Transmigrating to Douluo Continent, A Moment of Godhood and Demonic Power

Chapter 102 The Crisis of Yelin City (5) - Reinforcements Arrive

On the south gate of Yelin City, a fierce wind howled, and banners fluttered in the wind. Baili Qian stood majestically atop the city wall, his left and right hands gripping a gleaming spear, like a war god descending to earth. He had already unleashed his Martial Soul True Form, his body radiating light, his aura as powerful as a dragon emerging from the sea.

Facing the two menacing 90,000-year-old demonic orbs from the underground caves, Baili Qian showed no fear. His spear danced like the wind, each strike accompanied by the roars of dragons and tigers. These two powerful soul beasts were the backbone of this beast tide; their attack power was astonishing. Yet, Baili Qian, through sheer strength and unwavering will, successfully defended the south gate, the most fiercely attacking point.

However, the relentless onslaught of the beast tide had severely depleted Baili Qian's soul power. Despite this, he gritted his teeth, gripped the Qiankun Twin Spears tightly, and engaged the two Cave Demon Spiders in close combat. In the fierce battle, he seized an opportunity, unleashing a sudden burst of power that severely injured one of the Cave Demon Spiders. After landing a successful blow, he quickly distanced himself. But at the same time, he was panting heavily from overexertion, his exhaustion evident.

Just then, Gu Yuxing on the other side of the city wall displayed extraordinary skill. With overwhelming force, he swiftly killed three 50,000-year-old Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpents around him, and then rushed towards Baili Qian's location without hesitation.

Fifth Soul Skill: Break!

With a roar, Gu Yuxing's seemingly simple spear shot out like lightning. Its speed was so great that it didn't even cause a whistling sound. In an instant, the spear tip struck the head of the Cave Demon Spider, which had just been severely injured by Baili Qian, unleashing a powerful impact. A deafening "bang" rang out, and the Cave Demon Spider's head exploded, its brains splattering everywhere—a bloody and shocking scene.

"Brilliant, Yu Xing!" Baili Qian turned his head and saw Gu Yu Xing arriving to provide timely assistance. Overjoyed, he hurriedly took out the Soul Returning Tool he had prepared beforehand from his pocket. The Soul Returning Tool shimmered with a faint but reassuring light, as if it contained endless energy and hope.

Baili Qian gripped the life-saving soul tool tightly, not daring to delay for a moment, and began to absorb the soul power within it with complete concentration. He could feel a warm and powerful force rapidly spreading throughout his body from his arm, and his nearly depleted soul power was gradually replenished, and his body slowly regained some vitality.

Meanwhile, Gu Yuxing stared confidently at the enemy ahead, a faint smile playing on his lips. He turned to Baili Qian, who was frantically recovering his soul power, and said loudly:

"Boss, just focus on recovering! Leave this to me, let me deal with this guy first..."

Having said that, he stretched his wrists, gripped the Soul-Breaking Spear tightly in his right hand, and with a flash, charged towards the enemy like an arrow released from a bow.

Although there was a clear superior-subordinate distinction in their positions, both were graduates of the prestigious Spirit Hall Academy. Gu Yuxing enrolled a year later than Baili Qian but graduated a year earlier than Han Xue. Since leaving the academy and joining the military, Gu Yuxing had consistently followed in Baili Qian's footsteps. Upon closer examination of Gu Yuxing's exceptional marksmanship, it's easy to see how similar his style was to Baili Qian's, as if they were from the same lineage.

Back when these two first entered the military camp, whether it was the fierce battles between soul masters and soul beasts, the friendly exchanges and mutual encouragement, or the little things in their daily lives and the relaxation during their rest time, they were always inseparable and by each other's side. They were truly close friends who could talk about anything.

Whenever Baili Qian received a promotion, he would always remember to help his close brother Gu Yuxing. On one occasion, when the highly respected Emperor of Tiandou intended to reward Baili Qian handsomely and asked him what his heart truly desired, Baili Qian unhesitatingly stated in court that his greatest wish was to fight alongside his good brother Gu Yuxing to the very end, never to be separated in this life!

It was precisely because of this deep bond of friendship that when Baili Qian was ordered to return to Yelin City, Gu Yuxing followed him without hesitation. Now, he not only holds the position of Deputy City Lord of Yelin City (it should be noted that this position is not held by a single person), but also the crucial position of Chief Dispatcher of the Border Defense Force. It is no exaggeration to say that in this city, his status is second only to Baili Qian; he is truly a man of great power and influence, inspiring awe.

Before leaving, Baili Qian, with a concerned expression, earnestly instructed, "Be careful in everything."

Baili Qian was well aware of Gu Yuxing's strength; his Soul-Shattering Spear was no less powerful than the Qiankun Twin Spears. His strength was undoubtedly among the top in the Soul Douluo ranks, just one step away from a breakthrough…

……

Inside the Yelin Lantern Festival pedestrian street.

"Yu Han!" Ouyang Luoxue shouted, her beautiful eyes fixed on the menacing Thousand-Pound Ants ahead. At the same time, the Ice Spirit Staff in her hand flashed with dazzling light…

Qian Yuhan's figure flashed, moving with the speed of a ghost. He shouted:

"Second Soul Skill: Shadow Clone of Light! First Soul Skill: Light Slash!"

Before he finished speaking, his figure instantly split into three identical clones, each wielding a long sword that shone with golden light and exuding a chilling aura.

Ouyang Luoxue and Qian Yuhan seemed to share an innate understanding. Without needing many words, a single glance or a shout was enough for them to know each other's thoughts and intentions. This level of tacit cooperation was as if they had fought side by side countless times.

Just then, the Thousand-Pound Ant, which had just broken free from Ouyang Luoxue's "Ice Cage," pounced on Qian Yuhan and Ouyang Luoxue like a raging lion. Its massive body stirred up a gust of wind, and its sharp claws gleamed with a cold light, sending chills down everyone's spine.

However, Qian Yuhan and Ouyang Luoxue did not panic when faced with the overwhelming Thousand-Pound Ants. They skillfully used their movement techniques to constantly dodge and weave across the battlefield, repeatedly avoiding the Thousand-Pound Ants' fierce attacks.

While dodging, the two didn't forget to adjust their condition and try their best to recover their soul power. Finally, after a difficult struggle and evasion, they successfully recovered most of their soul power. Although they consumed some soul power while dodging the attacks of the soul beasts during the recovery process, overall, they still had a full 90% of their soul power remaining!

At this moment, Ouyang Luoxue seized the opportunity and once again swung her Ice Spirit Staff, unleashing a chilling blast of energy that struck the Thousand-Pound Ant with unerring accuracy. The Thousand-Pound Ant's movements immediately slowed, and it was firmly controlled.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qian Yuhan launched an attack without hesitation. His three clones simultaneously raised their longswords and roared in unison, "Light Slash!" In an instant, three dazzling golden slashes tore through the void, rushing towards the Thousand-Pound Ant with unparalleled power.

These three golden slashes were like three bolts of lightning, their momentum immense and undiminished by the increase in the number of clones. They struck the Thousand-Pound Ant with lightning speed, producing a deafening roar.

"Plop, plop, plop—" Accompanied by a series of chilling sounds, the Thousand-Pound Ant's two incredibly sharp forelegs fell limply to the ground like severed tree branches. At the same time, not far to the right rear of the Thousand-Pound Ant, a pitiful Ghost Tiger's head rolled to the side.

The reason for this outcome was none other than that one of Qian Yuhan's clone attacks had gone astray, coincidentally striking a ghost tiger with five thousand years of cultivation. What was originally a sure-fire strike had thus deviated from its target, instantly complicating the situation.

But just then, the Ice Spirit Staff in Ouyang Luoxue's hand vanished without a trace, replaced by a long, azure-blue sword tightly gripped in her right hand. The hilt of this sword was inlaid with numerous dazzling gems, shimmering with brilliant light while also emanating a powerful and majestic aura; it was as if anyone approaching it could feel its chilling pressure.

It turns out that Ouyang Luoxue had quietly switched her martial soul. At this moment, what she was tightly gripping in her right hand was her second martial soul—the Ice God Battle Blade! Although this battle blade currently only had one spirit ring attached to it, this spirit ring was no ordinary item; it was a ten-thousand-year spirit ring!

After successfully unleashing his first soul skill, Qian Yuhan was shocked to discover that a blue ice-shattering slash was following closely behind the three yellow strikes. This ice-shattering slash was as swift as lightning, striking the Thousand-Pound Ant's neck with extreme precision. In the blink of an eye, the massive Thousand-Pound Ant's head was severed from its body, blood splattering everywhere.

Just after Qian Yuhan finished using "Shadow Clone of Light," the two shimmering clones flew back into his main body like shooting stars. Qian Yuhan was utterly astonished, his gaze fixed on Ouyang Luoxue opposite him, silently pondering:

"Is this the power to control a power-attack type Soul Master? It's terrifying!"

Recalling the fierce arena battle, if Ouyang Luoxue had unleashed her mysterious and powerful domain ability, combined with the fierce strikes from her incredibly sharp longsword, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Thinking of this, Qian Yuhan couldn't help but gasp, subconsciously wiping her forehead, but in reality, there wasn't a single drop of sweat there.

After calming himself down slightly, Qian Yuhan slowly began to speak:

"That's incredibly strong..."

Before she finished speaking, Ouyang Luoxue's lips curled into a knowing smile. At that moment, time seemed to stand still; her smile was as radiant and dazzling as spring flowers in full bloom—truly a smile that could launch a thousand ships, captivating and enchanting!

However, just as Qian Yuhan was about to immerse himself in this brief, beautiful atmosphere, a sudden shout rang out from the previously quiet open space: "Watch out!" The shout, like a thunderclap, shattered the tranquility. Qian Yuhan's heart skipped a beat, and he looked in the direction of the sound, discovering it was Han Xue issuing the warning. He immediately realized that something unexpected had happened where Tang Xuan and Tang Chen were!

Qian Yuhan shook her head, inwardly cursing: "Qian Yuhan, you're really hungry! How embarrassing! Don't you know we're still fighting?!"

Without a second thought, Qian Yuhan flashed forward, dashing towards the scene like an arrow. At the same time, seeing the situation was dire, Ouyang Luoxue followed without hesitation, heading to their aid. Meanwhile, after confirming that Fang Ya and Mu Chen had fully recovered, Zhao Ke also rushed towards Tang Xuan and Tang Chen's location to provide support.

“This is—” Qian Yuhan squinted at the soul beast in front of her.

"Dark! Gold! Terror! Claw! Bear!" Everyone said in unison, enunciating each word clearly.

This Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear possesses a cultivation level of 50,000 years! Its ferocity is astonishing; it is fully capable of engaging in fierce battles with two or three Soul Saints, and it holds its own in the fight.

Just then, Han Xue suddenly noticed the mysteriously appearing dark golden dinosaur bear, and an ominous premonition welled up in her heart. She knew that facing such a powerful being with fifty thousand years of cultivation was something these children couldn't possibly handle.

Although Han Xue had witnessed firsthand the extraordinary performance of these gifted children in this thrilling battle, their superhuman fighting power far exceeded her original expectations—it was nothing short of monstrous—which left her in disbelief. She even began to question whether her understanding of the world, as a former child prodigy, had been too narrow!

However, the Dark Gold Devilclaw Bear they were about to face was simply invincible! The difference in strength was too great, too overwhelming...

But at this crucial moment, Han Xue herself was held back by other high-level soul beasts and couldn't break free to help the children. She anxiously looked at the guard fighting to protect Ouyang Luoxue and found the situation equally dire. That guard was currently facing an 80,000-year-old ghost tiger alone, struggling immensely in a one-on-one fight, and powerless to spare any effort to support the others!

"The 102rd Squad of the First Army of the Heavenly Dou Empire's Border Guard is here to provide support!"

This shout, like a thunderclap, resounded through the sky and echoed across the entire battlefield. Immediately afterwards, another loud shout followed:

"The 073rd Squad of the First Army of the Heavenly Dou Empire's Border Guard is here to provide support!"

Just ten minutes ago, atop the towering and sturdy city walls of the South Gate, Baili Qian and Gu Yuxing were leading a group of independent cultivators from various regions who had volunteered to join the battle, fiercely resisting the surging tide of soul beasts. Their figures appeared somewhat frail in the fierce fighting, but each of them refused to back down, fighting with all their might against the enemy.

At that moment, a rousing bugle call resounded across the sky, shattering the tense and oppressive atmosphere on the battlefield. Hearing this sound, Baili Qian's previously strained face instantly lit up with joy. His lips curled slightly upward, and he murmured softly:

"Reinforcements have finally arrived..."

It was as if the dawn of victory was shining not far ahead...
