Douluo: Soul Shadow King.
Chapter 273 Prelude to the War
“Did you lead him here on purpose?” A faint voice sounded, and a woman in a golden palace dress woven with gold silk suddenly appeared in the air. There were not too many decorative patterns on the dress, and the style was simple and elegant. The golden stand-up collar protected her snow-white and slender neck, and her long golden hair was casually draped behind her.
Her golden eyes were as calm as water, without any energy fluctuations. She looked like an ordinary person. However, in her golden eyes, there were golden flames burning, and between her brows, there was a golden six-winged angel mark.
Her presence seemed so natural, as if she had always been there.
“I can’t say I did it on purpose. At most, I just wanted you to help me.” Cheng Xiao smiled and said calmly, “There are too many people getting in the way. They affect my performance.”
Qian Renxue frowned as she listened to Cheng Xiao’s words. She looked at the red-haired man standing in the distance, and a trace of solemnity appeared in her beautiful eyes. “He is very strong, so strong that even gods find him difficult to deal with.”
“That’s right, it’s tricky. If it wasn’t tricky, I would have solved it long ago.” The smile on Cheng Xiao’s face did not diminish, as if he didn’t take the Dragon Emperor seriously.
The group of shadow soldiers following behind Cheng Xiao felt an unprecedented sense of depression from their monarch’s emotions.
Qian Renxue glanced at Cheng Xiao and said calmly, “You are the same. Even if I inherited the throne of an angel and became an angel god, I still can’t see through you, just like when I first met you in the Xingdou Great Forest.”
“Can you please stop talking about the dark history of the past?” Cheng Xiao sighed.
Qian Renxue sighed, then her eyes focused slightly, with golden light shining brightly in them, “Then let’s get rid of the enemy in front of us first.”
Cheng Xiao nodded and said with a smile: “Thank you very much. I’ll treat you to a drink after the war.”
Looking deeply at the unfathomable man in front of her, Qian Renxue’s face gradually turned cold. With a wave of her white hand, she took the long sword wrapped in golden light in her hand.
A layer of golden light emerged from the surface of her body like mist. In an instant, she seemed to have become the core between heaven and earth. The feeling of being one with the vitality of heaven and earth made the Dragon Emperor curious.
“This is a different power from the ruler.” The Dragon Emperor looked at Cheng Xiao with a smile, “It seems that you are very confident in defeating me, but I don’t know if the helpers you found can defeat the ancient dragons under my command.”
The fleeting smile on Cheng Xiao’s face was seen clearly by the Dragon Emperor. Although he didn’t know what he was thinking, the Dragon Emperor had made all the preparations. He didn’t believe that Cheng Xiao could win in the face of such a huge gap of tens of millions.
Just as the Dragon Emperor was doubtful, the countless shadow soldiers before him were all sucked into the shadow of the Shadow King.
“What is he doing?”
Taking back the shadow soldiers at this time would be tantamount to an act of suicide. Without the soldiers to delay time, he would only be closer to death.
Even if the Shadow King cherishes his soldiers, exposing his back to the enemy is extremely stupid. What’s more, he doesn’t think that finding helpers can affect the battle situation, right?
The Dragon Emperor quickly shortened the distance between them before Cheng Xiao took any other action. At the same time, the soldiers from the Hunshi world behind him also rushed towards Cheng Xiao along with the Dragon Emperor.
Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops pouring out of the portal all attacked Cheng Xiao.
As for Qian Renxue standing aside, the Dragon Emperor didn’t take her seriously at all. He only needed to move his fingers to crush her to death.
“You are just a guy with wings like the Ruler, but you are too weak compared to the Ruler.”
This was the evaluation that the Dragon Emperor gave to Qian Renxue. In the eyes of this King of Destruction, her existence was no different from that of a ruler, but compared to a ruler, she seemed weaker, like a ruler who had not yet grown up.
How could he take an existence of this level seriously?
However, the moment the Dragon Emperor came in front of Cheng Xiao and stretched out his hand, Cheng Xiao’s eyes suddenly turned into something similar to his own.
That is… the dragon’s eye.
Only then did the Dragon Emperor realize that this guy had been planning this from the beginning.
“you……”
After a brief silence.
An ear-piercing roar resounded between heaven and earth. In just a moment, all the creatures around were caught in the roar of desperate souls.
Fear of Dragon, Cheng Xiao once again used the most evil skill of the dragon clan. Because this skill could not distinguish between friend and foe, he recalled all the shadow soldiers.
With the sound of dragon roar, the Shadow King froze the Dragon Emperor’s soldiers in place. The only one who could move freely under the endless magic power emitted by the Shadow King was the Dragon Emperor.
Even though Qian Renxue had become a god, she was still inevitably greatly affected by the fear of the dragon.
After controlling all the surrounding enemy forces, Cheng Xiao grabbed the Dragon Emperor’s arm.
“You guy…”
The Dragon Emperor frowned.
Cheng Xiao grabbed its arm with both hands and said with a smile: “This place is not suitable for a battlefield. Come with me.”
The shadow spreading from under Cheng Xiao’s feet expanded to under the Dragon Emperor’s feet, as if it was going to swallow it up.
The Dragon Emperor’s expression changed from stiff to relieved. He realized that this guy had been planning this from the beginning. It was Belarion who taught him. This was the same idea as the second-generation Shadow King Cheng Xiaoyu.
Whether he appeared on the battlefield alone, or let the shadow army clean up the battlefield, or even lured himself here, everything he did was to pave the way for this moment.
The Dragon Emperor suddenly became a little excited. If the scene that forced him into a desperate situation happened again, would he fall into despair again?
The answer is obviously no, because the Dragon Emperor’s eyes have been gradually burning with excitement. He wants to have a good fight with the Shadow King. Only the one who survives will be qualified to be called the king.
Moreover, what surprised the Dragon Emperor the most was that he could actually use the Fear of Dragon, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.
At the same time, Cheng Xiao looked at Qian Renxue who was trying to get rid of the fear of the dragon, and smiled slightly: “I’ll leave this place to you, I’ll be back soon.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Xiao’s shadow swallowed him and the Dragon Emperor.
The surroundings suddenly became pitch black, but soon, the two came out from the exit that Cheng Xiao had prepared in advance.
The core area of the Star Forest.
After successfully pulling the Dragon Emperor here, Cheng Xiao quickly distanced himself from him.
On the other hand, the Dragon Emperor, who was separated from his soldiers, looked around with great curiosity.
“here it is……”
“A forest?”
That’s right, the core area of the Xingdou Great Forest is the best place for Gu Yue to deal with the Dragon Emperor. Only here, the huge energy fluctuations will attract the attention of the God Realm, and the existence of the Dragon Emperor will inevitably lead to the pursuit of the God Realm. At the same time, the Dragon Emperor’s powerful power will severely damage the God Realm, and then Gu Yue will return to the God Realm. This is the plan that Cheng Xiao and Gu Yue have discussed.
Cheng Xiao doesn’t care about the world of gods, but he cares very much about these gods. After all, he really wants to try whether he can make these so-called gods become his soldiers.
“You are here.” At this moment, Gu Yue, who had been waiting for a long time, came to Cheng Xiao with a group of ferocious beasts. His silver eyes looked calmly at the Dragon Emperor who was looking around curiously.
“Master, this guy seems to be different from the old Dragon God.” Di Tian said in a low voice.
“I know.” Gu Yue said in a deep voice: “Although he is also a dragon, he is completely different from the old Dragon God.”
Seeing the humans of various shapes beside Cheng Xiao, the Dragon Emperor pointed at Cheng Xiao and asked, “Shadow King, is this how you want to defeat me?”
“I don’t remember when the Shadow King needed help from others.”
“But you’re also more interesting.”
Cheng Xiao didn’t argue with the Dragon Emperor. He smiled and looked at the Dragon Emperor who was at ease. He said, “It would be interesting if you died at the hands of a nobody you looked down upon.”
Finally, the Dragon Emperor’s emotions fluctuated. He could allow himself to be killed by the Shadow King, but Cheng Xiao’s words were tantamount to a provocation to his dignity as a king.
After looking at the confident Cheng Xiao, the smile in the Dragon Emperor’s eyes disappeared.
It closed its eyes and began to try to contact its subordinates, but as expected, all attempts were in vain. It seemed that this would be a battle alone.
The Dragon Emperor then realized that he had once again underestimated what the Shadow King had done. Even though he had never taken him seriously, his pride as a king still made him ignore this minor mistake.
It slowly opened its eyes, and what came into view was the shadow army standing in front of it. The battle of ten million to one had unknowingly turned into a battle of two hundred thousand to one, and the Dragon Emperor was surrounded.
“Interesting. This battle will determine whether I can hold out until my soldiers find me.”
Although the battle situation was at a disadvantage, the Dragon Emperor’s expression was not gloomy. He simply retracted his smile and remained calm and composed.
Battles where you overwhelm your enemies with overwhelming numbers are great, but conversely, it feels great to gradually pick off your enemies one by one.
I was born for war and destruction. If I can make the war full of blood, screams, madness, despair and destruction, I will not hesitate to destroy myself.
The Dragon Emperor is such an incarnation of destruction.
Then the King of Destruction laughed.
“Let me show you my true power.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Dragon Emperor’s red eyes burst into a terrifying red light.
Afterwards, Cheng Xiao, Gu Yue and even the shadow soldiers and ferocious beasts present immediately felt the terrifying power that was beyond the limits of humans and gods.
Trembling and terrified, all their instincts told them to run as far away as possible.
At this moment, a roar that was enough to cause the space to collapse came out from the Dragon Emperor’s mouth. It was a loud roar that could make a person’s heart stop. It was the dragon’s roar of the Dragon Emperor who ruled over the dragon kings.
Having been prepared for a long time, Borrian ordered a defense, and the magicians from the elite troops of shadow soldiers released a large-scale magic barrier.
But even so, facing the Dragon Emperor’s dragon fear, the surrounding space began to distort.
The ground beneath his feet also began to shake, and in the strong ups and downs of the vibration, Cheng Xiao also felt the fear and chaos coming from the Shadow Legion. Without much thought, he immediately withdrew the Shadow Legion back into the shadow.
buzzing-
The roar of the Dragon Emperor continued. During its attack, Cheng Xiao felt dizzy. Even Gu Yue, the Silver Dragon King, began to feel dizzy, not to mention the other ferocious beasts, who simply lay on the ground and began to twitch.
Only the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian was still struggling to hold on, but judging from his trembling limbs, he wouldn’t be able to hold on for long.
Soon, the Dragon Emperor stopped roaring, and looking at Cheng Xiao, whose face was pale and whose magic power was in chaos, the Dragon Emperor laughed wildly.
“This is the true fear of a dragon.”
As if to shake off the effect of fear, Cheng Xiao shook his head vigorously. He suddenly realized that he had too little information about the Dragon Emperor. He didn’t even know the signs before he activated his skills, and he fell into his trap foolishly.
The Dragon Emperor smiled and said, “When you grabbed my arm, I could have easily shaken it off. Although I was pulled by Seong Xiao-Woo like this before, I still gave you a chance, just like I didn’t kill you right away.”
“To be honest, I admire you a little. The helpers you found are all powerful beings in this world. I can even feel that the guys from this world are looking at me angrily.”
“Your goal is to get these ruler-like guys here, but unfortunately, this time, all of you will die.”
“Except you, Shadow King, I will kill you last. You will have to watch helplessly as I kill these useless companions and friends of yours one by one.”
Cheng Xiao looked at the Dragon Emperor and felt a little scared. Is this the real Dragon Emperor?
“As a fellow monarch, I would like to have a quiet chat with you, but unfortunately, you are no longer qualified.”
His rapid breathing caused by the fear of the dragon gradually recovered, but Cheng Xiao still did not let down his guard after standing up.
He still said nothing and looked at the Dragon Emperor in silence.
The smiling Dragon Emperor said to himself, “The war between kings cannot be interfered with by anyone. Apart from their own armies, no creature, even the ruler, dares to interfere at will.”
“Originally I wanted to play with you for a while longer, but now I think it would be more fun to kill you.”
The Dragon Emperor suddenly burst into laughter. What was terrifying was that even his laughter was mixed with terrifying magic. Every laugh made Cheng Xiao’s heart feel uncomfortable.
When the terrifying, chilling cold light flashed in the Dragon Emperor’s eyes, it indicated that the war had truly begun.
“Fight me with everything you have, Shadow King. I will kill you over and over again, along with your ridiculous allies!”
At this moment, the Dragon Emperor’s entire body was shrouded in deep malice. He no longer hid his thoughts. At this moment, he was the true King of Destruction.
Cheng Xiao widened his eyes, and a burning mountain seemed to appear in front of him. Suffocating heat rushed towards him. Cheng Xiao grabbed Gu Yue, who was regulating his breathing, and instantly jumped away.
If the burning lava gathered into the shape of a dragon, it would look like this, right? (End of this chapter)
