Chapter 592
He had been in seclusion for about two to three years. During this time, the Crown Prince of Dayan had been in charge of the affairs. No matter how big the events were, the Emperor had not appeared.
Along the way, they experienced stupa mountain and Ying Guang’s independence, the decisive battle between Shen lang and Ying Guang, and finally stupa mountain being completely erased from the world.
However, these things seemed insignificant in the emperor’s eyes. He was still in the taboo tower, and no one knew what he was doing.
..................
It was the new year again!
Ever since Shen lang returned from the Western world, time seemed to have passed very quickly. The last time they celebrated the new year was when Shen lang had just rescued Jin Jun and the others from the Vajra peak. At that time, the great Qian Empire and the new Qian Kingdom were in an absolute state of opposition. The entire Eastern world did not have the atmosphere of celebrating the New Year.
There was still no atmosphere for the new year this time.
Because every New Year, it seemed that something big was going to happen, attracting the attention of the whole world.
Currently, the entire Eastern world was in shock and awe of the great Yan Empire.
More than half a month ago, stupa mountain and dark Castle in the southern seas were completely wiped off the face of the earth by the Empire of Great Yan using extreme methods.
In the past, the Empire of Yan would claim that it was a tsunami or an earthquake, and would never admit that it was Dragon’s regret.
But this time, the Yan capital remained silent.
Silence was equivalent to tacit agreement.
The entire world had been completely suppressed. Regardless of whether it was the Wu, Chu, and Yue countries or the other countries under the Great Yan Dynasty, all of them were trembling and did not dare to make a sound.
The Yan capital was too terrifying, too powerful, and too cruel.
Now that Ying Guang had been destroyed and stupa mountain was gone, Shen lang was the only enemy left in the entire Eastern world. The Yan capital had sent a countdown to the destruction of the raging tide city.
Everyone was waiting for the countdown to end, waiting for the Super Dragon’s regret to ring out again, waiting for raging tide city to be completely wiped off the face of the earth.
The fate of the great Qian Empire seemed to have been decided and could not be changed.
If even stupa mountain’s ancient interception device could not stop Dragon’s regret, was there anything else in the world that could? It was completely gone.
..................
A New Year’s Eve banquet was being held in the palace of Yan capital.
There was one more person this year, and that was the eldest Princess, who was once sect master Ren’s wife. The Emperor still had not come out of seclusion, and everyone was spending New Year’s Eve in the Empress Dowager’s Palace. There weren’t many of them, only a dozen or so. One of them was Princess Ji ning.
Many years had passed, but she didn’t seem to have changed at all. She was still as exquisite as ever, and her skin was so white that it seemed transparent. It had been almost seven years since she last met Shen lang. At that time, she looked like she was 16 years old, and she still looked like she was 16 now.
On the night of the New Year’s Eve, her face was full of smiles as if nothing had happened. It was as if the little princess who had tried to cut Ji Xuan’s throat with a dagger was not her.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, the Empress Dowager gave everyone New Year’s money and looked very happy.
Eldest Princess Ji also had a smile on her face at all times, as if all the misfortunes of the past 30 years had never existed.
........................
Qianjing city was in a state of desolation.
Shen Lang’s Army had firmly ruled the city. Furthermore, Zhao Lin and Ying Wuchang had prepared a list of about 200 people. Including the people involved, there were more than 2000 people. Then, within a few days, the heads of these 2000 people fell to the ground.
This was Shen Lang’s reckoning of the newly established Kingdom. Of course, this was considered a small matter as the number of people killed during the change of dynasties was much greater than this.
What truly terrified Qianjing city was the upcoming confrontation between Great Yan and great Qian!
Was the scene from thirty years ago going to happen again? After the decisive battle between the great Qian Empire and the great Yan Empire, Jiang Li died suddenly and the million soldiers of the great Yan Empire charged into the Qian country, burning, killing, and snatching. It was like the end of the world.
Therefore, even though it was the new year, there was no atmosphere in the entire Qianjing city. The entire city was as cold as a cellar. They didn’t even have the mood to cook.
Very soon, the great Yan Empire would use Dragon’s regret to wipe out the entire raging tide city. Once the city was destroyed, the great Qian Empire would be considered to have perished.
Then what would happen to Qianjing city? It was said that the third Princess Ying’s son had been adopted by the Ying clan and would soon be conferred the title of King of the great Ying Kingdom.
It was best if there was no war. As long as he was alive, everything was fine.
..............................
At this moment, the situation in Chu country was bustling with activity.
Dragon’s regret had destroyed stupa mountain, causing the flood from the floating sea to flow into Chu country. It had flooded three counties, and more than a few hundred thousand people were affected.
Now that more than ten days had passed, the flood had finally receded completely, and the disaster relief was coming to an end.
Thanks to the 2000 snow Eagle Riders that Shen lang sent over, the lives of the victims were saved. Otherwise, there would be countless casualties.
Now, tens of thousands of people were still living in tents, but this New Year’s Eve was spent in a rush. There was meat and wine on every table. King Chu, Su Nan and Zhao Lin were all celebrating the New Year in the area where the victims of disaster gathered.
“Full on, full on, full on the Kasaya!”
“Let’s do it, let’s do it, Yingluo.”
“Everyone should have seen it clearly by now. The Empire of Great Yan is known as the legitimate ruler of the world, but does the Ji clan care about the lives of the people? Didn’t they know that if they destroyed stupa mountain, the entire Chu country would be submerged and countless people would be homeless? They knew, but they still did it because they completely treated us like ants.”
“However, His Majesty Shen lang is different. He immediately sent the most Elite Air Legion over. Sir su Nan, how many air legions does our great Qian Empire have?”
“All in all, it’s about two thousand,” said Sue.
“Now that the 2000 aerial troops are all in the disaster area, what does this prove? His Majesty Shen lang was the true ruler of justice and the Master of Destiny. Those people in the Yan capital claimed to be benevolent, righteous, and moral, and loved the people like their own children, but what was the result? Emperor Shen lang has never said anything good or praised himself. However, in order to protect his people, he has done his best.”
it’s our fortune and pride to have such a monarch.
long live Your Majesty Shen lang, long live, long live Your Majesty.
“I wish Emperor Shen lang a long life.”
“I heard that the Yan capital has even given a countdown to the destruction of our raging tide city? To completely erase raging tide city from this world? Hahahaha, my ass!”
“Who was the first player to play Dragon’s regret? It was his Majesty Shen lang! Other people might not be able to do anything to long Zhi’s regret, but His Majesty Shen lang might be able to destroy long Zhi’s regret with a single piss.”
As soon as he said that, all the disaster victims responded in unison.
Suddenly, someone said,”all of you keep saying things like Emperor Shen lang peed, isn’t that a little disrespectful?” His Majesty is like a god, how could he have such a vulgar action?”
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him with strange expressions.
Brother, you’re still too naive. It’s true that His Majesty is a God, but once he becomes vulgar, it’s beyond your imagination. What can’t a person like him do? At that time, in gan Jing, Ying Guang had released countless destruction Gu worms, and tens of thousands of soldiers were about to be completely annihilated. It was Emperor Chen Lang who stepped forward and swallowed all the Gu worms in a few underwear. Then, he appeared naked in front of everyone. If it wasn’t for Princess Dora who quickly came forward to put a robe on him, he would probably have been naked for a whole day.
........................
In the Paradise Manor, Shen lang spent the new year with ning yuanxian and the children.
The three words in the sky were particularly eye-catching. This was the countdown to the Yan capital’s destruction, and it changed every day without a single mistake.
The flying snake Army and the self-destructing jellyfish Army that Shen lang brought with him were all hidden under the sea and were nowhere to be seen.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner and the red packets were given out, the children resisted the urge to sleep because they wanted to stay up for the new year.
Nana, now that the Ying clan has been destroyed, the fake Qiang King is panicking and trying his best to show his loyalty to the Yan capital. However, the Crown Prince of Great Yan didn’t meet him. We can just send out an Army to wipe out the fake Qiang king’s army and let you take back the throne. “What do you think?” Shen lang asked.
I don’t want to go back, ” arunana said, shaking her head. I don’t want to be the Queen anymore. Besides, before you and the Empire of Great Yan have a winner, nothing is real. Just wait until Zhuang Zhuang grows up.”
At this moment, aruzhuang was setting off fireworks with his sister, brothers, and sisters. He was only nine years old this year, but he was already more than 1.7 meters tall. He looked like an adult, and his martial arts skills were terrifyingly high.
“When he turns sixteen, I’ll give him the throne. I’m going to travel the world with dumb.” Arunana said.
Eh? You’re going to travel the world with dumb? Aren’t you afraid of getting lost?
..............................
Shen lang pushed ning yuanxian in his wheelchair and strolled in the garden.
This was the good thing about Paradise Manor. It was like spring all year round. Even though it was New Year’s Eve, it was still more than ten degrees, and he didn’t feel cold. There were even many flowers in the manor.
Child, if you were not Emperor Jiang Li’s son, how would you be now? ” Ning yuanxian suddenly asked.
Shen lang said, ” then I have no grudges with anyone. I’ll just eat and wait for death. I’ll travel around the world with Mulan.
“This battle is about to begin. Are you ready for the next one?”
“This time, I’m really not prepared,” Shen lang said.
Because the next battle would be a direct Northern Expedition to the Yan capital, where they would eliminate their second last enemy, the Emperor of Great Yan.
Shen lang said, ” I’ve always heard that the Emperor of Great Yan has a Dragon. Now, it seems that this might not be a legend. Recently, the Empire of Yan has been having a lot of fun using Dragon’s regret. After the impact of the fiery-Dragon comet, many powers seemed to have been unsealed.”
at least thirty years ago, ” ning yuanxian said, ” the Yan capital shouldn’t have had the power of Dragon’s regret. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have just been Emperor Jiang Li’s sudden death. The Yan capital would have used Dragon’s regret to wash the land.
Shen lang said, ” father-in-law, ever since the fire-Dragon comet hit this world for the last time, the Emperor of Great Yan has been in seclusion. What do you think he is doing in the taboo tower? ”
“What do you think?” ning yuanxian asked.
“Is he Awakening the Dragon or trying to understand the Dragon?” Shen lang asked.
you’re making it sound too high-level, ” ning yuanxian said. Little Kings like us can’t understand it.
Shen lang sighed once again. He had gone too early to the pyramid at the top of the snow Mountain in the ruins of The Lost Country. What a pity.
That was because the character was too mysterious. Shen lang could really comprehend a lot.
This kind of enlightenment was extremely important. The shallowest level was to sense the Dragon’s history, the Dragon’s power, the Dragon’s destruction, and the Dragon’s anger.
At a deeper level, he would be able to understand how Dragon’s regret was formed-the principle of destruction. On a deeper level, it was to sense the spiritual resonance and compatibility between the human and the Dragon.
These were even important moments at the epic stage. They would completely determine one’s future fate and the structure of the world. One should be mentally prepared and mentally prepared before comprehending them.
In the end, Shen lang went there rashly, comprehended it rashly, and ended it rashly.
At this moment, the children suddenly shouted.
“Ten, nine, eight runes.”
It turned out that the new year was about to officially begin. The first day of the first lunar month was just around the corner, and the children were counting down.
“Three, two, one, zero!!!”
In the end, the countdown in the sky had changed from three to two. The Yan capital’s destruction was on point.
“It’s the new year, it’s the new year!”
Hundreds of children cheered in joy.
Then, countless fireworks shot up into the sky. Not only in Paradise Manor, but also in raging tide city, and even on the sea, to celebrate the Spring Festival.
In fact, all this time, raging tide city didn’t pay much attention to the Spring Festival, let alone setting off fireworks.
The countdown in the sky was too eye-catching, and people couldn’t help but pay attention to the time and the Spring Festival.
As he heard the children’s cheers, Shen Lang’s mind started to wander.
There were only two days left on the countdown.
At that time, the Yan capital would use many Super Dragon’s regrets to destroy raging tide city and Leizhou Island. Should he transfer ning yuanxian and the hundreds of children away?
If they were to move, where would they go? Raging tide city was already the safest place.
Shen lang closed his eyes and simulated the battle situation again.
Can I, Shen lang, intercept all of the Super Dragon’s regret in the air? None of them could land and explode, otherwise, it would be a disaster for both raging tide city and the great Qian Empire.
I can, I can definitely do it.
....................................
The first and second of the first month!
The countdown above raging tide city became one.
There was only one day left before the Yan capital’s destruction of raging tide city.
However, the people of the world were puzzled, and even the people of raging tide city were puzzled.
At this critical moment, Shen lang did not have any intention of transferring the main force back to raging tide city.
The 50,000 new soldiers of great Qian were still in Qianjing. Even the 30000 soldiers of the hell Army who had just pledged their loyalty to Shen lang were in Qianjing.
A total of 2000 stupa mountain Special Forces Warriors had completed their disaster relief efforts. 1000 of them had entered Qianjing city, and 1000 had entered raging tide city.
In other words, at this time, there were only a thousand Special Forces Warriors in raging tide city, and they had just surrendered. The remaining main force was almost all gone?
He really could not understand. Emperor Shen Lang’s actions were too mysterious.
This is the first war between the Empire of Yan and the Empire of Qian. The Yan capital is going to raze your raging tide city to the ground. You should have gathered all your troops and weapons in the city and prepared for a war that could destroy an entire country.
In the end, you don’t even have an Army. Do you not even want your Foundation?
....................................
Northern Yan capital.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
A huge crack appeared on the ground, and a huge door opened.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
One by one, the supersonic flying beasts flew into the sky at an extremely fast speed.
This chasm looked very much like the ancient Air Force Base near the king Kong peak. Under the huge chasm was an endless abyss, and the caves on both sides of the cliff were nests of ultrasonic flying beasts.
Each of the supersonic flying beasts here was larger than da Chao. They were nearly 50 meters long and had a wingspan of 50 meters.
Each of the supersonic flying beasts had a horn on top of their head. Of course, those were not real horns, but nightmare stone receiving devices, a bit like an antenna. The Special Forces Knights relied on this to control each supersonic flying beast.
Furthermore, every single supersonic flying beast in the Empire of Great Yan was equipped with a special scale armor. These scales were not grown on their bodies, but were embedded into them alive, piece by piece.
These scale armors could withstand most of the ancient crossbows, ancient war crossbows, and even flame attacks. They were almost invulnerable.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Countless supersonic flying beasts flew up to an altitude of 5000 meters and assembled in formation.
A whole 1000 of them! This number was already very shocking. Shen lang only had one Super Beast, but it was enough to make the entire stupa mountain’s aerial Army lose their temper.
In every battle, the Super League was almost able to take on a hundred enemies by itself.
1,000 supersonic flying beasts, what kind of combat power was that? It was simply unimaginable. It should be able to destroy all the air legions in this world combined, and it should be able to destroy more than hundreds of thousands of ground legions.
Immediately after.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!” An even larger crack appeared on the ground at another place, spanning several miles.
“Hu hu hu hu ~~~”
Four humongous creatures flew out from inside. They were still ultrasonic flying beasts, but they seemed to have mutated. Their bodies were especially large, at least twice the size of other ultrasonic flying beasts.
The four mutated flying beasts lifted a huge object and flew into the sky.
Dragon’s power launcher!
Just as Shen lang had expected, the Empire of Great Yan’s so-called long-range strategic attack was not launched from thousands of miles away. Instead, it was launched from an extremely high altitude.
Moreover, the Dragon’s power launcher had been modified. Compared to Shen Lang’s Dragon’s power, it was smaller, about half the size. However, the caliber was larger, and the Dragon’s regret that could be fired was larger.
Not only that, but the Super Dragon’s regret of the Empire of Yan was also different. First of all, they were larger and more powerful, but they were lighter.
The Dragon’s regret from stupa mountain and Shen lang weighed about 40000 to 50000 Jin each. However, the Super Dragon’s regret from the Empire of Great Yan weighed about 20000 Jin, and its power was 1.5 times that of an ordinary Dragon’s regret.
“Hu hu hu hu ~~~”
The first Super Dragon power in the air, the second, the third, the fourth, and the fifth Suan ni.
In the end, a total of 13 Super Dragon power launchers were suspended in the air.
The last time they destroyed stupa mountain, the Yan capital had only used five Super Dragon’s regrets to launch five waves.
This time, in order to destroy raging tide city, the Yan capital had actually used 13 Super Dragon powers, a total of 50 Super Dragon’s regrets.
The Yan capital had not used their Super Air Forces to destroy stupa mountain and dark Castle in the southern seas.
And this time, in order to destroy raging tide city, 1000 supersonic flying beasts were dispatched, and each flying beast was equipped with a real special warrior, which was even more powerful than stupa mountain.
In the eyes of the Yan capital, Shen Lang’s great Qian Empire was much more powerful than stupa mountain. Therefore, even though there were no guards in raging tide city, the Yan capital still used 10 times the strength they had when they destroyed stupa mountain.
All the Super legions had been assembled.
The Crown Prince of the Empire of Great Yan personally came to send them off. Just as Shen lang had expected, the one leading the Super Army was Princess Ji Xuan, Prince Xinlian, and eldest Princess Ji, who was also sect leader Ren’s wife.
The Crown Prince of the Empire of Great Yan furrowed his brows. He did not like the eldest Princess to participate in this battle.
The resentment in this aunt’s heart was too strong. Not only was she resentful of stupa mountain and great Qian Empire, but she was also resentful of the great Yan Empire and the Ji clan.
The Crown Prince of Dayan looked at Princess Ji Xuan and said, ” “Finish the battle quickly and make sure to destroy all the targets in raging tide city. This includes the underground laboratory, the Arsenal, the shipyard, the castle, and everything else.”
understood, ” Princess Ji Xuan said. it’s even more thorough than the destruction of stupa mountain. Everything in raging tide city will be wiped off the face of the earth.
“Then, go!” The Crown Prince of Great Yan said.
The Crown Prince of Dayan gave the order.
The Yan capital’s super Army officially set off.
The 13 Super Dragon power launchers were hidden at an altitude of 19000 meters. They couldn’t be seen at all, and if necessary, they could fly even higher.
The army of one thousand supersonic flying beasts was also at an altitude of thirteen thousand meters, and could not be seen.
This was the effect that he wanted. It was as if he had been struck by a God from beyond the nine Heavens, and before he could even react, he had already turned into ashes.
Without a sound, the Yan capital’s destructive force continued to head south towards raging tide city.
....................................
This was probably the most bizarre battle.
Everyone knew when the battle would start, but it seemed like it had nothing to do with everyone in raging tide city.
Work was done, and training was done. Previously, when stupa mountain attacked raging tide city, the Army had at least gone up the city wall to watch the battle and prepare for defense.
This time, the new Great gan Army did not even go up the city walls or issue any combat missions.
After Ren tianxiao brought 1000 Special Forces Warriors into the raging tide city, they were first treated by Shen lang. Not only were they treated with medicine, but they were also treated with surgery. They even had to enter the ancient dragon Box.
However, he also did not have any combat missions.
That’s strange. When facing the Super Army of Yan capital, the ordinary Army would be useless, but the special Warriors of stupa mountain would definitely be of use.
They actually didn’t send us up? Emperor Shen lang, are you going to fight the battle with the Yan capital alone?
The countdown in the sky was still one.
However, there was another countdown in everyone’s heart. There were still three hours before the Yan capital would destroy raging tide city.
Two hours passed.
One hour!
At this time, almost everyone in raging tide city had stopped working. They walked out of their doors and looked at the sky, waiting for the final number to change.
Because when that one became zero, the Yan capital would use Super Dragon’s regret to wipe out raging tide city from the face of the world.
It was 11 p.m. On the second day of the first lunar month. There was still an hour to go before the time of destruction.
That’s right, Yan capital’s Super Dragon’s regret was going to take place at night.
But at this time, all the bells rang. This was an order. Everyone in raging tide city was to enter the underground fortifications.
Even though Shen lang was confident that he could stop all the Super Dragon’s regret in the air, everyone had to hide underground just in case.
They were really unwilling to give up, but everyone who heard the bell still entered the underground air-raid shelter.
Then, Shen lang carried the Dragon Sword on his back, rode on super, and flew into the sky.
............
At a height of 10000 meters, Shen lang closed his eyes and extended his boundless mental energy to monitor the entire sky.
After receiving the great calamity Wisdom King’s spiritual soul inheritance, he was already very familiar with the use of spiritual power. In the open sky, his spiritual power could easily monitor the air with a radius of tens of thousands of meters.
If Dragon’s regret or the enemy’s Air Force invaded, he would be the first to sense it.
He looked at his watch and saw that it was 11:59. There was less than a minute left until the final moment.
What a ritual. The moment the numbers dropped to zero, the Yan capital’s destructive attack would begin.
If he didn’t guess wrong, the Yan capital’s super Army should be less than three hundred miles away from raging tide city. However, they were above the nine Heavens, and it was night, so they couldn’t be seen at all.
The ‘one’ word above raging tide city was still shining with a blood-red light, which was extremely glaring.
10 seconds left!
Nine seconds, eight seconds, seven seconds.
The countdown ended!
The one in the sky became zero.
The destruction of the Yan capital had officially begun!
..............................
“Time’s Up!” Ji Xuan checked her watch.
“Time’s Up.” Prince Xinlian looked at his watch.
Super Dragon’s Regret’s attack on raging tide city has officially begun!
Princess Ji Xuan placed her hand on the ancient Token Ring and gently turned it.
five, four, three, two, one!
The 13 Super Dragon power nightmare stone devices at 19000 meters in the air all responded and shone.
“Fire!”
Princess Ji Xuan’s will burst out and she pressed the ancient Token Ring on her finger.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, Whoosh!”
Thirteen Super Dragon’s regrets were shot out from 19000 meters in the air.
At this moment, three hundred miles away from raging tide city.
The 13 Dragon’s regret whistled through the air with blue flames trailing behind them. They flew faster and faster in the air until they reached 10 times the speed of sound, which was 3000 meters per second. It drew a beautiful arc in the air, like a long meteor shower.
In the dark sky, it was especially eye-catching and stunning.
300 miles and 150000 meters would only take 50 seconds for Super Dragon’s regret.
Thirteen Super Dragon’s regrets were enough to completely destroy everything in raging tide city.
The explosion radius of each Dragon’s regret was more than 3500 meters, and some even 4000 meters.
Princess Ji Xuan and Prince Xinlian were high in the sky. Eldest Princess Ji looked at the 13 meteors of Super Dragon’s regret.
This strange city, raging tide city, was finally going to be destroyed.
This city should not have appeared in this world. It should have been erased even more than stupa mountain.
Eldest Princess Ji’s entire body trembled. When stupa mountain was destroyed, she was in the control core room. She could feel it, but she couldn’t see it.
This time, he could finally see the Hell’s lotus bloom.
“Can we see the destruction of raging tide city from here?” Eldest Princess Ji asked.
three hundred miles away, ” Ji Zhuo said, ” I could see the fire, but the moment the hell flower bloomed, raging tide city disappeared.
Then, the three of them held their breath and waited for the explosion to come.
....................................
At that moment, Shen lang was 20 kilometers above raging tide city.
It came, it came!
He opened his eyes. In the sky 30000 meters away, 13 meteors were flying toward him.
This scene was so beautiful that he couldn’t get tired of it.
the moment has finally come. When the Yan capital fired the fake Dragon’s regret at my Army, I didn’t stop it. After that, when you guys launched Super Dragon’s regret at stupa mountain, I did not stop you.
Everything had been for this moment.
Next, it was time to witness a miracle.
“Da Chao, fly up, fly up!” Shen lang ordered.
Then, da Chao flew up to receive the 13 Super Dragon’s regrets.
The distance between Shen lang and the 13 Dragon’s regret was getting closer and closer.
Thirty thousand meters, twenty thousand meters, ten thousand meters, three thousand meters, one thousand meters!
It was time!
Great calamity wise King, it’s time to prove your spirit and soul.
Shen lang, it’s time to prove yourself!
Instantly, an endless amount of spiritual energy burst out from Shen Lang’s brain. Through the amplification of the dragon’s heart, it entered the Dragon’s sword and was amplified once again.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
It was as if a silent mental bomb had exploded!
Instantly, the space within a ten-thousand-meter radius was enveloped by special mental power.
“Freeze!”
The 13 Super Dragon’s regrets that flew over from the Yan capital were all frozen in the air by Shen lang!
This was the true miracle!
