Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

Chapter 172 Hu Jie's foundation is destroyed, Yu Xin: Bombard the Tang Clan of Mingdu!

"Lord, the responsibility for this failure lies with me, and I am willing to accept any punishment."

Under the dark night sky, sword light flashed. Hu Jie stood on the merciless sword and apologized to Cao Dezhi in front of him.

"It's not your fault. I didn't stop you, so it's also my responsibility."

Cao Dezhi stood with his hands behind his back, his face more solemn than ever before. He muttered, "The two times we met, this orphan of the Blood God surprised me more and more each time. I really regret not having Zang Xin bring him into the Tang Clan back then."

Hu Jie lowered his head and said, "I didn't expect Mu Ye to create a god-level mecha for him that rivals the top-tier three-word battle armor, allowing him to fight against Super Douluo."

"The explosive power of the Body Martial Soul and the Angel Martial Soul is already unparalleled. When the two are combined, they create a terrifying monster."

As Cao Dezhi's mind wandered through countless scenes, his voice was filled with worry: "Indeed, throughout history, no one's martial spirit is stronger than his; that alone is not bad, but he is not a brute like Yun Ming."

He turned to look at Hu Jie and said quietly, "Hu Jie, if you had encountered these things when you were young, how would you have reacted?"

Hu Jie paused for a moment, then replied without hesitation, "Of course we'll fight first and then talk."

People from Douluo Continent generally don't like to think, and the Body Sect is a gathering place for honey badger-like creatures; they just do whatever comes to mind!

"That's exactly what I'm most worried about." Cao Dezhi sighed and pondered, "If Yun Ming had encountered these things when he was at the height of his power, Xue Liu would have been crippled even if he didn't die; not to mention if he had been assassinated, he would have turned the Federation upside down and caused bloodshed, and he would never have been so polite to me."

"As for me—I might be able to swallow my anger for a while, but I won't be as calm as him."

"Palace Master, are you worried about—" Hu Jie could hear the deep concern in Cao Dezhi's tone.

"Once you've fully recovered from your injuries, go to the Star Luo Empire and become the head of a branch."

Cao Dezhi then told Hu Jie to leave to avoid trouble, and then added, "I can't continue as a three-star general. I'll have to resign tomorrow."

The merciless sword rode the wind, its speed increasing rapidly.

"Go back and think it over carefully: should we just lie low and lie low, or fight back with all our might?"

It was very cold outside, but Hu Jie didn't care. However, Cao Dezhi's deep voice was like a piercing wind, making his stomach churn.

Twenty thousand years into the Tang Sect, at a critical moment of life and death, the six-winged angel reappeared, proving that it was indeed not just a calamity for evil soul masters.

Wow!

Just as he was thinking, Hu Jie suddenly clutched his stomach, spitting out puffs of blood mist from his mouth. His chubby face turned deathly pale, and large patches of his skin cracked and bled profusely.

Cao Dezhi hurriedly went to stabilize his injuries, his face showing surprise: "How come there are still hidden injuries?"

Hu Jie lay on the merciless sword, catching his breath for a moment. He shook his head with a bitter smile and said weakly, "Feng Zaixing used a special technique for his last attack, and the force remained in my body. I didn't pay attention at the time, as I was focused on dealing with Yuan Entiandang. The sudden outburst just now injured my internal organs."

"With my internal organs damaged, I was instantly unable to suppress the injuries left by Yuanen and his son. All sorts of injuries erupted at once, resulting in this situation."

Cao Dezhi's eyes widened: "Then now?"

"I won't die," Hu Jie said, then his face showed despair, and his withered face wore a desolate smile.

"But once the foundation of Qi and blood is destroyed by the wind, there is no hope of pushing the limits, and the decline of Qi and blood will accelerate."

For a Soul Master, life force is life itself; conservatively speaking, he lost fifteen years of his lifespan.

"Damn it, ugh—"

Cao Dezhi's attempts to save Hu Jie failed several times, and his face turned extremely pale. Hu Jie's vital energy was severely damaged, and even bringing Ya Li to help was of no use.

The following day, news spread throughout the Sun and Moon Federation: Cao Dezhi, the former leader of the Tang Clan and the Douluo Hall, who had served as a three-star general of the Federation, gave a report to the Federation, stating that he was no longer ashamed to serve as a general due to the misconduct of his disciples and was therefore dismissed.

As the news spread throughout the Federation, Le Zhengyang and Yu Guanjun used their imaginations to visualize the Tang Clan assassination incident and transmit the process to the Blood God Legion.

After watching the video, Legion Commander Mingjing Douluo, Deputy Legion Commander Long Tianwu, and other high-ranking members of the Blood God Legion, as well as the seven original Blood Gods of the Blood God Camp, fell silent. Blood Three and Blood Five wanted to raise objections, but seeing the anger rising in the new Blood One Mu Ye, they swallowed their words.

The evidence is irrefutable, leaving no room for argument; the unprovoked assassination of a federal major general is tantamount to treason, and Feng Zaixing has already done everything he could to be righteous.

"How could this be? How could this happen?!"

Zhang Huanyun, the Mirror Douluo, sighed repeatedly. The most outstanding orphan of the Blood God and the former guardian of the Blood God Legion were now standing on the opposite side. How could he, as the legion commander, put himself in such a position?

But for now, all he can do is grumble; with Cao Dezhi's golden body shattered, if Zhang Huanyun dares to have any ulterior motives, Mu Ye will take him down on the spot without hesitation.

Mu Ye sneered and declared, "The Body Sect is willing to sacrifice itself for the Federation's cause and the survival of humanity, but it will never tolerate anyone stabbing us in the back! If this happens again, I will slaughter the Tang Sect soldiers! Don't think I'm as kind-hearted as my disciple!"

The blood gods turned pale and hurriedly tried to persuade them with kind words.

At this point, Cao Dezhi, the former Blood God Legion leader, became a taboo within the Blood God Legion. The council passed a resolution jointly proposed by the four ultimate warriors, Chen Xinjie, Yu Guanzhi, Le Zhengyang, and Dong Zian, allowing each legion to send its best officers to the Blood God Legion for rotation.

Unbeknownst to them, a large number of outstanding core members from Shrek Academy and Tang Sect in the Blood God Legion were transferred away. Blood God III and Blood God V were filled with resentment, but there was nothing they could do.

With Cao Dezhi's resignation, the Shi Tang faction has completely lost power, and the doves have been implicated again, their voices now less influential than even the centrists.

Some of the last group of lawmakers who spoke up for the Tang Clan resigned, and the hardliners faced the FBI's sanctions.

Not long after, a member of parliament hanged himself at home, and another person committed suicide in the street after being shot eight times in the back.

Some lawmakers even took to the sea on a whim, participating in a marine diving competition, becoming so engrossed in the thrill of winning that they never returned.

Mingdu, a branch of the Tang Clan.

Yu Xin remained expressionless, bringing with her a dozen or so titled Douluo and thousands of soldiers from the Central Legion. Their banners blotted out the sky, forming a vast and imposing force that completely surrounded the branch.

The Tang Clan branch manager and his staff turned deathly pale: "You, you all—"

"The FBI has received reports of numerous misdeeds by the Tang Clan branch and the Xuan Shi Tang Clan Group. Therefore, it has sealed off all properties under the Tang Clan name in Mingdu City and dozens of surrounding cities."

Yu Xin spoke coldly, showing an investigation certificate and a special action order from the Central Legion. Then, with a wave of her hand, thousands of fully armed soldiers surged in like a tide, removing the Tang Clan branch's signboard.

The Tang Clan members were determined to resist, but the dozen or so Title Douluos opposite them instantly unleashed their auras. They were all three-word Battle Armor Masters, giving them no hope whatsoever.

"Don't worry, I've brought the best financial auditing firm in the entire Federation. The results will be publicly certified throughout the process, and the Tang Clan will not be wronged in the slightest."

Yu Xin, draped in a snow-white robe and with fiery red hair, walked step by step, her dark eyes gleaming with a serene light. She pushed aside two Tang Clan experts, and a melodious yet chilling voice emanated from her red lips.

"However, we will never overlook any problem; we hope that the Tang Clan, which has been rooted in the mainland for 20,000 years, will always be as it is in its propaganda, the most important non-governmental organization on the mainland, righteous and compassionate."

The Tang Clan leader's forehead was soaked with sweat, which dripped down his back, and a chill ran down his spine.

Which company that can grow into such a giant has clean accounts? It may not weigh more than four ounces on the scale, but once it's on the scale, it's more than a thousand pounds!

"During this period, please remain in your current location and isolate yourselves from the outside world. The FBI and the Central Corps will be responsible for ensuring your safety."

After saying that, Yu Xin didn't look at the Tang Clan members again. The audit team behind her pounced on them like hungry wolves, determined to investigate this number one oligarch on the continent thoroughly!

The people of Mingdu Tangmen were immediately filled with despair. The person in charge beat his chest and stamped his feet, and gradually collapsed to the ground.

If they were too slow to escape and were targeted by this young lady, Mingdu and all the surrounding businesses would be ruined.

However, they did not dare to resist for the time being. Not to mention the dozen or so three-word battle armor masters, the Central Legion had also set up soul-guided cannons in the distance, aiming at them from afar.

None of the fixed-mount soul-guided shells that were loaded were lower than level seven!

Good luck, everyone.

Long Chen and Le Zhengyu looked at the group with sympathy. They all said that their boss was ruthless, but in fact, he was a kind-hearted person who acted decisively.

Soon, the Tang Clan Company was filled with the sounds of smashing and looting. The faint sounds of people fighting over account books could be heard, along with shouts of "Don't let him burn the soul guide recorder!" A battle broke out.

The surging sword energy soared into the sky, seemingly drawing in streaks of starlight, transforming them into fierce sharpness. The Star God Sword drank blood repeatedly.

The crowd outside the Tang Sect was enormous. Tang Wulin and Xie Xie looked at each other, both feeling awkward.

"Wu Lin, we're too late. The Tang Sect has been taken down by the FBI, so we can't challenge them."

Xie Xie discovered that wherever he went, he would see Tang Clan members suffering misfortune, and the troubles were always different.

"What should we do then? The dean told us to challenge the Tang Clan more often, and even emphasized that challenging the Mingdu Tang Clan would earn us extra points."

Tang Wulin spoke with a hint of disappointment, his eyes filled with a sense of loss as if he could see the days of daily feasts slipping away from him.

For a foodie, that's incredibly cruel!

Xu Xiaoyan, munching on a lollipop, her starry eyes sparkling, looked incredibly cute: "Hey, your dean can't be unreasonable, can he? Wouldn't it be more entertaining to film this and show it to him than to win the competition?"

"Xiao Yan is so clever!" Xie Xie immediately took out his camera and focused intently on finding the best angle to capture the moment.

Tang Wulin glanced at the scene of the conflict, where Ye Xinglan was fighting several people single-handedly with her sword. His eyes changed color: "Xiao Yan, her sword is very powerful, many times sharper than the previous ones."

"It's alright. I saw her when I was cultivating at the Star Observatory."

Xu Xiaoyan said, "Where the starlight was dim, I suddenly turned around, and there she was in the shadows."

As they were talking, Le Zhengyu and Long Chen, two formidable generals, joined the battle.

"Lion King's Roar to the Heavens!" Yue Zhengyu unleashed a blue lion from his right arm, its deep flames reaching an incredibly high temperature, emanating from a Soul Master...

Even the Soul King couldn't withstand a single blow.

"Earth Dragon Rending Across the Sky!" Long Chen's left leg trembled three times in succession, and the light and shadow of the Golden Earth Dragon King shot into the sky, sweeping away a group of purple mechs, and the black mechs retreated one after another.

Outside the Tang Sect, several Title Douluo rushed in to eliminate the die-hard elements.

"Stop!"

The Tang Clan leader finally erupted. Yu Xin seemed to have anticipated this, and with a flick of her wrist, she took out a dozen or so level-nine soul tools that provided soul power with sealed milk bottles. Her spiritual power at the late stage of the Spirit Abyss Realm was in no way inferior, and the dark cannon muzzles in the distance also turned their direction.

"Resist law enforcement, kill," she ordered in a clear voice.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" ————

A barrage of fixed-position soul-guided projectiles, like shooting stars, pierced through the crowds, causing the sea of ​​people to recede like a receding tide. The Mingdu Tangmen branch was greeted by a colorful rain of light and the shadow of life's demise.

The deafening roar of artillery fire meant that the Tang Clan experts probably no longer needed to protect the ledgers.

Tang and Xie were both deathly pale, muttering, "The Dean only had us challenge the Tang Clan for fun; this is what a real spectacle is all about—"

Xu Xiaoyan whispered, "Actually, the president's attitude towards those reclusive families is to kill the ringleaders and disarm them completely. We can give the collateral branches of Wuqian a chance."

"Sister Yu's idea is to send all those who have had business dealings with those reclusive families to the execution ground for target practice."

"what?"

"Yes, that's it."

Xu Xiaoyan shook her head and sighed softly, licking her lollipop as she said, "Now that the president has been assassinated by the Tang Clan and is recovering from her injuries, no one can stop Sister Yu anymore."

"Sigh—why bother? The president has always been a kind person."
