Chapter 281: Massacre of the City

Outside Baihu Pass, corpses were scattered all over the ground and blood dyed the earth red. A large number of corpses were floating in the outer moat. The battle on the city wall was still going on. The soldiers of the Holy Soul Empire and the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire were fighting a bloody battle over an area. The soldiers on both sides showed amazing quality and will.

In order to fight for a small area, the soldiers on both sides paid a huge price, and the city walls were almost stained with blood.

The soul masters of both sides fought to the death.

Although the soldiers of the Holy Soul Empire were brave, they were unable to take down the city walls or breach the city gates.

Di Yang looked at the battle at Baihu Pass with a not very good expression on his face. They had been attacking for several days in a row, but they still couldn't take Baihu Pass. He still underestimated Dai Yutian and the defensive will of the Xingluo army at Baihu Pass.

Ge Long withdrew his gaze and looked at Di Yang.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to take over. We will capture the White Tiger Pass today and capture the Emperor Xingluo alive."

He became a little anxious watching the battle on the city wall. Although the attacks had been fierce over the past few days, no spirit master at the Titled Douluo level had come up. He felt that if there were any spirit masters at the Titled Douluo level, White Tiger Pass would have been taken down by now.

It is even said that if Dugu Bo was allowed to go, they would have taken Baihu Pass on the first day.

Not only Ge Long was anxious, even Dugu Bo, Yue Guan and Gui Mei were a little anxious. They had basically not contributed anything since the war started, especially Dugu Bo, who had not taken any action since the war started.

Looking at the huge Netherworld White Tiger on the city wall, he wished he could go over and kill it right now.

The martial soul fusion technique performed by Dai Yutian and his queen together really caused them a lot of trouble.

Di Yang withdrew his gaze and his expression returned to normal.

"withdraw troops."

After saying this, he reined in his horse and turned to leave. Ge Long was somewhat helpless. Since the emperor had given the order, he could only carry it out.

As the horn sounded to retreat, the soldiers and soul masters who were attacking the city began to retreat in an orderly manner, and the army waiting on the plain also slowly retreated.

The Xing Luo soldiers and soul masters on the city wall cheered upon seeing this. They held on for another day. Dai Yutian, who had dissolved his martial soul fusion, couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief as he watched the Holy Soul Army retreat.

"Finally retreated."

They fought for the entire morning today. The soldiers of the Holy Soul Empire were desperate. If one died, ten more would rush forward.

Although he breathed a sigh of relief, he did not let down his guard. Although the Holy Soul Army retreated today, he was afraid that tomorrow's offensive would be even more fierce. He immediately ordered the repair of the city wall. As long as they could defend the White Tiger Pass, the Xing Luo Empire would not perish.

After withdrawing the troops back to the camp, Di Yang sat alone in the big tent. Outside, Ge Long and other generals were waiting there. They wanted to go in but did not dare to.

They had been going smoothly since the beginning of the war, but they suffered a setback at Baihu Pass, suffering heavy casualties. However, they just couldn't take it, and even the city gates could not be breached. If this continued, it would deal a heavy blow to their morale. Moreover, if the situation continued for a long time, resistance forces might appear in the Xingluo territory they occupied, which would be very unfavorable to their logistics at that time.

After a long while, Di Yang came out.

Looking at the generals, he said calmly: "Senior Dugu, please stay for a while, and the others can go back and prepare for tomorrow's attack."

Ge Long and the others didn't say anything. They saluted and left. They knew that Di Yang had made a decision, otherwise he would not have let Dugu Bo stay.

Walking into the big tent, Dugu Bo said: "Your Majesty, you finally made a decision. I thought I was useless."

He was recruited by Di Hong just for this day, but he has never played until now. He even doubted whether he was useless.

Di Yang felt helpless.

"There is no other way. If we fail to take White Tiger Pass, it will have a huge impact on the morale of the army in the long run." "And the martial soul fusion skills of Dai Yutian and his queen are enough to rival one or two Title Douluo-level soul masters."

"So I'll have to trouble Senior Dugu."

"Don't worry." When it comes to using poison, Dugu Bo thinks that there are probably few people in the entire Douluo Continent who are better than him. It can even be said that there is no second person better than him.

Then he left to get ready.

Late at night.

The night was quiet, with a breeze blowing and a faint smell of blood in the air. Soldiers were patrolling back and forth on the city wall. Some soldiers looked up at the sky. The weather was very bad tonight, the moonlight was blocked, and there were no stars in the sky. Looking down from the city wall, it was dark and nothing could be seen clearly.

On a plain not far from Baihu Pass, a dark green giant snake was slowly wandering towards Baihu Pass. The snake moved very lightly, trying hard to make the noise it made smaller. Thanks to God tonight, the soldiers on the city wall could not see it at all.

When they arrived at Baihu Pass, the giant snake disappeared. Dugu Bo jumped over the moat and came to the bottom of the city wall. Then he jumped onto the city wall again and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"Ok?"

A Xing Luo soldier seemed to have noticed something and looked towards the place where Dugu Bo disappeared.

"What's wrong?" asked the person next to him.

The soldier said.

"There seems to be some movement."

Then he sniffed again.

“There’s a bad smell in the air.”

The soldiers beside him didn't care.

"Isn't this normal? We've been fighting for so many days, and there's no telling how many bodies are left under the city. It's normal to have a bad smell."

"That's right." The soldier also cared.

In the darkness, two dark green lights were staring at the front. Dugu Bo sneered, and then a misty green gas emanated from his whole body. The green gas began to spread to the entire Baihu Pass. The Xingluo soldier closest to Dugu Bo immediately let out a scream. He was bleeding from all seven orifices and was in great pain. His blood was not red, but green.

In the blink of an eye, the Xingluo soldiers near Dugu Bo fell down one after another, and the Green Scaled Snake King poison began to spread to the entire White Tiger Pass with the wind. Wherever it went, all the soldiers who came into contact with the poison died painfully without exception. The movement on the city wall soon alarmed the defenders and soul masters in the city.

However, it was too late, the poison had already spread, and wherever it passed, Xingluo's soldiers fell down in large numbers. Wherever the poison passed, not a single Xingluo soldier or soul master survived.

Dai Yutian was also alarmed. He walked out and saw the tragic scene in front of him and was immediately horrified.

Then he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to stay away from the poisonous fog, but it was too late. Looking from the hillside outside the city, the entire Baihu Pass was shrouded in green poisonous fog.

Di Yang looked at Baihu Pass in the distance, pursed his lips but said nothing, while Ge Long, Shen Yi and others were a little frightened.

"This old poisonous creature can really destroy a city with one move." Yue Guan knew Dugu Bo quite well, but now it seems that he still underestimated Dugu Bo.

"I'm afraid that after daybreak, there will be few survivors in Baihu Pass." The ghost shook his head. It only took less than one night to massacre hundreds of thousands of people. It was too horrifying.
