Chapter 3782
In the Ironblood Group, Jiang Wuyue, lying in bed and in a stupor, slightly fluttered his eyelashes and opened his eyes…
"Cough cough..."
Jiang Qiyue, who was staying nearby, hurriedly said, "Brother, you're awake? How's your body feeling?"
Jiang Wuyue glanced at his bandage-covered body, his expression somewhat desolate…
He was actually defeated in a duel by a new recruit!
And it was a recruit who was much younger than him, something he simply couldn't accept!
He muttered, "I… lost, and lost miserably!"
Jiang Qiyue pursed her thin lips and comforted, "Brother, you just underestimated him. You didn't truly lose! If you had given it your all, that couldn't have happened!"
Jiang Wuyue shook his head with a bitter smile, "No… you don't understand, only by truly fighting that new recruit do you realize his strength!"
He didn't use his Fifth and Sixth Soul Skills, but the opponent hadn't used all his power either!
Jiang Qiyue fell silent, unsure of what to say…
After a while, she finally said, "Brother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have provoked you with Yuxue's matters!"
Jiang Wuyue sighed, reaching out to rub Jiang Qiyue's head, "July, it's not your fault, blame my skills for being inferior! I not only disgraced myself but also brought shame to the Ironblood Group!"
Just then, an extremely stern voice sounded, "If you know you've brought shame to the Ironblood Group, then intensify your cultivation!"
As soon as they heard this, both turned their heads to look…
And they found that it was Long Tianwu who came, with Long Yuxue standing beside him!
Jiang Wuyue hurriedly said, "General Long, and… Yuxue!"
Jiang Qiyue also reacted, nodding in acknowledgment!
Long Yuxue just lightly responded "Mm," without further words!
Long Tianwu, however, looked at Jiang Wuyue with a solemn gaze, "How is your body?"
Jiang Wuyue replied, "Thanks for your concern, General Long, I'm mostly fine now, just need some rest to recover!"
The injuries could recover, but his reputation in the Ironblood Group and the Ferocious God Legion had plummeted!
Long Tianwu's tone softened a bit, "It's good that nothing's wrong, don't dwell on the previous sparring, victory and defeat are common in military families!"
Jiang Wuyue clenched his fist upon hearing this, "But I did lose to a new recruit. General Long, please revoke my position, I am unworthy of being the deputy commander of the Ironblood Group!"
These words caused Jiang Qiyue and Long Yuxue's pupils to constrict sharply…
Jiang Wuyue actually requested to resign from his position himself, which shows how much yesterday's duel with Tang Wulin had impacted him!
Long Tianwu did not agree but said calmly, "Let's put this matter aside for now, wait until you recover and think clearly before we discuss it!"
The current Jiang Wuyue's mindset was obviously not right; agreeing would only confirm that he wasn't qualified to serve as deputy commander!
After pausing, he continued, "Yuxue, stay here and look after Wuyue, I have important matters to discuss and must leave!"
Long Yuxue nodded slightly, "Yes, General!"
Once Long Tianwu left, the three of them stood there, staring at each other, the atmosphere unbearably awkward…
Finally, Jiang Wuyue was the first to speak, "Yuxue, I lost yesterday's duel, that guy might be better at protecting you!"
This made Long Yuxue frown slightly, "Jiang Wuyue, what do you mean by this? I have no romantic feelings for Tang Wulin, nor for you either!"
Jiang Wuyue didn't heed her explanation, saying, "But Yuxue, for so many years, you've never shown me a good face, yet you seem to talk so happily with that Tang Wulin..."
Seeing the situation going awry, Jiang Qiyue hurriedly interrupted, "Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Then, she turned to Long Yuxue and said, "Yuxue, my brother isn't thinking straight at the moment, don't take it seriously!"
This brother of hers seemed to have given up; he would have never spoken like this in front of Yuxue before!
Long Yuxue coldly stared at Jiang Wuyue, and said each word clearly, "I don't know what you're thinking, but the facts are as such."
After speaking, she was about to leave...
But as she was about to step out of the door, she softened a bit and added, "If just this bit of setback causes you to become so demoralized, it really disgraces the Ironblood Group! Furthermore, it means you're unworthy of pursuing me!"
...
Xingluo Empire!
At this moment, the Dark Bell and the Demon Emperor were leading hundreds of Evil Soul Masters marching swiftly forward…
After about a dozen minutes, all the Evil Soul Masters stopped and concealed themselves around a large sect…
A deacon of Titled Douluo level spoke to the two leading women, "Reporting to Lord of Dark Bell, Demon Emperor, we have now annexed about a dozen small sects, and the sect before us is considered a top sect within the Xingluo Empire!"
The Demon Emperor's expression remained unchanged, while the Dark Bell squinted her beautiful eyes, "Oh? What is the strength of this sect?"
The deacon responded, "There is approximately one Hyper Douluo, two Titled Douluos, and several Soul Douluos in the sect!"
The Xingluo Empire is generally at a disadvantage in terms of Soul Master strength, so even a top large sect only has one Hyper Douluo level powerhouse!
The Dark Bell gave a light nod, coldly ordering, "Action!"
The next moment, the concealed Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters slowly infiltrated the sect…
Once they found the sect disciples on guard, they no longer concealed their evil aura, releasing Martial Souls and slaughtering rampantly…
Caught off guard, dozens of cold corpses immediately fell to the ground…
At this point, the other sect disciples realized something was wrong, and likewise, released their soul weapons and Martial Souls to resist…
Meanwhile, another part appeared panicked, "What? So many Evil Soul Masters launched an attack! We must notify the Sect Master and the elders immediately!"
"Damn it, it's one thing for the Holy Spirit Cult to attack other small sects, but to make a move on our sect is really going too far!!"
"Yes, this Holy Spirit Cult is simply arrogant! Do they really think we are soft persimmons?"
"Everyone, don't be afraid. At worst, we die, let's fight them to the end!! Fifth Soul Skill..."
Before long, the sect master of this sect led the elders to arrive just in time, rallying the sect disciples to resist...
Within a short time, it was hard to determine the victor…
The Dark Bell, witnessing all this, clapped a few times, admiringly saying, "Worthy of being a top sect of the Xingluo Empire, this rallying ability is truly impressive!"
The Demon Emperor merely swept his icy, murderous gaze over the scene, preparing for battle…
The man as the "Sect Master," had traces of fear appear in his eyes…
Because from the two of them, he sensed an intense sense of crisis…
He silently mused, "They can exert such pressure without releasing their Martial Souls, making them likely to be Hyper Douluo level powerhouses! Moreover, their soul power rank might be even higher!"
