Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Chapter 456 Boil the Frog in Warm Water

Listening to the words of White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, Xuanji Douluo's chest rose and fell violently. How could he not understand the meaning of what Dai Hao said? White Tiger Duke wanted to use his death to fight for a glimmer of hope for them, but how could he abandon Dai Hao, who he had watched grow up? Although White Tiger Duke Dai Hao's method was their only way to survive.

"Uncle Xuanji, we must act now while we still have some soul power. It's settled. I'm relieved to leave the Key to you."

Duke White Tiger acted swiftly and decisively. After making a plan, he immediately issued the order regardless of whether Xuanji Douluo agreed or not.

As he spoke, he had already released the soundproof barrier he had created, and said in a deep voice to Dai Yuheng beside him: "Follow your Grandpa Xuanji, we will break out in two groups. After the breakout, everything will be subject to your Grandpa Xuanji's instructions. Do you understand?"

Dai Yaoheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Father, what about you?"

Dai Hao said coldly: "I will break out from another direction. Only by breaking out in different directions can we have more chances to break out. Go ahead, Uncle Xuanji, I'm counting on you."

Seeing the determination in Dai Hao's deep eyes, Xuanji Douluo sighed, pulled Dai Yuheng over, turned around and left.

Yes, they have no time. It is best to obey Dai Hao's orders. Just as Dai Hao said, in war, it is best not to act on emotion. Having lived for more than a hundred years and experienced countless wars of varying sizes, how could Xuan Ji Douluo not understand this truth? Even though his heart was broken, he still obeyed Dai Hao's orders and prepared to break out from the southeast with the First Soul Master Corps and Dai Yueheng to prevent Dai Hao's sacrifice in vain.

Every soul guide of the two soul guide groups of the Sun-Moon Empire carries a bottle of the same level as himself, and at least two, but they have no such configuration at all. Among the three kingdoms originally belonging to the Douluo Continent, the Star Luo Empire is the oldest, so it pays the least attention to the development of soul guides. There are too many traditional soul master sects in the Star Luo Empire that reject soul guides. Although Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu want to promote soul guides vigorously, they have been repeatedly obstructed and finally have to compromise.

It was not until recent years that the development of soul guides became more and more rapid, and the domestic resistance in the Xingluo Empire gradually decreased. The Xingluo Empire began to vigorously develop soul guides, and even spent huge sums of money to entrust the Tang Sect to build a large number of Zhuge Divine Crossbows. However, the Tang Sect had few people and could not supply them at all. What's more, it was not only the Xingluo Empire that saw the potential of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. Therefore, although the Xijiang side had deployed some Zhuge Divine Crossbows, the number was not large.

What made them even more uncomfortable was that the Zhuge Divine Crossbows on the Western Frontier were all destroyed by the surprise attack of the Sun and Moon Empire before they could even come into play. Only some of the Zhuge Divine Crossbows on the military camp played a certain role.

Watching Xuanji Douluo taking Dai Yueheng away, a hint of tenderness gradually appeared on the cold and resolute face of the White Tiger Duke. Although Dai Yueheng was a little arrogant, he has been polished by him over the years and has improved a lot. He is even more talented than him in cultivation talent. And Dai Huabin is the most talented descendant of their White Tiger Duke, but his character still needs to be polished. He is busy with affairs and has no time to teach him. It is because Dai Yueheng follows him that he has the opportunity to polish Dai Yueheng's mind and character. He originally wanted to wait until Dai Huabin graduated from Shrek and then take him with him to teach, but now it seems that there is no chance. However, with the brothers Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin in the future, the White Tiger Duke's lineage will not be cut off. It's just that I don't know what will happen to the Xingluo Empire in the end.

With a sigh, Dai Hao shook his head and raised his head again. The future of the Xingluo Empire was no longer something he could consider. He had already decided to fight and die in the Mingdou Mountains with the White Tiger Guards. Only in this way could the First Soul Master Corps and Dai Yuheng have a chance of survival. War was cruel, and as a commander, he had to make a choice, and he chose to give his life to the First Soul Master Corps and Dai Yuheng.

He and the White Tiger Guards guarded the Mingdou Mountains for their entire lives, and died here in battle, which can be regarded as a fulfillment of their loyalty to the empire.

"White Tiger subordinates, listen to my orders." Dai Hao roared.

As soon as the First Soul Master Corps withdraws, the protective shield on their side will immediately disappear. At that time, although the personal combat power of the White Tiger Guards can even be comparable to that of the first and second ring soul masters, under the attack of so many soul guides in the sky, it will not take long before they will be turned into corpses.

With his lips pursed tightly, Dai Hao looked guiltily at these old brothers who had been with him through thick and thin for many years, and closed his eyes in pain. In this short half-day war, only the thousand or so of his most elite White Tiger Guards were left in front of him. He felt sorry for these old brothers, and he, as an incompetent commander.

The leaders of the White Tiger Guards quickly gathered in front of Dai Hao, waiting for his orders. These leaders of the White Tiger Guards were all soul masters, and each of them had a strong cultivation base.

Dai Hao said in a deep voice: "Wait a moment, we need to cover the evacuation of the First Soul Master Corps, we will charge to the north."

The leading commander said in a deep voice: "Marshal, do you want to make a feint to the east and attack in the west?"

"Yeah." Dai Hao nodded.

All the commanders knelt on one knee almost at the same time, "Marshal, please evacuate with the First Soul Master Corps." As veterans who have followed Dai Hao for many years, they all knew Dai Hao very well. Looking at the determination in Dai Hao's eyes, they knew that Dai Hao wanted to die with them.

Dai Hao smiled slightly and raised his hands. An invisible force lifted up all the loyal generals. "Do you think that if I were among those who broke through, would the people of the Sun Moon Empire let me go? Only if I serve as bait can more people escape. As the commander of the Northwest Army, we, the White Tiger Clan, cannot be cowardly at this time. Are you willing to live and die with me?"

"Marshal." The generals cried out in grief. They were not afraid of death and were willing to die for the Duke of White Tiger. However, they did not want to watch the Duke die with them!

"Time is running out. This is an order. You should understand that no one can change my decision. Go get ready and wait for my order. Follow me and charge! Go!"

The generals turned away with tears in their eyes under Dai Hao's cold gaze. Looking at their backs, Dai Hao finally shed tears. He looked up at the sky, watching the soul-guiding lights falling from the sky, and muttered to himself, "If there is a next life, I will still be your brothers. I'm sorry, brothers, I can't protect you."

With his fists clenched and veins bulging on his arms, the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao's aura began to rise at an alarming rate. Nine spirit rings rose from under his feet, and the light and shadow of the white tiger flickered. Even the strong men like Star Douluo Ye Yulin in the sky could clearly feel the wild aura.

Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin said coldly: "Duke White Tiger is going to fight to the death, be prepared to attack with all your strength."

As he spoke, a bright light shone from his body, and a large amount of soul power was injected into the Sun and Moon Divine Needle. He had only one goal, which was to kill Dai Hao.

As long as the Duke of White Tiger dies, all the defenses of the Star Luo Empire in the west will be useless. Of course, in his opinion, even if the Duke of White Tiger is there, he cannot affect the overall situation. Be it the Star Luo Empire, the Sky Soul Empire, or the Douluo Empire, in his opinion, they are all people who have been eliminated by the times and have been sitting in a well and looking at the world. This world already belongs to soul guides. Although the three kingdoms that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent have awakened in recent years, they still awakened too late after all.

Ji Lin silently looked at the battlefield in front of him. His spiritual detection had already heard the plan of the Duke of White Tiger. It can only be said that the plan is good, but it is very difficult to implement. With the Duke of White Tiger's current half-crippled state, plus more than a thousand White Tiger guards, can they really break out and lead away Star Douluo Ye Yulin and others?
Ji Lin saw clearly that Ye Yulin and others in the sky did not use their full strength. They were just trying to prevent Duke Baihu and others from being destroyed. They were just slowly boiling the frog in warm water.

Once Duke White Tiger and the First Soul Master Corps fall into decline, they will face an even stronger blow.

It was a pity that he brought Huo Yuhao to Yuming City this time but did not bring Chi Yuan. With his current strength, he did not need Chi Yuan to protect him in secret all the time.

With Ji Lin's current strength, he can at most hold back one Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin, and he won't be able to hold on for long. You know, although Starry Sky Douluo is only a level 94 Titled Douluo, the same level as Xuanji Douluo, but in reality, Xuanji Douluo will undoubtedly lose if they fight. Even if Xuan Zi is here and fights with Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin, if the distance between the two sides is widened, Xuan Zi may be kite-killed by Starry Sky Douluo.

Of course, Xuan Zi would definitely win in close combat, but this was enough to show how terrifying Star Sky Douluo Ye Yulin was.

Moreover, in addition to Starry Sky Douluo, there are other ninth-level soul masters in the Sun-Moon Empire. Ji Lin doesn't dare to be so arrogant as to provoke several ninth-level soul masters with his cultivation as a seven-ringed soul saint, including Starry Sky Douluo, a ninth-level soul master who is no less powerful than a Super Douluo.

Once stuck, even Ji Lin would have a hard time escaping, and if he were surrounded by a group of soul guides, he would also be in danger of dying.

However, there is no problem in secretly helping Duke White Tiger.

On the battlefield, as the nerves of both sides were tense and the battle was about to come to an end, the clouds in the sky rolled and gradually turned red, and a scorching breath filled the entire place.

A hundred-meter-long flaming sword dropped from the sky, smashing into the two major soul guide groups of the Sun-Moon Empire in the air with devastating power. The moment the giant sword appeared, the air was ignited, and balls of fire fell from the sky like a meteor shower, accompanied by the flaming sword, and attacked the two major soul guide groups of the Sun-Moon Empire.
