Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 191 The Final Battle and the Sacrifice to the Flag

Xingluo City has been the capital of the Xingluo Empire for ten thousand years, and countless generations have participated in its construction and defense.

For an empire renowned for its military might, the construction of Silla Castle was nothing short of perfect. The city walls, hundreds of meters high, were filled with soldiers in various armors and even large defensive equipment, making it look like an iron fortress from a distance.

If only ordinary soldiers or low-level Soul Masters had come, Star Luo City would likely have been a formidable fortress, an insurmountable barrier blocking their path. But this was Douluo Continent, a fantasy world. High-level Soul Masters could use Soul Skills to break through, and Title Douluos could ignore these defenses. In the eyes of a god, these defenses were as flimsy as paper.

On this day, the Martial Soul Empire's forces had been fully assembled, with a million-strong army divided into various squares and distributed in front of Star Luo City.

At the forefront was the Elephant Armor Sect Soul Master Legion, renowned for its defensive capabilities, comprising various troop types including cavalry, infantry, heavy infantry, archers, and shield bearers, all deployed according to plan.

On the newly built high platform, Bibi Dong, the emperor of the Spirit Empire and the Rakshasa Goddess, personally took command. Beside her was the Angel Goddess Qian Renxue, and below were more than a dozen Title Douluo. Whether it was the six great elders of the Spirit Empire or all the elders, they were all gathered here.

On the high platform, Bibi Dong gently waved her hand, and a Soul Master took out Emperor Bibi Dong's decree and began to read it aloud. Clearly, this Soul Master was extremely powerful and had a very loud voice. Both the Spirit Empire's army and the Star Luo Empire's army on the opposite city wall could hear it clearly.

"By order of His Majesty the Emperor of the Spirit Empire, the Dai family of the Star Luo Empire has repeatedly launched wars, engaging in militarism and causing numerous deaths among the people. In order to unify the entire continent and for the freedom of all Soul Masters and people of the Douluo Continent, our Spirit Empire hereby launches a campaign against the Star Luo Empire."

"Dugu Bo, a former guest elder of the Heaven Dou Empire, has repeatedly poisoned civilians, causing countless deaths. Tang Lie, a remnant of the Clear Sky Sect, has betrayed his promise and come out of seclusion to slaughter the soldiers of my Martial Soul Empire."

"Although these two are titled Douluo, they are heinous criminals and scum of the Soul Master world. They should be executed to sacrifice for the great cause of our Spirit Empire."

After the words were spoken, all the soldiers were in an uproar. In the past, the titled Douluo were all high and mighty, but now these two were killed to sacrifice to the flag, which was indeed inspiring.

Especially Dugu Bo, who was skilled in using poison and was known as the Poison Douluo, had an extremely poor reputation in the Soul Master world. Many people feared him and dared not speak out against him. Now that he had killed Jiqi, it was clear that the Spirit Empire was powerful.

At a single command, Dugu Bo and Tang Lie, whose soul power had already been sealed, were forced onto the high platform and made to kneel there, their faces directly facing the soldiers in front of them, as well as the Star Luo City in front of them. If the soul masters on Star Luo City had good eyesight, they could even see the two of them clearly.

At this time, the morale of the Star Luo Empire was relatively low, especially among the Shrek Academy and the Clear Sky Sect. Dugu Bo was Tang San's close friend despite their age difference and was also a guest elder of Shrek Academy, while Tang Lie was an elder of the Clear Sky Sect and of considerable seniority.

The faces of the Haotian Sect members were ashen, and their expressions were even somewhat distorted.

Tang Lie is the last remaining elder of the Haotian Sect and one of the representatives of the radical faction. He is quite popular within the sect.

Of course, the most heartbroken person was Tang Chen. He had finally met an outstanding disciple, only to be met with this kind of scene: "That's Tang Lie. I never imagined that the Martial Soul Empire would be so ruthless as to use a disciple of my Clear Sky Sect as a sacrifice."

As for Dugu Bo, although he was Tang San's close friend despite their age difference and had provided him with considerable assistance, their relationship was far less close than in the original story. Dugu Bo never provided any immortal herbs to the group, and his importance to them was significantly less.

Tang San gritted his teeth: "I never imagined that the Spirit Empire would be so ruthless and despicable, actually using my family and friends as a sacrifice."

Yu Xiaogang quickly said, "Xiao San, don't panic. The Spirit Empire's actions are clearly intended to unsettle you. If we rush to rescue you, we'll fall right into their trap."

"Teacher, don't worry, my heart will not waver. On the contrary, it will only become more resolute. I, Tang San, swear that I will destroy the Spirit Empire in this lifetime and avenge everyone!"

On the high platform of the Spirit Empire, after the crimes of the two men were read aloud, two sword-wielding spirit masters placed their swords against their necks.

The Soul Master who read out the charges against the two spoke again: "His Majesty the Emperor is merciful. He is giving you two one last chance. If you are willing to surrender to my Spirit Empire, you may still have a chance to live."

Upon hearing this, Tang Lie cursed, "Spirit Empire, if you have the guts, just kill me! I, Tang Lie, am a man of integrity, and even in death I will not grovel like you bastards. What kind of hero is Bibi Dong, a god, to deal with us mortals? I, Tang Lie, will haunt you even as a ghost!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo also spoke up: "Although I am not a good person, I am still a person of some standing, a guest of the royal family of the Tian Tou Empire, and I still have face to save. So what if I die? Kill me if you want, I won't even bat an eye."

The people on the platform remained indifferent, clearly not caring about what the two had said.

Immediately after the order was given, the two executioners stabbed Tang Lie and Dugu Bo in the neck, instantly separating their heads from their bodies, blood flowing three feet deep, and they died on the spot.

The crowd below cheered as they watched the splattering blood and the head flying away!

"Long live the Spirit Empire! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!..."

The sound instantly resounded throughout the heavens and earth, lingering for a long time.

At this moment, Emperor Bibi Dong stood up, and everyone around her also stood up. Bibi Dong was wearing golden armor and a golden crown, and her face was so beautiful that it seemed to captivate all living beings.

A melodious voice, imbued with boundless magic, resounded throughout the army: "Soldiers of the Spirit Empire, for the great cause of our Spirit Empire, let us all fight with all our might!"

Immediately afterwards, a huge horn sounded, and the final war officially broke out. Countless army camps began to march towards Xingluo City in an orderly manner.

After all the titled Douluo present bowed to Bibi Dong, they quickly flew to their respective army camps. They were the main force in this war and the backbone of each army, while Golden Crocodile Douluo served as the commander-in-chief of the army.

Leading the way were shield bearers and heavy infantry, with each unit type working in coordination and cooperation.

On the Star Luo Empire's side, the White Tiger Emperor and Empress, clad in full armor, stood atop the city wall: "Soldiers of the Star Luo Empire, for the Star Luo Empire, for the people of the Star Luo Empire, for the glory of the Empire, kill these invaders!"

At the White Tiger Emperor's command, all the soldiers cheered: "Long live the Star Luo Empire! Long live the White Tiger Emperor!..."

All the armies were mobilized, and the final battle finally broke out.
