Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 495 Nemesis

What kind of power is hidden in the far north ice field? Is it just because of mining the rare metal ores here that they have been angered?

That's the only thing they can think of right now. Otherwise, they didn't provoke the soul beasts of the far north ice plains. They must have nothing better to do than come to their camp and wreak havoc!

It wasn't just the Soul Masters who heard the voice of the Titan Snow Demon King; ordinary soldiers did too. Compared to the Soul Masters, the soldiers were even more terrified of the terrifying Soul Beast, which was hundreds of meters tall. Coupled with the extreme cold, their morale was thrown into chaos.

Orange floated quietly in mid-air. Others didn't know Ji Lin's identity, but she knew it very well. She didn't believe that the soul beasts were only angry and attacked them because they were mining metal ore in the far north. There must be a reason for Ji Lin's actions. She just didn't know what the relationship was between these soul beasts and Ji Lin.

Could Ji Lin have come for these metal ores as well? Where did he get this information? And how did he manage to cooperate with the soul beasts?

Even if Ju Zi was very smart, she couldn't understand how the soul beasts of the far north were being used by Ji Lin. She had just seen clearly that the soul beasts were all following Ji Lin's commands. It was all premeditated and planned. During the whole process, there were few casualties, but all the soul tools were destroyed, and her side failed to cause any trouble for the enemy.

If the soul beasts hadn't obeyed Ji Lin's commands, they couldn't have cooperated so well and fought such a perfect surprise attack.

But at this moment, Orange was no longer able to think about anything else. She gritted her teeth, snorted angrily, and immediately issued a series of orders.

The first step was to rescue the soldiers whose tents had been destroyed and temporarily move them to the tents that had been preserved intact under the joint defense.

She didn't care about the crowds, and she ordered all the Soul Masters of the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps to vacate their tents for the wounded soldiers to live in.

The Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps is equipped with a full range of soul tools, and each person has their own tent. Even though it is not large, it can easily accommodate several people. Moreover, the tanned cowhide tents are much warmer than ordinary tents, making them perfect for saving lives.

While doing all this, the fire attribute abilities that the Fire Phoenix Soul Masters were skilled in became the best way to keep the warriors warm. For a time, the entire military camp was busy. Although morale plummeted, thanks to Ju Zi's proper handling, the generals' hearts were finally stabilized before dawn. You should know that she even gave up her own command tent to let the seriously wounded soldiers live there. This alone greatly stabilized the morale of the army.

After finally finishing everything, it was already dawn. Looking at the fragments of soul tools scattered everywhere, even someone as resolute as her almost burst into tears.

After finally meeting the person she had been longing for, she was hit in the face with a series of powerful attacks. The fact that Ju Zi didn't cry shows her strong will.

This time, she suffered a crushing defeat. Although the number of casualties was not large, the loss of soul tools was extremely severe.

"You're really my nemesis!" Orange thought through gritted teeth.

However, thinking about the previous battle, her expression improved. At least Ji Lin had shown her mercy. How could she not see that with just that last ice explosion spell, even she would have been in mortal danger if Ji Lin had wanted to?

Moreover, Ji Lin restrained the Titan Snow Demons, preventing them from going on a killing spree. Otherwise, given the prejudice of soul beasts against humans, how could they possibly show mercy? It was all because of Ji Lin's deterrence that they dared not kill indiscriminately.

Of course, Ji Lin was also borrowing the power of the Snow Emperor, but Ju Zi didn't know that! In her opinion, all these soul beasts obeyed Ji Lin's orders very well, and were as disciplined as some elite armies.

Without Ji Lin's restraint, not only would the soldiers of the Sun Moon Empire have suffered at least half their losses, but even the Soul Guidance Masters who entered the Soul Guidance Formation would likely have had few chances to return alive. When the Soul Guidance Formation was breached, Ji Lin and Titan Snow Demon King would have had far too many opportunities to severely injure them.

However, Ji Lin did not allow the Titan Snow Demons to do so. Instead, he simply caused destruction. After gaining an absolute advantage, he retreated. Ju Zi understood that at that time, although their side had the linked soul tool as a guarantee, they would definitely be able to damage the Titan Snow Demons. But could they kill one or two, or all of them?

Those Titan Snow Demons were terrifyingly powerful, their defense the strongest she had ever seen among the soul beasts. Their size gave them a huge advantage in war; killing a giant would come at a tremendous cost. What would happen when their soul power was exhausted and they could no longer maintain their coordinated defense? They could only flee, but what would be the result of fleeing? Fleeing would only mean abandoning their 25,000-strong army!

The Soul Master Corps might be able to escape, but the ordinary soldiers have no chance of getting away.

Thinking of this, Orange's resentment lessened a bit. This guy didn't go too far, but she wondered what he wanted. Did he want rare metals? If he wanted them, he could have just come to her! It's not like she couldn't give them to him. Why make such a big deal out of it, almost making her cry?

"Hmph! You better pray you don't fall into my hands." Orange thought viciously, but a blush unconsciously appeared on her fair and smooth face, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

Ji Lin led the Titan Snow Demons back to their temporary camp a hundred miles away, emerging unscathed. He jumped off one of the demons' shoulders, nearly falling. The power of Fire Phoenix Douluo's Phoenix Wing Soaring had exceeded his expectations. The massive ice-blue orb that had descended from the sky, a soul skill provided by Ice Bear King Xiaobai, was the Ice Bear Comet Meteor, a very powerful attack skill. However, Fire Phoenix Douluo's Phoenix Wing Soaring was almost more powerful than a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball. Ji Lin had to forcibly increase his soul power output to enhance the power of the Ice Bear Comet Meteor, relying on the environmental advantage to gain the upper hand. If he hadn't possessed Heavenly Fire Judgment, which granted him immunity to fire damage, he would not only be suffering from excessive soul power depletion and temporary weakness.

Fortunately, he had many holy marks on his body, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to squander them so much, continuously releasing so many powerful soul skills and holy mark skills. If it were an ordinary soul saint, releasing a 100,000-year soul skill would probably drain a third of their soul power.

Only Ji Lin, the blue-bar monster, could squander his soul power so lavishly at the Soul Saint level.

"As expected of the guardian of the Sun Moon Empire, the Fire Phoenix Douluo of the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps is stronger than the Mad Bull Douluo of the Evil Monarch Soul Master Corps! At least in terms of attack power, he is much stronger."

Ji Lin steadied himself, and several streams of pure soul power surged into his body from the Holy Mark on his body, replenishing the soul power that was about to be depleted. This was because the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor in the Holy Mark space released the soul power accumulated in their Holy Mark space to help Ji Lin recover.

That attack, Phoenix Wing Soaring, would probably be too much for many Super Douluo to handle head-on. Ji Lin's attack, Ice Bear Comet Meteor Fall, was something he thought he had the upper hand with. He performed beyond his usual level, taking advantage of the high altitude fall and the icy weather, and having all sorts of buffs applied. Yet, he only managed to gain a slight advantage. And that was with Phoenix Wing Soaring weakened by the environment of the far north.

In a normal environment, or even a place with abundant fire elements, that attack would be something even the strongest Super Douluo under the limit, like the Sect Master of the Body Sect, Poison Undying, wouldn't dare to underestimate.

Titan Snow Demon King had transformed back into human form and stood beside Ji Lin. He sighed and said, "I didn't believe that humans could develop any weapons to deal with us. It seems I was really short-sighted. Humans have become so powerful."

Titan Snow Demon King and Ice Bear King Xiaobai had fought for so many years in the far north ice plains, so of course they recognized the soul skill that Ji Lin had just used. It was Ice Bear King's ultimate skill, Ice Bear Comet Meteor Fall, and they knew how powerful that attack was. They had suffered losses under Ice Bear King's Ice Bear Comet Meteor Fall before, but such a powerful attack did not gain any advantage in the collision with Fire Phoenix Douluo's Phoenix Wing Sky Soaring.

Most importantly, in his perception, Fire Phoenix Douluo was just an ordinary Title Douluo, whose soul power was even weak. He did not rely on his own cultivation to reach the top, but used external force to help him break through, yet he could still exert combat power no less than that of a Super Douluo.

The fact that a single soul tool could compensate for a lack of cultivation was truly astonishing and frightening to Titan Snow Demon King. He now strongly agreed with Ji Lin's order not to kill humans. The far north ice plains were their paradise, but this paradise was not suitable for human survival. There was no need to make a blood feud with humans; they could simply drive them away.

Ji Lin nodded and said, "Human soul tool technology is advancing, while soul beasts remain unchanged. If this continues, the gap between the two sides will only widen. This is why I told you to try your best not to make enemies with humans."

Titan Snow Demon King scratched his head and said, "Those humans are indeed very strong. Although we had the upper hand just now, it will probably cost us a lot to wipe them out."

Ji Lin nodded and said, "That's why I wanted to teach them a lesson after the raid and then withdraw. Thank you very much for your help. Fortunately, there were no more casualties this time."

Titan Snow Demon King nodded to Ji Lin and said, "You are a partner of the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, so you will always be a friend of our Arctic Ice Plains. If you need any help, just let us know."
