Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, Allows Me to Defy Fate

"The teachers and students of Blue Tyrant Academy, who were ordered to retreat to their sect, along with the clansmen stationed along the way, were passing through the outer edge of Sunset Forest when..."

The deacon choked up, his body trembling violently.

"They were ambushed and killed by multiple unidentified forces."

"The two elders who accompanied him were killed in battle."

"More than a hundred Blue Lightning Clan members..."

The deacon cried out in despair.

"Not a single one survived!"

boom!

The blue bricks beneath Yu Yuanzhen's feet shattered instantly, and violent blue lightning erupted uncontrollably from his body, blasting the table into dust.

None survived.

More than a hundred lives lost. This is like tearing flesh from the Blue Lightning Sect alive.

Yu Xiaogang stood aside, watching his furious father.

His withered face was expressionless; he simply turned his head slowly to look at the even more gloomy sky outside the hall.

Outside Tiandou City, in the Tiandou Empire.

Dark clouds loomed overhead, and torrential rain poured down.

A fierce wind, carrying large raindrops, pounded on a secluded clearing in the military camp. The muddy ground was already stained dark red, with blood mingling with the rainwater, forming small puddles in the potholes.

More than a hundred teachers and students from Blue Tyrant Academy and members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were surrounded by thousands of elite soldiers from the Heavenly Dou Empire.

They were all wearing heavy, soul-sealing shackles, and most of them were covered in wounds. Some were missing arms, some had caved-in chests, and they were only holding on by sheer willpower.

These were all people of the Blue Lightning bloodline. As for the other commoner and noble soul masters who enrolled, they had naturally scattered like birds and beasts long ago.

At the very front of the open space, Gao Tai, a level 76 Soul Saint and commander of the Heaven Dou Empire's direct imperial guard, was standing under a makeshift rain shelter.

Gao Tai tossed a palm-sized, silver, rhomboid metal block in his hand.

This thing is called the Image Recording Cube. It is an expensive soul tool that can perfectly record and project images and sounds over a wide area.

Gao Tai glanced at the prisoners who were being held down in the mud, and a cold smile crept across his face.

"His Highness Prince Xuexing has given an order." Gao Tai's voice pierced through the rain and reached everyone's ears, "Lanba Academy has been harboring traitors for a long time, intending to overthrow the rule of the Tiandou Empire. It is hereby shut down and investigated."

“All of you were supposed to die anyway.”

Gao Tai stopped and held the photo cube to his chest.

"But His Highness the Prince is merciful and has shown you a way out. All you have to do is loudly proclaim to this thing that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is finished, admit that Yu Yuanzhen is a coward, and call on the remaining Blue Lightning forces still resisting outside to surrender immediately..."

"I can decide to spare your lives."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud spitting sound came from the crowd.

A white-haired outer sect steward of the Blue Lightning Sect suddenly raised his head. Although his legs had been broken, his eyes were as fierce as a wolf's.

"What is the Heavenly Dou Royal Family! They dare to ask us to surrender?" the old deacon cursed. "I've been eating at the Blue Lightning Sect for decades, and I'm tough as nails! If you want to kill, then kill! Why all this nonsense!"

Gao Tai's face darkened.

He drew his three-foot-long sword from his waist, strode up to the old deacon, and without any further movement, brought the sword down.

The old deacon's head rolled into the muddy water instantly, spraying blood all over several students nearby.

"You don't know what's good for you." Gao Tai snorted coldly, wiping the bloody blade on the old deacon's clothes.

He turned to look at a young female student being held down by two soldiers.

The girl was wearing the uniform of Blue Tyrant Academy, her face covered in mud and tears, and her body was trembling violently from the cold and fear.

Gao Tai grabbed her hair, lifted her up, and held the photo cube in front of her.

“Little girl, you speak. As long as you read what I just said once, you can go home alive to find your parents.”

The female student looked at the soul tool that was flashing silver light in front of her, and then glanced at the headless corpse of the old deacon on the ground.

She suddenly stopped trembling.

She opened her mouth and bit down hard on Gao Tai's wrist!

Gao Tai, in pain, suddenly threw her to the ground.

The female student spat out bloody saliva and screamed, "You're dreaming! I was born a member of Blue Lightning, and I'll die a Blue Lightning ghost! You lackeys will all suffer a terrible death!"

Gao Tai was furious.

He raised his foot, clad in an iron-toed military boot, and stomped heavily on the female student's chest. With a cracking sound of bones breaking, the student died instantly.

A deafening roar erupted from the crowd.

"brute!"

"Let's fight them!"

Dozens of Blue Lightning Clan members, disregarding the Soul-Sealing Shackles binding them, charged at the surrounding soldiers like madmen. Some bit at the soldiers' throats, while others rammed their heads against the soldiers' armor.

However, without the support of soul power, such resistance is completely futile.

Long spears were thrust out in unison.

More than a dozen people were stabbed through on the spot, nailed to the ground, and blood flowed like a river.

Gao Tai retreated to the awning, looking at the prisoners who had been subdued again, a strong sense of irritation flashing in his eyes.

These Blue Lightning Sect members are incredibly stubborn and foul-mouthed. Even after killing over a dozen of them, not one of them was willing to back down.

The task assigned to him was to obtain this surrender footage to break down the psychological defenses of the remaining Blue Lightning troops. If he failed to obtain it, he would have a difficult time explaining himself when he returned.

Chapter 515 Slaughter City, Hundred Victories!

"I refuse to believe that all of these hundred-plus men are fearless cowards!" Gao Tai shouted. "I'll give you ten more breaths! Anyone willing to record this, step forward now! Otherwise, I'll kill them all tonight and hang their heads on the gates of Tiandou City!"

The rain is getting heavier.

All the Blue Lightning Clan members stared at Gao Tai, their eyes filled with hatred, and not one of them moved.

Time passes little by little.

Just as Gao Tai was about to order the massacre, a trembling voice suddenly came from behind the crowd.

"Wait...wait a minute."

Three middle-aged men dressed in the uniforms of senior instructors from Blue Tyrant Academy squeezed out from the crowd.

The leader was Zhao Ming, a highly experienced theoretical instructor at Blue Tyrant Academy.

His face was deathly pale, and his legs were shaking like a leaf as he tumbled and crawled into the muddy water.

"Commander Gao, don't kill us! We're willing to record this; we'll say whatever you tell us to say!"

The two teachers behind Zhao Ming also kowtowed and begged for mercy.

The Blue Lightning Clan members and students around them were stunned at first, then burst into curses ten times more intense than before.

"Zhao Ming! You spineless coward!"

"The sect leader allocated so many resources for your cultivation, and you actually went to be a dog of the Heavenly Fighting Sect!"

"You're all talk about morality and righteousness in the academy all the time, but when it really comes down to it, you're not even as good as a dog!"

"Our Blue Lightning Sect has no trash like you! Traitors! You deserve to die a horrible death!"

The angry shouts almost drowned out the thunder.

The students' eyes were bloodshot; if the soldiers hadn't been holding them back, they would have rushed up and torn the three teachers apart alive.

Gao Tai watched this scene and burst into laughter.

"good very good!"

That's exactly the effect he wanted.

The fact that a senior instructor from Blue Tyrant Academy led the betrayal, and the harsher the curses from below, the more it reveals the internal collapse of the Blue Lightning Sect. Once this footage is released, the Blue Lightning Sect's prestige will be completely destroyed.

Gao Tai personally went over, helped Zhao Ming up, and even patted the mud off his clothes.

"Those who understand the times are wise, Teacher Zhao. The three of you have made the most correct choice."

Gao Tai held the image-capturing Rubik's Cube in front of Zhao Ming and the other two, and infused it with his soul power.

The rhombus-shaped metal block instantly emitted a soft white light, and the light screen completely enveloped the faces of Zhao Ming and the other two.

“Alright, now, face the light.” Gao Tai took a step back, staring at them with a mocking look in his eyes. “Say out loud that you are willing to submit to Tian Dou and that you will identify Yu Yuanzhen as a coward.”

The Blue Lightning Clan members around them closed their eyes in despair.

They were not afraid of death, but they were afraid that the sect's reputation would be ruined by these few cowardly cowards.

however.

At the very instant the white light appeared.

All the fear and trembling on Zhao Ming's face vanished in an instant.

His previously hunched back suddenly straightened.

That face, contorted with fear, was now covered in bloodshot veins, and its eyes were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.

The two teachers beside him also stood up straight, their eyes flashing with an unprecedented ferocity.

Gao Tai sensed something was wrong, his expression changed drastically, and he reached out to grab the memory cube.

But it was too late!

Zhao Ming took a deep breath, forcing the last bit of soul power in his body into his throat, and let out a frantic roar that tore his vocal cords apart as he faced the image-recording cube:

"You lackeys of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family! Prick up your dog ears and listen carefully!"

"The backbone of the Blue Lightning Sect will never be bent!"

"You killed a hundred of us today, but you will have to pay with ten thousand lives in the future!"

"Young Master Xiao Heng will definitely kill you all! He will burn your palace to ashes! He will trample the bones of you beasts into mud!"
