Chapter 2: The Alternation of the Sun and the Moon
Douluo Continent, Sun and Moon Empire, Ming Capital, Imperial City.
Tonight's night was unusual, with a dark sky as far as the eye could be, and only a mirror-like moon hanging over it, making it look particularly monotonous and lonely.
The clear moonlight pours into the majestic imperial city, adding to the beauty.
However, at this time, in the imperial city, there were roaring sounds, killing shouts, and from time to time mixed with the sounds of crying and begging for mercy.
The air was filled with a strong, substance-like smell of blood, as if a few more breaths would block your nose.
The style is beautiful and elegant, with a light blue glazed tile roof; white jade railings; The elaborate bluestone abutment, lined with goose-yellow walls, used to look elegant and dignified, bright and beautiful, but now it has been completely destroyed by the battlefield of fighting, dilapidated, and covered with blood that has been smeared like red paint.
The lights in the imperial city were shining, as if it were day, and as time passed, the attacking side had occupied an absolute advantage, surrounded by heavy surrounds, and pressed step by step.
The result is already predictable, and it won't be long before the last defense of these guards will be routed and wiped out.
The eyes of these forbidden soldiers were full of confusion and fear of radical death, they did not understand, they slept well in the middle of the night, and suddenly they were killed in the lair, or they were stabbed in the back of their own national army.
It's not that they haven't thought about surrendering, no one is not afraid of death, let alone dying unexplained, but so many people surrendered before, but they were greeted by countless soul guide rays, which were directly blasted into bloody corpses, which made them completely desperate.
The bloodshot eyes of the commander of the forbidden army stared at the back of the enemy, where several figures stood, shouting: "Brothers, they want to kill them all, even if we die, we will bite off their flesh!" ”
When the forbidden troops heard this, they frantically launched a suicidal attack, completely abandoning their defenses, and causing a lot of casualties to the opposite side for a while.
The commander of the forbidden army ignited a blood-colored flame, and his soul power burst out, and he was fully transported to the two-meter-long giant metal broadsword in his hand, two yellow, two purple and five black, a total of nine soul rings floated around the metal giant, and the third, seventh, and ninth soul rings flickered in turn.
He is a Title Douluo, a powerhouse of a ninth-level soul master.
The blood-red sword rays continued to extend from the metal giant of the ninth-level soul guide, expanding, condensing, and majestic, stirring the heaven and earth spiritual power of the entire battlefield.
"Defend with all your might!"
The face of the officer commanding the attack changed drastically, he felt a thick breath of death, and his whole body was like a pinprick on his feet. He wanted to retreat, but his master was behind him, how could he retreat.
As soon as the words fell, the blood-red sword mangs struck like Mount Tai's top, and the more than a dozen soul guide shields that had just been established were instantly shattered, and where the swords passed, the soldiers didn't even have time to make a sound, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into blood, like purgatory on earth.
The officer's face was distorted in pain, his entire left hand disappeared, and he escaped death with the strength of Contra, urging his soul power to seal the wound and endure the pain to stabilize the scene.
After many obstacles, the blood-colored sword light was slightly dimmed, but it still roared towards the middle-aged man in a luxurious yellow robe behind him.
"Stop!"
A figure blocked in front of the yellow-robed man, a silver-white metal shield emerged, the figure stepped forward with his right foot, holding the shield in both hands, two yellow, two purple and five black, and nine soul rings with the same best ratio appeared behind him.
Ninth-level soul master, don't break Douluo, Zheng Zhan!
The seventh and eighth soul rings flickered, and the silver-white metal shield was connected to the ground beneath him, and the earth-colored rock layer covered it, which was indestructible. At the same time, one by one, the defensive soul guides should not be thrown out like money.
The two forces collided, and time seemed to stop for a moment, and then then.
"Boom-"
The deafening sound resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the strong shock wave spread out in a semicircle, lasting for a long time.
The thick smoke and dust filled the air, making it impossible to see the battlefield clearly.
Looking down from the sky, I saw a blood-colored ravine that was thousands of meters long and tens of meters wide across the imperial city.
The sword gradually subsided in front of Zheng Zhan, and the aftermath of the collision between the two turned the buildings in this area to ashes, and the ground seemed to be ploughed countless times, but the ground behind Zheng Zhan was flat and did not suffer the impact of destruction.
Zheng Zhan's hands trembled, his face flushed, the qi and blood in his body surged, the blood couldn't stop coughing up, and the silver-white metal giant shield was also covered with cracks, as if it would be shattered into countless pieces in the next moment.
Seeing this, a soul master from the healing department immediately went up to heal him.
The yellow-robed man walked up to Zheng Zhan's side, his temples were white, he looked like he was in his fifties, but his body was still burly, and his knife-like face was heroic and noble.
"Elder Zheng, it doesn't matter if the injury is serious, do you want to retreat and repair it?"
"Ahem, cough, Your Royal Highness, the old man is fine, if it weren't for the fact that he had been fighting for a long time before and had consumed a lot of soul power, otherwise in the face of this fatal blow, even if the old man could block it, I am afraid that he would be hit hard."
Zheng Zhan shook his head, a hint of happiness flashing in his eyes.
"Time is pressing, His Royal Highness the Prince should hurry up and get down to business, my old bones can still be used."
When the prince heard this, he looked at the main hall in front of him, which was no longer defenceless, and his face was full of enthusiasm and excitement.
"That's right, the night is long and there are many dreams, and Lao Zheng will continue to accompany this king."
Walk past the commander of the forbidden army, who is already dead and half-kneeling with a sword in his hand.
"Squeak—"
The door of the main hall was slowly pushed open, and the soldiers walked in with the prince in their arms, Zheng Zhan following him closely.
The hall was resplendent and the lights were shining, but the vast hall was empty at this time, only a person sat on the dragon chair at the end of the steps, the current emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire.
"What about Kong Lao, what about the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Legion? There was such a big thing in the palace, why didn't they react at all?! ”
Emperor Sun and Moon's sunken eyes stared at the prince, and he instantly understood, he was very inward-looking, and his voice was hoarse: "Second brother, it's too late for you to stop now, if you have any ideas, can't we sit down and talk to you kindly?" ”
"Hahaha! Sit down and talk amicably? ”
The prince laughed wildly as if he had heard a big joke, and looked at the thin body of the Sun Moon Emperor who was hollowed out by wine, and his eyes were disdainful.
"For so many years, you will only loot the people's fat and ointment, greedy for pleasure, disregard the government and government, officials are corrupt, so many brothers have died in the frontier, in the face of the three major countries that originally belonged to Douluo, you have retreated again and again, and you will only compromise, can they turn a blind eye? Shen Zhen under the fierce medicine, the troubled times use heavy code, only a ruthless knife can cut off the tumor! ”
The Sun Moon Emperor raised his hand and pointed at the prince, his dry fingers trembled, and he shouted hoarsely: "Before I die, I will also let you go to hell!" ”
The lights flickered, illuminating the shadow of the Sun and Moon Emperor.
Zheng Zhan's face changed, the uneasiness in his heart was strongly amplified, and he turned his head sharply to look at the prince's shadow, only to see a black shadow crawling out of it, and the black blade slashed towards the prince's neck.
Shadow Demon Douluo? Wasn't he already dead, how could he still be alive and stay by the side of the Sun and Moon Emperor?
Zheng Zhan's face was incredulous, he wanted to rescue, but found that his body was immobile, and the shadow had been nailed.
Between the lightning and flint, the space was distorted, and a white and flawless jade hand suddenly appeared, reaching out to hold the blade.
The shadow was stunned, and then the blade turned, piercing the incoming man's chest at a tricky angle, and then plunged headlong into the shadow of the prince, and the next moment it emerged from the shadow of the Sun and Moon Emperor, reached out and lifted the Sun and Moon Emperor, broke through the dome, and fled.
"Kill them!"
"Anyone who is in the emperor's line, not a single one will be left!"
The prince was so angry that the clothes on his back were soaked with cold sweat, and he was so cold that he almost capsized in the gutter.
The dark night sky couldn't see his five fingers, and Shadow Demon Douluo flew with the Sun and Moon Emperor, and the darkness around him was permeated, covering the aura of his body.
At this moment, the crimson sun beam fell from the sky, instantly engulfing the shadow and the sun and moon emperor in mid-air, the terrifying high temperature melted through everything, and the air sneered and sent out white air waves, and then, thousands of white meteors swayed down, like a meteor shower across the sky, beautiful and deadly.
"Ahhh!!h
Shadow Sha and the Sun and Moon Emperor struggled for only a moment, and then they were reduced to ashes in the dazzling light, and their bones were gone!
The aftermath of the crimson sun's beam bombarded the ground, melting through a bottomless red hole, terrifying.
Above the imperial city, thousands of meters in the sky.
Five figures hung in the air, and in the center was a tall, ruddy-faced, bald old man, with a crimson ball of light hanging above the old man's head, exuding terrifying power, surrounded by countless soul guides, shining, like a galaxy paved with fine quicksand lying on the night sky.
Ninth-level soul master, Starry Sky Douluo, Ye Yulin!
The strength of the other four figures is not weak, they are all eighth-level soul masters, the cultivation of Contra.
Their purpose here is to kill all enemies who want to escape from the air and prevent accidents.
Ye Yulin's breath was weak, and the blow just now almost drained all his soul power, which was the strength of five people, and he would be killed with one blow.
With the ninth-level soul guide, the Sun God Needle, that is, the crimson light cluster above his head, he could clearly perceive every grass, tree, brick and tile in the imperial city.
But before the shadow appeared, he didn't notice anything wrong, and when he reacted, he couldn't find a chance to attack, so he couldn't kill the prince together.
"Alas, it's a pity that the princess ......"
The lights in the hall were brilliant, but the prince did not feel a trace of warmth, only the cold to the bone.
At this time, there were only the prince, the princess, and an old woman who was treating the princess.
He held the princess's jade hand tightly, the dark toxin had invaded her heart, and she couldn't hold out for long.
"Why are you so stupid, didn't I let you stay in the dormitory and not come out?"
The princess's soft face was smiling, her red lips were stained with coughed up black blood, she was strange and poignant, and her light voice was intermittent.
"I ...... Worried about you...... Well, I don't ...... Regret, really, only regret...... Can't ...... in the future Accompany ...... again It's by your side......"
As she spoke, the princess raised her hand with difficulty and stroked her bulging belly, her eyes full of endless tenderness.
"I'm ...... No, keep ...... Kid, he's ...... Kick me...... He's about to ...... It's out, uh...... Ah......h
The old woman who was being treated made a move and looked at the prince, whose eyes were already red and swollen, and her voice was hoarse: "Keep the child!" ”
The four words seemed to drain all his strength and knelt beside the princess, but he was already the emperor but could not do anything at this time, he could only watch in pain from the sidelines, unable to do anything.
"Yes."
The seven soul rings of two yellow, two purple and three black around the old woman kept flickering, and countless emerald green leaves full of vitality surrounded the princess.
"Princess, bear with me, the child is coming out, it may be painful."
"Hmm...... Yes...... Ha ......"
The princess's pale face was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, and her jade hands clutched the hem of her skirt tightly, and her muscles burst out. She felt a heart-rending pain piercing her soul, nothing compared to the trauma inflicted on her by the Shadows.
"Take it easy, hold on a little longer, and you'll be fine in no time."
"Okay, okay, the child is safe, it's a boy."
The old woman's movements were gentle, and her gentle soul power cleaned up the baby's filth, but the boy was a little strange, not crying like an ordinary baby, but looking around curiously with his eyes open.
"Let me ...... Look, I'...... children. ”
The princess's weak voice sounded, and there was not a trace of blood on her pale face.
After being cleaned, the boy's skin was extremely fair and delicate, as if water could drip out with a slight pinch, black hair, and a pair of big eyes were also black.
The princess stretched out her jade hand tremblingly, her slender fingers gently rubbing his face, and her soft eyes looked at him steadily, as if she wanted to imprint him in her heart.
She wished she could just watch him all the time, be by his side, and watch him grow.
But her body, which was like a candle in the wind, made her understand the cruelty and helplessness of reality, and her eyes were full of tenderness and reluctance.
"Mom...... I'm sorry...... You, mom let you ...... Born in this ...... The world, but it can't ...... Love you so much...... I love you, and when you grow up...... Don't hate mom...... How are ......."
"You're so ...... Cute, grown up, definitely ...... Recruit a lot of girls...... Like, you can ...... I can't give up from the beginning, I hope you can ...... Find someone who loves you...... Take care of you...... Embrace you...... Good girl ......"
"You haven't ...... yet What's the name, huh...... It's called Lan Qing...... How about it, standing in chastity...... Contains Jade Run...... What a good name......"
"Lord Wang...... You said...... Is it good ......?"
"Okay, okay, what you said is right, it's me who is sorry for you, sorry for you......"
The prince hugged the princess tightly, his throat choked, he had never felt so heartache and remorse.
"Lan Qing, Mom...... Going to go......"
……
In the majestic and magnificent imperial city, the strong smell of blood after the tragic battle condensed in the air, like a faint red mist, making the imperial city a little weird, as if some evil ritual was being held.
Wisps of red mist rose into the air, and the space was visibly slightly distorted to the naked eye, as if some terrible existence had been attracted.
At this moment, an indescribable terrifying aura suddenly descended, and under the coercion, all living beings within a radius of hundreds of kilometers could not move, and their thinking stagnated.
A dazzling golden light pierced the dark night, and the light fell on the imperial city, followed by two, three, and countless golden rays followed, and the golden dragon with its whole body like gold soared into the sky, and then turned into a golden ball of light and drilled into the boy's mind.
The boy's pink and ruddy skin gradually revealed a golden light, and the golden light slowly flowed in the blood, spreading throughout the body, which was stable at first, but after a while, it became restless.
At this moment, a thunderous roar sounded in the sky, and at that moment, the dazzling golden light seemed to be shrouded in darkness, and the same suffocating coercion fell from the sky.
A gray air current, as if it had encountered a huge suction, fell from the sky, and in just an instant, it fell on the back of the boy's head and quietly drilled in.
A very vague figure appeared behind the boy, and the old voice sounded with an indescribable majesty, "Holding the sun and the moon and picking the stars, there is no one like me in the world!" I didn't expect the old man to have a trace of his remnant soul to survive. ”
The vague figure "swished" and disappeared into the back of the boy's head.
After the gray air flow entered Xu Lanqing's mind, it immediately turned into a gray bead only the size of a soybean grain, standing opposite the previous golden ball of light, forming a delicate balance between the two, and then they all fell silent, and the boy also calmed down.
Time flowed again, and the vision dissipated like a cloud, and no one knew what had happened.
……
In the vast Star Dou Great Forest, the core area that no one can step into, the deep underground of the Lake of Life.
Loneliness, silence, darkness.
It was a void space independent of the world, and a huge silver body lay in it, exuding a simple and strong aura around it, and the breath exhaled from it roared like a hurricane passing through, dissipated, and then reciprocated.
A vibrant emerald green solution dripped from high in the air, merging into its body, and its breath became thicker and longer.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, it let out a desolate and tragic dragon groan, it wanted to wake up, and the originally stable breath became chaotic, and finally gradually subsided.
The pale green surface of the Lake of Life is covered with a thin mist of water, and from a distance, it looks like a piece of green jade embedded in the ground, clear and beautiful.
Next to the Lake of Life, there are several figures, short, tall, fat and thin, each with its own characteristics.
The leader is a burly, almost three-meter-tall middle-aged man, with long black hair scattered behind him, a strand of golden hair hanging down on his forehead, a handsome and resolute appearance, with a bit of irresistible arrogance.
It is the current master of the Star Dou Great Forest, the existence of the top ten fierce beasts, the beast god, the emperor!
But at this time, when he heard the dragon's groan, his face was irrepressibly fanatical, and he knelt down excitedly facing the void space, as did the several figures behind him.
"Lord...... Lord, are you finally waking up? ”
The voice of pious anticipation echoed in the area, and the pale green lake rippled in circles, but after waiting for a long time, only the quiet air responded to him......
……
