Chapter 144: Showing Strength, Instantly Killing Two Hunshiliujiji Title Douluos

The Star Empire is Lingxu's best choice; after all, for him to seek out the other two great empires would be nothing more than adding flowers to a brocade, whereas for this Star Empire, it is like providing charcoal in snowy weather.

Lingxu did not ask for too many resources—fifty percent. Although the Star Empire is rich in resources, if he asked for too much, it would be difficult for them to bear.

Long-term cooperation; Lingxu understands this principle as well.

Even if he leaves the Douluo Continent in the future, under his own arrangements, the Lingxue Sacred Land will be able to operate for a long time. One hundred years is too short; Lingxu wants to maintain it permanently.

"Maintain it permanently?" Xingxin knew that reducing the resources to fifty percent would certainly come at a corresponding price.

After asking this question, Xingxin did not dare to linger too long; after all, no matter how much is given or how long the time is, that is a matter for the future. The current important task is to let the Star Empire survive.

Lingxu only waited for the time it takes to burn two sticks of incense before Xingxin brought a middle-aged man with half-white hair to the courtyard.

Although the middle-aged man looked very exhausted, the aura of a superior on his body was definitely extraordinary.

When he saw that Lingxu looked to be only about twenty years old, Xingyi had some doubts in his heart, until his trusted subordinate, Shadow, transmitted his voice to him saying that the man before him was unfathomable, only then did he believe what Xingxin had said. Perhaps this person before him really is the one who can save the Star Empire.

"Xingyi pays respects to the senior!" Xingyi came before Lingxu and bowed to offer a salute.

In normal times, even when facing a Level 97 Title Douluo expert, he would not offer such a salute, but at the moment of national subjugation, some etiquette really does not count for much.

However, at this moment, Lingxu suddenly stood up.

"You all step back, someone is coming."

Just as Lingxu's voice fell, an old man and a middle-aged man actually appeared in the courtyard.

One had a Sun embroidered on his body and was dressed in crimson gold, while the other had a Moon embroidered on his and was dressed in light blue clothes.

"This is?" Xingyi looked at the two, naturally knowing the other party's identities.

The old man is a Level 96 Title Douluo from the Sunset Empire, and the other is a Level 96 Title Douluo from the Mingyue Empire.

"Father Emperor, who are they?" Xingxin and Chen Luoyun both became nervous.

Xingyi said: "Two Hunshiliujiji Title Douluos; you really think highly of me."

Not to mention Hunshiliujiji, if a Title Douluo below Hunshiliujiji came to assassinate him, Xingyi would not be able to dodge it either.

"Xingyi, give up the resistance. You have gathered hundreds of thousands of people in Star Capital City, whether they are Spirit Masters or the young and strong; is this worth it? Letting them die for your Star Empire?"

"We will give you one chance: surrender, give up the resistance, and hand over all the Soul Guidance Device technology of the Star Empire. If you do so, we promise you that we will not cause any destruction upon entering Star Capital City, and we will not kill you, including your Second Prince and Sixth Prince. Furthermore, we will give you a decent fief, enough for you all to live."

If it were an ordinary emperor, if such conditions could really come true, by sleeping on brushwood and tasting gall, there might be a chance to restore the country in the future.

But once you hand everything over, can it really be as the other party says?

If it were Xingyi himself, he would also exterminate everyone at a time like this, leaving no future trouble.

Xingyi said: "You don't need to tell me these things; if you want to fight, then let's fight."

Xingyi's martial soul is also the unique martial soul of the Star Empire's royal family, the Star, while the martial souls of the two opposing empires are the Sun and the Moon.

The Star shone, and Shadow, who was in the dark, suddenly attacked, striking at the old Title Douluo, who was also the old man from the Sunset Empire.

Seeing this, he waved one hand, and a soul power as scorching as the Sun was unleashed, striking Shadow directly.

With a bang, he landed in front of Xingyi.

The old man said: "Is this your final strength? It is merely a Spirit Douluo after all."

Shadow has the ability to resist an ordinary Title Douluo, but facing the old man with the Sun martial soul, this was clearly not enough.

A single ordinary strike was enough to defeat Shadow, who was using a soul skill.

"Xingyi, are you not going to make a move yet?" The old man looked at Xingyi and teased.

After all, Xingyi had already released his martial soul, and there was some trembling on his body.

In fact, he was thinking, "Xu Wuyang, don't think that you have already won."

After finishing his words, Xingyi withdrew his martial soul.

A trace of disdain appeared on the face of this old man, who was also called Xu Wuyang.

"Just this? How will you win!"

However, Xingyi ignored him, instead turning to look at Lingxu, then knelt on one knee and said: "Senior, please save my Star Empire. I agree to all your conditions. If there are other requirements, as long as my Star Empire can do it, my Star Empire will use the strength of the entire nation to do it for you."

The Star Empire has a history of five thousand years; it must absolutely not be lost in his hands.

This moment made Xu Wuyang, not far away, laugh, and the middle-aged man beside him did the same.

In fact, before coming, Xingyi had already thought it over. If the conditions were truly as Lingxu proposed—a permanent supply of fifty percent of the resources produced by the empire—then this would definitely be of immense benefit to the Star Empire.

How should one put it?

In this way, it is equivalent to binding the Star Empire to this powerful force called the Lingxue Sacred Land. If they always need resources, then the Star Empire has a reason to exist forever.

And from the fact that the other party wants a permanent supply, the other party definitely needs it.

Fifty percent of resources and Soul Guidance technology is not much.

Lingxu smiled and said: "Good, since that is the case, leave the rest to me. Then let's start by eating these two appetizers."

Looking at the two people standing on the roof not far away, Lingxu revealed an innocent expression.

However, these two looked at Lingxu as if they were watching a joke. Two Hunshiliujiji Title Douluos joining forces—even the current number one in the continent, the peak Level 97 Title Douluo Xu Tianyang, would be unable to do that.

But the next moment, Lingxu disappeared from where he stood.

With a scream, Lingxu was already beside the middle-aged man, and with just one punch, the fist landed on his flesh.

As big as Lingxu's fist was, that was how big the hole in the other party's body was.

Powerful strength combined with peerless soul power allowed Lingxu to kill a Hunshiliujiji Title Douluo instantly with one strike; of course, this was under the condition that the other party underestimated the enemy and was completely unprepared.

After all, they were still Hunshiliujiji, so they did have some strength.

However, the shocking effect this caused was unparalleled; everyone revealed an expression of terror.

As for the Hunshiliujiji Xu Wuyang, he was so scared that he retreated in a hurry.

"This... how... is this possible? Just one move and!" Xu Wuyang was extremely terrified in his heart, watching this innocent-looking young man put away his companion's Soul Guidance Device and even take out four soul bones from the corpse.

"The harvest is not bad," Lingxu said indifferently.

After speaking, Lingxu looked at Xu Wuyang again and said: "Next, it is your turn!"

"You... what did the Star Empire give you?" Xu Wuyang was terrified in his heart; he had already lost his will to fight before the battle had even begun.

"I... whatever they gave you, I, the Sunset Empire and the Moon Underworld Empire, will give you double," Xu Wuyang said.

Lingxu smiled slightly and said, "Is what you say true?"

Having said this, it gave Xingyi and the others quite a fright.

It had been too shocking just now; instantly killing a long-renowned Hunshiliujiji Title Douluo was not something an ordinary Level 97 or 98 Spirit Master could do.

It was very likely that this Lingxu before them had already reached the limit of a Spirit Master: Jiushijiji.

"True, of course it's true. Senior, we had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai just now. However, Senior, you are cooperating with people whose nation is about to perish; it would be better to join us. Senior, what do you think?" Xu Wuyang looked at Lingxu.

But Lingxu revealed an impatient look and said, "Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

"No, I wouldn't dare!"

"I, Lingxu, since I have already promised, I will certainly see it through. I am a person who keeps his word, and I hate those who do not keep their promises even more."

Lingxu released a Golden Sword in his hand, and Xu Wuyang seemed to know that a battle was unavoidable.

But he himself had no heart to fight at this moment; the main reason was that the scene just now had been truly too shocking—a Hunshiliujiji Title Douluo, actually killed with a single punch.

Escape—this was his first thought.

He activated his martial soul, his body engulfed in flames, and he fled at the fastest possible speed.

At this moment, Lingxu waved one hand, and a Golden Slash was unleashed.

Xu Wuyang still wanted to resist; his soul power flickered, and he activated his soul bone skill.

A Flame Shield formed in front of him; this soul bone skill seemed quite decent, and its age was not low, at least over eighty thousand years.

But even so, the Golden Sword now had an age of over five hundred thousand years, far more powerful than a hundred-thousand-year soul skill.

Swish...

The shield condensed from flames was instantly split into two halves, and the light of the Golden Sword did not stop, flying directly through Xu Wuyang's body and into the sky.

Then, Xu Wuyang's body fell from the sky, split into two.

That scene was truly somewhat miserable.

Lingxu said, "Little Xingxin, go and retrieve his soul bones and Soul Guidance Device for me."

Xingxin was stunned for a moment, only reacting after Chen Luoyun reminded her.

"Senior, I'll go right away."

"Let's go together." Chen Luoyun also took the initiative to follow.

What kind of realm is this? Two Hunshiliujiji Title Douluo, killed as soon as he said he would, both killed in one move.

"Senior, are, are you a god?" Xingyi asked, bowing.

Lingxu landed, responding indifferently: "A god? I am still some distance away from being a god."

"Senior's strength is already comparable to a god," Xingyi said.

He had always been used to hearing others' flattery, but when it came time for him to flatter someone, he didn't know what to say.

But he knew one thing: saying nice things would surely be pleasant to hear.

Lingxu said, "You go back and prepare well now; next, I will go to save your two princes. By the way, provide me with their portraits and appearance."

"Senior, I will prepare it immediately," Xingyi said.

At this time, Shadow also played a role. Xingyi only took a look, and Shadow disappeared. Although Shadow had taken a hit just now, it was actually not particularly serious; after all, he still had some strength and didn't look that fragile.

Before long, Chen Luoyun and Xingxin returned.

Xingxin's face was somewhat pale; perhaps she was unaccustomed to seeing such a tragic scene for the first time.

"Senior, we found five soul bones and two Space Soul Guidance Devices." Xingyi handed the soul bones and Space Soul Guidance Devices over directly.

Lingxu naturally accepted them all; they dared not have any objections to this, even though one of the Soul Guidance Devices had belonged to one of their empire's Title Douluo.

After putting them away, Shadow also arrived, bringing the portraits of the Second Prince and the Sixth Prince.

After Lingxu took a look, he said, "Alright, I know!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lingxu rose directly into the air and flew toward the outside of the city.

Not long after Lingxu left, Xingyi finally let out a sigh of relief. If Lingxu hadn't dealt with those two Hunshiliujiji Title Douluo just now, he would already be a corpse by now.

Xingxin said, "Father, this is great, our Star Empire is saved."

Xingyi nodded and said, "It should be. This Senior Ling should be a Jiushijiji Title Douluo. Remember, we must not be negligent. I will go to the front lines to command the battle immediately; Xingxin, you and Luoyun stay here and wait for Senior Ling."

"Alright, Father, go and handle it; I will stay here to serve Senior Ling."

When she mentioned serving, Xingxin's pretty face flushed red.

If someone could save the Star Empire, she would do anything, even if it meant death, she would not hesitate.

Moreover, this Lingxu was the most handsome man she had ever seen, and so powerful; she was somewhat moved, and Chen Luoyun was the same.

Xingyi shook his head helplessly, then left with Shadow, leaving the two women here to wait for Lingxu.

"Sister Luoyun, how old do you think Senior Ling is? Does he have a wife? And why does he look so young?" Xingxin asked curiously.

Chen Luoyun said, "According to the records on the continent, among most Title Douluo who have reached Hunshiliujiji or higher, the youngest in history was seventy-eight years old."

"The record for Level 97 on the continent is ninety-three years old."

"Level 98 is one hundred and thirty-six years old. As for Jiushijiji, it seems it has never appeared! I have never seen any records regarding this."

"So Senior Ling's actual age must be over a hundred?" Xingxin said.

Chen Luoyun nodded and said, "It should be."

"But he looks so young, like he's only twenty."

In reality, Lingxu was truly in his twenties, just over twenty-two.

"At Senior Ling's level, perhaps one cannot judge his actual age by his appearance, so at his age, perhaps even his grandchildren are older than us."

"If you want to get married, you can ask if Senior Ling has any grandsons or great-grandsons of a suitable age for you," Chen Luoyun teased.

Now that the Star Empire was saved, their moods relaxed quite a bit.

However, upon hearing Chen Luoyun's various speculations, Xingxin blushed, "What grandsons or great-grandsons? I am not considering any of that."

While the two women were teasing each other, Lingxu had already arrived at the location of the allied forces of the two great empires.

At this moment, the Sunset Empire and the Underworld Moon Empire were already preparing to attack the city, and in front of the great army, two males were tied up tightly.

The older one was around twenty years old, and the younger one was only fourteen or fifteen.

Lingxu looked at the portraits and naturally recognized them: the Second Prince and the Sixth Prince of the Star Empire.

In front of tens of thousands of troops, using two princes to sacrifice to the flag—they actually thought of that.

"The time has come, bring the people up to sacrifice to the flag for our allied forces' general offensive!" the marshal of the two great empires' allied forces shouted loudly from the high platform!
