Chapter 96

This time Qian Renxue will surely lose, and the Wu Hun Empire will surely lose.

……

Ning Fengzhi looked at Qian Renxue's over a thousand people, and his eyes filled with many doubts.

He thought that even if she were still wet behind the ears and overconfident, she should not be so arrogant.

There's deceit, there must be deceit! Ning Fengzhi withdrew his gaze, looking at Tang Wei, Sword Douluo, Yu Yuan Zhen, Star Luo Emperor, and Xue Ye, and instructed:

"Everyone, if Qian Renxue is defeated and flees later, we must absolutely not pursue, in case there is deceit outside the city."

"Understood, Sect Leader Ning, we won't make such a low-level mistake."

……

Ning Fengzhi completely let down his guard; even his usually cautious self merely thought that Qian Renxue had set an ambush outside the city, and did not think that with just over a thousand men she could possibly defeat their army of a hundred thousand.

……

Far from the Justice League.

"So many people will die today; finally I can vent my hatred. This is just interest, long and drawn out—you owe me, and I will make you pay back bit by bit."

Qian Renxue muttered to herself inwardly, then shouted to the over a thousand people behind her: "Prepare for battle, follow me to take down the Justice League."

As she spoke, Qian Renxue left the Bright Flame Horse, rose into the sky, drew the Bright Holy Sword, and unleashed a divine skill.

In an instant, it seemed as if the sun in the sky had been stirred by Qian Renxue.

The solar fire poured continuously into the Angel Holy Sword, turning its originally golden blade red-hot.

At the same time, a small group of fifty Soul Douluo also took out war machines from their storage soul tools.

These war machines resembled humanoids, fifty meters tall, indeed each a colossal giant.

The Soul Douluo entered the war machines one after another and activated them.

The nine Title Douluo were no exception, each taking out their soul tools.

With the aid of their soul tools, they could unleash attack power not inferior to that of a Title Douluo at the limit, and were even more agile than the Soul Douluo piloting the war machines.

Therefore, what the Justice League must face has never been just the nine Title Douluo and fifty Soul Douluo, but rather nine Title Douluo and fifty war machines possessing limit-level combat power, even more terrifying than Super Douluo.

……

"What is this!" Ning Fengzhi, Yu Yuan Zhen, Tang Wei, and others stared at the suddenly appearing Steel Giant, all shocked beyond belief.

Although there were only fifty of them, arranged in a formation, their aura was more terrifying than their ten-thousand-strong army.

……

"Solar Holy Sword!"

With a spirited cry from Qian Renxue, the Angel Holy Sword tore through the sky, a blade trace of gold and fire stretching over a thousand meters toward the Justice League's city gate.

"Block it!"

"Block it!"

"Block it!"

Ning Fengzhi's face changed dramatically; even with Sword Douluo beside him, Qian Renxue's first strike made him feel the threat of death.

The Haotian Hammer appeared in the hands of Tang Hao and Tang Wei, and both unleashed their strongest single-target attacks, smashing toward the gold-and-fire blade trace over a thousand meters away.

Chen Xin also summoned the Seven Slaughter Sword, also slashing out a Seven Slaughter blade trace.

But his blade trace was only a hundred meters long, giving the feeling of a minor sorcerer facing a great one.

Chen Xin knew that even combined attacks from Tang Wei and Tang Hao could not block Qian Renxue's Solar Holy Sword.

Therefore, after slashing out the Seven Slaughter blade trace, he immediately grabbed Ning Fengzhi and hurled him toward the city interior.

Ning Fengzhi did not blame Chen Xin's rashness, knowing Chen Xin was doing this to save his life.

Landing and steadying his stance, without time to check his own injuries, Ning Fengzhi summoned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and began chanting the divided incantation.

"The Seven Treasures are spiritual: one is strength, two is attack, three is speed, four is defense…"

As Ning Fengzhi chanted the incantation, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shot out seven rays of different colors, which respectively fell upon Chen Xin, Yu Yuan Zhen, Tang Wei, and Tang Hao.

Although Yu Yuan Zhen looked down on Qian Renxue for being wet behind the ears, he also knew his own limits and dared not compare himself with her despite his thousands.

After summoning his martial soul, he immediately manifested his martial soul true form.

His human body transformed into a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and as a non-human roar sounded, blue lightning crackled over Yu Yuan Zhen's body. He employed two soul skills in total.

One was for his own defense, the other for attacking the gold-and-fire blade trace.

Yu Yuan Zhen opened the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's mouth; only seeing lightning charge up, it shot straight toward the gold-and-fire blade trace.

As the gold-and-fire blade trace approached, the attacks of Tang Wei, Tang Hao, Chen Xin, and Yu Yuan Zhen were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot—feeble and helpless.

All four were filled with terror in their eyes.

The blade trace arrived, viciously slashing into the city wall and also into the four of them.

Only see that the struck city wall split open with a crack over a hundred meters long.

At the crack, True Solar Fire continued to sputter, unwilling to die out.

As for Tang Wei, Tang Hao, Yu Yuan Zhen, and Chen Xin, the four were directly cut down from the city wall by the gold-and-fire blade trace.

Although they did not die, they were also seriously injured, losing at least thirty percent of their combat power.

At this moment, Yu Yuan Zhen dared not harbor the slightest contempt for Qian Renxue.

After becoming a god, Qian Renxue is truly terrifying to this extent; know that the four of them are all Super Douluo, and even if the opponent were a Limit Douluo, the four of them together would have no fear whatsoever.

Moreover, there is still Ning Fengzhi providing support.

Yet they never imagined that the god‑level Qian Renxue would be this fearsome; her single Solar Holy Sword strike was not caught by their combined efforts.

Not to mention failing to block it, they also suffered serious injury.

……

As Qian Renxue's attack landed, the nine Title Douluo of the Wu Hun Empire side also took up their soul tools and joined the battlefield.

They leapt through the air, rushing straight to the Justice League's walls.

Justice League appears. That's a faction name: "Justice League"? In context, it's likely "Justice League". Should we translate? The glossary didn't give an English form for Justice League. We need to translate it by meaning. It's a faction name, not a person name, so we translate meaning: "Justice League". Keep as English. Not in glossary but we need to include in glossary list if appears. It's a faction name, so include.

Each soul skill that strikes and every soul tool attack will surely claim the life of a Justice League soul master.

Contains "soul skill" (soul skill) which is in glossary as "soul skill". "soul tool" (soul tool?) Not in glossary; it's a term meaning "soul tool". Should translate meaning: "soul tool". Not a name?

"Block them, don't let them enter the city!" Ning Fengzhi yelled.

Actually "Douluo" is Douluo, a title). In glossary we have: Soul Elder → Soul Elder, Soul Ancestor → Soul Ancestor, Soul King → Soul King, Soul Emperor → Soul Emperor, Soul Saint → Soul Saint. Soul Douluo is not in glossary; we need to translate meaning: "Soul Douluo"? But "Douluo" is a term meaning "Douluo". Usually translated as "Soul Douluo". Since not in glossary, we translate meaning: "Soul Douluo". However we need to check if "Douluo" is considered a rank/title. It is a rank. So we should translate: "Soul Douluo". Similarly "Title Douluo" is "Title Douluo". We'll translate meaning.
