Douluo: Twins of Fate

Chapter 365 The Fall of Star Luo City
Seeing that Jiang Shengyu's power was actually on par with hers, Ma Xiaotao could no longer contain her anger and charged towards Jiang Shengyu, roaring, "It is absolutely impossible for a human to defeat a god!"

As Jiang Shengyu watched Ma Xiaotao charge towards him, he slowly raised his sword, and the Tanhua Sword, which was originally formed from extremely cold ice crystals, gradually became covered with a layer of bright purple.

The purple arc of electricity, accompanied by a hazy purple mist, instantly shattered the surrounding space, with cracks extending outwards. Jiang Shengyu noticed that the spying force that had enveloped the world vanished the moment he released this power.

"Phoenix? Don't even mention you, even your ancestors were nothing more than mutated chickens!"

Without Tang San's tireless efforts to help find a godhood, only Oscar and Ning Rongrong from the original Shrek Seven Devils would have been able to become gods.

As Jiang Shengyu finished speaking, intense purple light burst forth, instantly destroying a section of space in front of them—an unstoppable torrent! Even Ma Xiaotao, who had already become a god, sensed the danger to her life and abruptly stopped her charge, dodging to the side.

But she couldn't keep up with the speed of the purple light, and half of her body was grazed by it.

The destructive power released by Jiang Shengyu's Heart of Destruction, which was driven by the limit of human cultivation, instantly obliterated half of her body!
Ma Xiaotao screamed and fell to the ground.

Large amounts of blood gushed out, but the goddess's vitality was incredibly tenacious. In addition, the attack had not hit her heart, so even though she had lost half of her body, Ma Xiaotao still managed to stand up unsteadily.

The crimson blood surged like flames, and half of her body gradually recovered.

But Ma Xiaotao felt no joy at her recovery. Her gaze as she stared at Jiang Shengyu was filled with fear. In that instant, she had truly felt the threat of death!

If she hadn't dodged in time, that attack would have probably killed her!

In the sky, Jiang Shengyu looked at the slightly dim purple light swirling around the Tan Hua Sword and said regretfully, "You were lucky to dodge it! However, I'm very curious whether you can dodge the next attack—"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Shengyu raised the Tanhua Sword again. Under the intense purple light, his expression appeared even colder.

Without any hesitation, Ma Xiaotao took Yan Shaozhe and Bei Bei and fled Xingluo City, flying towards Shrek Academy, her divine blood scattering across the sky.

She fled very quickly, and only a few breaths had passed before she completely disappeared into the horizon!
The power of a deity used for escape is truly unparalleled. After she fled, the abyssal energy, no longer suppressed by the divine aura, began to dissipate wildly, which Jiang Qingtong absorbed by throwing out the Ice-Fire Dragon Spear.

However, the abyssal abilities of those who were not among the top ten emperors had very limited effect on their improvement. Even after absorbing all the energy of these abyssal emperors, their cultivation level only increased from level ninety-five to level ninety-six.

Jiang Shengyu looked in the direction Ma Xiaotao had fled. He never expected that the dignified Phoenix God would actually abandon Xingluo City and run away!

It's good that she escaped. Although the power of the Heart of Destruction is immense, Jiang Shengyu is not a god. Fighting a god to the death without a sneak attack would be extremely difficult.

The reason that attack just now was able to cause such great damage to Ma Xiaotao was because she had the advantage of striking first and because her opponent was unaware of the Heart of Destruction.

After confirming that Ma Xiaotao would not return, Jiang Shengyu unleashed his fully charged attack on the walls of Xingluo City. The towering walls, stretching for dozens of miles, were reduced to ashes in an instant, allowing the Sun and Moon Army to advance unimpeded.

The garrison of Xingluo City continued to shrink its defenses and retreat to the palace, but the palace was even more indefensible!
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps controlled all entrances and exits of the palace, while the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps led its army to purge the Star Luo Empire's resistance forces within the city. All members of the royal family were driven into the palace hall.

All the civil and military officials were present. "Emperor Xingluo, it's been a long time." Jiang Shengyu greeted Xu Jiawei, who was hiding behind Wang Xian'er with a worried expression.

Of the three kingdoms that originally belonged to Douluo Continent, Xu Jiawei was the only emperor who was captured alive by the Sun Moon Empire. The emperors of the other two kingdoms either died or fled before their cities fell and hid in Shrek Academy.

Seeing that Xu Jiawei and the civil and military officials remained silent, Jiang Shengyu laughed and said, "I am, after all, the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire. Don't you have anything to say? For example, beg me to spare the people of Star Luo City?"

"The victor is king, the loser is villain. I have nothing to say!" Xu Jiawei shook his head and said in a deep voice, "However... the common people are innocent. They are just ordinary people. They should not be dragged into this war!"

"Then ask yourselves honestly, since the start of the war, has it been our Sun Moon Empire or your original three kingdoms of Douluo Continent that have caused the most displacement of people?"

After Xu Jiawei finished speaking, Jiang Shengyu smiled and said these words, but her voice was somewhat cold.

Xu Jiawei fell silent. Indeed, in order to prevent the Sun Moon Empire from obtaining supplies within its borders, the three kingdoms that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent all implemented scorched earth policies to varying degrees, relocating all the people, whether inside or outside the city, to the rear.

Not to mention that after the Abyss Army joined, they swept through the land like a sieve, leaving chaos in their wake.

but……

Xu Jiawei raised his head, looked at Jiang Shengyu, and said, "If you don't start this war, the peace between the four continental nations will not change!"

"Given the level of hatred that the three original kingdoms of Douluo Continent harbored towards the Sun Moon Empire, once your soul tool technology catches up, will you still be willing to maintain peaceful relations with the Sun Moon Empire? Such words are only good for fooling others."

"Emperor Xingluo, don't you think it's ridiculous for people like you and me to say such things?"

Jiang Shengyu's words left Xu Jiawei speechless.

Huo Yuhao stared intently at Xu Jiawei, his gaze deep and intense. Jiang Qingtong noticed his emotions and gently patted his shoulder. Seeing Jiang Qingtong's expression, Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, then stepped forward and asked, "Where is Dai Hao?"

"The White Tiger Duke was seriously injured. After His Majesty the Immortal Physician saved his life, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu took him to Shrek Academy." Xu Jiawei didn't hide anything.

Or rather, at this point, there's no point in hiding these things anymore.

Although the Sun Moon Empire conquered Star Luo City, Xu Jiawei still believed that Shrek Academy would lead the three kingdoms that originally belonged to Douluo Continent to the final victory! However, at that time, Dai Hao would probably have to become the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, right?
That's fine, anyway, ten thousand years ago, the royal family of Xingluo was the Dai family.

Xu Jiawei thought to himself.

Orange said coldly, "He's quick on his feet!"

Hearing this, Xu Jiawei glanced at Huo Yuhao and Ju Zi a few more times, but he didn't have time to care about what grudge they had against Dai Hao.
