Was there an ambush in Chapter 469?
At the same time, on the front of the Eagle Fall Plain.
Dugu Bo stood at the edge of the poison zone, his emerald green eyes gazing at the front lines of the Sun Moon Empire. The night wind blew his dark green robe, and the phantom of the Azure Phosphorous Dragon appeared and disappeared behind him.
In the distance, the Sun Moon Empire's frontal artillery array remained in a defensive posture.
A soul-guided shield enveloped the position, with a blue light curtain flashing continuously.
Since a large number of Soul Masters were poisoned to death by the Azure Phosphorus Divine Light during the day, the Sun Moon Empire's main force has developed an almost instinctive fear of Dugu Bo.
As soon as they saw the poisonous fog billowing, they immediately went on high alert.
A cold smile appeared on Dugu Bo's lips.
"Afraid of poison?"
"Then I'll make you tremble with fear."
He raised his hand, and the seventh and eighth spirit rings beneath his feet glowed faintly at the same time.
"Martial Soul True Form".
The enormous Azure Dragon slowly raised its head amidst the poisonous mist.
The dark green poisonous fog surged westward like a tide, but it did not actually impact the Sun Moon Empire's protective shield. Instead, it continuously gathered, rolled, and expanded in front of the shield.
From a distance, it looked as if Dugu Bo was about to unleash the Azure Phosphorus Divine Light once again.
The Sun and Moon Empire's main battlefront was immediately thrown into chaos.
"The poisonous fog is moving!"
"The Poison Douluo is about to make his move again!"
"Pressure increase at the core of the shield!"
"Purification array activated!"
"All Soul Masters, retreat to the second line of defense!"
Commands resounded throughout the Sun and Moon Battlefield, and several Soul Purification Towers lit up simultaneously, their blue and white light spreading out layer by layer to fiercely resist the oppressive poisonous fog.
The soul-guided cannons all turned to face forward, not daring to relax their guard in the slightest.
Dugu Bo looked at the tense expression on the other side and his sneer deepened.
"idiot."
"I just wield some poisonous mist, and you're all so afraid."
Standing at the back, Dugu Yan couldn't help but say:
"Grandpa, if your toxic zone really gets out of control, we'll be in trouble too."
Dugu Bo snorted.
"I know what I'm doing."
Despite his words, he did not spread the word further.
Because he knew that the one who would truly make a move tonight would not be the one directly confronting them.
And in the White Stone Hills.
……
White Rock Hills South Valley.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School members have already passed through the first detection area.
A soul guidance tower, not yet fully lit, appeared before everyone's eyes.
At the base of the tower, there are more than twenty Sun Moon Soul Masters stationed. They are wearing light Soul Guidance Armor and holding short-barreled Soul Guidance Cannons. Several small defensive Soul Guidance Devices are also deployed around them.
Ning Fengzhi raised his hand.
Everyone stopped.
Sword Douluo took a step forward. There was no earth-shattering sword cry, no dazzling light, only an extremely thin and faint sword aura that flashed and disappeared in the night.
puff.
The throat of the outermost Sun Moon Soul Master was slashed open by the sword energy.
Following that, the second, third, and fourth place winners.
The sword energy swept through the camp like a night wind.
Before the soul masters could even sound the alarm, they fell one after another.
Sword Douluo's control over soul power has reached an unparalleled level.
His sword can cleave mountains and shatter seas.
It can also kill silently.
Moments later, all the guards at the bottom of the tower fell to the ground.
Ning Fengzhi said in a low voice:
"Let's do it."
The Seven Treasures disciples immediately split into three teams. The first team rushed towards the energy storage core, took out the array-breaking soul guide nails, and inserted them directly into the connection points of the soul guide array patterns. The second team poured a specially made corrosive agent into the grooves of the soul guide core. The third team then deployed delayed-explosion soul missiles around the area.
These things were all rough products that Tang Chuan had sorted out from the theory of Sun and Moon Soul Tools and then handed over to the Tian Dou craftsmen to be urgently copied.
Its power is inferior to the orthodox soul tools of the Sun Moon Empire.
It is sufficient to destroy a soul array that has not yet been fully activated.
Sword Douluo stood in front of the tower, looking up at its towering structure.
Ning Fengzhi said softly:
"Uncle Jian."
Sword Douluo nodded.
The next instant, a cold light flashed on the Seven Kill Sword.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Ten Thousand Swords Return to One".
Instantly, countless tiny sword shadows coalesced into a sharp sword stream, directly penetrating the gaps in the array patterns at the bottom of the Soul Guidance Tower.
Click.
Click.
Click.
A continuous cracking sound came from inside the tower.
Immediately afterwards, Sword Douluo raised his hand and waved.
"cut."
A white sword beam sliced across.
boom!
The first Soul Guidance Tower broke at the bottom, and the huge metal tower body tilted to one side.
The incompletely assembled soul guide core inside the tower exploded on the spot, and blue and white flames shot into the sky.
The alarm finally went off.
The piercing sound of the soul guide tore through the night.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
"Someone has attacked the North Road Soul Guidance Tower!"
"Quickly! Activate the defensive array!"
The White Stone Hills were thrown into chaos instantly.
Soul guide lights on the distant mountain ridge lit up one after another, and beams of searchlight swept towards the South Valley.
Bone Douluo snorted coldly.
"You only just realized that?"
"Too late!"
He took a step forward and tore his hands apart to the sides.
A spatial rift suddenly opened.
"Let's go to the second one!"
Driven by the power of Bone Douluo's space, the 307 elite warriors instantly passed through a valley and appeared directly outside the second Soul Guidance Tower.
This time, however, the Sun Moon Empire reacted much faster.
The defensive shield around the second Soul Guidance Tower has already lit up.
Dozens of Soul Masters took to the air, their flying Soul Guidance Wings spewing blue flames, and their Soul Guidance Cannons aimed at the crowd.
"Fire!"
Boom boom boom boom boom!
A dense barrage of soul-guided beams poured down.
Ning Fengzhi's gaze sharpened, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda instantly appeared in his palm.
"Seven treasures transform into crystal!"
"Firstly: Strength!"
The second rule is: Speed!
"Thirdly: The Soul!"
The fourth is: Imperial Guard!
The seven-colored light fell upon the elite troops of the Seven Treasures Headquarters.
Three hundred people formed a battle formation at the same time.
A massive, seven-colored glass shield rose up, blocking the first round of soul-guided artillery fire.
Amidst the roar, the protective shield vibrated violently.
Ning Fengzhi's face paled slightly. He had not fully recovered from the daytime battle, and tonight he had assisted the elite troops in a surprise attack, which was not easy for him.
With Ning Rongrong gone, he had to shoulder the responsibility of supporting the core role on his own.
Sword Douluo's eyes turned cold.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Seven Killing True Form!"
A gigantic phantom of the Seven Kill Sword soared into the sky.
Sword Douluo's figure transformed into a white streak of light, soaring straight into the sky.
The flying soul master wanted to create distance, but the sword douluo was too fast.
"Eighth Soul Skill: Moving Mountains and Filling Seas!"
A hundred-foot-long sword beam swept across the sky.
More than a dozen Soul Masters, along with their Soul Master shields, were cut down by a single sword strike.
Their armor was sliced open by sword energy, and blood mist sprinkled into the night sky.
Bone Douluo then set his sights on the defensive base of the second Soul Guidance Tower.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Bone Dragon True Form!"
The phantom of the bone dragon emerged from the spatial rift, its massive tail lashing fiercely against the defensive shield.
boom!
The protective shield vibrated violently.
The Soul Master at the bottom of the tower cried out in terror:
"Shield energy is decreasing!"
"Quickly replenish the energy storage crystals!"
Before they could even act, several Seven Treasures disciples had already reached the outer perimeter of the tower base under Ning Fengzhi's speed boost.
The Soul-Guiding Nail was inserted into the array pattern again.
Sword Douluo descended from the sky.
The Seven Kill Sword was raised high.
"Ninth Soul Skill, Divine and Demonic Slash!"
Two sword lights, one divine and one demonic, fell in a crisscrossing pattern.
The defensive shield of the second Soul Guidance Tower finally gave way and shattered with a crash.
The sword light struck the tower.
Boom!
The second soul guidance tower was cut in half, and half of the tower crashed into the valley, crushing several soul guidance transport vehicles.
The disciples of Qibao immediately cheered.
However, Ning Fengzhi showed no sign of relaxation.
"withdraw!"
"Retreat immediately!"
Because he sensed something was wrong.
Everything went too smoothly.
The first tower was destroyed, and although the second tower offered some resistance, it was quickly cut down.
However, the true main force of the Soul Master Legion of White Stone Hills did not appear in full.
This is unlike the reaction of the Sun and Moon Empire.
more like...
Ning Fengzhi's gaze suddenly darkened.
"trap!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the mountain ridges surrounding White Stone Hills simultaneously lit up with a dazzling blue-white light.
One by one, the soul-guiding array patterns hidden within the mountain were activated.
A huge circular magic circle appeared on the ground of the valley.
Blue and white chains shot out from all directions, instantly sealing off the entire valley.
Bone Douluo's expression changed.
"not good!"
"The space is locked!"
A calm voice came from the sky.
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School"
"Ning Fengzhi".
"Sword Douluo Chen Xin".
"Bone Douluo Ancient Banyan".
"You really did come."
At the top of the third Soul Guidance Tower in the distance, a middle-aged man dressed in a dark black Soul Guidance robe slowly appeared. His face was stern, his eyes were steady, and he held a metal token in his hand.
It was none other than Xu Xuance, the commander of the vanguard of the Sun Moon Empire's expeditionary force and a level nine Soul Master.
Behind him, dozens of high-level Soul Masters stood in a row.
The third Soul Guidance Tower is not yet incomplete.
On the contrary, it was already completed.
It has just been hiding the true core fluctuations.
Xu Xuance looked at the Seven Treasures group in the valley and said calmly:
"You have already witnessed the range of soul tools in the daytime battle."
"If the three artillery positions are formed, the allied forces will inevitably be forced to divide their forces."
"Based on Sect Master Ning's judgment, it's impossible for him to just sit and wait for us to finish setting up the formation."
"So, you'll definitely launch a night raid."
Ning Fengzhi's expression darkened slightly.
Xu Xuance continued:
"The Poisonous Douluo is on the front."
"There is a Soul Breaker in the South Wing."
"The sea god is not here."
"The only elite forces you can mobilize are the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School headquarters and Sword Bone Douluo."
"That's not hard to guess."
Bone Douluo said coldly:
"Using two Soul Guidance Towers as bait, what a grand scheme."
Xu Xuance said calmly:
"The unfinished tower is just bait."
"If it can be exchanged for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's sect leader and two titled Douluo, it's worth it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding soul guidance arrays were fully activated.
The blue and white spatial chains grew increasingly dense.
The gravity-guided array pressed down.
The mental interference soul guidance array lit up.
Slowing, sealing, paralysis, and locking effects—several effects of the Soul Guidance Array are stacked simultaneously.
Immediately, some of the Seven Treasures disciples turned pale, their movements slowed, and their soul power became sluggish.
Ning Fengzhi immediately raised the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.
"Seven treasures transform into crystal!"
The fourth is: Imperial Guard!
"Thirdly: The Soul!"
"Sixth: Increase!"
The seven-colored light spread, forcefully stabilizing the Seven Treasures disciples' formation.
But his face turned even paler.
Upon seeing this, Xu Xuance's eyes narrowed slightly.
"The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, what a troublesome place."
He raised his hand and waved.
"Prioritize suppressing Ning Fengzhi."
The next moment, the top of the third Soul Guidance Tower lit up.
A massive soul-guided cannon slowly emerged from inside the tower, its muzzle pointing directly at Ning Fengzhi.
Although the Level 9 Fixed-Point Soul Guidance Cannon was far inferior to the mature Level 9 Soul Guidance Devices of the later Douluo Continent II era, it was already a true heavy weapon of war for the Sun Moon Empire in this era.
Sword Douluo's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"You dare!"
He slashed at the third Soul Guidance Tower with his sword.
However, dozens of soul-guided protective shields were deployed simultaneously in mid-air, forcefully blocking the sword light.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen high-level Soul Masters opened fire simultaneously, preventing Sword Douluo from getting close.
Bone Douluo tried to tear open space, but found that the surrounding space was as if it were locked by countless iron chains.
He snorted coldly.
"Trying to trap this old man?"
"dream!"
The true form of the bone dragon roared out, its massive bone claws tearing fiercely at the spatial chains.
Click!
Several chains broke.
More soul-guided chains can be added immediately.
Xu Xuance said calmly:
"We have long been aware of Bone Douluo's spatial abilities."
"This spatial locking array was prepared just for you."
Bone Douluo's face was gloomy.
Sword Douluo looked at Ning Fengzhi.
"Fengzhi, what should we do?"
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, his eyes showing no panic.
"As planned."
Sword Douluo frowned.
"The original plan was to retreat in half an hour."
Ning Fengzhi said:
"But we can't withdraw now."
He looked at the third Soul Guidance Tower.
"Then destroy the third tower."
Bone Douluo grinned.
"I like your ruthlessness."
Sword Douluo slowly raised the Seven Kill Sword.
"it is good."
The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda in Ning Fengzhi's palm shone brightly.
Instead of distributing the support to the entire army, he concentrated all the boosts on Sword Bone Douluo.
"Firstly: Strength!"
The second rule is: Speed!
"Thirdly: The Soul!"
The fourth is: Imperial Guard!
Fifthly: Attack!
"Sixth: Increase!"
"Seventh: Truth!"
Seven beams of light descended simultaneously.
Sword Douluo's sword intent surged instantly.
The true form of the bone dragon behind Bone Douluo also became more solid under the amplification of the Seven Treasures.
Ning Fengzhi's face turned pale, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
But his voice remained calm:
"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone."
"Just this one strike."
Sword Douluo did not turn around.
"clear."
Bone Douluo slammed his hands onto the ground.
"Ninth Soul Skill, Bone Transformation Dragon!"
The enormous bone dragon roared to the sky and crashed headlong into the weakest point of the spatial locking array.
At the same time, Sword Douluo's ninth spirit ring lit up again.
"Ninth Soul Skill, Divine and Demonic Slash!"
Two sword lights, one divine and one demonic, clashed in the night sky.
This time, it's even stronger than before.
Because of Ning Fengzhi's sevenfold amplification.
The sword light tore through the soul-guided cannon fire, severed the spatial chains, and headed straight for the third soul-guided tower.
Xu Xuance's expression finally changed.
"Full defense!"
Dozens of layers of soul-guided protective shields were deployed simultaneously.
However, under the combined attack of the Sword and Bone Douluo, the protective shield shattered layer by layer.
First floor.
The second layer.
The third layer.
The tenth floor.
The twentieth floor.
Finally, the divine and demonic sword light struck the third Soul Guidance Tower.
boom--!
The entire mountain ridge shook violently.
The third Soul Guidance Tower was cleaved open from top to bottom with a deep crack.
The level nine soul-guided cannon inside the tower had just finished charging when its energy was instantly backfired because the array pattern was severed.
Xu Xuance's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Abandon the tower!"
Boom!
The third Soul Guidance Tower exploded.
Blue and white flames shot into the sky.
The entire white stone hill was illuminated as brightly as day.
The spatial locking array trembled violently, and a brief gap appeared.
Bone Douluo seized the opportunity and roared:
"Walk!"
The spatial rift was forcibly torn open.
The disciples of Qibao immediately retreated towards the rift.
But would the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master Legion let them leave so easily?
Xu Xuance retreated from the aftershocks of the explosion, his face grim.
"Stop them!"
"Even if we can't kill Sword Bone Douluo, we must at least capture the elite troops of the Seven Treasures Command!"
Countless soul-guided cannon beams bombarded from all directions.
The disciples of Qibao kept falling down.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo joined forces to cover the rear.
The Seven Kill Sword repeatedly slashed down the cannon fire, and the Bone Dragon repeatedly blocked the explosions.
Ning Fengzhi struggled to maintain the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, assisting his disciples in their retreat. One of the Seven Treasures disciples was hit by a soul-guided cannon, half of his body exploding, but he still gritted his teeth and pushed his companion into the spatial rift.
"Walk!"
Another elder from the Seven Treasures Sect roared and released his martial spirit, forcefully blocking a tracking soul missile, but his entire body was engulfed in flames.
Ning Fengzhi's eyes trembled slightly.
But he didn't stop.
He knew that it was precisely at times like these that he couldn't afford to panic.
"withdraw!"
"Everyone evacuate!"
The spatial rift in Bone Douluo's body is becoming increasingly unstable.
Under the suppression of the soul-guiding array, he forcibly maintained the passage, and his face gradually turned pale.
Sword Douluo's white robes were stained with blood, but the sword light on the Seven Kill Sword remained sharp. As the last batch of Seven Treasures disciples retreated into the spatial rift, a dazzling red light suddenly shone from the ruins of the third Soul Guidance Tower.
Xu Xuance said coldly:
"Explosive Core, activate."
Ning Fengzhi's expression changed drastically.
"Uncle Sword! Uncle Bone!"
boom--!
The remaining core of the third Soul Guidance Tower completely self-destructed.
A terrifying shockwave swept through the valley.
Sword Douluo stepped forward, blocking Ning Fengzhi's path, while Bone Douluo forcibly closed the spatial rift, sending Ning Fengzhi and the last few disciples out.
The next moment, flames engulfed the valley. (End of Chapter)
