Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 440 Attack on the Mermaid Princess

The Ice Sea Soul Corps has ample logistical reserves; Dongyang City is the largest granary and material reserve in the northeastern part of the entire Sun Moon Empire.

That is why such a powerful Soul Master Corps is stationed here. As long as they are not withdrawn, it will be very difficult to break through Dongyang City and even the surrounding cities.

At this moment, the third round of soul-guided coordinated firing was ready. Qian Renxue focused her mind slightly and issued an order for the undead army that had already charged out to retreat slightly.

In fact, most of the undead creatures she summoned were relatively weak; it would take two or three of them together to contend with a low-level soul beast.

However, the advantage of these creatures lies in their fearlessness, insensitivity to pain, and instinct-driven killing.

She had no doubt that she wouldn't even need to reach the Title Douluo level herself; even just reaching the Soul Saint level would be enough to summon a massive army of undead. At that point, she estimated that Zhongli Wu, the sect leader, would be ready to abdicate in her favor as the Holy Maiden.

Because Qian Renxue can do more than just summon undead creatures. As long as there is enough energy, her second martial soul and third soul skill, Thousand Threads of Summoning, can also transform the summoned energy into various energy creatures for combat.

This soul skill was inspired not only by her mother Bibi Dong's soul skill, but also by the lightning bolts that transformed into various beast shapes as they struck when the Ice Emperor was undergoing her tribulation. Bibi Dong summoned the death energy from the ground, while the heavenly lightning utilized her own lightning energy.

To better control the undead creatures, Qian Renxue quietly switched to her second martial soul. The use of necromancy ceased when the summoning ended, allowing her to fully utilize her martial soul's abilities.

"retreat!"

As if receiving a command, the undead creatures retreated from the ice towards the coastline in unison, followed by the roar of hundreds of level-seven soul-guided cannons!

The Sea Princess also noticed the unusual situation in the icy sea below her while in mid-air, but she couldn't afford to be distracted at the moment. Although the Snow Empress was no longer a ferocious beast, she and the Ice Empress seemed to be even more troublesome than before after they cooperated.

She couldn't afford to be distracted, but her powerful mental strength also told her that her subordinates and other sea spirit beasts were being slaughtered.

Normal sea spirit beasts rarely provoke trouble. Even the deep-sea demon whale, which was branded an evil spirit beast, usually spends most of its time sleeping. When it wakes up, it eats any spirit beasts that accidentally swim into its mouth, and then goes back to sleep after it's full.

However, it is clear that the sea spirit beasts in the icy sea are not normal spirit beasts. Over the past few thousand years, they have been constantly causing trouble and have thus learned about some of the spirit guidance techniques developed by land spirit masters.

At the start of this battle, the Sea Princess clan planned to first control the sailors and fishermen to sail their ships into the icy sea, then have the humans take their ships and commit suicide, thereby weakening the Ice Sea Soul Master Corps' underwater combat capabilities. They would then continue to harass them day by day until they submitted to the Sea God.

But no one expected that the mermaid spirit combination skill, which they had placed so much hope in, would be blown to smithereens by the Ice and Snow Emperors, who were also soul beasts, using human soul tools.

And what's with all this undead army?!

Could it be that these evil humans have evolved from capturing sea spirit beasts and refining their vengeful spirits to being able to summon them anytime, anywhere?

Moreover, these individuals are all fearless and undaunted by death.

No, these aren't just simple vengeful spirits. Why do these undead creatures still emit fluctuations of light, even divine aura? It's like the light of the sea god that was released when the sea god saved some lowly sea spirit beasts... The sea princess was confused; she felt her beliefs were being challenged.

She had lived for nearly 600,000 years, yet she felt that what she had experienced in the past year or so was far beyond her comprehension.

However, the soul-guided array gave her no time to think. While she was still confused about whether to order the sea spirit beast to retreat or to step forward and receive the baptism of holy light, the fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs representing destruction had already crashed down.

The bombardment of hundreds of level-seven soul-guided cannons was a salvo, because the undead army had given the warriors enough time to prepare. The previous batch bombardments were just appetizers. This time, after the warm-up, the fixed soul-guided shells roared in unison without reservation.

Countless dazzling fireworks rose from the sea.

In fact, the Ice Sea Soul Master Corps possesses level eight and even level nine fixed-position soul tools, but they chose not to use them at this moment. They knew that this was a launch into the ocean, and if they were to use these advanced devices, human life would likely be affected for a long time to come.

After the two Ice and Snow Emperors arrived here, they brought faith and protection to the people. Therefore, although waging war against the Ice Sea was a helpless move, they still exercised a certain degree of restraint.

After this volley of fire, the sea spirit beast army finally couldn't hold on any longer. Not all sea spirit beasts wanted to launch a beast tide attack on the coast. After the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan was almost wiped out, the other sea spirit beasts were even less willing to provoke the two Heavenly Kings of the far north.

Therefore, this beast tide was not even half the size of the Star Dou attack on Shrek City.

It's important to know that the Sea Princess is not the only ferocious beast in the icy sea!

"This is the sea god you worship? The sea god is sending you to your deaths, sending you to your deaths," the Snow Empress mocked.

At that moment, Hyotei's eyes hardened, and a powerful attack was unleashed from her dazzling right fist—Hyotei's Claw.

Unlike the Snow Emperor's Palm, which requires a direct hit to the opponent's body to be effective, the Ice Emperor's Claw can release extreme ice energy from a distance.

The sharp icicle mentioned by the believer was indeed released at this moment, like an invincible ice spike that shattered enemies, and arrived in front of the 100,000-year-old mermaid princess in an instant.

This mermaid princess was previously the core of the Spirit Web combination technique, having just broken through the 100,000-year level not long ago.

"Fifth Elder!!" Qian Renxue roared, "Help the Ice Emperor capture that mermaid princess!!"

Wan Hun Douluo was shocked. After Qian Renxue demonstrated her ability to summon undead creatures, he was truly convinced. So when he heard the Holy Maiden's voice, he immediately activated more than half of the vengeful spirits in his hands and attacked the weakened mermaid princess!

I'll be updating again tomorrow at 8 AM, so please continue to support me!

Thank you so much!
