"Your Excellency, we will definitely return in triumph!"
"You're tired, Your Excellency. I don't understand what you're saying. I can only promise you that the Third Demon God's men won't be able to take half a step into the city. Rest well here. When you wake up, we'll be at your side. "
"My warriors have always been advancing."
"You're our emperor, and we're your subordinates. Before we die in battle, we won't let you do anything dangerous. You know General Ning, you also know General Ning's troops. We believe that General Ning will return triumphantly. Please believe in General Ning as well! "
"Your Excellency, please return to rest!"
"Your Excellency, we don't understand what you're saying!"
As he stared at the three bloody heads, Kui Lin's mind replayed the words they'd spoken.
His lips quivered, but he couldn't cry for a long time. The silent stare caused the tears in his eyes to pour down like a broken dam.
The eyes of the remaining two Sovereign Emperors filled with pain as they looked at their companion, who only had a head left.
However, they only glanced at him for a moment before looking away. They turned to the demon army behind the Third Demon God and took a few steps forward, their eyes filled with determination.
"Heh, they're truly loyal."
The Third Demon God's lips twisted in a faint smile. Given the current situation, the outcome was already set in stone.
Given the remnants of his army, Kui Lin had long since lost any chance of turning the tables.
Kui Lin and the others only had two choices. They could either die standing, or lay down their weapons and willingly be captured.
Judging from the two emperors' expressions, they seemed to want to choose the former.
"If you want to deal with the Emperor, you'll have to do it over our dead bodies."
The emperor's gaze was piercingly cold. As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining soldiers raised their weapons with bloodshot eyes.
"Over our dead bodies."
Their determination to face death unflinchingly moved many of the Third Demon God's men. Almost none of the soldiers still loyal to Kui Lin were uninjured.
In fact, the Third Demon God had several times as many soldiers as Kui Lin and the others.
How could they still be so resolute in such a situation?
"Kui Lin, are you going to hide behind them for the rest of your life?"
The Third Demon God shouted. The eyes of the long-haired Sovereign Emperor standing in front of Kui Lin immediately turned cold.
"Impudent!"
He raised his battle axe and charged at the Third Demon God. Imperial Lords moved very quickly, and the soldiers around the Third Demon God were unable to react in time.
They hadn't expected Kui Lin's men to actually dare attack them.
In that moment of distraction, the long-haired Thearch's battle-ax had already reached the Third Demon God's neck.
At this moment, a blood-red light flashed across the sky.
This blood-red light was extremely fast. Even the gravel in the city was blown up by the gale created by this blood-red light.
In the blink of an eye, the blood-red light arrived in front of the Sovereign Lord expert. "Ding Ding Ding" sounds of weapons colliding could be heard, and dazzling sparks flashed where they clashed.
Before long, the long-haired Sovereign Emperor was like a kite with its string cut. His head was facing the ground, and his body was riddled with bone-deep wounds. He plummeted to the ground.
"Yin!"
Kui Lin stared intently at the long-haired monarch descending from the sky, then turned his attention to the Third Demon God. The owner of that bloody light was none other than the Six Demon Gods, the Red Demon. Fresh blood dripped from the dagger in his hand.
"Thank you for your help, Your Excellency."
The Third Demon God took a few steps back and bowed.
By now, the Third Demon God was one of the demons' older generation. Whether it was in terms of reputation or status, he was second to none.
However, if he were to be compared to the Red Fiend, he would be far inferior.
Back when the Third Demon God had only been an ordinary demon officer, the Red Fiend had been the leader of the Six Fiends. He'd followed the old Demon Emperor to conquer the world.
The Red Fiend nodded at him, then waved his hand casually.
"Don't be so reserved. I only attacked because I wanted to get rid of them as quickly as possible. The old Demon Emperor is still waiting for us in the capital."
"You're right, Your Excellency," said the Third Demon God.
"Red Fiend!"
Kui Lin roared, his voice hoarse. The Red Fiend glanced at him.
When he saw Kui Lin's disheveled hair, the strands of silver in his hair, and his aged face, he couldn't help but sigh ruefully.
Regardless of the relationship between Kui Lin and the old Demon Emperor, Kui Lin was a true hegemon.
Whether it was his realm, vision, scheming, methods, or ability to control others, he was the best of the best.
It was a pity that such an ambitious and ruthless person had ended up in such a state.
However, this pity only lasted for a moment. No matter how pitiful Kui Lin was, it couldn't erase the Red Fiend's hatred for him.
Kui Lin's eyes flashed with a sneer as he put away his pity for him.
"You never dreamed that the old Demon Emperor would still be alive, did you? The demons you've worked so hard to build up over tens of thousands of years can't even compare to the old Demon Emperor. You never would have guessed either, did you? I, the Sixth Demon Emperor, survived. All of your schemes were for naught. How pitiful. "
Kui Lin's mocking smile reflected in his eyes. The truth was right in front of him, and he couldn't refute it.
This was the truth. The demons he'd worked so hard to build up over tens of thousands of years couldn't even compare to the Frigid Pond's call.
He'd been deposed without even knowing it. He'd led his old subordinates to a remote corner of the world.
Despite his wild ambitions, he'd still hoped to counterattack. He'd hoped to win a beautiful battle, but Ye Zichen had dashed all his hopes.
At a time like this, Kui Lin didn't want to blame anyone or resent anyone.
If he had to blame someone, he could only blame himself for making the wrong move. If he had to blame someone, he could only blame himself for not planning carefully enough. If he had to blame someone, he could only blame himself ….
In any case, he was the one who'd fallen so far. He'd lost everything.
Right now, he only had one thought in his mind: at the very least, let his old subordinates survive. That was all.
"I've lost."
Said Kui Lin casually. As soon as he said this, his old subordinates turned to look at him.
"Your Imperial Majesty, you haven't lost yet!"
"Your Imperial Majesty, we still have a chance to make a comeback!"
"Your Imperial Majesty …."
No matter what his old subordinates said, Kui Lin simply smiled bitterly.
"If I surrender, I can leave with you."
"Your Imperial Majesty!" shouted Kui Lin's old subordinates. "However, I hope you won't take out your anger on my subordinates. They're just loyal to me, but they're also loyal to the demons. My old subordinates are all elites, and I hope you treat them well. Even if you don't value them, please don't use them.
Look at them with perverted eyes. They're nothing but loyal and devoted warriors. "
Kui Lin pursed his lips and spoke on behalf of his old subordinates. Their eyes were bloodshot as they screamed, but Kui Lin turned a deaf ear. He just stared intently at the Red Devil and Third Demon God.
"Hah, I never would have guessed the Demon Emperor would say something so spineless," sneered the Third Demon God. He'd wanted to use this opportunity to mock Kui Lin, but to his surprise, he said, "Fine, I agree."
The Red Devil nodded, his eyes serious.
"I can swear on my honor that as long as they pledge loyalty to the devils, the devil emperor and I won't do anything to harm them. It doesn't matter if they're paragons, devas, sovereigns, or even emperors, we'll make sure they're treated the way they should be."
"Fuck them! I'm not surrendering!"
Roared one of Kui Lin's remaining soldiers. He raised his weapon and charged the Third Demon God.
He was just a diviner, so he'd only made it a few hundred meters before the Third Demon God's army was riddled with holes. However, he'd rather die than submit. He was like a line of fire that ignited the entire army.
The only surviving Emperor was charging at the very front …
"Come back! All of you, come back! We surrender!"
"Your Imperial Majesty, we don't understand what you're saying."
Charge!
An unending charge!
Even though they were battered and battered, they still managed to cause quite a bit of trouble for the Third Demon God due to their fearless charge.
Unfortunately, there were too few of them, and too many of them had suffered grievous injuries.
This charge burned away the last of their energy.
They were like moths drawn to a flame, burning the last vestiges of their blood. Even if they died in battle, they didn't want to live the rest of their lives as captives.
In just a few short minutes, Kui Lin's old subordinates had gone from generals to warriors to scouts ….
Not a single one of them survived.
Lifeless corpses littered the streets of Baina City. They didn't just belong to Kui Lin's old subordinates, but also the Third Demon God's.
Dead!
They were all dead!
Kui Lin watched helplessly as his old subordinates died one by one. When he saw their final charge, he felt a pang in his chest and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He trembled as he stood, his hunched back like an old man in his twilight years.
The light of the setting sun illuminated his body, elongating it so that it covered the corpses of his fallen soldiers.
"Ha …."
With a bitter laugh, Kui Lin reached out with his right hand.
Suddenly, a silver flash appeared outside the city. It was a silver longsword. As if it had been summoned, it whined mournfully and landed in Kui Lin's hand.
It was General Ning's sword!
Kui Lin gently caressed the blade, which trembled uncontrollably, as if complaining to Kui Lin.
Its master was dead!
This was the blade Kui Lin had given to Kui Ning. Kui Lin seemed to understand the sword's language, and the sorrow in his eyes deepened.
After a long while, he tightened his grip on the hilt and swung the blade at the ground.
Combined with Kui Lin's demonic power, the sharp blade left a hundred-meter-long ditch in the city's streets.
"Kui Lin, you're still trying to act tough?"
