Douluo's ice devil Yuhao

Chapter 487 Rebellion from the North

In the north of the Sun and Moon Empire, there is a vast hilly area with uneven terrain.

A uniformly dressed team was marching in an orderly manner. Everyone was fully armed with a complete set of soul guidance tools. The number was about a hundred. They were obviously a team of soul guidance tools.

Only the leading man and woman were dressed differently from the others, and their strength was particularly outstanding. They were obviously the leaders of this soul engineer team.

The young man has a handsome appearance but a cold face. He is dressed in a flowing white robe and is not equipped with any soul-guided weapons. He only has a dark long sword in his arms, which looks out of place with the other people's paintings.

The young woman's expressions are much richer, and she is equipped with a complete range of soul guides, making her look like an all-rounder.

The two of them were Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan. They followed Jing Hongchen's arrangements and entered the army. They accumulated military merit and were quickly promoted to strengthen Mingdetang's control over the army.

Now, the soul master group they belonged to came to the north to put down the rebellion launched by the Brilliant Duke.

This soul engineer team is the vanguard. Their original mission was to investigate the situation, but now there is not much caution on everyone's faces. On the contrary, their morale is high and everyone is extremely excited.

They encountered several vanguard armies belonging to the Brilliant Duke one after another. In the end, they killed the enemy commander and captured the rest without experiencing large-scale firefights or going back to call for reinforcements.And these are naturally the masterpieces of Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan.

All the soul masters looked at Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan, with a hint of respect in their eyes.

At first, the team members were quite critical of these two airborne captains, but after seeing their strong strength, everyone in the team felt admiration from the bottom of their hearts.

A seventh-level soul master and a sixth-level soul master showed no fear when facing thousands of troops. They dared to rush into the enemy encirclement alone, behead the enemy generals, and then use thunderous means. To frighten the rest of the enemy forces and make the rebel army confused, so that the Sun and Moon Army can successfully capture the opponent.

Although the enemy's strength is generally not strong, this calmness in navigating the battlefield,

Therefore, their vanguard force has repeatedly achieved great success.

Ji Juechen had no interest in the so-called military achievements. He just held the long sword and silently walked at the front of the team.It wasn't him who showed everyone the way, but Jing Ziyan who was on the side. She was holding a soul guide with a pointer, as if she was measuring the direction.

Jing Ziyan estimated: "Idiot, judging from the surrounding environment, we are almost close to the territory of the Brilliant Duke."

Ji Juechen seemed not to hear, and didn't even respond.

"I'm talking to you." Jing Ziyan shouted dissatisfied, "Maybe behind that hill is the main force of the Brilliant Duke."

Ji Juechen then cherished his words and said: "Just defeat."

"There is really no sense of crisis." Jing Ziyan curled her lips, suddenly her face changed slightly, she changed her previous ungrateful look, and spoke to the rear with a serious face.

"Everyone is on alert, enemy attack is detected."

As soon as he finished speaking, rows of heads suddenly appeared on the previously deserted hillside in the distance.The heads gradually emerged, revealing a densely packed army.

The hillsides were occupied by troops, and the number of enemies was probably in the tens of thousands.

"They are the main force of the Brilliant Duke!"

Although everyone in the soul master team was holding weapons, they were extremely nervous inside.The number of enemy troops in front of them was more than the total number of vanguard troops they had encountered before, and it was obviously not something they could deal with.

"Captain, retreat quickly and go back to call for reinforcements." A soul engineer advised Chao Jing Ziyan.

However, Jing Ziyan did not wait for an answer.Ji Juechen took the lead and took a step forward with his long sword in hand. There was no trace of fear or timidity on his cold face.

"Where is the enemy general?"

The condensed soul power covered the entire valley and reached the ears of all enemy soldiers.

A bright yellow flag was erected in the sea of ​​people on the hillside, and then a tall horse carrying a man slowly walked out.

The man on horseback also shouted loudly: "This general is the eldest son of the Brilliant Duke, the first heir to the title, and the general of the principality, Zhao Yang."

"My father has no intention of rebellion. He just wants to establish his own principality. Why is Your Majesty going to such a big move?"

His voice was very loud, and judging from his aura, his cultivation level was at least above that of Soul Saint.

The more than one hundred people in the soul mentor team were already panicking. The opponent not only had strong soul saints, but also tens of thousands of troops. Their vanguard force would never be a match.

Someone looked to the side, and their expressions suddenly became extremely ugly.It turned out that there were two more directions that were also filled with dense enemy troops. They had entered the encirclement at some point.

"Captain, if we don't escape, we will have no way to escape." Several soul engineers continued to persuade.

However, Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan remained unmoved.

Ji Juechen looked directly at Zhao Yang in front of the enemy formation and said word by word: "Fight, or surrender."

The long sword was pointed directly at the enemy, and the sharp sword intent went straight up the slope.

Zhao Yang did not expect that Ji Juechen, who was surrounded, would dare to do this. His expression changed slightly and he raised his right hand.

"The soul guide of Grand Duke Brilliant is ready."

Behind him, a team with significantly better equipment than ordinary troops was ready. As long as Zhao Yang gave the order, it could launch an attack at any time.

This team of about 100 soul masters are all fourth-level soul masters, and they are already an elite force under the Brilliant Duke.

A hundred pieces of fourth-level soul-guiding ray barrels began to accumulate energy, preparing to blast at Ji Juechen and others in the encirclement.

The soul mentors behind Ji Juechen were also prepared to attack. Although they had experienced a lot of battles, big and small, the dark army in front of them put everyone under great psychological pressure.

Only Ji Juechen remained calm. He only glanced briefly at the one hundred fourth-level soul mentors, and then turned his sharp eyes back to General Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yang's face turned cold, his raised arm quickly fell down, and he said in a deep voice: "Let go."

Just before the one hundred fourth-level soul masters launched their attack, Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan rushed out first, flying quickly at low altitude above the hillside, wearing white robes and leaving a trail of wisdom in the air. Like an afterimage.

Ji Juechen didn't like to use other soul guides, and he couldn't use them well. At this moment, his burst of high speed relied on Jing Ziyan's flying soul guide and propulsion soul guide.

Zhao Yang, who was on the hillside, smiled contemptuously and said, "I don't know whether to live or die."

Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan were indeed very fast, but no matter how fast they were, as long as they were flying in the air, they would be easy targets for the soul mentor group.Under the dense firepower network composed of a hundred level four soul guide rays, even with an invincible shield, it would not last long.

boom--

One hundred pieces of level four soul-guided rays roared one after another, and messy white light poured out from high up, like a waterfall of firepower formed by a swarm of white meteors. There was no safe place to stay.However, facing this level of firepower, Ji Juechen's mood did not show any fluctuation. His eyes were still staring straight at Zhao Yang through the dense white light.

Now, he actually doesn't use his eyes to observe the surrounding scene at all, but from a higher and wider perspective.

The firepower network composed of a hundred rays seems dense, but there are still countless gaps in the space in front. As long as you make adjustments in advance, people flying in them can play with ease like a fish in the water.

Jing Ziyan cleverly changed directions in the air to avoid the incoming rays, but her speed did not decrease too much.A distance of more than a thousand meters passed quickly, and the general's flag suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

The first round of shooting was over and the white light disappeared. Zhao Yang was about to take a proud look at the two people who had turned into ashes, but he was suddenly stunned.

Directly above him was Ji Juechen, who was dressed in white robes. The jet-black meteorite iron sword was already filled with fierce sword intent.

A sense of crisis arose from the bottom of Zhao Yang's heart. Zhao Yang drank suddenly, and the seven soul rings behind him shone. His figure skyrocketed, and his majestic muscles were like a giant bear.

As a Soul Saint, his perception was naturally sharp. The terrifying sword intent on Ji Juechen made him truly feel the threat of death. The thousands of troops around him could not provide him with the slightest sense of security.

Only then did he realize how ridiculous it was to launch a rebellion on the border of the Sun and Moon Empire. Those masters from Mingdu didn't care at all how many troops they had and how many soul masters they had. They wanted to take over among thousands of troops. His own life is like picking something out of a bag.

But once you choose some paths, you can never go back. Even if you surrender, can he, one of the masterminds, escape any involvement?
With a loud roar, Zhao Yang's seventh soul ring flashed behind him, and his body expanded again, transforming into a five-meter-tall giant bear. He waved out his huge bear claws to slap Ji Juechen in the air.

His soul power is solid and he is an orthodox soul master who does not take excessive drugs. At this moment, he is using his true form of martial soul.His martial spirit is called Golden Bear, and it is a beast martial spirit with excellent strength and defense.

But he is not the only Seven-Huan Soul Master, Ji Juechen is also one.

Seven soul rings, two yellow, two purple, and three black, floated together behind Ji Juechen. All the soul power in his body had been integrated into the sword in his hand on the way, just to make a thunderous strike at this moment.

The cold sword intent was concentrated in one place, killing all the beast-like violent aura.

Zhao Yang's huge bear body froze at this moment, and his eyes looking up at Ji Juechen were filled with disbelief.He rolled his eyes slightly and looked down with difficulty. The Heavenly Meteor Iron Sword had penetrated his chest at some point, and blood spurted out.

"Ah——" The thick and hard leather armor was like white paper under the sharp metal puncture, and Zhao Yang's last breath disappeared in a painful scream.

Ji Juechen was still hanging in the air, his white robe fluttering in the wind, his eyes indifferent, as if what he did was not worth mentioning.

Zhao Yang's bear corpse just stood there, with blood staining the bright yellow general's flag red. No one on the huge hillside dared to say a word. Everyone looked here in shock, unable to believe that the battle ended so quickly.

Their leader, who had been so high-spirited before, now turned into a corpse.

The general died, and the army was leaderless. After a short period of silence, chaos and noise were about to follow.The mood of fear continues to spread in the army, and there is a strong tendency for birds and beasts to disperse.

These soldiers all knew what would happen to the rebels. Everyone looked at the white-clothed figure in the sky with fear. This strong man killed their general with one blow. It was equally easy to kill them. No one wanted to Stay where you are and wait for death.

At this moment, a loud voice echoed throughout the hillside.

"The general is dead, everyone puts down their weapons, and our army will treat prisoners of war preferentially."

It was Jing Ziyan who spoke. She held a loudspeaker soul guide and sent the general's orders into the ears of every soldier belonging to the Brilliant Grand Duke.

"The Grand Duke of Brilliance strikes an egg against a stone without overestimating his own capabilities. Your Majesty has a purpose. Those who surrender will not be blamed and will be punished lightly. Otherwise, once the main force of our Sun and Moon Army arrives, those who stubbornly resist will bear the consequences."

The army that was about to fall into chaos regained some order, but everyone didn't seem to believe this.

Finally, a man who looked like a leader among the army’s soul mentors asked: “How can we trust you?”

They could not bear the charge of rebellion and did not dare to bear the consequences.

"The gold sun and silver moon are above us. This is His Majesty's imperial edict. There is no joke."

The sound of Jing Ziyan echoed through the hillside again.

The leader hesitated for a long time, thought again and again before nodding: "Okay, our army is willing to surrender..."

The Golden Sun, Silver Moon Totem has always been the highest sworn standard of the Sun and Moon Royal Family, and no royal family would make a joke about it.

Ji Juechen, who took the enemy general's head among thousands of troops, said nothing. He just took back his sword and gently wiped the blood on the sword. Dressed in white, he looked like a god of war in the dark army.

On a hillside a few kilometers away, Huo Yuhao looked at the scene of the battlefield here and sighed: "Famous teachers and generals should not stay in prison. Thousands of troops and horses should avoid white robes."

He also held a small booklet in his hand, which contained the secret of the body that was temporarily lent to him by Du Busheng for three days.

He didn't stay in Tianhun for long before returning to the Sun and Moon Empire. Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan were able to successfully break through the fire network just now because of his mental detection and sharing assistance.

The Ice Emperor frowned and asked, "I really can't understand something about this."

"Can't understand what?"

"The Brilliant Grand Duke doesn't have any strong men at all. Why does he have the courage to launch a rebellion?"

Huo Yuhao snorted softly: "You don't understand, even I don't understand. Does he think that since Mingdu is fighting for the throne, no one can care about him?"

"Even without me, it would be easy for any other clan to come up and deal with him. It just depends on whether you want to or not."

The Ice Emperor asked again: "Then why do these little soldiers dare to rebel with the Grand Duke? Aren't they afraid of the Mingdu army?"

Huo Yuhao pondered for a while and said: "This problem is more complicated. I guess the main reason is that they were born in the north and grew up in the north. The strongest person they have ever seen is the glorious Duke who rules them. People who have never seen Mingdu cannot disobey the Grand Duke’s orders.”

He frowned slightly and said to himself: "Under this feudal system, his grand duke is no different from the so-called principality. They are all governed by him. Since he has taken advantage of it, I will solve it easily. From now on, the northern cities will be reorganized It will be managed by Mingdu and will no longer be entrusted to anyone."

north……

The Snow Emperor looked north and suddenly murmured: "If you go north from the Sun and Moon Empire, you should be able to return to the far north."

Huo Yuhao added: "Yes, it should be bordering the ice sea in the west of the Far North."

"Would you like to take this opportunity to go back to the far north?" asked the Snow Emperor.

Huo Yuhao nodded after thinking: "There should be no problems in the follow-up in the Sun and Moon North. Anyway, I have already reminded you of the discipline of the army. In this case, I just have time to go to the far north."

As he was speaking, he turned his head and looked to the west, frowning slightly.

"The Demonic Forest should be not far from that location. I'll drop by the Demonic Forest first to see how the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Religion looks like, and then go to the far north."
