Chapter 1552 - 1528: Mr. Master Trapped in the Valley

"No problem, let's surround them. Maybe harass them a little, encircle them for half a year or a year, and starve them to death. By then, we can subdue them without a fight, haha..."

Ba Tianhu regained his confidence.

"Look, Mr. Master has never dared to leave the valley to challenge us, let alone step out to help Elder Qi and the others. I conclude that Mr. Master has not truly broken through to the Emperor Level Advanced Realm."

"Boss, since that's the case, when can we attack the Dark Web Headquarters Valley?"

"No rush, I'm waiting for an opportunity. When Yu Hai launches a full assault on the City of Hope, that's when we will capture the Dark Web Headquarters Valley in one stroke. This time, I will force Mr. Master to beg for mercy under my feet, and I will unveil Mr. Master's mask to see what kind of sacred being he truly is,

damn it, wearing that shabby cloak and mask all day, we don't even know the gender; it infuriates me."

Finally, Ba Tianhu awaited this day.

Yu Hai hurried to Sky Tiger City.

"Boss, I'm ready to launch a full assault on the City of Hope. We'll take it down tomorrow. Additionally, I've heard that Yang Xiao has returned to the City of Hope."

"Yang Xiao is not dead?"

"Haha, whether Yang Xiao is dead or not doesn't matter. The key now is to prevent Yang Xiao and Mr. Master from joining forces. We will vanquish them one by one,

you lead the army to attack the Dark Web Headquarters Valley, and I'll level the City of Hope, killing Yang Xiao,

from now on, I, Yu Hai, will follow you with the Alliance Army, and from this day forward, you, Boss, will be the true overlord of the Central Continent. Even Guo Jianglong and the pangolin will have to show you respect."

"Haha, Yu Hai, as long as you follow me faithfully in the future, I will never shortchange you. Yang Xiao's five cities will be merged into your City Alliance, and you will become a regional overlord."

"Thank you, Boss!"

"Remember, bring me Yang Xiao's head. That little brat is so arrogant. If Mr. Master hadn't stopped me back then, I would've killed Yang Xiao long ago."

Whenever Ba Tianhu thinks of past battles with Yang Xiao, he grinds his teeth in hatred.

When Yu Hai launched the battle on the City of Hope, Ba Tianhu led 100,000 troops to surround the Dark Web Headquarters Valley.

Although Ba Tianhu brought 100,000 troops, it was somewhat challenging to break through the Dark Web's Defense Light Screen.

The Defense Light Screen can resist attacks below the Emperor Level Realm. Ba Tianhu brought about twenty people above the Emperor Level Realm, and these twenty needed to break through the Defense Light Screen, enter the valley, and fight Mr. Master and others. Only by defeating Mr. Master and others could they activate the Defense Light Screen's mechanism.

However, the Dark Web had many strong individuals at the Emperor Level Realm.

In addition to Mr. Eight of Yang Xiao's, from Mr. Master to Mr. Seven, each was a strong figure at the Emperor Level Realm.

These seven Emperor Level Realm strong individuals were each formidable in combat, definitely not to be trifled with, especially Mr. Master.

Ba Tianhu's subordinates still vividly remembered the scene where Mr. Master used Frozen Nine Heavens to kill 5,000 guards last time, harboring a degree of awe within.

The top 100 assassins were also lurking in the valley, most of whom were Empire Level Peak experts, with the top three nearing a breakthrough to the Emperor Level Realm.

Additionally, the valley had Attack Sword Formations with combat power above the Emperor Level Realm.

Ba Tianhu's 100,000 warriors surrounded the valley, but for a moment, they were unable to breach it, leaving Ba Tianhu in a rather awkward position.

Ba Tianhu persisted for a day. With gritted teeth, he said:

"Brothers, we have twenty Emperor Level Realm strong individuals. Let's first break through the Defense Light Screen, enter the valley, and strive to break the Defense Light Screen's mechanism,

as long as we can open one gate of the valley, the troops can rush in and immediately break the stalemate, controlling the valley."

Thus, Ba Tianhu led the Emperor Level Realm strong individuals to break through the Defense Light Screen and attack the valley at midnight.

As soon as Ba Tianhu entered the valley, alarms blared, and three Attack Sword Formations within the valley activated. Three fierce killing auras slashed directly at Ba Tianhu and his men.

These were three Attack Sword Formations of the Emperor Middle Level Realm.

Mr. Seven, Mr. Six, and Mr. Five each controlled one Sword Array and launched a great battle against Ba Tianhu and his men.

Mr. Master also rushed out, engaged directly in combat with Ba Tianhu.

After exchanging over a dozen moves with Mr. Master, Ba Tianhu's confidence soared, and he laughed heartily:

"Mr. Master, why are you so weak this time? Turns out, you fooled me last time. Did you use a Dragon Blood Pill to temporarily elevate your Genetic Evolution Realm? Haha,

I have seen through your trickery. This time, I will certainly kill you."

Mr. Master said nothing, wielding an Ice Soul Sword, he attacked Ba Tianhu wildly with a hundred-meter-long extremely cold killing aura, forcing Ba Tianhu to retreat step by step.

However, after all, Mr. Master hadn't fully recovered from his injuries yet. After fifty rounds of battle, Mr. Master's offensive gradually slowed down.

Fortunately, within the valley, the three Attack Sword Formations above the Emperor Level Realm offered significant assistance. The twenty Emperor Level Realm experts entering the valley with Mr. Master, instead of breaking the Defense Light Screen's mechanism, had three killed by the Sword Arrays, and two severely injured.

Ba Tianhu had no choice but to temporarily retreat with his subordinates from the Defense Light Screen.

Mr. Master did not pursue, only requiring the sentry to remain alert around the clock, day and night, against Ba Tianhu's surprise attacks.

After that, Ba Tianhu became smarter, irregularly leading a dozen or so Emperor Level Realm strong individuals into the valley for surprise attacks. After a round of fighting, they would immediately flee. Sometimes they attacked for ten minutes, sometimes for half an hour, all based on specific circumstances.

Although the valley had three Attack Sword Formations of the Emperor Middle Level Realm, these Sword Arrays needed Emperor Level Realm experts to operate.

Mr. Master's forces were limited, constantly under surprise attacks, needing to defend tirelessly day and night, leaving the initiative of the war in Ba Tianhu's hands.

Days later, the people within the valley were very fatigued.

The Dark Web Headquarters Valley now had merely two thousand people, surrounded by ten thousand troops within the valley, unable to break out.

...

Ba Tianhu drank wine, standing outside the Defensive Light Curtain Gate, shouting curses:

"Dark Web scum, listen up, I will eliminate you this time. If you have the guts, stay in forever. I'll starve you to death, haha."

"Brothers, as long as we seal off the valley well and not let anyone inside out, in a month or two, they'll have no food, starving them, haha."

"Then, we don't even need to make a move; we'll just enter the valley to collect the corpses."

"Haha, for the Dark Web, which has dominated the Central Continent for thousands of years, to have such a day as well."

...

Ba Tianhu was very pleased. In his view, this time, he had Mr. Master firmly in his grasp.

Mr. Master quietly convened a meeting inside the valley, attended by dozens of high-ranking members.

"Everyone, we cannot be trapped inside the valley. With time, our food will be exhausted. Even without Ba Tianhu killing us, we'd starve to death within the valley. Does anyone have any ideas?"

"Mr. Master, didn't you use the Frozen Nine Heavens Divine Skill last time to easily kill 5,000 of their people? Can you showcase it once more?"
