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

Chapter 29 Threat? Since you don't want to play by the rules, then nobody should play! [Please continue reading]

"Because my grandfather was unjustly killed by you!"

Qin Zheng said coldly, his gaze sharp as a knife, staring intently at Ge Long on the city wall.

At this moment, the aura brought by the [Human Emperor] destiny within him suddenly activated, causing the latter to be greatly alarmed, as if he had been locked onto by a prehistoric beast.

"This guy clearly doesn't have much strength, so why is his aura so terrifying?"

A sense of panic inexplicably arose within Goron. He stared at Qin Zheng, as if trying to discern something from the other's eyes, but received no answer.

Taking a deep breath, he had no choice but to suppress his panic and roar loudly.

"Wrongfully killed! You traitor, how dare you bring up what happened back then."

"Your Qin family members are ungrateful and attacked Soul Masters from various academies in full view of everyone, and were killed on the spot. This is already irrefutable evidence. What are you trying to achieve by using this as a basis for your statement?!"

"What do you intend to do, hehe!" Qin Zheng chuckled coldly, his voice ringing out with a flick of his sleeve.

"Goron, you say I am ungrateful, but have you ever thought that I am the son of a duke, and after my grandfather's death, I inherited the title of duke, second only to the emperor, above all others?"

"Since ancient times, the emperor and nobles of the Heavenly Dou Empire have jointly ruled the country. You, based solely on invisible evidence, have made definitive claims and killed nearly five cities' worth of nobles!"

"Are you suggesting that all the nobles of the five cities are rebels?"

"Or are you saying that killing on that snowy night was justified, and that any resistance from the nobles would be seen as ungrateful!"

These words were so flawless that they caused Goron's face to turn from black to red, his expression shifting between gloom and uncertainty.

Indeed, a lot of people died, but the majority of those executed were nobles who had no real power but were still receiving salaries without working. This was something that the powerful nobles tacitly accepted.

Because whether they were nobles or Xueye, they all wanted to concentrate their power more centrally.

The death of a swarm of insignificant mosquitoes is not something to be taken seriously.

But who would have thought that among this group of nobles who only had titles left, there would be such a troublemaker as Qin Zheng?

How will Goron respond to these words?

To say that those nobles deserved to die? Where is the evidence? Without any substantial evidence, given today's situation, it will inevitably lead to a breakdown in the hierarchy between ruler and subject.

To put it bluntly, if the world knew that the mighty Emperor Xueye couldn't even control the nobles under his command...

Goron dared not even imagine the consequences that would follow.

But he remained silent, and Qin Zheng gave him no time to breathe, pointing at Ge Long.

"As for cruelty, that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe wanted to kill me, but his scheme failed, and he was instead killed by my army. Is that cruelty on my part?"

"If that's the case, then you, Golong, are you not an unparalleled demon?"

"The world will condemn him!"

These words were spoken with conviction and without any flaws.

This can be seen as completely returning Goron's words to its original meaning.

"Fine, fine!" Goron gritted his teeth, his face contorted with rage. "What a sharp-tongued brat! You wanted evidence, didn't you? I'll grant your wish."

"Bring those remnants of the Qin family here!"

tread--

In an instant, the Heavenly Warriors who had been holding the unconscious female prisoner pushed her forward.

The moment Qin Zheng saw that person, his face, which had remained expressionless until now, suddenly changed.

But he quickly stopped and his complexion returned to normal.

However, those hands quietly clenched into fists.

Because he could see very clearly that the woman was none other than a member of his Qin family.

【…】

"Qin Zheng, I have a question for you." Ge Long took the female prisoner, grabbed her hair, and violently shoved her in front of him, coldly asking, "Do you... still recognize this person?"

As he spoke, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and said with amusement, "Remember this. She knows where your rebellious grandfather died. If you say you don't know him..."

"That old woman's remains, including hers, will die with their eyes wide open in disbelief!"

"Hehehe—"

"Ugh—" The woman whose hair had been grabbed seemed to be in pain and slowly woke up, but she quickly saw Qin Zheng's figure and immediately struggled to speak.

Her voice was hoarse, and even though she could still speak, it didn't carry very far.

But Qin Zheng could clearly see the meaning behind her lip movements.

run.

Just one word was enough to show that the other person recognized him.

Qin Zheng stared silently, a murderous intent flashing in his dark eyes.

"Gelong, you are smart and lucky to have someone from my Qin family alive."

"Let her go."

"I can spare your life!"

"Hahaha!" Golong laughed mockingly, unable to hide his smugness. "She's in my hands right now, and you're telling me to release her? Qin Zheng, you're too naive!"

"Given the current situation, it would be better if you surrendered and let my Heavenly Warriors slaughter your elite troops."

"Otherwise, I will kill her!"

These words caused an uproar both inside and outside the city.

All eyes were fixed on Qin Zheng.

The soldiers of the Heavenly Dou Empire all wore expressions of joy, and the solemn atmosphere from before dissipated considerably.

They were facing Qin Zheng's Yin Ghost Envoys head-on, and they knew very well that the enemy's strength was not to be underestimated. If they could get the enemy to surrender directly, that would undoubtedly be the best course of action.

On the other hand, the Yin Ghost Messenger and the Black and White Impermanence were both watching Qin Zheng.

"This guy, does he not want to play by the rules?"

Upon seeing this scene, Qin Zheng's expression turned completely cold, and the murderous intent in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

Originally, he intended to proceed slowly and according to the rules, since this trip was carried out in the name of sainthood. If he directly sent people in, it would undoubtedly cause widespread suffering.

This would be detrimental to his ability to elevate his status as the Emperor and to carry out the imperial decree.

Boiling a frog in lukewarm water is the wisest course of action.

"But you shouldn't have, you shouldn't have used the lives of my Qin family members and the whereabouts of my grandfather's remains to make your point, and you definitely shouldn't have let him live here..."

"Because this place is not a historical dynasty from the past."

"If you continue like this, even with the increased power of the Human Emperor, it will be difficult for me to tolerate you any longer."

With this thought in mind, a cold smile gradually appeared on Qin Zheng's lips, and he suddenly looked up at Ge Long.

"Fine. Goron, since you don't want to play by the rules, then I'll play along!"

"Black and White Impermanence, kill him and save that woman."

"Yes, sir!" The Black and White Impermanence beside him immediately stepped forward, their feet transforming into a ball of pitch-black Yin energy, which moved toward Golong with terrifying speed and power.

In just a short while, when they reappeared, they were already beside Goron.

Boom—

The next moment, a terrifying aura swept out, and a terrifying and sinister black rod suddenly appeared in the Black Impermanence's hand. It was then smashed towards Golong's body, with the bells on it ringing loudly.

The Mourning Stick, the weapon of the Black and White Impermanence!

It can summon souls, and it can even lock them away!

Now, with their combined full power, the Yin energy, like a blanket covering the sky, amplified the sound of the bell, causing those around them to momentarily lose their composure.

The next moment, there was a loud bang.

Golong, who had been looking terrified, was smashed into a cloud of blood mist by the mourning stick!

A powerful Soul Douluo of level 80 or above, the number one military officer of the Heaven Dou Empire, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and also a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse.

He died so easily.

His death was incredibly tragic.

No trace of the remains!

The woman who had just been grabbed by Ge Long had been rescued by Bai Wuchang. The two quickly retreated, each supporting one of the women, and returned to Qin Zheng's carriage before setting her down.

This happened so fast that no one present had time to react.

After everyone came to their senses, they looked at the already dead Goron.

The scene fell silent instantly, completely still.
