Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 536 Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?

Everyone looked up at the sky and saw three level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells streaking across the sky. In the blink of an eye, they rushed to the back of a small mountain peak that they could see, and then made a deafening and violent explosion!

"This is... a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell?"

Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu both felt their teeth chatter. This was a level that their Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department had never reached before. Their highest achievement to date was only an eighth-level Soul Guidance Device.

Even though they were still some distance from the explosion site, they could still feel the terrifying power of that force.

"The place where the shell exploded..." Cai Meier's voice was hoarse, "...seems to be our destination..."

But this was not the end. The second, third, and even fourth rounds of soul-guided bombardment followed one after another. Although they could only see the traces of missiles and hear some explosions, it did not stop them from imagining what had happened over there.

"What a waste!" Qian Duoduo exclaimed in anguish, "More than twenty level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells!!"

"Shouldn't you be concerned about who got killed in the explosion?" Zhongli Wu, dressed in black robes, asked.

Qian Duoduo: "..."

He had no doubt that the Holy Spirit Cult and even the Spirit Hall were involved in this massive explosion!

"The Sun Moon Empire, the Holy Spirit Cult, the Spirit Hall!"

Fan Yu's face trembled with fear: "A soul-guided attack of this level would undoubtedly reduce an entire area to ashes. Where did you bomb? Never mind, no matter where you bombed, it won't be long before there's widespread devastation. As the instigators, aren't you afraid of divine retribution?"

Zhongli Wu said calmly, "You don't need to tell me these things. Back then, Mu En from your Shrek Academy avenged a nobleman from the Heavenly Soul Empire for the sake of a talented student; the former Star Luo Empire has been waging military conflicts against the Sun and Moon Empire for so many years, and even condoned Dai Hao's massacre of civilians. Have you ever thought about divine retribution during these times?"

"Nonsense!" an elder roared in anger. "Elder Mu's condition for avenging Zhang Lexuan was that no member of that child's family would escape unscathed! As for what the Star Luo Empire did, what does it have to do with Shrek Academy?"

"Yes, as you said, your student's entire family was wiped out." Zhongli Wu sighed. "That's a blood feud. Only by killing all the enemies can we feel at ease, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank.

They understood all too well what those words meant: a blood feud between Shrek Academy and the Spirit Hall... it was something that could be described as more than just a blood feud.

"So, the place you bombed..." Qingying Shenying's voice also became hoarse.

"Guess," Zhongli Wu waved his hand dismissively. "Anyway, you're the ones who should be worried."

At this moment, Zhongli Wu was completely convinced of Qian Renxue, the so-called disciple of his mother. He knew it was all Qian Renxue's plan, but when more than twenty level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells actually rained down...

He then realized he was a true failure! Perhaps he should abdicate as the leader of the Holy Spirit Church and quickly step down.

Ruthless, truly ruthless.

If he knew that Qian Renxue hadn't followed the initial plan to evacuate fifteen minutes early, but instead used him as a thorn in the side to pin that group of people down at Yunzhong Farmhouse, he probably would have submitted immediately.

"Stop your nonsense!" the Crimson King roared at Zhongli Wu. "I finally decided to cooperate with you human soul masters, but it looks like we soul beasts are fighting each other!!"

Zhongli Wuxin said that it wasn't because you guys were stupid.

The frontline battlefield personnel originally intended to end the battle using only soul-guided technology, but the charge of the soul beasts left them unsure whether to continue bombing.

If they keep exploding... "Then keep exploding!" Zhongli Wu waved his hand.

...So let them fight like dogs?

"No, no, no! Don't blow it up!" the Demon King roared. "If you blow it up, our cubs will suffer!"

Damn it, they just felt the power of the level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell too! If this happened in their soul beast camp...

"Look at yourself." They couldn't see Zhongli Wu's expression, but the Demon King's spiritual power still detected the resentful look on the Holy Spirit Cult Master's face.

He was clearly overjoyed inside his black robe.

"Then use artillery shells to block their retreat," Zhongliwu ordered.

As the battle unfolded, from high above, countless bodies and corpses gathered on the ground, including those of Soul Masters and Soul Beasts, as well as scattered transparent remnants of souls and countless white and yellow soul rings drifting about.

Countless shell craters and billowing black smoke added to the atmosphere of the battle.

About twenty minutes after the distant explosion, Shrek's side was finally about to give out.

Under the protection of the Demon King, the Golden Dragon Girl Qiu'er and the Silver Dragon Girl Nana were like uninhabited lands, their Golden Dragon Spear and Silver Dragon Spear constantly reaping the lives of low-level Soul Masters.

Meanwhile, the Golden Dragon Spear was constantly absorbing the life force from the battlefield and feeding it back to Qiu'er. Although it was the first time she had ever wielded this spear, she used it very naturally, as if a memory from her bloodline was guiding her in its movements.

Her true form, the Imperial Beast, also played a very important role on this battlefield. It seems that she was guided by the power of destiny and a strong spiritual force, so she could always find the opponent's weaknesses and loopholes.

"Ah, Nana is so tired." After fighting for a while, Nana got bored. She stood still, holding her silver dragon spear, looking like she wanted to go on strike.

"Those two cunning Soul Masters!" Qiu'er glared hatefully at Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong. Protected by Qian Duoduo's Wulong Shield Martial Soul, these two had managed to hide among the crowd and survive until now.

"Master of the Treasure Pavilion, let's find a chance to retreat. We are no match for them. Even if we can find a way to break through, how many of these low-level students can get out?" Shi Xing growled at the Azure Shadow Divine Eagle.

If they only have this one round of Title Douluo, then they can actually run away.

"No, we're completely surrounded." The Azure Shadow Divine Eagle blocked an attack and then looked in the direction they came from. It seemed that a new group of soul beasts was also approaching, led by Bi Ji, whom they had fought before.

"Damn it, why did you run away?" Shi Xing was furious.

"Aren't you going to run and just wait to die in Shrek City?" The Azure Shadow Eagle glared fiercely at Shi Xing, then said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Do you know why the Sea God's Decree could be issued? Because that Sea God Pavilion Master with the Clear Sky Hammer is very likely already dead!"

Shi Xing stared wide-eyed.

"Don't you realize that about ten days after he left, our Treasure Pavilion contacted the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, to which we were about to go? They said the Clear Sky School had dispatched some elders on a mission. And now, the place we're about to go has been bombarded by more than twenty level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells!"

"If they could unleash an explosion of this level at this time, does that mean they also killed Haotian Douluo with a similar attack?" Qingying Divine Eagle looked at Shixing with disappointment, "You, the city defense officer, don't even have this much analytical ability?"

"Then we can only... try to break through." Shi Xing gritted his teeth, thinking to himself, "Damn it, I came out to carry out a mission and ended up getting myself into trouble."

"Fortunately, the Sea God's Token is genuine. Once we break through, we'll try to find the remaining Shrek Surveillance Team members in the Douling Empire," the Azure Shadow Divine Eagle transmitted telepathically. "We need to reorganize our resistance; a single spark can start a prairie fire!"

Just then, a figure appeared in the sky.
