Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Chapter 443 Save people and save them to the end

In Risheng City, the moat outside the south city exploded and the river water was rapidly flowing back.

Ji Lin rushed out of the water prison with the wings of ice flapping behind him. He floated in the air with his hands open. Two white lights bombarded the two sides of the backflowing river water one after another. Then, under the terrifying low temperature of the extreme ice, the river water rushing on both sides was instantly frozen into ice, which was extremely spectacular.

At the same time, Ji Lin, who was flying in the air, also saw the chaos in the Nancheng Soul Instructor Corps' position in the distance. Everything went according to the plan, and Wang Qiuer and his team successfully delayed the Nancheng Soul Instructor Corps.

However, even so, a team of about fifty soul guides from the South City Soul Guide Corps broke away from the Soul Guide Corps and was heading towards the moat. When they saw Ji Lin flying into the sky, they immediately launched an attack.

A blinding red light was already blasting towards him like a meteor chasing the moon.

A faint smile appeared on Ji Lin's lips. The Soul Master Corps' position was in chaos, but this Soul Master team had to come here to support. It was really a dilemma. No matter whether they went back to quell the chaos or to support the moat, a Soul Master team would be powerless to save the situation.

Seeing that the high-explosive bomb, which was at least at the level of a sixth-level soul guide, was right in front of him, circles of blazing flames immediately emerged around Ji Lin's body. These flames were different from ordinary flames. They were almost white-hot in color, indicating that their temperature had reached an extremely high level.

The high-explosive bomb exploded the moment it approached Ji Lin, and the strong shock wave and flying metal fragments spread in all directions. However, when these fragments touched the flame barrier around Ji Lin, they quickly melted into liquid as if encountering a furnace, dripping to the ground, making a hissing sound, and then evaporated into wisps of white smoke.

At this moment, Ji Lin, floating in the air with flames all around him, looked like the god of fire.

"It's rude not to reciprocate. It's my turn!"

Ji Lin floated in the air, looking down at the fifty soul masters gathered below. They were aggressive and clearly a well-trained team. However, Ji Lin's eyes were filled with indifference. He held the Holy Judgement of Heavenly Fire in his hand and slowly raised it.

Following Ji Lin's will, the sword of the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire began to glow, and a powerful high-temperature energy gathered in it. He swung his arm violently, and the tip of the sword drew a perfect arc. Then, a hundred-meter-long red flame sword energy gushed out from the tip of the sword, roaring like a giant dragon and rushing towards the soul guide team below.

"Quick, deploy defense." The leader of the soul engineer team is one of the deputy leaders of this soul engineer corps. He is a seventh-level soul engineer and the only high-level combat force that was missed by Wang Qiuer and the others.

But this is no longer important. A seventh-level soul master cannot cause any big waves.

Ji Lin's sword energy contained destructive power, and the space it passed through seemed to be distorted due to the high temperature. The soul guides below felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, and they all used their own defensive soul guides to try to resist this terrifying attack.

However, Ji Lin's flaming sword energy was too powerful, and even with the combined strength of fifty soul guides, it was difficult to completely resist it. The sword energy hit the soul guide shield, causing a violent explosion, flames splashing, heat waves rolling, and dust flying for a while, obscuring the vision.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the soul masters who had been lined up neatly were in a mess. Some were seriously injured, while others survived because they dodged in time. They looked at Ji Lin with fear and awe in their eyes. This man almost destroyed their entire team with just one blow.

Ji Lin stood in mid-air, looking down at the miserable team of soul guides below. The Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire in his hand still emitted a scorching light, like a god.

And during this brief confrontation, figures rushed out from the exit of the water prison that was blasted open by Ji Lin on the bank of the moat.

When dozens of imprisoned soul masters rushed across the frozen and extremely hard moat bed and out of the moat, less than a hundred meters away from them were the soul masters who were defeated by Ji Lin.

Because they were unaware of the situation in the outside world, the soul masters who rushed out of the water prison first were all pioneers, and most of them had a cultivation level of six rings or above.

In other words, the first wave that rushed out from the moat were all powerful soul masters with cultivation levels above six rings and above Soul Emperor level.

As soon as they rushed out of the moat, they increased their speed to the extreme and rushed towards the soul masters on the opposite side like hungry wolves.

The soul masters on the opposite side reacted instantly, and rays of soul light shot out rapidly.

If both sides have formed a battle formation and there is enough buffer distance, even if the soul masters on the hostages' side are of high quality, they may not be able to gain an advantage.

Because the soul guides of the Sun Moon Empire's soul guide groups have worked together for too long, their various soul guides work together and complement each other, and can release combat power far greater than the sum of their individual combat power. However, now this rescue team of 50 soul guides was first defeated by Ji Lin, and the leading seventh-level soul guide was the first to be seriously injured and unable to command. Without unified command and sufficient safety distance, this soul guide team fell into a dilemma.

Without any preparation and facing the soul masters' charge at close range, these soul masters were so panicked that they were unable to organize an effective counterattack. What's more, the soul masters they were facing were all the best of the same level in all the major sects and academies in the world today. They were truly the elite among the elites.

The hostages charging in the front included four eight-ring Soul Douluos, twelve seven-ring Soul Saints, and more than twenty Soul Emperors.

Each of them is an elite among elites, and at this moment they are like tigers released from cages, with high fighting spirit. They rushed to the front of the soul guide team with almost no losses. The outcome that follows can be imagined.

Ji Lin no longer participated in the battle below and allowed the hostages to do whatever they wanted.

When all fifty soul masters were wiped out, all the hostages rushed out of the water prison. At this time, clusters of dazzling fireworks bloomed in the sky of Risheng City.

That was not in Ji Lin's plan. It was obviously a signal for help released by the three Zhongli brothers who had escaped.

Ji Lin frowned, the three Zhongli brothers were not scary, and even the two Titled Douluo-level evil soul masters were not scary. With their current combat power, they could easily deal with them. But if the Sun Moon Empire sent a large number of reinforcements tomorrow, and even brought ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shells, it would be a bit troublesome. That was the power of a full-strength attack from an Extreme Douluo, and even Chi Yuan could not ignore it.

It would be a bit troublesome if he was blocked by those reinforcements. He didn't want to work so hard for so long and end up failing. That was not what he wanted.

After all, the five most powerful soul guide groups in the Sun-Moon Empire are all equipped with flying soul guides. With the help of flying soul guides, it doesn’t take long to get from Mingdu to Risheng City.

There was no time to delay any longer. Without giving the hostages who had just taken a breath a chance to rest, Ji Lin gave the order, "Rush out to the south."

The taste of freedom became the biggest catalyst to motivate the hostages. Everyone was full of energy and burst out at their strongest state, rushing towards the south.

They didn't realize that they had subconsciously followed Ji Lin's orders without any hesitation. They obeyed Ji Lin subconsciously. Not only did Ji Lin save them after they had been tortured for months, but Ji Lin also conquered them with just a few simple moves, including the four Soul Douluos. Although their cultivation was higher than Ji Lin's, they obeyed Ji Lin's orders unconditionally.

Obeying the strong is the most basic rule in this world of the survival of the fittest. They have placed Ji Lin in a position stronger than them. In this tense atmosphere, they gave up thinking, left everything to Ji Lin, and obeyed Ji Lin's instructions.

At this moment, Ji Lin frowned. His spiritual detection found that from the direction of the north city, a large amount of powerful aura was rapidly approaching Risheng City.

"The reinforcements from Mingdu have arrived? How come it's so fast? It's only been a few minutes? What went wrong?"

Ji Lin rubbed his eyebrows and muttered to himself.

Mingdu, the capital of the Sun-Moon Empire, is located to the north of Risheng City. If there are reinforcements, they must be coming from the north. However, according to Ji Lin and his team's calculations, it would take at least half an hour for the reinforcements to arrive after discovering the situation in Risheng City, receiving orders, organizing the army, and setting off. In this amount of time, he has enough time to escape safely with the hostages.

However, it had only been a few minutes since they started, right? The speed at which the reinforcements from Mingdu arrived was far beyond his expectations, making the situation, which had gradually become clear, become hazy again.

Ji Lin sent a message to the hostages below, asking them to meet up with Wang Qiuer and others first and break out from the south together.

He turned around and headed towards Risheng City. Feng Ling, whom they rescued, was still in Risheng City. They would start the action tonight, so of course they couldn't bring Feng Ling, a burden, with them, so they left him alone in the hotel. Now that the reinforcements from the Sun Moon Empire had arrived, Risheng City was about to become a dangerous place. Ji Lin had to rescue Feng Ling. Since he had already rescued him, and the other party had a strong desire to survive and still wanted to live even in that situation, Ji Lin certainly couldn't just give up on him.

We should save the people to the end. It would be irresponsible to just leave them in Risheng City.

There were a total of 300 soul masters stationed outside the South City. Fifty of them were killed by Ji Lin and his men. With the addition of Wang Qiuer and others messing around, the situation has now become a mess. Facing the attack of hundreds of powerful soul masters, they will not be able to hold out for long. Wang Qiuer and his men will be able to take the hostages and break out soon.

If Ji Lin was a little more ruthless, he would have broken through the southern line with the hostages and fled far away instead of returning to Risheng City to rescue a useless person who was of little importance to him.
