Chapter 433: Tang San Returns, Let Bibi Dong Be My Stepping Stone

~14 min read 2,768 words

Marshal Gelong's original plan was to wear down the Spirit Empire, relying on superior national strength to crush the opponent.

But after attempting to launch attacks with the army over the past few days, the results were completely different from what they had planned.

Because there were a large number of Spirit Empire Spirit Masters inside Jialing Pass assisting in the defense,

and among them were forests of powerful experts, the casualty figures for the Tiandou Empire's grand army during the siege were quite shocking.

This was not the most important thing; most importantly, under the circumstances of their own heavy losses,

the losses inflicted upon the Spirit Empire were almost negligible.

In this way, it undoubtedly shattered Marshal Gelong's original plan.

Siege equipment was simply nothing in front of Spirit Masters,

and the losses were about the same as those of the soldiers.

Marshal Gelong had proposed leading the Spirit Master Legion to assist the grand army in charging two days ago, but it was vetoed by Qian Renxue.

A siege is not advisable.

If the Tiandou Empire possessed the same number of Spirit Masters as the Spirit Empire, assisting in the siege would naturally be no problem; it would just be a matter of wearing each other down.

However, the gap in the actual number of Spirit Masters between the Tiandou Empire and the Spirit Empire is too large.

If they assisted the Spirit Masters in the siege, as long as all the heavy crossbows in Jialing Pass were aimed and fired at the Tiandou Empire's Spirit Masters,

it would inevitably cause the Tiandou Empire's Spirit Master Legion to suffer heavy losses.

Once their vitality was damaged, this war would be even more impossible to continue.

Qian Renxue looked at Ning Fengzhi, "Sect Master Ning, do you have any suggestions?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly.

"Since low-end combat power cannot solve the problem,"

"perhaps it is time to consider having high-end combat power take the field."

"If the Title Douluo-level combatants all strike together,"

"and if it is under my assistance, then taking Jialing Pass should not be a problem."

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words,

the group nodded one after another.

But Qian Renxue, who was in the main seat, shook her head lightly.

"As long as the other side does not use Title Douluo-level combat power, we will not use it first."

"The unwritten rule between both sides is that those above the Spirit Douluo level do not take action; if we strike first, we would be breaking the rules."

"Moreover, the opponent also has plenty of Title Douluo-level combat power."

"Everyone is a Title Douluo; no one wants a desperate fight, and in the end, there wouldn't be any other result."

Hearing Qian Renxue's words,

the group fell silent.

Especially the latter part of what Qian Renxue said; it was simply too realistic.

It is not easy to cultivate to the Title Douluo level.

Who would want to fight to the death?

"We still need to think of another way."

……

On Sea God Island,

"You all aren't leaving?"

Tang San asked the six people including Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu shook her head.

"I am waiting here for Sister Lin to return; if you want to leave, then go ahead."

Tang San did not try to persuade them further; whether they wanted to go or not was up to them.

"Then let's go."

The Sea God Tang San took the seven guardians of Sea God Island and flew toward the location of the continent.

Now that his own power had greatly increased,

then he would first wipe out the Spirit Hall!

Very quickly,

Tang San brought the seven Title Douluo to Heaven Dou City.

And after arriving at Heaven Dou City, he received news:

the front lines had started fighting.

A group of Tang Sect disciples and people from Lanba Academy had all gone to participate in the war.

She immediately took the seven Guardian Douluo of Sea God Island and headed rapidly toward the front lines again.

Just as Qian Renxue and the others were in the middle of their discussion,

the pressure of a 9.999 God Level powerhouse descended instantly.

Qian Renxue felt the God Level pressure and was also stunned for a moment.

A god has arrived?

Tang San's figure appeared outside the main tent in a flash.

The seven Title Douluo slowly lined up on her sides.

Full of presence!

"Tang San!"

"Sect Master!"

Upon seeing Tang San,

everyone in the large tent was extremely astonished.

"It seems you are all very confused,"

Tang San smiled slightly,

"I already understand all of your problems,"

"No matter, now that I am here,"

"the problem of Jialing Pass will be easily solved,"

"Watch me!"

Tang San soared into the air and charged fiercely toward Jialing Pass.

Pressure infinitely close to God Level spread outward,

and the thick city walls of Jialing Pass began to Shake.

At this moment, Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes and watched the incoming Tang San.

"To think they would directly deploy God Level combat power!"

"Unexpected, indeed. There is actually a second god within the Tiandou Empire, though it seems, quite weak."

Ten Spirit Rings—red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, gold—rose from beneath Bibi Dong's feet.

At this moment, Tang San was also surprised to see Bibi Dong's Spirit Rings,

"The opponent actually has a god too?"

"Then let me use you as my stepping stone!"

"Sea God's Power!"

Blue-gold Divine Power condensed on Tang San's hands as he charged fiercely toward Bibi Dong.

The terrifying momentum made the bodies of the crowd of Spirit Masters on the city wall tremble.

Bibi Dong's figure flashed,

appearing directly above Tang San,

and with a fierce stomp, he was slammed onto the ground with a bang.

Countless dust and smoke rose up,

life or death unknown.

In an instant,

everyone was stunned.

"The Spirit Empire actually has a god?"

Everyone inside the large tent trembled,

how could they still fight this?

There was simply no way to fight!

At this moment, Qian Renxue was also quite furious.

What was originally a proper low-level contest had unexpectedly been turned into a high-level contest by Tang San.

Qian Renxue slammed her hand on the table,

"Pass on my order,"

"All troops, attack! Storm the city!"

Following closely, ten Spirit Rings—black, black, black, black, black, black, red, red, red, gold—likewise rose from beneath Qian Renxue's feet.

Three pairs of snow-white wings unfolded from behind Qian Renxue.

Pressure originating from the God Level simultaneously spread out from within the large tent.

At this moment, the people inside the large tent were shocked once again,

"His Majesty is also a God Level powerhouse!"

Qian Renxue flew out in a flash and charged directly toward Bibi Dong.

Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong exchanged a glance, and the two headed directly toward the high sky.

And at this moment, with the appearance of Qian Renxue's God Level power,

the confidence of everyone in the large tent greatly increased,

and even the million-strong army of the Tiandou Empire felt a jolt in their hearts.

"Beat the drums!"

"All troops, attack!"

The order for a full-scale offensive was issued.

All the soldiers of the Tiandou Empire army now had nothing left in their hearts but that conviction of certain victory.

The million-strong army,

launched a charge with great momentum.

From the supreme commander of the army, Marshal Ge Long, down to the lowest-ranking military officer, the squad leader,

everyone's mood at this moment became incomparably excited.

The legions maintained their complete formation and slowly spread out across the vast plain,

pressing forward step by step, heading straight for Jialing Pass.

How could one avoid heavy casualties for one's own soldiers on the battlefield?

Without a doubt, having the powerhouses decide the outcome first is the most important thing.

And the powerhouses below the level of gods are naturally the Title Douluo.

On the walls of Jialing Pass, there is no doubt that there is a defense composed of a large number of Spirit Masters; wanting to break through such a defense relying solely on soldiers is impossible.

For Spirit Masters whose levels have reached a certain degree, it is not difficult to take on a hundred, let alone with the Sturdy Jialing Pass.

Therefore, the collision between the powerhouses has become the most important thing.

Only by killing the opponent's most powerful Spirit Master,

under the leadership of one's own powerhouses, is there a possibility of breaking through Jialing Pass as soon as possible.

A group of Title Douluo rushed up quickly.

Even the seven Guardian Douluo of Sea God Island also rushed up quickly.

Let's see how the Sea God is first!

It is just as the saying goes, high skill makes one bold.

There are tens of thousands of Spirit Empire Spirit Masters on Jialing Pass.

That they still dare to launch an attack like this shows how confident they are in their own strength.

On Jialing Pass, watching the enemy army press toward the border,

the hundred-year-old Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes were even a bit red.

He shouted loudly, "Spirit Masters below level eighty, disperse; the others follow me to wipe out these ignorant children."

Spirit Masters with soul power exceeding level eighty are not so simple that they can be dealt with by numbers.

During this period of war between the Spirit Empire and the Tiandou Empire,

the number of Spirit Masters has suffered heavy losses.

One must know that cultivating Spirit Masters is not that easy.

Golden Crocodile Douluo also did not want his subordinate Spirit Masters to be affected by the aftermath of the great battle between the two sides, leading to heavy casualties.

If it were not for the six High Priests being controlled by Bibi Dong,

the high-end combat power on the Spirit Empire side would be even less.

Ning Fengzhi transformed into an extremely towering Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

With the help of Ye Lin, Ning Fengzhi also possessed the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda,

and also successfully broke through to become a Title Douluo.

Countless brilliant rays of light fell upon the group of Title Douluo.

The Title Douluo of both sides quickly engaged in battle together.

However, the strongest combatant, Sword Douluo, did not leave.

He just stood quietly by Ning Fengzhi's side to provide protection.

Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Liu Erlong used the Golden Sacred Dragon.

Along with Flender reaching Title Douluo,

after Liu Erlong broke through to Spirit Douluo, the strength of the Golden Sacred Dragon was also raised once again.

And his opponent was precisely the Spirit Hall's second High Priest, Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Golden Crocodile Douluo activated his Martial Soul True Body, transforming into a humanoid crocodile over ten meters tall; the fan-shaped axe in his right hand constantly clashed with the Golden Sacred Dragon of the same height.

It was just like Godzilla versus King Kong.

The seven Guardian Douluo of Sea God Island were the first to protect Tang San, bringing him to a safe location.

"Lord Sea God, are you alright?"

Tang San shook his head gently.

"No matter, I am fine; you all go and help."

"Wipe out the Spirit Hall!"

"Yes!"

Marshal Ge Long shouted loudly,

"The three armies, charge!"

As soon as the army arrived at the moat, four light cavalry legions swarmed forward immediately.

On both sides of every light cavalryman's saddle,

a sandbag was hung, filled with soil.

One sandbag was about thirty jin, and two made sixty jin.

As the most important fortress of the Spirit Empire, the moat in front of Jialing Pass was naturally very deep. A sixty-jin sandbag thrown down naturally counted for nothing.

However, when four light cavalry legions, a full forty thousand people, took turns throwing the sandbags they carried into the moat,

its effect immediately became apparent. Although it could not fill the entire moat,

there was no problem at all in filling out a few wide passages.

Under the command of Marshal Ge Long's signal flags, the Tiandou Empire army had a clear division of labor.

After the light cavalry finished filling, they immediately withdrew from both sides,

and the heavy infantry began to cross the river.

At this time, the top of Jialing Pass was mostly occupied by the Spirit Empire's Spirit Master Legion.

Setting aside the battlefield where those powerhouses were fighting,

while guarding the pass with Spirit Masters is indeed as solid as a golden fortress, it also has a disadvantage.

Spirit Masters' attack skills all have a certain distance.

Even for level sixty or seventy Spirit Masters, it is very difficult to make their attacks reach very far.

Therefore, these Spirit Masters could only watch helplessly as the moat was filled, with no way to stop it.

At this moment, their utility was not even as great as an archer legion composed of ordinary soldiers.

A clanging metallic sound rang out within the Tiandou Empire's army.

The few legions at the very front slowly parted to both sides.

Only six heavy infantry legions stood in front like shields; behind them,

were special warriors with stern expressions, each holding a long black case. They had once created unprecedented glory on this battlefield,

using the abilities of ordinary humans to annihilate almost an entire ten-thousand-strong Spirit Master Legion of the Spirit Empire.

This was the Zhuge Legion.

There was also the only Spirit Master Legion of the Tiandou Empire,

and located at the very front were the disciples of the four halls of the Tang Sect.

The disciples of the two halls totaled three hundred people, with the Defense Hall disciples in front and the Strength Hall disciples behind.

Because Titan and Niu Gao had the best relationship, the coordination between these Strength Hall disciples and Defense Hall disciples was the most tacit.

They were not simply stepping forward.

Although there were only three hundred of them,

their appearance brought an equally intense shock to both great armies.

One hundred and fifty Defense Hall disciples had each seen their bodies swell as their martial souls were released.

The defensive power of the Plate Armor Giant Rhinoceros was fully unleashed.

At the same time, each of them held two giant tower shields in their hands, five meters high, two meters wide, and over a full meter thick.

Even though these tower shields themselves were forged by the Strength Hall disciples using a special alloy during casting,

and were not as heavy as they looked while possessing extremely formidable defensive power, their own weight was still several thousand jin.

With one person holding two such tower shields,

it was simply like an armored fortress. The Defense Hall disciples were already tall,

and with this thing appearing, one hundred and fifty people and three hundred tower shields laid down the most solid layer of defense in front of the formation.

One must know that the tower shields in their hands,

even the most outstanding heavy infantry would need ten people to lift.

Without a doubt, with these special tower shields forged by the Strength Hall disciples,

the defensive power of the Defense Hall disciples had been raised to an unprecedented strength.

Even for a high-level Spirit Master, wanting to Break their defense was by no means an easy task.

As for attack methods like bows, arrows, or heavy crossbows, they were simply ignored.

Even more formidable things were still behind; although the Defense Hall disciples had great strength,

their primary ability was in defense.

The true powerhouses were still behind.

One hundred and fifty Strength Hall disciples,

divided into four groups, with each group of Strength Hall disciples numbering over forty people.

It was not apparent while the great army was marching, but at this moment, as they broke away from the main formation,

they shouted in unison, and the forty-plus people in each group exerted force simultaneously.

Suddenly, a massive siege weapon, the battering ram, appeared.

Under normal circumstances, the siege battering rams used in war are carried by specialized battering ram vehicles,

but the battering ram they brought out was entirely human-powered.

However, one only needed to take a close look at that battering ram to understand why it required human power to move,

and why it needed over forty Strength Hall disciples to support it.

This battering ram itself was crafted from a large amount of thousand-year iron wood,

wrapped on the outside with a layer of iron plating, while the frontmost third,

was entirely forged from Iron Essence.

The entire battering ram was one hundred meters long and over five meters in diameter.
