Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

The great battle surrounding Jialing Pass lasted for more than ten days.

Aside from the fact that both sides "lost" about ten Title Douluos on the first day, the intensity of the battle decreased slightly thereafter.

However, over the course of more than ten days, the blood of both sides' Soul Masters almost soaked through Jialing Pass, and more than twenty Title Douluos also perished one after another.

This level of casualties far exceeded the psychological defenses of these Soul Masters who were used to being free.

On one side of the two great empires, some Soul Masters were terrified and, disregarding the possibility of punishment from the divine realm, attempted to escape secretly at night.

bang~
Tang Chen threw more than a dozen bloody heads onto the ground, his tone tinged with excitement.

"I've killed all those who tried to escape, Marshal. Are you satisfied now?"

Ning Qiuyang entrusted Tang Chen with dealing with deserters, a task that would get his hands dirty.

Both Tang San and Rakshasa God disliked Xue Qinghe, but they were happy to accept the order.

After days of fighting, he was able to barely protect himself, but he was exhausted both physically and mentally, and was injured more than once. The blood and soul power of these soul masters replenished his energy, allowing him to quickly recover some of his strength.

Ning Qiuyang said, "Send these heads to the various Soul Master camps so they know that fighting the Spirit Hall to the death might result in death, but deserting will definitely lead to death."

Compared to the past ten days or so, there are far fewer Title Douluos in the main tent.

Among the seven guardians of Poseidon Island, both Sea Ghost Douluo and Sea Star Douluo died. In addition to the Seventh Elder, the Sixth Elder and the Fourth Elder of the Clear Sky Sect also lost their lives one after another.

Those who were forcibly promoted to the Title Douluo level suffered even more casualties.

While ordinary Soul Masters might dare to run away, these Title Douluos wouldn't even dare to entertain the thought of escaping.

"Your Highness, if there's nothing else to say, we'll go and rest."

"No rush." ​​Ning Qiuyang gestured for everyone to sit down.

"Your Highness, is there anything else you wish to instruct us to do?"

Ning Qiuyang remained calm and simply said:
"Just wait. This is an order from the God-King. You just need to obey."

"Yes."

Upon hearing that it was the God-King's command, they all became extremely obedient and sat down quietly.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Although they were titled Douluo and should theoretically have been patient, the continuous battles had left them physically and mentally exhausted, and some of them were feeling sleepy.

In the dead of night, Ning Qiuyang suddenly opened his eyes.

"The time has come."

The person who had been looking tired immediately perked up.

"What instructions does the God-King have?"

Ning Qiuyang said, "The God King and the gods of the God Realm are very concerned about our battle with the Spirit Hall. They specially crafted a divine artifact for us, allowing us to break through the natural barrier of Jialing Pass and launch a surprise attack on them."

"what?"

The group of titled Douluo were both shocked and frightened.

They desperately didn't want to continue this bloody battle with the Spirit Hall; they were alive today, but they might die tomorrow.

However, they were also very uneasy about launching a sneak attack on the Spirit Hall. This sneak attack could very well determine the outcome of the Battle of Jialing Pass, and they didn't know how many more Title Douluos would die.

"Your Highness, when shall we make our move?"

"Tonight, right now, you must immediately gather all Soul Masters. They must be assembled within ten minutes. Anyone who delays will be executed without mercy."

"Yes."

Upon hearing Ning Qiuyang's strict orders, everyone inside the tent sprang into action, and soon the entire Soul Master camp was awakened.

Yu Luomian's feelings were somewhat complicated.

His strength wasn't outstanding among the titled Douluo, but he was lucky. Although the inheritance of the God of Speed ​​he obtained was incomplete, it still greatly increased his ability to protect himself.

After more than ten days of fierce fighting, Yu Luomian was in a dilemma.

If either side had a decisive advantage, he wouldn't have hesitated or wavered. But with both sides evenly matched and losses roughly equal, Yu Luomian felt he might soon die in some battle. Today, Xue Qinghe deliberately kept everyone waiting until now to reveal the attack on the Spirit Hall, clearly indicating he didn't fully trust them.

This made Yu Luomian even more uneasy. In the battles with the Spirit Hall these past few days, his attitude had been somewhat ambiguous, as if he were throwing the fight.

Tonight is a great crisis. Yu Luomian's mind is in turmoil, and she doesn't know if she will be able to see the sun rise tomorrow.

In less than ten minutes, all the Soul Masters had been assembled.

Unlike the Title Douluo, these Soul Masters were in much worse condition.

Their strength is weaker, and the continuous battles have brought many of them to their limits, making it very likely that they will not be able to withstand it.

Upon hearing the news of tonight's sneak attack, they even breathed a sigh of relief.

Whether you succeed or not, whether you live or die, these agonizing days will eventually come to an end.

Before the numerous Soul Masters, Ning Qiuyang took out a compass-like object.

"Gentlemen, whether we can take Jialing Pass in one fell swoop depends on our actions tonight. As long as you do your best, the gods will not be stingy with their rewards when we take Jialing Pass."

"Thank the gods."

"Set off."

The divine power from the God of Destruction within Ning Qiuyang surged into the compass, and a white light enveloped all the Soul Masters. In the next instant, everyone vanished.

At Jialing Pass, Qian Renxue's face also showed signs of fatigue.

As the head of the Spirit Hall, she had many more things to worry about. Although with Ning Qiuyang's cooperation, the Spirit Hall's high-end combat power did not suffer many losses, but in a battle of this magnitude, casualties were inevitable.

Remembering what Ning Qiuyang had told her last night, Qian Renxue gradually clenched her fists.

"It's almost time to wrap things up."

"Xiaoxue, are we going to abandon Jialing Pass tonight?" Qian Daoliu appeared behind Qian Renxue.

"You have to give up something to gain something. What use is a Jialing Pass? It's more important to end the war quickly."

Qian Daoliu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. His granddaughter had become increasingly mature, and her courage far surpassed his own.

Suddenly, a deafening battle cry rang out.

Qian Renxue's gaze sharpened.

coming.

"Enemy attack."

"kill."

The teleportation compass directly transported the Soul Master armies of the two great empires to Jialing Pass.

Whether driven by the desire to win the war or to end the agonizing days quickly, the Soul Masters of both empires unleashed combat power far exceeding their usual levels.

"Xue Qinghe, you're asking for death."

Sword Douluo appeared immediately, his face directly confronting Ning Qiuyang.

"You're the one who deserves to die, as is the Spirit Hall."

Without any probing, a major battle broke out between the two sides.

The other Title Douluos only hoped that Xue Qinghe could keep Ning Qiuyang occupied this time, and not turn his attention to the other Title Douluos after fighting for a while, as before.

At the start of the battle, the Soul Masters of the two empires felt that their side was unstoppable and encountered little strong resistance.

The sneak attack proved effective, further fueling the fighting spirit of the Soul Masters from both empires, who were determined to wipe out most of the Spirit Hall's forces in one fell swoop.

"Don't panic, retreat in stages, I'll hold them off."

Qian Renxue appeared at the crucial moment, and her twelve wings, six black and six white, condensed into a pair of giant black and white wings.

Behind her, there was a bright light.

Before her, darkness stretched endlessly. (End of Chapter)
