Douluo: Shark Hunting Blade, Lurking in the Dark!

Lan sat cross-legged, his soul power surging throughout his body like a surging river.

After practicing in seclusion,

He completely absorbed the three hundred thousand year soul bones left by Tang Chen.

This made his strength take another qualitative leap.

The age of each soul bone in the soul bone set is close to 900,000 years!
It is not far from a million-year soul bone.

Lan felt the unprecedented power in his body.

His strength has reached a whole new level.

He looked down at his feet and saw that his original spirit ring had undergone a drastic change.

Two dazzling golden soul rings were quietly suspended under his feet, emitting a heart-pounding pressure.

Lan slowly stood up, took a deep breath, and restrained the breath around him.

The suffocating pressure disappeared in an instant, and at this moment he looked no different from an ordinary person.

"It's time to take care of those chores."

Lan whispered to himself, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

He pushed open the door, and with a flash of his body, he rushed towards Tiandou City.

…………

Outside Tiandou City,

The sky was covered with dark clouds and the drums of war were roaring.

The hundreds of thousands of troops of the Spirit Hall were like a black tide, surrounding Tiandou City tightly.

Flags fluttered, swords and knives appeared like forests, and the air was filled with a strong atmosphere of murderous aura.

On the city wall, the soldiers of the Tiandou Empire were on high alert, staring grimly at the densely packed enemy troops below the city.

The Spirit Hall's army has launched several fierce charges, trying to break through Tiandou City's defenses in one fell swoop.

However, the walls of Tiandou City are extremely solid, like an unshakable mountain.

The defenders on the city wall, relying on their superior position, used rain of arrows and rolling stones to repel the enemy's attacks time and time again.

With every charge, the Spirit Hall soldiers seemed to hit an invisible wall, suffering heavy casualties, but were still unable to break through the defense line.

Since ancient times, siege warfare has been one of the most brutal battles.

The attackers often have to pay several times more than the defenders to have a chance to break into the city.

At this moment, the army of the Spirit Hall was obviously in such a dilemma.

Despite their large numbers and fierce momentum, their offensive seemed pale and powerless in the face of Tiandou City's impregnable defense.

To make matters worse for the Spirit Hall, their top combat forces - the seven priests - had all suffered varying degrees of injuries in the fierce battle with Tang Chen and the Haotian Sect, and were currently recuperating and unable to participate in the battle.

The power of the two Titled Douluo, Yueguan and Guimei, is obviously not enough to change the situation of the battle.

Although Yueguan and Guimei are Titled Douluo, they seem to be somewhat overwhelmed when facing the solid defense of Tiandou City.

Inside the military camp, the candlelight flickered, illuminating Qian Renxue's cold and calm face.

She stood in front of a topographic map of Tiandou City, her eyes deep, her brows slightly furrowed, and she fell into deep thought.

On the map, Tiandou City’s walls, streets, and fortifications were all marked in detail, and even the terrain outside the city was clearly visible.

In the past few days, she has been thinking about how to break through Tiandou City.

Although the Spirit Hall's army had an absolute advantage in numbers, Tiandou City's geographical advantage caused their offensive to be repeatedly frustrated.

Relying on the towering city walls and tight defense system, the coalition forces of the two empires blocked the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Spirit Hall outside the city.

Qian Renxue knew that siege warfare was never an easy task, especially when facing a strong city like Tiandou City that had withstood thousands of years of wind and rain. She was not surprised by the current stalemate.

After all, if the capitals of the two empires could be conquered so easily, the Spirit Hall would have unified the continent long ago.

At this moment, the Thorny Porpoise Douluo standing beside her suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence in the tent: "Your Holiness, you don't have to worry so much."

"Our army has surrounded Tiandou City and cut off their connection with the outside world. The resources in Tiandou City are limited. We can delay them to death."

The voice of the Thorny Porpoise Douluo was low and confident, as if he had already seen the scene of Tiandou City collapsing after its resources were exhausted.

What he said is not without reason.

Although Tiandou City is strong, the food, water and other supplies in the city are limited after all.

Once these resources are exhausted, the defenders and civilians in the city will be in dire straits. At that time, the Spirit Hall's army will be able to attack the city without any effort.

There was a deep, thoughtful look in her eyes, as if she was weighing every possible consequence.

After a while,

She nodded slowly, her voice low and firm: "You are right. Delaying the battle is indeed a strategy. But the longer it takes, the more confusing the outcome of the battle will become, and it may even be beyond our control."

Especially after the gods intervened in human affairs, Qian Renxue always felt a little uneasy.

She was worried that there would be other gods secretly helping the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire.

After all, the power of gods far exceeds that of mortals, and once they intervene, the situation will become unpredictable.

therefore,

Solve it as soon as possible.

What's more, her angel god test is about to enter the most critical moment.

That was her last step towards becoming a god, and she didn't want the affairs of the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire to affect her test for godhood.

Unifying the continent is the goal that Spirit Hall must accomplish, but she has a deeper desire in her heart.
She wants to be with Lan forever.

Fight alongside him and face future powerful enemies together.

She knew that only by becoming a god could she truly achieve all this.

Just as Qian Renxue was pondering how to break the current deadlock, the voice of Snake Spear Douluo came from outside the tent, interrupting her thoughts.

"Your Holiness, Lord Lan has arrived, and he has brought Dugu Bo with him."

Snake Spear Douluo walked into the tent and spoke respectfully.

When she heard Dugu Bo's name, a light flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes.

.........

There was a biting cold wind outside Tiandou City.

Lan and Dugu Bo stood side by side at the forefront of the tens of thousands of troops.

Lan's gaze was fixed on the towering Tiandou city wall in front of him, his expression calm and profound.

He spoke slowly: "If you don't want to do it, I won't force you."

Dugu Bo chuckled and shook his head when he heard this: "Dean Lan, you are worrying too much. Although I have lived in Tiandou City for a long time, it was only to repay Prince Xuexing's kindness. Over the years, I have done a lot for him in secret, and we have long since forgiven each other."

There was a hint of relief in his tone, as if he had unloaded years of burden.

immediately,

Dugu Bo's eyes became firm, and he continued, "What's more, if it weren't for Dean Lan's help, my granddaughter and I would have been poisoned to the bone marrow and would not have lived long. I can stand here today, all thanks to your kindness."

"I will keep this affection in my heart."

"Even if I, Dugu Bo, bear the infamy of a thousand generations and am despised by thousands of people, so what?" (End of this chapter)
