Douluo: Soul Shadow King.

Chapter 159 Shadow Legion, Working Together

After hearing Dugu Bo's voice, Ghost Douluo of "Chrysanthemum Pass" was afraid that Chrysanthemum Douluo's life would be in danger, so he immediately released nine soul rings. His body shook violently, and the black airflow dispersed the surrounding poisonous fog.

When the poisonous fog dissipated, Ghost Douluo also saw Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan lying on the ground, rolling his eyes, twitching his body, and foaming at the mouth. The moment he moved his feet, he exerted his maximum speed and rushed towards the latter's location.

At this moment, Ju Douluo's face was extremely pale, with white foam still on the corners of his mouth. Seeing his old friend being poisoned like this, Ghost Douluo's hands were shaking unconsciously.

The reason why he didn't take action before was because before he came, Ju Douluo patted his chest and guaranteed that as long as he released his soul skills, Dugu Bo would not be able to escape. But now, not only did Dugu Bo run away, he was also poisoned by Ju Douluo. What was going on?
"Old poisonous creature, you have such a cruel heart!" Ghost Douluo's face turned pale, and veins bulged on his clenched fists. If Dugu Bo was still in front of him, Ghost Douluo would definitely fight him to the death.

He and Ju Douluo have known each other for decades and can be said to be the closest friends. If something really happens to Ju Douluo, Ghost Douluo will not let Dugu Bo go even if he becomes a ghost.

“Juhuaguan, hold on for me, I will take you back to the Spirit Hall right now. We will definitely find a way.” Looking at his best friend’s twitching body, Ghost Douluo panicked for a moment. He picked up Judouluo’s body and jumped up, heading straight towards the outside of the Sunset Forest.

…………

Tiandou City, the back mountain of Seven Stars Academy.

There is a small lake here, with a diameter of only fifty meters. A stream about three meters wide quietly injects water from the other side of the woods and then flows back, keeping the entire pool in a state of running water.

Next to the pond, there is an antique octagonal pavilion. The shining sunlight shines on the roof of the pavilion. The golden glazed tiles are shining, and the vermilion columns are glowing red, which looks particularly dazzling.

There is a fence around the pavilion, and various flowers are planted inside the fence. They are blooming, colorful and beautiful.

A young man in black sat in a corner of the pavilion, his eyes fixed on the beautiful flowers, silent.

Next to the young man in black were two shadow soldiers in black armor who were half-kneeling on the ground. A rare look of curiosity appeared in their eyes.

"What's wrong with the king?" asked the shadow soldier Fang.

"I'm not very clear. This is the first time I see the king like this. Is it that some blind guy has offended the king?" said the shadow soldier Ghost Leopard.

The rest of the shadow soldiers looked at each other, all with puzzled expressions on their faces.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing..." The giant dragon Nash, who was half-kneeling on the ground, looked at Cheng Xiao with a calm expression and couldn't help asking.

However, the moment he opened his mouth, Cheng Xiao, who had been silent, looked at him. Confronting the eyes that symbolized the King of Death, the dragon Nash opened his mouth but could not say anything.

"Nash, tell me why your power is not restricted by the power of death. Is it because you were once a subordinate of the Dragon Emperor, or because you absorbed the two dragon souls?" Cheng Xiao asked calmly. "My Lord, please forgive my sins." The giant dragon Nash put his head on the ground and explained, "As the commander of the Light Dragon Corps, the Dragon Emperor will give us some powers, just like the Runestone I gave you, which was transformed from the Dragon Emperor's power and my power when I was alive."

"As for the two dragon souls you mentioned, they have greatly improved me. Because of this, my strength has been restored to the level before my death. This is also the reason why I am not affected by your power and have not been weakened."

"Oh, so, in other words, the remaining power of the two dragon souls allows you to be free from the restrictions of my current strength?" Cheng Xiao asked calmly.

"That's probably it, Your Majesty." The giant dragon Nash didn't dare to raise his head, and said respectfully, "In fact, as shadow soldiers, we can feel the emotions in your heart. Your Majesty, you seem to have doubts and puzzled emotions. Nash dares to ask, I wonder if Your Majesty can speak out, maybe in this way, your emotions will be relieved."

Hearing this, Cheng Xiao shook his head and said calmly: "Nash, do you think that an ordinary person who has never killed a chicken will become extremely fond of killing just because he has gained power?"

"Just like when I asked you to kill Titan yesterday, can you tell me what you thought?"

Hearing this, the giant dragon Nash looked up in surprise, seeming a little confused as to why the king asked this. But soon, he figured it out. The king in front of him was not the second-generation Shadow King who made the Dragon Emperor tremble with fear, nor was he the Shadow King who possessed divine power. The king in front of him was just a king who had obtained the power of the Shadow King but had not fully grown up.

Cheng Xiao is still in the growth stage. He does not have the choice given by the system, nor the choice of dying if he does not kill like Cheng Xiaoyu. All along, he has awakened the power of the Shadow King and has been doing what he thinks is right.

But now, he felt that he was becoming more and more indifferent. This indifference was not towards interpersonal relationships, but towards life. In his eyes, there was no difference between killing a soul master and killing a soul beast. But the more this was the case, the more worried he became.

He knew clearly that this power came from the Shadow King, not from himself. If one day, he lost the power of the Shadow King, then would his situation be the same as that of the killed Titan, powerless and unable to resist, and could only allow the other party to kill him?

Cheng Xiaoyu has family and friends to protect, so he didn't lose himself in the abyss of power, but can he? His friends seemed to be friends he made by knowing what was going on. He seemed to have never really examined anything, but just relied on his familiarity with the plot and this foresight to become their friends.

"Your Majesty, although you appear mature and have extreme control over everything, you are still just a teenager." The dragon Nash raised his head, stared into Cheng Xiao's eyes, and said seriously: "You are still in the growth stage. We soldiers are honored to follow behind you and witness your growth."

"Sometimes, I even wonder if we, the shadow soldiers, would be so loyal to you if you had the same temperament as the Dragon Emperor. But after thinking about it carefully, I realized that the reason we can follow you is because of the power of the king. But what I want to say is that because it is you, Cheng Xiao, we are willing to follow in your footsteps and believe that you can become a great king."

Just as the giant dragon Nash finished speaking, all the shadow soldiers at the foot of Cheng Xiao jumped out of the shadows and knelt down in front of Cheng Xiao. "Your Majesty, we are willing to follow in your footsteps. Please don't leave us alone to bear it!"

Watching this scene, Cheng Xiao suddenly had an indescribable feeling. His eyes fell on each shadow soldier. After a while, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. Cheng Xiao looked at the shadow soldiers quietly. Although he did not speak, he could feel the soldiers' heartfelt loyalty in his heart.

Perhaps, he was not alone, at least, there were many soldiers following him.
