Douluo: Soul Shadow King.
Chapter 267 Destroying the Dragon King
“Who is the king here?”
The man clearly did not speak, but his voice rang in the minds of everyone present.
Just like the language of Douluo Continent, even the meaning of the words can be understood naturally.
The hearts of the generals of the Star Luo Empire began to pound. After hearing these words, they naturally looked at the emperor of the Star Luo Empire who stood up in the distance because of the man’s question.
When he noticed that these people’s eyes were not fixed on him but behind him, the expression on the man’s face remained calm. When he turned around and looked at the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, he asked the question again.
“Are you the king here?”
Emperor Xing Luo’s pupils suddenly shrank. He did not sense any emotion from the man’s eyes and tone, not even a hint of murderous intent.
But for some reason, he felt a creepy feeling in his heart, his back was wet with cold sweat, and he seemed to be under tremendous pressure facing this man.
The man saw the strangeness of Emperor Xingluo, but he still waited quietly.
Emperor Xingluo took a deep breath, his eyes gradually became firm. He stared at the man who was not sure whether he was a human or a monster, and finally mustered up the courage to speak.
“I am the king. I am the king of the Xingluo Empire.”
The army gathered in Xingluo City at this moment is the entire strength of the Xingluo Empire, and in front of his people, Xingluo Emperor acknowledged the fact that he is the king.
There was a strong sense of self-confidence in the voice of Emperor Xingluo. Perhaps at this moment, he once again became the emperor that everyone feared.
But then, the man spoke.
“It seems that the plan of the King of the Fantasy World has worked. That guy should be angry about his own mistake now, right?”
When the man closed his eyes and opened them again, his eyes were filled with a layer of blood red.
Those were a pair of eyes full of bloodthirstiness, and the bloodthirsty eyeballs were wriggling inside them.
The next moment, as the man waved his hand, the originally dark sky suddenly changed its scenery, as if a doomsday scene had descended here, the entire world turned dark red, and this dark red was still extending.
“Oh my god, what is that!”
“It’s a dragon! A giant dragon appeared in the sky!”
When the army gathered in Xingluo City looked at the giant dragons and other magical beasts appearing in the sky, everyone’s face was filled with despair. What was the difference between the scene before their eyes and the end of the world?
From the open portal, the servants of the King of Destruction were landing on the ground one by one in a dark mass. The sky, the earth, and even the city were covered by terrible monsters.
The roars of the monsters caused the earth to shake again and again, and giant dragons flapping their wings filled the sky.
“Soldiers of the Xingluo Empire, the time has come to defend our homeland. Charge and kill these invaders!”
In order to resist the magical beasts that appeared in Xingluo City, the army of Xingluo Empire gathered together, intending to launch a general attack on these magical beasts.
At this moment, the King of Destruction, who appeared first, just made a casual gesture, and the Star Luo Empire soldiers who gathered together were instantly evaporated.
There was no resistance, no screams, no pain. In just a moment, the Xingluo City, which gathered tens of thousands of people, was easily destroyed by the King of Destruction.
Those soldiers who were lucky enough to survive, seeing their comrades being killed so easily, dropped their weapons in fear and began to flee in terror. They were not afraid of death, they were only afraid of meaningless sacrifice.
He slaughtered tens of thousands of people at will. Could such an enemy really be resisted by these ordinary people who were not even soul masters?
What they don’t know is that even if they are not ordinary people, a soul master with soul power is just a moving ant in the eyes of the King of Destruction, or even worse than an ant.
The soldiers began to flee, and the royal family of the Star Luo Empire intended to launch an attack on the King of Destruction, but the possibility of success was very slim because the servants of the King of Destruction had already set their sights on them.
Dozens of ancient dragons descended from the sky, emitting deafening magical roars, and wherever their dragon claws swept, no one was left intact.
“Father, brother, hurry up and leave. Zhuyun and I will cover you!” Davis pushed his father and brother Dai Mubai away, then he and Zhu Zhuyun transformed into Netherworld White Tigers and rushed towards the group of monsters.
From the moment his martial soul merged, he knew that his life would eventually be buried here along with Xingluo City.
Davis had no regrets, and Zhu Zhuyun, who followed him, had even less regrets. From the moment they met, this ending seemed to have been predetermined.
Emperor Xing Luo and Dai Mubai escaped. The King of Destruction noticed them, but he didn’t care. He thought they were just stray dogs. He casually gave the order to hunt down the prey and continued to watch this feast of destruction.
Looking at the buildings, streets, and humans destroyed by the monsters, the King of Destruction felt an immense sense of transcendence. It was this wonderful feeling, after being trapped in the cracks of the dimension for a long time, he once again experienced the feeling of destruction after a long time, which really made him happy.
The Netherworld White Tiger, who was fighting desperately among the group of monsters, added a touch of transcendence to his beauty of destroying all living things.
After a while, the wounded Nether White Tiger finally couldn’t hold on any longer. At the moment when Davis and Zhu Zhuyun’s martial spirit fusion failed, a large group of magical beasts pounced on them.
Soon, bright red blood flowed from the cracks in the floor…
When the monsters were enjoying the pleasure of releasing their power, the place where the Nether White Tiger disappeared was left with only two blood-stained, dull rings…
The Dragon Emperor looked down at the ashes piled at his feet, quite satisfied with his success, then turned around and left.
The Dragon Emperor gently closed his eyes and opened his arms, fully feeling the pleasure and freedom of destruction.
The beating heart of life.
Their screams.
To the Dragon Emperor, the destruction of humanity and the cries for mercy were like a dreamlike performance, the exciting and high-pitched melody never stopped.
Destruction is the way to transcend emotions.
Bang!
At this time, many commanders of the Light Dragon Legion and the Destruction Legion landed on the ground one by one, and finally the King of the Fantasy World walked out of the teleportation portal and came before the Dragon Emperor.
They all knelt and kowtowed respectfully to the most powerful king, the Dragon Emperor, the King of Destruction. Even the king of the fantasy world bowed down to them.
The Dragon Emperor smiled, holding tightly in his hands the terrifying magic power that made the entire continent tremble.
The Dragon Emperor had put a lot of thought into strengthening the magic power released by this planet, and now, the magic power of this planet even enhances the power of the user.
“Very good, the preparations are finished here.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha–!”
The Dragon Emperor’s unbridled laughter shook all around, and he then shouted loudly to the soldiers who continued to appear from the portal.
“Destroy everything here, because this is the only mission I have given you. Offer the gift of destruction to your master, the Dragon Emperor!”
Thousands of ancient dragons quickly flew over the Dragon Emperor’s head, spewing flames toward the ground. More than a dozen legion commanders excitedly flew into the sky and began to vent their magic power that had nowhere to be released.
The King of Fantasy World said: “Dragon Emperor, I have arranged everything. This time, our army will attack all cities, including those near the ocean.”
The Dragon Emperor smiled and said, “Well done. This time, I will not lose.”
“Shadow King, the war… has just begun.” As the Dragon Emperor finished speaking, the roar from the ancient dragons resounded through the heavens and earth, and everything on the ground began to burn.
…………
One day later, Gengxin City.
After escaping from Xingluo City, Tang San fled towards Tiandou City with the Seven Sacred Pillars.
While escaping, Tang San unexpectedly met the fugitive Dai Mubai. After recognizing each other, Tang San learned that Xingluo City had fallen.
In order to cover Xingluo Emperor and Dai Mubai, Davis and Zhu Zhuyun chose to stay behind to cover their retreat, while Xingluo Emperor was torn to pieces by the pursuing ancient dragon during his escape.
Dai Mubai also took the opportunity to escape, and was able to flee to Gengxin City, where he happened to meet Tang San and his group who were resting there.
After listening to Dai Mubai’s information, Tang San patted him on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, Boss Dai. I will definitely help you get revenge.”
Dai Mubai didn’t say much, but just nodded silently, because he was now exhausted both physically and mentally.
Tang San also knew that it was useless to say anything now. Only by hurrying up to inherit the throne would he have a chance to save Douluo Continent.
As soon as he entered Gengxin City, he felt a hot metallic breath.
Recalling the past events, a smile appeared on Tang San’s lips. No wonder he felt familiar, it turned out that this was the city with the most blacksmiths in Douluo Continent.
“Great, Senior Lou Gao is still alive. Looks like this life’s Torrential Pear Blossom Needles can be manufactured in advance.” Rubbing his chin, Tang San thought to himself.
So, Tang San followed the route he remembered and began to look for the Blacksmith Association where the master craftsman Lou Gao was.
The Seven Sacred Pillars didn’t understand why, but still chose to follow Tang San.
The Blacksmith Guild is a tall building. Looking up, this huge building is at least thirty meters high and covers a very large area.
Right above the gate, there is a black sign hanging. There are no words on it, but there is a pattern exclusive to blacksmiths.
The three doors were open, and the bustling flow of people could be seen from outside.
Soon, Tang San took out his proud hidden weapons and Clear Sky Hammer. The receptionist was obviously stunned for a moment, and then took Tang San to the fifth floor of the Blacksmith Association.
The Seven Holy Pillars and Dai Mubai were waiting at the gate.
After arriving at the fifth floor, a huge forging room came into view, and the receptionist knocked gently on the door.
There was no sound of forging coming from the forging room. As soon as someone knocked on the door, an irritable voice was heard from inside.
“Didn’t I tell you before? Don’t bother me. I’m busy.”
“Senior Lou Gao, the visitor is from the Haotian Sect. He said he has something that might interest you, so he wants to meet you.” The receptionist explained hastily.
As soon as the reception words came in, the impatient voices inside disappeared, replaced by a series of mechanism sounds, and the wide iron door slowly opened.
I saw a little old man walking out from inside. He looked extremely sloppy and it was unknown how long it had been since he had taken a shower. He was wearing a specially made soft metal robe and there was a trace of metal powder on his chubby face.
The fact that the Haotian Sect was destroyed was known to everyone on the mainland. Upon learning that it was people from the Haotian Sect who came, Lou Gao also wanted to see what the disciples of the Haotian Sect whose sect was destroyed were planning.
“Are you from the Haotian Sect?” Lou Gao stared at Tang San and asked.
“That’s right, my father is Tang Hao, and I am a disciple of the Haotian Sect.” Tang San said.
“Tell me, what do you want from me?” Lou Gao asked impatiently.
Hearing this, Tang San smiled calmly, “I came to see Senior Lou Gao, naturally I have something to ask for, Senior Lou Gao, please take a look at this.”
As he spoke, his palm gently stroked the Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night, and a brand new Zhuge Divine Crossbow fell into his hand.
“Senior Lou Gao, this item is called Zhuge Divine Crossbow. I believe you will like it.”
“Zhuge Divine Crossbow!” Lou Gao took the hidden weapon from Tang San’s hand in surprise, and muttered: “So this thing is called Zhuge Divine Crossbow.”
“Brat, let me ask you, do you know who forged this thing?”
“Senior Lou Gao, this thing was forged by me.” Tang San smiled and said.
“You forged it!” Lou Gao exclaimed, “Genius, a true genius!”
Tang San shook his head and said, “Senior, you should take a look at this first.”
As he spoke, Tang San took out the blueprint of the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle and handed it to Lou Gao.
Soon, Lou Gao was attracted by the hidden weapons on the blueprint. He had never seen such sophisticated weapons in his life. Then he started to talk with Tang San.
Obviously, what was shown on this drawing was far more exquisite than Zhuge’s magic crossbow. For him, who was known as a master craftsman, he really couldn’t let it go.
…………
In the dark room, Dai Mubai was the only one there.
Until now, the scene of his father’s death is still replaying in his mind. His father is a powerful figure at the level of Contra.
They are among the strongest people on the continent, but facing the huge ancient dragon, they have no chance of winning.
What use is he, a prince of Soul King level? He shouldn’t have escaped. Even if his elder brother escaped, he would be much more useful than him.
But why, why when disaster strikes, the only thing that comes to his mind is escape?
The monsters that destroyed Xingluo City kept appearing in his mind. None of the soldiers who were destroyed while defending their homes survived.
Maybe there is, like him, running away like a stray dog.
Be it soul masters, military generals, or relatives, they are all dead, they are all dead.
On the Douluo Continent, everything related to the Star Luo Empire will disappear here. Even the news of the destruction of Star Luo City is unknown to everyone except him, Tang San, and the Seven Sacred Pillars.
No one would believe him. The Xingluo Empire was an empire with even stronger military power than the Tiandou Empire, and Xingluo City was its capital. How could it be destroyed so easily?
“It’s all over, it’s all over!”
Dai Mubai was yelling like a madman. Now he was just a stray dog.
His father died, his elder brother died, and the Xingluo Empire was about to perish. He was no longer a prince. Everything was gone. He just watched helplessly as everything that belonged to him was gone.
“It’s all over…” Dai Mubai leaned against the wall, not knowing why, and suddenly laughed. But as he laughed, tears began to flow uncontrollably. (End of this chapter)
