Douluo Continent: Starting with Ten Kings of Hell, Shocking Qian Renxue

Chapter 18 The defeated army? I need not concern myself with them! From this day forth, march upon Heaven Dou City! [Please read further, vote, and give monthly tickets!]

Lingcheng, amidst towering buildings.

Qin Zheng placed his hand on Qian Renxue's soft waist.

Feeling the delicate touch transmitted through his fingertips, he looked down at the land outside the city from his high position. Compared with his usual indifference, he was more tyrannical at this moment.

That was undisguised brutality, a gaze that wanted to kill all the traitors.

He witnessed the entire carnage outside the city.

Blood was everywhere, and corpses littered the ground.

Qin Zheng was seeing it for the first time, yet he felt no discomfort whatsoever.

Seeing the gazes coming from below, he lowered his eyes, his gaze icy cold.

【…】

The Soul Emperor has already reached the edge of the high-level Soul Masters in Douluo Continent. Even a distance of hundreds of miles inside and outside the city is still clearly visible under the blessing of the Demon Eagle Soul Ring.

Piercing through hundreds of miles of void, their gazes collided with a deafening roar.

Boom—

At that moment, their gazes clashed like needles striking wheat awns, exploding in the void.

In the eyes of the commander-in-chief, there was no Qian Renxue, who was standing next to Qin Zheng and facing him from the side. In his eyes, there was only Qin Zheng, the culprit who killed tens of thousands of his soldiers!

Feeling the fierce gaze of the Soul Emperor General, Qin Zheng also glared back, refusing to yield an inch!

The two stared at each other, at the cost of human lives.

"Oh--"

After a long while, Qin Zheng suddenly smiled and murmured something.

This behavior was a complete departure from his previous tyrannical aura; it lacked any coldness and instead was as calm as greeting a friend.

But in that instant, the commander felt a chill run through his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave!

He understood Qin Zheng's meaning from his silent lip movements.

"Get lost, you stray dog!"

"Get out of my sight and try to escape."

"That's your only hope of survival."

creak-

The commander's fist clenched suddenly. What an insult! He was a dignified Soul Emperor general, leading tens of thousands of troops. Even Emperor Xueye usually gave him some face.

But in front of this person? I am nothing more than an ant that can be crushed to death at will!

Whether he lived or died, or how many people he led, this young man never cared.

Because from the moment he lost, he was destined to be disregarded by his opponent.

Even though he was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, this Soul Emperor general dared not linger.

If he doesn't escape, he will inevitably be left here by tens of thousands of troops.

If he escapes, Qin Zheng's powerful subordinates might kill him, playing a cat-and-mouse game. But if he doesn't escape, then he has no hope left.

With this thought in mind, he gave Qin Zheng a deep look before looking away.

At this moment, the commander had regained his composure and loudly gave the order.

"withdraw!"

After saying that, he quickly disappeared into the shadows of the long street, leaving no trace.

【…】

They escaped!

The war ended.

Only then did the soldiers watching from the city gate dare to speak, and the room erupted in uproar.

"Ten thousand troops, a massive army, came in droves, only to suffer a crushing defeat!"

"Qin Zheng's tens of thousands of skeletal troops, constantly resurrecting, forcefully slaughtered tens of thousands of soldiers from the Heavenly Dou army, leaving rivers of blood!"

The message spread like wildfire throughout the city, and then outwards!

In a few days, the entire continent will surely be shaken!

Because this is the Heavenly Dou Empire!

Apart from the Star Luo Empire, no other empire can make it suffer on the battlefield. Even the most powerful Martial Soul Pope has to give this country some face on ordinary days.

And at this moment, defeat!

They were utterly defeated by the Yin Ghost Envoys under Qin Zheng's command!

Who could not be alarmed? Who could not be afraid?

【…】

[Ding! The Yin Ghost Envoy under the host's command has slain 7,530 Great Soul Masters, 10,000 Soul Warriors, 3,250 Soul Masters, and three Soul Kings. This will strongly influence the future plot of Tang San's battle against the Spirit Empire!]

[Gain Military Token Energy!]

[Detection revealed 10,000 units of military token energy; detection also revealed the host's fusion with the Yin Emperor's authority, allowing for targeted summoning!]

[Detecting the host's current energy and using the energy of 10,000 military tokens, summoning 20,000 Soul-Binding Envoys under the command of the Ten Great Underworld Generals!]

[Note: Soul-catchers, those who seize souls by fate, are the unpredictable ones who claim lives!]

[Note: The figures symbolized by the Soul-Catching Messengers are: Ox-Head and Horse-Face, Black and White Impermanence!]

[The Black and White Impermanence need an additional 10,000 military tokens of energy to summon them!]

[Summoning by designation? Random draw?]

As soon as the war ended, Qin Zheng received the system's settlement notification.

"The Impermanence of Death, does it require an additional 10,000 units of military token energy for me to summon Black and White Impermanence?"

Qin Zheng squinted at the detailed system information that appeared in front of him, and murmured to himself.

"Designated Summon!"

He didn't need to draw randomly, because the Yin Ghost Envoy had already proven his ability in this battle. With only 10,000 troops, he was able to repel the Heavenly Battle Army, which was twice his size, by relying on the energy of resurrection.

The fusion of Yin Ghost Messenger and Yama has created artificial soldiers for the castle fortress, granting the legion almost bug-like abilities.

He was also very much looking forward to seeing what abilities the Soul Reaper would possess.

After all, everyone knows the infamous names of Black and White Impermanence!

Soul Reapers can't be any worse than Ghost Reapers, right?

[Host selected a summoning option; summoning 20,000 Soul Reapers!]

[Note: The current space is too small. The host can specify a different space for deployment!]

"No summoning is needed now."

"Wait a little longer, until I send troops to Tiandou City!"

Qin Zheng's gaze stirred ripples, filled with overwhelming killing intent.

Having repelled the Heavenly Dou army that was besieging Lingcheng, his power had already reached its peak!

With the nobleman dead, the common people dared not rebel against him.

Then it's time for him to ascend the throne and become emperor, and then send troops to Tiandou City.

He wanted the head of that blind emperor...

Pave an invincible path to your Blood and Bone Throne!

"Qin Zheng, the Tian Dou army is now retreating."

"You...can you let me go now?"

At this moment, Qian Renxue spoke softly in Qin Zheng's arms, no longer displaying the calm and collected demeanor she had shown at the beginning, but rather the guilty conscience of a little girl who had done something wrong.

But out of the corner of her eye, she couldn't help but gaze at Qin Zheng's handsome, angular features, feeling both uneasy and expectant.

At this moment, Qian Renxue no longer reminded Qin Zheng of the consequences of letting go of the Battle Master that day.

Because the other party had shocked her a great deal during this period, whether it was predicting the behavior of nobles or describing the future events to her just now...

This young emperor seems to have never made a single wrong move!

Moreover, he never panicked even for a moment!

Even a major event like waging war against the Heavenly Dou Empire was nothing more than an easy task in his eyes.

"Strategizing and winning battles from afar" is no longer enough to describe him.

Therefore, Qian Renxue now has mixed feelings of love and hate towards him.

Because every young girl, from ancient times onwards, has admired strength.

Qin Zheng has now far exceeded her expectations.

Therefore, Qian Renxue was afraid that this young man would really break the deadlock as she expected, and that she would be reduced to a maid.

At the same time, she also expects this young man to break through the impasse with great force, strategize effectively, and rule the world!

【…】

Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng seemed to realize something, then looked at her strangely, somewhat puzzled as to why this woman was suddenly acting this way, but he still consciously let go of Qian Renxue.

The city has not yet been captured, and the throne has not yet been seized.

Now is not the time for him to think about such matters between men and women.

"Your Majesty, what should we do next?" King Qin Guang asked as he stepped forward.

He understood better than Qian Renxue just how deep the young emperor's thoughts were, so when Qin Zheng deliberately let the man leave, he did not try to persuade him.

"In my name, I write a book to proclaim this to all corners of the world!"

"I know that the two armies are fighting, which is very distressing for the people in the city."

"Therefore, I deeply regret engaging in battle with the Heavenly Dou army!"

"But that snowy night, he couldn't distinguish between loyalty and treachery among the nobles, colluding with them to arbitrarily persecute loyal and virtuous people, resulting in the near extermination of my entire Qin family!"

"I may ignore this grudge, but if this incompetent ruler is left unchecked, the world will suffer terribly!"

"Therefore, I am forced to rebel, and today I ascend the throne and declare myself emperor, dispatching troops to Tiandou City!"

"On the day of my ascension to the throne, those who pay homage will be exempt from taxes for one year! A general amnesty will be granted to the people of the city!"

"Those who do not come will not be punished or penalized!"
