Chapter 1391: The Shocking Battle (2)
After Lu Hai Kong entered the realm beyond, he spent the first day wreaking havoc, but then remained holed up in Bright City, a stark contrast to his initial bloodthirsty demeanor.
Hunkered down in Bright City, he either busied himself with constructing the city's sewage system or sent his soldiers out to plant all sorts of strange seeds in the vicinity. He seemed completely unmotivated and disinterested in progress, but this changed with Liu Bolin's arrival.
From the day Liu Bolin arrived, Lu Hai Kong's approach underwent a complete transformation, and his strategy for the realm beyond was significantly adjusted.
Initially, they had planned to wait for the Beyond Domain Alliance to come to their demise, but on the second day after Liu Bolin's arrival, Lu Hai Kong's army marched out again.
Led by Huang Zhong, the force included dozens of fierce generals at the hundred-level and the Black Gale and Iron Blood Legions, ready to wreak havoc.
With such a formidable lineup, it was more like a massacre than a battle. Even the three top powers in the realm beyond had to tread carefully against such a force, let alone the nearby demon cities.
These demon cities were already weak, and with the alliance formed by Qin Shi Huang, many of them had sent their elite troops to Xianyang, leaving them vulnerable to Lu Hai Kong's forces.
In just one day, Huang Zhong's team conquered three cities!
After capturing the three cities, Lu Hai Kong's forces did not continue their offensive. Unlike the previous time, they did not destroy all three cities but instead purified one of them.
Having accomplished this, Lu Hai Kong waited patiently for the Beyond Domain Alliance's response.
However, the Beyond Domain Alliance remained unresponsive, and Qin Shi Huang's patience far exceeded Lu Hai Kong's expectations. Seeing no signs of action, Lu Hai Kong became eager.
'Fine, you're being timid, huh? Well, I'll just keep bullying you and see how long you can stay timid!'
The next day, Lu Hai Kong's army marched out again, and within a day, they conquered another three cities. Lu Hai Kong destroyed two and purified one, while also starting to transport supplies to arm the purified city, anticipating the Beyond Domain Alliance's reaction.
But Lu Hai Kong was disappointed again. Despite his elaborate attempts to provoke them into attacking, the Beyond Domain Alliance seemed to see through his intentions and refused to take the bait.
With no other choice, Lu Hai Kong continued his efforts.
On the third day, Lu Hai Kong's army marched out once more, capturing three more demon cities.
In just three days, nine demon cities had fallen to Lu Hai Kong. Even Qin Shi Huang, known for his composure, couldn't remain calm in the face of this. The rulers of the realm beyond were growing restless.
If this continued, they would all be annihilated by Lu Hai Kong. So, the various rulers sought out Qin Shi Huang, pleading for his intervention.
However, Qin Shi Huang firmly rejected their requests.
His unwavering stance nearly caused an uproar among the rulers, but fortunately, they managed to maintain their composure and did not confront Qin Shi Huang then and there.
Instead, each ruler prepared to recall their forces as soon as they left Afang Palace.
If this alliance couldn't stand against Lu Hai Kong, they saw no point in its existence.
However, what these kings didn't know was that Qin Shihuang had been waiting for this very moment—the moment when all these kings sought him out.
In fact, Qin Shihuang had originally prepared a comprehensive plan to unite the extra-dimensional allied forces, but even the most brilliant plan required time and the right environment to execute.
If Lu Hai Kong hadn't arrived, Qin Shihuang was confident that within a few months, he could have the entire extra-dimensional allied forces under his control and strengthen the legion's power. But Lu Hai Kong came early and even launched a counterattack.
Under these circumstances, Qin Shihuang's original plan was essentially ruined. If he wanted to unite the extra-dimensional allied forces in the shortest time and have them display their full strength, he could only resort to extreme measures.
Qin Shihuang's so-called method was quite simple: 'Holding the Son of Heaven to Command the Feudal Lords.' But while others who employed this tactic used only one Son of Heaven, Qin Shihuang was targeting almost all the kings from beyond the domain.
What's more interesting is that, whether it was Liu Bang or Xiang Yu, when they heard of Qin Shihuang's idea, they surprisingly agreed to support him, leaving those dozens of kings in a dire situation.
Those kings had planned to withdraw their elite forces after leaving Afang Palace, and either resist Lu Hai Kong themselves or, if all else failed, flee deep into the domain or even surrender directly to Lu Hai Kong. But Qin Shihuang didn't give them the chance, as he immediately revealed his true intentions.
Inside Afang Palace, Qin Shihuang, Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, Zhu Yuan Zhang, and other monarchs who had lost their Demon Cities, along with those who had secretly sided with Qin Shihuang, all made their moves simultaneously.
With all sides taking action, they quickly suppressed the various kings.
"The First Emperor is indeed the First Emperor, what a formidable move!"
After everything settled, one of the suppressed kings in Afang Palace looked at Qin Shihuang, a chill flashing in his eyes.

"I was forced by the circumstances, I had no choice!"
"You didn't even fight once, and you say you had no choice? I see through you now; your original target was us all along!" Zhao Kuang Yin, suppressed by the Black Dragon Aura, spoke with a cold voice.
Just as Qin Shihuang was about to respond, Xiang Yu, standing by his side, impatiently interrupted.
"Enough, enough, stop talking nonsense. We've done what needed to be done; we've helped you take down those you wanted. Now, it's time to focus on dealing with Lu Hai Kong, right?"
"No, no, no!" Qin Shihuang shook his head and glanced at Xiang Yu, "There's still one more thing I must do, and I need your help!"
"What else is there?" Xiang Yu asked impatiently.
Qin Shihuang smiled indifferently, "I need to borrow your heads for a moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, although Qin Shihuang's face still carried a smile, a boundless killing intent emerged from his body.
At that moment, within Afang Palace, black lines appeared, and in an instant, the entire palace was engulfed in thick black mist.
Witnessing this scene, not only were the suppressed kings stunned, but even those kings who had originally sided with Qin Shihuang were left speechless.
They never expected that Qin Shihuang had plotted against all of them. It wasn't that they were too foolish; it was just that they could never have imagined that Qin Shihuang would be so insane.
He intended to use his own power to slay all the kings present...
