Bab 214: Slaughter
The army started mobilizing organized, at each step the ground trembled under them. Bai took the lead, with his fighting style, it was decided it was better for him to fight alone and slaughter his way, clearing a path for the main army to follow and finishing the scattered troops.
It didn't take long before Bai reached Jialing Pass. In front of him stood a massive fortress. It had strong and wide walls with one big black metal gate on each side. Archers stood over the wall ready to shoot their arrows. At the foot of the fortress, stood a great number of soldiers, infantry and cavalry, prepared to battle. There was a special group wearing shining white scaled armors that for the aura around them, it was clear that they were high level spirit masters, but not reaching titled douluo. However, the numbers were too little, the Spirit Empire should be able to mobilize a greater army.
Bai arrived at the range of the archers. The already prepared archers released their bows, a rain of arrows falling over.
Bai didn't need to worry at all. Bai's 8th ring shined, surprising everyone with its red glow. A burst of wind expanded from Bai, shocking away all the arrow that started to fall at the Spirit Empire's army. This was Bai's complete reign of over wind, not only it was one attack, but the wind permanently changed, strong gusts of wind going against the fortress, making their archers useless.
"It's only one person! Attack! Tired him out!" Orders could be heard from the Spirit Empire's side. The infantry charged towards Bai.
Bai's swords widened, becoming 5 meters long, shining with a black glow. This was war, there was no reason to doubt. Without stopping, Bai charged at the army continuously swinging his swords. Blood surged with every swing, multiple soldiers continuously falling under his sword while his 6th ring shined. There wasn't much need of replenishment fighting this low level soldiers, but Bai kept his cautious and strength at the peak.
It didn't take long for the soldiers' face being painted with fear. Bai was an unstoppable raging torrent, charging towards him, only death awaited. The moral of the soldiers started falling and slowly retreat.
Suddenly, Bai jumped at a side, a rain of what it seemed to be knives fell under his previous position. Bai swung his swords reflecting the all the knives reaching him. Bai could see what the knives were, they were golden sharp petals.
"You're too rash, young man" A man stood floating at 50 meters away giggling. He was wearing a golden armor and seemed more a woman than a man. Bai recognized him as Crysanthemum Douluo, Yue Guan, a titled douluo under the direct orders of the Supreme Pontiff.
Bai twisted his left arm, positioning his sword at his back "Clink!" Bai's sword stopped a hand surrounded by purple aura. From the shadows, of a dead soldier had surged a man coated in black armor. He was Ghost Douluo, Gui Mei.
Having failed the initial attack, Gu Mei jumped back snapping his fingers. The dead bodies surrounding Bai, turned purple, anguished voices leaving their bodies. The bodies convulsed and started inflating.
"Booom!" All the corpses exploded with a purple light, engulfing Bai in it.
"Shing!" The explosion was cut by a sword, revealing Bai completely unscratched.
Seeing this, Gu Mei and Yue Guan's faced reflected fright "We need to stop him!" Their spirit power overlapped "<Spirit fusion: Dark Eclipse>". Surrounding Bai, a black cage appeared, encasing him in it.
"Crack!" It didn't even without one second, the black cage was cut, smithered in pieces by Bai's swords.
Bai's rings shined from an instant. Mei and Guan found their movements struggling, their bodies much weaker. Bai's skill was unable to affect titled douluos and people with domains before, but now that he reached titled douluo, it experimented a qualitative leap, affecting them. To evade their effects, they should be at least limit douluos or have their domains evolved to a Truth like Renxue.
Bai's body flashed, appearing over both titled douluos. "Y-yo-!" Bai swung his swords, cleanly slicing over Yue Guan, his head flying away, silencing forever. Bai spun his body, swinging his swords towards Gui Mei. Gu Mei could barely react being the second objective, his rings shined and the body of his companion convulsed and exploded.
The explosion of a titled douluo's body was much greater than of the normal soldiers. Bai was forced to use one of his swords, coated in Protection Intent, as a shield protecting from the explosion while the other one slashed at Gui Mei. Due to the explosion, Bai's attack was reflected, only being able to cut Gui Mei's right arm.
Gui Mei's rings shined, his body exploding in a purple aura. He shooting away from Bai. He held his wounded arm as he ran away for his life "I must run away. It doesn't matter the punishment, everything is better than death" Sometimes when the people get older, the more than they cherished their life, even at his 261 years old.
"Blurgggg!" Gui Mei vomited blood. A sword had impaled his body, from the sword black flames surged completely burning his body. The last he could see before being consumed by the flames was Bai pointing a sword at him, his 5th ring shining.
"M-monster!" Someone shouted, causing the army around Bai to collapse, trying to run away from him. It didn't even take Bai 10 seconds to kill two titled douluos, finishing completely unharmed. This wasn't a fight, it was a slaughter!
Bai charged again at the disorganized army, killing his way, completely alert from his surroundings for another titled douluo's attack. However, he couldn't sense how a black figure emerged from his own shadow, the arm of the figure formed in black scaled claws, thrusting them towards Bai.
"Crnnn!" The sound of piercing flesh could be listened, an arm flew away leaving a trail of blood.
