire may fall, but the Xue family remains.

Among these major forces that have taken action, he could never understand why the Star Luo Empire's move was so feeble.

Finally, Xue Ba did not awaken until he ceased striving to revive the Tian Dou Empire and to re-establish the glory of the Xue family.

The Breaking Heaven Sect does not enter the fray, but who can guarantee it will never do so? Thinking this way, it seems the Tian Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Spirit Hall Empire have been constantly consuming their own strength.

Only the Breaking Heaven Sect waits at ease, sitting on the fishing terrace watching everyone fight to the death; yet clearly the strongest force is the Breaking Heaven Sect.

Thinking this, Xue Ba suddenly awakened.

I can think of this point; could Bibi Dong and the Star Luo Empire possibly not think of it?

Perhaps the terror of the Breaking Heaven Sect causes these people to unconsciously overlook this fact.

As long as I do not expose this bubble, the Breaking Heaven Sect will not enter the fray; the game of contending for the world can continue.

What Xue Ba doesn't know is that Bibi Dong's ultimate goal is to destroy the Spirit Hall that the Qian Xun Ji Qian Jia family has always maintained and taken pride in.

The Star Luo Empire's purpose is to unify the continent, then gradually drain the foundation of the Breaking Heaven Sect.

Not a single person among these factions is normal.

Adding the Earth Fire organization behind me, who knows if there aren't other forces behind Earth Fire? What if there really are?

Or perhaps Earth Fire is merely an emerging force?

Xue Ba rubbed his brow; everything was too perplexing; he could not see clearly nor understand.

All we can do is take it step by step.

As long as I and my sister Xue Ke stay alive, that's enough.

Now it's no longer up to me to sway the situation's development; I am utterly a puppet; the only leverage is that I still bear the surname 'Xue'! If I die, Xue Ke will succeed me as the puppet.

"Your Majesty, we now have a great advantage; should we continue advancing?" At that moment, a general came to Xue Ba's side to report the battle situation.

Xue Ba's eyes flashed for a moment, then returned to calm: 'Of course we should, pursue the victory and reclaim all the territory belonging to our Tian Dou Empire.'

"Yes!" The general, unusually excited, went down.

And he proclaimed that the entire army had won a great victory in this battle.

Only Xue Ba clearly knows that his purpose in coming out is to consume the Spirit Hall Empire's manpower; victory? Merely temporary.

Star Dou Great Forest.

Bibi Dong finally saw spider webs covering the last monster tower; at this moment, Bibi Dong felt as if she had returned home, filled with a sense of intimacy.

Hu Liena also said somewhat excitedly, 'This is really too fitting; it's practically a monster tower naturally existing for our teacher; all are arachnid spirit beasts.' The Ghost Douluo slowly emerged from the darkness.

His voice could not conceal his delight: 'Your Holiness the Pope, they are the Death Spider Emperor and the Earth Hole Spider Emperor; I have seen no fewer than ten arachnid spirit beasts with cultivation over eighty thousand years around the monster tower.'

Moreover, according to my observation, there seem to be several layers at the tower's base; it might house hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts; I estimate that the closer to the tower, the higher the cultivation and status of the spirit beasts.

The spirit beasts inside the tower are very likely all over a hundred thousand years old.

Bibi Dong nodded slightly.

Now it's not a question of whether the spirit beasts in the tower have hundred-thousand-year cultivation; it's about how I can kill those hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts under the noses of so many high-cultivation spirit beasts.

And to absorb those spirit beasts' spirit rings and spirit bones safely and intact.

With my strength and the two poles' stagnant domains of the Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, killing those few hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts is not difficult; the difficulty lies in afterward smoothly absorbing these spirit rings.

"Withdraw! Return to summon more Title Douluo, but before that we need to resolve a trouble; follow me to Qingyue City, Xue Ba actually attacked our city while we were away."

"This time we must behead Xue Ba."

At Bibi Dong's command, everyone turned and headed toward Qingyue City.

Qingyue City is the next city Xue Ba's army will attack; in recent times they have already taken three cities in succession.

The army's morale was at its peak, everyone eager to make achievements.

What these people don't know is that after initially being caught off guard, the Spirit Hall Empire has freed up its hands to mobilize troops; meanwhile, the Spirit Hall's Pope Bibi Dong personally led two Title Douluo to the battlefield.

After this battle, the continent's situation is likely to undergo another major change.

Xue Ba has already felt it.

From today onward, the wounded and some important officers in the army have already received boxed meals; even the corpses cannot be found.

The dead are all the personal guards of those ministers whom he had divided from the Tian Dou Empire.

Watching the troops charging forward collapse in pools of blood, Xue Ba closed his eyes unwillingly.

"Xue Ba, after the corrupt nobles and personal guards of the Tian Dou Empire are wiped clean, I will find you and Xue Ke a place where no one knows you to start a new life."

"So your heart must be ruthless, don't be hesitant and indecisive, understand?" The incarnation of A Luo as the Blaze Fire Douluo, wearing a mask, spoke these icy words.

Recalling this now, Xue Ba feels a chill all over; that person's gaze is indifferent to life, showing no reverence for it whatsoever.

What are these people in the eyes of the Blaze Fire Douluo? Yet Xue Ba hasn't the slightest recollection that, when he himself was a spoiled aristocrat earlier, those innocent commoners amounted to what? Is only a noble's life considered life!

Heaven's way cycles; heaven spares none; good and evil eventually meet their reward.

But it's not heaven's doing; it's human calamity.

At this moment, the Breaking Heaven Sect.

Yang Yun held in his hand the news that Bibi Dong had reappeared from the Star Dou Great Forest and was heading toward Qingyue City.

At the same time, Xue Ba had taken three cities in a row during this period, and the Star Luo Empire, taking advantage of the chaos, also began attacking the Spirit Hall Empire and had taken two cities.

In the end, the Star Luo Empire could not compare with the support of Earth Fire.
