Douluo 2: This Dragon God has too much martial virtue

Chapter 584 Withdrawal
"Send the order and ask Dai Shao's ex-fiancée to come over. It seems that the castration was not thorough enough before... Let the girl cut off his genitals with her own hands. After the matter is done, I will ensure that the Zhu family's power remains the same." Juzi's tone was leisurely, but every word was as sharp as a knife.

In the past, Dai Huabin might have been timid and yelled at Ju Zi. But after all that had happened, he had thoroughly experienced this woman's methods. He knew she was a man of her word, never boasting. So, before Ju Zi finished speaking, Dai Huabin had already shut up, not daring to utter a single unpleasant word.

He didn't even dare to gamble whether his fiancée, who had loved him so much in her heart, would choose to sacrifice him without hesitation in exchange for the continuation and prosperity of the entire family.

When Zhu Lu chose to leave him, he was filled with resentment and resentment. Not only were they engaged, but they were also soul-fused partners. Why couldn't she just leave the family like her ancestor Zhu Zhuqing had done, and follow him to the frontier like she had followed her ancestor Dai Mubai? Furthermore, since their soul fusion was led by him, she should have been completely devoted to him! If it were him, he would never abandon Zhu Lu like this.

During this period of waiting, Dai Huabin was extremely tormented.

Meanwhile, inside the Xingluo Palace, Xu Jiawei's face was ashen. No one wanted to die easily, but if death were truly inevitable, he couldn't stand by and watch Xingluo City be slaughtered by the Sun and Moon armies for his own selfish reasons.

But his sisters were already in a state of panic. The young Xu Yun openly cried, saying she didn't want to die. Xu Jiujiu, her face pale, suddenly broke down, eyes wide, and hysterically accused Huo Yuhao of orchestrating all this! It was he who had ordered the Sun Moon Empire Marshal to issue such an order! After all, back in the Western Frontier, after she had sacrificed a large number of elite spirit masters for her own selfish interests, Huo Yuhao had suggested that she sacrifice her life for her country and the world. But as a princess, how could she afford to sacrifice her life for those lowly commoners?

"Report——!"

A messenger rushed into the hall and reported urgently, "Your Majesty, the Sun-Moon Empire's army has completed the encirclement, and the South and East Gates have been sealed. Officials and their families who had attempted to surrender, and even ordinary civilians, have been driven back into the city. The Sun-Moon Empire's marshal has stated that no surrender is allowed, and no one is allowed to leave the city!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was shocked.

Not even allowed to surrender?

Does the other party have to wait until the entire royal family is beheaded before they will give up?

Xu Jiawei's facial muscles twitched slightly. He could never have imagined that one day he would be in such a desperate situation where he would have no way to surrender.

At this moment, the vast voice echoed from outside the city again, its content identical to the previous one. Through the loudspeaker system attached to the high-altitude detection soul guide, it clearly spread throughout Xingluo City, and every word was like a hammer, striking everyone's heart.

The Sun and Moon Empire army camp.

Orange, wearing a fiery red armor, stood quietly in front of the general's tent, looking towards the top of Xingluo City.

The ultimatum had been issued, and the people sent to the Zhu family of the Spirit Cat were already on their way. Now, she only needed to await a response. Judging from Xingluo City's current reaction, they had no other choice. Since ascending the throne, the Xingluo Emperor had always portrayed himself as diligent and benevolent. With her relentless pressure, he would inevitably have no choice but to leave Xingluo City, sacrificing the lives of the entire Xingguan Xu family for the safety of the city. In this way, Xingluo City would surrender without a fight, and she could avoid causing further bloodshed. Before nightfall, she saw the girl who had walked out of the city gate alone.

The girl had a pair of heterochromatic eyes: her left eye was light blue, while her right eye was light yellow. As she passed through the layers of soul guides' gazes and cast her gaze on Orange, her pupils actually erected slightly, appearing particularly strange.

Zhu Lu was secretly surprised that the Sun-Moon Empire's Grand Marshal, known as the "God of War," was such a young woman. Could a woman, in the Sun-Moon Empire, command the three armies? She had been taught from childhood to obey: obey her father before marriage and her husband after marriage. The only people she could command were the servants. As for the military... as a woman, it was impossible for her to get involved in military power, unless, like Princess Xu Yun, she simply held the title for fun.

She had always been a puppet of the family until it was determined that her spirit fusion with Dai Huabin exceeded 70%, and she naturally became his fiancée. But this was just a change from a puppet of the Zhu family to a vassal of the Dai family.

She had assumed her life would continue on its usual course. However, when the White Tiger Duke's Mansion offended the Dragon Pavilion's leadership, the Zhu family seized the opportunity to forcibly dissolve their engagement, fearing the Dragon Pavilion's wrath. Initially, she felt immensely reluctant to leave. Due to her spirit fusion technique, she had been cultivating alongside Dai Huabin since her spirit awakened, becoming increasingly dependent on him, prioritizing him in everything. After their forced separation, she experienced a long period of confusion.

But as time went by, she gradually realized that although her soul power cultivation was not progressing as rapidly as when she was with Dai Huabin, she no longer thought of him as frequently. As if she had finally gotten through the withdrawal period, Dai Huabin's weight in her heart gradually became insignificant.

At Juzi's signal, the Sun-Moon Empire soldiers cleared a path for Zhu Lu. She looked up at Dai Huabin, who was hanging from the rack. Her former fiancé was now in a state of disarray, covered in wounds and scars, his symbol of masculinity incomplete. This stark contrast to her understated black attire and plain face was stark.

Their eyes met briefly, and Dai Huabin strained to open them wide, trying to catch a glimmer of reluctance or nostalgia in Zhu Lu's eyes. However, before he could see her expression clearly, Zhu Lu had already looked away and back at Ju Zi.

"The Zhu family should already be aware of my request, right?" Orange said lightly.

"Yes." Zhu Lu replied in a low voice, her eyes slightly lowered.

"Then please come in." Orange raised his hand and made a "please" gesture to her.

Soon a soldier came forward and handed Zhu Lu a sharp dagger.

"Lu..." Dai Huabin was in agony. He didn't want his ex-fiancée to see him in such a state. Once upon a time, he was so full of vigor and ambition that his family even recognized his talent as surpassing that of the first generation White Tiger Douluo, Dai Mubai.

The next moment, a cold light flashed.

Dai Huabin screamed once more as Zhu Lu cut off the mutilated part of his body without hesitation. He glared at Zhu Lu with bloodshot eyes, only to see her calmly toss the dagger aside and turn to Ju Zi to confirm she had completed her order. She was as quiet as a porcelain doll.
