Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 386 Emperor Xu's Venting
Zhenhua collapsed to the ground, the excruciating pain of his hand being pierced far outweighing the despair in his heart.

He looked at the huge crater in the distance, where Mu Ye lay dead, while he, the once-glorious master craftsman, was now like a lamb to the slaughter, trampled underfoot by the Federation's highest authority, barely able to protect himself.

Yunming...

Your Majesty Yunming...

A sliver of hope remained in his heart, but it was quickly overwhelmed by a greater fear.

I had only just left Tiandou City when Emperor Xu appeared here with pinpoint accuracy... How could he possibly have made it in time?
federal……

How exactly did the federal government discover my whereabouts?
I was already being so careful...

The foot stepping on his head exerted a slight pressure, as if it could see into his inner thoughts.

Emperor Xu leaned down, a playful smile on his face like a cat catching a mouse, and slowly began to speak:

"Aren't you wondering how the Federation has managed to monitor you so comprehensively, leaving you nowhere to hide? Hmm?"

His voice carried a chilling pleasure:

"This is not your fault, Zhenhua. It's because the soul guidance technology you understand now has already been left far behind by our Federation."

"What is monitoring you is not any kind of tracking soul tool you know, but one of the highest achievements of our Federation's soul tool technology development."

Xu Tiandi raised his head, as if he could see the deeper universe through the azure sky. His voice suddenly rose, filled with fervor and pride:
"That's a satellite, you idiot!"

"Hahaha, that's not the kind of air-to-ground reconnaissance soul guide that you knew from ten thousand years ago, which floated high in the sky and had limited functions!"

"The real satellite is launched outside the atmosphere of Douluo Star, following a predetermined orbit, revolving around the entire Douluo Star day and night, conducting all-weather, all-around reconnaissance—the supreme eye!"

"You frogs in a well have no idea what a magnificent creation it is!"

Xu Tiandi laughed maniacally, his face contorted with excitement and a twisted sense of accomplishment.

"Not to mention, our Sun Moon Federation has perfectly inherited all the cutting-edge technology and highest legacy of the Sun Moon Empire from ten thousand years ago. The high-ranking families of the Sun Moon Empire back then have already passed on the most core heritage to the present day without reservation!"

"Currently, there are three Level 10 Soul Masters serving the Federation, three in total!"

"Do you understand what this means?! Hahaha!"

His wild laughter echoed across the empty plains, filled with unquestionable authority and an overwhelming sense of superiority.

Xu Tiandi increased the pressure under his feet, almost burying Zhenhua's head into the mud.

"And you, a mere master craftsman, are given glory, resources, and status by the Federation!"

"You're being incredibly ungrateful, taking advantage of my kindness. Do you really think the Federation can't do without you?"

"What a joke! You're just a useful tool. If you're not willing to do it, there are plenty of people waiting in line!"

After his frenzied outburst, Xu Tiandi's smile vanished abruptly, leaving only a chilling cruelty.

He released his foot, squatted down, and took something out of his storage soul tool.

It was a cylinder that was completely black, engraved with countless complex sealing runes, and emanated a heart-palpitating energy fluctuation.

Level 9 Fixed-Equipment Soul-Guided Cannon Shell!

The moment Zhenhua saw this thing, his pupils shrank to pinpoints, and boundless fear gripped him instantly! He struggled desperately, but Xu Tiandi suppressed him with his soul power, and he couldn't even move a finger.

"Don't worry." Xu Tiandi's voice became unusually gentle, even carrying a hint of eerie reassurance, "I will grant your wish."

"Didn't you really want to go to Shrek City? Didn't you really want to be in Yun Ming's arms?"

He chuckled, as if engaged in a fun craft project, easily tearing apart Zhenhua's clothing and flesh with his soul power. Ignoring Zhenhua's contorted expression of extreme pain and silent screams, he precisely inserted the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell into his abdominal cavity. "Aaaaaah—!!!"

The indescribable pain and the soul-deep fear caused Zhenhua to let out inhuman screams.

But this is just the beginning.

As if by magic, Emperor Xu Tian pulled out four more level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs of the same specifications and equally terrifying power from his storage soul-guided device.

One, two, three, four!
With a blank expression, he skillfully and precisely inserted one terrifying weapon after another—powerful enough to destroy a city—into Zhenhua's body!
The feeling of his internal organs being squeezed and corroded by the cold metal and destructive energy caused Zhenhua's consciousness to repeatedly rise and fall in excruciating pain and despair.

Five!

Five level-nine fixed-position soul-guided shells!

After completing all this outrageous act, Emperor Xu clapped his hands as if he had finished a satisfactory work.

He used his exquisite soul power to forcibly stitch up the wound in Zhenhua's abdomen. From the outside, apart from his pale face and violent trembling, there was not much else to see.

As long as one doesn't carefully perceive the five destructive energy sources within his body.

Emperor Xu stood up, took out a special communicator, and his tone returned to its usual indifference and authority, as if the madman from just moments ago was not him:
"Send coordinates, come and clean up the scene. The one in the pit is Mu Ye from the Body Sect, send him to the best hospital for treatment, use the best medicine, don't let him die."

"At the same time, send a team of shadow guards to keep a close watch on him. Before he recovers, if he dares to make any unusual moves or try to leave the hospital—"

Emperor Xu paused, then uttered a cold and ruthless command:
“Chop off his hands and feet.”

A completely emotionless response came from the other end of the communicator:

"Yes, my lord."

Communication hang up.

Xu Tiandi glanced one last time at Zhenhua, who was convulsing on the ground in extreme pain and fear, his eyes completely glazed over, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Go, Master Craftsman Zhenhua," he said softly, as if bidding farewell to an old friend. "Take the Federation's generous gifts and go to Shrek City, which you have longed for."

"I'm sure... Yunming will be very pleasantly surprised."

After he finished speaking, his figure slowly merged into the air and disappeared.

All that remained were the burning wreckage of a car on the field, a huge crater, Mu Ye whose fate was unknown, and the master craftsman Zhen Hua, whose body was filled with five doomsday weapons.

A chilling fear spread like a plague.

Meanwhile, in Shrek City.

Inside the Sea God Pavilion, Yun Ming stood with his hands behind his back in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, his gaze seemingly piercing through the layers of green dome, looking towards the distant direction outside the city.

On his handsome face, a hint of barely concealed excitement and anticipation quietly emerged.

The unconscious tapping of his fingertips on the window frame betrayed the turbulent emotions of this Sea God Pavilion Master, the strongest man on the continent.

Not long ago, he received the last communication from Zhenhua through a secret line, informing him that everything was going smoothly and he was close to Shrek Academy without encountering any obstacles along the way.

"Ah……"

Yun Ming's lips curled into a faint smile, a smile that exuded the confidence and composure of someone who had long held a position of power and looked down upon the world.

His statement that he would protect Zhenhua at all costs had a deterrent effect.

It seems that Xu Tiandi, who holds a high position in the Mingdu Council, still harbors some fear of him.
