Douluo Continent: My Days in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 1328 Death Strikes

Dongyang City is a major border city of the Sun and Moon Empire.

With a population of over a million, there were countless caravans traveling through the area.

Zhongli Wu once again transformed into a streak of bloody light and disappeared from the spot, leaving behind a group of soul beasts that had been stunned and severely injured.

In the blood-red cage, Regent slowly awoke.

At first glance, she saw the Fish Dragon King lying beside her, covered in wounds.

At second glance, there were still a large number of soul beasts around, all of them on the verge of death.

"What am I doing..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his brain resumed functioning, and a flood of memories rushed in.

Lijing clutched her aching head, quietly contemplating the current situation.

She possessed the Water Stone and stood on the sea, yet she was defeated head-on.

The terrifying scene of overwhelming ferocity is still vivid in my mind.

Regent slowly sat up, moved a couple of times, and held the Fish Dragon King's head in her arms.

"Little Mimi, wake up..."

The Water Stone was summoned by Regent once again, and a soft halo of light shone down, nourishing Regent and the Fish Dragon King.

Regent noticed that the Water Stone had become incredibly dull and was no longer as bright as before. Several cracks were now visible inside the once azure crystal.

Clearly, the Water Stone also suffered considerable damage.

Under the healing care of the Water Stone, the Fish Dragon King's injuries are slowly healing, and wisps of ferocious energy are being forced out.

"Mimi..."

The Fish Dragon King slowly opened his eyes. As soon as he saw Lijing, he became excited. He used his two blood-stained claws to pull Lijing into his arms, wanting to protect her with his huge body.

Lijing was deeply moved. She gently stroked the Fish Dragon King's cheek. "Little Mimi, we'll be alright for now. Don't be afraid."

The Fish Dragon King calmed down, but still surrounded Lijing with his body, warily surveying the surroundings.

"We've been captured by Zhongli Wu. There are also a lot of soul beasts here. We don't know what Zhongli Wu wants to do, but we have to escape as soon as possible, or find a way to contact our master!"

Regent calmly analyzed the current situation.

Zhongli Wu didn't kill them immediately, which means he must have some purpose!

The sight of a bunch of dying soul beasts around her suddenly reminded Lijing that Zhongliwu's cult primarily used the method of obtaining souls and torturing them into vengeful spirits.

Could it be that Zhongli Wu has targeted my and Xiaomi's souls?!

Regent thought quickly; she had learned a lot from following Ye Nanxiao for so long.

Looking out from here, you can see icebergs all around, clearly indicating that this is the far north.

Although they didn't know where Ye Nanxiao was, Regent couldn't just sit idly by and wait for their doom.

Fortunately, before Ye Nanxiao left last time, he left Lijing with a lot of useful soul tools, including a communication soul tool.

Regent changed the trajectory of the soul power in her hand, converting it into pure soul power, and successfully activated the storage ring.

Holding the communication device in her hand, Lijing briefly activated it but found there was no signal.

"Master said that if the topmost small square doesn't appear, it means there's no signal, and we need to find a place with a signal!"

Regent looked around and then put away her communication device.

To find the signal, the first step is to break through this prison of soul power.

"Three Thousand Water Killing Formation!"

A large amount of water element condensed into a trident, which heavily bombarded the soul power cage.

Dongyang City, this steel behemoth that stretches across the border of the Sun and Moon Empire, has walls covered with traces of cargo being dumped.

Clearly, this border city was not lucky enough.

Although Xu Tianran improved the city's defenses and defensive measures during his tenure.

But in the face of absolute power, these are nothing but a pile of lifeless things.

Puffs of black smoke swirled above Dongyang City, while no one in the city below paid any attention to the flames that were producing the thick smoke.

A huge scar appeared in the entire city of Dongyang, dividing the city in two.

The imposing city lord's mansion was cut in half.

Zhongli Wu looked at the City Guardian Douluo kneeling before him, begging for mercy, and without hesitation, cut off his head. Then, he quickly formed a hand seal with his right hand, which emitted a faint light and imprinted on the City Guardian Douluo's sunken chest.

When Zhongli Wu raised his right hand again, he grasped a wisp of gray mist in his hand.

The ferocious face of the city-guarding Douluo could be vaguely seen within the mist.

This is the soul of that city-protecting Douluo.

Zhongli Wu glanced at the corpse of the City Guardian Douluo and sealed it away.

The physical bodies of titled Douluo all contain enormous energy.

Although most of this energy will dissipate at the moment of death, it still has some value.

"What's the use of this corpse? We might as well go and slaughter a couple more cities."

The Evil Eye Tyrant reappeared, evaluating Zhongli Wu's actions.

"It's just making use of waste."

Zhongli Wu gripped the Grim Reaper's scythe tightly and slammed it into the ground.

The phantom of Death reappeared, its arms outstretched and mouth agape.

A strange magic circle appeared in the center of Dongyang City, and then lit up with black light.

One wailing soul after another rose from all corners of the shattered city, only to be sucked into the eerie array.

Zhongli Wu casually tossed the soul of the City Guardian Douluo into it as well.

Beneath the overwhelming mass of souls lay the already crumbling joint defense soul-guided shield.

"The next city."

After activating the grand formation, Zhongli Wu's figure blurred into afterimages as he charged towards the neighboring city of Oak.

These two cities, hailed as the twin stars on the border of the Sun and Moon Empire, are like lambs that have not yet learned to walk, being mercilessly torn apart by a ferocious old wolf.

In his final moments before dying, the Lord of Dongyang City pressed the distress alarm.

As a neighboring city, Oak City naturally received the distress call.

But when calling out to Dongyang City, all that could be heard was a hissing sound of malfunction.

Lord Oak immediately realized that Dongyang City was doomed.

With the City Guardian Douluo present, there's no reason why they wouldn't be able to respond to distress alarms.

"Activate the city's protective soul-guiding array!"

Lord Oak immediately activated a city-wide alert.

A large number of soldiers appeared at the city gate to defend it.

The city-guarding Douluo led the city defense soul master group to set up a defensive formation and stand ready for battle.

After the defenses were in place, Lord Oak City found the City Guardian Douluo to discuss sending people to Dongyang City to investigate.

Currently, Dongyang City has no intelligence whatsoever, so they have no way of knowing what kind of enemy it is.

As one of the twin cities, Oak City will most likely be targeted.

The latest novel is first published here!

Just as the Lord of Oak City was sending an alarm to his superiors, reporting that Dongyang City had been attacked,

The entire city of Oak suddenly began to tremble.

Lord Oak City, after all, possessed cultivation and quickly regained his footing.

"Hey! What's going on over there?!"

The soul-guided communicator in his hand was still making a sound.

Lord Oak picked up the entire soul-guided communication device, and walked out of the room while speaking, wanting to see clearly what was happening outside.

When he looked up at the sky, he suddenly froze.

"Ark City, please respond! Oak City, please respond!"

"What happened?!"

"Who is the enemy!"

Lord Oak's eyes widened, his mouth trembled several times, and his lips shook.

"Oh God...we...have encountered...Death!"

"Feed? What did you say? Death?"

Lord Oak City could no longer hold the soul-guided communicator in his hand.

His hands and feet were trembling, and his face was deathly pale.

Looking up at the sky from his angle, a huge black shadow floated outside the pale yellow combined soul-guiding shield.

A ferocious face, a scythe stained with blood.

A giant statue of Death.

Zhongli Wu's scarlet cloak fluttered in the gale, and the bloodstains on his scythe reflected an eerie luster in the moonlight.

He glanced at the combined soul-guiding shield below and sneered, "Did you think you could rest easy just by hiding behind this giant eggshell?"

The next moment, Death swung his scythe, slicing through the combined soul-guiding shield as easily as cutting through lard.

"Hehehehehe!"

"May you all become vengeful spirits beneath my blade!"

The alarms of Oak City pierced the sky, and the hum of the Soul Guidance Cannons charging made the bricks and stones of the city walls tremble.

As the Lord of Oak City stared blankly at the sky, a despairing scene was reflected in his pupils.

The terrifying, grotesque golem of death seemed to be devouring the sky.

The trajectory of the scythe as it fell created cracks in space, like a sharp blade tearing through the sky, before crashing heavily onto the combined soul-guiding shield amidst the despairing gazes of the Oak City defenders.

The next moment, the entire city of Oak City trembled violently, and the steel behemoth let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain.

The combined soul-guided shield was visibly cleaved open.

The chaotic surge of soul power that erupted when the soul-guiding shield shattered tore the sentries on the city wall to shreds in the chaos.

The mad Grim Reaper wields his scythe.

Wherever they went, no one survived.

When Oak fell, the city center was the first to be affected.

This gave the civilians of Oak City some time to escape.

Amid the chaos and shouts, a city defense captain who was far enough away from Zhongliwu saw several civilians fleeing while simultaneously activating pale golden soul-guiding shields.

Unexpectedly, the terrifying baleful energy that could directly melt soul guide shields below level eight was actually repelled by this pale golden soul guide shield.

The soul tools in the hands of those commoners were clearly not level eight soul tools.

Because even an eighth-level soul-guided shield can only resist these terrifying baleful energies for a few breaths, only a ninth-level charged soul-guided shield can buy some time.

"Wait, why were the soul tools in the hands of those civilians able to buy them time?"

"A pale golden soul tool, that faint yet resolute light. Angel series weaponry."

"Everyone! Replace your Oudu's Angel Series Armor Soul Tools!"

The city defense captain suddenly understood that the Angel series soul tools sold by the Aodu Chamber of Commerce were said to be made from the holy light energy sprinkled by the holy angels, possessing the power of extreme yang and warding off evil, making them the most deadly nemesis of evil soul masters today!

After the city defense captain's loud shout, his team members paused for a moment before reflexively taking out the Angel series soul tools they carried.

Because the Aodu Chamber of Commerce has a strong marketing campaign and offers generous discounts, most of them have one or two Angel series soul tools.

One of the team members even had a Hunter Angel bombardment, which he aimed directly at Zhongliwu's direction.

"Damn evil spirit master! Die!"

A burst of intense golden light exploded, transforming into a beam of sword light that pierced the center of the malevolent energy.

Zhongli Wu was so focused on wielding his scythe to cut down the city's guardian Douluo that he suddenly realized his murderous aura had been pierced.

"bite--"

A sliver of golden light pierced his protective soul power, dissolving the malevolent energy and strengthening himself.

"What?!"

"Holy Light!!!" (End of Chapter)
