Chapter 469: Ambush and Counter-Ambush

"Yue'er, have you been in contact with the helpers from the Gu Lei Kingdom recently?" Huo Wu asked, leaning toward Shui Yue'er.

She was indeed a confident girl, but she was no longer as reckless as she once was; the gap in strength between the two sides was now too obvious.

Without helpers, it was truly possible for them to be completely wiped out here.

Shui Yue'er smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Huo Wu, they have already arrived. In a moment, we..." She said the final words using the Sound Transmission Secret Technique taught by Feihuang, transmitting them not only to Huo Wu but also to Feng Xiaotian and the deans.

In truth, this was not some high-level technique; Ning Fengzhi and the others all knew it, it was just that the girl had been too lazy to learn it before.

However, this move was very practical; it was always needed when conveying secret information.

In reality, Dugu Bo had also arrived, but he did not appear directly, because if the people from Spirit Hall Academy and Elephant Armor Academy saw him, how could they possibly make a move?

Then how would he complete the mission of wiping out the Elephant Armored Sect?

Moreover, he had arrived during the day, and he had been hiding in the shadows to make preparations in advance.

The four deans managed their expressions extremely well; even though they knew a Title Douluo was secretly guarding them from behind, they still appeared very wary on the surface, and one could even see their concern for their students.

They were all old foxes.

This expression made Huyan Zhen laugh mockingly, "Heh, so you know to be afraid now? Unfortunately, it's too late. Elephant Armored Sect, listen to my command: leave no one alive!"

Since the other side had directly called out their identities, they simply stopped pretending. In any case, today, he would slaughter all these students from the Element Academy, leaving no witnesses, so no one would know they were the ones who did it.

"Everyone, run! We will block them here!" Feng Yuanyi roared, taking the initiative to charge to the very front.

"Hmph, wanting to escape? Keep dreaming." From within the Spirit Hall group, a man holding an iron sword flew out; it was none other than Huang Zhenshan.

His martial soul, the Zhenshan Iron Sword, could transform into a great mountain to suppress his opponents.

"Seventh Soul Skill: Weapon Soul Avatar! Eighth Soul Skill: Suppress Three Mountains!"

The Zhenshan Iron Sword, having activated its Weapon Soul Avatar, directly transformed into three great mountains, trapping everyone from the Element Academy within the encirclement of the three mountains. Without a flying-type martial soul, it was absolutely impossible to charge out at this moment.

"Today, even if you had wings, you would find it hard to escape!"

"Heh, the ones who will find it hard to escape are you!" Yao Man, the dean of the Plant Academy, smiled slightly, and the Red Flame Thorn in her hand began to grow rapidly, "City of Thorns!"

When the thorns met the mountain range, it was like a fish back in water. In an instant, the three mountains summoned by Huang Zhenshan were covered in dense Red Flame Thorns.

"Sixth Soul Skill: Flame Roar!"

"Sixth Soul Skill: Swift Wind Raging Waves!"

Following this, the two deans of Blazing Fire and Kamikaze added their attacks.

The One-horned Fire Tyrant Dragon sprayed raging flames in all directions, igniting all the Red Flame Thorns on the three mountains.

The Red Flame Thorn was an extremely special plant martial soul; it possessed a fire attribute itself, so it was not as afraid of fire as other plant martial souls.

Unless it was a higher-level fire like Evil Fire or Extreme Fire, ordinary fire would only make the Red Flame Thorns burn even more fiercely.

Coupled with Feng Yuanyi's wind, the three mountains instantly turned into volcanoes, surrounding everyone present.

"What are you playing at?" Saite felt a touch of worry in his heart for no reason, as if something terrifying was about to descend.

These three burning volcanoes had now blocked everyone's path. Could it be that this Element Academy wanted to perish together with them? "Heh, the goal? It's exactly this. Senior Dugu, please make your move!" Feng Xiaotian roared.

"What?" Hearing this, everyone looked toward the sky.

They saw a massive Jade Phosphor Snake coiling down from above the mountain range, opening its blood-red maw to spray thick, dark green poisonous gas.

"Dugu Bo! How could he be here? Could it be..." Xie Yue was greatly shocked. At this moment, he knew he had fallen into a trap.

The Element Academy running toward the Heaven Dou Empire was merely a feint, intended to make them believe the Element Academy's goal was to defect to Heaven Dou.

But in reality, they had latched onto Gu Lei.

"This won't do, the poisonous gas will spread everywhere. Huang Zhenshan, are you still not going to make a move and retract your soul skill?" Yan shouted in anger.

"I've been trying to retract it, but I can't!" Huang Zhenshan was extremely distressed.

His Zhenshan Iron Sword was completely entangled by the Red Flame Thorns covering the mountains, and with the added soul power from the deans of Kamikaze and Blazing Fire, his soul power had been completely suppressed.

The ultimate move, Suppress Three Mountains, which he had originally intended to use to trap the Element Academy and prevent them from escaping, had now backfired, blocking their own retreat as well.

"Damn it! Dugu Bo, don't forget, the people from the Element Academy are here too! You're releasing poison indiscriminately; aren't you afraid they'll also turn into pools of sludge?" Xie Yue yelled.

"Of course I'm not afraid, because today, we all took antidotes in advance," Shui Yue'er laughed. She had given every student fruit today; did they really think she was just being foolishly generous? That was something she and Dugu Bo had agreed upon: the fruit had been laced with a different kind of poison beforehand.

This poison would not take effect for a while, but when it met the poisonous mist Dugu Bo was currently spraying, it would fight poison with poison, and the two toxins would completely neutralize each other.

Everyone immediately thought of the fruit Shui Yue'er had given them. Xue Wu praised, "So that's how it is. Well done, Yue'er."

"Bastards! It seems we've become turtles in a jar. Since you want to wipe us out, we won't let you have an easy time either. Kill them!" Xie Yue ordered in a rage.

Although they had fallen into a trap, as high-level Spirit Masters, Dugu Bo's poison would not kill them immediately. Before being poisoned to death, they had to slaughter the Element Academy; killing one would break even, and killing two would be a profit.

"Come on then, everyone, fight!" Feng Xiaotian also gave the order, and all the students of the Element Academy charged toward Spirit Hall Academy and Elephant Armor Academy.

Although in terms of strength they were inferior to Spirit Hall Academy by quite a bit, most of the people from Spirit Hall Academy were now poisoned; even if they hadn't died immediately, their combat effectiveness had dropped significantly.

Under these circumstances, if the Element Academy still couldn't beat them, it would be too shameful.

The two sides collided crazily, and for a time, all kinds of powerful martial souls and dazzling Spirit Rings appeared at once.

Within a small valley, a large-scale Spirit Master war had broken out.

Xie Yue brandished his Moon Blade, clashing with Feng Xiaotian's Wind Wing.

Yan's heavy fists also collided with the punches and kicks of the siblings Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang.

The girls from Tianshui Academy and Plant Academy stayed in the rear, using their own ice or plants to control the battlefield and provide support everywhere.

Only the Thunder Academy, lacking a backbone, fought somewhat without a plan.

Huyan Li spotted this point and gathered his six brothers; the seven Diamond Mammoths pushed fiercely toward them.

At this moment, a voice familiar and heartening to Lei Dong and the others rang out, "Huyan Li, are you bullying my Thunder Academy because there is no one left?"
