Douluo—Chapter 23: The Murderer! Star Luo Empire, Zhu Fan! Shakes the Mountains and Rivers!
Heaven Dou Empire, Wuping City.
Dark clouds like ink, north wind howling.
Bean-sized raindrops fell suddenly, at first only sporadic, and in a moment they became lines until the sky and the earth were all 'grey'.
At the city gate.
On the bluestone road, raindrops splashed high, gathered into muddy streams, flowing slowly...just like in the past.
Boom——!
A thunderous sound, deafening.
The blinding lightning was winding like a dragon, illuminating the dark sky.
Several sleepy old soldiers who were responsible for guarding the city gate were startled by the sudden thunder.
"Fuck, you scared me."
One of them spat, then looked at the rain curtain outside the city gate, and cursed: "It's so cloudy today, it's so damn unlucky!"
"I was thinking that guarding the city was boring, so I just wanted to see those idiots wearing armor and repairing the road on such a hot day to relieve my boredom!"
"But it's raining so hard now... It seems that I won't be able to see it today!"
At this time,
A patrol officer in armor and with a serious look strode over, frowning: "Look at how lazy you are, all of you should be more alert!"
"Remember!"
"Wu'an City has been repairing roads for the past six months, and they have never given up the idea of revenge."
The veterans didn't care at all, and smiled, "Captain, you can rest assured."
"The idiots of the Star Luo Empire repaired the road before the war, and they were so enthusiastic about it."
"Now, the road is almost finished."
"But they have very little siege equipment, what can they use to fight?"
"If they attack now, isn't this just suicide? Hahaha..."
Hearing this, the captain nodded slightly in agreement, and a disdainful smile appeared on his face, "That's true."
"According to their progress, it will probably take another two months to prepare enough siege equipment."
"What a pity!"
"If they knew that their every move was monitored by our city lord and that they had already asked for help from Heaven Dou City, the reinforcements would arrive in half a month at most!"
"Wouldn't they be mad to death?"
"After all, it's a waste of time to build the road with so much effort!"
Just as everyone in Heaven Dou was laughing,
Swish——!
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept past, making everyone's armor rustle.
The soldiers in front of the city gate looked at each other, slightly stunned, and a chill inexplicably surged in their hearts.
It felt as if they were the prey being targeted by a beast!
Gudong~
They swallowed subconsciously, clenched their weapons, and turned slowly and stiffly.
Instantly, they were horrified to find that...
At some point, a middle-aged man in black appeared behind them, with a stern face and a chilling murderous intent in his eyes.
"Who... who are you?"
The patrolling general asked loudly with courage.
The corner of the black-clothed man's mouth slightly raised, revealing a cold smile, "I want your life!"
Before he finished speaking,
The light under the man's feet flashed, and eight soul rings suddenly lit up: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black.
"Soul... Soul Douluo?"
The eyes of several soldiers were full of fear.
"Third soul skill, Hell Flash!"
With a low shout from the man, his figure flashed quickly like a ghost, as if appearing behind everyone at the same time.
The next second,
These soldiers only felt a chill in their necks, and before they could react, they saw a blood mark slowly appearing on the necks of their companions in front of them...blood flowing!
Plop, plop...
Then one by one, they fell straight down.
"Remember!"
"The murderer is the leader of the Star Luo Empire, Zhu Fan!"
After that,
Zhu Fan looked at the wide-open north gate of Wuping City and smiled excitedly, "Almost everyone subconsciously thinks..."
"If you want to attack the city, you must have enough siege equipment, and almost all your attention is on siege equipment."
"But Chengfeng did the opposite!"
"From the beginning to the end, he never planned to attack Wuping; everything was to paralyze the opponent!"
"Truly, it's a wise decision!"
At this time,
The soldiers of Wuping City on the city wall had already noticed something strange at the city gate.
When they hurried down and saw Zhu Fan and his fallen companions, their pupils shrank and their faces were full of shock.
"The Soul Douluo of the Star Luo Empire?!"
"How did he suddenly appear at the city gate? I didn't see anyone coming before!"
However, despite the confusion, the leading commander reacted very quickly.
He shouted directly: "Come here, inform the city lord that Wu'an City is attacking!"
Then, he turned his head and looked at the soldiers beside him, "The rest of you, charge and kill him!"
"He is just one person!"
"Even if he is a Soul Douluo, there are so many of us... Even if we have to fight, we can drain his soul power!"
Zhu Fan looked at the guard in front of him with a look of fear, and showed a disdainful smile, "Who said I am just one person?"
Boom——!
At this time, 800 meters outside Wuping City, a seemingly ordinary rock wall exploded.
"Kill!"
Instantly, the shouting and killing sounded like thunder.
Two hundred Wu'an City soldiers wearing black armor and holding long swords swept towards the gate of Wuping City like a huge wave.
Their eyes were red, and the anger of revenge was burning in their eyes.
Zhu Fan looked at the soldiers behind him, raising his arms and shouting: "All soldiers, listen to my orders, follow me to defend the gate of Wuping City for half an hour!"
"As long as the time is not up, even if we fight to the last man, we will never be allowed to retreat a single step! Kill!"
After the words fell,
Zhu Fan had turned into a shadow and rushed into the crowd first.
"Chengfeng, it's up to you next!"
...
In the heavy rain, there was a vast rain curtain between heaven and earth.
An army of about 10,000 people marched silently in the rain.
Their steps were neat, the black armor on their bodies was washed by the rain and shone with cold light, the long spears in their hands were tightly grasped, and the tip of the spear flashed with cold light.
Except for the sound of rain hitting the armor, there was no extra complexity...
The strict discipline was awe-inspiring.
Flutter!
Suddenly, an owl martial soul flapped its wings and flew in the heavy rain, merging into the body of a scout.
Then the scout rode his horse and quickly came to the front of the silver-armored young general.
"Your Highness, Lord Zhu Fan has succeeded!"
"Now he is leading 200 first-line warriors to fight a bloody battle with the North Gate and Wuping City defenders!"
Boom——!
Thunder in the sky broke through the sky, illuminating the young general's resolute face, and rain slid down his angular features.
"Okay!"
The young man nodded slightly, then turned his head suddenly and shouted to the army behind him like a black torrent:
"Now!"
"Everyone follow me to charge and help Commander Zhu Fan!"
"Go!"
Dai Chengfeng squeezed his legs hard against the horse's belly, and the horse under his crotch raised its head and neighed, crushing the puddles under its feet like an arrow from a bow, and rushed towards Wuping City.
Boom boom boom...!
The army behind him followed closely, and the marching sound was like rolling thunder, which could shake the mountains and rivers!
