Douluo: Shark Hunting Blade, Lurking in the Dark!

Dugu Bo's voice was extremely firm.

"it is good."

Lan looked at Dugu Bo deeply.

at this time,

Qian Renxue walked slowly towards Lan, accompanied by four Titled Douluo: Thorny Porcupine, Snake Spear, Yueguan, and Guimei.

"Big brother, how is the situation?"

Qian Renxue looked at Lan and asked.

After hearing this, Lan slowly said, "I plan to let Dugu Bo release some snake venom to give them a warning. If the two empires are willing to surrender, the soldiers and ordinary people can be spared."

"But all the nobles, officers, including Emperor Xue Ye and Emperor Xing Luo, all committed suicide."

“That’s the maximum I give them.”

"If they still refuse to change their ways."

Although Lan's tone was calm, it revealed a cold murderous intent, as if he was stating a trivial matter.

A Dugu Bo with full firepower,

Poisoning an entire city is no problem at all.

Everyone present understood what Lan meant.

But they didn't think there was anything wrong.

After all, Lan has given them room for choice, and war is cruel.

If Emperor Xue Ye and Emperor Xing Luo insist on not surrendering, will the Spirit Hall indulge them and give them a chance to survive?

Lan could have avoided committing too much murder.
But that doesn't mean he can't do it.

Moreover,

Lan used to be a killer.

I have long lost interest in life.

In Lan's world, there are only goals and results, and the process is just a means to achieve the goal.

…………

Inside the Tiandou Palace, the atmosphere was so heavy that it was almost suffocating.

Emperor Xue Ye sat on the throne with a gloomy face and an anxiety that was difficult to conceal between his brows.

Beside him, Emperor Xingluo also had a stern expression, his hands tightly gripping the armrests, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

High-ranking military officers from the two empires stood on both sides, each of them with an expression of anxiety and despair on their face.

Even though the two empires joined forces, they were still defeated by the Spirit Hall and now can only hide in Tiandou City, barely surviving.

The former glory and honor have now vanished, leaving only endless regret and fear.

Emperor Xue Ye's heart was filled with regret.

He recalled that he had the opportunity to form an alliance with Lan, but because of his momentary arrogance and Yu Xiaogang's instigation, he chose to break with Lan completely.

Now, Lan has become their biggest enemy, and Yu Xiaogang has long turned into a cold corpse.

Emperor Xue Ye even wanted to dig Yu Xiaogang out of the grave and whip his corpse to vent his anger.

"Don't worry, everyone. Our Tiandou City is impregnable. Even if the Spirit Hall army is powerful, they will not be able to break through our Tiandou City wall in a short time."

Emperor Xue Ye forced himself to remain calm and tried to calm everyone.

However, there was a hint of weakness in his voice that was difficult to conceal.

Upon hearing this, Xing Luo Emperor frowned and said in a heavy tone: "Even if Tiandou City has strong defenses, if the Spirit Hall stays outside Tiandou City for a year or two, I'm afraid we will collapse due to lack of food. This is a situation where we are almost certain to die..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire palace fell into silence.

Everyone knows that what Xingluo Emperor said is not alarmist, but the naked reality.

No matter how strong Tiandou City is, it cannot withstand the erosion of time.

Once the food and grass are exhausted,

The city will be plunged into chaos.

By then, the Spirit Hall would not even need to attack the city and could easily capture it. Emperor Xue Ye opened his mouth, but did not know how to refute.

He also knew clearly in his heart that the current situation had reached a point of life and death.

however,
As the king of a country, he cannot show the slightest weakness and can only maintain his last bit of dignity.

Just then, a soldier rushed into the palace with a look of panic on his face.

He knelt on one knee and reported in a trembling voice: "It's bad, Your Majesty! Lan is here! And... he brought Poison Douluo Dugu Bo with him!"

"Lan and Dugu Bo..."

Upon hearing these two names, Emperor Xue Ye and Emperor Xing Luo stood up instantly and their faces changed suddenly.

Lan's name has long become a psychological shadow for everyone present.

And Dugu Bo's name made this fear even more severe.

His poison skills are unmatched, and conquering cities is as easy as taking something from a bag. He is a nightmare on the battlefield.

The atmosphere in the palace instantly dropped to freezing point, and despair was written all over everyone's face.

Lan and Dugu Bo being together almost announced the end of Tiandou City.

Emperor Xue Ye clenched his fists tightly, and his knuckles made a crackling sound due to the force.

His heart was filled with resentment and anger, but he was powerless to change the situation.

Emperor Xing Luo had a dejected look on his face, as if he had already seen the end.

"Is there really no way out?"

An officer murmured in a low voice, with endless despair in his voice.

No one answered the officer's question.

"Or... let's surrender."

The officer's voice trembled, as if he had used up all his strength to say this.

however,
As soon as his proposal was put forward, it was immediately met with strong opposition from everyone.

"Surrender? Are you crazy?!" a noble shouted, his face livid, "Once you surrender, all of us will surely die! Spirit Hall will never let us go!"

"That's right! Surrendering means seeking death!"

Another officer echoed, with a hint of anger and reluctance in his tone.

The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became more oppressive, as if even the air had solidified.

Everyone is weighing the pros and cons, but no matter what choice they make, it seems that they cannot escape the shadow of death.

At this moment, a rough and loud voice rang out in the palace, breaking the silence.

"Why surrender?!"

The voice was as deafening as thunder, carrying an unquestionable majesty.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw four figures slowly walking out from the crowd.

Their steps were firm and their eyes were sharp, as if they carried an invisible sense of oppression.

These four people are none other than Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Po clan, Bai He, the patriarch of the Min clan, Niu Gao, the patriarch of the Yu clan, and Tai Tan, the patriarch of the Li clan.

Their four major families have an irreconcilable hatred with the Spirit Hall, and the relationship has long been a life-and-death one.

Now, faced with the proposal of surrender, they naturally firmly opposed it.

Yang Wudi walked in the front, his eyes swept through the crowd like a knife, his voice was cold and firm: "Once we surrender, the Spirit Hall will definitely unify the continent. By then, our family, our beliefs, and everything we have will be completely destroyed!

"Don't forget our original purpose!"

His words were like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard.

Yang Wudi continued, "No matter how powerful Dugu Bo's poison is, it is essentially just a type of snake venom. My Pozhi clan has been an expert in using poison since ancient times. We have our own way to deal with his snake venom!"

His tone was full of confidence, as if Dugu Bo's poison was just a trick in his eyes.

"As for Lan..."

Yang Wudi's voice paused slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, "Do you really think that he can break through the entire Tiandou City and the joint defense of the two empires by himself?!"
