Douluo Continent: Starting with Ten Kings of Hell, Shocking Qian Renxue

Chapter 79 The human heart is the most easily manipulated thing. I am very satisfied with you! [Please continue reading]

puff-

Xue Ke and Xue Xing were thrown in front of Qin Zheng's dragon throne.

Xueke immediately took a deep breath of fresh air and tried to stand up.

But the four judges of the underworld simultaneously unleashed their power, stunning her and rendering her unable to move!

As before, they could only remain in a kneeling position.

"Your Majesty, we have fortunately fulfilled our mission."

"Capture both surviving members of the Heavenly Dou royal family!"

The four judges bowed to Qin Zheng in unison, their expressions calm, as if this matter was easy and pleasant for them.

They simply couldn't feel any pride in this matter.

"You have done a good job in capturing them, and I have already recorded it." Qin Zheng smiled faintly, told them to step back, and gestured for them to let Xue Xing and Xue Ke speak.

"Tyrant! Tyrant!!"

"You deserve a terrible death for your killing spree!!"

Once they could speak, Xue Xing and Xue Ke simultaneously launched into a tirade of curses. It was hard to imagine that such noble people would utter such venomous insults.

However, Qin Zheng ignored him and smiled calmly.

"It seems these people don't know what it means to be pragmatic."

"The four judges, teach them how to do things."

Swah——

As soon as they finished speaking, the two judges moved at the same time, their eyes coldly fixed on Xue Xing and Xue Ke beneath them.

"Disrespecting His Majesty, you all deserve to die!"

They acted simultaneously, grabbing Xue Xing and Xue Ke's arms and then jerking them violently.

puff-

Bright red blood spurted everywhere, carrying two pale arms with it.

At this moment, even though Xue Xing's limbs were broken, she still felt the terrifying pain and screamed in agony!

As for Xue Ke, she was just an ignorant girl who wasn't even eighteen years old yet, and she was wailing in pain!

The snowy night, already filled with utter despair, was further aggravated by this scene, and the turbid eyes flowed with bloody tears.

He had died in an avalanche before, but because he didn't witness it, he wasn't as grief-stricken.

But at this moment, Xue Ke and Xue Xing were being tortured in his eyes!

His heart was breaking!

He tried to speak, but couldn't, and moved his body further!

The emperor, who ruled over an entire country, could only helplessly watch as his loved ones were tortured and slaughtered!

This is absolutely unacceptable to him!!

Seeing this, Tang Yuehua's initial dissatisfaction vanished, and she couldn't bear to look away.

She had no choice.

They can't even protect themselves!

【…】

"Now, you two should understand."

"Whose opinion should we listen to here?"

Qin Zheng's lips curled into a cruel smile.

Xueke and the other girl suddenly looked at him, their eyes no longer filled with resentment, but with despair.

"What are you going to do?" Xue Xing's voice was dry. He knew that Qin Zheng would not let them go, otherwise he would not have searched for them so openly in the city. But he was puzzled by what the other party was doing.

"Have you calmed down?" Qin Zheng said slowly, each word clear. "It's very simple. I was very curious about how you escaped, so I chatted with this Tang Yuehua just now."

"If she let you go, she dies."

"You can live."

Upon hearing this, Xue Xing and Xue Ke opened their mouths at the same time, clearly about to answer.

But the words they were about to say stopped abruptly.

Because Qin Zheng spoke up again!

"If you escaped on your own."

"Then, you must die."

"She will die anyway!"

Just two sentences were enough to create a deathly silence!

Xue Ke and Xue Xing, and even Tang Yuehua, all turned their gazes toward Qin Zheng, filled with astonishment and shock.

But the next moment, it all turned into horror!

【…】

"A demon, a complete and utter demon!!"

Tang Yuehua's chest heaved as she stared intently at Qin Zheng, a chill running down her spine. Her expression was trembling, and she had lost all the composure she had previously displayed as a noble lady.

Because she had just spoken with Qin Zheng, she knew exactly what he was saying.

That's not true at all!

Letting Xue Xing and Xue Ke go is even more of a joke.

He even wished that everyone in the Heavenly Dou Empire with the surname Xue would be beheaded.

How could they possibly let go of Xue Xing and Xue Ke, who were closest to Xue Ye?

【…】

But Qin Zheng ignored him.

His eyes, as clear and deep as an autumn pool, gazed at Xue Xing and Xue Ke, his gaze slightly curved upwards.

"So, tell me."

"You ran away on your own."

"Or," Qin Zheng pointed at Tang Yuehua, "did she let you go?"

Swah——

Xue Xing and Xue Ke exchanged a glance, then looked at Tang Yuehua with complex emotions in their eyes.

They said that those who were released by Tang Yuehua could live, but Tang Yuehua had to die.

But if they say they ran away, then not only will Tang Yuehua die, but they will also die!

The choice is already quite clear.

However, moral issues have prevented them from making a choice...

scene.

Silence, and more silence!

Qin Zheng watched all this with a smile on his face, not in a hurry at all.

After a long while, Xue Xing finally broke the deadlock, looking at Qin Zheng with pleading eyes.

"The Emperor of Qin".

"If I choose the former, are you really willing to let us go?"

Swah——

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to him. Xue Ke's heart skipped a beat, and she said to Xue Xing with a sob in her voice, "Uncle Xue Xing! That's Aunt Yuehua..."

"Shut up!" Xue Xing said through gritted teeth, not daring to look at Tang Yuehua and Xue Ke. "Xue Ke, you're too young! Even Tang Yuehua is in dire straits now, so what difference does it make if we don't say anything? She's still going to die!"

"Besides, didn't she take good care of you? What if it's her life that's being traded for ours?"

"She'll probably be very happy!"

As he spoke, he seemed to have convinced himself, looked at Qin Zheng, and gave a smile that was more like a grimace.

"Your Majesty, are you right?"

At this moment, both Xue Ke and Tang Yuehua fell silent.

It's not because they can't say anything to refute Xuexing.

But now Xuexing is so obedient, just like a lowly dog!

These were the days when Qin Zheng's monstrous slaughter terrified...dogs.

What good is it if people like that say a lot?

It can't be changed!

【…】

"Hahaha!" Qin Zheng laughed, looking at Xue Xing with a satisfied expression. "Xue Xing, you really are smart!"

"Remember this: my word is as good as gold!"

"You said it, so of course I'll let you live!"

He paused, then pointed at Xue Ye, his voice like a demon's, carrying a strong seductive tone, "After all, you are only related to that old dog Xue Ye by blood, and have no direct connection with me."

"Isn't that right?"

After receiving the reply, Xuexing thought about it carefully before speaking up.

"Fine! I admit it, Tang Yuehua deliberately let us escape!"

"We've been living in her palace all these years!"

"Your Majesty, this man is by no means a good person in the eyes of the Great Qin."

"Your Majesty, I humbly request that you execute him as a warning to others!"

He decisively betrayed Tang Yuehua, and even assumed the identity of Qin Chen early on.

Moreover, there was absolutely no remorse or discomfort on his face!

Seeing this scene, Tang Yuehua's face turned extremely ugly, and her heart turned cold!

How could this not chill her heart?

She risked her life to take care of Xue Ke and Xue Xing, only to have them betray her in the end!

Just that one sentence made everything she had done for him recently seem like that of a lowly dog!

How ridiculous!!

As for Xueye, she was completely desperate, no longer making any whimpering sounds, lying helplessly on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

At that moment, he finally realized that this young boy was nothing short of a demon.

He shouldn't have made an enemy of the other party at all.

It was even more wrong of them to order the execution of the entire Qin family.

He was filled with remorse!

【…】

"Excellent! Excellent!" Qin Zheng took in the expressions of everyone present, his smile widening. "Prince Xuexing truly lives up to his name; you are indeed intelligent. I admire you greatly!"

"Someone, help him up."

Zhong Kui stepped forward first and helped Xue Xing up. The difference in their appearances filled him with delight: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!!"

But Qin Zheng ignored him and instead focused his gaze on Xue Ke, speaking gently.

Princess Xueke.

"And what was your answer this time?"

Nearly 10,000 words have all been posted!!!

However, I thought about this chapter for a very long time before publishing it.

I revised it twice; one time it was no longer torturous, and the other time it was torturous.

I thought for a long time about whether or not to torture Xue Ke. Torturing her would require writing at least four thousand words, while not torturing her would allow me to skip directly to the Soul Master Competition.

In the end, however, I still chose to torture and kill them.

Because I feel that if the protagonist, who possesses the strongest power in the world, doesn't torment Xue Ke and Xue Xing, then all of the protagonist's loved ones died in vain.

Furthermore, it doesn't match the protagonist's character. When dealing with enemies, he should truly act like a tyrant, killing ruthlessly and instilling fear in the world!

The wrath of an emperor is not just about rivers of blood; it is also about instilling fear in people!

Therefore, I choose to torture them severely!

This can also be seen as a prelude to the later torment of Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.

After the torture was over, all matters concerning the Heavenly Dou Empire were taken offline!
