BTTH: Master of Hall of Souls

Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Nine Gate Guarding Formation One Punch to Shatter the Array



Dark clouds covered the sky overhead

As Gu Hua looked up at the sudden mass of densely packed silhouettes that had appeared in the sky his face turned ashen

There were at least a thousand people They had completely surrounded his forces from the outside Worse still their high level combat strength was far superior to what he had brought with the Black Yan Army

of the nine Celestial Elders from the Soul Hall six had arrived on the scene along with two high rank Celestial Elders and two lesser ones who were at one or two star level

Two Dou Saints Nine Dou Venerates Nearly two hundred Dou Ancestors Over four hundred Dou Emperors The rest were all Dou Kings

This lineup might be ordinary within the Ancient Clan or across the entire Black Yan Army but here they were on enemy territory

Even a mighty dragon struggles when it leaves the waters and is stuck on land

Gu Hua began to feel regret Before departing the Grand Commander had especially warned him to be cautious in everything

Yet he had still misstepped

Now all he could do was stall for time until that supreme existence arrived

"You are the Hall Master of Soul Hall Hun Miesheng"

Gu Hua's expression grew heavy

The power of a Dou Saint stronger than his own and those cries of 'Hall Master' made it clear enough

If he still did not realize whom he had provoked then he truly was a fool

He had never met this Soul Hall Master in person but the man's deeds were well known

It was said this very man had annihilated a powerful clan that possessed a peak three star Dou Saint using his strength alone He was a name whispered in fear throughout Central Plains

"Second Commander of the Black Yan Army"

"Tsk tsk"

"Looks like you did not bring enough people"

Hun Miesheng stood with hands behind his back a mocking glint in his eyes

Gu Hua snorted coldly "Hun Miesheng I ask you plainly did Soul Hall abduct our young miss"

"As the Soul Clan's ruling force in Central Plains you must understand the importance of her safety This is a matter that will affect the relations between the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan"

"If our young miss was taken by you as long as she is returned unharmed I will immediately withdraw the army and this incident will be left in the past"

"But if this sparks conflict between our two clans the consequences are ones you absolutely cannot afford to bear"

Gu Hua inhaled slowly speaking each word with measured weight

Leave it in the past

Such pleasantries Only a fool would believe them

Hun Miesheng stared at Gu Hua then suddenly laughed

He opened his arms and his cold voice spread across the sky "If Soul Hall did not do it what will you do"

"If Soul Hall did do it what can you do"

A black palm reached out and with a series of thunderous cracks crushed several members of the Black Yan Army into pulp

Hun Miesheng clapped his hands nonchalantly

"Are you threatening me"

"Hun Miesheng you dare"

Gu Hua had not imagined that even after bringing up both clans Hun Miesheng would still kill people right before his eyes

The surrounding Soul Hall members burst into laughter

"If it was not your Soul Hall then I admit this was a mistake on my part"

Gu Hua clenched his fists and waved his sleeve "We are leaving"

Under another's roof one must bow their head

Next time when everything is prepared he would make sure this humiliation was repaid in full

The Black Yan Army began to retreat but black robed figures quickly closed in cutting off their path

Clap clap clap clap

Crisp applause rang out

Hun Miesheng chuckled

"You killed my men and hurt my woman and you think you can leave today"

He pulled Queen Medusa into his embrace gently wiping the blood from her lips

Queen Medusa had never witnessed such a grand scene and was still in a daze Suddenly being held by Hun Miesheng her face turned bright red

Hun Miesheng wore a devilish smile His immense aura spread out pressing down on every member of the Black Yan Army

Each of them felt as if a mountain of force had collapsed upon them Their hovering bodies sank and stumbled to the ground

Everyone was shocked

Even Gu Hua felt as if he had fallen into a muddy pit weighed down by tons of pressure

Gu Zhen and Yang Hao along with all the Dou Venerates of the Black Yan Army were caught off guard and slammed into the ground

The Celestial Elders of Soul Hall began to step forward toward the Black Yan Army

"I am the second commander of the Black Yan Army If you strike us it will be a declaration of war between the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan Can you afford such a consequence"

Gu Hua's face changed He truly did not believe Hun Miesheng would dare act

This was almost an entire squadron of the Black Yan Army If they were wiped out the Ancient Clan would rage

Cold sweat gathered on Gu Hua's forehead

"Whether I can afford it or not is not your concern"

"Because the dead do not speak"

At that moment Hun Miesheng uttered four words cold as ice

"Leave no one alive"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh

As the last word left his lips black chains shot through the sky piercing through dozens of Black Yan soldiers

Gu Hua's eyes went bloodshot He grabbed three nearby Soul Hall guards and ripped them apart

Seeing his men fall before his eyes he could no longer suppress his fury

He flew into the center of the Black Yan Army and released his three star Dou Saint aura to protect the remaining soldiers

With a roar he shouted "Form the Nine Gate Guarding Formation"

The soldiers shook off their suppression and quickly moved into place A mystical formation was formed with precise placement

Over three hundred had been separated and slaughtered on the spot

Blood covered the ground

The remaining seven hundred soldiers under Gu Hua's shield formed the battle formation

Though called a guarding formation it brimmed with killing intent It hid death within defense

The Dou Qi of the surrounding heavens and earth was drawn in covering several kilometers

A blood red mist flowed within

From a distance the formation looked like a golden turtle with a blood red python coiled within its shell fangs bared waiting for prey

Those from Soul Hall who entered vanished with no sound clearly meeting misfortune

The Celestial Elders knelt before Hun Miesheng

He waved his sleeve dismissing them

Gazing at the golden turtle shell ahead he sneered coldly

"Tricks of insects"

"Before absolute strength all is illusion"

He stepped through the air

His hand clenched into a fist

Dou Qi from miles around converged into a violent storm

Faint blue light surrounded his fist The gravity field of the Elemental Heavy Water condensed

Compressed further and further

Space twisted and buzzed

A cold glint flickered in Hun Miesheng's strange eyes

He suddenly threw a punch at the golden turtle shell

"Break"

With an earthshaking boom

The formation of over seven hundred soldiers and one Dou Saint exploded in an instant

The energy blast swept across tens of kilometers

The Black Yan Army was decimated Two figures turned into light and fled

"Trying to escape"

Hun Miesheng snorted A black chain shot forth

"No"

Yang Hao's eyes filled with terror He was pierced by the chain and burst apart

Just as the chain was about to pierce through Gu Zhen

A massive grey sword emerged from the void
