Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 587 Decapitation Tactics: Poison Cannot Kill a King

Purple Bamboo Douluo is the commander of the Douling army.

Tianyang Douluo is the guardian deity of the entire Douling Empire.

The defeat of the two men on the battlefield had an unimaginable impact on the morale of the army.

The Douling Empire, which was no match for the Heavenly Soul Empire's army to begin with, collapsed completely and probably won't be able to wait for the Star Luo Empire to come to its rescue.

Because Poison Undying had arrived. After defeating the Holy Spirit Cult with Yuwen Tuo that day, he rested for two days to recover to his best condition. Then, they split into two groups, one going to Xingluo and the other heading to Douling.

What he was going to do was very simple: the decapitation tactic that the Star Luo Empire had anticipated.

On the battlefield, the Douling Offering Hall was completely defeated, and the army suffered heavy losses. The Douling Empire no longer had any resources to contend with it.

As a Limit Douluo, he entered the Douling Palace as if it were empty. The Soul Masters guarding the main hall entrance were all wiped out by Du Busi in a single encounter.

There were no real masters among them; the strongest was Contra, who was no match for even a single blow from the poison.

The Douling Empire actually has another ally, the Xuanming Sect. After all, their former eldest princess married the current sect leader of the Xuanming Sect and gave birth to Xu Sanshi.

Unfortunately, both Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan are now in the hands of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Vina first threatened Xue Lingxun with Xu Sanshi, forcing her to hand over the token given to her by the former Douling Emperor.

Then she handed the token to Xu Sanshi, detained Jiang Nannan, and threatened Xu Sanshi to go to the Douling Empire.

Yes, Vina's method was the same as Xu Tianzhen's surrender before. She asked Du Busi to kill all the royal family members of the Douling Dynasty, then put Xu Sanshi on the throne, and then made Xu Sanshi surrender.

In this way, she could legitimately accept the surrendered troops from all over the Douling Empire.

In fact, many people can see the situation clearly. The Heavenly Soul Empire is at its zenith, with the Limit Douluo Du Busi and Yuwen Tuo, whose strength far exceeds the limit. Unifying the world is only a matter of time.

Whether it was Xu Tianzhen before or Xu Sanshi after, they were just giving the garrison troops in various places a way out. As long as there was a legitimate imperial edict to make the garrison troops in various places surrender, no one would say it was treason.

Xu Sanshi agreed without hesitation. After all, he had never lived a single day in the Douling Empire, and the country held a place in his heart that was nowhere near as important as Jiang Nannan.

At least Vina promised that as long as he completed the mission, she could cripple his and Jiang Nannan's abilities but spare their lives.

In the pitch-black night, Poison Undying transformed into a streak of emerald light and stormed into the palace of the Douling Empire.

The Douling Empire was a loser after the split of Tiandou. Lingdou City is inferior to Tiandou City, and this place is also inferior to the Tiandou Imperial Palace. The guards are lax, and I didn't sense any high-level Soul Masters.

On the throne, Emperor Xue Lingfeng, dressed in a dragon robe, drank fine wine, looking completely drunk, as if he were welcoming his own death.

Poison Undying walked into the main hall and, upon seeing this fellow, mocked, "So you are Emperor Xuefeng? Xue Lingfeng, your appearance is truly unworthy of being a ruler of a country. Compared to our Emperor Xuexin, you are not even worthy of carrying his shoes."

"Hehe, so you must be the original Douluo Poison Undying, Empress Vina really looks down on me. It seems she sent Yuwen Tuo to Star Luo. Speaking of which, I've never seen what this legendary figure looks like in my entire life. I've only been too busy hating him to send anyone a portrait over," Xue Feng said.

He had anticipated the arrival of the Undying Poison. If he were Vina, he would have definitely used a decapitation tactic at this time as well.

“You are not worthy of Tuo’er making this trip in person,” Du Bu Si said.

"Hahaha, yes, you're right. Who is Yuwen Tuo? He's the invincible Yuwen Tuo, the strongest man in the world, the Grand Tutor who turned the tide. And me? I'm just a useless piece of trash who's about to become the ruler of a fallen kingdom." With that, Emperor Xuefeng smashed his wine cup on the ground. "But I'm not reconciled. I'm confident that I'm second to none. Back then, Xu Yueran and I were in love. It was Emperor Riyue who stole her away, forced her to marry, and gave birth to this bastard, Yuwen Tuo. The downfall of my Douling Empire today is all because of him. It's not that I'm incapable; it's that Heaven wants to destroy me."

Upon hearing this, Du Bu Si felt that what Emperor Xue Feng said made some sense.

Without Yuwen Tuo, he wouldn't have become a Limit Douluo and wouldn't have been able to defeat Mu En. The Heavenly Soul Empire would probably have perished under the surprise attack of the Sun Moon Empire back then.

"Xue Lingfeng, perhaps you are right. The Heavenly Soul Empire turned the tide and came back to life because of Tuo'er. But the reason Tuo'er appeared in my Heavenly Soul Empire was because you three great nations forced him into this situation. The Star Luo Empire discarded him like trash and even joined you in assassinating him. The Sun Moon Empire colluded with evil soul masters to wipe out his entire village. And your Douling Empire wished for his death at every moment. Xue Lingfeng, stop making excuses for your incompetence. Your woman was stolen, and instead of seeking revenge against the Sun Moon Empire that stole her, you spend all your time focusing on an innocent child. Do you even have the right to say that the heavens are going to destroy you?" Du Busi walked step by step to Xue Lingfeng, grabbed his neck and said, "If it were anyone else, I might ask them if they were willing to surrender. But you, a coward who only complains and blames a child, seem to have no need to ask."

"Heh, Poison won't kill you. I know your plan. Kill me, then kill all the royal family members who oppose you, leaving only one coward to succeed to the throne and then surrender to you. That way you can take over my Douling Empire without bloodshed, right?" Xue Feng said fearlessly, knowing his death was imminent. "Unfortunately, it's too late. Before you arrived, I had already wiped out my entire Douling royal family. Starting tomorrow, the Douling Empire will fall into unprecedented chaos due to the extinction of its bloodline. Even if you manage to quell the chaos everywhere, all you will gain in the end is a Douling ravaged by war."

"You're really ruthless, Xuefeng. You'd rather die than live in dishonor. But it's a pity you have a father who undermines you. Look at this!" Du Busi took out the keepsake left to Xue Lingxun by the former emperor.

"What is this?!" Xuefeng's eyes widened in surprise.

Xue Lingxun, he then remembered that this woman was still there. That bitch Xue Lingxun, how could she betray her country so easily.

He seemed to have forgotten that Xue Lingxun was a love-struck person who would abandon her country and elope for a man without hesitation. Now, for the sake of her and that man's son, how could she care too much about a country destined to perish?

If there were any hope, she might still lend a hand. In the current situation, she only hopes to save her husband's Xuanming Sect and the lives of her son and daughter-in-law.

"You'll die with your eyes wide open in disbelief, Xue Lingfeng!" Du Busi didn't give him any more chances and snapped his neck in one swift motion.

After assassinating the emperor, he searched the entire palace. Although Xue Lingfeng said that he had killed all the royal family members himself, who knows if that's true?

If there are any survivors, they might cause trouble later. In such cases, it's best to eliminate them completely.
