Chapter 242: Ambush
"As you command!"
The Agility Clan's messenger flashed out, transforming into a dark phantom and commanding the centurions of the White Tiger Legion.
Meanwhile, under Yue Guan's leadership, the Spirit Hall's Spirit Masters finally reached the border valley of the Heaven Dou Empire.
After three days and three nights of travel, Yue Guan finally breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled, "Great! We've finally reached the border valley! Beyond this valley lies the territory of Spirit City. We'll be safe then! Old Ghost, let's hurry. With our speed, we should reach Spirit City by noon tomorrow at the latest."
"Not bad!" Gui Mei replied in a hoarse, cold voice. Then, looking behind him, his gaze seemingly piercing space, he watched Dai Weis and the White Tiger Legion catch up.
"We need to leave here quickly. Dai Weis dares to catch up. He'll definitely fight us." Gui Mei's mind was in a state of confusion, trying to analyze Dai Weis's thoughts and intentions.
"If I'm not mistaken, the reason Dai Weis has kept his distance from us these past few days is to prevent us from resting and recovering our spirit power. Now we are only one section away from Spirit City. I expect Dai Weis will definitely find a way to chase us with all his strength, in an attempt to annihilate us in one fell swoop!"
"What the Old Ghost said makes sense." Yue Guan also nodded slightly, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a sneer of disdain.
"Huh, in that case, as long as we reach Spirit City first, Dai Weis will not dare to attack us. Let's go quickly!"
After that, Yue Guan raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, let's leave here quickly. We are only one section away from going home. Then you can not only rest in peace, but His Holiness the Pope will also reward you for your merits! But we have to hurry back. If we are fast, we can go home tomorrow morning!"
Hearing the word "go home," the Spirit Masters present had red and swollen eyes instantly. They were also human beings. They had come here happily to avenge their compatriots and make achievements. However, they did not expect to encounter setbacks. More than 5,000 of the over 10,000 Spirit Masters were directly killed, and the survivors had experienced life-and-death struggles.
Seeing their companions die before their eyes, they missed home even more, so their eyes were filled with tears!
Yue Guan's words undoubtedly inspired the last fighting spirit of this group of Spirit Masters. For a moment, more than 4,000 Spirit Masters seemed to have forgotten the pain and fatigue, gathering their strength to cross the valley and head toward Spirit City. It was as if they had seen the scene of family reunion.
"Hehe..."
Yue Guan, who was walking in the front, looked at the valleys on both sides, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and smile slightly.
Seeing this, the Demon Bear Douluo on the side was very puzzled and said, "Elder Yue, why are you laughing?"
"Hahaha! I'm laughing at Dai Pojun Wumou and Dai Weis Shaozhi!"
After saying this, Yue Guan pointed to the valley and said with a smile, "This valley is long and narrow, making it a perfect place to set an ambush. If I were Dai Pojun, I would definitely divide my forces and set up an ambush here.
Whether we return victorious or defeated, they can ambush us as we pass through here.
If we are in a stalemate with the Clear Sky Sect, they can also set up an ambush here and ambush the reinforcements from Spirit City.
Such a wonderful valley, and they didn't even set an ambush. It shows how incompetent they are!"
Demon Bear Douluo glanced at the pitch-black valleys on both sides, and suddenly a feeling of being on the edge of an abyss in the middle of the night arose in his heart. He felt extremely frightened and terrified.
"Fortunately, they didn't set an ambush, otherwise we..."
Bang—
In an instant, there was a whoosh, and a bunch of fireworks shot up into the sky. A burst of explosions followed in the air, causing Yue Guan and the others to feel a little panic!
Could it be that...
In an instant, Lin Qiuyang raised his spirit power and shouted, "Soldiers, be appointed as marquises and generals, and make achievements. At this moment, fire! Don't let these traitors get away!"
Bang bang bang!
Just as Lin Qiuyang's voice fell, a series of close artillery sounds suddenly echoed, like fireworks exploding, and countless shells whizzed toward the Spirit Master troops like a storm.
"Ahhh!"
"Retreat! Ambush!"
"Elder Demon Bear, save me!"
These demoralized Spirit Masters were completely unprepared. Caught completely off guard by the artillery fire, they collapsed to the ground, screaming in agony.
Less than a minute had passed since Lin Qiuyang gave the order to fire, and hundreds of Spirit Masters had been frightened to death. Some, already severely wounded, were struck by the blasting shells, dying instantly, their bodies icy and cold.
"Damn it! I didn't expect Dai Pojun and Dai Weis to be so cunning and scheming, setting an ambush here!"
Yue Guan cursed inwardly, having just mocked the father and son for their lack of wisdom.
"Old Ghost, what should we do now?"
"Do you even need to ask?"
Gui Mei shouted, unleashing his fifth Spirit Ability. Countless black hands rose from the ground, looming over the crowd, shielding them from the torrential fire.
However, the hail of bullets was too intense, and Gui Mei's dark hand alone couldn't hold out for long.
"Dai Weis's troops are chasing us. We can only charge forward and return to Spirit City as quickly as possible."
"That's the only way. Brothers, let's run! Elder Ghost and I will cover you! Eighth Spirit Skill: Flowing Light!"
Swish—
Yue Guan unleashed a strange, celestial chrysanthemum, its petals transforming into golden beams that shot skyward, blasting toward the dense hail of bullets.
This move resembled Dai Weis's White Tiger Fierce Light Wave, the only difference being that White Tiger Fierce Light Wave was more like a Gatling gun, firing rapidly but targeting a single enemy.
Yue Guan's Flowing Light, on the other hand, unleashed a volley of thousands of arrows, a large-scale, group attack.
Boom, boom, boom!
A burst of intense explosions echoed, and the torrent of shells was completely blocked by Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
"Your Majesty Gengjin, these traitors are about to escape. What should we do? Should we stop them?" a Spirit Sage-level lieutenant suddenly asked.
Lin Qiuyang smiled calmly and shook his head slightly. "That's unnecessary. If they think we've only ambushed troops in the valley, they're gravely mistaken!"
Bang, bang, bang!
As expected, after the Spirit Hall's Spirit Masters had charged for two or three minutes, a series of sky-shattering explosions erupted.
This time, however, the blasts didn't originate from the mountaintops, but from the ground below.
Hearing the sudden explosions, Lin Qiuyang said with a smile, "Let's give them a taste of our minefield, aren't you, President Yang?"
"That's right, Your Majesty Gengjin," Yang Wudi nodded and smiled. Now an 81st-level Spirit Douluo, possessing the ultimate attack power of a Title Douluo, it was only natural that he would accompany the troops on their expedition.
It was he who had suggested the minefield to Lin Qiuyang, inspired by Yue Guan's night raid on the Alchemist Association two years ago, which nearly cost him a leg.
The minefield proved effective, inflicting heavy damage on the Spirit Hall's Spirit Masters!
