Chapter 82: Death of Xue Xing, the Fate of Xue Beng
With almost no resistance, the Spirit Douluo whose soul power level reached eighty-five was killed by Qin Xiao with a single punch!
Everyone witnessed it, and an inexplicable chill swept through their hearts.
Instant kill!
Another instant kill!
It was the same when dealing with Xue Xing, and it remained the same against this death soldier.
Silence.
A deathly silence.
Everyone subconsciously looked up at the figure high above.
It was as if he was a god descending.
"Do you see it?"
"The situation is settled. The culprit, Xue Xing, has been subdued. Do you still want to struggle fearlessly?"
"Do you still want to accompany Xue Xing to the grave?"
"From now on, drop your weapons. I, Xue Qinghe, guarantee in the name of the crown prince that you will receive lenient treatment. If you contribute to capturing the rebels, your merits can offset your faults!"
Suddenly, Xue Qinghe's voice echoed in the hall, spreading into everyone's ears.
"Clang."
A soldier dropped his long sword.
His action triggered a series of chain reactions.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people had discarded their weapons and abandoned resistance.
"Damn, who stabbed my waist!"
Suddenly, a death soldier in black screamed in pain.
A long sword had been thrust into his waist.
He turned around and found that the one who attacked him was his comrade-in-arms who had fought alongside him just now.
Can death soldiers betray too?
The answer was, of course.
When those who could restrain them no longer could, they would yearn for freedom and take practical actions.
Similarly, this action also triggered significant chain reactions.
One after another, death soldiers in black fell.
Some even made such sounds:
"Damn, I also want to defect, don't stab me!"
Crowd: "What a group of spineless waste."
Xue Xing's voice seemed to squeeze through his teeth.
In no time, the cries of killing gradually stopped.
Before, there were at least a thousand people in front of the main hall.
Now, there were barely five hundred.
Half of them were dead or injured.
Boom!
Xue Xing was thrown down from mid-air by Qin Xiao, heavily crashing onto the ground.
His injuries became even more severe.
His combat power was practically nonexistent.
"Many thanks for Your Highness's assistance. Qinghe is deeply grateful!"
Xue Qinghe bowed to Qin Xiao, expressing sincere gratitude.
This was from the bottom of his heart. If Qin Xiao hadn't intervened, he might not even be able to stand up now.
After all, Xue Xing's strength was truly unexpected. His sudden attack caught everyone off guard.
Qin Xiao said indifferently, "Your request has been fulfilled. We are now even."
Xue Qinghe was momentarily stunned, feeling somewhat unwilling. At the same time, he couldn't help but mutter silently, this man is truly ruthless and unfeeling.
"Your Majesty, the rebellion has been quelled. Please take charge of the overall situation!"
At this moment, Meng Shenji respectfully spoke to the imperial palace hall.
"Good!"
Soon, the weakened voice of Emperor Xue Ye rang out in the hall.
Qin Xiao waited for a while, and amid a grating sound, the tightly closed towering hall doors were opened.
He saw an old man in gorgeous attire walking out from inside.
"This almost lifeless appearance is undoubtedly the Emperor of the Tian Dou Empire, Emperor Xue Ye," Qin Xiao thought to himself.
After Emperor Xue Ye appeared, the first thing he did was not deal with Xue Xing and Xue Beng. Instead, he gave Qin Xiao a distant bow, expressing gratitude, "Emperor Xue Ye thanks Mr. Qin for his help!"
"Your Majesty is too kind. I only did it to repay the favor to the Crown Prince," Qin Xiao said, descending slowly and standing aside.
He maintained an indifferent attitude.
"After this matter is over, Xue Ye will definitely express our gratitude."
After Emperor Xue Ye finished speaking, he looked towards Xue Xing.
At this moment, Xue Xing also staggered to his feet, coldly looking at Emperor Xue Ye in the distance.
Xue Beng didn't know when he arrived by Xue Xing's side.
"Don't you have anything to say to Us?"
Emperor Xue Ye looked at his younger brother with a touch of regret in his eyes.
"What is there to say?"
In contrast, Xue Xing smiled bitterly.
"Hehe, it's a matter of winning or losing, what else is there to say?"
"Do I need to kneel down and beg you for forgiveness?"
"But, honestly, even if I begged you, would you spare me?"
Unexpectedly, Xue Xing started a series of counterquestions.
It was quite a cunning move. Qin Xiao nodded secretly when he saw this.
The intellect and demeanor displayed by Xue Xing at this moment made him look up to him.
Completely different from the tearful, kneeling, and remorseful appearance often seen in novels.
In fact, this was normal.
On the other hand, after Emperor Xue Ye heard Xue Xing's words, he fell into silence.
Complex emotions flickered in his eyes, showing that he was considering how to deal with Xue Xing.
Thud.
At this moment, Xue Beng suddenly knelt down.
"Father, your son knows his mistake. Can you forgive your son?"
Xue Xing wasn't afraid of death, but Xue Beng couldn't afford to be unafraid.
After all, he was just a second-generation young master who had turned into a true second-generation young master.
"A spineless waste, I knew you were useless long ago."
Xue Xing looked down at Xue Beng and sneered.
On the other hand, Xue Beng's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Father, it's Xue Xing. Everything is orchestrated by Xue Xing, and I am just a puppet in his hands."
"Plotting treason in the palace was not my intention."
"Father."
However, Xue Beng's pleading not only did not gain Emperor Xue Ye's forgiveness but also intensified the anger on Emperor Xue Ye's face.
"Shut up!"
"Your ambitious but incompetent nature; do you even consider whether you are fit to sit on the throne?"
"From now on, you will no longer be the empire's prince, let alone my son."
"Seize him, take him down, and exile him to the borderlands. He shall never return to the Tian Dou Imperial City!"
Emperor Xue Ye pointed at Xue Beng, coldly commanding.
"What!"
"Father, think twice. I am your biological son."
"Father, Royal Brother, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me!"
"I am willing to return to my fief and live a quiet life."
Xue Beng panicked, continuously kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Exile to the borderlands wasn't a luxurious life; it meant hard labor. And the borderlands were remote and harsh. For Xue Beng, it seemed worse than death.
However, all his pleas were in vain.
"Take him away."
Emperor Xue Ye didn't want to say anything more; he waved his hand.
"Yes."
Zhi Lin stepped forward and carried Xue Beng away as if holding a little chicken.
"Xue Xing, do you acknowledge your wrongs."
At this moment, Emperor Xue Ye's gaze fell on Xue Xing again.
Wrong?
Xue Xing hesitated for a moment, nodding, "I was wrong. I truly made a mistake."
Saying this, he looked at Qin Xiao, "My mistake lies in not resisting Xue Beng's slander from the beginning, provoking such a formidable enemy."
This was the thing Xue Xing regretted the most.
If there hadn't been a strong opponent like Qin Xiao standing against him, how could he have possibly lost?
"Blame me?" Qin Xiao shrugged indifferently.
"Take him down as well. Tomorrow, I will publicly try him!"
Emperor Xue Ye, with a somewhat headache, rubbed his forehead and said in a deep voice.
"Yes."
Hearing this, Bai Baoshan responded solemnly.
However.
Before he could step forward, Xue Xing suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha, try me? I, Xue Xing, even if I fail, none of you can blame me, and no one can judge me!"
As his voice fell, a powerful soul power fluctuation erupted from Xue Xing's body again.
"Protect His Majesty!"
Meng Shenji and Bai Baoshan hurriedly shielded Emperor Xue Ye, one on the left and one on the right.
However.
Xue Xing didn't intend to struggle desperately.
He used his soul power to shatter all the meridians in his body.
His vitality quickly dissipated.
"He's taking his own life."
Qin Xiao thought to himself.
It had to be said that Xue Xing's ending was unexpected.
The scene fell silent.
Drip, drip, drip.
After some time, a rapid footsteps sound came from outside the palace.
People subconsciously looked over.
Figures clad in armor were quickly approaching.
"Protect the Emperor!"
"Hurry, protect the Emperor!"
These people shouted.
However,
Before they could showcase their abilities, they all froze.
The battle seems to have ended?
"Your Majesty, I am late!"
At this moment, a dignified old man in armor stood out from the crowd and came to Emperor Xue Ye, kneeling on one knee.
His face was full of shame.
"General Gonglong, get up quickly, you're back."
"Besides, I am unharmed, right?"
Finally, a relieved smile appeared on Emperor Xue Ye's face.
He is the Marshal of the Tian Dou Empire, General Go Long? Qin Xiao nodded slightly; his temperament was indeed extraordinary.
"Leader Meng, Commissioner Bai, it's thanks to you both for protecting His Majesty thoroughly."
"General Gonglong expresses his gratitude to both of you!"
After hearing Emperor Xue Ye's words, General Gonglong, the marshal, looked at Meng Shenji and Bai Baoshan with gratitude.
However, both of them shook their heads simultaneously.
"Marshal, you are too kind."
"Actually, the one you should thank is not me, but Mr. Qin."
Bai Baoshan did not dare to take credit.
It can be said that if it weren't for Qin Xiao, they might not have left with intact bodies.
"Yes, if it weren't for Mr. Qin's intervention, that ambitious guy Xue Xing might have succeeded."
Meng Shenji, now thinking back on the situation, also felt a chill.
"Mr. Qin? Who is that?"
General Go long was puzzled; he couldn't recall any powerful figure with the surname Qin in the Tian Dou Empire.
"General Go long, Mr. Qin is right behind you."
Emperor Xue Ye reminded General Gonglong.
"Behind?"
General Gonglong subconsciously turned around.
The first person he saw was Qin Xiao.
"This young man is quite extraordinary. Standing among the crowd, he stands out like a crane among chickens. A promising talent."
General Go long secretly admired, but soon shifted his gaze elsewhere, continuing to search.
He couldn't believe that Qin Xiao could be the Mr. Qin highly praised by the two major committees and Emperor Xue Ye.
In his opinion, meeting such criteria would require an aged Title Douluo powerhouse, right?
People shook their heads helplessly; how couldn't they see Qin Xiao, such a big figure?
If his eyes weren't working, he should donate them to someone in need.
"Marshal, this is Mr. Qin Xiao."
Just as General Gonglong was puzzled, a pale-faced Xue Qinghe came to Qin Xiao's side, introducing him to General Gonglong.
"What?"
"Is this really him?"
General Gonglong was shocked.
He was completely stunned by Xue Qinghe's words.
"General Go long, don't be rude to Mr. Qin. Although Mr. Qin is young, he is indeed a Title Douluo-level powerhouse."
Emperor Xue Ye's voice echoed in the hall.
Naturally, this reached General Gonglong's ears.
"Your Majesty, are you joking with me?"
"He, this Mr. Qin, a young man like him, is a Title Douluo-level powerhouse?"
General Gonglong looked at Emperor Xue Ye in disbelief.
Not only was Emperor Xue Ye serious, but those around him, including Bai Baoshan and Meng Shenji, were also solemn.
Apparently, This was not a joke.
Gululu!
General Go long forcefully swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
He believed it now; this was true.
This... really happened?!
Immediately, he bowed to Qin Xiao, "General Go long has been offensive; please don't blame me, Mr. Qin."
Qin Xiao shook his head, "Ignorance is not a crime."
Then.
He said to Emperor Xue Ye, "The matter here is settled. Qin will take his leave now."
He bid farewell.
After all, he had completed what he came for, and he didn't want to deal with the aftermath.
"Please go ahead, Mr. Qin."
"In the future, there will be heavy thanks from the Xue Ye."
Emperor Xue Ye said respectfully to Qin Xiao.
To this, Qin Xiao nodded slightly.
He turned and walked towards the outside of the palace, and the crowd spontaneously made way for him.
In almost everyone's eyes, there was a look of respect and admiration.
The figure of Qin Xiao, like a god descending to the mortal world, would be unforgettable in their lifetime.
Even Xue Qinghe had a look of awe in his eyes.
The figure of this man had unconsciously imprinted itself on his heart.
But, perhaps because of being too relaxed.
A feeling of exhaustion and powerlessness suddenly surged into Xue Qinghe's heart.
He felt his vision dimming, and his entire person plunged into endless darkness.
"Crown Prince!"
"Your Highness, what happened to you!"
"."
Just as Qin Xiao walked not far, he heard cries of surprise from behind.
He turned around to find that Xue Qinghe had collapsed on the ground.
It seemed like he had lost all consciousness.
Needless to say, this was extremely dangerous for Xue Qinghe.
"Oh, what's going on? It's dangerous. Big brother, ah, big sister, just when I helped you resolve the matter, do you want to expose your identity?"
"Xue Beng isn't dead yet."
Qin Xiao was now speechless. At the same time, he thought of many things in an instant.
If someone were to approach Xue Qinghe, it might expose his true identity.
In that case.
The imperial throne of the Tian Dou Empire would be lost again.
He looked at Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and others rushing towards Xue Qinghe, and immediately shouted, "Wait!"
Even he did not hesitate to use his soul power to activate the Thunder Sound.
His voice, accompanied by powerful soul power, resonated in everyone's minds, causing a buzzing sound.
However, it had to be said that this method was very effective.
Everyone instinctively stopped their steps, looking at Qin Xiao in confusion.
"Your Highness, what's your intention?"
Meng Shenji asked with courage.
"My meaning is."
"Let him go; let me handle it!"
Qin Xiao said, taking a step, and the next moment he appeared in front of Xue Qinghe, spanning dozens of meters.
