Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 391: A Crushing Defeat and Escape

The old man had a wizened face and wore a gorgeous black robe, adorned with glittering golden runes.

Over the robe was a large white cloak, creating a stark contrast with the black underneath, its hood pulled over his head.

In his right hand, he held a staff, its entire body a blend of three colors: black, white, and gold. These three colors intertwined, with black representing pure death, gold representing sacred light, and white holding the most mystery.

The three-colored metals spiraled upwards, forming this magical staff, topped with a massive crystal carved into a skull shape, entirely white, yet devoid of any sinister or terrifying aura.

To minimize any unforeseen events, Huo Yuhao had also invited Iilex.

"Let's begin."

The scroll didn't fall; it unfurled in the sky, revealing a landscape painting of mountains and rivers on its opened pages.

The moment the Mountain and River Divine Map unfurled, Iilex felt as if he was about to be forcibly drawn into it, but fortunately, Mountain Dragon King controlled the map, stabilizing it in time.

Iilex continued to arrange the formation, centered on the Mountain and River Divine Map, targeting the Abyss Passage, covering an area of ten miles.

When the formation was complete, black, white, and gold hues painted the entire array, and the opposing forces of sacred light and darkness appeared simultaneously, in a rare harmony.

Instead of canceling each other out, they emitted an even more powerful force for unknown reasons.

The formation was complete, radiating brilliant light, eclipsing the sun and moon, and the residents of the Sun Moon Empire turned their gazes towards it.

Some wore worried expressions, knowing that today was the day the Douluo Continent would counterattack the Abyss, and no one knew if anything unexpected would occur.

In the Abyss Plane, the three gods were completely at a disadvantage in their battle against the Abyss Sage Emperor.

Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer was already battered and broken, and Gu Yuena had sustained multiple injuries.

The Abyss Sage Emperor charged in, wielding the Heaven Sage Abyss Splitter Halberd, Huo Yuhao retreated, while simultaneously sweeping out with the Golden Dragon Spear.

Clang!

Shriek!

The Heaven Sage Abyss Splitter Halberd was struck by the Golden Dragon Spear, its direction altered, grazing Huo Yuhao's forearm.

As they distanced themselves again, Huo Yuhao clearly saw a massive gash on his left arm, exposing not just the whitened bone, but also a gash on the bone itself.

With this, Huo Yuhao's one arm was crippled.

Instantly, his flesh was a bloody mess, and what vexed Huo Yuhao even more was the Abyss Sage Emperor's residual divine power in his left arm.

That divine weapon was truly formidable. Looking at the fallen sleeve fragments on the ground, Huo Yuhao frowned. The clothes he wore were no ordinary garments, but a manifestation of his divine weapon, the Evil God Thorn.

Indeed, there was still a gap between a Rank Two God and a Rank One God. Even with a super divine weapon, he was no match for the Abyss Sage Emperor.

This wasn't Huo Yuhao putting on an act; it was a difference in raw power. He and Tang Hao were truly being brutally beaten by the Abyss Sage Emperor.

In the arena, only Gu Yuena hadn't yet unleashed her true strength.

"Prosper with obedience, perish with defiance. This is your last chance."

The Abyss Sage Emperor approached step by step, wielding the Heaven Sage Abyss Splitter Halberd, exuding immense pressure.

Tang Hao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes darting about. He had already realized that the three of them were no match for the Abyss Sage Emperor. He had been a bit too hasty.

Tang Hao was already contemplating retreat when suddenly, he sharply turned his head.

All he saw was the fluctuating space. Huo Yuhao's figure had vanished without a trace.

"Heh heh, it seems your teammate is a bit unreliable," the Abyss Sage Emperor's mocking voice echoed.

Whoosh!

Gu Yuena also ran.

"Damn it, two wastes!"

Tang Hao cursed, but his body was exceptionally honest, also fleeing.

"Want to run? Dream on!" The Abyss Sage Emperor sneered, transforming into a streak of light and pursuing them.

The eighth layer of the Abyss, also the location of the plane passage, was in the midst of chaotic battle.

The vast ocean flooded the entire battlefield, washing away the densely packed Abyss creatures like ants in the rain.

The Demon Empress effortlessly crushed an Abyss Emperor, and the sea beneath her continued to rise. She was the center of the entire ocean, single-handedly preventing all Abyss creatures (cannon fodder) from advancing.

The Abyss main force, led by the Spirit Emperor along with the Emperors from the first thirty-six layers, bitterly resisted the Snow Empress and Niu Tian Titan.

It was because of their existence that the Douluo Continent side could steadily maintain the advantage. Di Tian and the Evil Empress charged through the Abyss Emperors, unstoppable.

Abyss creatures could revive, and they couldn't be completely killed, but that didn't mean their efforts were useless. At least, these guys would need a long time to revive, and that was enough.

War was impossible without deaths. In a short time, several Title Douluos on the Douluo Continent side had already fallen, buried in the mouth of the Abyss.

Space cracked open, and a pale-faced Huo Yuhao leaped out, instantly entering the plane passage.

The battlefield was extremely chaotic, and few noticed, but among them were three god-level powerhouses, including Niu Tian Titan and the Snow Empress.

Before they could think too much, Gu Yuena and Tang Hao followed in Huo Yuhao's footsteps, fleeing.

Quick, their movements were so quick that few could clearly see that they had already escaped.

"Withdraw, withdraw quickly!"

Tang Hao roared with all his might towards Titan, Niu Tian, and the elders of the Clear Sky Sect as he left.

As soon as he finished shouting, Tang Hao saw the Abyss Sage Emperor chasing after him, wielding the Heaven Sage Abyss Splitter Halberd.

Terrified, Tang Hao plunged into the plane passage, scurrying away in fear.

Niu Tian, Titan, and the Douluo Continent powerhouses were dumbfounded. What was happening? Their leader had run away, leaving them behind?

The Abyss Sage Emperor didn't care about the lives of his subordinates at all. They could revive anyway. What was most important now was to press the attack and beat a drowning dog.

Those three were indeed no match for him, but if they returned and had the home-field advantage, it would be troublesome.

This was a rare opportunity, so it was best to kill them while they were heavily injured.

At the very least, he had to kill one, otherwise, after they recovered and healed, it would be a long war of attrition again.

Thinking this, the Abyss Sage Emperor didn't hesitate, throwing himself into the plane passage and stepping onto the Douluo Continent.

On the other side, Huo Yuhao passed through the exit and returned to the Douluo Continent, seeing that Iilex had already set up the formation as planned.

Huo Yuhao entered the formation, turned back to look at the plane passage, and silently counted down. If the Abyss Sage Emperor didn't chase after him, he would have to go back to support them, otherwise, the Snow Empress and the others would be doomed.
