Douluo: I, the Sun God

Chapter 172 Subduing the Army
"Roar!"

The golden crocodile began to swing its body wildly, its soul power flowing continuously and bursting out with terrifying power. The scales on its back shone with golden light, and the light and shadow were like the sharpest blade in the world, shooting straight at Xu Yang's face, trying to make Xu Yang hesitate and release him.

But the result was simply that he released his left hand, then opened his other hand and pressed it down.

Xu Yang's hands glowed with a golden-red light, and the power of the pure white world gathered in his palms. The countless light and shadow that could cut through gold and jade were separated into precise soul power and disappeared the moment they touched Xu Yang's left hand.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Yang clenched his left fist and threw punch after punch.

"what!"

With each punch, the Golden Crocodile's massive body would stiffen and let out a shrill cry. This was not because the Golden Crocodile lacked willpower or could not endure the pain, but because Xu Yang's fist contained not only physical attacks but also attacks that struck the soul directly. He had never felt pain before. The soul power emanating from his other hand was like silk threads, penetrating into the acupoints all over his body, spreading throughout his body along the meridians, and even taking root in the soul core in his dantian. Therefore, he could not even make contact with the true body of his martial soul.

Not only that, these golden-red threads were constantly breaking down his soul power, meridians, muscles, and bones... Although the process was difficult, the feeling of waiting to die made him extremely uncomfortable.

Gradually, Jin E grew desperate, because he realized that no matter what he did, he couldn't break free from Xu Yang's grasp, and his injuries were getting worse and worse...

……

Qian Renxue, who was in the sky near the military camp, suddenly felt a pain in her chest and a bad premonition surged up. She quickly turned her head to look at the Tiandou Royal Academy and spread her spiritual power to try to sense the situation there, but there was no disturbance of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. She immediately understood what had happened and tears flowed down her face involuntarily.

"Second Grandpa!"

Qian Renxue never expected that Xu Yang, a Soul Saint, could kill Jin E. Based on her original strength, she deduced that even if Jin E couldn't kill Xu Yang, he couldn't possibly be no match for Xu Yang. However, the reality was quite the opposite; Xu Yang's strength was actually above that of her second grandfather.

Ignoring her grief, Qian Renxue focused her gaze on the battlefield outside the military camp, feeling the domineering and extremely sharp sword energy of Sword Douluo Chenxin, as well as the violent spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Her heart grew increasingly desolate. That was the place where the remaining enshrined warriors fought together against Sword Douluo Chenxin.

She understood that this was a two-pronged operation by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. On one hand, Xu Yang was going to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to stall Jin E, while on the other hand, Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi were bringing the army under their control. Even if it was only a small part, it would make her, the new emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, unstable.

And all of this is related to Xu Yang.

"Xu Yang, I will never let you go!" Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with hatred as well as some other emotions.

However, she dared not linger for a moment and flew towards the battlefield at full speed. She had already lost her second grandfather and could not let Chen Xin kill her other grandfathers. She could sense that Chen Xin's strength was no weaker than her grandfather's, and even stronger in terms of attack. Her five grandfathers were definitely no match for him.

As the daughter of the former Pope of the Spirit Hall and the granddaughter of Qian Daoliu, her understanding of the Title Douluo cultivation level is far beyond what ordinary people can match. Level 99 and below are two completely different worlds. Being able to cultivate to level 99 means that this person has the potential to become a god. Therefore, the peak of level 99 is also known as a demigod.

And as long as they are associated with gods, it means they are no longer mortals.

Even if her other grandfathers were stronger, they could only hold out for a short time. In the long run, they would definitely be no match for her. These five grandfathers were fighting Chen Xin for her sake. Otherwise, they would not have been able to persist like this.

"It seems things went well with Yang'er! Jin'e didn't come with Qian Renxue!"

Seeing the figure flash across the sky, Ning Fengzhi immediately recognized who it was, and was secretly delighted. Although he had never seen Qian Renxue's true appearance, the iconic golden wings of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul were too distinctive for him to miss. "Sect Master Ning, that was just now..."

The middle-aged man standing nearby also saw Qian Renxue flash by in the air and asked in confusion.

“That’s Qian Renxue, who plays Xue Qinghe. She must be anxious to save those people from before!” Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

When he arrived at the military camp, all five elders of the Spirit Hall were there. He didn't want to waste any more words and directly ordered Chen Xin to take action, launching an attack on the group. None of them could defeat Chen Xin in a one-on-one fight; they could only unite to fight together and contend with him.

Fearing that the fighting would affect the soldiers inside the camp, the group fought and retreated, keeping the battlefield outside the camp.

Ning Fengzhi took advantage of this break to come to the military camp and found the General Zhen Dong next to him, whose name was Chai Sang. Although he was a non-military general, he was currently one of the higher-ranking generals in the military camp. Most importantly, Ning Fengzhi was quite familiar with this general and had not yet joined the Spirit Hall.

As for the high-ranking generals, all but two of them who chose to join the Spirit Hall were killed.

"It seems the rumors are true."

Cai Sang gave a wry smile. In fact, he knew the rumors were true when the Spirit Hall elders suddenly appeared. However, he had been clinging to a sliver of hope, believing that the current emperor was only cooperating with the Spirit Hall to eliminate dissidents in the court.

Now that he has seen Qian Renxue's true appearance, he has finally given up hope.

"So, General Chai, what's your decision?" Ning Fengzhi asked with a smile.

“I agree. From now on, I, Caisang, and my 30,000 knights will be at your command.”

As he spoke, Chaisang knelt down on one knee, his face full of respect.

"General Chai, please rise!" Ning Fengzhi stepped forward to help Cai Sang up and said kindly, "However, you are not at my beck and call, but my disciple Xu Yang."

"Ah!" Chaisang was a little confused.

"General Chai, you know the status of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the Soul Master world. It's simply impossible for us to establish a country. So I plan to build the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School into a sect that protects the country. And the emperor sent my disciple here. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Understood!" Cai Sang nodded. For him now, there was not much difference between being loyal to Ning Fengzhi and being loyal to Xu Yang.

Most importantly, he knew Xu Yang and knew that he was a genius. Following such a person, he believed that his past would not be bad.

Just as Ning Fengzhi was talking with Chai Sang, an even more powerful aura suddenly erupted from the battlefield. It turned out that Qian Renxue had arrived and ordered the five elders to retreat immediately. In order to keep them here, Chen Xin unleashed his full strength.

　I've been preparing for exams these past few days, so updates have been less frequent. I'll catch up later.
