Douluo Continent: The Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Darkness, the Dragon Emperor Breaks Through the

Zhu Zhuqing stood in the shadow of the city tower, watching those people talking, laughing, and discussing the battle situation in the morning light.

She didn't go over; she just stood there quietly, like a dispensable shadow.

She held a short sword in her hand, the blade still stained with blood—the blood from her first murder the night before.

A Soul Master from the Sun Moon Continent climbed up the broken city wall, holding a Soul Guidance Device in his hand, and aimed it at Ning Rongrong.

She didn't know what she was thinking at that moment; she only knew that her body moved faster than her mind.

The Netherworld Cat moved with incredible speed, thrusting its short sword straight into the throat.

The man didn't even have time to scream before he collapsed, his eyes wide open, dying with his eyes still open.

Zhu Zhuqing was neither afraid nor regretful at the time.

She just realized that this is what murder is like.

I didn't feel anything special.

But now, as the sun rises, as the morning light shines on her hands, as she sees the dried bloodstains that are still seeping, her heart begins to beat so fast that she can hardly breathe.

"Sister Zhuqing".

Ning Rongrong ran over and took her hand.

"What are you doing standing here? Aren't you going to eat breakfast?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at her and shook her head.

"I'm not hungry."

Ning Rongrong tilted her head.

You don't look well.

Are you injured?

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head.

"No."

Ning Rongrong looked at her, then at the short sword in her hand, as if she understood something. She didn't ask any further questions, but simply took her hand.

"Let's go have a bowl of porridge."

"I felt better after drinking the porridge."

Zhu Zhuqing was pulled by her and walked towards the temporary canteen on the city wall.

She did not look back.

Ling Feng watched their retreating figures without saying a word.

Qian Renxue stood beside him, also looking in their direction.

"What are you thinking?"

Ling Feng remained silent for a moment.

"Thinking of Zhu Zhuqing."

Qian Renxue looked at him.

"What about her?"

Ling Feng thought for a moment.

"She just killed someone."

Qian Renxue's brows twitched slightly.

"the first time?"

Ling Feng nodded.

"Ah."

Qian Renxue remained silent for a moment.

"Then she's better than you."

"When you killed someone for the first time, you vomited for three days."

Ling Feng looked at her.

"how do you know?"

Qian Renxue looked at him.

"I saw."

Ling Feng remained silent.

Chapter 277 Peace Negotiations

The morning light shone on them, casting long shadows.

Over the next few days, the restoration work in Sea Breeze City proceeded intensively.

The breach created by the soul-guided cannon shell was filled, the defensive runes were re-engraved, and the soul-guided cannon was recalibrated.

Craftsman Wu led his team of artisans day and night to dismantle the soul tools left behind on the Sun and Moon Continent and study the technology within them.

The captured soul tools were disassembled into parts and filled the craftsmen's workshops, with blueprints scattered all over the ground.

Sometimes, craftsman Wu would stay up all night, staring at those blueprints, his eyes bloodshot yet surprisingly bright.

"Holy Son".

The craftsman Wu approached Ling Feng, his voice hoarse yet brimming with barely suppressed excitement, "We've cracked the soul tool of the Sun Moon Continent!"

Ling Feng looked at him.

"explain."

Craftsman Wu took a deep breath.

"Their soul tools are not actually complicated in principle; it's just that their materials are better and their craftsmanship is more refined than ours."

If we can replicate the same quality materials and improve the manufacturing process, the power of our soul tools can be increased by at least 30%!

Ling Feng remained silent for a moment.

"how long it takes?"

Craftsman Wu thought for a moment.

"Six months."

"Give me six months, and I can double the power of the soul-guided cannons in Sea Breeze City."

Ling Feng nodded.

"it is good.

I'll give you six months.

Craftsman Wu clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Thank you, Holy Son!"

Six months is neither a long nor a short time.

The restoration work in Haifeng City is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the upgrade of the soul tools is also progressing steadily.

The fleet from the Sun and Moon Continent never appeared again; they seemed to have been frightened by that battle and retreated to their own sea areas.

But Ling Feng knew they wouldn't give up.

Although Xu Tianxing was seriously injured, the Sun Moon Continent still had Xu Shaoyang, the National Protector Mage, and an army of countless Soul Masters.

They were just waiting—waiting for Xu Tianxing to recover, waiting for the Martial Soul Empire to relax its guard, waiting for the next opportunity.

Ling Feng would stand on the city wall every day, looking at the sea in the distance.

He didn't know how much longer he would have to stand there, but he knew he would stand until the day of victory.

Everyone in Haifeng City was with him, everyone in the Martial Soul Empire was with him; he was not alone.

Qian Renxue would come from Wuhun City every day, sometimes bringing new intelligence, sometimes new supplies, and sometimes she would come without bringing anything, just standing beside Ling Feng and watching the sea with him.

Zhu Zhuqing trains every day, from dawn till dusk, rain or shine.

Her soul power increased rapidly, reaching levels 41, 42, and 43.

Her movements became faster and faster, her swordsmanship more and more fierce, and her eyes more and more determined.

She no longer wanted to be someone who could only hide in the background.

Jin Chen would patrol the sea every day, with the Trident of the Sea God in his hand, its golden blade gleaming in the sunlight.

Sometimes he would encounter reconnaissance ships from the Sun and Moon Continent on the sea. When those ships saw him, they would immediately turn around and run away.

Jin Chen didn't chase after them, but just watched them run away, grinning as the sea breeze blew on him and the waves crashed against him.

Ning Rongrong buffs everyone every day, increasing their health, defense, and attack.

She became increasingly skilled with the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, and was able to provide assistance to more than a dozen people at the same time.

She laughed and said that she would become the mobile fountain of Haifeng City from now on, adding water wherever she went.

Everyone laughed, and the laughter echoed across the city wall, carrying far and wide.

As the days went by, Sea Breeze City became more and more like a solid fortress.

The soldiers' confidence grew stronger, the power of the soul-guided cannons increased, and everyone's combat effectiveness steadily improved.

Everyone in the Martial Soul Empire is preparing for a war that may come at any time.

Ling Feng stood on the city wall, looking at the sea in the distance.

He knew that no matter when they came, he would stand here and block them.

Everyone in Sea Breeze City will stand here and block them.

Everyone from the Martial Soul Empire will stand here and block them.
