Chapter 820: Dragon Aura Backlash
Chapter 820: Dragon Aura Backlash
When it came to breaking someone's psychological defenses, Lu HaiKong's expertise wasn't particularly high. After all, he wasn't a master in this field.
Unexpectedly, Yueying excelled in such matters. After completing the trial of a top-tier general, her skills in assassination soared.
You see, the young man in her hands wasn't anyone else but Li Hui, who had plotted all this with Gao Yang.
This fellow had played He Jin like a puppet, proving he had a formidable heart. Being able to sever the dragon pulse demonstrated his exceptional abilities. Such a person should be among the top-tier figures among Outsiders.
And when such a person fell into Yueying's hands, it took no more than a dozen minutes for him to be utterly defeated.
Whether it was physical or mental harm, it was all the same.
Putting aside the fact that he didn't even flinch when his left arm was smashed, the mere sight of his unfocused eyes was enough to reveal his mental state.
Gao Yang watched as Yueying, dressed in white like a celestial maiden, dragged Li Hui, now completely unrecognizable, towards her. Gao Yang felt a chill down his spine, as if he had seen his own bleak future.
A strong intuition told Gao Yang that once Yueying got her hands on him, it would be a fate worse than death.
So, after Gao Yang averted his gaze, he lowered his eyelids and said, "I'll transfer the task to you. Give them a good time!"
As soon as Lu HaiKong agreed without hesitation, he turned away from Gao Yang and strode towards Emperor Ling.
"Yueying, it's all yours. Give them a good time," Lu HaiKong said as he approached Emperor Ling.
At this moment, Lu HaiKong had no intention of letting Yueying torture them. He had already gained what he wanted and taken his revenge. He had no interest in further tormenting them; he truly didn't want to see Yueying's brutal, bloody methods.
Lu HaiKong walked up to Emperor Ling, an arrow in his hand, and aimed it directly at Emperor Ling's head. He had wasted too much time here already, and he still had things to do. It was best to finish this quickly and move on.
However, as Lu HaiKong's arrow descended, golden scales appeared above Emperor Ling's head, blocking the arrow.
Lu HaiKong wasn't surprised. Li Hui had already been captured by Yueying. The dragon pulse of the imperial palace was now in motion, protecting Emperor Ling. It was only natural for him to have this defense, and fortunately, Lu HaiKong had knocked Emperor Ling unconscious earlier, or he would be facing more than just the dragon pulse's protection.
At this moment, Emperor Ling was in a state of unconsciousness, and although the dragon pulse was protecting him, it wasn't fully under anyone's control, so its defensive power wasn't at its peak.
Lu HaiKong activated the 'Purple Qi Rising Dragon Decision' with full force, causing the arrow in his hand to glow with a dense purple light. He then aimed and released the arrow once more.
"Lu, stop!" Zhang Rang cried out in shock, still alive despite being stabbed by Gao Yang.
But Lu HaiKong paid him no heed and released the arrow. With a 'pfft' sound, the arrow effortlessly pierced through Emperor Ling's protective dragon pulse, drilling into his forehead and completely defeating him.
A mighty emperor, reduced to such a pitiful state, dying in Lu HaiKong's hands while unconscious.
In reality, this fellow should have been a boss-level figure within the imperial palace. By controlling the dragon pulse of the Great Han Dynasty, his power was absolutely terrifying. He could easily defeat any opponent with a martial might below 100.
It was just that Emperor Ling was too unlucky, and Lu HaiKong was a bit too fortunate. Ever since a few years ago, Gao Yang had been plotting against him.
Gao Yang had been preparing step by step, and finally, on this day a few years later, with sufficient , she had successfully restrained Emperor Ling. Just as she was about to finish him off, Lu HaiKong intervened, snatching away the victory.
After taking Emperor Ling away with a single arrow, Lu HaiKong's lips curved into a smile.
As he clearly knew, the death of Emperor Ling meant the beginning of his grand harvest. Lu Hai Kong had no reason not to be delighted.
However, Lu Hai Kong's joy seemed a little premature. How easy was it to kill an emperor? Just as he pierced Emperor Ling's head, a strange transformation occurred.
As the system task stated, Emperor Ling was the ruler of the Great Han Empire, and his body carried the nation's destiny.
Despite the Great Han Empire's turbulent state, Emperor Ling's destiny had diminished significantly by this time. Still, it existed, and upon Lu Hai Kong's arrow piercing the emperor's forehead, the nation's destiny directly surged into Lu Hai Kong's body.
At this moment, the system prompt sounded again.
[Congratulations on completing the special task 'Regicide'. You have earned the opportunity to choose one item from the Divine Armory. You have obtained one-tenth of Emperor Ling's destiny!]
Lu Hai Kong never expected that the reward for regicide would be one-tenth of Emperor Ling's destiny. This immediately caused a problem for Lu Hai Kong.
Emperor Ling's destiny was indeed thin, but that was to be expected for an emperor.
After all, an emperor's destiny was the nation's destiny, and Lu Hai Kong? This guy was officially the Governor of Bingzhou and Commander of the Northern Army, but in reality, his profession had never changed. He had always been a bandit.
His current official profession was still 'Bandit King', and this directly led to a significant problem.
Destiny was indeed a good thing, but it also depended on who obtained it. When Lu Hai Kong, a Bandit King, acquired this strand of destiny, another system prompt immediately appeared.
[You have obtained the Dragon's Destiny. You have the opportunity to change professions. Do you wish to become a feudal lord?]
Note: Profession change is divided into forced and task-based changes.
Task-based profession changes require entering a special task space to complete tasks, and the time required is uncertain, so prepare for three months to half a year!
Forced profession changes do not require tasks, but the generals under your original profession and the troops may undergo significant changes, and they might even disband or retire.
Do you wish to change professions now?]
If it were just the first system prompt, Lu Hai Kong would have agreed without hesitation. However, upon seeing the postscript, where did he dare to change professions now?
Task-based profession changes required him to leave immediately for several months, and he didn't have that kind of time. Forced profession changes were even more detrimental, as the generals and troops under his original profession might disband or retire.
Seeing this, Lu Hai Kong's heart raced with anxiety. Let's not even mention the troops, but the generals, although they might not include historical figures like Dian Wei, were definitely people like Yueying, Wang Ti, Zhao Er, and Chen Yi Chen Ping.
These guys might not be historical figures, but how much weaker were they compared to historical generals?
Although Lu Hai Kong had two options, losing any one of them would be painful, let alone losing them all. Therefore, Lu Hai Kong's current choice was to temporarily put off the profession change and perform the task-based change later when he had the time.
This was not an easy choice to make.
Poor Lu Hai Kong had been played by the system. He couldn't rely on the profession change to absorb the Dragon's Destiny, so he could only figure out a way to take in this Dragon's Destiny himself.
As a Bandit King, accepting this Dragon's Destiny, the difficulty was immense, not to mention the certainty of danger.
The Dragon's Destiny was a good thing, but it wasn't so easily absorbed. Even Emperor Ling, with his status as an emperor, relied on the Imperial Seal as a vessel. Lu Hai Kong, at this moment, lacked such a vessel to contain it.
He forcefully tried to bring over the Imperial Seal, but the system prompted him that it didn't belong to him, and he couldn't use it.
In this situation, Lu Hai Kong could only rely on himself to digest one-tenth of Emperor Ling's Dragon's Destiny.
But how could Lu Hai Kong digest it? As a bandit, he was somewhat incompatible with the Dragon's Destiny, and his body suffered considerable harm from it.
Within a short moment, Lu Hai Kong felt as if every inch of his skin was being cut by a knife, the pain unbearable.
Although he was absorbing it, the process was excruciatingly slow, and at this rate, Lu Hai Kong estimated that he might die from the pain before fully absorbing the Dragon's Destiny.
Just as Lu Hai Kong was at a loss, the Dragon's Destiny suddenly collided with his inner power, and an interesting reaction occurred...
