Chapter 261: Big Fish Takes The Bait
“Cut the crap, let’s see the real deal with our skills!”
That Soul Douluo didn’t waste words either, directly launching an offensive straight at Meng Shu.
Meanwhile, Meng Shu lightly swung the Dragon Head Cane in his hand, revealing the eight soul rings on his body. A powerful power exploded, directly shocking the opponent back.
“Sainas, you’ve really been living more and more backwards! Is this all you’ve got?”
Dragon Duke Meng Shu said disdainfully.
Bang…
Suddenly, someone released some kind of signal, firing it toward the outside of the valley.
Meng Shu was greatly shocked. “You have accomplices?”
This was Spirit Hall’s signal lamp. Clearly, he had gone to call for reinforcements.
Only to see the signal lamp activate, and hundreds of people immediately surged out above the valley, all dressed in uniform black clothes.
“Meng Shu, I advise you to quickly take the Snake Dowager and leave this place.
We absolutely won’t harm your granddaughter. If you don’t leave now, you won’t be able to later.
I’m telling you solemnly, I’m just an errand runner. The real show is still to come!”
Sainas said with a cold smile.
A Soul Douluo was just an errand runner—what kind of existence was the real backup? A Titled Douluo?
Heavens! What kind of mountain bandits were these? Even a Titled Douluo had appeared. This wasn’t some great calamity; it was a deliberate ambush.
“Sainas, you’ve really been living more and more backwards. Can’t you even handle something this simple?”
A yin-soft voice came from afar. Accompanying the sound, a figure had already quietly appeared before the crowd.
As soon as this person appeared, Dragon Duke’s expression changed drastically, and the Shrek crowd also gradually fell silent.
From the aura on his body, it could be judged that this was a… Titled Douluo.
“Hehe, the big fish has finally entered the net!”
At this time, in a corner above the valley, Ling Mo was watching the entire battlefield…
Thousands of Ghost Gate disciples behind him were already poised and ready, just waiting for these big fish to enter the net one after another.
The first wave of offensive had only sent a thousand people, but they had all been dealt with by the Imperial Knights and the soul masters from various academies.
The remaining few thousand had been lurking nearby without moving. These people were the real killing move.
Every one’s strength was above Soul King level, fundamentally incomparable to those before.
“Sect Master, when do we go in?”
Behind him, the Ghost Gate disciples were already impatient to charge.
They had been ambushing here for many days and had long been unable to hold back.
After witnessing this bloody battle, their hearts were immensely shocked, and everyone wanted to enter the battlefield to harvest.
“No rush. Wait until all the big fish and small fish are in the net…”
Ling Mo said coldly.
He had been observing the battle. Looking down from above the canyon, the fighting up front was the most intense, with Dugu Bo and Chen Xin as the main force, blocking most of the offensive.
Simultaneously besieged by two Titled Douluo, plus dozens of Soul Sage level and above experts ganging up, the two were under immense pressure.
But fortunately, with Ning Fengzhi’s support, not only did they not fall into a disadvantage, they gradually gained the upper hand.
Looking at the middle, Heaven Water Academy’s formation hadn’t broken yet. Relying on their powerful team coordination ability, plus the hidden weapons Ling Mo had given them, they could fully hold out.
Shui Bing’er and Xue Wu both had the Phoenix Cloud Colorful Clothes and Peacock Plume that Ling Mo gave them, so dealing with these people was no problem at all.
Moreover… most of the main forces were concentrated on the Imperial Knight Regiment up front and Shrek Academy side, so they hadn’t faced much of a siege.
Compared to them, the most relaxed were Heaven Dou Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, and Divine Wind Academy.
Because when the road was blocked earlier, they had been in one passage, so their numbers were very large and they could completely defeat those black-clothed people.
Ghost Gate disciples were already poised and ready, but the timing hadn’t come yet. This time, Ling Mo wanted to give them a complete wipeout.
His gaze swept toward the valley, discovering that the black-clothed people who appeared later had successively entered the battlefield. Ling Mo smiled.
“The time has come! Charge…”
With a wave of his hand, thousands of disciples behind him directly charged out, heading straight for the valleys where the various academies were located.
Except for Shrek Academy, almost every valley received several hundred in support.
Facing these Ghost Gate disciples who suddenly burst in, everyone was dumbfounded. The most intense reaction was definitely from Spirit Hall’s people.
“Where did these people come from?”
“No idea. Could they be ours?”
“No, these aren’t our people!”
No sooner had the words fallen than a puppet silently appeared beside him. Suddenly… the puppet’s eyes emitted a bright light.
After that, the man stiffly fell to the ground, eyes wide open, dying without knowing how he had died.
Not only were Spirit Hall’s people dumbfounded, everyone in the valley was dumbfounded.
“Don’t daze, organize a counterattack…”
The moment the Ghost Gate disciples appeared, Shui Bing’er, who knew the truth, smiled on her face and directed Heaven Water Academy’s students to start counterattacking.
With the Ghost Gate disciples joining, it alleviated their pressure. With a crushing advantage, they overwhelmingly swept through, killing all the black-clothed people who appeared in the valley clean.
“Sister Bing’er, who exactly are these people? Why don’t they use martial souls!”
Someone was puzzled. They only saw them controlling puppets in their hands, without using martial souls. In just a few minutes, the several hundred black-clothed people in that valley were all dead.
Besides Heaven Water Academy side, similar things were happening elsewhere. Thousands of Heavenly Machine Pavilion Hidden Blade Valley disciples moved out simultaneously, sweeping the battlefield like an autumn wind, rapidly cleaning up and shocking everyone.
Even Elephant Armor Sect people were discovered in the crowd. When Spirit Hall’s people saw them, they cursed nonstop.
Everyone knew Elephant Armor Sect had submitted to Spirit Hall, but… the scene before their eyes was completely the opposite. Those Elephant Armor Sect disciples were actually leading the ambush on Spirit Hall’s people.
“King Yama’s Life Claim, Little Ghost Soul Snatching! Kill for me…”
The cold voice echoed through the valley. The true net-closing began. Except for Shrek Academy and the team up front, almost all the black-clothed people in the canyons were completely eradicated.
After dealing with these people, they slowly moved to support both sides.
Looking at Shrek Academy side, the person who appeared was dressed in white, but his voice was extremely yin-cold. He slowly descended from the air, coldly watching Meng Shu.
“So it’s old friends. Long time no see, Peerless Dragon Snake.
You lot have quite the guts, daring to meddle in our affairs and forcing me to show up.”
“You actually came too.”
Dragon Duke’s expression changed drastically, saying with a face full of shock.
He hadn’t expected the opponent to really deploy a Titled Douluo. What did that mean?
It meant they intended to ambush and kill them all here. Otherwise, why deploy so many people?
This was probably Spirit Hall’s main force, right? Or rather, this was part of it, but this part was enough to take their lives.
“Now that I’ve shown up, why aren’t you scraming yet? You should understand how much importance we place on this matter.”
Moon Pass said coldly, his eyes filled with killing intent.
“Leave? Hehe, Chrysanthemum Pass, do you really think this old man is a fool? You’ve set up such a huge formation today—do you think we’d be allowed to leave safely?”
Meng Shu didn’t leave, because he knew that to survive and get out, their only chance was to stick together.
Spirit Hall had set up this kind of formation today precisely to ambush and kill them here. How could they possibly let them leave?
