Chapter 422 The Plane Crashed
Things always turn out unexpectedly. Xue Law always felt like he was there to smurf, especially with the Old Demon Emperor and the other two. In this world, it was like professional players coming to play a match and they were going to dominate!
So Xue Law relaxed a little and prepared to fly there as fast as possible. The main reason was that they only knew a general direction. If they knew the exact location, Xue Law could even use a portal to get directly to the Lich King's lair and then let it soak in lava.
However, the old Demon Emperor's Blood Dragon's flight speed was also quite good, reaching a maximum speed of several Mach, which was enough to quickly find that great tomb.
Furthermore, speeds of several Mach are fast enough that most attacks cannot reach them; apart from light, there are very few attacks that can reach this speed.
Only the three permanent members of the UN Security Council can afford missiles that can reach this speed on Earth.
Little did Xue Dinglu know that just as he relaxed slightly, preparing to eat hotpot and sing songs on the back of the Blood Dragon, a strange beam of light suddenly shot out from the ground and instantly grazed the Blood Dragon's wing.
Actually, this attack didn't seriously injure Blood Dragon, and it didn't even cut off Blood Dragon's wing. However, as any ace pilot knows, when flying at supersonic speeds, even a slight loss of balance can easily lead to a crash, making it extremely difficult to see the sun at 4 a.m. the next day.
Blood Dragon's flight was shattered in an instant, and it immediately lost its balance in the air, swaying left and right!
"Old man, keep the direction in check! Pull up! Pull up!" Xue Dinglu shouted immediately.
The old Demon Emperor's face darkened. He frantically tried to maneuver the Blood Dragon into the air, but it was too late. In order to observe the ground situation, they chose to fly at a low altitude of several hundred meters. So when the flight speed was fast enough, the crash speed would also be fast enough. The old Demon Emperor only had less than a second to lift off.
"The ascent failed, prepare to fall..." the old demon emperor said directly.
"what!?"
"Boom!" The blood dragon crashed to the ground, immediately sending up a cloud of dust that flew hundreds of meters into the sky.
Xue Dinglu crawled out of the crash site covered in dust and dirt, almost missing the 4 a.m. sun. Even for him, crashing at several Mach was still quite a struggle.
The old Demon Emperor was more seriously injured, and his Blood Dragon was temporarily unusable; he could only use simple blood magic.
"Who is it?" Xue Dinglu asked immediately, sounding quite angry.
He didn't know if the emotion was provided by the [Sand of Flowing Light] or his own, but he couldn't stand it at all. He wanted to punch the culprit to pieces.
Without them even needing to search, a large army of the dead soon surrounded them, and the two seemed to have entered the world of the dead, the heartland of the undead.
These undead were not a vast, swarming mass, but rather formed neat military formations: death knights riding mounts pieced together from bones, heavily armored undead clad in thick bone armor, and numerous colossal skeletal beasts, each over ten meters tall, arranged in uniform ranks.
It's clear that the mastermind behind this must have studied military discipline and management, and may even be an outstanding student.
Soon, just as Xue Dinglu rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight, an unbelievably beautiful young girl stepped out, standing out starkly from the undead army.
Like a noble aristocrat, her black and white dress accentuated her fair skin, which glowed with an alluring blush. Her long silver hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her hat was spotless.
The calves below the skirt, the bare legs, all had the feel of being dressed in white stockings.
"Greetings, Lord Demon King." The vampire lady bowed slightly, not to Xue Luding, but to the old Demon Emperor.
She seemed to have recognized him long ago; the old Demon Emperor was the former emperor of the empire, and also the "Demon King" in the eyes of the people of this world.
Although Xue Lude always felt that the title "Demon King" was somewhat ambiguous, the Old Demon Emperor was actually just the leader of the demon race...
As Xue Luding scrutinized the young girl, the old Demon Emperor, with a somber expression, quietly said, "A vampire, the daughter of the old Di'ao family?"
The vampire girl covered her mouth and chuckled, as if mocking or sarcastic: "So, the noble Demon King still remembers me! My parents, all my elders, were all killed by you! I was even forced to submit to you, and now, look at these skeletons, these undead!"
"These are all subjects of your empire! Now they've all become my lackeys! Hahaha, hahahaha, hee hee hee!" He laughed, his aristocratic demeanor vanishing as he laughed wildly, seemingly suppressing decades of pent-up resentment.
Xue Law: "..."
Although they were enemies now, Xue Luding was still getting a little flustered by this vampire girl. He turned his head and looked at the old Demon Emperor with the eyes of someone looking at trash, and asked, "Is this your former concubine?"
After all, this vampire just said that he "submitted to the old demon emperor", which made Xue Law instantly switch from the style of The Frozen Throne to the set of Tiny Times.
After all, the old man was once an emperor. Even if an emperor is over a hundred years old, it's normal for him to marry a teenage wife... right?
But that didn't stop Xue from looking at this old man with the eyes of someone looking at trash.
"Don't look at me like that! She's my youngest son's fiancée!" The old demon emperor glared fiercely at Xue Luding.
"Oh, so you're the one who forged a dagger with the claws of the Shub insect race, then coated it with Shub insect poison, and finally stabbed your youngest son in the back?" Xue Dinglu asked.
The old man nodded.
Xue Dinglu immediately understood. So this is what "submission" means. I thought it was the old man's concubine, which is why I didn't make a move, lest I ruin the old man's melodramatic love story before it even started.
Xue Law even imagined a long, melodramatic story about the two of them.
It turns out she was just a daughter-in-law who wasn't yet married into the family. Disappointing.
"Demon King, this is the empire you ruled with your brutal methods, and these are your people burdened with heavy corvée labor. Your demise after only two generations may simply be the cycle of karma! Look at them now, they have gained eternal peace after death!"
"Your empire, everything you have, has become our food, has become our wedding dress! How you treated our race, we will now repay you a hundredfold, a thousandfold, a billionfold! We will repay you and your people!"
She laughed, laughed wildly, and spoke these words hysterically and bitterly.
The old demon emperor's face instantly darkened.
“Did you see that? Your people have become our dogs! Your empire has become our paradise! Everything you've done is utterly useless! You're a piece of trash, a piece of trash who can't do anything!” she continued to berate.
However, it was always the same thing over and over again, and Xue Dinglu was tired of hearing it. It was too weak. To Xue Dinglu, this kind of cursing sounded like a child's coquettishness, and it was not as offensive as directly calling someone a "pervert, pervert".
"Can I go?" Xue Dinglu asked directly.
The old Demon Emperor didn't speak, he just nodded.
"Heh, speechless now, Demon King? You utterly worthless trash, tyrant, executioner... and..." However, before she could finish her tirade, a beam of light transformed into a guillotine and struck.
She was even stunned for a moment before her entire head was severed. The Holy Light Guillotine melted her body and corroded her brain the instant it touched her, leaving only her head, still bearing a sickly smile, falling to the ground, seemingly retaining the rosy glow of her former life. "So vampires have bodies like frozen flesh? Like zombies? I thought they'd be more like living people," Xue Dinglu said, feeling the texture of the guillotine.
Start at 0 frames, and instantly kill.
He rambled on and on, mostly just trying to mess with the old demon emperor's mentality, but his insults sounded like he was being coquettish, completely lacking any aggression, which made Xue Law not want to listen anymore.
When the vampire died, the undead, who had been in a strict military formation just moments before, suddenly went berserk. However, this cobbled-together undead army posed no threat to Xue Lude, who was now imbued with billions of tons of magma.
……
Several tens of minutes later, Xue Dinglu left, carrying the head that had been burned out.
"Here's your daughter-in-law's head." Xue Dinglu picked up the vampire's head and examined it. He was actually quite curious as to why this person, even after becoming an undead, still looked like a normal person.
However, an examination using the cursed blood revealed that although it looked exactly like a living person, it was actually just a large piece of frozen meat, without blood, bodily fluids, or any working organs.
Just like this "vampire girl" formed by piecing together a bunch of frozen meat that won't rot, she's essentially the same kind of thing as those cadavers in her school who've been preserved in formaldehyde for who knows how long.
So, after losing interest, Xue Law handed the head over to the old Demon Emperor.
The old demon emperor stopped talking and threw it on the ground, where it rolled away like a ball for an unknown distance.
"Perhaps you were right before, I was too lenient with those old nobles..." the old Demon Emperor said, his face as black as if he came from Africa.
Xue Dinglu silently put away his words, knowing he might need them later.
The two left and continued towards the great tomb.
"I didn't completely purge all the nobles of other races back then. Instead, I scattered them and imprisoned their wives and children in my capital... Except for those who were particularly aggressive, I have been very merciful to the others..." the old demon emperor said, as the blood dragon slowly gathered and flew into the sky again.
"And her family was part of this group. I killed all the adults in her family, leaving only the young members, and then took them to the capital. Later, she became my youngest son's fiancée, which I didn't care about at the time..."
The old Demon King said, "Did I do something wrong?"
Xue Law: "..."
Isn't that obvious?
He covered his face immediately. Xue Dinglu really didn't know how to comment on what the old demon emperor had done. You mean you killed someone's whole family, raised her, and even made her your youngest son's fiancée?
Dude, how can you be so careless?
Could it be that your youngest son's betrayal of your plans was partly due to this guy whispering in your ear?
You can either kill them all, or leave them alone. You could even cripple her entire family and separate them, so you can say, "Miss, you don't want your family to..."
In this way, you can completely control her and even make her do anything you want. She can only grit her teeth and do it with tears in her eyes because all her family members are in your hands.
To put it bluntly, if Xue Zhiqian were in the position of the old Demon Emperor, he could have manipulated her into becoming a Hakimi.
How did you manage to kill her entire family and then, after she had no more attachments, still dare to let her become your daughter-in-law?
No, are you sick in the head?
Xue's Law is speechless. Hesitating, indecisive, and wishy-washy, wanting to make an example of others while also wanting to spare other races and prevent their extinction... Where in the world is there such a good thing?
He was speechless for a long time before finally saying, "You used to be so long-winded..."
"Yes, it's too fussy..." the old demon emperor said. He looked at the gray sky and saw the vampire head that still had a sickly red blush. His spine seemed to bend even more.
"You know the First Emperor of my world, right?"
Blood Dragon soared through the sky once more, this time at a slower pace to avoid another crash. They also began chatting inside the protective shield.
"Know……"
"Although the First Emperor's empire perished in many ways, the main reason was that the First Emperor was too kind," Xue Dinglu said.
His opinion differed from others; he felt that Ying Zheng was far too fussy and indecisive.
Are the nobles of the six states not going to be investigated and punished?
Are traitors not being punished either?
He could understand not settling scores when they first occupied the territory, but why not when he was about to die?
If Xue Zhiqian were in power, he would have done everything in his power to purge all the nobles of the six kingdoms before his health deteriorated, leaving no one alive. Wouldn't it be possible to dissolve them in water? Even the emperor of the Ming Dynasty could dissolve in water, so why couldn't you make all the nobles of the six kingdoms dissolve in water?
They were indecisive and hesitant, wanting to kill but not daring to, and even allowing the nobles of the six states to remain on their original territories...
The old Demon King made the same mistake.
Xue Dinglu could understand his previous thoughts. It was like the vampire clan. If the old demon emperor had killed her entire family, then the vampire clan would have been wiped out from the world, which would be equivalent to the extinction of an entire race.
The old Demon Emperor probably didn't want to commit genocide directly, so he spared a few of them.
However, his approach was far too fussy and abstract...
"So, is it possible that we'll run into your youngest son again this time?" Xue Dinglu asked.
The old Demon Emperor remained silent, but the way he clenched his fists proved that he had also considered this possibility.
If his daughter-in-law can become a vampire and part of the undead scourge, what about his youngest son, his former subordinates who betrayed him, and his other sons?
The old Demon Emperor didn't know, but he had already figured it out: whoever became an undead...
He killed his own son without any remorse! (End of Chapter)
