Chapter 308: Melee Begins
A strong wind howled past, and under everyone’s gaze, more and more people appeared in front of the Pope’s Palace.
Their unified attire, with green shirts matched with white clothes, was quite elegant and beautiful.
“All disciples from Heavenly Machine Pavilion’s departments are assembled, awaiting Sect Leader’s orders…”
“Over two thousand people from Hidden Blade Valley are all assembled, awaiting Sect Leader’s orders…”
“All departments of Yanluo Hall are assembled, awaiting Sect Leader’s orders…”
Amidst one passionate shout after another, a dense crowd of people appeared on the square in front of the Pope’s Palace.
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
“How did these people sneak in?” Bibi Dong’s gaze filled with killing intent turned toward Moon Pass and Ghostly beside her.
Ridiculous, Spirit City, which prided itself on strict order and tight guards, had unknowingly let in so many Ghost Gate people.
“Your Majesty, we had no idea at all…”
Moon Pass and Ghostly were also stunned; how did these Ghost Gate people evade layer after layer of checks to enter Spirit City? It was truly unbelievable.
This crowd of over ten thousand was not even all of them; dense crowds were rushing up the mountain, and in an instant, the whole scene was in chaos.
“Elephant Armor Sect, all members assembled! Awaiting Sect Leader’s orders…”
Amidst a bold voice, Hu Yanzhen made a dazzling entrance, drawing everyone’s attention.
“Hu Yanzhen!!!”
“What’s going on? When did Elephant Armor Sect submit to Ghost Gate?”
“Oh my god! Can someone tell me what exactly happened?”
The moment Hu Yanzhen appeared, no one could stay calm.
It could only be said that Ghost Gate’s means were truly astonishing; not only did they conjure so many people out of thin air to aid them, but even one of the Lower Four Sects, Elephant Armor Sect, was theirs.
This world had become too crazy.
“Hu Yanzhen! This old man actually dares to betray us…”
The moment Hu Yanzhen appeared, Moon Pass’s face turned extremely ugly.
All along, he had been in charge of interactions with various sects in the Heaven Dou Empire area, and among them… Elephant Armor Sect had already superficially agreed to join Spirit Hall under his persuasion and pressure.
Now… he appeared in Ghost Gate’s lineup; this kind of betrayal was outrageous.
“Chrysanthemum Douluo Elder! It seems your ability to handle affairs needs scrutiny…”
Bibi Dong had already developed killing intent, glaring coldly at Moon Pass.
“Your Majesty the Pope, I…” Before he could explain, Bibi Dong interrupted with a shout, “Shut up! I’ll deal with you later…”
“Your Excellency the Pope, I wonder if now, my Ghost Gate meets your standards?”
Seeing the over ten thousand people in full array, Ling Mo smiled from the heart.
These disciples were no worse than those so-called elites of Spirit Hall.
So far, everyone who was supposed to appear had appeared, except for those over a thousand Yin Soldiers.
“Sect Leader Ling, what a clever calculation! Over ten thousand people descending upon my Spirit City out of nowhere—could it be… you want to settle things with us in a decisive battle?”
Bibi Dong said coldly.
“I wouldn’t dare call it a decisive battle! It’s just that I’m a rather timid person; wherever I go, I like to bring a group of bodyguards to avoid being targeted by some ill-intentioned people.
Therefore, before setting off for Spirit City, I secretly arranged for all these people to be inserted in advance.
As everyone knows, I’m the Sect Master of Ghost Gate; having over ten thousand bodyguards is perfectly reasonable, right? It fits my status and position, doesn’t it?”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
“Damn, too pretentious! Perfectly reasonable? Who the hell brings over ten thousand bodyguards when going out…”
“Yeah! Way too much; the sect master of Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School only brought one Titled Douluo, but he not only brings one Titled Douluo, he also carries over ten thousand bodyguards with him…”
The atmosphere at the scene gradually solidified, and Bibi Dong’s killing intent grew increasingly intense.
“Attack!”
In the end, she could no longer hold back and struck directly…
“Moon Pass, Ghostly, you two tie down Dugu Bo; I’ll deal with him…”
The battle was about to erupt, under the gaze of ten thousand eyes,
Nine soul rings emerged on Bibi Dong’s body, the most striking being the last one—an astonishing hundred thousand year soul ring.
When she saw that hundred thousand year soul ring, Xiao Wu’s emotions clearly fluctuated; she wanted to rush forward but was stopped by Tang San.
“That’s Mommy’s soul ring!” Xiao Wu cried out in pain, her voice breaking.
“What?”
Her helpless and miserable cry moved the Shrek crowd, and they glared angrily at Bibi Dong.
“Chrysanthemum, little ghost! I’ve waited many years for this—come on… Today, we’ll settle both new and old grudges together…”
Finally able to act, Dugu Bo had been holding back for too long; no one could stop him as he charged straight at Chrysanthemum, Moon Pass, and Ghostly.
Today, he was determined to resolve the past grudge.
Relying on his puppet technique combined with his martial soul, Dugu Bo held his own against two opponents without falling behind.
“This Dugu Bo! Isn’t he known as the weakest in one-on-one duels? Why is he so fierce…”
Everyone was dumbfounded; all along, Dugu Bo had the title of weakest in one-on-one duels in the Soul Master World, but now it seemed he was even fiercer than Tang Hao… Could it be a rumor?
On that side, Ghost Gate disciples had already clashed head-on with Spirit Hall’s people; combining hidden weapons and puppets, they moved freely through the chaos with ease.
As for Ling Mo’s side, the situation was very unfavorable.
Because… he had been targeted by Bibi Dong!
“Kid, your end is here! I want to see who can save you now…”
Killing intent surged; the instant Bibi Dong activated her martial soul, she charged over.
Upon reaching the area where Ling Mo was, she suddenly discovered a barrier ahead; after entering it, her soul power was greatly restricted.
Reduced to level 69—this astonishing suppression ability was simply unheard of.
Only then did she suddenly realize what Moon Pass and Ghostly had told her upon their return last time: Ling Mo had a very miraculous domain that could restrict a person’s soul power level.
She hadn’t believed it before, thinking it was an excuse Moon Pass and Ghostly made to shirk responsibility!
Now, experiencing it firsthand, she was completely convinced.
“You really think you can take me down?”
As she got closer and closer, Bibi Dong saw Ling Mo’s figure darkening, with a confident smile on his face that seemed off.
“Not good!”
Just as she reacted, the Ling Mo on the spot suddenly exploded; the metal-structured machinery whirred at high speed, shooting out countless poison needles.
Fortunately, Bibi Dong’s defense was extremely strong; even with Ling Mo’s soul power level fully unleashing the puppet, he couldn’t injure her.
“Mere parlor tricks! Is this all you’ve got?”
Casually knocking down the incoming steel needles, Bibi Dong sneered.
Their soul power gap was too great; no matter how hard Ling Mo tried, he couldn’t hurt her.
“Haha, don’t worry! If I only had these tricks, how could I possibly be the Sect Master of Ghost Gate.
Don’t worry! I have plenty of moves; you’ll get to experience them all soon enough, I guarantee you’ll be hooked…”
Ling Mo’s sly laugh came from not far away; Bibi Dong looked over in confusion, only to see him soaring into the air, drawing thunder from ten thousand feet above.
