Chapter 261 Scolding Dai Hao
The Heavenly Soul Army, like a resurrected torrent of steel, marched away from the Eight Horizontal and Vertical Armies.
The heavy footsteps and the howls of various tamed soul beasts converged into a destructive storm, crushing towards Spirit Fighting City.
Along the way, the remaining sporadic resistance was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, instantly collapsing before the overwhelming momentum of the Heavenly Soul Eastern Army.
Their marching speed was extremely fast.
In just half a month, the former capital city, which once symbolized the supreme glory of the Douling Empire, could be seen on the horizon.
The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the towering city walls in a tragic golden-red hue, like the final gasp of a dying beast.
On the city wall, the flag of the Douling Empire was being frantically waved by Tianyang Douluo, but all that could be heard was a deathly silence of despair.
On the plains east of Lingdou City, another equally large military camp has been set up.
The Star Luo Empire's army, led by Dai Hao, was like another ferocious tiger ready to devour its prey, and it besieged the city.
Although their momentum was not as sharp as that of the Heavenly Soul Army, it was still something that the current Lingdou City could not withstand.
The Heavenly Soul Army was in the west, its azure-gold dragon banners exuding a powerful aura and carrying the overwhelming momentum of a unified will.
The Star Luo Army is in the east, its black banner with a white tiger design resembling a dark cloud pressing down, exuding a chilling and iron-blooded aura.
Two powerful armies faced each other from afar, the air seemed to freeze, and even the wind whispered cautiously.
Lingdou City, sandwiched in the middle, is like a fish on a chopping board, awaiting the arrival of the two great empires.
Huo Yuhao reined in the ten-thousand-year-old horned-scaled horse beneath him.
"Azure Dragon King," Li Kongming said, "Dai Hao has been stationed here for half a day, but has not launched a full-scale attack."
"It seems he wants us to make the first move and wear down Tianyang Douluo's last bit of madness."
Although Tianyang is old, he has reached level ninety-eight thanks to the support of the entire Douling Empire.
This is not something the Star Luo Empire can easily shake.
Tianyang Douluo is destined to be dealt with only by Du Busi.
The Star Luo Empire has not yet gone to war with the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Therefore, after defeating Tianyang Douluo, Du Busi, the Limit Douluo, cannot participate in the battle for the city between the two sides.
On the city walls, an atmosphere of despair, like a thick fog, enveloped every defending soldier.
Their eyes were vacant, their hands gripping their weapons were trembling, and their morale had already plummeted.
After witnessing the arrival of the Heavenly Soul Army, Tianyang Douluo put away his banner and returned to the Douling Imperial Palace.
"Heavenly Sun Douluo!"
Huo Yuhao's voice suddenly rose in pitch, spreading throughout Lingdou City and the Star Luo Army through his mental power.
Look around you! Look at the ground beneath your feet!
"Your once-proud Douling Empire is now reduced to this lonely city!"
"Do your soldiers still have even the slightest bit of fighting spirit left in their eyes?!"
"Do your subjects still have even the slightest hope for the future?!"
"Is the imperial dignity you seek to uphold really about dragging countless innocent lives down with you in this final moment?!"
Huo Yuhao's voice was like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of every soldier in the garrison.
The last vestiges of tragic heroism and madness that Tianyang had forcibly stirred in their hearts were completely shattered.
Whether it's worth it or not is a matter of personal choice.
Huo Yuhao doesn't care what choice the last defenders of Douling will make; all he needs to do now is shatter their last vestiges of will.
"The plaque of Spirit City is destined to turn to ashes!"
"What meaning do those names in history hold, other than bringing eternal pain to your loved ones?"
"Should we follow a mad old man on his deathbed, or lay down our weapons, open the city gates, welcome the new order, and give ourselves and our families a chance to live and see tomorrow?"
"The choice is yours!"
Deep within the palace, the furious roar of Tianyang Douluo echoed.
The city walls were deathly silent.
Some soldiers' eyes completely lost their light, looking blank and struggling before finally collapsing to the ground.
"And you, Dai Hao!"
Huo Yuhao's voice suddenly turned eastward: "You, the White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire, have led your fierce army to the city walls, yet you have remained motionless for half a day. Are you waiting for me, Tianhun, to clear the obstacles for you?!"
"You can't even face the final madness of a dying old man; your actions are so timid and hesitant. Have your white tiger's fangs rusted?"
Huo Yuhao's question was piercing, carrying undisguised contempt and mockery.
Even if it is known that this is a necessary means to reduce losses in war, when two armies are facing each other and morale is paramount, being so blatantly and humiliatingly exposed by the opponent will be a huge blow to the morale of the troops.
Some soldiers from the Xingluo Northern Group Army looked up in the direction of the commander's flag.
The White Tiger Guards could not tolerate a rising general, so they poisoned him in the main tent.
A mix of emotions cast a shadow of doubt over some of the once fervent gazes.
Inside the command tent, Dai Hao sat upright in the main seat, his face ashen.
Throughout his life of battles, he had never suffered such a humiliating disgrace.
To be so publicly humiliated by a junior, he has been nailed to the pillar of shame, a figure of cowardice and rusty fangs!
Dai Hao took a deep breath, knowing he couldn't fall for the trap.
Huo Yuhao wanted to provoke him, to make him lose his judgment in anger, and to launch a preemptive attack on Lingdou City to withstand Tianyang's final and most frantic counterattack!
In the sky, Huo Yuhao's voice did not pause at all, but instead became even louder.
"Listen! With the arrival of my Heavenly Soul Army, the fate of Spirit Battle City is no longer in doubt!"
"Heavenly Sun Douluo, burn me if you want! Your level 98 remains will illuminate the path for the new order that my Heavenly Soul Empire is about to establish on this land!"
"Let's hold a thorough purification ceremony for this land that has suffered so much from division!"
"As for you, Dai Hao!"
Huo Yuhao's gaze seemed to pierce through the tent, staring directly at the enraged White Tiger Duke: "Put away your laughable schemes! Lingdou City is the goal that my Heavenly Soul soldiers fought and bled our way through, overcoming countless obstacles!"
"Its ownership is none of your business!"
"You want it? Sure!"
Huo Yuhao abruptly waved his hand, pointing to the solid ground beneath his feet, his voice resolute: "In the real battle, let's step over the corpses of my Heavenly Soul Army!"
"otherwise"
His voice suddenly turned fierce, like a thunderclap from the heavens: "Take your army and go back to your Star Luo Empire!"
"You're not getting any freebies here!"
"I am Huo Yuhao, the Azure Dragon King of the Heavenly Soul Empire!"
"Lingdou City will fall today!"
"The Douling Empire will perish today!"
"Where are the Heavenly Soul Warriors?!"
"exist!!!"
His response was a roar as powerful as a landslide or a tsunami!
The army formation erupted with a murderous aura that soared to the heavens, countless weapons pointing straight at the sky, their sharpness tearing through the clouds!
"Form ranks!"
"Attack the city!"
boom!
The moment Huo Yuhao's voice fell, an indescribable, powerful aura erupted from him!
The illusory image of the Azure Dragon roared to the sky, its dragon eyes fixed on the White Tiger banner of the Star Luo Empire, creating a sharp standoff!
Their objective was clear, and their momentum was overwhelming, as if the Star Luo army opposite them was just air!
This disregard and resolute stance is itself the most powerful declaration:
Lingdou City is the prey of Tianhun, and no one else is allowed to set foot in it!
The Azure Dragon King of the Heavenly Soul Empire and the White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire faced off on the battlefield for the first time!
With Huo Yuhao's command, the Heavenly Soul Army, this sophisticated war machine, instantly started up.
The mentor group quickly advanced, their massive soul-guided cannons flashing with a dangerous light as they aimed at the seemingly sturdy walls of Spirit Fighting City.
The heavily armored infantry phalanx advanced with heavy steps, their shields linked together to form an iron wall.
In the sky, the formation of the flying soul guide device squadron began to circle, like eagles ready to devour their prey.
On the city wall, the last vestiges of the defenders' will crumbled completely under the overwhelming military force and Huo Yuhao's piercing words.
The roar of Tianyang Douluo deep within the palace sounded more like the desperate howl of a cornered beast at its end.
"Hahaha!"
"Huo Yuhao! You little beast! Didn't you want to watch me burn it?!"
"I'll burn it right now and show you!"
A deafening roar, accompanied by blinding flames, came from deep within the palace!
Then came the second sound! And the third sound!
The violent explosions continued incessantly, thick smoke billowed, and flames soared into the sky!
"History books? What are history books anyway! I'll burn them for you to see! I'll burn them for heaven and earth to see!"
"My fighting spirit will never yield!!!"
The final roar was filled with a mournful, blood-soaked sorrow.
The entire Douling Imperial Palace was completely transformed into a raging sea of fire!
Flames roared and thick smoke blotted out the sun!
The firelight illuminated half the sky.
Huo Yuhao watched calmly as Tianyang Douluo soared into the sky.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Tianyang Douluo did not choose to fight in any army.
Instead, it chose to self-destruct amidst the raging flames that scorched the heavens and boiled the seas.
Tianyang Douluo, the last guardian of the Douling Empire, fulfilled his oath in the most extreme way.
The palace was completely transformed into a fiery inferno.
Flames roared, heat waves distorted the air, and the smell of burning permeated the entire city.
The last spiritual symbol of the Douling Empire, in the hands of its own guardians, met its self-destructive end.
The already demoralized defenders, watching the flames consume everything, lost their last bit of support.
The clanging and clattering of weapons hitting the ground echoed throughout the room.
Countless soldiers collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the sea of fire, uttering desperate sobs.
"Heavenly Soul Warriors, heed my command!"
"Target—East and North Gates of Lingdou City! Breach the city!"
"Anyone who blocks my way—will be killed without mercy!"
"go ahead!"
