Douluo Continent: My Days in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 961 Where did the reinforcements from the other side come from?

Chapter 961 Where did the reinforcements from the other side come from?

Xu Tianran was focused on commanding his small army and the worshippers of the temple to besiege and kill Ye Nanxiao and Yan Shaozhe.

The former's shameless martial spirit and the latter's violent cultivation both gave Xu Tianran a headache.

But they were located in a busy downtown area, which prevented them from fighting effectively.

It wasn't that Xu Tianran felt sorry for the common people nearby, but rather that he felt sorry for these streets, as they were all part of his empire's economic development!

After Ye Nanxiao and that woman's martial souls merged, they were able to fly and engaged in a chase around the surrounding buildings. His army, although equipped with flying soul tools, was not as agile.

"Alas, my soldiers are no match for Ye Nanxiao's! How pitiful!" Xu Tianran pondered for a moment and decided to hold the battle outside the city.

Although there are many villages and residential areas outside the city, there are not many tall buildings for Ye Nanxiao to hide in.

Staring at the two figures fighting and retreating, Xu Tianran was extremely frustrated.

The Sun Moon Empire is the strongest on the continent, and its Guardian Hands are the most elite troops under its own navy. Although only half of the troops were transferred, they are still elite. It's one thing that they can't defeat a Super Douluo, but how come they can't even beat a Soul Douluo?

Is this what a Soul Master with the ultimate attributes looks like?

The same goes for the Offering Hall. With so many people, not only could they not beat Yan Shaozhe, but they were also beaten down by him.

Of course, Xu Tianran knew that the foundation of his Sun Moon Empire was soul tools, and that in terms of overall strength and quality of soul masters, it was definitely inferior to Shrek Academy.

Just as he issued the order to withdraw the remaining two guardian forces and change the strategy, a huge wave suddenly surged up.

The soldiers who had positioned Xu Tianran at the rear broke through a large gap.

Giant waves?

Xu Tianran: "?"

A giant wave brought from the city?

Are they reinforcements for Ye Nanxiao?

Speaking of which, where are my secret guards?

Fire Girl: "?"

Where did the waves come from?

"Xu Tianran is starting to use his ultimate move? Such a huge wave?" Ye Nanxiao asked in surprise.

"But we have an advantage against water-type enemies. There's no reason why the emperor wouldn't know that, is there?" Ma Xiaotao was also surprised.

Ye Nanxiao suddenly felt that the way the giant wave crashed down looked familiar, but he didn't think about it in detail; getting out of there was the priority.

Taking advantage of the giant wave attracting Xu Tianran's attention, the Fire Maiden immediately became entangled in raging flames, a star rose from her body, exploded into a meteor shower, and fell with the ice pillars.

A thick, icy fog, concealing a deadly intent, spread outwards.

Ye Nanxiao's clones continuously destroyed the soul tools on the opposite side and killed those in the army who could issue commands.

Before Xu Tianran could figure out where the giant wave came from, he witnessed an unbelievable scene.

A massive, magnificent ichthyosaur appeared in its field of vision, slapping its giant whip-like tail as it swept across its army, its sharp forepaws easily tearing apart the soul-guided cannons.

"Where did these Shrek reinforcements come from!" Xu Zi slammed his hand on the armrest in exasperation.

The arriving army was unable to join the battle because of this ichthyosaur.

Under the cover of the fish and dragons, shadowy figures, like scythes in the night, reached out towards the elite guards protecting the nation.

"Damn it! Elder Xue!" Xu Tianran saw the soldiers being carried down by the harvested wheat; they were eerie shadows.

Xue Chen immediately emerged from Xu Tianran's shadow, snorting coldly, "How dare you play with shadows in front of me?"

They're practically asking for it!

Xue Chen bent his fingers into claws, which were covered with a layer of black color, while the shadow beneath him made the same movement, its hands transforming into ferocious beast claws.

"Oh? This human can manipulate shadows?" The demon spirit sensed Xue Chen's martial spirit aura and a meaningful smile appeared on its face.

There aren't many soul beasts that can manipulate shadows, and he happens to be the king of this realm.

"Shadow Strike!" Xue Chen's speed was incredibly fast, as if he had become one with the wind.

Among the spirit rings behind him, the seventh and eighth spirit rings were shining.

The dark shadow gradually covered Xue Chen's body, revealing only half of his face. The other half of his face transformed into scarlet eyes and a beastly appearance with many sharp horns.

"Shadow Beast? How long has it been since I've seen a murderous soul beast like this? It actually appeared in the form of a human martial soul, so I can't miss it!" A fanaticism suddenly rose in the demon spirit's eyes.

"Junior sister, I'm leaving this to you! I'm going to have some fun with this Shadow Beast!"

"Call me 'Senior Sister,' or there's no point in talking."

"Okay, senior sister."

The demon grinned, and a large number of black shadows erupted from beneath its feet, transforming into lines of black shadow.

"Shadow Binding".

The thin, dark lines fell one by one onto Xue Chen's body; though they appeared delicate, they unleashed terrifying power.

Xue Chen's expression changed. When he came into contact with the black shadow line, he felt a strong pressure, which came from the suppression of his martial soul.

"The quality of the opponent's martial soul is superior to mine!" This thought flashed through Xue Chen's mind.

Immediately afterwards, the demon spirit seemed to be painting the entire world black with a brush, its shadow spreading ever onward.

Xue Chen immediately activated his Martial Soul True Body, attempting to escape the demon spirit's control.

The jet-black claws kept slashing at the shadowy rope, but made no sound.

"The World of Shadows"

The demon's figure gradually sank down, merging with the black shadow beneath it.

One after another, dark lines fell on Xue Chen, forcibly dragging him into the world of demon spirits' talents.

Shadow Douluo Xue Chen was like a pebble thrown into a swamp, causing no ripples.

Seeing this, Xu Tianran could no longer maintain his composure. A flash of light appeared in his hand, and a small dragon-shaped seal appeared.

He glared angrily at Ye Nanxiao, then activated the mechanism on the seal and flung it into the sky.

A golden dragon with bared fangs and claws flashed in the sky above Mingdu.

Sun and Moon Palace, Hall of Offerings.

Kong Deming sighed and carefully put down the core array component in his hand.

Ye Yulin stood beside him with her hands behind her back, chuckling, "Emperor's Signal, it seems Shrek Academy has exceeded expectations this time."

This forced Xu Tianran to resort to imperial signals.

Forced summoning of the Grand Master of the Offering Hall.

Upon seeing this signal, no matter what Kong Deming was doing, he had to stop and rush to provide support immediately.

Similarly, this signal also served as a call to action for Ye Yulin.

Kong Deming originally thought that he could delay until this unnecessary war ended, and once the Shrek people escaped from Mingdu, there would be no more threats along the way that could stop them.

Xu Tianran needs time to assemble his army, and if even the elite of the Guardian Army can't retain these people, what can the armies in other regions rely on?

The latest novel is first published here!

Most importantly, Kong Deming knew that even if Xu Tianran was defeated and captured, the Shrek Academy people would not kill him and would spare his life.

His aim was to cancel the war through silence.

But it seems that Xu Tianran has really been pushed to the limit.

While the imperial signal does have the effect of coercive conscription, each generation of Grand Masters does not send many signal flares to the emperor.

Unless the emperor is a wise ruler with a very strong affection for the empire, who works diligently to lead it further and further, instead of causing chaos and disorder in the empire for his own ambition.

In particular, Xu Tianran's decision to establish the Holy Spirit Church as the state religion touched a nerve with Kong Deming.

Ye Yulin still had that same smiling face. He was a very easygoing person who acted according to his own preferences and morals. As long as it didn't cross the moral line and happened to be something he was interested in and had the time, he would follow the emperor's arrangements.

Otherwise, no one but Kong Deming could command him, not even the old guy who ranked second.

"Go, and come back soon to save his life." Kong Deming's body shone with silver light, and he flew away as a streak of light.

Ye Yulin smiled and put on her flying soul tool, taking off at full speed to set up her high-altitude soul tool.

Orange, who was in another area, turned pale the moment she saw the golden dragon in the sky above Mingdu.

She understood that Kong Deming was going to join the war.

"Bone Robe, come with me quickly! I have another plan!"

Orange, holding Ye Guyi's hand, ran towards the headquarters of the Guardian Hand.

Ye Nanxiao didn't understand the meaning of the golden dragon pattern, but he understood the meaning of setting off fireworks all too well.

"Xu Tianran has called for reinforcements! We need to prepare for the attack!"

Yan Shaozhe, in his guise as a phoenix of light, responded with a cry.

Without any members of the Tang Clan present, Yan Shaozhe unleashed almost 80% of his power, causing the members of the Offering Hall to suffer repeated defeats.

"No! If this continues, they'll break through the encirclement!"

"Calm down! This is the city! We can't use high-powered soul tools here!"

"Then how are we going to fight Shrek Academy's headmaster?! Tell me!"

The group of retainers, who had been thoroughly humiliated by Yan Shaozhe, were filled with growing rage, having always been treated with great respect in the Sun Moon Empire.

Not only were there soldiers protecting the nation, but also a large number of civilians hiding inside the building.

This group of top-tier combatants, revered and honored by the Sun and Moon Royal Family, were actually being beaten down by Yan Shaozhe, causing them to lose face.

A short, stout priest roared, panting heavily. His hands trembled as he reached for his beard, which he used to meticulously groom, but which was now burned by the fire of light, leaving only charred patches.

"You bastard! I'm going to kill you!"

Enraged, the short, stout elder produced a conical, soul-guided giant cannon with multiple layers of reflective mirrors covering its barrel.

Upon seeing this, the other worshippers quickly distanced themselves.

Because this short, stout elder had produced a level-nine soul tool with tremendous destructive power.

They were used as punching bags by Yan Shaozhe, and they also thought about using their own soul tools to fight, but they didn't want to be labeled as harming Mingdu and affecting civilians. And now, someone just happened to be the one to take the lead.

"Die!" The short, stout elder frantically poured his soul power into the cannon, aiming it at the Radiant Phoenix, which was being entangled by several elders.

The Fire Girl noticed the unusual fluctuations in soul power. When she clearly saw the soul-guided cannon radiating an aura of destruction, she quickly threw out her ice blade and warned Yan Shaozhe.

"Old Yan! Retreat now!"

"You wretched creature! How dare you!"

A beam of silver light descended from the sky and struck the short, stout worshipper hard.

An old, large hand grabbed the short, stout elder's head and knocked him unconscious.

Upon seeing who it was, Ye Nanxiao's voice became unusually serious.

"Kong Deming, the Grand Chancellor of the Sun and Moon Empire!"
