45: Chapter 45 The Grand Show Begins

The First Prince looked around at everyone present and said, "I originally thought you captured the children of the various marquises to pit wolves against tigers and make them kill each other."

"But you suddenly revealed your identity, which puzzles me."

The First Prince stared intently at Qin Xiaogan, as if demanding an answer.

Qin Xiaogan stretched lazily. "Ignorant."

Upon hearing this, the First Prince's expression darkened, his eyes revealing a hint of displeasure and authority.

Lv Chang scolded, "Presumptuous! Qin Xiaogan, how dare you be so rude to the First Prince!"

"Presumptuous? Hmph, I think it is you, Zhong Wenyun, who is truly presumptuous!"

A cold, clear female voice suddenly exploded in everyone's ears like a thunderclap.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Wenyun couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

He then quickly cast his gaze in the direction the voice came from.

A stunningly beautiful yet icy woman walked over slowly. Her figure was graceful, and her cyan battle skirt fluttered in the wind, like a blooming blue lotus.

Her eyes shone with a sharp light, and her tightly pursed lips revealed her current dissatisfaction.

Young Master Li Qingfeng looked completely shocked and blurted out, "Wu Yishui?! It's actually you!"

Zhong Wenyun's gaze instantly became incomparably sharp, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "I wondered who it was; so it's the fugitive from the Imperial Capital."

Wu Yishui walked lightly to Qin Xiaogan's side, then slowly placed her right hand on her chest and bowed slightly.

She said solemnly, "This subordinate acted without authorization to come and rescue you; please punish me, Emperor Qin."

Qin Xiaogan's expression remained unchanged, like a lake without a single ripple. "You came too early."

A flash of imperceptible surprise quickly crossed the depths of Wu Yishui's eyes. "Emperor... Emperor Qin, did you already know I would come?"

Qin Xiaogan did not answer Wu Yishui.

Of course, he knew Wu Yishui would come.

If Wu Yishui hadn't reached S-rank, perhaps she wouldn't have come, but once she reached S-rank, given her personality, she was bound to come.

However, Qin Xiaogan truly hadn't expected Wu Yishui to arrive so quickly.

Still, it didn't have much of an impact.

After all, since Wu Yishui had come, Huo Wushuang would follow, and with Huo Wushuang here, the Marquis of Champions wouldn't be far away.

A strange light flashed in Qin Xiaogan's eyes.

Lv Chang and Zhong Wenyun exchanged glances and both nodded slightly.

Immediately after, Lv Chang's expression became extremely ferocious, and he roared, "You bold madman! To dare call yourself Emperor, this is treason! Die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lv Chang suddenly swung his large hand forcefully.

In an instant, a thick black smoke, like a fierce black dragon, rushed aggressively and rapidly toward Qin Xiaogan.

Seeing this, Wu Yishui's expression changed abruptly, and she instantly became nervous.

Subconsciously, she prepared to step forward to block in front of Qin Xiaogan.

Just then, Qin Xiaogan coldly shouted, "Get out of the way!"

After saying this, a faint smile slowly curled onto the corners of Qin Xiaogan's mouth.

He just stared blankly at the surging black smoke.

Both Feng Tao and Wu Yishui showed expressions of unbearable pity.

The black smoke fiercely slammed into Qin Xiaogan's body, immediately emitting a "hissing" sound that made one's scalp tingle.

Immediately after, Qin Xiaogan's body rapidly turned ink-black at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Pop!" Everyone heard that crisp sound.

The next moment, Qin Xiaogan dissipated like smoke in the blink of an eye.

[Congratulations to the host for completing 199 deaths]

[Promotion points 80%]

Wu Yishui's face was filled with disbelief; her eyes were wide open as she stared blankly at everything happening before her.

Zhong Wenyun curled his lips into a cold smile and said coldly, "Lord Wen is whom I personally invited to deal with you."

"Immortal? It's just that your recovery speed is a bit faster."

Seeing this scene, Marquis Wuan, who was standing to the side, had a solemn expression and let out a long sigh.

Back in the day, because villains plotted in the dark and used his daughter to threaten him, they forced him to withdraw from the Qin Family.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up with a reputation for being treacherous.

And he wouldn't have let the Qin Family suffer such heavy losses because of it.

Zhong Wenyun bared his teeth in a slight smile toward Team Leader Xie Miao. "Marquis Wuan, you made a wise decision."

Upon hearing this, Team Leader Xie Miao's expression shifted slightly, and he cupped his hands in a salute. "Your Highness, you flatter me; I have done nothing."

Zhong Wenyun couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. "Sigh, what a pity; I originally thought I could add another marquis's head to my collection."

Marquis Wuan's pupils constricted sharply, and his body seemed to freeze for an instant.

Subsequently, wisps of steam actually began to emanate from his entire body.

A black light flashed in Lv Chang's eyes. "Brother Xie, no need to be so nervous. As long as you are wholeheartedly with His Highness, both you and your daughter will be fine."

"What are you afraid of?"

Marquis Wuan looked suspicious and shocked, raising his hand to point straight ahead.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly turned their heads to look in the direction he was pointing.

They saw Qin Xiaogan suddenly appear beside Wu Yishui, completely unscathed and safe.

Wu Yishui was also filled with both surprise and joy, excitedly shouting, "Emperor Qin! You didn't die?!"

Qin Xiaogan frowned slightly. "What, do you really want me to die?"

Wu Yishui hurriedly put on a smiling face and hastened to explain, "How could that be..."

Zhong Wenyun looked gloomy. "It seems I underestimated you."

Qin Xiaogan's gaze suddenly focused, and a sharp light seemed to flash in his eyes.

[Name: Zhong Wenyun]

[Strength: 5000]

[Speed: 6000]

[Defense: 6000]

[Spirit: 1200 (Curse)]

[Rank: S]

[Potential: SS (Curse)]

[Abilities: (B) Eye of the Undead, (SS) Flame Dragon, (SS) Disciple of the Flame God, (????) Emperor's Curse]

Eye of the Undead?

Could it just be a name conflict?

Also, why are this First Prince's abilities so strange?

Wang Yi's voice, like an ethereal sound, slowly and clearly rang in Qin Xiaogan's mind.

"Emperor Qin, the mission is complete."

Qin Xiaogan slowly raised his eyes, which seemed to contain endless meaning, and quietly looked at the people before him, each with different expressions.

"Everyone, this grand show is finally beginning."

Qin Xiaogan suddenly turned his gaze toward Zhong Wenyun, with a playful expression on his face.

He said slowly, "As for the question in your heart, it wouldn't hurt to tell you."

Lv Chang's face was full of disdain, and he sneered, "Hmph, playing god and acting like a ghost. Qin Xiaogan, I advise you to end it yourself, to avoid the suffering of being cut into a thousand pieces."

Zhong Wenyun rubbed his temples and smiled. "I'll only give you one minute."

Qin Xiaogan looked them both up and down with a gaze as if he were watching a clown performance.

"I didn't expect that the ones drawn out this time would actually be two idiots."
