Chapter 568 So you think you're the only one who can call for backup?
"What's going on! Where did those bastards come from?!"
"What are those things on them! How come we can't break through them?!"
A series of roars filled with intense resentment and fear echoed across the left side of the battlefield.
The allied forces never expected that their enemy would be completely encased in armor they had never seen before, and was slaughtering them relentlessly.
This is completely inconsistent with the intelligence they received.
Several Soul Saints huddled together, various colored lights shining from their palms, attempting to lock onto Hunter Squad 45, who was weaving through the crowd.
However, the hunter squad of forty-five members moved like nimble cheetahs, giving these Soul Saints no chance to aim.
"Someone tell me! Who the hell is this person! When did the Ye family acquire such a powerful soul tool?!" An old man with a terrifying scar on his left eye slammed his fist on the ground in anger.
His name is Qiongze, and he is the temporary commander of the left battlefield of the united forces. His cultivation level is at the peak of the Soul Douluo realm.
"Didn't they say that the Ye family's group of guys are all good-for-nothings? Where did these killing gods come from? Tell me! Where did you get your information from the Hook Claw Sect?!" Qiong Ze reached out and grabbed a Hook Claw Sect man standing next to him.
The man from the Hook Claw Sect was grabbed by Qiongze, his face flushed red, but his cultivation level was no match for Qiongze's. He desperately kicked his legs and tried to swat at Qiongze's hands.
"Let go of my Hook Claw Sect members!" A Soul Saint from the Hook Claw Sect rushed forward upon seeing this, but was blocked by several people around Qiong Ze.
Qiongze slammed the man in his hand to the ground, his beard and hair bristling, his five fingers forming claws and growing iron-blue scales, aiming at the man's throat.
"Your Hook Claw Sect claims to be able to fly and escape from the earth, and your intelligence has never been wrong. Then tell me! Where did these guys wearing iron lumps come from!" Qiong Ze laughed angrily and slapped the man across the face, knocking out several of his teeth.
"I...I don't know!" The man's face was filled with terror. Although he was a Soul Saint, he had no ability to resist Qiongze.
Qiong Ze's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but the people from the Hook Claw Sect had already begun to surround him. If things continued to escalate, the battle on his left side would turn into infighting before it was even over.
"You go up and hold them off for me!" Qiongze grabbed the man again and tossed him forward like a ball.
The Soul Saint who had previously tried to rescue the man unleashed his full power, breaking free from the restraints of the others. His Soul Rings flashing, he rushed towards Qiong Ze, shouting, "You dared to touch someone from my Hook Claw Sect! Do you intend to disband the alliance right now?!"
Qiong Ze slapped the Soul Saint in front of him to the ground, gritting his teeth as he said, "If your intelligence hadn't been flawed, how could my Qiong family have suffered such heavy casualties!"
On the left-hand battlefield, the people mobilized the most were from the Qiong family.
"All Soul Saints on standby, move forward! The plan has changed. First, capture and kill those four annoying jumping bugs!" Qiongze said, pointing to the four Stinging Bees who were frantically killing at the front.
Three of the five Soul Saints behind Qiongze immediately rushed out, while the remaining two were Soul Saints from the Hook Claw Sect. Their companion had just been knocked to the ground by Qiongze and had not yet recovered.
"What, are you going to defy me, the temporary commander appointed by the alliance?" Qiongze clenched his fists, his body swelled and grew larger, and in the blink of an eye, he became a snake-man three meters tall.
"We'll report back to the sect leader later. Let's go!" The Soul Saint who was leading the two gave Qiongze a deep look, then led his companion who was lying on the ground and flew ahead.
Under Qiongze's targeting, the pressure on the four members of the Sting Bees increased dramatically, and six Soul Saints secretly formed an encirclement to lock them down.
The space for the four members of the Sting Bees to move around was gradually compressed. With the strength of the three Soul Saints, they were unable to resist the six Soul Saints who joined forces.
The Soul Saints dispatched by the Ye family to the left battlefield discovered the predicament of the four Sting Bees. The three Soul Saints worked together to clear a path and flew to prepare to rescue them.
However, their opponents relentlessly pursued the three Soul Saints, and one of the six Soul Saints besieging the Stinging Bees also flew out to intercept the three Soul Saints from the Ye family.
A burly man with a beard raised his broadsword with all his might, his seven spirit rings flashing wildly as he gathered all his strength to slash at the stinging bee.
In an instant, Sting Bee raised its left arm, while simultaneously striking its shoulders with its right hand. The two shield parts that served as shoulder armor flew onto its left arm and assembled with the shield on its left arm to form a large soul-guided shield.
The broadsword, gleaming with blinding light, slashed fiercely at Stinger Bee's soul-guided shield, the immense impact causing Stinger Bee's feet to sink deep into the ground.
The Soul Guidance Shield burst forth with intense light, and the ten core magic arrays were fully activated by the Stinging Bees, blocking the bearded man's strike while firmly holding onto his Martial Soul Greatsword.
A team member behind Stinging Bee swiftly flicked his right hand, launching his arm blade. Large spores spread across his palm, activating a soul skill with a paralyzing effect.
The bearded giant hadn't expected that the stinging bee's shield could trap his martial soul. Just as he was exerting his strength to try and reclaim his martial soul, he caught a glimpse of cold light out of the corner of his eye, felt a pain in his neck, and then began to feel all his strength rapidly dissipating, making it difficult to breathe.
The remaining two members of the Sting Bee team quickly assembled a soul-guided shield, surrounding the member emitting spores in the center, while simultaneously throwing out the three-element grenades they were carrying.
The electric arcs, burning, and void energy startled the besieging Allied Soul Saints. The spores carrying neurotoxins spread in the wind, forcing them to retreat quickly.
However, the cannon fodder of the allied forces were not so lucky. Apart from the six Soul Saints, the rest of the cannon fodder who surrounded them were only at the fourth or fifth ring level of cultivation and were quickly taken down by the spores.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the three Soul Saints of the Ye family joined forces to attack one of the Soul Saints from the allied forces, knocking him to the ground. Then, they repeated the same tactic, targeting the remaining Soul Saints from the allied forces in turn.
The Soul Saints of the allied forces were attacked from behind and had no choice but to turn around to deal with the three Soul Saints of the Ye family. However, their sects were only temporarily allied and were fighting their own battles without any coordination.
Having gained a respite, the four Stinging Bees decisively abandoned their shields and, together with the three Soul Saints from the Ye family, surrounded and annihilated the Soul Saints of the allied forces.
With the seven Soul Saints of the allied forces rendered incapable of fighting on the left battlefield, Qiongze was unable to command the disorganized allied forces, signifying that the Ye family had gained the upper hand.
On the front lines, Ye Nanxiao observed for a while and then discovered the command post on the other side. He reached out with his left hand into the void beside him and opened a spatial rift.
The commander on the front lines suddenly felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
He was trying to figure out where the threat was coming from when he suddenly discovered a tiny silver slit that had appeared out of nowhere in the space in front of him.
"This is..." His brain was filled with doubt for a moment, and his crisis response kicked in immediately.
Dozens of ice needles flew out from the gap.
The commander of the united forces on the front lines had his brain turned into a showerhead, and even the Soul Douluo behind him had his protective soul power broken through by ice needles, which pierced into the left side of his body.
"Oh no! The commander has been killed in action!" exclaimed a Soul Douluo responsible for protecting the front-line commander.
This exclamation triggered a chain reaction, and the Soul Douluos and five Soul Saints who were originally surrounding the commander immediately turned to look at him.
The man who was giving orders a moment ago suddenly had his brain transformed into a showerhead, along with a Soul Douluo behind him who lost his fighting ability.
"The sneak attack was successful." Ye Nanxiao closed the spatial rift and then stood up.
"What succeeded?" Ye Ling Shuang asked, puzzled.
"The enemy's head is off, now it's time for the bombing!" Ye Nanxiao clasped his hands together in front of his chest, forming a hand seal. His silver hair moved without wind, and his eyes were filled with blue light.
Ye Nanxiao's first spirit ring burst forth with an exceptionally dazzling light, resembling a small sun in the darkness.
The latest novel is first published here!
"Boss?" Ye Ling Shuang could only shield her eyes with her hand, unable to look in Ye Nan Xiao's direction.
What did your boss do?
The next second, Ye Ling Shuang knew the answer.
An ice storm descended from the pitch-black night sky.
Countless icicles, each the size of a doorpost, fell from the sky, their density comparable to a torrential downpour.
A Soul Saint from the allied forces, who was fighting against members of the Ye family, knocked his opponent back with a single punch and quickly retreated to create distance.
"Why is there no commander?" The Soul Saint patted his ear in confusion.
Just a few seconds ago, he could still receive soul power transmissions from the command side. The battle formation that was originally arranged in cooperation with the Soul Saints of other sects has now become chaotic due to the lack of command.
Without a leader, it would be difficult for him to coordinate with people from other sects.
After waiting a few seconds, the Soul Saint retreated a few meters again and found his opponent, the Soul Saint of the Ye family, floating in place, looking at him with a playful expression.
"Damn it, where's the commander!" The Soul Saint turned his head to look at the location of the command center of his battlefield, only to see the command post in complete chaos.
Before his anger and fear could rise, his body's instinctive warnings responded strongly, forcing him to look up at the sky.
As he looked up, an icicle the size of a doorpost had already smashed into his face, its biting cold instantly shattering his protective soul power.
"It's over!" This was the last thought of the Soul Saint, his mind torn apart by the chilling aura that had invaded his body.
On the main battlefield, a meteor shower of ice storms fell, and the allied forces fell in droves like wheat.
"You bastard!"
The six titled Douluo assembled by the united forces were immediately enraged.
The leader of the Hook Claw Sect instantly locked onto Ye Nanxiao's location, bypassed the four heavily injured Ye family elders in front of him, and transformed into an arrow, rushing towards Ye Nanxiao.
"You insolent brat! I will make you pay the price!" The leader of the Hook Claw Sect transformed his left hand into an eagle claw shape, and at the same time let out a sharp whistle.
The four patriarchs of the Ye family were instantly entangled by the four titled Douluo of the allied forces, while the remaining one closely followed the leader of the Hook Claw Sect and attacked Ye Nanxiao.
In the critical moment, Ye Ling Shuang rushed to Ye Nan Xiao's side, and branches of Frosty Willow appeared on her arms.
"Boss, run! I'll cover your retreat!" Ye Ling Shuang shouted, flames faintly emanating from her body.
Ye Nanxiao looked at Ye Ling Shuang, who was blocking his way, and reached out to pull her behind him. "Don't panic, stand behind me."
Looking at the increasingly clear and ferocious old face of the Hook Claw Sect Master, Ye Nanxiao shook his head slightly and made an international friendship gesture.
"So you think you're the only one who can call in reinforcements?"
Seeing that Ye Nanxiao neither dodged nor intended to defend, the Hook Claw Sect Master was enraged. His hands suddenly transformed into a pair of eagle claws, and his mouth was replaced by a sharp beak. "Die!"
His eyes gleamed with a cruel, bloodthirsty light, as if he could already see Ye Nanxiao being pierced through the belly by his eagle claws.
The next moment, a yellowish-brown hand suddenly appeared in his line of sight.
Ye Ling Shuang suddenly realized that her boss, who seemed to be shaking his head and mocking her, was actually calling for people.
