Chapter 347: The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Encirclement Plan
Successfully capturing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's main gate immediately boosted Spirit Hall's morale.
After all, this meant they could continuously send large numbers of people through the main gate, fully leveraging their numerical advantage.
It could be said that capturing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's main gate already meant Spirit Hall's Soul Hunting Operation against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was halfway to success.
After leaving a few hundred people to guard the area, Ghost Douluo waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to continue the assault and completely eradicate the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, leaving no one alive.
Facing Spirit Hall's fierce attack, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan merely fought while retreating, continuously tightening their defenses until they finally stopped in front of the Clan's main council hall.
Seeing this, Ghost Douluo could not help but sneer.
"Yu Yuanzhen, why did you stop? Keep retreating. Why not simply let us occupy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's council hall and tear it down?"
"But this is fine too. We will kill all of you right in front of the council hall, then burn your corpses along with it. How does that sound?"
After confirming Yue Guan's death from Yu Luomian's mouth, Ghost Douluo's mental state was clearly on the edge of madness.
Yu Luomian and Yu Mingfeng could not be bothered to respond to Ghost Douluo's words. They merely glanced at him as if he were already dead, then turned their attention to Yu Yuanzhen, awaiting his instructions.
"That is enough," Yu Yuanzhen said softly. "Send the signal."
Yu Luomian, who stood beside him, nodded. Instead of taking out a signal flare or anything similar, he simply raised his hand and flung a Thunderball into the air.
The Thunderball exploded high above, instantly transforming into the shape of a ferocious Dragon head, visible to everyone within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"What is going on?"
A sense of unease rose in Ghost Douluo's heart. He immediately ordered, "Attack! Kill everyone in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
After receiving Ghost Douluo's command, the black-clad Spirit Hall members surged forward like a monstrous wave.
It was not only their subordinates. The five Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall also moved, their targets being Yu Yuanzhen and the other two.
Spirit Hall planned to maintain the same arrangement as at the main gate: Demon Subduing Douluo would face Yu Yuanzhen, Ghost Douluo and Devil Bear Douluo would deal with Yu Luomian, while Sea Turtle Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo would suppress Yu Mingfeng.
Yu Yuanzhen and the other two did not forcefully change this lineup, because this arrangement was actually more advantageous for them.
In Spirit Hall's view, as long as Demon Subduing Douluo could hold down Yu Yuanzhen, the remaining four Titled Douluo could easily eliminate Yu Mingfeng and Yu Luomian, then regroup to jointly attack Yu Yuanzhen.
But that was nothing more than wishful thinking.
Could Demon Subduing Douluo truly hold down Yu Yuanzhen?
Obviously not.
One had to know that Demon Subduing Douluo's spirit power cultivation was only rank ninety-six. Even among rank ninety-six Titled Douluo, he was relatively ordinary.
After all, among Spirit Hall's seven Consecrated Elders, excluding the High Priest and the Second Consecrated Elder, the remaining five Consecrated Elders were all rank ninety-six. Demon Subduing Douluo ranked last among those five rank ninety-six Consecrated Elders, which showed his actual strength.
Yu Yuanzhen, however, was rank ninety-eight.
His spirit power cultivation alone surpassed Demon Subduing Douluo's by two ranks. Moreover, he had the assistance of a Spirit Bone. Under the enhancement of that Spirit Bone, he possessed strength comparable to a Limit Douluo.
Thus, the moment they clashed, Demon Subduing Douluo's expression changed drastically. Even his Coiling Dragon Rod Martial Soul became unstable, faintly giving the impression that it might crack.
This situation was completely normal.
One must remember that Yun Xi, the absolute overlord of Thunder Gorge, possessed power comparable to a human rank ninety-six Titled Douluo.
Yet some time ago, Yu Yuanzhen had subdued Yun Xi while being besieged by numerous powerful Spirit Beasts.
"Yu Yuanzhen, why are you so strong?"
Demon Subduing Douluo asked in shock. From Yu Yuanzhen, he actually felt a pressure similar to that of the Second Consecrated Elder, Gold Crocodile Douluo.
"Has your spirit power reached rank ninety-eight?"
He had never expected the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to be hiding so much.
Not only had they gained an additional Titled Douluo, even their Clan Master had secretly cultivated to rank ninety-eight.
Even if this Soul Hunting Operation managed to wipe out all the middle and lower ranks of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, as long as Yu Yuanzhen escaped, he would become an enormous problem.
Demon Subduing Douluo could now only hope that Ghost Douluo and the others would quickly kill Yu Luomian and Yu Mingfeng. After that, the five of them together might still have a chance to surround and stop Yu Yuanzhen.
Yu Yuanzhen offered no explanation for Demon Subduing Douluo's shock. He merely said, "Since you dared offend my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, not a single one of you will leave here alive today."
As his voice fell, as if confirming Yu Yuanzhen's words, a tremendous roar echoed from the direction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's main gate.
Yu Yuanzhen had not been speaking lightly when he said they would annihilate all of Spirit Hall's invading enemies. Naturally, he had a plan to deal with them.
The reason they had abandoned the defense of the main gate was to let every single Spirit Hall invader enter, then close the door and beat the dog.
The ancestral land of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was surrounded by tall, perilous peaks, and the main gate was the only entrance and exit. As long as that point was held, escaping would become extremely difficult.
Hearing the commotion from the main gate, Yu Yuanzhen knew they had succeeded there. He no longer held back and immediately activated the Domain-type skill attached to his Spirit Bone, enveloping Demon Subduing Douluo.
Although both opponents were rank ninety-six, the last time Yu Yuanzhen fought Yun Xi, it had been to help Tianlin obtain his seventh spirit ring. Because of that, Yu Yuanzhen had held back, afraid that he might accidentally kill Yun Xi.
This time was completely different.
This was a battle to the death.
Therefore, Yu Yuanzhen held nothing back. He intended to eliminate Demon Subduing Douluo as quickly as possible, then support the others.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan only had four thousand Spirit Masters, while Spirit Hall had sent more than ten thousand Spirit Masters for this invasion. In terms of numbers, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was at an absolute disadvantage. Because of this, the Clan's high-level experts needed to support the middle and lower-level battlefields.
Sensing that Yu Yuanzhen was no longer holding back and had used the power of his Spirit Bone, Yu Luomian and Yu Mingfeng were equally decisive. They activated their Spirit Bone skills, causing their auras to surge.
Even though Yu Luomian and Yu Mingfeng were both fighting two opponents each, and both of their opponents had higher cultivation than them, after using their Spirit Bones, they still forcefully fought them to a standstill.
Activating Spirit Bones caused a significant consumption of their own spirit power. However, both Yu Luomian and Yu Mingfeng were Titled Douluo, so their spirit power could sustain them for quite some time.
Before their spirit power was exhausted, the two of them could completely match Ghost Douluo and the other three.
And once Yu Yuanzhen dealt with Demon Subduing Douluo and freed himself to handle Ghost Douluo's group, everything would become simple.
