"Spirit Hall, what is there that we can discuss? Why resort to violence?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Han's heart stirred. It seemed that Xingluo was planning to offer something to force the Spirit Hall to retreat.
but
Is Dai Hao here?
"I am here!"
Upon hearing the other party address him by his full name, Dai Hao's face darkened, but he still channeled his soul power, his voice like a tiger's roar, captivating all who heard it.
Gu Han flashed and appeared above the city wall.
“Dai Hao, I’m not going to waste my breath on you. If you want my Spirit Hall to withdraw its troops, you’d better give us a satisfactory explanation.”
"Young man, I let you escape last time, but now you're so aggressive. Do you really think I can't kill you?"
The Hell Douluo spoke in a threatening tone.
Gu Han remained unfazed, staring coldly at Hell Douluo: "You are welcome to try. If you dare to make a move, I will wipe you out today, you bandit leader."
"Humph!"
Hell Douluo snorted coldly, flew into the sky, and unleashed nine spirit rings—eight black and one red—below his feet. The pressure of a Limit Douluo pressed down on Gu Han.
Gu Han did not back down either. He unfolded his spirit rings one by one, displaying his aura and fighting on equal footing with his opponent, even subtly suppressing Hell Douluo.
This made Hell Douluo frown, and he immediately mobilized the Rakshasa God Power within the Holy Sect to press down on Gu Han again.
"Last time you ganged up on us, this time I'll show you the tricks of a bandit leader."
With the Xuan Shuang Sword in his hand, Gu Han's first soul ring lit up, and with a casual slash, his sword energy, like a net covering the sky, pressed down.
"A trivial skill!"
Hell Douluo's gaze was icy, and the Asura Demon Sword unleashed a terrifying sword aura, like a blood-red crescent moon.
The sword net collided with the sword energy, instantly unleashing a terrifying aftershock. On the city wall, some soldiers were directly shaken to death by the aftershock, coughing up blood.
Only then did the experts on the city wall remember to raise their soul power to resist the aftershocks of the battle.
"A fight has broken out. Let's go help."
When Demon-Slaying Douluo saw that a fight had broken out ahead, he was about to go into battle, but Bibi Dong stopped him.
"Uncle Demon Slayer, don't be in a hurry. You haven't seen your junior brother make a move in a long time either."
Upon hearing this, Demon-Slaying Douluo immediately became interested, crossed his arms, and said with great interest, "That's true. Let me see what level this kid has reached now."
Dai Hao had no intention of stopping them. If Hell Douluo could win, then the Spirit Hall's army would have no chance of entering Star Luo City.
But what if we lose?
Then we can only see what the other side does; at that point, the initiative will no longer be in their hands.
The two fought high in the sky, their icy sword energy clashing and intertwining with the Asura sword energy.
"Today, I will let you experience the swordsmanship I have just mastered."
Gu Han's gaze sharpened, and his originally icy sword intent suddenly changed, becoming both gentle and firm, slow yet rapid, with sword energy flowing like water, penetrating everywhere.
The way of the sword is like water, which benefits all things without striving.
The flowing sword energy, carrying the chill of extreme ice, invaded Hell Douluo's body, causing a layer of frost to cover his body.
Hell Douluo was horrified. If it weren't for the Asura Demon Sword and the Rakshasa God's power protecting him, he might have already been frozen into an ice sculpture from the inside out.
Even so, the divine power within him seemed to be deliberately targeted, surrounded and blocked in various ways, making it extremely difficult to mobilize.
"You bastard, what kind of swordsmanship is that?"
Hell Douluo gritted his teeth, enduring the chill emanating from his body, and stared coldly at Gu Han.
"Want to know? I'll tell you if I win."
Gu Han held the Xuan Shuang Sword horizontally in front of him, and with his left hand, he brushed the sword across its blade with his fingers together, instantly covering the blade with a layer of transparent energy that flowed like water.
Hell Douluo's face twitched, and his entire face turned black.
"This junior is arrogant!!"
After saying that, Hell Douluo, wielding the Demon Sword, rushed towards Gu Han at an extremely fast speed. The Demon Sword carried a terrifying power of judgment and slashed out with unstoppable force.
Gu Han's eyes were calm as water, the trajectory of the demonic sword reflected deep within them, turning into dust and dissipating just before it struck him.
"What!?"
Hell Douluo was startled and quickly looked around, but he still couldn't find Gu Han's figure.
However, the next moment, Hell Douluo seemed to have been attacked, spitting out a mouthful of blood and falling from the sky.
With a loud "boom," a cloud of dust rose from the ground.
As the smoke cleared, Hell Douluo lay in a large crater, a gruesome sword wound on his chest. The muscles in his chest writhed, rapidly healing under divine power. The process was painful, but he paid no attention to the pain. Instead, he stared in horror at Gu Han, whose figure slowly appeared in the sky.
He didn't notice anything at all!
Even now, he hadn't sensed Gu Han's presence. If he didn't look closely, or if Gu Han made him see him, he wouldn't be able to detect where he was at all.
"What is this?"
Even Qianjun and the others who were watching the battle were taken aback.
The Demon-Slaying Douluo turned to Bibi Dong's avatar and asked, "Dong'er, what kind of move is Gu Han using? It doesn't seem like his fourth soul skill!"
Bibi Dong was also completely bewildered. "This... I've never seen this move before. Could it be some new secret technique that my junior brother has mastered?"
Thinking this through, Bibi Dong made up her mind that she would definitely pester the other party to teach her this move when she got back; it was too much fun.
"Even if he revealed himself, I still felt like he was invisible to me." Dugu Bo exclaimed in amazement. Gu Han probably relied on this characteristic to attack Hell Douluo.
"It blends with the light and the dust, it is clear and still, as if it still exists."
Gu Han landed above the pit, pointing his sword at Hell Douluo: "You've lost. If you don't have any other means, I'll kill you today for Senior Tang Chen and avenge him."
"Hmph! You're not qualified to kill me first."
Hell Douluo snorted coldly, and the Asura Demon Sword shone with dazzling divine light. Its terrifying aura swept in all directions, transforming into a streak of blood-red light that carried Hell Douluo away.
Gu Han narrowed his eyes slightly, glancing at the sky as if he were looking at something else entirely.
"It's over."
Dai Hao staggered, but fortunately Zhu Tiancai reacted quickly and helped him up.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
Dai Hao glanced at Zhu Tiancai, sighed, and looked down at Gu Han below the city. A bead of cold sweat dripped from his forehead down his cheek, and he looked like a criminal awaiting trial.
Gu Han turned his head slightly and looked at Dai Hao above the city wall.
"Dai Hao, I'll say it again: if you want me to withdraw my troops, you'll have to show enough sincerity."
Chapter 327 Bombarding Star Luo City
"Or perhaps, does the esteemed Star Luo Emperor also wish to engage in a duel with me?"
"Ahem, I wouldn't dare. As long as Your Majesty is willing to withdraw your troops, my Star Luo Empire is willing to agree to all the conditions of the Spirit Hall."
"Oh? Including the throne?"
"This..." Dai Hao choked.
"Judging from your appearance, you don't seem like someone willing to abdicate. In that case, let's cede the Duchy of Hadrian to the Spirit Hall. This is the final bottom line."
"You, don't push your luck!"
Dai Hao gritted his teeth. He felt extremely ashamed that the Heavenly Dou Empire had ceded territory in exchange for aid. He never expected that this matter would fall on his head in a different way today.
In any case, losing territory is a disgrace for an emperor, and he is naturally unwilling to accept it. Moreover, it is the Duchy of Hadrian, which is the front line in the fight against the Spirit Hall. If this place is lost, the Spirit Hall can attack whenever it wants.
"It seems Your Majesty has given up. In that case, there's nothing more to discuss."
"and many more."
Duke Youming called out to Gu Han.
"What does the Duke of the Underworld have to say?"
Upon hearing this, Duke Youming bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to speak with His Majesty for a few moments."
"I'll only give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. If you don't agree, then Xingluo City will be razed to the ground today."
Gu Han took out an incense stick from his soul tool, flicked it gently, and the incense stick miraculously started to burn. Gu Han then threw it out and it stuck into the city wall in front of Dai Hao.
Dai Hao's face was gloomy as he inserted the fragile incense stick into the incredibly hard wall. He could do that too, but it wasn't because of his dark expression, but because of the other party's aggressive posture.
"Your Majesty, a lack of patience in a small matter can ruin a great plan."
"Are we just going to cede a duchy like this?" Dai Hao's face darkened, his heart burning with suppressed rage, but the situation was beyond his control, and he had no way to vent his anger.
"Your Majesty, may I give it a try and see if I can preserve the southern half of Hadrian's Duchy?"
Dai Hao remained silent, his eyes fixed on the 70,000-strong army outside the city, which was said to number 200,000, and the powerful figures at the front of the army.
With a muffled thud, Dai Hao slammed his fist against the city wall in front of him, causing spiderweb-like cracks to spread downwards.
"Spirit Hall, I'll say it again: if you want the Duchy of Hadrian, go and take it yourself if you dare!"
"His Majesty!!"
"Shut up!!" Dai Hao's eyes widened in anger: "I'm not as spineless as Xue Xing. It's just that the city has fallen. Spirit Hall, if you have the guts, come and attack the city!!"
Upon hearing this, the ministers immediately understood Dai Hao's idea. Duke Youming stopped trying to persuade him and made a gesture. The surrounding guards immediately began to move, and various defensive equipment was brought out.
The archers drew their longbows and unleashed a volley of arrows, a deluge of arrows raining down on Gu Han.
"He does have some backbone, stronger than Xue Xing." Gu Han flashed, dodging the incoming rain of arrows, and arrived at the front of the army, pointing his sword at Xingluo City.
"Attack the city!!"
dong dong dong! !
The sound of drums was incessant.
The artillery positions behind were set up, the cannons were raised, and shells were loaded.
