Chapter 178: The Fierce Battle at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect
It must be said that the Wuhun Hall had indeed made extensive preparations for this Soul Hunting operation. Not only did no information leak from beginning to end, but the Soul Masters chosen were all elite.
Especially for this batch of Soul Masters that Wuhun Hall had focused on training, they were mostly battle-type Soul Masters, and each one was extremely skilled in weapon usage.
In addition, there was a large number of Soul Masters capable of flying with their swords, a rare type even in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, effectively providing air support.
Wuhun Hall had sent a total of ten thousand Soul Masters this time, and a large number of flying Soul Masters, under the command of Ling Yuan Douluo, crossed high mountains and obstacles to directly enter the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
As a large number of Soul Masters poured in, even Sword Douluo could no longer calmly defend the sect's walls.
After all, there was only one Snake Spear Douluo here, while Wuhun Hall had sent four Title Douluo.
Ling Yuan Douluo's enormous Fire Eagle circled above the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Countless fiery feathers flew out from the eagle, each glowing with flames. In an instant, the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was set ablaze, and many disciples were turned to ash by the flames.
Meanwhile, the flying Soul Masters of Wuhun Hall took advantage of the confusion caused by the fire and quickly launched their attacks, killing many disciples instantly.
Originally, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was built with very difficult terrain to penetrate, making it almost impossible for ordinary Soul Masters to break in. However, the ten thousand Soul Masters sent by Wuhun Hall were clearly meticulously prepared, with different Title Douluo leading the assault.
Although Sword Douluo stood firm, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was just too vast, and it could not prevent attacks from all directions.
Soon, the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was filled with battle, engulfed in flames, and many lives were lost.
Ning Fengzhi reacted quickly and was well-prepared, but no one had anticipated such a swift and overwhelming attack, nor the sheer number of enemies.
To launch this assault against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Wuhun Hall had sent ten thousand Soul Masters, along with hundreds of lower-tier sect members, all of whom were elites.
Ning Fengzhi stood sternly in the center of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's plaza, continuously issuing commands and overseeing the situation.
Bone Douluo was by his side providing protection. The sect leader was crucial; they were the spiritual leader of the sect. If the sect leader were to be killed, it would be a devastating blow to the sect's morale.
Wuhun Hall seemed to have recognized this point, relentlessly attacking the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Soul Masters, with waves of attackers coming one after another, which made Bone Douluo somewhat exhausted.
Especially since Wuhun Hall had sent so many Soul Masters, occasional Soul Techniques were directed toward Ning Fengzhi, and despite the protection around him, it remained extremely dangerous.
Lin Gong was swiftly moving within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, either saving people or managing various matters.
Wuhun Hall had not only deployed four Title Douluo but also many Soul Douluo and Soul Saint-level experts. The attacks were generally organized in a two-to-one or even three-to-one ratio, with high-profile individuals being specifically targeted.
To the south of the sect was a giant Blood Demon Bear, filled with explosive power—this was the Demon Bear Douluo.
The Demon Bear Douluo was incredibly strong, and each strike was extremely forceful, sending both people and buildings flying.
To the north of the eastern gate, Ling Yuan Douluo set the area ablaze, and countless people were trapped in the fire.
To the west, toxic red gas emitted from the air, as Poison Spike Douluo released poison in the western direction. Many disciples within this poisonous mist coughed up blood, with some of them even rapidly dissolving.
At Yang Xiong's home, Yang Lin, Sun Yu, and Yang Wei rushed out immediately, summoning their martial souls to counter the incoming enemies.
Zhao Wujie, standing by, felt somewhat helpless. Although Yang Lin and his family were quite strong, it was obvious that they were also being specifically targeted by Wuhun Hall, so he stayed close to protect them.
After years of hard training, combined with the immortal herbs Yang Xiong had provided in the past, Yang Lin had reached Level 71, achieving his life's goal and becoming an Elder of the sect.
Sun Yu, his mother, had absorbed the "Longing for the Moon" dew, causing her martial soul to undergo a second awakening. She had reached Level 59, a Soul King, and was advancing faster than Yang Lin.
In terms of strength, the Yang family was indeed very impressive. Even without Yang Xiong, they had a Soul Saint and two Soul Kings, which could rival many Soul Master families on the continent.
Moreover, all three were very loyal to the sect. Seeing the sect in peril, the entire family rushed to fight the invaders.
...
Facing attacks from all sides, Sword Douluo had the most difficult and troublesome job.
Although Wuhun Hall attacked from all directions, the main assault was focused on the sect's main gate. In addition to Snake Spear Douluo, there were also many Soul Douluo, and more than 60% of the enemies were stopped by Sword Douluo and a group of sect experts outside the main gate.
However, despite their best efforts, the walls could not withstand the attacks for long. Soon, they began to show signs of damage, and some areas even started to collapse.
After all, the number of enemy Soul Douluo and Soul Saints was vast. If they used their Martial Soul True Bodies, the walls simply could not bear the impact.
Sword Douluo was also deeply concerned about the situation inside the sect. It was clear that three Title Douluo were leading many Soul Masters inside the sect, wreaking havoc.
However, inside the sect, there were only Bone Douluo and Lin Gong, both Title Douluo. Bone Douluo was focused on defense, while Lin Gong, as a Plant-type Title Douluo, was more geared toward control.
At this moment, a huge firework erupted again, this time forming a gigantic bone dragon, which looked incredibly dazzling.
Upon seeing this, countless disciples rushed toward the central plaza of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. This was a signal for all personnel to gather in the plaza. It seemed that the sect had completed its initial preparations for the enemy's arrival, and now all their strength would be focused on resisting the invaders in the plaza.
This was the inevitable drawback of being a support-type sect. Many of the Soul Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda were too easily targeted. In emergencies, the sect's explosive power was very weak, leaving them at a significant disadvantage in such situations.
Thus, the loss rate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's Soul Masters during the early stages of the battle was extremely high.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi felt a bit relieved. Fortunately, the sect had been consolidating its strength over the past few years, and nearly 90% of the sect's disciples were stationed within the sect. This meant that only around five hundred people were outside on missions, while the sect itself had around 4,500 Soul Masters.
Although the enemy had gained some advantage through their surprise attack, they could not deliver a fatal blow to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The cooperation with the Min Clan had been particularly fortunate. Through their reconnaissance network, they had received news of the enemy's attack ten minutes in advance. This allowed Sword Douluo to rush to the sect's main gate in time, preventing the enemy from overwhelming the sect immediately.
Sword Douluo, who had been hesitating, suddenly shouted, "Everyone, withdraw from the walls immediately and gather inside the sect. I will hold off the enemy."
Sword Douluo transformed into a massive blue figure and, holding a terrifyingly large Seven Kill Sword, plunged it into the ground in front of the walls. This was his seventh soul technique: Weapon Soul True Body.
After hearing Sword Douluo's command, all the disciples quickly made their way toward the central plaza of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
It seemed that Ning Fengzhi was preparing to concentrate all the sect's power to face the enemy, either fighting to the death or attempting to break out as quickly as possible.
The disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were well-trained and retreated rapidly. The other, more disorganized disciples quickly gathered at the central plaza, preparing to fight the enemy with all their might.
Sword Douluo summoned a rain of swords, trying his best to block the enemy's attacks.
At the center of the plaza, Bone Douluo remained close to Ning Fengzhi, while Ning Fengzhi summoned the enormous Eight Treasure Glazed Pagoda to assist everyone around them. In the middle of the plaza, countless Soul Masters from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda worked tirelessly to assist the fighting disciples.
Meanwhile, Lin Gong was in a tough situation, tangled up with Ling Yuan Douluo. Although his Purple Hwang Bamboo had shown signs of evolving, it was still lacking against a fire-type Soul Master.
On the battlefield, Demon Bear Douluo and Poison Spike Douluo rampaged through the sect, killing many disciples.
The gap in the number of Soul Masters was simply too large, and many had already fallen.
In reality, Ning Fengzhi also hoped to concentrate all their forces and gamble. If they could gather all the Soul Masters in the central plaza to resist the enemy, there might still be a chance of victory. Especially since Yang Xiong was at Yunwu Mountain, where there were many powerful experts and a large number of Soul Masters. If they could quickly come to the rescue, a combined effort could deal a devastating blow to the invading forces.
As for whether Yang Xiong would come to their aid, Ning Fengzhi was quite confident. Yang Xiong had always been loyal to the sect, and the sect had nurtured him with great care. Although Yang Xiong seemed to have a few secret actions, he would never abandon the sect.
Moreover, Yang Xiong's parents and older brother were all in the sect and were extremely loyal. With Yang Xiong's character, he would never abandon his family, especially considering his close relationship with Ning Rongrong, with whom he had been together for so long.
The most important factor was that Yunwu Mountain had enough powerful experts and Soul Masters, so they could definitely turn the tide if they joined forces.
Ning Fengzhi also understood the character of the four great families of Yunwu Mountain.
The Po Clan, the Yu Clan, and the Great Dragon Snake Family were all people of strong principles and highly valued commitment, which was why Ning Fengzhi had been willing to form an alliance with them.
Just like the Min Clan, they had made great contributions to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If not for the early warning from their reconnaissance network, the situation might have been far more dangerous.
As the personnel of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect gradually gathered, Sword Douluo rode his sword through the air and could now safely engage the enemy in battle.
Meanwhile, on the way from Yunwu Mountain, Yang Xiong and the five others had pushed themselves to the limit and could already see the situation at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The sect was filled with flames, and the air was thick with the scent of blood and death. Even from several miles away, they could feel the brutality of the war.
Dugu Bo's expression was exceptionally serious: "So it's really the Wuhun Hall people. They've deployed four Title Douluo, and from the number of Soul Masters, there must be close to ten thousand of them. It looks like Wuhun Hall is truly determined."
Yang Xiong snorted, "I just wonder how many of them will escape. This time, it's likely going to be Wuhun Hall's most disastrous defeat."
