Douluo: Evolution from the Human-Faced Demon Spider

Chapter 174 The Destruction of Star Luo
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please wake up! Something terrible has happened!"

At daybreak, the Emperor of the Xing Luo Empire, who was still sleeping on his bed, was awakened.

His hair was disheveled, and he looked very tired. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked a little angry. He glared at the old slave who woke him up and said, "What's the matter? You're making a fuss."

Because he was worried about the soul beasts on both sides, he did not sleep all night last night. He closed his eyes only near dawn, but was immediately woken up by this old slave.

"This, this, this..." The old slave was already nervous and he stammered for a long time without being able to speak after being glared at by him.

After a while, the old servant finally caught his breath. "Soul, the soul beast has broken in. Your Majesty, please follow me and run."

"What?" Upon hearing this, the emperor jumped off the bed and put his big hands on the old slave's shoulders. "What did you say? The soul beast came in?"

"Weren't they nearly 200 miles away from the Imperial City last night? Where are the soldiers guarding the Imperial City? What were they doing?"

According to previous calculations, these soul beasts would take at least two days to reach the imperial city, but now they have arrived much earlier.

"They are all dead. The soul beasts are heading towards the imperial city." The old slave trembled as he conveyed the current situation. "The Second Prince Dai Mubai and his fiancée Zhu Zhuqing are leading people outside the imperial palace to resist the soul beasts, but I don't think they can hold out for long. Your Majesty, get ready to run."

Emperor Xingluo wiped his forehead with his hand and forced himself to calm down, "Where's the boss?"

He was naturally referring to the eldest prince Davis.

The old slave seemed even more panicked now. "Last night, the eldest prince saw that you had fallen asleep and told us not to disturb you. He led a guard out of the city to fight the soul beast. I'm afraid it's already..."

"Bastard!" Emperor Xingluo slammed his fist on the edge of the bed, causing the large sandalwood bed to collapse.

He was angry that his most beloved eldest son's life or death was in danger, and he was even more angry that someone had only reported this to him now.

What made him most angry was that he had always claimed to be a wise ruler, and it was not until now that he realized how incompetent he was.

At this moment, at the north gate of the imperial city, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were leading a guard of about 500 people to fight against soul beasts.

Although this team is not large in number, it is composed of soul masters. The weakest among them is at the Soul Master level. They are presumably the elite among the elite of the Xing Luo Empire.

But even so, they were still vulnerable to the soul beasts on the opposite side, and more than half of them were lost in less than ten minutes.

"Zhuqing, you go first." Dai Mubai took the attack of a soul beast while pushing Zhu Zhuqing away.

Zhu Zhuqing just glanced at him, then rushed forward again and stabbed the poisoned dagger in her hand into the belly of the soul beast. Although she did not say anything, her meaning was very clear.

Dai Mubai flashed past her and stood close to her, back to back. "Now is not the time to be willful. If we don't leave now, none of us can leave."

"I'm not leaving." Zhu Zhuqing's voice was crisp and clear, leaving no room for rebuttal. "If we want to leave, we leave together. If we want to die, we die together."

"I can't leave. My father is still in there. It's different for you. Hurry up and leave." Dai Mubai was so anxious that he almost cursed.

Zhu Zhuqing was not frightened by him. She still maintained her fighting posture and faced another soul beast that rushed towards her. "Then we will die here together."

Even as the two were talking, more than half of the guards were killed by soul beasts. Some soul beasts had already broken through their defenses and rushed into the palace.

Dai Mubai looked at the imperial city that could no longer be defended, and then at Zhu Zhuqing who was already suffering from many injuries. He made up his mind, pulled her over, and ran south with her.

The city gates were lost, and more and more soul beasts seemed to pour into the imperial city from all directions. Everyone in the palace fled in the same direction.

These soul beasts attacked from the northwest, and there were sea soul beasts that were temporarily blocked in the east. Only the south was relatively safe.

At this time, Dai Mubai's soul power has reached level 60, but he has not yet obtained the sixth soul ring. Zhu Zhuqing is also over level 50.

The two were among the stronger ones among the fleeing people. Although they chose to escape late, they quickly caught up with the vanguard.

"Second Prince, you?" Someone in the palace changed his expression instantly when he saw Dai Mubai.

They all knew that Dai Mubai had been guarding the North Gate before, and his appearance here now meant that the North Gate had been lost.

Dai Mubai nodded, his eyes filled with self-blame and bitterness, "We lost."

Just as they thought, soon hundreds of soul beasts chased Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing into the crowd.

Watching these soul beasts killing indiscriminately and wantonly slaughtering the maids and old slaves in the palace, Dai Mubai didn't dare to look back, but just grabbed Zhu Zhuqing and continued to run south.

At the moment, they are completely unable to change anything with their strength. All he can do is try his best to save himself and his loved ones.

The further south you go, the fewer people fleeing.

The soul beast came too suddenly, and it was night time. The people in the palace were used to being delicate on weekdays, and at this time they always wanted to bring more things, so most of them were left behind.

The two of them quickly reached the south gate of the imperial city, but Dai Mubai pulled Zhu Zhuqing, causing her to stop in vain.

Then he looked towards the south gate with a look of despair, and his hand holding Zhu Zhuqing had loosened. Noticing his abnormality, Zhu Zhuqing also looked in that direction.

The guards who were supposed to be guarding the south gate were now empty, and the place looked clean and simple. However, the small pieces of blood on the ground showed that there had been a tragedy here before.

Looking upwards along the bloodstains, in the sky above the South Gate, pairs of moon-red wings appeared particularly dazzling under the light of the rising sun.

At this moment, two huge figures squeezed in from outside the south gate, one was a pitch-black tiger and the other was a snow-white spider.

The last exit of the imperial city is also blocked, or it can be said that this is probably the most dangerous place in the imperial city now.

Not long after, not far behind Dai Mubai, Emperor Xingluo also rushed to the South Gate with a large number of people. When he saw Xiaobai and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger guarding here, he also sighed and gave up all resistance.

That night, the Xingluo Empire, once one of the two major empires on the Douluo Continent, was flooded with blood, and the royal Dai family was almost wiped out by soul beasts. The murderers were actually a group of spider soul beasts.

It has come to this point that humans have basically lost the ability to resist, so Fang Chang no longer needs to hide deliberately.

Even though people might think this was related to the Spider Cult, he didn't care and directly exposed the true identity of the spider army.

At this point, apart from the Spirit Hall which did not participate in the crusade against soul beasts and the Tiandou Empire which had long since become a puppet of the Spider God Cult, there was no other force on the continent capable of resisting the Spider Clan.

In just a few years, the mainland's landscape has undergone tremendous changes.

Not long after this, a young man in ragged clothes finally staggered out from the City of Slaughter.

He was naturally Tang San. After four and a half years, he finally fought his way out of the City of Slaughter!
Since he no longer had the Eight Spider Lance and the Magic Grass, his life in the City of Slaughter over the past four and a half years had not been easy, and he had narrowly escaped death several times.

But when he returned to the outside world, he found that this world seemed to be... a little different? Did he travel through time again?
