Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Saint Master, Twelve Talismans Chaotic the Continent

Chapter 22 Three against one, yet still managed to be killed.

……

Following the Pope's coronation ceremony, the war between the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect officially began.

Contrary to everyone's previous concerns, the Spirit Hall did not launch a direct attack on the Clear Sky Sect's headquarters relying on its large number of spirit masters. Instead, it chose to start with the Clear Sky Sect's various affiliated sects.

The first to be affected are naturally the four single-attribute schools: Strength, Penetration, Agility, and Defense.

After all, the Haotian Sect is not weak. Although it has not been as powerful as the number one sect in the world in recent years, the Haotian Hammer is still powerful. Even if it could win in a head-on confrontation, it would not be worth it.

Bibi Dong had just come to power and wanted to win over the people, so naturally she wanted to maximize the benefits of this war while minimizing losses.

Therefore, the war against the Clear Sky Sect was divided into two parts. The main force, led by the two Title Douluo Chrysanthemum and Ghost, was responsible for launching a frontal attack on the Clear Sky Sect headquarters to attract the sect's attention. Then, several Soul Douluo Bishops led Spirit Hall Soul Masters to launch surprise attacks on the Clear Sky Sect's affiliated sects, holding them back and preventing them from supporting the Clear Sky Sect.

Of course, the most important thing was to rob all of Haotian Sect's properties outside!

Soul Masters also need to eat, and they need money for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. Moreover, the consumption of Soul Masters far exceeds that of ordinary people. The Soul Master class is both a high-income group and a high-consumption group.

The same applies to sects; they need money everywhere they want to develop and grow stronger.

As for robbery, that's ridiculous. Soul Masters in Douluo Continent aren't necessarily rich, but rich people are definitely Soul Masters. The money-making industries are all controlled by large Soul Master forces like the Spirit Hall, the Eight Great Families, and the Seven Great Sects.

Soul Masters who are capable of robbing these people of their money don't need to worry about money at all.

……

Within the Star Luo Empire, there was a small city that belonged to the Haotian Sect's territory; it should now be called a ruin.

Not long ago, this was a moderately wealthy and developed city. However, less than half a month after the war began, it was almost reduced to ruins, and the people living here either died or fled.

After all, when war breaks out, no one cares whether you are a Soul Master or an ordinary person. On the designated battlefield, everyone except your own side is considered an enemy.

The opening sequence involves a barrage of soul skills from soul masters capable of long-range attacks, much like the initial volley of arrows when two great empires go to war. This phase is generally safe from death; its main purpose is to injure and burden the enemy's logistics, serving as a war of attrition. Of course, it's not impossible that some unlucky souls might accidentally run into the line of fire and die.

After the initial exertion, it's time for a thoroughly enjoyable free-for-all.

"How's the fighting going up front?" Just as Bibi Dong had said, Nan Feng followed Kiku and Gui to the front lines to try and earn some credit.

With Pope Bibi Dong as their backer and the kindness of healing his serious injuries, Nanfeng and Yueguan's relationship is still quite good.

"It's alright, our casualties are roughly one to one with Haotian Sect's," Yue Guan said.

This is actually a very good result, considering that the strength of the Spirit Hall's Spirit Masters varies greatly, and those initially sent to charge were basically cannon fodder.

Of course, the Clear Sky Sect was in a similar situation. However, for the Spirit Hall, this amount of damage was insignificant, but for the Clear Sky Sect, the number of casualties was quite painful.

"Since none of the affiliated sects that were supposed to come to support us have arrived, the morale of the Haotian Sect has clearly declined. In today's battle, the Haotian Sect is showing a clear tendency to avoid fighting," Ghost said.

"Have their elders made no move?" Nan Feng asked, puzzled.

This place is only a few kilometers away from the main battlefield. If it were Contra making a move, he would definitely be able to hear the commotion here. But he has been here for several days and there has been no significant commotion.

"No," Ghost said.

"The main force of the Haotian Sect has been retreating from the beginning. They have no intention of confronting us head-on. They probably want to hide back in their sect's headquarters. After all, that place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Anyone below the Soul Saint level who tries to break in is doomed."

"So cowardly?" Nan Feng asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Aren't the people of the Clear Sky Sect known for their explosive tempers? Shouldn't they have engaged in a fierce battle first, and only retreated when they were truly out of options?"

Yue Guan's eye twitched slightly. "You need to consider their opponents."

Currently, the Clear Sky Sect only has one Title Douluo, Sect Master Tang Xiao. Judging from the timeline, Tang Xiao's cultivation level is at most level 93. The other Clear Sky Sect elders, although they are all high-level Soul Douluos above level 85, still have little chance of winning against a Title Douluo.

Although the Spirit Hall officially claimed to have sent only two Title Douluos, who knows how many were actually in the shadows?

Before they take the initiative to make a move, the Haotian Sect would absolutely not dare to release its high-level combat power.

"That's true." Nan Feng nodded.

"But after fighting for so long, why hasn't Tang Hao made a move yet?"

"Tang Hao?" Yue Guan couldn't help but laugh.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"That guy is in trouble himself now."

Nan Feng looked puzzled. "Isn't it you guys who got wiped out in a three-on-one fight?"

Yue Guan looked embarrassed. "Tang Hao was cheating. The special magnetic field of a 100,000-year-old soul beast sacrifice had a strong suppressive effect on us. We couldn't exert our full strength at that time."

"You have no idea how much of a boost that 100,000-year soul ring provides to a soul master. Moreover, once his 100,000-year soul skill, the Killing Barrier, is activated, combined with the magnetic field from the sacrifice of a 100,000-year soul beast, and the Killing God Domain, Old Ghost and I can't even unleash 70% of our strength, and we can't even use our Martial Soul Fusion Technique."

They didn't expect that the transformed soul beast would willingly sacrifice itself, and they didn't expect that the special magnetic field after the sacrifice of a 100,000-year-old soul beast would cause such great interference. Tang Hao had been chased by them for so long and was already at his limit, but the Blue Silver Emperor's sacrifice directly restored Tang Hao to full strength. Moreover, the special magnetic field continuously provided energy to Tang Hao!

It was truly like seeing a ghost!

They got more and more tired as they fought, while Tang Hao became more and more insane as he fought!

"Moreover, the Haotian Sect's Ring-Exploding Secret Technique is truly unreasonable." Yue Guan said with a look of trepidation.

"After accepting the sacrifice, Tang Hao's soul power fluctuations were at level 91, close to level 92. After he desperately used his exploding soul rings and destroyed his first four soul rings, he directly pushed himself to level 93. When his fifth soul ring exploded, he instantly soared to level 95!"

Nan Feng looked puzzled. "That's amazing?"

"We had the same expression back then!" Yue Guan said, somewhat excitedly.

In the world of Soul Masters, it is said that the secret technique of the Clear Sky Sect, the ultimate move of the Great Sumeru Hammer, is the Ring Explosion. It is a rather unreasonable move, but very few people have actually seen it. This is because only the most talented person in each generation of the Clear Sky Sect who can be designated as the sect leader is qualified to learn the Ring Explosion, and even then, they are not guaranteed to be able to learn it!

They didn't know exactly how much of an improvement the exploding ring would provide, but that day, they actually witnessed it!

That's absolutely fucking unreasonable!

"However, the backlash from such a domineering move is also extremely terrifying," Ghost said.

"After defeating us all, Tang Hao was in extremely poor condition. If another Title Douluo had appeared then, no, even just a Soul Douluo, Tang Hao would have certainly died! And he would have died by his own hand!"

After the ring explosion, Tang Hao's soul power was very unstable. He was obviously not yet proficient in controlling that terrifying move. His power fluctuated wildly, especially after the battle ended. He could clearly feel that Tang Hao was about to lose control of the surge of soul power within his body!

If it weren't for that damn magnetic field, Tang Hao would have definitely blown himself up when the ring exploded!
