Chapter 1879: Chapter 1879: Decisive Victory

"Fire."

Bang, bang, bang.

At the command, heavy machine guns and cannons placed on the front, left, and right sides simultaneously opened fire, these are heavy armaments on the battlefield, aimed at armored vehicles with thick armor, yet now, this firepower was directed at humans. Even cultivators would find it hard to withstand such strong firepower. If they were masters of the Body Integration Realm or Divine Separation, they might be able to handle it with ease, but among the thousands here, how many masters could there be?

The firepower from the machine guns and cannons was fierce, soon a large heap of people were hit and fell to the ground. With so many standing densely together, it was simply a massacre. Ye Shikai didn’t soften; the Underworld is inherently like this, the winner becomes king, the loser is a bandit. If Ye Shikai lost today, no one would sympathize with him...

Kill.

Doris led the others to break through to the rear, but Ji Qian was already well-prepared. These were the elite of the Three Temples, long ambushed in the woods, waiting leisurely for the moment. Although Doris had many people, their morale was already lost, they rushed forward recklessly, naturally suffering significant losses.

"Ignore everyone else, directly take Doris’ life." Ye Shikai ordered, the crowd immediately surged forward. Having set a pocket formation here earlier, now was time to close the net. The retreat was cut off, the remaining three sides enclosed, causing heavy losses for Doris’ people. The gunboats outside couldn’t pinpoint, offered no help, Doris wielded a trident, confronting Ji Qian.

"Moon God Spell - Falling Star."

"White Mist Army, protect the young lady." Chen Ligong was worried Doris might harm Ji Qian, and immediately shielded her, but Doris had exceptional prowess, even White Mist Army lost over a dozen people.

"I’ll assist in battle." The Demoness and Ghost stepped forward to join the fight, along with Ji Qian and Chen Ligong, four combined forces against Doris. With White Mist Army beside, the sides seemed to be in stalemate.

"Doris, at this point, are you still planning to resist?"

"We’ll see if you can stop me." Doris wielded the trident, picked up a stone from the ground, threw it hard, instantly raising dust everywhere.

"Quick, don’t let Doris escape." Ji Qian dared not be careless, taking advantage of the chaos, Doris suddenly broke through, killed two White Mist Army members and several Hidden Guards, broke through from the gap in the team.

"Damn it."

"Young lady, this Doris is extremely powerful, it’s best not to chase." Chen Ligong feared Ji Qian couldn’t match Doris, rushing could lead to injuries, he advised caution.

"Lord Moon God, Ghost and I will lead people to pursue." The Demoness suggested.

"No need, none of you are her match, even if you catch up, it’s likely you still can’t defeat her." Ji Qian waved her hand, feeling reluctant, but Doris had already broken through, South America was Sea King Palace’s territory, capturing her now was an impossibility.

"Alright then, let’s capture these people first." The Demoness pointed to the people of Sea King Palace. With Doris escaping alone, they were already disarrayed, adding encirclement from all sides, soon fell into chaos; even with thousands of people, they were powerless.

"Anyone present willing to surrender, I may spare your lives." Ye Shikai shouted, most dropped their weapons and raised their hands. They were surrounded, surrounded by masters, also blocked by heavy firepower, besides Sea King Palace’s loyalists fighting to the end, most surrendered.

"Raise hands and surrender."

"Quickly surrender."

"Lord, Doris led loyalists charged out of the encirclement from the east, judging from this direction, she seems to be returning to Sea King Palace." Nightmare reported.

"Alright, I know. We arranged so many initially, but they could only handle ordinary cultivators, for such an exceptional talent like Doris, still couldn’t defend." Ye Shikai expected this, didn’t command pursuit.

"Let’s go, back to camp." Ye Shikai said casually.

"Yes."

Deep night, cultivator camp.

This camp was chosen earlier by Ye Shikai, 30 kilometers from Sea King Palace, surrounded by flat ground, many tents set up here. Though they defeated Doris today, Three Temples’ strength also suffered losses; though Ye Shikai arranged beforehand, most who died under gunboat bombing were alliance members from various organizations, Three Temples’ elite were all ambushed in the woods, but Doris’ desperate resist still caused significant losses for Three Temples, and everyone was very tired.

"Haha, today the plan of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind worked well, Doris’ people lost seventy to eighty percent, majority surrendered to us." Wang Kai appeared very excited, today he fought heartily. He didn’t spare any from Sea King Palace, as revenge for War God Temple’s fallen brothers. Of course, the one he most desired to kill was Doris, only killing her would settle a matter of his heart.

"Indeed, the Lord devised everything, allowing us an easy victory, fighting Doris at Sea King Palace’s doorstep, forcing her into retreat."

"This time our bitter meat strategy, was unexpectedly easily bought by Doris, seems she’s just so-so." Everyone was thrilled, this bout from Doris’ encirclement to Three Temples’ counter-encirclement was a classic example of strategy within a strategy. The outcome as expected, Doris defeated, though returning to Sea King Palace now, given her current power, hard to resist Three Temples’ full assault.

Among the crowd, contrasting atmosphere was Emily, appearing slightly anxious. Ye Shikai previously ordered her to come to South America, under Doris’ temptation, she chose betrayal. If not for Soul Destroyer, Doris’ plot might have succeeded. Although Three Temples’ victory today was due in part to Emily’s fake betrayal in the "strategy within a strategy", her anxiety was whether Ye Shikai would burn bridges after crossing, as betrayal often isn’t trusted. Some choose elimination to prevent crucial moment issues.

"Emily, this time we owe much to you." Ye Shikai suddenly said.

"What did you say?" Emily didn’t react, all eyes on her, made her uneasy.

"Without you, we wouldn’t succeed so easily. From now on, you’re an ally of Three Temples, no need to be on tenterhooks daily." Ye Shikai understood her worry, the fear of burning bridges is common, Emily’s concern was reasonable. If not for Soul Destroyer, she’d truly be a traitor, and Ye Shikai wouldn’t be lenient with traitors.
