Chapter 97: Chaos, absolute chaos

The Douluo Continent, the Heaven Dou Empire.

Nuoding City.

Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy.

Half a day has passed since the great battle between the Justice League and the Wu Hun Empire.

Tang San's face is full of sorrow; based on the information he has gathered, the chances of the Justice League winning are becoming smaller and smaller.

Qian Renxue has become a god ahead of schedule.

The Wu Hun Empire was established ahead of schedule.

Most fatally, soul tools have appeared in the hands of the Wu Hun Empire ten thousand years early.

This is like two martial arts masters competing; one of them suddenly pulls out a shotgun—and not just any shotgun, but one that doesn't need reloading and can fire countless bullets.

You tell me, how is the Justice League supposed to win? Win with their feet?

Furthermore, according to the descriptions from the Soul Elder teachers at the academy, the Steel Giants possessed by the Wu Hun Empire are something even the Sun Moon Empire of ten thousand years later could not mass-produce.

Yet the Wu Hun Empire has achieved mass production. What does this indicate? It indicates that the Wu Hun Empire's mastery of soul tool technology has already surpassed that of the Sun Moon Empire ten thousand years later.

Tang San cannot help but complain about the Shura God and the Sea God in the heavens. Are these two guys just eating for free? In this lifetime, it's one thing that Qian Qianji is still alive, but what leaves him most speechless is that the Wu Hun Empire possesses such advanced soul tool technology.

This has completely broken the balance between the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire, yet those two don't know how to come down and manage things; they only know how to watch from above and dump a pile of messes onto him.

Tang San is truly speechless toward the Shura God and the Sea God, but he is helpless; he still needs their god positions to forge himself into a unique dual-god-position holder, displaying power and might greater than one plus one.

Just as Tang San predicted, the Justice League has no hope of winning against the Wu Hun Empire's army of Steel Giants.

……

The Douluo Continent, the Justice League.

Fifty Soul Douluo of the Wu Hun Empire, piloting Steel Giants, have arrived at the city walls.

Even facing the towering city walls, these Steel Giants are not short.

Their massive iron fists, carrying peerless might, smash toward the city walls with lightning speed.

The city walls have already begun to crack.

"Stop this group of iron lumps! Absolutely do not let them enter the city!", Ning Fengzhi screams in alarm.

Instantly, a portion of the Soul Douluo are forced to divide their attention to resist the Steel Giants' assault.

The addition of the Soul Douluo temporarily delays the moment the city walls will be breached.

But this makes it bitter for the remaining Titled Douluo and Soul Douluo.

Originally, with the addition of this group of Soul Douluo, they were already struggling to deal with the nine Douluo of the Wu Hun Empire who possess peak combat strength.

Now that they are missing, those dealing with the nine peak-combat-strength Douluo of the Wu Hun Empire are in even more precarious danger.

After giving his orders, Ning Fengzhi, while assisting Chen Xin, approaches him and whispers: "Uncle Chen, let's retreat. The Justice League's defeat is already set."

"Sect Master, this isn't good, is it? They are still resisting with all their might.", Chen Xin frowns slightly.

Ning Fengzhi anxiously urges again: "Uncle Chen, now is not the time to be impulsive. Anyone with eyes can see that the Justice League is bound to lose. You are the pillar of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; if you die, what will happen to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? What will happen to me?"

"Uncle Chen, let's go."

Chen Xin frowns deeply, his heart struggling intensely. In the end, he compromises, yielding to the entrustment and exhortations given to him by Ning Fengzhi's father before his death.

"Fine, Sect Master, let's go.", Chen Xin takes Ning Fengzhi and quietly retreats toward the rear of the Justice League.

He did indeed survive by leaving, but he also left behind a knot in his heart.

His departure also made it bitter for the other Titled Douluo and Soul Douluo of the Justice League, meaning these people now have to face one more Douluo with peak combat strength from the Wu Hun Empire.

……

The iron fists of the Steel Giants swing faster and faster. It is not that they lack faster ways to break the city, but those methods are surprisingly soul-power-consuming; only swinging their iron fists is the most soul-power-efficient.

Their true obstacle is not this city wall, but the tens of thousands of troops of the Justice League.

Only when facing the Justice League's army will they reveal the true terror of the Steel Giants.

The city walls crack in response, and under the continuous bombardment of the Steel Giants, openings with diameters exceeding fifty meters appear.

The Steel Giants walk into the Justice League, and below them are tens of thousands of troops. Only when these ordinary people face these behemoths do they deeply feel the terror.

Yet, the Soul Douluo piloting the Steel Giants do not give these ordinary people any time to react or digest the situation.

With every ruthless stomp of their giant feet, they take away batch after batch of lives.

Their past arrogance has long since led these Soul Douluo to not treat ordinary people as human; they trample these lives at will, their hearts without sorrow or joy, just like stepping on a group of ants.

……

"Alliance Leader Chen, what should we do now?"

"Alliance Leader Ning?"

"Alliance Leader Chen?"

After several calls, there is no response.

The complexions of Tang Wei, Tang Hao, Yu Yuanzhen, the Star Luo Emperor, and Xue Ye are all looking quite poor.

Tang Wei curses: "Son of a bitch, it really is the nature of merchants; they actually ran away first while we weren't paying attention."

"Sect Master Tang, your cultivation is the highest here, please make a decision.", Xue Ye urges.

"At this point, let's retreat.", Tang Wei has no more words. He looks toward Tang Hao, the meaning of 'leave' clear in his eyes.

Tang Hao receives the signal and retreats while fighting.

Tang Wei does the same.

Seeing that the Titled Douluo have begun to retreat, the people of the Justice League lose all heart for resistance and flee, each thinking of their own way to escape.

The scene instantly descends into chaos.

"Tang Wei, you want to leave now? It's too late.", without the entanglement of others from the Justice League, Gui Mei bites onto Tang Wei and refuses to let go.

"Tang Hao, don't run!"

"Yu Yuanzhen, didn't you say the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is not weaker than the Spirit Hall?"

"Why are you running now!"

"Xue Ye, Star Luo Emperor, since you've come, don't think about leaving."

……

Qian Renxue stands high above the battlefield. Since swinging her sword and causing Chen Xin, Tang Wei, Tang Hao, and Yu Yuanzhen to suffer heavy injuries, she has not made another move.

She must give the other side a little hope.

Her goal has never been Tang Wei, Tang Hao, Yu Yuanzhen, Chen Xin, and the others.

These people are merely obstacles on the road to success; if they are killed, so be it, and if they escape, let them live for now.

Her goal from beginning to end has always been the Shrek Seven Devils.

Qian Renxue believes that through the baptism of war, the love between the Shrek Seven Devils will surely be even purer than in the previous life.

Right, and add a Bai Chenxiang to that.

Only when the Shrek Seven Devils, plus Bai Chenxiang, a total of eight people, fall in love with each other, will it be her perfect moment to strike.

At the same time, this will also be the beginning of the true suffering for the Shrek Seven Devils.

She wants to make them sense each other's existence, yet never be able to meet for eternity.

She wants Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar to hear with their own ears the downfall of their loved ones, yet be helpless to stop it.

To live in pain for all eternity.

A cruel, evil smile gradually appears on Qian Renxue's face.

Her mood has never been as refreshed as it is today.

……

Seeing that he, Tang Hao, and the remaining Clear Sky elders are being entangled by the Titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall, Tang Wei understands that if he doesn't do something today, he will certainly not be able to escape.
