Deep into the night, Seven Treasure City was as tranquil as ever, or rather, even more so. Ning Fengzhi had already moved the city's residents to the Back Mountain.
The bright lights in the houses were merely an illusion created by Ning Fengzhi to deceive the enemy, with only Soul Masters inside.
Under the cover of darkness, an army of nearly ten thousand had quietly assembled at the foot of the mountain. This force could eliminate a hundred thousand regular troops within half an hour, as they were all Soul Masters, including several Titled Douluo.
"Are they here?" On the roof of the Seven Treasure Great Hall, Tianlin opened his eyes. His killing intent hadn't erupted yet, but the surrounding temperature was already dropping. Today, he intended to unleash a massacre.
Gulp!
At the city gate, a young man subconsciously swallowed. His name was Xiao Yi, a city gate guard of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. His Spirit, like Flander's, was an owl, granting him exceptional scouting abilities.
Having been informed of the events about to unfold, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Yi. No matter how strong the opponent, I'll face them with you," Qin Ming said, standing beside Xiao Yi.
He had advanced to become a Soul Sage and was considered a mid-to-high-level figure in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Moreover, due to Flander's connection, he had always taken extra care of Xiao Yi, who shared the same owl Spirit.
"Yes, Lord Qin Ming!" With a Soul Sage by his side, he seemed much more at ease.
Suddenly, a series of rustling sounds reached their ears. Though faint, these sounds surged like a tide from all directions.
"Enemy—attack—" Xiao Yi roared, his voice almost shrill, cutting through the silent night.
A spear flew towards him, about to pierce his chest. Qin Ming reacted swiftly, intercepting the spear and firing a massive fireball into the sky with his right hand.
"Damn it, there's an expert among the city guards! He's sent out a signal!" An elder from the Spirit Hall said angrily. "A gradual sneak attack is useless now; they'll just pick us off one by one, leading to greater losses. All troops, listen up, full assault!"
With that command, countless black figures surged forth like a tide, heading straight for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's castle. At this moment, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's castle, having received the alarm signal, shone brightly.
"Heh, just as the Sect Master said, the Spirit Hall would never abandon the Soul Hunting Operation. Once discovered, they would inevitably switch from a sneak attack to a full assault to expedite their actions," Qin Ming laughed. "Members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile, heed my command: Zhuge Divine Crossbows, fire in unison!"
On the city walls, a row of disciples had appeared unnoticed. Facing the tide of Spirit Hall vanguards, Tang San's Tang Sect Hidden Weapons came into play.
These Hidden Weapons, aided by the darkness, were even more potent. Before the Soul Masters could even see what was coming, many had already perished on the spot, some not even having time to release their Spirits, dying extremely aggrieved.
After three rounds of volley fire, hundreds of corpses littered the ground below the city.
"Damn it, what are those things? They're so lethal!" A mountain of a man suddenly appeared, roaring with fury.
Such a conspicuous target naturally wouldn't escape the notice of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's disciples, and countless crossbow bolts were fired at him.
"First Spirit Ability, Copper Wall Iron Barrier!"
The large man roared, transforming into a massive Diamond Mammoth. The Zhuge Divine Crossbows couldn't penetrate his defenses.
It turned out to be Huyan Zhen, the Sect Master of the Elephant Armor Sect! "The Elephant Armor Sect has made their move. The Hidden Weapons won't be as effective now. Retreat!" Qin Ming decisively ordered a retreat, and the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect jumped down from the city walls.
Huyan Zhen seized the opportunity to smash open the city gate, and the Spirit Hall army poured in. They wanted to pursue the Sect disciples, but they found that they couldn't catch up. The disciples were stepping with strange footwork, escaping into the Inner City at an incredible speed.
"Bastards, slaughter the city! Today, I want not a single living soul left in Seven Treasure City!" Huyan Zhen loudly ordered.
Many black-clad figures began breaking into residential homes, preparing to unleash a massacre.
A Soul King kicked open a door, revealing a man and a woman huddled together, looking terrified.
The Soul King grinned hideously. "Hmph, although you're just ordinary people, blame yourselves for living under the protection of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
He then raised the Saber in his hand, preparing to strike. At that moment, a tiny stream of light shot over, making no sound at all, but the Soul King's head had already been pierced through.
Hidden Weapon, Silent Sleeve Arrow! The woman raised her left hand, smiling as she said, "Sorry, I am proud to live in the sect. Rest in peace."
The Soul King had always thought the two people before him were ordinary people, so he had no defenses at all. He just widened his eyes and fell down unwillingly.
The same scene was happening all over the city, and the screams of countless men in black echoed throughout Seven Treasure City.
"Sir, there's a situation in the city. These civilian houses are not inhabited by ordinary people, they are all Soul Masters. We've been ambushed and suffered heavy casualties." A black-clothed man who barely escaped with his life ran to Huyan Zhen to report the situation.
"What did you say?" Huyan Zhen's eyes were about to split. Just as he was about to say something, a dignified voice sounded from behind him.
"Truly useless. Having attacked the city for so long, you haven't even taken a single life."
Huyan Zhen saw who it was and respectfully said, "Sir, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect seems to have been prepared. Whether it was the sneak attack or the first wave of strong attacks, they all failed."
"Hmph, in the face of absolute strength, what use is preparation?" The man reached out and a Serpent Spear appeared in his hand. At the same time, nine Spirit Rings, two yellow, three purple, and four black, emerged around him. He was none other than Spear Douluo She Long.
"Third Spirit Ability, Nine Shadow Cleaves!"
She Long brandished his Serpent Spear, unleashing nine sharp cleaves in one breath. He didn't plan to rush in and kill people; wouldn't it be more efficient to destroy all the houses from the outside? "Fifth Spirit Ability, Dragon Transformation, Divine Dragon Tail Sweep!"
A huge blue dragon flew out from the Inner City, its tail sweeping across, blocking all nine cleaves of the Nine Shadow Cleaves.
Two figures stood on the roof opposite She Long. The blue dragon flew back into the hand of one of them, transforming into a three-meter-long Dragon Staff.
"Dragon Duke Meng Shu, Serpent Granny Chao Tianxiang!" She Long looked at the two with apprehension.
Either of these two alone was not his match, but together, they were enough to contend with him.
"Hmph, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's affiliated clan, Dragon Serpent Family Clan Leader, Dragon Duke Meng Shu, has come to learn from Spear Douluo's expertise!" Dragon Duke raised his Dragon Staff high, not afraid of even facing a Titled Douluo.
In recent years, his level had already risen to the peak of eighty-ninth rank, and he needed some pressure to break through. Besides, Serpent Granny had already broken into the seventieth rank, and their Dragon Serpent Combination Attack was even stronger than before.
