Douluo: Soul-Breaking spear

Chapter 280: The Battle of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan

Inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, the assault began as Flame Eagle Douluo issued the command. Shadows swept through the palace grounds, and Flame Eagle Douluo himself transformed into an enormous flaming eagle spanning dozens of meters, unleashing his eighth spirit skill, Boiling Blood. The entire palace was engulfed in fiery red feathers as his flames spread over everything.

The forces from Wuhun Hall surged forward, cutting down anyone in sight. Their primary objective: the complete annihilation of the entire Heaven Dou royal family. With two titled Douluo, numerous Spirit Douluo, and Spirit Saints on their side, the Heaven Dou Palace fell quickly, becoming a slaughterhouse.

Meanwhile, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan and the Clear Sky Clan came under direct assault.

Unlike during the last soul hunt, where they'd received some advance warning, the clans had no chance to detect this attack. No matter how skilled, their scouts could not detect incoming titled Douluo.

As time passed, both clans were plunged into chaos. Flames raged, and countless disciples perished in the pandemonium.

Inside the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan's main grounds, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi realized what was happening, but only after a significant number of their disciples had already fallen. Seeing the devastation, they prepared to fight back, but their eyes widened in shock.

The Wuhun Hall forces had come well-prepared: Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo arrived wielding their massive Coiling Dragon Staffs, specifically targeting Sword Douluo, while three other titled Douluo hunted down their remaining targets, focusing especially on Clan Leader Ning Fengzhi.

With only a few hundred spirit masters in their ranks, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan was severely outmatched. The Wuhun Empire had dispatched five titled Douluo, over thirty Spirit Douluo, and more than three hundred Spirit Saints. Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were stunned by the strength of the attacking force.

In the hierarchy of spirit masters, the higher one climbed, the fewer people one would find on the same level. Even the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan, with nearly a thousand members, could only boast fewer than fifty high-level Spirit Saints and Spirit Douluo. In the broader spirit master world, Spirit Saints and above made up less than five percent of spirit masters—a percentage that only major clans could match. For smaller sects, high-level spirit masters were even rarer.

Despite Sword Douluo's impressive combat prowess, he found himself outmatched by Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo's relentless teamwork. The attackers were in no hurry to finish the fight, focusing on keeping the entire Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan suppressed. Both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo faced two titled Douluo each.

Though the Seven Treasures Clan members had stocked up on Zhuge Divine Crossbows and other hidden weapons, their effectiveness against Spirit Saints and above was limited.

This assault team may have had far fewer fighters than the previous soul hunt, but their quality was significantly higher. Whereas the soul hunt had relied on sheer numbers, most of whom were low- and mid-level spirit masters vulnerable to the hidden weapons, this time Wuhun Hall's forces were elite spirit masters, practically immune to such attacks.

With over three hundred elite Spirit Saints attacking with relentless spirit avatars and spirit abilities, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan's defenses crumbled.

Under such pressure, both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo grew anxious. Bone Douluo turned to Ning Fengzhi, who was standing nearby. "Fengzhi, this is completely different from last time. We've already sent out a distress signal, but when do you think the Clear Sky Clan and Heaven Dou Empire can send help?"

Ning Fengzhi's expression was grave. "Uncle Bone, I'm afraid their reinforcements may never arrive. The Wuhun Empire is determined to wipe us out, and they've brought nothing but their top fighters."

Before they could devise another plan, distress signals came back from both the Clear Sky Clan and the Heaven Dou royal family, turning their hopes of support into pleas for rescue from their allies.

Ning Fengzhi's expression hardened. "Uncle Bone, what's the latest from the Heaven Dou Palace and Clear Sky Clan? Do we have any new information?"

Bone Douluo's face was unusually dark. "I can sense two titled Douluo in the direction of the palace, but things seem even worse near the Clear Sky Clan. I feel the presence of at least ten titled Douluo there."

"That's impossible! The Wuhun Hall couldn't possibly deploy so many titled Douluo for a single operation unless they've emptied out their entire reserve."

Ning Fengzhi was stunned. Logically, the Clear Sky Clan would be Wuhun Hall's primary target. But to send so many titled Douluo against them, it was clear the Wuhun Empire intended to eliminate both clans completely.

If Bone Douluo and Ning Fengzhi were to flee, Sword Douluo would have to face five titled Douluo alone, including the formidable Qianjun and Jiangmo Douluo. Without Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo to keep the attackers occupied, the remaining spirit masters would be completely wiped out. Against so many Spirit Saints and above, they wouldn't stand a chance.

The Wuhun Empire's Spirit Saints moved like wolves in a flock of sheep, quickly decimating the clan's disciples.

"Uncle Bone, should we retreat toward the Clear Sky Clan? We might stand a chance if we combine our forces."

Bone Douluo's face turned even grimmer. "I doubt it's possible. The Wuhun Empire has likely stationed even more powerful fighters there, possibly even stronger than we could imagine."

Ning Fengzhi grew even more resolute. "Uncle Bone, rally everyone for a retreat. Let's try to make it to the area around Heaven Dou City, where the empire's forces can offer us some protection."

Following Ning Fengzhi's command, the clan members attempted a swift retreat. But facing off against Spirit Saints and Spirit Douluo was no easy task. With their overwhelming speed and power, the Wuhun Hall forces easily caught up to the fleeing members. The disparity between the clans was stark; for every three Seven Treasures Clan members, there was one powerful Wuhun Hall master, many of whom were Spirit Saints or Spirit Douluo.

Ghost Leopard Douluo led a group of agile assault masters to pursue and slaughter the fleeing disciples, cutting them down like autumn leaves. The Seven Treasures Clan members fell rapidly as the Wuhun Hall forces closed in.

Though the Wuhun Hall contingent was relatively small, this advantage allowed many to slip away. Unlike the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which had been exterminated, the Seven Treasures Clan managed to open a gap and let a few disciples escape.

However, it was mostly high-level spirit masters who managed to flee. Lower-level disciples were left behind, entirely outmatched by the pursuing forces. Those high-level spirit masters had to contend with opponents even more powerful, while the lower-level disciples were left defenseless.

Despite their best efforts, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan faced catastrophic losses. More than eighty percent of their spirit masters were killed. Though the clan wasn't entirely destroyed, their core foundation had been decimated, and the death toll continued to rise as the Wuhun Hall forces pursued them relentlessly.
