Douluo Dalu: 9 Treasure Sword - Chapter 213

Bai returned with his father, Chenxiang, and Gu Rong that had worried faces. Seeing him coming, Fengzhi approached “Where did you and Xie go? What did happened to you to be in such state?”

Even if Bai had already healed all the wounds from the fight and his spirit energy was at the peak, his clothes were full of burns here and there, bȧrėly hanging. “We had a little fight between us”

“What were you thinking?!” shouted worriedly and furiously Fengzhi.

Bai sighed “You should ask mother. Also, she is at the training ground outside. She is very tired, call some healers to take care of her.”

Fengzhi was surprised by the cold air exuding from Bai. He always knew that his son had this side of him, but it was never directed on them. Instinctively, he knew that Bai shouldn’t be pissed and that he needed some time for himself.

“If you need someone to talk, call me” Fengzhi said to Bai, before calling some healers and brought them to the training ground.

“Thanks” Bai said in low voice. Then, he turned to Gu Rong “Uncle, could you bring me to Jialing Pass?”

“What had really happened, Bai?” Gu Rong inquired.

“I am little pissed with mum” Bai coldly answered “For now, I want to finish this stupid war the sooner the better. Please, uncle. Help me.”

Gu Rong sighed knowing that he wouldn’t obtain any more concrete answer. Not even his position of elder or his strength wold help as his little Bai had grown even stronger than him. Gu Rong lifted his hand, a black ring shining surrounding it. A black hole materialized next to him “Don’t do anything rash”

“Bai” Chenxiang hugged his arm “Are you really fine?” she asked blinking her beautiful brown eyes.

“All’s fine, nothing irreparable happened” Bai reassured her, kissing warmly her forehead.

Bai turned towards Gu Rong “Thanks” Bai crossed the black hole. Chenxiang bowed towards Gu Rong before following Bai, the black hole closing behind her.

Both arrived inside Heaven Dou’s headquarters where the reunion hadn’t finished yet. Tang San, Xiao Wu, Chen Xin, Yue Beng, and Marshall Ge discussing the state of war.

Seeing Bai and Chenxiang enter, all the faces turned to them with a little doubt seeing Bai’s face. Bai was tired of the questions. Before anyone could ask anything, he unleashed his aura over the tent, 8 red rings shining brightly, increasing the pressure at the same time that lowered their attributes.

Everyone found himself being suppressed by Bai, the titled douluos could move, but Marshall Ge and Xue Beng’s state was worse. Marshall Ge was bȧrėly able to move his fingers while Xue Beng was directly forced to kneel on the ground, being difficult to even breathe for him.

Bai quickly retracted his aura giving them a breath “You said that you were on a stand by, but the army should be prepared to attack. With 4 more titled douluos, there shouldn’t be any problem in breaking through. I will march first, cleaning the battlefield and destroying the Fortress’s doors” Bai turned to Marshall Ge “When will the army be ready to attack?”

Marshall Ge quickly recovered from the shock and calmly answered “All troops are ready. Tomorrow, it could be prepared. However, it should be better to wait at the morning of the next day, preparing a new formation”

“Like you said, we will attack the day after tomorrow in morning” Bai said with a commanding voice “Call me if you need something before that” Bai turned around, walking away.

Bai left the camp going to a near forest. He leaned over a tree and sat down, closing his eyes and started meditating, controlling his feelings.

After some time, he calmed himself. He had been a bit too rash. Bai was even surprised how much her mother’s intent to sacrifice herself had affected him, even more, when it was an event that Bai was already expecting. Bai could be cold and impossible to move with other people, but when his family was affected, his feeling would flare.

Bai opened his eyes finding Chenxiang looking at him. She should have been looking at Bai all this time. Chenxiang smiled and sat down next to Bai.

“Xiang, sorry” “You don’t need to apologize or tell anything. But you must know that I will always be here for you” Chenxiang leaned her head over Bai’s shoulder.

Bai affirmed once again, how much he loved Chenxiang. He leaned over her, warmly kissing her, their tongues joining together. They broke the kiss and spent the night like this, sleeping one leaned over the other.

The next day, Bai felt much better. Finally, Bai told Chenxiang what happened yesterday. Chenxiang looked determined at Bai and said “If something happens, leave it to me”

Both returned to the camp and Bai apologized for his outburst of yesterday. They accepted the apologies and concluded that the plan wouldn’t change. They needed to finish this war before Spirit Empire grew too strong. Now that they have the required strength, they would move the main army, attacking tomorrow in the morning with Bai at front. Then, a reunion with all the high officers was done, explaining and revising tomorrow’s attack.

The next day, the first sunlight started falling to the plain, bathing Heaven Dou’s and Star Luo’s armies that stood before Jialing Pass full armed. At the center stood the more numerous infantry while the cavalry waited at the side, prepared to pierce the enemy’s flanks.

5 people walked across the enormous armies towards the front, soldiers retreating opening a path for them. The soldiers were in awe looking at them, their pressure and dignity around them enormous, showing their great strength. The 5 of them were one of the strongest people of the continent, all of them titled douluos. They were Tang San, Xiao Wu, Chen Xin, Bai Chenxiang, and at the front Ning Bai.

A red light flashed over Bai “Munch!” He ate something and an armor grew around him, protecting all his body, only leaving the head. The armor was similar as Bai and Mayi’s spirit fusion, but the color was brown with the right robes being white and the left side robes being black. The cold, serious, and handsome face of him, plus the armor, increased a lot his dignity, people controlling themselves to not prostrate before him.

The group of five reach the front of the army, stopping. All had been told, there’s no need to more words, everyone was prepared. Light flashed over Bai, two swords appearing at his hands. He pointed his left one towards Jianling Pass Fortress.

“Attack!” He charged the first, all the army following him “HOOOOOOO!”
