Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 26 Mech Glory

"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!!" Changsha angrily pushed everything on the table to the ground, and the sounds of various items breaking and falling continued.

As the mayor of Linbing City, he had worked hard to climb to this position. Even though it was a second-tier city, it was still a glorious achievement. But today, a small incident almost cost him everything.

Linbing City is only a hundred kilometers away from the far north and is one of the few wealthy cities in the border region.

"Mayor, as you know, we can't stop them at all. Their speed is close to 700 kilometers per hour, which is comparable to the speed of a mecha. Moreover, we can't use force during the pursuit for fear of damaging public property or causing casualties. Even if they leave the city, the vast expanse of snow and ice makes tracking very difficult. Even if we successfully intercept them, the overall strength of the enemy is unknown. They were able to hijack six different trains in four cities of the Federation, and five of them were successful. The only one that wasn't hijacked was taken by a Title Douluo powerhouse. Just from these points, the strength of those terrorists cannot be weak. At the same time, they are really vicious. Every so often, they cut off a carriage. At that time, we still have to rescue people and cannot organize an effective pursuit."

Changsha clenched his fist and looked at the executive officer Ze Tao in front of him. "I don't care what methods you have. I'm giving you the maximum authority. If you don't have people to find, and you don't have mechs to buy, you must capture those people, or you and I will both be dismissed." After sitting down to calm down, Changsha clenched his right hand, and a blue screen appeared in front of him. "These are the satellite coordinates. The train is here?" Changsha said slowly. "It's obviously abandoned. The nearest city is Nona Lin City, also known as the Forgotten City. They must have gone there. This journey is indeed too dangerous, but it still has to be done. It's the Federation's order, and I can't refuse. Otherwise, I would have kept this a secret long ago."

"Yes!" Zetao gave a formal salute and left quickly. He seemed to listen to Changsha, but in reality, he wanted Changsha to step down more than anyone else.

……

As Gu You approached the city, he was stunned. This was nothing like what he had seen from afar; it was a wasteland with countless huge, thick purple vines extending to the rooftops of tall buildings, and a stench of decay permeating the surroundings.

The further in you go, the fewer vines you see, and the shadows of people appear. But are those people still human? Their bones are exposed, their eyes are lifeless, and they wander aimlessly like zombies.

Snapped!

All that could be heard was the sound of bones breaking, and then the person stopped breathing.

The soul is gone. Gu You whispered, "Looks like we need to be careful; a real enemy is coming."

"See those? Those are our followers, the most loyal ones," the masked leader in black said menacingly.

No one dared to speak.

……

"We both know that there's at least one evil Soul Master at the Contra Douluo level there. I need your help... Alright, thanks." Ze Tao stroked his purple-grade mecha. "Old buddy, if you manage to come back alive this time, I'll definitely upgrade you to black-grade."

"Boarding!"

Dozens of purple-level mechs began to activate, and a pair of pitch-black mechanical eyes slowly opened, revealing their merciless, crimson light.

"war!"

The roar of engines and the angry shouts of the entire law enforcement team filled the sky.

……

"Stay inside, everyone. Don't try anything clever."

boom!

The dark prison door was closed, leaving only the sound of the lock clicking shut.

"We're doomed! We're doomed!"

Everyone was immersed in despair, except for Gu You, who calmly meditated to ensure his physical peak performance.

chatter!

Gu You's stomach growled slightly. "I'm speechless. Why now? For some reason, I didn't feel hungry at all just a few days ago." He seemed to have an answer in mind: "Could it be because I came into contact with the Silver Dragon King?"

Without a word, a faint light flashed in Gu You's hand, and a 500-calorie energy bar appeared in his grasp. Before leaving, he had prepared quite a lot of things, including no less than six kilograms of this simple, high-calorie food. Since he had plenty of storage space, he could buy more in case of emergencies, and now he had indeed come in handy.

Gu You put it in his mouth and chewed it; it tasted like apple.

"Yours..." Gu You was startled and looked over. He saw a pair of round eyes staring at him in the darkness.

Oh no! Gu You quickly gestured for the girl to be quiet, then took out a lollipop, slowly placed it on the ground, and flicked it towards the girl, hoping to bribe her successfully. Gu You remained silent.

If everyone present knew he had food, the only outcome would be fighting and killing each other. It wasn't that Gu You didn't want to save people, but his strength was too weak, and he could only protect himself. If he were a Title Douluo now, let alone saving them, he would have countless ways to even reform those evil soul masters.

"Xiaoyu, where did you get your candy?" Qianyu's mother, with disheveled hair, looked at the girl with trembling hands.

"Hmm..." the girl remained silent.

"Hehe, it must be someone, it must be someone! That person must have food, but who is it? Who is it?!" She had gone completely mad.

……

"emission."

Seven level-six fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells flew out of the mech at extremely high speed, blasting towards the city below.

Boom!

The explosions continued incessantly. These level-six soul-guided shells were equipped with eighteen dispersed warheads, and their combined damage was equivalent to that of a level-seven shell.

Immediately following the sound of the engine pulling and switching, countless bullet holes appeared on the backs and shoulders of more than a dozen mechs—hundreds of bullets! Hundreds of level-four direct-fire soul-guided cannon shells rained down from each mech.

Air raid sirens began to sound throughout the city, and from hidden underground locations, countless anti-air defense soul-guided cannons aimed at the sky, while waves of evil aura surged upwards!

There were three Soul Emperors, six Soul Kings, and countless others below them. However, many evil Soul Masters below the Soul Sect level suffered considerable damage, with virtually none remaining unscathed. The bombardment just now was all-encompassing, leaving no corner untouched.

"Damn it! They actually dared to chase us all the way here. Do they really think this is part of the Federation?" A Soul Emperor evil Soul Master roared, his sixth Soul Ring lighting up in black—a true ten-thousand-year Soul Skill.

An evil god has descended upon the world!

The sky began to darken, and a colossal, dark creature slowly emerged in the sky.

"Hahaha! Look closely, this is a monster formed from the vengeful spirits of countless Douluo people. These spirits hate us, but they can't kill me. But today, they can kill you. All that so-called protection, all that so-called duty, will vanish into thin air. Look, how the very people the Federation once protected will devour you bit by bit!!"
