His voice was loud enough for everyone to hear, yet the people of the Dragon Phoenix Hall paid him no attention at all.
Lin Si and Lin Wu attacked simultaneously, killing Tang Sect's titled Douluo.
At the extreme battlefield, only Ya Li was left standing.
Lin San acted as if he hadn't heard Yu Guanzhi at all and directly moved to capture Ya Li.
Surrounded on all sides, Ya Li had no room to dodge—no escape whatsoever.
"You dare!"
Seeing the attack about to reach Ya Li, Yun Ming roared in fury, desperately trying to break free from Di Tian and rush to her rescue.
Di Tian intercepted him. Being in better condition than Yun Ming, he withstood Yun Ming's frenzied assault and prevented him from succeeding.
Seeing himself completely ignored, Yu Guanzhi's expression darkened. He felt utterly humiliated—his words had proven completely useless.
"Everyone of the Dragon Phoenix Hall, please stop! You've already killed so many—haven't you killed enough?!"
Yu Guanzhi spoke again, forcefully suppressing his anger.
His tone still wasn't overly harsh. After all, the other side possessed so many powerful experts—some respect had to be shown.
"When Shrek Academy challenged us, they clearly stated it would be a fight to the death."
"And you should understand what that means. Since the enemy isn't completely dead yet, how can the battle stop?"
Di Tian's voice rang out.
"A fight to the death?"
Yu Guanzhi frowned. That sentence left him momentarily speechless.
Guan Yue, Zang Xin, Yun Ming, and Long Yeyue cursed inwardly.
Although that was effectively the meaning, they had never explicitly said the words "fight to the death."
This was pure fabrication by Di Tian.
Given the current situation, the best outcome would be to halt the fighting temporarily—allowing them to retreat and seek revenge later.
But with their pride, they could never openly deny it now. That would be cowardly and disgraceful.
Facing Lin San's charge, Ya Li attacked with the intent to die together with her enemy.
Unfortunately, her resistance was pitifully weak.
Lin San quickly neutralized her attack, struck her with a palm that severely injured her, and captured her.
"Ming-ge! Don't worry about me—leave now!"
Ya Li shouted desperately. Seeing Yun Ming like this, she couldn't hold back her tears.
Yun Ming went completely berserk. Ya Li's capture dealt him a devastating blow, causing his attacks to grow even more violent.
"ALL OF YOU—STOP!"
An enraged shout thundered from the distance, deafening enough that many reporters clutched their ears in agony.
Upon hearing the voice, Guan Yue showed delight.
Di Tian and the others frowned—an Extreme Douluo!
Not only did they not stop, they struck even harder.
Just as with Yu Guanzhi earlier, they completely ignored the command.
Yun Ze stood calmly in midair. The soul beasts had gathered around him, enclosing both him and Gu Yue Na protectively.
Each of them took out prepared soul power bottles and drank deeply, rapidly restoring their consumed soul power.
Lin San stood beside Yun Ze with Ya Li in his grasp. There was no trace of tenderness—one hand clamped around her throat, the other restraining both her arms tightly behind her back.
Yun Ze had no intention of using Ya Li to threaten Yun Ming.
That kind of tactic was beneath him.
Capturing Ya Li was solely to feed her the Truth-Seeking Pill—nothing more.
Media cameras turned toward the seven figures flying in from afar.
At the front was a man appearing to be in his forties or fifties.
He had a broad, imposing build, short hair standing straight up, and wore white armor that made him look exceptionally valiant.
Behind him were six others, both men and women. Their attire clearly marked them as members of the War God Hall.
"I told you to stop—didn't you hear me?!"
The leading man shouted angrily, his tone commanding.
"Did you eat too much shit and get bloated?"
Bear Lord cursed back without restraint.
"If you've got the guts, come fight. Thinking a single sentence can make us stop? Dream on."
"Looking for death!"
Xia Bin flew into a rage. This was the first time anyone had ever dared speak to him like that.
"General Yu, the Hall Master requests your assistance. We hope you can help us eliminate these vile criminals!"
Xia Bin didn't attack immediately. Instead, he flew to Yu Guanzhi's side and spoke solemnly.
The War God Hall had lost five War Gods—his anger was immense, but it hadn't robbed him of his reason.
The Dragon Phoenix Hall was simply too powerful.
With only himself and the six War Gods he brought, there was no way to truly threaten them. He needed additional support.
The "Hall Master" he referred to was naturally the War God Hall's leader—Seabound Douluo Chen Xinjie.
Although the Sea God Legion wasn't as strong as the Central Army, Chen Xinjie's quasi-divine cultivation placed him above Yu Guanzhi.
He was the undisputed number one figure in the military.
Yu Guanzhi hesitated.
The fifty thousand elite troops had yet to arrive—he truly didn't want to intervene directly.
"General Yu, this matter actually has little to do with you. My advice is that you stay out of it."
A calm voice rang out.
Gu Ming flew over with two close companions, along with Xu Lin and others. The speaker was Gu Ming himself.
Xia Bin's expression darkened. He scolded Gu Ming mercilessly:
"Gu Ming! Fine if you won't help—but now you're even stopping General Yu from assisting?!"
"They say you were bought off by the Dragon Phoenix Hall with a Hundred-Year Life-Extending Pill, willing to act as their dog. I didn't believe it before."
"But seeing it with my own eyes now, I can't help but believe it."
"For the sake of living a little longer, you've demeaned yourself to this level. Absolutely disgraceful."
He blamed Gu Ming—if Gu Ming had helped or intervened earlier, how could the War God Hall have lost five War Gods?
"Xia Bin, apologize to my teacher immediately!"
Xu Lin roared, his soul power surging violently.
He deeply respected Gu Ming. Hearing Xia Bin insult his teacher was utterly intolerable.
The others' expressions also darkened as they glared angrily at Xia Bin. His behavior was far too disrespectful.
Gu Ming's expression turned icy.
"Even Chen Xinjie treats me with courtesy and has never addressed me directly by name."
"And you? Not only do you call my name outright—you insult me?"
"Very well done. It seems your War God Hall truly doesn't place me in its eyes."
"Since you've chosen to be rude, don't blame me for responding in kind."
"After this incident, the Federal Research Institute will cease all weapons and technological support to the War God Hall."
"Additionally, I will submit a proposal to the council to conduct a political review of all War God Hall members."
"To my knowledge, the federal government never authorized the War God Hall to participate in this conflict."
"Yet you involved yourselves in a major power struggle on your own initiative."
"I truly want to know—do you belong to the Federation, or to Shrek Academy, or perhaps… the Tang Sect?"
Hearing this, all seven—including Xia Bin—changed expression dramatically.
This accusation was no joke.
They belonged to the federal government.
Being accused of allegiance to other forces amounted to treason—a charge that not even an Extreme Douluo would dare bear.
"Elder Gu," the Second War God spoke hastily,
"Hall Master Xia spoke out of excessive grief after losing our brothers. His words lacked restraint. We ask that you not hold it against him."
