Douluo: Reborn as a White Tiger, Sacrificing Zhu Zhuqing at the Start Chapter 159 159: Dread Knight? Spider Slaughter!

One hundred and one black-armored cavalry soldiers lined up in formation ahead.

But Zhu Zhuqing's gaze was instantly drawn to the black city behind them.

Above the city, less than a thousand ters in the sky, hung a bizarre purple moon, emitting a faint and chilling glow.

Aside from that, the entire sky was pitch-black.

"I am the Dread Knight Scott. You have violated the rules of Slaughter City and must accept punishnt!"

The knight at the front, mounted on a warhorse, spoke in a stern voice.

"There are actually rules and punishnts here."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Scott, her tone tinged with curiosity.

"Tell , what is the punishnt?"

"Only by defeating can you enter Slaughter City!"

Scott raised his lance, his tone turning cold. "Otherwise, you die here!"

"In a land of slaughter, just defeating you is enough?"

Zhu Zhuqing calmly swept her gaze across all the black-armored knights before her and said indifferently,

"With such a grand formation, I thought you wanted to kill all of you."

For so reason, hearing those words and eting the girl's gaze, all the knights felt their hearts tighten inexplicably.

Scott, the leader, felt his heart pound even more violently.

'She's just a girl. Why do I feel… afraid?'

But after that thought flashed through his mind, a surge of ferocity replaced it.

'What a joke. Just a little girl. How strong could she be?'

"You arrogant brat, die!"

Scott's warhorse suddenly accelerated, carrying sharp killing intent as he charged straight at Zhu Zhuqing.

What puzzled him was that the girl in front of him neither dodged nor evaded, simply standing there quietly, watching him.

As if she had been scared silly.

'Just bluffing. Little brat, die!'

He roared inwardly as soul power gathered into his lance, thrusting it forward in a fierce piercing strike.

"White Tiger God Killing Claw!"

A calm murmur sounded.

Without even summoning her martial soul, the girl raised her right hand. Five golden-glinting claws suddenly extended.

Terrifying killing intent erupted imdiately after.

Even the attacking Dread Knight felt his mind go blank.

In the next instant, a sharp tearing sound rang out.

"Whoosh!"

A blood-gold claw tore through the air, slashing toward the thrusting lance with unstoppable force.

"Bang—Crack!"

In just a single exchange, the heavy lance forged from black iron shattered instantly.

Imdiately after, the charging warhorse collided head-on with the remaining force of the White Tiger God Killing Claw.

Rip—!

Blood burst forth, liquid splattering.

Amid the tearing sound, a massive horse head was severed and sent flying.

"What?!"

Scott didn't even have ti to mourn his mount before seeing the claw already coming at him.

He was not weak; the situation was simply far too sudden.

His mind froze completely.

In a daze, he seed to hear sothing.

"Die."

It sounded like the girl's whisper.

"Bang!"

Scott felt no pain, only that he had been sent flying into the air.

As his vision nearly flipped upside down, he saw a headless knight and his headless warhorse crashing heavily to the ground.

At that mont, realization dawned upon him—

He was already dead.

In the next instant, his consciousness fell into silence.

Then suddenly, everything beca clear.

He felt himself rise, flying toward the girl in the form of a soul.

"Th-this… what is happening?"

Before he could question it, he was sent into a blood-colored space.

Before he could observe it, he was instantly torn apart by the eagerly waiting "family" inside, devoured in a single feast.

A knight's greatness needs no words!

But at the scene, there was dead silence.

The black-armored knights who had been watching were all stunned in place.

Behind their helts, their eyes held nothing but shock.

Their captain was a mber of the enforcent squad, a powerful Soul Saint!

And yet he had been killed in a single move?

"Is this all?"

Zhu Zhuqing glanced coldly at the fallen Dread Knight.

She had thought he would be quite formidable, soone capable of giving her a harsh lesson.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't even withstand a single strike.

By the way, what did he say his na was?

Forget it. The dead are like extinguished lamps. Let him rest in peace.

The undead spirits will rember his contribution.

"So, this is the punishnt you intend to give ?"

Zhu Zhuqing raised her head and looked at the hundred black-armored knights before her, asking slowly.

"..."

The black-armored knights remained silent, many of them even lowering their heads.

Just as they reached a silent agreent and were about to step aside to open a path, the girl's voice suddenly rang out—

"In this world, there is only one kind of person who does not speak."

"That kind of person is called the dead."

Zhu Zhuqing's calm voice was as cold as the depths of hell.

"Since you won't speak, then go die!"

"What?!"

The black-armored knights suddenly raised their heads, staring at the seemingly delicate girl in shock.

They never expected such words to co from her mouth.

Yet upon hearing this, the first feeling in their hearts was not fear.

But—

"Pfft!"

One of the knights burst out laughing.

"The Slaughter City is a place where abilities are suppressed. You can't even use soul rings here. How do you plan to kill all of us?"

The girl was strong, but what did strength matter?

Having just entered the Slaughter City without the Slaughter King's recognition, she couldn't use soul rings. Even if she were a Titled Douluo, there was no way she could kill all of them!

Not to ntion, even slaughtering a hundred pigs would take ti!

"With… this."

Zhu Zhuqing raised her eyes calmly, her gaze suddenly sharpening.

In an instant, dozens of tis normal gravity descended violently, pressing down on them like a city wall.

"Ugh!"

"Bang—!"

Accompanied by heavy, pained breathing, many black-armored knights were forced to their knees.

"Soul Devouring Spider Slaughter Formation!"

The girl spread her hand, and countless spider threads appeared out of thin air, weaving into a net.

Ignoring differences in strength, it instantly enveloped all the black-armored knights.

"Th-this… what is this?!"

"A soul skill? How can you use a soul skill in the Slaughter City?!"

"No, this is the power of a soul bone!"

"Damn it! I can't move at all?!"

The previously silent black-armored knights could no longer remain silent or maintain their composure.

None of them had expected her killing intent to be this heavy, her decisiveness this ruthless.

Nor had anyone expected that this seemingly ordinary girl possessed such a powerful soul bone!

By the ti they reacted, their bodies were already tightly bound by soul-devouring spider threads.

Unable to move!

"You have the right to remain silent, and the right to remain silent forever."

Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward, calmly walking toward the city gate.

Her slender hand suddenly clenched.

"Spider Kill!"

As her voice fell, all the threads binding the knights tightened abruptly.

Only at this mont did the black-armored knights realize—

Before those razor-sharp threads, their black iron armor was utterly fragile.

Rip—!

Amid the harsh slicing sound, armor shattered, bodies and souls destroyed.

The black-armored knight legion was completely annihilated by the Soul Devouring Spider Slaughter Formation!

"Is this punishnt? No. This is a reward."

Zhu Zhuqing did not look back at the tragic scene behind her, only silently activating the power of her soul bone.

"Soul Devouring Evolution!"

Green ghostly light surged, instantly spreading across the entire battlefield.

Soul fragnts, soul power, blood energy…

All forms of energy turned into specks of light, rushing toward the girl.

Competing, willingly being absorbed by the soul bone, becoming part of her strength.

However, the mont that energy entered, it was abruptly intercepted by another force!
