Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, Allows Me to Defy Fate

Page 618

The scout cried out in despair, "All gone! All gone!" Yu Xiaoheng walked alone at the front. He simply raised his hand and summoned a thunderstorm, turning the armor of the 20,000-strong army into iron lumps that attracted lightning.

The lightning struck, and the 20,000 men scattered in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn! Now, the Blue Lightning Sect's main force is swaggering towards the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy and the Imperial City!

The hall fell into a deathly silence.

The old commander, who had just been so confident, was now pale and his legs were trembling slightly.

"How is that possible... those are 20,000 heavily armored infantrymen, and dozens of centurions at the Soul Venerable level." The old commander muttered to himself.

Prince Xuexing was also pale, but looking at Xueye's somewhat desperate eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, now that things have come to this, we have nowhere to retreat!"

Heaven Dou City also boasts the most elite Royal Knights! Heaven Dou Royal Academy is further home to three instructors: Meng Shenji, Meng Shen, and Meng Shenji—all of whom are Soul Douluo-level powerhouses!

As long as we concentrate our Soul Master power on the Royal Academy and the defenses of Heaven Dou City, Yu Xiaoheng will definitely not gain any advantage!

Xueye took a deep breath, suppressing the panic in her heart.

"Xue Xing, I hereby grant you the authority to mobilize 100,000 Imperial Guards."

"Take several royal retainers and go to the Royal Academy immediately. Join forces with the three education committee members and make sure Yu Xiaoheng is kept outside the city! If you can't stop him, the Heavenly Dou Empire is finished!"

……

Thirty miles outside Tiandou City.

This is the only way to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. There are steep cliffs on both sides, and only a flat official road about ten feet wide in the middle.

At this moment, the official road was densely packed with cavalrymen wearing silver armor.

Chapter 570 Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Submission

These cavalrymen rode on Windrider horses, a breed native to the empire, and were clad in light leather armor. This was the Royal Knights, the most prized asset of the Heavenly Dou Imperial Family.

Prince Snowstar rode a pure white warhorse, standing at the very front of the procession.

On his left and right sides stood three middle-aged men dressed in gray robes.

These three are retainers of the Heaven Dou royal family, all with strength above level 70, and their martial souls are all extremely powerful beast martial souls.

"Your Highness, a large amount of soul power fluctuations are rapidly approaching from ahead," a Soul Saint Elder said with a frown.

Prince Xuexing gripped the heavy sword at his waist, gritting his teeth: "Whoever it is, as long as they are from the Blue Lightning Sect, crush them with heavy crossbows and a charging formation!"

"I refuse to believe that mortal flesh can withstand the combined charge of our knights!"

He had barely finished speaking.

A dazzling flash of lightning began to appear on the horizon ahead.

Lightning flashed across the sky, accompanied by deafening thunder.

Yu Xiaoheng walked at the front. He was wearing a black outfit, and his long hair fluttered in the wind.

Beside him, Yu Yuanzhen did not come; instead, the Second Elder of the Blue Lightning Sect arrived. Behind Yu Xiaoheng stood five hundred elite Blue Lightning Sect warriors, dressed in tight-fitting blue armor and with faint purple-red halos flowing around them.

Behind them were the elite members of the Four Elements Academy, led by Feng Che, Huo Yan, Shui Yun'er, and others.

Upon seeing this, Prince Xuexing's eyelids twitched violently.

The soul power fluctuations of these disciples from the Blue Lightning Sect were more than twice as strong as before.

Each person's body appeared extremely resilient; even fallen leaves on either side would be burned to ashes by a faint wave of fire.

"Yu Xiaoheng!" Prince Xuexing tightened the reins and shouted, "You dare to lead your sect's private army to force your way through the main road of the imperial city! This is a crime punishable by the extermination of your entire sect! Do you really think that just because the Spirit Hall doesn't care about you, the Heaven Dou Empire can't do anything to you?"

Yu Xiaoheng stopped in his tracks.

He looked at Prince Xuexing, his face devoid of any extra expression.

"Xue Xing, I gave the Heavenly Dou Royal Family a chance. One hundred thousand gold soul coins, fifty thousand catties of refined iron, and three thousand aged medicinal herbs. You've been dragging your feet on this claim for half a month." Yu Xiaoheng's calm voice echoed through the Grand Canyon.

Prince Xuexing trembled with rage and roared, "That's blatant robbery! Why should our Heavenly Dou Royal Family give you these resources? Who do you think you are, daring to demand compensation from the Empire!"

Yu Xiaoheng was too lazy to say anything more.

He slowly raised his right hand.

Blue wind patterns lit up on his arm, and the surrounding air was forcibly sucked away in an instant.

"Huo Yan, Feng Che, didn't you want to see the power of thunder and fire originating from the same source?" Yu Xiaoheng asked.

Feng Che and Huo Yan perked up and immediately stared at Yu Xiaoheng.

The soul power within Yu Xiaoheng's body began to surge.

The first spirit ring flickered.

The dragon god possessed him.

Golden flames instantly covered his entire body, merging with his Purple-Gold True Dragon Martial Soul and comprehensively amplifying all his attributes.

Immediately afterwards, the second spirit ring lit up.

Thunder.

In a modified form, the light and flames generated by the Dragon God's possession were instantly replaced by blinding arcs of electricity. A cool set of lightning armor, filled with sharp, crackling sounds, condensed on Yu Xiaoheng's body.

Moreover, the fire and thunder patterns were activated simultaneously.

The consumption doubled, but the "Dragon Flame Thunder" formed by the intertwining of lightning and fire unleashed a destructive power far beyond reason.

Yu Xiaoheng struck out with his palm from a distance.

boom!

A colossal, hundred-foot-long dragon-shaped shockwave, woven from golden-blue arcs of electricity and golden-red flames, roared outwards.

With the ultimate lightning enhancement, wherever the attack passed, the cliffs on both sides were shaken and rocks flew wildly, and fierce lightning continuously bombarded the air.

"Defense! All troops, defend!" Prince Xuexing screamed in fright.

The three royal retainers simultaneously activated their Martial Soul True Forms, attempting to block the attack with a combined skill.

However, the impact of that true dragon, intertwined with thunder and fire, was truly terrifying.

With a bang.

The three Soul Saints couldn't even hold out for a single breath. Their soul power defense barriers were torn apart like paper the moment they came into contact with "Dragon Flame Thunder".

Flames scorched their flesh, and the paralyzing effect and destructive force of the lightning caused the three worshippers to cough up blood as they were being sent flying backward, their meridians instantly frozen by brainwaves.

"what--!"

Screams filled the air.

The dragon's flames and thunderous power remained undiminished, plundering into the Royal Knights' cavalry formation.

Countless horses were startled and fell to the ground amidst the thunderous roar. The lightning and fire spread across the earth, scorching the silver armor. The knights screamed as they tumbled off their horses and fled in all directions.

Just one strike.

The Ironclad Knights, the most prized asset of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family, were utterly routed.

Prince Snowstar crashed to the ground, his white horse already charred from electrocution.

He rolled around in the mud, covered in dust, watching the black figure slowly approach. The arrogance in his eyes had vanished, replaced by endless fear.

"No...don't kill me! I am an Imperial Prince!" Prince Xuexing crawled backward in a disheveled state, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

Yu Xiaoheng stood in front of him, looking down at him.

"I've said it before, those who obey me will prosper, those who defy me will perish." Yu Xiaoheng didn't even look down at him a second time, but simply waved to the Blue Lightning disciples behind him.

"Take him with you to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"Yes, Young Master!" Two Blue Lightning disciples stepped forward and dragged the usually aloof Prince to the ground like a dead dog, continuing to move forward with the main force.

……

The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is located on the most beautiful mountain peak outside Heavenly Dou City.

At the foot of the mountain, the massive arched school gate is engraved with exquisite imperial emblems.

However, the Royal Academy was filled with a chilling atmosphere at this moment.

The three chairpersons of the teaching committee of Tiandou Royal Academy—Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhilin—were standing at the school gate. Behind them were dozens of elite teachers and hundreds of students with considerable strength.

"Yu Xiaoheng!"

Meng Shenji took a step forward.

"How dare you treat a prince of the empire like this in public!"

"Do you even respect the laws of the Empire?!"

Black soul power suddenly erupted from Meng Shenji's body.

Eight spirit rings rose up one after another from beneath his feet.

Two yellows, three purples, and three blacks.

This is the standard equipment for Contra powerhouses.

Meng Shenji's Black Demon Martial Soul transformed into a strange shadow in the air.

The light in the air seemed to dim at that moment.

Bai Baoshan followed closely behind, letting out a heavy snort.

A huge bronze furnace appeared out of thin air and crashed heavily onto the white marble floor.
