Chapter 309: Massacre of the City
Huo Dongxue's words, full of murderous intent, left Dai Hao breathless. The surrounding officers and soldiers felt their worldviews shattering. This news was as shocking as the Sun Moon Empire declaring war and the Star Luo Empire being crushed by the Sun Moon Empire.
The White Tiger Duke died fighting his own daughter? Why am I having such a dream? The officers, coming to their senses, quickly dispersed the surrounding soldiers. Even they left the area, giving space to Huo Dongxue and Dai Hao. After all, family scandals shouldn't be aired in public.
Though they were curious, they didn't dare to openly witness their superior's disgrace. Dai Hao was highly respected in the Northwestern Army.
As for Dai Hao, he was silently cursing his fate. This person wants to kill me, and you all just leave? "Hmph, all the bystanders have left. Now it's time to settle our score," Huo Dongxue sneered, stepping closer to Dai Hao, her Rakshasa Scythe dripping blood.
The sharp clicks of Huo Dongxue's high heels on the ground echoed like a death knell in Dai Hao's heart.
It's over, I'm doomed! Thinking quickly, Dai Hao urgently asked, "Wait! I remember Yun'er gave birth to a son. What does my relationship with Yun'er have to do with a woman like you?" Perfectly triggering her rage.
Even though Huo Dongxue had accepted her female body, transitioning from male to female was still a deep pain for her.
Dai Hao's question made her even more furious, her soul power flaring violently.
"I'm so foolish," Huo Dongxue muttered, gripping her Rakshasa Scythe tighter. Dai Hao: "Huh?" "What's the use of explaining to someone about to die? Go to hell and repent! Devil Eye True Body—" Her seventh soul ring, black tinged with red, lit up, and an eerie pair of purple eyes appeared behind Huo Dongxue, staring coldly at Dai Hao.
Dai Hao wouldn't sit and wait to die. His White Tiger martial soul instantly possessed him, and nine perfectly matched soul rings appeared on his body.
But compared to Huo Dongxue's seven black and two red soul rings, his seemed pitifully inferior. "White Tiger True Body!" Dai Hao immediately used his martial soul true body, transforming into a massive white tiger, seven meters long and three meters tall, with heterochromatic eyes warily eyeing Huo Dongxue.
He tentatively unleashed a skill. White Tiger Light Wave— The blazing white beam shot towards Huo Dongxue, but was blocked by a dark purple energy shield around her, causing only ripples without any real effect.
Dai Hao was stunned. Though White Tiger Light Wave was only a hundred-year soul skill, with his Title Douluo strength, it could easily shatter a boulder. Yet, Huo Dongxue blocked it without even moving? Seeing Huo Dongxue's increasingly bright tenth soul ring, Dai Hao hesitated for only a fraction of a second before decisively turning to flee. He couldn't win this fight! Huo Dongxue's eyes snapped open, her true body and martial soul true body's eyes simultaneously emitting a chilling purple light.
Hmph, trying to escape? Lightning— "Ninth soul skill, Infernal Hell!" Dark purple light traversed space, instantly hitting the fleeing Dai Hao. Her ninth soul ring was obtained from a hundred-thousand-year Soul Devouring Demon Spider, whose venom could affect both spirit and soul.
Bibi Dong had a similar soul skill, 'Eternal Creation,' capable of bypassing all physical defenses, causing true damage. Huo Dongxue's Infernal Hell had a similar effect. An enemy hit by Infernal Hell had to compete with Huo Dongxue in spiritual strength.
Any defensive soul skills or spiritual defense soul tools would be useless. If their spiritual strength was inferior to Huo Dongxue's, they would be forcibly dragged into a spiritual nightmare, causing immense mental damage. Dai Hao's spiritual strength was certainly no match for Huo Dongxue's.
Hit by Infernal Hell, Dai Hao struggled in the air for just a second before plummeting to the ground like a rock. If not for his martial soul true body still being active, the sudden loss of all defenses while flying at high speed would have turned his White Tiger martial soul into a 'Prison Tiger' instead.
The Northwestern Army, observing from nearby, quickly organized a rescue for their fallen Marshal.
They couldn't interfere in Dai Hao's personal matters, nor did they dare eavesdrop, but as the highest-ranking Marshal of the Star Luo Empire and the current leader of the resistance in Yuming City against the Sun Moon Empire, they couldn't just watch him get killed by Huo Dongxue.
"Are you trying to stop me?" Huo Dongxue emerged from the tent, looking at the soldiers who, though fearful, stood their ground.
Her expression darkened. The soldiers said nothing, but their commander, a high-ranking officer, stepped forward and spoke with a bitter smile, "Miss, though we don't understand the grievances between you and the Marshal, he is our leader. On the battlefield, we cannot stand by and watch him be killed by you."
Huo Dongxue was unmoved, her face still cold.
"Spare me your nonsense. If you wish to die for a coward who abandoned his wife and child and lied through his teeth, then come." Without giving them time to react, Huo Dongxue swung her Rakshasa Scythe, sending a dark purple slash toward them.
Against these soldiers and officers, whose highest cultivation was Soul Douluo, Huo Dongxue's Rakshasa Scythe cut through them like grass. Her purple figure flickered like a ghost, and wherever she passed, flesh flew, blood sprayed, and the Rakshasa Scythe absorbed the blood, turning it into waste.
Huo Dongxue had gone mad.
Her mortal enemy was within reach, and anyone obstructing her revenge against Dai Hao was treated as an enemy.
She showed no mercy. Countless officers and soldiers died in terror, but as the death toll exceeded forty percent, the morale of the Northwestern Army was utterly crushed. The remaining officers and soldiers fled in terror, scattering in all directions.
They looked back at the figure standing at the city gate of Yuming City, surrounded by corpses but untouched by blood, their fear reaching new heights.
That was a demon. Yuming City, a fortress against the Sun Moon Empire, was destroyed today.
