Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

The soldiers, in agony, clutched their ears, their eyes wide with bloodshot vessels.

"Not good, it's a King-level Ferocious Beast."

"Boom—"

As the sky roiled with battle against the Green-scaled Birds, the ground trembled, and beyond the city, a dust cloud spread out for miles, with tens of thousands of thorn-covered giant wolves racing forward. The leader, a behemoth of ten meters, opened its jaws wide, unleashing a cannon blast from its mouth.

It collided with the barrage of artillery fire defending the walls, exploding in mid-air.

The soldiers were startled.

"Bad news, these beasts have been plotting, intending to siege in unison!"

The soldiers guarding the walls, faces resolute, kept firing at the pack of ferocious beasts.

The city might not fall, but under such a siege of beasts, they would eventually die.

"Audacious!"

An authoritative roar emanated from the highest building in the Great Capital Base, a skyscraper towering a hundred zhang tall.

"Clang—"

A clear sound of a sword chiming arose, like the cry of a phoenix or the chant of a dragon.

A golden light pierced through the void, streaking across the skies above the base city in an instant, shredding hundreds of Green-scaled Birds to pieces.

The golden light hovered high in the air, revealing its true form.

It was a Longsword radiating a divine golden glow, its hilt carved with a phoenix pattern that seemed to spring to life, and the blade adorned with dragon patterns, majestically grand, emanating an endless dignity.

"State-Defending Divine Sword!"

"It's the Director-General's State-Defending Divine Sword!!"

"Screech—"

The leader of the giant Green-scaled Birds, upon seeing the Longsword, promptly let out a piercing screech, retreating with its tribe.

"Think you can escape?"

A cold and tyrannical voice came from within the skyscraper.

"Anyone who offends Our Great Xia shall be killed without mercy!"

"Clang!"

The State-Defending Divine Sword roared like a tiger and a dragon, erupting with countless sword Qis.

In an instant, it pierced through all of the Green-scaled Birds, crashing down outside the city walls and slaughtering numerous ferocious wolves.

After slaying the Green-scaled Birds, the State-Defending Divine Sword became a long rainbow, reaching the outskirts of the city and slaying all the ferocious wolves without a single survivor.

Blood flowed like a river.

Within and without the city walls, whether they were soldiers previously ready to meet their deaths or civilians fraught with worry and fear, their gloom was lifted, and they were invigorated.

"Director-General is mighty!"

"Great Xia is mighty!!"

Within the towering skyscraper, an old man with silver hair, wearing black robes, stood before a window, his eyes cold and fierce.

"A bunch of riffraff dares to make trouble in Jing. They do not weigh their own worth."

He reached out his hand, and the golden light brought the State-Defending Divine Sword flying back to him, shrinking before it settled into his palm.

"Luo Tiance, your sword technique has improved again."

The silver-haired old man turned around. Despite appearing aged, his eyes were cold and arrogant.

"A mere trifle, not comparable to the eight of you old fellows blessed by the Heroic Spirit of Great Xia."

This was a conference room, with the main seat empty and eight people already seated around a long table.

If ordinary people were here, they'd probably be scared to death.

For those present were the pinnacle of power in the Great Xia Country, each commanding a province.

After enduring through disasters, Great Xia Country now only had the Nine Provinces, with the Nine Provinces commanding two hundred and seventy-three cities.

The old man conversing with Luo Tiance had a pair of large earlobes.

He shook his head with a wry smile.

"I think you're mocking us."

"Even with the Blessing of the Heroic Spirit, our Cultivation Levels are barely on par with yours, and you're without the spirit's aid."

The old man in black robes shook his head, his voice chilly:

"No."

"You are still lacking."

"You!" The large-earlobed old man's eyes bulged, somewhat annoyed.

A voice came from the side.

"Enough, Old Liu. You know the character of our Director-General Luo; he's not mocking you, he's just stating the truth."

The large-earlobed old man glared at the man by his side, an older man with a bristly beard.

"Cao Zei, shut up! He didn't mention you, did he!!"

The bearded man shrugged.

"We know how big the gap in progress and strength is with and without the Heroic Spirit's blessing. If we can't keep up with him, there's nothing to argue about; he's just a freak."

"Thump—"

"Thump!"

Luo Tiance took his seat in the main chair, his expression serious. "Enough, the trash outside has been cleaned up; now let's talk about important matters."

The large-earlobed Old Liu and the bearded Cao Zei, as well as the other six peak powerhouses, sat upright with a solemn expression in their eyes...
