Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Jiang Ming did indeed leave a lot of things for Qingshui City, including a large object.

These things can be used to fight against some armies, even armies of tens of thousands of people, and they can hold them off.

However, if they encounter a Soul Master Corps of the Guardian of the Nation level, things will become a bit difficult.

Because the Guardian Hand Soul Master Corps has a very important characteristic: it always has two Level 9 Soul Masters! Or even more!

This is the standard configuration for the leader and deputy leader of the Sun Moon Empire's Guardian Soul Mentor Corps!
The threat of war posed by a level nine Soul Master is terrifying. It not only means that the opponent can exert the strength of a Title Douluo, but may even be carrying level nine fixed-position Soul Guidance Artillery shells!

No matter how strong Qingshui City's defenses are, they absolutely cannot withstand the bombardment of level nine fixed-position soul-guided shells before Jiang Ming's super-large defensive soul-guided array is fully formed.

Even if a level nine soul master attacks with an ordinary level nine soul tool, they might not be able to block it.

"Damn! A level nine Soul Master! What exactly is the Sun Moon Empire trying to do?!"

On the city wall, when he saw the soul-guided defensive shield of Qingshui City being shattered by a level nine soul master, Nie Heng couldn't help but swear.

Why would you need a level nine Soul Master to attack Qingshui City?

"Everyone, prepare! Activate the anti-aircraft guidance system, heed my command!"

After uttering a curse, Nie Heng immediately ordered the anti-aircraft soul guidance system to be activated, preparing to officially enter the war phase.

The soul-guided protective shield that was just now was only a basic version of the soul-guided defensive array that Jiang Ming left behind last time. It was a weakened version that only used a few level-eight soul-guided pillars and a dozen level-seven soul-guided pillars.

Besides that soul-guided protective shield, Qingshui City also has a large number of other defensive soul-guided systems.

Among them, the anti-aircraft soul guidance system is a soul guidance defense system designed by Jiang Ming himself for soul masters and soul guides who possess flying soul guidance devices.

Soon, one after another, soul-guided cannons emerged from the city wall of Qingshui City.

The countless cannon muzzles gleamed coldly, all pointing straight at the sky.

"fire!"

Rumble!
At Nie Heng's command, all the soul-guided cannons on the Qingshui City wall fired simultaneously, and cannonballs, trailing trails of flames, broke through the wind and snow and rushed into the sky.

The sheer density of the artillery fire was like an inverted meteor shower, creating an extremely spectacular scene.

Soon, fireworks exploded in the sky, with more than two hundred shells exploding in the air during the first salvo! Even the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps, known as the most elite Soul Master Corps, was stunned by this dense firepower.

"This is completely unacceptable firepower for a northern border city! Elder Kong, could it be that the Heavenly Soul Empire knew about our plans in advance?"

The vice-captain of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Corps said in a deep voice.

The development of soul tools by the three great empires of Douluo Continent was originally slow. This firepower configuration of hundreds of soul cannons is enough to equip not only Qingshui City, but also the capital city of Tianhun Empire, Tiandou City.

Old Kong shook his head and said, "I don't know, but even if the plan has been leaked, we have no other choice. The war has already begun, and we must open up the route from the north into the Douling Empire as soon as possible!"

He then looked at the deputy commander beside him and said in a deep voice, "Use cluster soul-guided bombs to blow up all these soul-guided cannons on the city wall! Everyone, take down the city wall as quickly as possible! We don't have much time!"

He wasn't entirely confident about how long Ye Yulin's side could hold out. If it was just a counterattack within the Douling Empire, Ye Yulin, with her nearly ten thousand Soul Master Corps, could hold out for a year or two without much trouble, given that the Douling Empire wasn't particularly strong in terms of national power.

But if the Heavenly Soul Empire or the Star Luo Empire sends reinforcements, especially the Heavenly Soul Empire, if the Body Sect makes a move, then Ye Yulin will be in danger.

The threat posed by the invincible Poison Master is not insignificant.

Rumble!
As the soul-guided bomb exploded on the walls of Qingshui City, several huge gaps were blasted into the entire city wall.

A large portion of the soldiers and soul-guided cannons on the city wall were blown away.

The air-to-ground advantage is simply too great. Even though Qingshui City has an air defense system, the enemy facing this air defense system is just too powerful!

This is the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps, where all members are at least Level 5 Soul Masters, and the most powerful Soul Master, Kong Deming, is located!
Soon, under Kong Deming's command, several large breaches were blown open in the city wall of Qingshui City.

Immediately afterwards, two thousand level-five soul masters, armed with soul guidance rays, soul guidance cannons, or even fixed soul guidance cannons, flew directly over Qingshui City and bombarded the entire city wall!

This relentless bombing was incredibly cruel; the western wall of Qingshui City was instantly engulfed in flames, and screams and wails filled the air.

Even if Nie Heng forcibly activates the soul guide shield again, it will be broken through by the opponent's level nine soul master in an instant!

They're not even in the same league when it comes to combat strength!
There are no more than one hundred people in Qingshui City who have reached the level of a fifth-level Soul Master, while the other side has two thousand!
There are two level nine Soul Masters on the other side, while their strongest, Nie Heng, is only a Soul Douluo!

Even with the abundant supplies left behind by Jiang Ming, they were still no match for such a terrifying Soul Master Corps.

Nie Heng's eyes turned red as he looked at the city walls engulfed in flames and the western district of Qingshui City, which was about to be engulfed in flames.

He seemed to see the apocalyptic scene more than 20 years ago, when Qingshui City was breached by the Sun Moon Empire's army and slaughtered by evil soul masters!

He survived back then because of Jiang Ming's father's protection, but now...
"Damn it, you bunch of bastards who won't let my Clearwater City live in peace! Well then, try this!"

As he spoke, Nie Heng took out a box directly from his storage soul tool.

The box was opened, revealing a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell that exuded a terrifying aura!

This was left behind by Jiang Ming when he last came here; it can be said to be Qingshui City's last trump card.

Almost the instant Nie Heng took out the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell, Kong Deming, who had been watching Nie Heng, the city lord, from the air, suddenly changed his expression.

"How did this thing get here?!"

He had seen most of the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells of the Sun Moon Empire, and the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell that Nie Heng took out happened to be one of the ones he had seen before!

Each level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball releases a different aura, so Kong Deming could recognize it as soon as it was taken out.

But in his memory, this level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell was stolen by Jiang Ming from the underground warehouse in Mingdu!

Why did this end up in the hands of the Lord of Qingshui City?!

Is it
As if he had thought of something, Kong Deming immediately looked into Qingshui City. After not seeing that familiar figure, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If that guy is really here, then their operation will be in danger!

"Quickly! Everyone, seize Qingshui City immediately! Quickly!"

Although he didn't see the guy, Kong Deming immediately ordered everyone to speed up.

If time drags on and that guy actually shows up, it will be too late.

Urged on by Kong Deming, the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps immediately intensified their offensive.

Kong Deming himself quickly appeared on the city wall of Qingshui City, intending to snatch the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball from Nie Heng!
"Put down this level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell, unless you want to see Clearwater City completely destroyed by it!"

Kong Deming said in a deep voice.

Each level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball has its own unique attributes, and the one in Nie Heng's hand is a range-type level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball!
The core explosive power of this level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell may not be that strong, but in terms of area damage, it surpasses other level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells!
If it really explodes, even though the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps all possess flying soul tools, they will inevitably be affected by such terrifying power and suffer a large number of casualties!
"Heh, scared now? Then tell your men to stop! Otherwise, I'll blow this thing up right now!" Nie Heng looked at Kong Deming, pointing his soul tool at the level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball beside him.

Kong Deming narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "If you make them surrender, we will stop."

He must take Qingshui City!
Even though they've discovered the problem now, they no longer have time to change their route.

Moreover, even changing the route doesn't guarantee there won't be any problems, and Ye Yulin can't wait that long.

"Surrender? I, Nie Heng, have never learned those two words in my life! Tell your men to stop, or we'll all die together!"

Nie Heng said in a deep voice.

Seeing this, Kong Deming decided not to waste any more words with Nie Heng.

As the strongest Soul Master on the continent, it would be quite easy for him to handle Nie Heng, an eight-ring Soul Douluo.

A sliver of moonlight escaped from his eyes, and the next second, a layer of mist seemed to veil Nie Heng's resolute gaze.

Mysterious Moon!

This is a skill of Kong Deming's martial spirit, which is not commonly used because basically anyone qualified to fight him is immune to this move.

However, it is extremely useful when dealing with people whose cultivation and strength are lower than one's own.

As Nie Heng was bewildered by Kong Deming's skill, the next second, Kong Deming appeared beside Nie Heng and immediately locked the level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell into the safe.

Because of its unique power fluctuations, the level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell cannot be directly stored in the soul-guided storage device; its aura must be isolated by something.

After shutting off the level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell, Kong Deming's eyes narrowed, and he reached out to kill Nie Heng.

A city lord who vows to never surrender is not a good thing for them.

In order to allow the subsequent army to better control the city, it would be better to kill the city lord first.

However, before his hand could fall, it was grabbed by another hand.

Kong Deming's pupils contracted, and the familiar voice in his ear made his body tremble involuntarily.

"Master Kong, it's been a long time."

Jiang Ming forcefully pulled Kong Deming's hand back from the ground, his expression completely calm.

He waved his hand and put away the safe containing the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells next to him.

The fog that had shrouded Nie Heng's eyes was also quietly dissipating.

Nie Heng snapped out of his daze, and the moment he saw Jiang Ming, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.

"Xiaoming, you're back!"

Upon hearing Nie Heng's voice, Jiang Ming nodded, then looked at other parts of the city wall and the firelight inside the city.

The next second, his voice instantly spread throughout the entire world.

"Stop it all!"

The moment those words were spoken, an immense pressure filled the entire world!

On the walls of Qingshui City, inside and outside the city, everyone was suddenly pressed to the ground by an invisible pressure.

Whether they were level 5, level 6, level 7, or even level 8 Soul Masters, they were all without exception suppressed from the sky to the ground.

Even a level nine Soul Master was locked onto by a powerful force.

The level nine soul master could clearly sense that if he dared to make a move, death would be what awaited him!
"Master Kong."

He subconsciously looked at Kong Deming on the city wall, but when he saw the figure next to Kong Deming, his pupils widened in shock!

"Jiang Ming!"

Almost every level-nine Soul Master in the entire Sun Moon Empire knows Jiang Ming.

After all, Xu Tianran had mobilized a large number of level nine soul masters in the western suburbs of Mingdu and in the Ice Sea in order to kill Jiang Ming.

Coincidentally, he was present at both operations!
Therefore, he was very clear about how powerful Jiang Ming was.

This clarity meant that he understood how much Jiang Ming's presence here would affect their plans!

At that moment, only two words were on his mind.

Finished!

On the city wall, Jiang Ming released Kong Deming's hand and said softly, "Old Kong, have your men retreat outside the city. You only have ten seconds. If you can't get out, then don't go out."

Upon hearing this, Kong Deming immediately ordered, "Everyone, withdraw from Qingshui City!"

Soon, the Soul Masters who received Kong Deming's order hurriedly retreated outside the city.

But the immense pressure they were under hadn't disappeared!

Apart from the group of Soul Masters who were relatively close to the city wall, no one else could withstand such immense pressure and get out in just ten seconds.

Even an eighth-level Soul Master can't do that!

"Elder Kong, you attacked Qingshui City to open a passage from the Sun Moon Empire to the Douling Empire, am I right?"

Jiang Ming asked softly.

He didn't think of this at first, but after the news of the attack on Qingshui City came, he immediately realized it.

The strategic importance of Qingshui City is not high, and launching an attack here is not worthwhile.

However, opening up a passage from here to the Sun Moon Empire and then to the Fighting Spirit Empire is indeed the fastest way!

Kong Deming did not answer, but looked at Nie Heng beside him.

"Qingshui City is just a border city in the northern part of the Heavenly Soul Empire, yet it possesses so many soul-guided devices, and even has a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell. If I'm not mistaken, you lived here before entering Shrek Academy, right?"

Jiang Ming smiled but remained silent.

Time is up.

He clenched his fist slightly, and the soul masters inside the city, including those on the city walls of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps, were instantly twisted into pretties by the terrifying pressure!
This number is at least five or six hundred people!
This means that five or six hundred Soul Masters of level five or above perished instantly! (End of Chapter)
