Douluo Continent: We agreed on a simulation, but they've come to life?

"Roar!!!"

With a series of roars, countless golden scales curled up and rolled down the hillside like tires, crushing countless trees along the way and sending debris flying everywhere.

The two girls in the control room trembled at the sight.

Even though the all-terrain self-propelled soul-guided turret was running as fast as it could, it was still being chased closely by several powerful Golden Scale Armorers with a cultivation level of about ten thousand years, and it could not shake them off no matter what.

"Ah...left, left side!!"

Keke suppressed her fear and cried out.

Lu Cheng remained calm and gently pulled the control lever to the right. With his abnormal mental manipulation, he narrowly avoided a huge, crimson-gold "tire" that suddenly appeared from the left.

Immediately afterwards, several more crimson-gold "tires" rolled down from the side, heading straight for Lu Cheng. In front of him, countless densely packed Golden Scale Armor Clan members appeared, poised to attack, their pupils all locked on the massive metal shell.

Lu Cheng frowned slightly, maneuvering the self-propelled soul tool to narrowly dodge attacks. However, under some encirclement, he had no choice but to withstand a certain amount of damage. With the collision, everyone in the cockpit trembled, which slightly reduced the speed of the huge self-propelled soul tool, but Lu Cheng still managed to escape by maneuvering strangely.

Although the self-propelled soul tool was hit and its glass was covered with spiderweb-like cracks, countless crimson-gold figures behind it were also getting further and further away.

"Is it over?" Keke breathed a sigh of relief, her face pale, before she shakily unbuckled her seatbelt and reached for the water bottle next to her.

Lu Cheng's pupils suddenly contracted, and he shouted, "Don't untie it!"

But it was obviously too late. Keke frantically gulped down water and tried to tie it back on, but it was too late.

The entire self-propelled soul tool suffered its heaviest impact ever—no, strictly speaking, it was a tearing apart. A nearly ten-meter-long crimson-gold scale suddenly leaped up from the ground in front of it, and even though Lu Cheng tried his best to change direction, he couldn't dodge it.

Coco was instantly thrown to the side and knocked unconscious.

Orange, pale-faced, watched helplessly as the terrifying, ferocious figure tore apart the hard self-propelled soul-guided detector with sharp claws as easily as cutting tofu.

"Boom!!!"

A loud roar followed.

The self-propelled soul-guided turret suddenly veered off course and rolled to the other side, emitting black smoke as its outer shell was torn apart, rendering the entire self-propelled soul-guided device instantly unusable.

Meanwhile, the ancient golden scale armor on the other side also broke several thick ancient trees, but protected by its tough golden scale armor, it only shook its dizzy head on the ground before getting up unharmed and slowly crawling towards the broken metal shell.

Clang!

With a thud of metal falling, a figure crawled out. Orange's fair face was now blackened by oil, and her fair arms were covered in bloodstains. Although she was not seriously injured, she looked desperate when she saw the big guy slowly crawling towards her from a distance.

it's over...

This is it.

This guy must be a soul beast with at least 60,000 years of history, the Golden Scale Armor King, and even a creature recorded in the Mingde Hall textbooks. Where could the three of them possibly run to?

"Ugh... What a hassle."

But just as the girl was in despair, a voice slowly rang out.

She looked up in surprise, only to feel the temperature around her slowly rising. Countless blazing flames lit up the dark night sky, as did her bright eyes. The figure held a delicate crimson bow, and a three-legged bird seemed to gradually materialize behind him.

This oppressive feeling originating from her martial spirit was something she had never experienced before.

What shocked them even more was...

That familiar figure, at this moment, unleashed a power that did not belong to the Soul Emperor. He stood there, like a god, forcefully beating the 60,000-year-old Golden Scale Armor King opposite him. The sheer number of his methods made her scalp tingle.

But soon, the girl's heart also turned cold.

She finally recognized who this mysterious senior brother was.

That three-legged monster bird, the extreme ice, and... blood-red eyes.

They all point to the same person.

That monster who, a little over a year ago, swept aside all the geniuses on the continent and suppressed an era, but in the end, had a falling out with Shrek Academy and relinquished the top spot on the continent to the Sun Moon Empire.

Lu Cheng.

Orange's throat bobbed, unsure whether to feel fortunate or unlucky.

With this monster around, she and Keke at least wouldn't die at the hands of the Golden-Scaled King, but it was also uncertain whether he would kill them to silence them.

Fine, I'll just play dead...

As the battle on one side gradually came to an end, Ju Zi watched as the monster crushed the 60,000-year-old soul beast, brutally beating it by the tail. Its ferocity made it impossible to tell who the real soul beast was.

Slowly close your eyes and force yourself to fall asleep as much as possible.

Lu Cheng remained calm, though a bloodstain appeared on his face—it was from the Golden Scale Armor King. He glanced at the creature beneath his feet, whose shell he had nearly shattered with his punches, and shook his head.

"Why did you have to provoke me..."

"This is my home."

King Jinlinjia said, on the verge of tears.

Chapter 183 Orange's "Pledge of Allegiance"

"If it's your house, then you can..."

Lu Cheng paused abruptly, recalling the markings on the map indicating their location. This place did indeed seem to be the territory of the Golden Scaled King. The entire land should be covered with their caves. This wasn't a migration... it was purely a case of being "invaded" by an enemy and driven away.

"pat~"

Lu Cheng remained standing on the nearly ten-meter-long, massive Golden Scaled King, whose belly was much softer than its metallic scales. His expression was calm: "What does this have to do with me?"

King of Golden Scales: "..."

"All I know is that you didn't intend to let me leave," Lu Cheng said calmly.

King Jinlinjia wanted to cry but had no tears.

Dude, weren't you just running away before? Go ahead and run, I promise I won't chase you anymore. It was really just a misunderstanding. Can't I just play dead?

Who would have thought they'd chased down a god of death? This human was incredibly strong, yet he pretended to be weak and helpless.

Do humans all like this?

"You go."

Lu Cheng pondered for a while, shook his head, jumped off the belly of the golden-scaled creature, and waved his hand.

It wasn't that he was kind-hearted; it was just that killing this guy wouldn't do him any good right now. A spirit ring with 60,000 years of cultivation was good, but it didn't match his martial soul. If any of his friends needed a spirit ring later, he could come here to get one.

"Boom~"

Before he could say anything, a roar came from behind him. He turned around in surprise and saw dust flying everywhere. Behind him, a series of mounds of earth rose up and spread rapidly into the distance.

They slipped away pretty quickly.

Lu Cheng gave a light snort, and his figure had already landed in front of Ju Zi.

He had protected the girl during the earlier collision; otherwise, she would probably have been in even worse shape than Keke. But now... the atmosphere was a little strange.

He could make sure that Meng Hongchen, with her love-struck mind, wouldn't betray him, but he couldn't guarantee that Ju Zi wouldn't betray him.

Although he ceded a championship to the Sun Moon Empire without any direct conflict, ultimately he was still in Mingdu, the Sun Moon Empire's stronghold. If the Sun Moon royal family truly knew his true identity, perhaps...

He looked down, his eyes indifferently surveying the "fainted" orange.

A flash of murderous intent crossed his mind.

But it was still suppressed.

"Stop pretending, I know you're awake."

Lu Cheng said calmly.

"I have a martial spirit that is eyes, and my spiritual perception is exceptionally sharp. Your breathing is disordered..."

There was another few seconds of silence.

Orange slowly opened her eyes, sat up, raised her arm with faint traces of blood, gathered her beautiful hair, patted the dirt off her hands, and stood up straight.

Even though she was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but tremble when she saw Lu Cheng at this moment.

That's Lu Cheng, after all.

Even though she hadn't participated in the previous competition, she had still watched the recording crystal. The victory of the Sun Moon Empire team had caused the entire academy to cheer, but everyone fell silent after the recording crystal was transmitted back. He had almost single-handedly swept through and crushed all the academy teams, and even the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Guidance Academy team, which was full of monsters at the time, was completely crushed by him.

The photo crystal was obtained by Keke, and after the girl saw it, she fell silent.

Adopting the perspective of the Sun Moon Empire, and seeing the figure surrounded by crimson flames, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression, she finally understood why the many returning disciples of the Sun Moon Empire's Royal Academy, despite winning the competition, did not show the expected joy on their faces, but rather a sense of bewilderment, as if the championship had fallen into their laps for no reason.

And indeed, that was the case. Who would have thought that Shrek Academy, the top academy that had swept all other teams, would surrender after defeating them...

This can no longer be described as genius; it's downright monstrous.

The fact that she just brutally beat that 60,000-year-old Golden Scaled King by the head further proves this point. Don't even think about running away; she simply can't outrun this guy, and don't even think about launching a sneak attack or counterattack...

Based on the combat power the opponent has shown so far, even a titled Douluo might not be able to do anything to them.

He is indeed the only one on the entire continent qualified to say something so outrageous and outrageous as "one of my martial souls is an eye".

"..."

Ju Zi was now filled with helplessness. She knew that Lu Cheng did not want to kill her, but he was forced to reveal his true form and most important trump card by a Golden Scale King, so he had no choice but to kill her.

Unless... he gives Lu Cheng a "pledge of allegiance" that can control him.

"To me, the Sun Moon Empire is merely a tool for revenge, not a country to which I am to serve. Whoever can help me avenge my parents' blood feud, I will serve them," Orange said calmly, her red lips slightly parted.

"So I want to live."

She gently removed her coat, which was stained with faint blood, wiped the dust off her face, and stared intently at Lu Cheng with her bright eyes: "To me, the former senior brother Cheng Lu is no different from the current Lu Cheng of the Body Sect. I can still be a blade for you to control the Sun Moon Empire."

They were alone in the wilderness.

Therefore, without the slightest hesitation, Ju Zi decisively removed her shoes and socks, standing naked before Lu Cheng. Her beautiful eyes showed no fear or hesitation, but rather a burning desire and hope: "I know your relationship with the Star Luo Empire is so-so, not to mention the White Tiger Duke. As long as you're willing to help me kill him, I'll be at your beck and call from now on. My body, everything I have, is yours..."

With Lu Cheng's terrifying talent, he could probably kill Duke White Tiger right now, and his so-called 100,000-strong army was nothing to Ju Zi.

The beautiful woman's soft, delicate body gradually pressed against him, stirring Lu Cheng's heartstrings.

"Xu Tianran trusts me a lot. As long as I don't slip up, I'll be the future Empress of the Sun Moon Empire... Empress, an empire's Empress in front of you, yet as docile and submissive as a kitten. Senior Brother, aren't you tempted?"

"call……"

Lu Cheng glanced at the beauty; Ju Zi was smiling happily, and it didn't seem like she was faking it, but rather genuinely...

Damn, this woman is definitely a bit crazy.
