Douluo—Chapter 27: Your Highness is murderous! The eighth soul skill, the Hell Blade!
Heaven Dou Empire, Wuping City.
The inky clouds are getting lower and lower as if they are about to fall to the earth, and the surroundings are dark.
The heavy rain is still pouring, and the water in front of the gate of Wuping City has completely submerged the ankles, emitting a strange blood color.
At this moment, the formation of the Heaven Dou Empire's army is extremely messy, and it has been completely torn apart by the Star Luo Empire's army.
Although they still far outnumbered the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire, the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire were all as brave as wolves and tigers.
Even an ordinary Star Luo soldier holding a long sword, two or more Heaven Dou Empire soldiers fell screaming as the sword flashed.
Such a huge difference in combat power was like an invisible mountain, which made the soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire breathless. Their hearts were already filled with fear, and their hands holding their weapons could not stop trembling.
However, they had been subject to military orders and had to bite the bullet and continue to fight.
At this moment, a loud "all troops retreat, target Jincheng Pass!" was like an amnesty order, breaking through the oppressive battlefield.
Hearing the order of their city lord, General Li Jinglong, the soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire could not help but flash a trace of relief in their eyes.
Then, they turned around and fled towards Jincheng Pass regardless of everything.
For a moment, blood splattered everywhere, and some soldiers were even tripped by corpses or debris on the ground because they were too flustered and groaned in pain.
But they didn't care about the pain and continued to run away, fearing that they would be caught up by the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire if they were a step late.
As the commander-in-chief, Li Jinglong was riding on a tall horse at this moment, looking at the backs of the soldiers fleeing...
Looking up to the sky and sighing, a trace of loneliness appeared, letting the rain hit his face.
"This defeat is my fault... It's all my fault that I couldn't see through Dai Chengfeng's plan in advance!"
Looking at this scene, Dai Chengfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, "Zhu Yan, listen to my orders!"
"Your Highness."
Soon, Zhu Yan rode a horse to Dai Chengfeng's side.
"I order you to lead the army to pursue the remnants of the Heaven Dou Empire until they are thirty miles away from Jincheng Pass."
Wuping City is just a small city, while Jincheng Pass is completely different. It is a large city at the pass between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, with more than 200,000 troops stationed there.
Even if his 10,000 men are brave and good at fighting, they can never be the opponent of the other side.
Therefore, pursuing them to thirty miles outside Jincheng Pass is already the limit.
"Yes."
Zhu Yan clasped his hands together, then he hesitated and said, "But Your Highness, what if someone surrenders?"
"Surrender?"
Dai Chengfeng raised his lips slightly, his golden eyes filled with murderous intent, "Those who surrender will not be killed, but..."
"I don't want to hear... someone! Surrender!"
As he spoke, Dai Chengfeng patted Zhu Yan's arm, "Zhu Yan, I believe you should understand what Your Highness means!"
"Yes, I understand!"
Zhu Yan saluted instantly, then reined in his horse and turned around.
"Before, Zhu Fan told me that His Highness was extremely murderous, but I didn't believe it."
"After all, His Highness treats us so well. All the widows of the soldiers who died in the battle in Wu'an City have received extra care."
"How could such a Highness be so murderous?"
"But now, I completely believe it!" Zhu Yan couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and at the same time, he couldn't help feeling a little relieved in his heart, "Fortunately, I, Zhu Yan, have no second thoughts about His Highness, so I don't have to be an enemy of His Highness..."
Then, Zhu Yan roared, "All troops, assemble, follow me to hunt down the remnants of the Heaven Dou Empire... Blood debts must be paid with blood! No one will be left alive!"
"Go!!!"
...
Zhu Yan has led his troops far away.
At this moment, only Dai Chengfeng and Zhu Fan, as well as Dai Chengfeng's guards, were left in Wuping City... The vanguard soldiers who once numbered 1,000 but now numbered less than 800.
And, Li Jinglong!
"General Li, you're not going to run away?"
Dai Chengfeng looked at Li Jinglong, who was sitting on a warhorse opposite him, looking a little decadent but with no intention of running away, and asked curiously.
Hearing this, looking at the young and handsome Dai Chengfeng opposite him, Li Jinglong's eyes were full of bitterness.
"A defeated general is just a dog that has lost its home. He is not worthy of the title of general."
"As for running away?"
Li Jinglong took a last look at Wuping City and sighed, "No more running away, no more running away..."
"Wuping City is my home, the place where I was born and raised... but now it is lost because of my stupidity."
"I, Li Jinglong, feel ashamed of the people in the city who trust me, and the soldiers who trust me. I have no face to see them."
Said, Li Jinglong took off his helmet and threw it to Dai Chengfeng, "But boy, you are very good! Very good!"
"Although you are my enemy, Li Jinglong, I admire your strategy!"
"I don't feel ashamed to lose to you!"
Finally, Li Jinglong shouted at Zhu Fan hoarsely, "Come on, Zhu Fan, the former commander of the Star Luo Empire's Imperial Guard!"
"You are just a soul king, not my opponent." Zhu Fan shook his head slightly.
"I! Li Jinglong, the general of the Heaven Dou Empire and the lord of Wuping City, am willing to delay you for even one minute or one second for the Heaven Dou soldiers!"
"I have no regrets!"
Looking at Li Jinglong who was determined to die, Dai Chengfeng couldn't help but stand in awe even though he was an enemy.
He took off his helmet and saluted.
Then he looked at Zhu Fan, "Uncle, go all out!"
"Yes!"
Zhu Fan nodded heavily and saluted Li Jinglong as well. Then the eight soul rings under his feet lit up, "General Li, I Zhu Fan will remember you!"
After the words fell, "The eighth soul skill, the Hell Blade!"
Zhu Fan seemed to cut through the space and disappeared instantly.
When he appeared again, it was behind Li Jinglong...
In his hand, a dark dagger that seemed to be able to swallow all the light had pierced Li Jinglong's chest.
Puff!
Li Jinglong spat out a mouthful of blood and looked down at the Hell Blade that pierced his chest.
There was no fear, but a sense of relief.
"Is this... Soul Douluo? So strong!"
Plop~
He fell off his horse and fell heavily in the rain, blood kept pouring out of his mouth, and his eyes looked at the sky.
"I'm sorry, I, Li Jinglong... tried my best..."
At this time, Dai Chengfeng walked to Li Jinglong, squatted down, and put his helmet back on for him, "General Li!"
"You lost this battle not only to me, Dai Chengfeng..."
"You lost to the military genius, to the fact that no one had ever seen this strategy."
"You are not wronged!"
"And I promise you, as long as the people in the city don't resist, I won't kill them!"
"That's good, that's good..."
Li Jinglong smiled and closed his eyes.
Dai Chengfeng took a deep breath and stood up, "Uncle, bury General Li with honor!"
"Yes!"
"At the same time, write a letter to inform my father and ask him to tell Heaven Dou Empire..."
"Wuping City will belong to my Star Luo Empire in the future!"
After Dai Chengfeng finished speaking, he looked at the quiet Wuping City with only the sound of rain, "The revenge has been taken."
"Next, I should leave temporarily and go to Heaven Dou Empire... Immortal Herbs!"
Although his martial soul is the white tiger, Dai Chengfeng, after practicing Innate Technique, is more and more aware of the huge gap between his white tiger and the legendary Holy Spirit of Heaven. This is a deficiency in the origin.
Only evolution can make up for the origin...
"I am the White Emperor, the Holy Spirit of Heaven! The evil god of the year! I will be in charge of all the killings in the world, and I am also the master of Innate Origin Metal Element! I will surpass the top of the gods!"
Dai Chengfeng looked up at the dim sky, his eyes were firm and there was no trace of confusion.
"It must be so!"
