Chapter 243: Closing the Door to Attack the Dog
As the mines exploded, thousands of Spirit Masters were injured. The remaining Spirit Masters dared not advance even a single step, unsure if there would be more mines ahead.
"Fifth Spirit Skill: Ghostly Earth Altar Hand!"
Suddenly, Gui Mei summoned his Spirit Power and launched a fierce attack. Countless black hands burst forth from the earth, crushing the mines laid ahead. A continuous roar of explosions filled the air.
"Damn it! Those pesky mines again!"
Yue Guan's face was grim, his eyes fierce, and he raged. Remembering how he had nearly lost a leg to a mine, he was filled with resentment.
"Old Ghost, leave the artillery shells in the sky to me. You clear the mines below. Everyone else, retreat at full speed. We can't stay here any longer!"
"Sixth Spirit Skill: Golden Core Flowing Clouds!"
Yue Guan immediately unleashed his sixth Spirit Skill. Instantly, countless flying knives soared into the air, dancing like countless locusts, attacking the falling artillery shells.
Bang, bang, bang!
The collision of the flying knives and the artillery shells set off a series of explosions, a deafening roar that echoed through the sky like the roar of a dragon.
In mid-air, the flying knives and artillery shells clashed fiercely, while beneath the ground, countless pitch-black ghostly hands crushed buried mines one by one, causing a continuous burst of violent explosions.
"Your Majesty Geng Jin, why don't you let us take the lead?"
Niu Gao, the leader of the Yu Clan, couldn't help but exclaim. He was now an 81st-level pure defensive Soul Douluo, with defense comparable to that of a Titled Douluo. After awakening his true Spirit, he was truly impenetrable.
On this expedition, Dai Pojun brought along the leaders of the Min Clan, the Yu Clan, and the Po Clan.
Seeing Spirit Hall's Spirit Masters about to burst out of the valley, Niu Gao hurriedly said.
However, Lin Qiuyang remained calm, "Don't worry, they can't leave today!"
Bang, bang, bang!
As soon as the words left his mouth, a deafening roar of explosions erupted from the distant valley, instantly capturing everyone's attention.
Just as the Spirit Masters were about to burst out of the valley, explosions erupted on either side, the overwhelming force shattering the rock walls. Instantly, countless rubble rained down from the sky, pelting the Spirit Masters like a torrential rain.
Because of the suddenness of the incident, by the time the Spirit Masters realized the trap, the boulders, the size of stone pillars, had already smashed into their heads. With a thud, the non-combat Spirit Masters, such as support and healing Spirit Masters, were crushed to pulp by the boulders.
The combat Spirit Masters, though they immediately activated their Spirit Abilities to resist, suffered heavy casualties as well.
Even more devastating, the shattering rock wall sent a shower of rubble forming a low mountain that blocked the Spirit Master army's path, completely trapping them in the valley.
Lin Qiuyang had anticipated that if Spirit Hall's Spirit Masters were attacked in the valley, they would inevitably launch an all-out assault, rushing out as quickly as possible. Therefore, Lin Qiuyang not only ordered a minefield but also planted a large quantity of high explosives on the cliffs on either side of the valley's exit, maintaining a 24-hour security presence.
If the Spirit Hall forces attempted to break out of the valley, the explosives would be detonated, completely blocking their path and effectively closing the door on the enemy.
"Soldiers, attack the enemy's active forces with all your might. Anyone who kills a Spirit Master will be rewarded with 100 gold Spirit Coins. Fire with all your might! Fire all your shells!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The soldiers roared to the heavens. The artillerymen quickly adjusted their cannons, moving away from Titled Douluo like Yue Guan and Gui Mei, and aiming their barrels at the weaker Spirit Masters. Finally, they unleashed their full force.
Bang, bang, bang!
For a moment, the sound of gunfire was incessant. The artillerymen fired frantically, while the ordinary soldiers lit grenades and threw them down in a rush.
"Keep the kerosene!"
Lin Qiuyang shouted, and troops on both sides of the valley brought out over twenty large vats filled with burning kerosene.
"Fire!"
Lin Qiuyang commanded, and the vats dropped from the sky. With a series of crisp "bangs," the vats shattered, showering Spirit Hall's Spirit Masters with scorching kerosene, causing them to scream and wail.
Meanwhile, soldiers above the valley continued to drop incendiary bombs, the resulting flames igniting the kerosene. Spirit Hall's Spirit Masters were completely engulfed, transforming into human-shaped fireballs before being reduced to ash in the raging flames.
Only a few defensive Spirit Masters, and those with water and ice attributes, managed to extinguish the flames and escape.
Even so, over two thousand Spirit Masters were tragically killed by the bombardment of incendiary bombs and the burning kerosene.
Originally, there were over four thousand Spirit Masters, but now, after being ambushed by Lin Qiuyang and his men, only a little over fifteen hundred remained.
It's hard to imagine that just over half a month ago, there were an army of ten thousand Spirit Masters. Now, in just over half a month, more than four-fifths of them had been killed in exile. This spoke volumes about the brutality and cruelty of war.
While Spirit Hall's Spirit Masters looked pitiful, the slaughter continued.
"Damn it! Looks like that old bastard Lin Qiuyang wants to wipe us out right here!" Yue Guan exclaimed angrily. His Spirit Power hadn't fully recovered to begin with, and now, holding off these bombardments was overwhelming.
"Hmph, Lin Qiuyang, isn't he just a Soul Douluo? I'm going to take his life!" As she spoke, Spirit Kite Douluo spread her flaming wings and soared into the air!
"Spirit Kite! Be careful!" Demon Bear Douluo couldn't help but warn.
In an instant, accompanied by a gust of wind, Spirit Kite Douluo, having activated her Spirit Form and transformed into a blazing Spirit Kite, appeared before Lin Qiuyang.
"Lin Qiuyang, today is the day you die!"
As she said that, she looked at Niu Gao and Yang Wudi beside him, her eyes filled with murderous intent, and said angrily: "I didn't expect that the patriarchs of the Po Clan and the Yu Clan are here too. In that case, you will all die together!"
"That's not necessarily the case!"
Lin Qiuyang suddenly broke out, releasing the Black Iron Sword Spirit. Two yellow, two purple, and five black, nine Spirit Rings emerged one after another, floating under his feet, and the aura of a Titled Douluo swept the entire battlefield!
He was seen holding a Black Iron Sword, pointing it at Spirit Kite Douluo above the sky, with a slight curl of his lips, sneering: "Elder Spirit Kite, you may not be able to take my life today!"
Looking at the nine Spirit Rings under Lin Qiuyang's feet, Spirit Kite Douluo's pupils instantly dilated, her Spirit lifted, her face full of disbelief, and she said in surprise: "You, you actually became a Titled Douluo?"
"Yes, thanks to the help of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I am already a Titled Douluo. Elder Spirit Kite, not only will I not die today, but this will become your burial place!"
"Sixth Spirit Skill: Sword and Shadow!"
As the sixth Spirit Ring flashed, countless Black Iron Sword phantoms appeared behind Lin Qiuyang. Under his control, the black iron sword phantoms shot towards Spirit Kite Douluo!
"Damn it!"
"Third Spirit Skill: Blazing Flame Amplification!"
"Fourth Spirit Skill: Raging Heat Wave!"
Spirit Kite Douluo, worthy of being a veteran Titled Douluo, could actually activate two Spirit Powers simultaneously. After the amplification of the third Spirit Skill, the heat wave that swept across the surroundings became even more terrifying!
