85: Chapter 85 The Six Emperors Destroyed, Ancestral Land in Peril! (4)
Qin Xiaogan quietly gazed at the empty area outside the city, a look of slight surprise appearing on his face.
Immediately after, he stared at the recovery item he had just obtained from Li Hua, a dark light flashing in his eyes.
【Name: Invisible Thorn】
【Source: Demon beast from the Bear Country, tail of the Returning Hidden Snake.】
【Skill ① — Echo: Continuously emits a unique signal, affecting the minds of those around to achieve an invisibility effect, until the user dies】
【Skill ② — Hidden Thorn: During the Echo, attacks on targets will cause a paralyzing effect】
Qin Xiaogan snorted coldly and muttered to himself.
"The user dies, the signal is cut off?"

Imperial Capital, Imperial City.
Emperor Jiang held a pot of fine wine in his hand, his gaze deep as he stared at Qin Pan before him.
Subsequently, he took a light sip of the wine; the mellow fragrance spread in his mouth but failed to dispel the worry in his heart.
"King of Equality, I truly did not expect that your Equality Space could last for so long."
Opposite him, Qin Pan still kept her face cold. Her delicate features seemed covered in a layer of frost, and she stared straight ahead with an expressionless face.
Her eyes were hollow and indifferent, making it difficult for others to grasp her inner thoughts.
Emperor Jiang felt rebuffed, curled his lips helplessly, and did not say anything else to Qin Pan.
He picked up the wine in his hand, tilted his head back, and drank deeply. The wine flowed down the corners of his mouth, soaking his clothes.
"Yo, yo, old man, still in the mood to drink?"
Xie Xiyun's voice, filled with allure yet tinged with a hint of mockery, drifted over.
Emperor Jiang slightly raised his drunken eyes, looked in the direction the voice came from, and snorted coldly.
"Hmph, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Xie Xiyun giggled, her laughter as crisp as silver bells, yet it carried traces of chill.
"Old man, Great Zhou is about to fall, yet you're still acting so tough."
As she spoke, she swayed her slender waist and walked slowly closer.
Emperor Jiang gripped the wine pot tightly and said indifferently: "As long as we are here, Great Zhou will not fall."
The smile on Xie Xiyun's face vanished instantly, replaced by a flushed red.
"You ignorant old man, I really want to taste your pain."
Before her words had even faded.
A black mist radiated from her body, rushing towards Emperor Jiang.
Emperor Jiang's expression did not change; he slightly raised his right hand.
【Flow of Destiny】
A dazzling golden wave shot out rapidly from his hand. The light was extremely brilliant, as if it could illuminate the entire space.
Xie Xiyun's expression changed abruptly. She wanted to dodge but it was already too late, and she was instantly struck by this powerful wave.
Suddenly, wisps of green smoke began to rise from Xie Xiyun's body. The smoke curled upwards, as if it were about to devour her whole.
"Ah~ how painful."
After speaking.
A black light flashed in Xie Xiyun's eyes, like two black lightning bolts streaking across, and then a dark red thin sword appeared out of thin air in her hand.
Immediately, Xie Xiyun lightly stomped her right foot; the seemingly light movement stirred up a violent gale.
The gale whistled past, instantly blowing up her thin veil, and the faintly discernible glimpses of her charms made one's heart flutter uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Emperor Jiang frowned tightly.
Xie Xiyun held the thin sword, her figure as illusory and ethereal as a ghost, appearing above Emperor Jiang's head in the blink of an eye.
She raised the thin sword high with both hands, the red light on the blade becoming increasingly dazzling, and stabbed fiercely towards Emperor Jiang.
Emperor Jiang, however, was calm and unhurried.
His gaze was steady, and with a soft shout, a layer of golden light instantly radiated from his body, forming a solid shield.
Xie Xiyun's sword stabbed into the shield, emitting a sharp clashing sound as sparks flew everywhere.
However, she did not give up. Instead, she increased her strength, and the air around the blade twisted and deformed due to the powerful pressure.
Emperor Jiang pursed his lips slightly, his hands forming seals rapidly, and a powerful force surged from his hands.
Just before Emperor Jiang could unleash that strike.
An ancient and illusory phantom of a scale appeared beside him without any warning.
【Judgment of Equilibrium】
【Judging...】
【Judgment Successful】
Suddenly, Emperor Jiang's strength rapidly vanished like a receding tide.
In the blink of an eye, he seemed to have become an ordinary person with no strength to truss a chicken, his originally powerful aura completely gone.
It was at this moment that Xie Xiyun's thin sword successfully pierced into Emperor Jiang's skull.
In that instant, time seemed to freeze, and everything became silent.
However, a bone-chilling cold smile hung on Emperor Jiang's face.
There was not a shred of pain or fear in that smile; instead, it revealed an unfathomable meaning.
Seeing this, Xie Xiyun's heart tightened, and a strong sense of unease instantly surged into her mind.
She hurriedly looked towards Qin Pan.
She saw a beautiful young woman suddenly appear beside Qin Pan, her rounded buttocks and slender waist forming alluring curves.
She was wearing a gorgeous, form-fitting long dress, and the hem of the skirt fluttered in the wind, adding a touch of charm.
"Little girl, you are truly hard to kill."
Just as the words fell.
With her hands as delicate as jade, she moved at a staggering speed, instantly attempting to pierce through Qin Pan's heart.
At this critical moment.
"Woof!"
A huge black dog carrying a surging tide of painful aura rushed madly towards the young woman like a bolt of black lightning.
The young woman's brows instantly furrowed, a flash of determination appearing on her beautiful face.
She gritted her teeth, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes; even if she had to take the hit head-on, she would kill Qin Pan at all costs.
"Splurt!"
The big black dog's sharp teeth bit fiercely into the young woman's shoulder, blood splattering everywhere and staining the young woman's clothes red.
"Puff!"
The young woman's all-out strike simultaneously pierced through Qin Pan's chest, bringing out a large spray of crimson blood.
The blood gushed out like a fountain, splashing onto the surrounding ground and forming shocking patches of blood flowers.
Seeing this scene, Xie Xiyun narrowed her eyes.
She gripped her thin sword tightly, and just as she was about to slash towards the young woman, a withered hand unexpectedly pierced directly through her fragile throat.
Emperor Jiang had actually come back from the dead and ambushed Xie Xiyun.
At the same time, Xie Xiyun's complexion became even more flushed, and the black energy on her body grew even thicker.
Seeing this, Emperor Jiang frowned tightly.
How the hell is she not dead?
【Shackles of Destiny】
A phantom of golden chains emerged out of thin air, tightly locking Xie Xiyun within them.
Xie Xiyun tried to break free, but the chains tightened further, as if they were about to bind her soul as well.
Emperor Jiang looked at Xie Xiyun and said coldly: "Do you think you can escape the shackles of destiny?"
Xie Xiyun's face was flushed, her red lips pressed tightly together, and she said not a word.
【Painful Pleasure】
