Douluo: Shark Hunting Blade, Lurking in the Dark!

After hearing Lan's words, Emperor Xingluo's tense heartstrings finally relaxed.

A relieved smile appeared on his face, as if the burden that had been weighing on his heart for many years had disappeared at this moment.

He suddenly laughed out loud towards the sky, his laughter was filled with a bit of self-mockery and emotion, and it echoed in the silent world.

"That guy Wells... really did a good thing..."

Emperor Xing Luo murmured in a low voice, with a complicated look in his eyes.

His thoughts seemed to go back to many years ago, when that loyal and wise minister was still by his side.

Wells's advice, his loyalty, and his talent all appeared in the mind of Star Emperor.

"What a pity... I shouldn't have dismissed him from his post and let him serve the empire for more than ten years. If he was by my side, perhaps... today's disaster would not have happened at all..."

The voice of Emperor Xingluo gradually became low, filled with deep regret and helplessness.

His eyes became blurry, as if he was recalling those long gone years.

"I don't know what Wells is doing now... I suddenly want to have a drink with him... Just like we did back then, talking all night and drinking until dawn..."

As he spoke, Emperor Xing Luo slowly closed his eyes. The smile on his face remained, but he never opened them again.

His breath gradually dissipated, as if it had merged into one with the world.

A generation of emperor died in this way.

The wind blew gently, taking away his last breath.

At this moment, heaven and earth seemed to have fallen into eternal silence.

The figure of Emperor Xingluo still stands there, but he no longer has the majesty and dominance of the past, only a faint loneliness and desolation remains.

far away,

The waves are still rolling, as if mourning the fall of the emperor.

The wind gradually died down and the world returned to peace.

Lan stared at the dead Xing Luo Emperor quietly, without any emotion in his eyes.

To him, Emperor Xingluo was just a superior, an emperor who once issued orders. There had never been any so-called monarch-subject relationship between them, let alone a deep bond.

To him, the life and death of Emperor Xingluo was nothing more than a speck of dust between heaven and earth, insignificant.

However, Emperor Xue Ye, who was standing aside, looked confused and even a little at a loss.

He widened his eyes and stared at the corpse of Emperor Xingluo, with complex emotions surging in his heart.

He could never have imagined that Emperor Xingluo would do such a thing?
Just now he was making an impassioned speech in the palace, saying that "history is written by the victors" and advising him to abandon the people and linger on. But in the blink of an eye, Emperor Xingluo chose to sacrifice himself, thus fulfilling a great image.

It turns out that this old guy was waiting for him here!

"What...what is this?"

Emperor Xue Ye muttered to himself.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have been tricked by Xing Luo Emperor.

Emperor Xingluo brainwashed him with words, making him choose to live in disgrace, while he himself resolutely went to his death and became a hero in the hearts of the people.

This contrast made Emperor Xue Ye feel extremely embarrassed.

He recalled the conversation in the palace just now, and the righteous look of Emperor Xingluo seemed to be still before his eyes.

But now, Emperor Xingluo is dead, leaving behind a tall image, while he himself has become an emperor who is afraid of death and abandons his people.

This sharp contrast made him feel ashamed.

Sure enough, the surrounding Tiandou ministers had already begun to discuss in low voices.

Although their voices were very low, they were clearly heard by Emperor Xue Ye.

"Look at the Xingluo Emperor, who is willing to sacrifice himself for the people. And then look at us..." A minister shook his head, his tone full of disappointment and disdain.

"Hey, don't say such things casually. Do you want to die?"

Another minister quickly reminded him, but there was also a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Haha, that's funny. No one can survive Ma Shanglan's attack. We're all going to die anyway, so why would I be afraid of him?"

The minister sneered, obviously giving up and not caring at all.

"If Emperor Xue Ye still has some shame, he should learn from Emperor Xing Luo..."

Another minister echoed in a low voice, his tone full of sarcasm.

These discussions were like sharp blades, piercing Emperor Xue Ye's heart.

His face turned pale and blue, and his fists were clenched tightly, but then he loosened them weakly.

He knew that he had completely lost the support of the people.

In the eyes of the people and ministers, he was nothing more than a coward who was afraid of death, but Xingluo Emperor became a great emperor and a hero who was willing to sacrifice himself for the people.

Emperor Xue Ye's heart was filled with struggle and regret.

Suddenly, Emperor Xue Ye seemed to have thought of something, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He recalled the conversation between Emperor Xingluo and Lan. The emotional card played by Emperor Xingluo obviously worked. Lan did not take action immediately, but gave Emperor Xingluo a decent ending.

This shows that Lan is not a cold-blooded person, but a reasonable person.

In this case, he might as well follow the example of Emperor Xingluo and sacrifice himself in exchange for the lives of the people!

Thinking of this, a feeling of determination surged in Emperor Xue Ye’s heart.

He knew that no matter what the outcome was, he, as the emperor, had no way to escape and would surely die.

Since we are all going to die, we might as well die like Emperor Xingluo and show our character and integrity!

at least,

He can also leave a good name in history as a man who sacrificed himself for the people, rather than a coward who was afraid of death.

I see,

Emperor Xue Ye took a step forward, his figure straight, and looked at Lan with a firm gaze. He said in a serious tone: "Lan, I am willing to use my life in exchange for the lives of the people in Tiandou City! The people are innocent, come at me if you have any moves!"

His voice was loud and firm, as if carrying an unquestionable majesty.

However, Lan just glanced at him indifferently, with a strange look in his eyes, as if he was looking at a fool.

At this moment, a minister beside Emperor Xue Ye couldn't help but whispered, "Your Majesty... have you forgotten?"

"Before, you gave up on those people in order to save your life... oh no, for the sake of the overall situation."

"Ninety-nine percent of the people in the city have died from Dugu Bo's snake venom. Now the number of people in Tiandou City is probably less than that of soldiers."

These words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the lofty ambitions that had just been ignited in Emperor Xue Ye.

His face turned pale instantly and his body trembled slightly, as if he had been struck by lightning.

Only then did he remember that he had already abandoned the people under Dugu Bo's snake venom, and there were almost no living civilians in the city.

Lan's patience seemed to have reached its limit.

"It's time to end."

"Hai, fall!"

In an instant,
The vast ocean was like a dark curtain covering the sky, pouring down!
