Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

The Nine Ancestors coughed up large amounts of blood, his chest blown open, with flesh and blood a blur.

He roared, "Seventh Bro, we can't take it head-on anymore. That kid is really sneaky and this pack of old beasts truly want to screw us over. If we don't retreat now, we're all going to die here today."

"No, we can't leave. If we don't kill this brat today, I won't be able to quell the hatred in my heart," the Seventh Ancestor, drenched in blood, said, his eyes like that of a vengeful Dead Ghost.

How many years had it been? How many years had they gone without being injured or shedding blood? Yet today, they had been played by a mere indigenous b.r.a.t with just a few words.

With new grudges piled on top of the old, if they didn't kill this native today, the Seventh Ancestor feared he would fall into a mental demon upon return.

"You still have the mind to be distracted while fighting us?"

Jian Chenzi let out a relaxed laugh, raising his hand to release tens of thousands of sword shadows, which turned into a dragon made of sword qi, ripping through the sky and slashing heavily onto the Ghostly Banner that protected the Seventh Ancestor.

The Ghostly Banner remained undamaged, but the rebound force indeed made it difficult for the two ancestors.

"I've got a plan."

A fierce smile flashed across the Seventh Ancestor's mouth.

"You old beasts think you can keep us here? It's not that simple."

"Old Nine, forget about the others and go all out with me attacking these two swordsmen."

"But the others…" the Nine Ancestors hesitated for a moment.

"Listen to me, there's no mistake," the Seventh Ancestor commanded decisively, abandoning the defense against others and attacking Jian Chenzi and his ally with full force.

The Nine Ancestors also went crazy in his attacks, completely disregarding the other Ancestral Realm powerhouses in a desperate fighting style that traded wound for wound.

"Have you lost your minds!"

Jian Chenzi's pupils constricted as he and his companion continued to use the Sword Finger Law to fend off the joint attack of the Seventh and the Nine Ancestors.

However, their opponents fought like mad dogs, as if they were determined to tear a piece of flesh from their bodies before dying.

The other powerhouses had no intention of dealing with the two of them; instead, they desperately launched attacks at the weakened Seventh and the Nine Ancestors.

Meanwhile, Luo Yu, still in Soul Land, saw the changes in the universe and let out an alarmed "Uh-oh."

Everyone was puzzled. Wasn't the situation looking great, what could be wrong?

Luo Yu didn't explain but just said with a sneer:

"Old dogs are indeed crafty."

In the universe, the explosion of energy shattered the void, and various violent laws intertwined. If a Nineteenth Order powerhouse were to wander into their midst, they would likely be crushed by the forces of the laws in an instant, for the Nineteenth Order and the Ancestral Realm were not on the same level of existence.

Moreover, the Ancestral Realm powerhouses sent by the major forces were also holding Holy Artifacts that only Progenitor-level powerhouses would possess.

The original situation was the Seventh and the Nine Ancestors continuously showing signs of weakness, being beaten back step by step, on the verge of annihilation.

But as the Seventh Ancestor gave up on defense and desperately attacked Jian Chenzi and his partner, the situation began to change.

The Seventh Ancestor, with bloodshot eyes, waved the Ghostly Banner, its deathly aura overwhelming, cracking the void.

He said eerily like a fierce ghost:

"Jian Chenzi, we two shall not retreat today. Even if we cannot kill you, we will severely injure you before our deaths."

"Then, dead or not, you will lose the chance to compete for this ancient tree. You won't be able to stand against the others. You will either die or shamefully leave this place, giving up on the ancient tree."

"Despicable," Jian Chenzi squinted his eyes, furious yet helpless.

He didn't believe the two ancestors had the resolve to die here today, but he didn't dare to bet on it. Once the opponents truly went mad,

and if they severely injured him and his ally, indeed their outcome would not be good either.

"You guys help me block these two crazies!" Jian Chenzi shouted urgently and angrily at the other Ancestral Realm powerhouses from various forces.

King Tianwu and others not only had no intention of helping to block but instead accelerated their attacks, aiming to kill the Seventh and the Nine Ancestors while they were busy attacking Jian Chenzi. King Tianwu threw out the Jade Seal, which unfurled in the air and rapidly expanded, carrying a vast might like a falling star, hurtling towards the Seventh Ancestor.

"Damn your mother!"

"Playing tricks at a time like this."

Jian Chenzi was enraged and utterly gave up on continuing the fight.

"Join me in striking together, help these two old wall lamps withstand the attack."

Jian Chenzi shook the Godly Sword in his hand, summoning a sword aura dragon, and ceased attacking the Seventh Ancestor and his companion, instead starting to counter-roll towards King Tianwu and the others.

"Hahaha, indeed, this is how it should be."

The Seventh Ancestor laughed heartily, because the plot Luo Yu executed was an open strategy, and his was the same.

If he and the Ninth Ancestor truly desired death, although they might not be able to severely damage everyone, focusing their strength to severely injure two was still within their capabilities.

The other Ancestral Realm powerhouses also had an understanding, none wished to be the two selected, so they dared not come over to assist in defense.

After all, whoever was chosen would be completely out of the game.

The people of Soul Land, through the reflections of the Sky Reflecting Mirror, saw such a reversal of the situation and instantly came to a realization.

They understood the meaning behind Luo Yu's words just now.

Old thieves who had lived so many years, indeed not a single one was easy to outwit, and they had managed to resolve such a besiegement unto death.

As the fighting evolved into a melee within the universe, with the assistance of Jian Chenzi and another pair, the Seventh Ancestor and the Ninth Ancestor had the chance to recuperate.

Although they were still at a disadvantage, it wasn't like before where they were unilaterally slaughtered and suppressed.

"Damn it."

King Tianwu couldn't help but curse, having missed the opportunity just now to kill the Seventh Ancestor and the Ninth Ancestor, these two old weaklings.

The middle-aged man holding a gun also privately regretted; he not only planned to kill the Seventh Ancestor just now but also had prepared to stealth attack Jian Chenzi.

Having two less competitors, why not rejoice?

"Boom boom—"

Combat in the universe continued non-stop, injuries gradually appearing on every Ancestral Realm powerhouse present.

The Ghostly Banner covered a thousand miles, gusts of cold wind howled, and death energy boiled, dividing the battlefield for an instant.

The Seventh Ancestor bellowed:

"Currently, our battle is meaningless; a victor can't be determined in the short term."

"Why don't we first interrogate that little native, ascertain the origin and uses of this ancient tree, and then compete for it later."

"Otherwise, if we keep fighting like this, there will be casualties. Are you certain you'll be the one to survive?"

Luo Yu frowned, the old dog was indeed cunning, too adept at shaking people's hearts.

This bunch were all crafty, and wouldn't go all out without sufficient incentive.

Indeed, following the Seventh Ancestor's words, the pace of the Ancestral Realm powerhouses in the universe slowed down.

They had acted quickly just now thinking they had the chance to gang up and kill the Seventh Ancestor and the Ninth Ancestor but now that chance was gone, they were no longer eager to make the first move.

Powerhouses from the Ancestral Realm stopped fighting one by one, turning their gazes towards Soul Land, focusing on Luo Yu.

The people of Soul Land inwardly cried out, fearing the worst.

At the end of it all, it was still up to Luo Yu to face so many terrifying powerhouses alone; they had all witnessed the earlier battle.

Such forces were beyond human resistance.

The Seventh Ancestor sneered with a sinister laugh:

"Boy, you're like a mouse in a dark corner, still trying to scheme against me, an elder? In the face of absolute power, your little tricks are insignificant."

"Confess everything about the ancient tree's origins truthfully, and you can have a slower death. I, the elder, will take my time crushing you."

The other Ancestral Realm powerhouses were equally cold-blooded, their expressions foreboding.

Because Luo Yu had brazenly used them as pawns just now, they too had murderous thoughts, but it was just that they saw use in Luo Yu for the time being.

Facing the threatening gazes of the peak powerhouses, Luo Yu laughed, a relaxed and sinister laugh.

He rose to the ground, likewise ascending beyond the universe, directly confronting the many Ancestral Realm powerhouses…
