As the Spirit Hall Soul Masters began to rout on a large scale, the entire battlefield was completely turned around.
In the center of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's plaza, Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo were still in charge, constantly arranging various actions for all personnel, including pursuing the Spirit Hall Soul Masters, sorting out internal Sect personnel, summarizing personnel losses within the Sect, and so on. Of course, the Spirit Hall had set many fires in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the early stages, and just extinguishing the fires was quite troublesome.
Lin Gong stayed by Yang Xiong's side, surrounded by countless Purple Emperor Bamboo. Yang Xiong's situation was quite special now, and it was unknown how long it would take for him to fully recover. If he were disturbed by others, it could truly be dangerous.
The others began to pursue the fleeing Spirit Hall personnel, even forming a pincer attack.
Especially the Three Single Attribute Families, under the leadership of Yang Wudi and Niu Gao, were like tigers released from their cages at this moment, completely unleashing themselves to hunt down the Spirit Hall personnel.
The Three Single Attribute Families and the Spirit Hall had a deep-seated hatred for each other. Now that they had such an excellent opportunity, how could they not pursue them?
Sword Douluo also pursued the two Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall, but unfortunately, both Demon Bear Douluo and Kite Falcon Douluo were too fast in their escape.
If a Titled Douluo used all their strength to escape, it would be difficult to truly kill them unless they were surrounded and attacked from all sides.
Kite Falcon Douluo's Martial Soul was the Flame Eagle, which possessed extremely fast flying ability. At this moment, disregarding his injuries, he had pushed his flying speed to the extreme and was running too fast.
Demon Bear Douluo also disregarded his injuries and flew towards the Spirit Hall with all his might, seemingly fleeing for his life.
In the end, Sword Douluo was also helpless. Since he couldn't pursue the opposing Titled Douluo, he would just slaughter more of the ordinary Soul Masters who had come to attack.
Sword Douluo summoned countless Sword Qi, and the sky was like a massive sword rain, instantly killing countless Black-Clothed Soul Masters.
The entire battle lasted for two hours before the remaining Spirit Hall personnel finally mostly escaped, leaving behind countless corpses.
However, after the war, Ning Fengzhi listened to various reports with extreme seriousness.
Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had achieved an unprecedented great victory this time, under any circumstances, there would be no true victor in war, especially when facing the attacking Spirit Hall Soul Master legion.
Even though the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had received the news in advance this time, due to the extreme haste, many people died in the first wave of attack.
The loss of Soul Masters was between seven and eight hundred, accounting for nearly 20% of the entire Sect's personnel. What was even more troublesome was that bad news kept coming from the 10% of disciples who were out on business.
According to this situation, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had a total of about five thousand Soul Masters, and the overall loss was estimated to be a little over one thousand, with the Sect's loss ratio exceeding 20%.
The loss of one thousand Soul Masters was only a part of the loss. More ordinary people within the Sect were lost, including many children and women.
Not to mention that after the extensive destruction, the entire Sect was like being in a sea of fire, and the various losses were countless. If calculated in terms of money, it would be an astronomical figure.
In comparison, the number of Soul Masters lost by the Spirit Hall was even more exaggerated. In the early stages, Dugu Bo and Sword Douluo killed a large number, and in the later stages, Sword Douluo pursued and killed many more. Just from the corpses, there were already over six thousand, and many corpses were directly shattered, or turned into ashes, not to mention the severely injured Soul Masters who escaped.
But even so, Ning Fengzhi stayed up all night in the plaza, dealing with various matters within the Sect.
As for why he was in the plaza, on the one hand, as the backbone of the Sect, he gave confidence to everyone. On the other hand, there were indeed too many things in the Sect. After the great battle, everyone was almost physically and mentally exhausted and needed absolute leadership and control, otherwise, it would be easy for the tree to fall and the monkeys to scatter, especially for an auxiliary Sect like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
After a full night, Yang Xiong's body seemed to gradually undergo a transformation. The killing intent on his body became stronger and stronger, as if he were a malevolent spirit that had walked out of hell.
His entire body actually rapidly absorbed the energy in the air, and the originally broken three Soul Bones actually began to gradually grow back.
When Yang Xiong woke up again, it was already the next morning.
Yang Xiong looked around. Besides Lin Gong, Sword Douluo was also sitting beside him with his eyes closed, resting. In addition, his parents and elder brother were also sitting beside him.
His elder brother, Yang Wei, was immediately overjoyed: "Little Xiong, you've finally woken up. You looked too scary."
Yang Xiong only felt that his whole body was incredibly sore, as if all the bones in his body had been crushed, but they had also rapidly grown back.
Especially when Yang Xiong examined his body, he felt as if his body had broken through some kind of limit, and his soul power had also reached level seventy. He looked much stronger than before.
"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Teacher Lin, Sword Douluo Teacher, I should be fine now. Thank you for your concern."
After everyone offered comfort, especially after Sword Douluo and Lin Gong carefully examined Yang Xiong's body, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Xiong's condition after the battle yesterday was indeed too strange, seemingly deviating from the normal circumstances of the Soul Master world.
Ning Fengzhi truly relaxed when he saw Yang Xiong recover.
Yang Xiong quickly asked, "Sect Leader, what were the losses for our Sect yesterday?"
Ning Fengzhi sighed, "Although our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect achieved a great victory, including the disciples who were out on business, the estimated losses exceed a thousand people. In addition, countless ordinary people and children were lost, and the financial losses are immeasurable. Looking at this situation, it might not recover even after ten years."
Yang Xiong was also startled. He hadn't expected that even with so many deployments, the battle for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be so tragic.
However, no matter what, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect still won this great battle and was not truly crippled.
Especially Sword Douluo did not lose an arm and upgrade like in the original work, and his path of cultivation was not cut off. Perhaps in the future, there is truly hope for further advancement.
Yang Xiong thought for a long time before speaking, "Sect Leader, please accept my condolences. Although we suffered some losses this time, Spirit Hall should have suffered greater losses. They should not have the ability to launch large-scale wars again in the short term."
Ning Fengzhi nodded, "That is indeed the case. Just counting the bodies of the black-clothed individuals who attacked us, we estimate no less than six thousand people. Adding those who were shattered by soul skills or directly turned into ashes, their casualties are probably no less than seven thousand."
"No matter how powerful Spirit Hall is, they cannot organize so many people in the short term. This time, they will probably need a long period of rest to recover."
"Especially since Spirit Hall lost two Titled Douluo this time. This is what truly crippled Spirit Hall."
Yang Xiong was a little curious, "Sect Leader, which two Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall were killed? Demon Bear Douluo should have escaped, right?"
Yang Xiong secretly hoped that Demon Bear Douluo had not died. Although he had lost to Demon Bear Douluo today, as long as he cultivated harder, he could completely surpass Demon Bear Douluo in three to five years at most, and even kill Demon Bear Douluo without assistance.
One must know that Yang Xiong was able to fight Demon Bear Douluo to a draw this time, in addition to Ning Fengzhi's ultimate support, there was also Oscar's Beyond the Limit Emerald Green Sausage. Otherwise, with Yang Xiong's level 69 soul power, it would be impossible to fight against a Titled Douluo.
One must know that in a normal battle, Yang Xiong considered himself to have barely Titled Douluo level combat power, but when it came to a life-and-death struggle, Titled Douluo would display extremely terrifying strength. Just as his teachers said, every Titled Douluo in the Douluo world not only has exceptional talent, but also top-tier Martial Souls and perseverance beyond ordinary people, and even many opportunities. All aspects are indispensable.
Ning Fengzhi rarely showed a hint of a smile, "Little Xiong, don't worry, Demon Bear Douluo escaped. Although Uncle Sword chased him all the way, that guy disregarded the besieged army and has already fled back to Spirit Hall."
"Given time, you will definitely be able to personally defeat Demon Bear Douluo and avenge today's defeat."
Yang Xiong gritted his teeth, "Sect Leader, teachers, please rest assured, next time I will definitely be able to personally kill Demon Bear Douluo and absolutely avenge today's single move humiliation."
Ning Fengzhi hesitated for a while before speaking, "Little Xiong, what do you think we should arrange for our Sect now?"
A hint of confusion appeared on Yang Xiong's face, "Sect Leader, haven't we already repelled the enemies of Spirit Hall? What else needs to be arranged?"
A wry smile appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face, "Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect suffered too heavy losses in this battle. If it weren't for you and Yang Wudi coming to our aid, plus your previous multiple deployments, our losses would have been truly great."
"Now we are severely weakened. Although there are still four thousand Soul Masters in the Sect, if Spirit Hall is so covetous, I'm afraid our days ahead will not be easy."
"So I plan to move the Sect into Heaven Dou City. At that time, we can rely on each other with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, which will allow us to recover our strength as quickly as possible."
Yang Xiong's mouth twitched when he heard this. How could the situation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect be infinitely better than in the original work, yet Ning Fengzhi still wanted to move the Sect to Heaven Dou City?
Moreover, according to the plot of the original work, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect originally suffered heavy losses in Spirit Hall's Soul Hunting Operation, and was tricked by Qian Renxue during the Heaven Dou Palace Coup. The remaining Soul Masters were hit again, and the Sect's power declined repeatedly.
Even because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was too deeply involved with the Heaven Dou Empire, they basically became the main force in the final battlefield. During this process, there were definitely huge losses, and even Sword Bone Douluo ultimately perished.
Yang Xiong thought carefully before speaking, "Sect Leader, have you considered that if our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is so large and truly moves to Heaven Dou City, it might not be so easy to get along with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family?"
"The Heaven Dou Imperial Family currently doesn't have their own top experts, which is why they rely heavily on our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If one day they have multiple Titled Douluo themselves, conflicts and mutual suspicion are likely to arise between the two sides, and then we will be in trouble."
"You should know that the Heaven Dou Empire has also been fully cultivating Soul Masters over the years. Although they lack top-tier Soul Masters, the number of ordinary Soul Masters in the Heaven Dou Imperial Family is not less than ours. If they turn against us one day, we might not even be able to escape."
Yang Xiong said this after careful consideration. Since ancient times, although the Imperial Family and Sects have had some involvement, no Sect has ever had such an unusually close relationship with the Imperial Family as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is currently relatively wealthy and in its prime, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect declines slightly one day, it will likely be completely swallowed by the Imperial Family.
Ning Fengzhi immediately became extremely serious when he heard this, especially after hearing Yang Xiong's subsequent words, his expression changed drastically.
