Chapter 346: Overwhelming Numbers, Luring the Enemy Deep
Although the black-clad men immediately launched a fierce assault, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been prepared because Yu Mingfeng discovered them in advance. Furthermore, the terrain at the Clan entrance was narrow, so the black-clad men were temporarily unable to break through the defensive line.
However, this was only the initial attack being repelled.
These black-clad men were all Spirit Masters from Spirit Hall. Naturally, some among them possessed formidable strength. With these powerful Spirit Masters acting as the vanguard, the black-clad men soon launched another fierce attack.
Yu Luomian and Yu Mingfeng were preparing to assist their clansmen in holding the entrance, but they were immediately intercepted.
Unlike their subordinates, who wore black clothes and covered their faces with black cloth, the Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall made no attempt to hide their identities. They appeared openly and without restraint.
The strongest among them, Demon Subduing Douluo, did not make a move. He had only been invited by Bibi Dong to prevent unforeseen accidents, and he would not act unless absolutely necessary.
Ghost Douluo and Devil Bear Douluo targeted Yu Luomian, while Sea Turtle Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo confronted Yu Mingfeng.
"Gui Mei."
Yu Luomian's Dragon Claw, wreathed in lightning, swatted Devil Bear Douluo away. He then looked toward Ghost Douluo's ethereal figure and said in a deep voice, "Spirit Hall actually wants to annihilate my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? Dream on!"
"Enough talk!"
Ghost Douluo, surrounded by streaks of ghostly shadows, flashed behind Yu Luomian. Black spirit power condensed into a massive spectral claw and slashed fiercely down at him.
"I ask you, was Yue Guan killed by your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
Originally, Spirit Hall's plan to destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan only involved deploying four Titled Douluo, and Ghost Douluo had not been scheduled to participate. It was Ghost Douluo who voluntarily asked Bibi Dong to join, which was why she added him to the mission.
The reason Ghost Douluo did this was naturally because of Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan. The matter concerning Yue Guan had practically become an obsession for him.
"You mean Chrysanthemum Guan."
Yu Luomian narrowly avoided Ghost Douluo's spectral claw, and a faint smile appeared on his usually stern face.
"That's right. Chrysanthemum Guan is dead, and I killed him personally. Speaking of which, Yue Guan came to intercept and kill us, didn't he? Unfortunately, his strength was lacking, so I counter-killed him instead."
"Yu Luomian, you deserve death!"
After receiving confirmation from Yu Luomian, Ghost Douluo's chest instantly filled with rage. He roared and launched an even fiercer assault against Yu Luomian.
Yu Luomian was besieged by the enraged Ghost Douluo and Devil Bear Douluo. Although he seemed to be in constant danger, he still managed to hold on.
As for Yu Mingfeng on the other side, his situation was slightly better than Yu Luomian's.
The ones attacking Yu Mingfeng were Sea Turtle Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo. Although Sea Turtle Douluo's spirit power was three ranks higher than Yu Mingfeng's, he specialized in defense, so his offensive ability was relatively weak. Ghost Leopard Douluo, on the other hand, was an agility attack-type Spirit Master and was not suited for direct confrontation.
"I remember you. You are Yu Yuanzhen's son, Yu Mingfeng, correct?"
After exchanging a blow with Yu Mingfeng, Sea Turtle Douluo said, "Your cultivation has actually reached the Titled Douluo level."
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan truly hides itself well. To secretly possess three Titled Douluo, if we had not deployed more people this time to be safe, we might genuinely have been unable to deal with your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"Old Sea Turtle, do you really think Spirit Hall can destroy our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan this time?"
Yu Mingfeng sneered and swatted away Ghost Leopard Douluo, who had circled behind him and attempted a sneak attack.
"I regret to inform you that all of you will die here today!"
"Oh? We will die here?"
A flash of anger crossed Sea Turtle Douluo's eyes.
No matter what level their cultivation reached, Spirit Masters with turtle-type Martial Souls were inevitably provoked by such a derogatory title.
The furious Sea Turtle Douluo swept his gaze around and saw the massive Dragon stone sculptures standing on both sides of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's entrance. He immediately unleashed surging spirit power and shattered the two enormous Dragon stone sculptures.
"Today, the fate of your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will be the same as these two stone sculptures!"
After saying this, Sea Turtle Douluo casually smashed the gilded plaque at the entrance of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan into pieces.
"Old Sea Turtle, you have completely enraged me. I will kill you today!"
Seeing this scene, Yu Mingfeng's eyes also turned cold.
At the high level, four Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall were besieging two Titled Douluo from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. At the lower level, a large number of black-clad Spirit Masters from Spirit Hall were fiercely attacking the Clan entrance.
Just as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan seemed about to collapse, the internal forces of the Clan, which had gathered after Yu Mingfeng released the alarm signal, finally arrived.
As a large number of fresh troops from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan poured in, the shaky defensive line at the entrance was temporarily stabilized. Yu Yuanzhen, the Clan Master, also arrived on the battlefield.
Seeing that Yu Yuanzhen seemed ready to help Yu Luomian and Yu Mingfeng by taking on two Titled Douluo and relieving their pressure, Demon Subduing Douluo, who had remained motionless until now, finally summoned his Coiling Dragon Rod Martial Soul and intercepted Yu Yuanzhen.
Demon Subduing Douluo slowly said, "Clan Master Yu, I am afraid it will not be so easy for you to support your brother and son."
"You are Spirit Hall's Seventh Consecrated Elder, Demon Subduing Douluo?"
Yu Yuanzhen instantly recognized him.
"Spirit Hall truly has grand plans. Not only did you deploy four Elders, but also one Consecrated Elder. Below, there must be more than ten thousand people as well."
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan only had around four thousand Spirit Masters in total, yet Spirit Hall had deployed more than ten thousand people to destroy them. Their numbers were more than double. This was simply insane.
Demon Subduing Douluo said calmly, "The Elder Council originally decided to send only eight thousand people to deal with you, but due to the importance placed on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Pope authorized the addition of two thousand more."
He only needed to restrain Yu Yuanzhen for now.
Once the other four Titled Douluo dealt with Yu Luomian and Yu Mingfeng, they could surround and attack Yu Yuanzhen together. Victory would then be assured.
"Bibi Dong!"
A trace of killing intent flashed in Yu Yuanzhen's eyes. He immediately used his spirit power to shout loudly, "All members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, heed my command! Retreat!"
Spirit Hall had far too many people compared to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
If they insisted on holding the Clan entrance, this place would only become a meat grinder, resulting in enormous losses.
After all, no matter what, Spirit Hall would not give up on taking the entrance. Even if they had to rely on sheer numbers, they would still force their way in.
Therefore, instead of fighting a bitter battle here, it was better to temporarily abandon the entrance and lure the enemy deeper inside.
Ever since learning that Spirit Hall would soon launch the Spirit Hunting Operation, they had already prepared some "gifts" inside the Clan to entertain these "distinguished guests."
Hearing the Clan Master's command, the Spirit Masters of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan fought while retreating, yielding the entrance and falling back toward the interior of the Clan.
