87: Chapter 87 The Building Is About to Collapse
If one ignored the Shura scene behind them, one might mistake them for two ordinary youths bickering over some petty personal desires.
But the blood mist permeating the surroundings, like a demon's breath, was filled with the scent of death.
The ground was strewn with mangled corpses; some had been disemboweled, their entrails spilling everywhere, while others had their limbs severed, leaving only torsos behind.
Meanwhile, members of the Four Kings Pavilion were still killing madly.
Their eyes were filled with madness and bloodlust, their weapons swinging incessantly, each rise and fall bringing forth a spray of blood.
The screams of civilians rose and fell, one after another, incessantly.
"Ah! Heaven intends to destroy my Great Zhou!"
A shrill, miserable scream rang through the skies, as if to tear the firmament apart.
"The Tianshan flood hasn't occurred for a century, so why now of all times..."
"Natural disasters and man-made calamities; this is Great Zhou's destined tribulation."
An investigator, covered in mud, gazed at the rolling floodwaters with hollow eyes, his body trembling uncontrollably.
The civilians and investigators who had just escaped Linan City felt only dead silence in their hearts as they stared at the monstrous flood before them.
The flood resembled a violent, colossal dragon, charging forward with bared fangs and brandished claws, leaving devastation in its wake.
Great Zhou, Kun City.
Atop a beacon tower that pierced the clouds, a woman with a cold expression was quietly overlooking the entire Kun City.
Her brows furrowed slightly, as if pondering something, then slowly relaxed.
Her expression was calm yet resolute as she spoke indifferently.
"The Sky Curtain Plan, officially begins."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Members of the Four Kings Pavilion scattered throughout every corner of Great Zhou did not hesitate to take up their weapons and began wantonly slaughtering the defenseless people of Great Zhou.
Meanwhile, Qin Xiaogan, who was on his way to the imperial capital, suddenly froze, as if gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
A faint gleam flashed in his eyes, piercing through the vast distance to observe the miserable state of the various cities in Great Zhou.
Subsequently, the corners of Qin Xiaogan's mouth curled up slightly.
The Sky Curtain Plan: slaughter Great Zhou and harvest souls.
Since a million souls were not enough to make the truth kneel before him.
Then what about ten million, or even a hundred million?
He had many questions.
The Qin Family was inexplicably wiped out.
The disappearance of the Time King and King Yongye.
His sudden arrival in the past.
Before the Qin Family was wiped out, a masked man suspected to be himself appeared.
He himself had appeared at the gates of the Qin Family, yet the Qin Family could still be wiped out?
What a joke.
Just as Qin Xiaogan was lost in thought.
A soul thread in his mind, resembling the deep blue of the ocean, suddenly began to tremble violently without any warning.
Qin Xiaogan's sword-sharp brows instantly furrowed, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Damn it! It must be the Four Kings Pavilion slaughtering civilians!"
Emperor Jiang cursed hatefully, exhaling a rough breath through his nostrils.
Upon hearing this, Empress Butterfly's expression turned so dark it seemed as if water could drip from it, her entire body radiating a chilling pressure.
"Uncle Jiang, I will guard the ancestral grounds; you hurry and save the people!"
Emperor Jiang nodded, then immediately expanded his figure, preparing to dash out of the imperial city.
However, just at this moment.
A tall figure with white hair and black eyes appeared abruptly, blocking Emperor Jiang's path.
"Saving people?"
Emperor Jiang and Empress Butterfly gazed at the person before them.
Their hearts couldn't help but skip a beat.
"The Demon Emperor!?"
Emperor Jiang pointed at Qin Xiaogan, his whole body trembling: "You... how can you still be alive!"
Hearing this, Qin Xiaogan couldn't help but chuckle.
Immediately, Qin Xiaogan's right fingertip moved slightly.
Suddenly, a faint blue light flew out from behind Emperor Jiang and Empress Butterfly; the light flickered in and out of existence, exuding a hint of eeriness.
Empress Butterfly said in shock: "This is that crazy woman's remnant soul!"
Qin Xiaogan grasped Xie Xiyun's remnant soul and said indifferently: "Well done."
His tone was as calm as water, yet it made people feel an invisible pressure.
At this moment, a faint light flashed at Qin Xiaogan's waist.
Xie Xiyun's remnant soul was pulled by a powerful suction force and instantly flew into the hell kitchen knife.
At this moment, the surrounding atmosphere became increasingly heavy, and Emperor Jiang and Empress Butterfly dared not even breathe loudly.
The Six Emperors, a full six Emperors could not kill him!?
Just how strong is this person?
Emperor Jiang asked Qin Xiaogan with a grave expression.
"Demon Emperor, they..."
Qin Xiaogan grinned and said: "Dead."
Emperor Jiang and Empress Butterfly's breathing hitched, and the color instantly drained from their faces.
Even though they had already guessed this outcome, hearing it from Qin Xiaogan himself still made their hearts tremble, as if a chill surged from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads.
For a moment, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence, with only the sound of a gentle breeze blowing past.
Emperor Jiang sighed deeply, his heavy breath seeming to carry endless sorrow.
"It is all fate's arrangement."
His voice was low and hoarse, revealing a deep sense of powerlessness.
"But... how unfair is fate!"
Emperor Jiang's eyes had already turned red, the bloodshot veins in his eye sockets clearly visible.
He clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging on the backs of his hands.
【Torrent of Fate】
Just at this moment, an extremely brilliant golden light suddenly shone from Emperor Jiang's body, the radiance dazzling and instantly enveloping his entire being.
Immediately, Emperor Jiang's figure was like lightning, carrying endless rage as he ruthlessly bombarded Qin Xiaogan.
Qin Xiaogan watched Emperor Jiang charging toward him, his face full of amusement.
Soon, Emperor Jiang, carrying monstrous golden light, pierced through Qin Xiaogan's smiling face like a bolt of lightning.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the golden light exploded on Qin Xiaogan's body, the powerful impact turning into waves of wind that raged wildly in all directions.
【Congratulations to the Host, completed the 1406th death】
【Attribute Points + 100】
Empress Butterfly was pushed back repeatedly by the impact of this powerful force, her face deathly pale.
"What are you dazing off for?"
Emperor Jiang first roared at Empress Butterfly.
Subsequently, he stared intently at Qin Xiaogan, whose body was broken and mangled at the center of the shockwave.
Immediately after, he raised both hands.
【Baptism of Fate】
The sky was suddenly shrouded by a layer of golden light curtain.
The light curtain was brilliant and dazzling, like a golden sun descending into the human world, radiating endless pressure.
As Emperor Jiang lowered his hands, the power within the light curtain began to converge, transforming into beams of golden light that poured down upon Qin Xiaogan like a torrential rain.
Each beam of light contained powerful energy, and wherever it passed, space was torn into tiny fissures.
Qin Xiaogan gazed at the brilliant light, a smile actually curling on his face.
"It is much more beautiful than the sunset in my hometown." He whispered.
After saying this.
Qin Xiaogan waved his right hand violently, and a black shadow flashed by as the hell kitchen knife instantly appeared in his palm.
The kitchen knife emitted a sinister aura, as if it could devour all light.
Immediately, he gripped the kitchen knife and slashed violently toward the golden meteors in the sky.
His movement was as swift as thunder, stirring up a gale.
In an instant, black blade energy surged forth, colliding with the golden meteors and producing a deafening roar.
Just as Qin Xiaogan had slashed out that incomparably sharp blade light.
Empress Butterfly had appeared quietly behind Qin Xiaogan, as silent as a ghost.
【Butterfly Dance Kill】
Hearing Empress Butterfly give a low shout, a storm composed of gorgeous colorful butterflies suddenly formed, rushing toward Qin Xiaogan with the force of an overturning mountain and a draining sea.
Those colorful butterflies flapped their wings, their wings flickering with strange light, and wherever the storm passed, space was stirred and distorted.
Qin Xiaogan seemed not to have noticed the crisis behind him.
Or rather, he did not care.
