The Bodyguard King's CEO Wife

Chapter 1877: Chapter 1877: Preemptive Ambush

"Good."

"Victory is assured."

Thousands cheered; this was a great battle. A confrontation of this scale could only happen within the ruins, as it was to contest scarce cultivation resources. Outside, it was nearly impossible for such battles to happen. The reason is simple: no one would risk their entire fortune in such a gamble. It’s simply "high-stakes gambling." If lost, you have nothing left. Of course, if won, you gain quite the fortune.

Generally, even the Main God wouldn’t gamble their entire wealth to clash head-on with another party. Such moves are likely to bring no gain, or even lead to self-destruction. However, the Three Temples have declared war with great fanfare this time, which has caused the entire Underworld to "boil over."

"Amy, Old Wang, Nightmare, each of you lead a team with me to the agreed location."

"Everyone else, act according to prior arrangements, each fulfilling their role."

"Yes."

"Yes."

Nightmare had already prepared the vehicles in advance. After all, there are three to four thousand people here, and faced with the impending battle, everyone seemed not to fear at all, but was rather excited.

"Emily, what are you thinking about?" On the vehicle, Ye Shikai chose to sit beside Emily. She seemed a bit uneasy.

"Nothing."

"The battle is about to commence, are you nervous?" Ye Shikai asked back.

"A little bit. After all, Doris is the strongest among the Main Gods. Even three of me wouldn’t be able to defeat her." Emily showed a worried expression. Indeed, Doris’s power was undeniable. When she attacked the War God Temple, she seriously injured Wang Kai. If it weren’t for his trusted aides offering their lives to shield him, Wang Kai would have perished there. Moreover, Ye Shikai had fought with Doris multiple times, never gaining any advantage. This shows her combat power is not something an ordinary Main God can challenge.

"Don’t worry. Since they agreed to the duel, we can fight unreservedly. No matter how strong Doris is, she is not our match."

"Yes."

"Master, we are almost there," Nightmare said casually. The agreed location was ahead, bordered by a river on one side and a forest on the other, with flat terrain in between, designated for the battle.

"Alright, everyone get out and prepare for the final showdown."

"Yes."

"Yes."

Thousands arrived at the designated flat ground, but there was no one else around. According to the agreed timing, Doris’s people should have arrived too.

"Master, I feel something is off here. It’s too quiet," Nightmare felt a surge of unease. This was not the atmosphere before a battle. Ye Shikai felt the same; it was too quiet. Their position was also quite exposed.

"Nightmare, Old Wang, Emily, each of you take a team and guard three directions. I will personally lead a team in the middle. I want to see what trick Doris is attempting."

"Yes."

"Yes."

Boom.

Suddenly, a loud explosion sounded next to Ye Shikai. A shell fell, instantly reducing several people to dust.

Boom, boom, boom.

Immediately after, a barrage of artillery flew over. These were heavy weapons, even cultivators found it hard to withstand. Soon, people were blown up by shells.

"Boss, look at the river," Nightmare said, pointing to the river beside. Suddenly, over twenty armed vessels appeared, small in tonnage but equipped with small rocket launchers.

"Old Ye, someone is attacking," Wang Kai shouted loudly. Thousands from both ends were attacking, not only members of the Sea King Palace but also others who had pledged allegiance to Doris’s organization.

"War God Spell — Sweeping Storm." Wang Kai led a team charging directly like a God of Slaughter, killing all in their path. Very quickly, crimson filled their eyes. At the same time, the vessels on the river continued to fire, Ye Shikai’s team suffered heavy casualties, and morale began to decline. Among both camps, most were there for the alliance. Once at a disadvantage, they quickly lost morale.

"Doris." Ye Shikai spotted Doris in the crowd; she was at the back, watching the fierce battle of thousands without entering the fray.

"Everyone, focus your attack forward."

"Kill."

Ye Shikai also led a team charging straight ahead. Among the people, most were cultivators engaged in a fierce battle, but also suffering heavy losses...

"Master, we are losing heavily, those gunboats are continuously bombarding us, and we are at a disadvantage. If we continue fighting like this, we might be defeated," Nightmare said hurriedly. He never imagined Sea King Palace would gather so many people, surpassing the Three Temples.

"Doris set an ambush here beforehand, those gunboats are part of it. We can’t bring heavy weapons, so we can’t deal with the gunboats. This is flat ground with no cover, we are sitting ducks," Ye Shikai said coldly.

"Hades is right there, ignore others, target his life directly." At this moment, Doris spotted Ye Shikai in the crowd, wielding a trident and rushing rapidly, leading a team of elite troops, quickly breaking through the defenses.

"Master, Doris’s target is you. You should lead the team to retreat into the forest. Leave this to me."

"No, you are not her opponent. I will cover you, lead the team to retreat into the forest." Not waiting for Nightmare to respond, Ye Shikai charged out directly, holding the Netherworld Blade in one hand and You Xi Sword in the other, wielding two Supreme Divine Weapons, with Hidden Guard closely following.

"Hades, we meet again. I thought you had died on the Holy Mountain," Doris sneered.

"If you haven’t died, how could I?" Ye Shikai gestured, "Having agreed to a duel and set up an ambush, are you as a Main God this sly?"

"As long as I can defeat you, any method is justifiable."

"Alright then, if you wish for my life, come take it."

Boom.

Both unleashed their Inner Strength and delivered FATAL STRIKEs. The collision energy among the three Divine Artifacts was enough to blow away all surrounding cultivators. Ye Shikai felt a burning sensation in his chest, already tasting blood...

Sure enough, Doris’s strength had improved, otherwise she couldn’t have fended him off. However, Ye Shikai wasn’t flustered; wielding sword and blade proficiently, the Netherworld Blade and You Xi Sword inherently contained strong murderous and ominous energy. As long as Ye Shikai’s killing intent persisted, the blade’s edge and Sword Power wouldn’t weaken, instead becoming stronger. After a hundred rounds, Doris could only defend.

"I didn’t expect you could wield both Divine Artifacts at once. Hades, I’ve underestimated you."
