Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 423 Target: White Tiger

When the most intense heat of the day has passed, it signifies the official end of the brief midday break during the war.

As Davis stepped out of the fortress, he tried his best to suppress his excitement, pretending to be as usual, and responded to Dai Mubai's slightly provocative gaze with a disdainful expression.

After walking a distance, Davis cautiously transmitted his voice and asked:

Is everything ready?

"Your Highness, it's all right."

Upon hearing this answer, a hint of satisfaction flashed across Davis's face, but it vanished in an instant as he regained his usual composure.

The closer you get to success, the more cautious you must be.

He wanted to ensure that Dai Mubai would not discover the trap he had set up until the very last moment before he made his move.

at the same time.

Tian Dou Fortress, in front of the gate.

"Fatty Xu, you were the one who fought Dai Mubai this morning, but this afternoon it's my turn."

Li Cang casually placed one hand on Xu Wei's shoulder.

"Alright, that jealous inheritor is only so-so. The two from the Spirit Hall are stronger and can put more pressure on me."

Xu Wei pursed his lips and answered without any concern.

"Thanks."

Li Cang smiled happily.

Unlike other inheritors of divine power who come from wealthy families, he was born into a truly impoverished background.

Although joining Wanbaotang means having no shortage of cultivation resources, those are just the regular resources; any additional cultivation resources must be obtained through one's own abilities.

Although Li Cang didn't know why his superiors wanted Dai Mubai dead, if he cooperated in the operation to kill him, he could at least get a considerable amount of military merit.

Once he accumulates enough military merits, he can exchange them for the ten-thousand-year-old soul bone under the preferential policies for inheritors of the gods.

After hearing the conversation between the two, the other inheritors understood Li Cang's plan. Compared to them, Li Cang, who came from a poor background, really needed this military merit more, so they did not have any intention of seizing it.

Soon, just minutes before the war was about to begin, Yu Xiaogang from the Star Luo Empire approached Dai Mubai in a grand manner, and the two went to a corner to whisper to each other.

About a minute or two later, Dai Mubai returned with a gloomy expression, cursing inwardly:

"Damn old waste, how dare you threaten this prince!"

Just now, Yu Xiaogang found him and asked him to do something during the upcoming battle:
Kill Flander. As for Liu Erlong, it would be best to capture him alive; if not, then kill him as well.

Because of a past grudge between the two, Yu Xiaogang never considered asking Dai Mubai for help, and Dai Mubai himself refused to help immediately because of the previous grudge.

When Yu Xiaogang saw that Dai Mubai refused, he used his position as the commander-in-chief of the three armies to pressure him, saying that if he did not agree, he would make things difficult for him.

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai immediately realized that he was not a narrow-minded person and should learn to let go of past grievances and help Yu Xiaogang out.

It’s definitely not because he’s afraid.

"That's right, it was just something I did on the spur of the moment, definitely not because I was worried about the old good-for-nothing's status."

Just as Dai Mubai returned to his original position, the war horn sounded.

"here we go."

People in Tian Dou Xing Luo all think this way, and those people happen to be targeting the same person.

Behind the advancing army.

Dai Mubai walked near the back, followed by only two or three people, all of whom were sentries arranged by Davis to keep an eye on him. "Flander, Liu Erlong..."

Dai Mubai released his spiritual power, searching for the two figures among the Heavenly Dou Soul Master Legion.

Speaking of which, when Dai Mubai was a student at Shrek Academy, he had quite a few interactions with Flander and Liu Erlong.

Flander's shrewd business acumen is tempered with a protective instinct, while Liu Erlong's fiery temper masks a deep care and concern for her students.

If it were a good person, this would be a cherished memory.

But for Dai Mubai now, this is a painful memory to recall, a secret that needs to be kept sealed in his heart and never let anyone else know.

"The fewer people who know the truth, the less known that long-buried past will be."

“Killing them would also be good for me.”

Dai Mubai convinced himself that he was doing this not to help Yu Xiaogang, but for his own sake.

Soon, he found two familiar yet unfamiliar figures in the two Soul Master legions adjacent to Tian Dou.

"I found it, but..."

Dai Mubai shifted his gaze to the rear of the Heavenly Dou army, where several of Heavenly Dou's divine inheritors were located.

"If I get entangled with those inheritors, I won't have the extra energy to kill Flander and Liu Erlong. I need to think of a way."

Moments later, the two armies officially clashed.

The battlefield for Soul Masters and the battlefield for ordinary soldiers are clearly separated in order to prevent the aftershocks of battles between high-level Soul Masters from injuring soldiers who have no power to resist.

Dai Mubai moved across the battlefield, avoiding certain individuals while quickly approaching Liu Erlong's location.

Flander is an agility-based attacker and possesses a martial soul with excellent eyesight, such as the Four-Eyed Owl. While a sneak attack might not guarantee a fatal blow, he is confident he can do it with Liu Erlong.

Moreover, after killing Liu Erlong, given Flander's temperament, he would definitely fight him to the death, so there's no need to worry about the other party running away.

“I’m so smart!”

Dai Mubai boasted to himself, his blood of jealousy boiling within him, the power of the divine artifact empowering his feet and accelerating his progress.

However, preoccupied with his journey, he failed to notice that eight men, led by Davis, were closing in on him from all sides.

"Strange, what are those eight people trying to do?"

Li Cang, whose attention had been focused on Dai Mubai, noticed this.

"It's those guys from Xingluo Team Two, and also Xingluo's eldest prince, Davis."

"So this is an internal power struggle within the royal family? This won't do. If you give up your lives, what about my military merits?"

This discovery made Li Cang anxious. He merged the Wings of Freedom into the wings of his Martial Soul, the Sky-Splitting Falcon, and used his extreme speed to instantly disappear from the spot, leaving no trace.

The next moment, Dai Mubai, who was wandering in the battlefield, suddenly heard a faint sound of air being cut from behind.

"White Tiger Protective Barrier!"

Dai Mubai only had time to use this first soul skill, which could be activated instantly. In an instant, his whole body shone with golden light, and a tiger's roar could be heard.

The expected collision sound did not occur; the attack that should have been accompanied by a whooshing sound seemed to have never existed.

In the void, Li Cang, bearing the Wings of Freedom, held a gleaming silver kitchen knife, radiating a silvery-white spatial power.

"Luckily, I was quick-witted and borrowed this spatial attribute Xuanji Blade from the captain during the truce, otherwise it would have been difficult to kill Dai Mubai in a short time."

His martial soul, the Sky-Splitting Falcon, already possessed spatial attributes, making him incredibly adept at using the Xuanji Blade, which Lin Rong had refined; it was no less powerful than the Wings of Freedom.
