88: Chapter 88 Save the world?
【Congratulations to the Host, completion of the 1407th death.】
【Attribute points +100.】
Smoke filled the air...
Empress Butterfly and Emperor Jiang were panting heavily, their chests heaving violently, sweat beads the size of peas sliding down their cheeks, yet they kept their eyes fixed on Qin Xiaogan's corpse.
Empress Butterfly spoke first, incredulous: "The... the Demon Emperor, is dead?"
Her voice trembled, filled with disbelief.
Emperor Jiang narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with vigilance and suspicion.
Then, a powerful surge of energy emerged from his right hand.
That energy glowed brilliantly, like a star about to explode.
Immediately after, he blasted it directly at Qin Xiaogan's corpse.
"Boom!"
A loud noise erupted, smoke and dust billowed up, and the powerful shockwave caused the ground to instantly cave in, forming a huge crater.
When the smoke cleared, Qin Xiaogan's mangled corpse was still lying there, without the slightest movement.
Emperor Jiang let out a long sigh of relief, his tense nerves relaxing slightly.
However, just at that moment, the previously silent corpse of Qin Xiaogan suddenly emitted a strange aura, and a black light slowly rose from his body.
Emperor Jiang and Empress Butterfly's complexions changed drastically, a sense of foreboding filling their hearts.
Before they could react, Qin Xiaogan's corpse actually began to float slowly.
His tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open, flashing with a chilling light.
"Twice, just right."
After speaking, Qin Xiaogan grabbed out with his right hand, the movement as fast as lightning, stirring up a sharp gust of wind.
Emperor Jiang was instantly snatched into Qin Xiaogan's grasp, as if he were a weak ant.
"Hmm?"
Qin Xiaogan looked at the composed Emperor Jiang, feeling rather surprised.
Empress Butterfly, watching this from the side, turned pale.
Qin Xiaogan squeezed Emperor Jiang's throat and said indifferently, "I don't like that expression on you."
After speaking, a terrifying energy suddenly gathered in Qin Xiaogan's hand, surging madly like a roaring beast in the darkness.
Then, Qin Xiaogan casually blasted it towards the center of the Imperial Capital.
Instantly, the energy exploded violently in the Imperial Capital, the roaring sound like the tolling of a doomsday bell.
A blinding light bloomed instantly, followed by rolling heat waves sweeping out like a tsunami; wherever it passed, everything turned to ash.
Countless civilians and members of the Four Kings Pavilion turned to ash within it.
They didn't even have time to let out a final cry before their lives were extinguished in this sudden explosion.
"You beast!!!"
Emperor Jiang let out a low roar from his throat, filled with endless anger and grief.
His eyes were wide open, bloodshot, the veins on his forehead bulging, his whole person like an enraged lion.
Qin Xiaogan looked at Emperor Jiang's expression and revealed a bright smile.
Just then, Emperor Jiang suddenly closed his eyes, his facial muscles twitching slightly, and he spoke slowly in a voice as hoarse as an old bellows being pulled.
"If demons rule, then I shall use my body as a piece, to prop up the crumbling building, and save the heavens from tilting."
Immediately after, Emperor Jiang roared hoarsely: "Little Butterfly, save the heavens!!!"
After saying this, Emperor Jiang's whole body radiated a soft golden light, the glow like the warm dawn, gentle yet firm.
【Destiny's Gift】
Suddenly, Emperor Jiang began to disappear slowly in Qin Xiaogan's hand; his body became like an illusory shadow, becoming blurry bit by bit.
Just like a handful of sand, it slipped silently through his fingers, impossible to block, impossible to retain.
Empress Butterfly saw this, her pupils shrinking sharply, her face stunned.
"Uncle... Uncle Jiang!?"
Qin Xiaogan raised an eyebrow, watching all this with interest.
It really is touching, but...
Following that, Qin Xiaogan arrived in front of Empress Butterfly like a ghost, his speed so fast that it made one's eyes blur.
"Crack!"
A crisp sound like shattering glass rang out; Empress Butterfly hadn't even had time to react.
In an instant, she had been cleanly sliced in two by Qin Xiaogan.
Blood splattered out immediately, like beautiful flowers blooming wantonly, quickly staining the surrounding ground red.
Tears welled up in the corners of Empress Butterfly's eyes as she collapsed heavily to the ground.
Her eyes were fixed on one direction, filled with confusion.
At this moment, Qin Xiaogan slowly put away his kitchen knife and stared at the Ancestral Land gate in front of him.
【Name: Gate of Exile】
【Origin: Man-made.】
【Effect: Teleports into spatial turbulence, infinite exile.】
"Emperor Yan, good trick."
Using human lives to make me believe this gate is your hiding place.
What a pity.
So close.
"This sword was made for me by Uncle Jiang when I was five years old."
"Back then, when I held it, I felt I would be the best in the world."
"Everyone laughed at me, a mere woman, how could I sit on the throne of the best in the world."
"Later, I also felt I was quite silly."
"What use could a broken fire poker have?"
"But today I finally understand."
"That was Uncle Jiang's gift of destiny to me."
"Holding it, I am the best in the world."
"Ascend the throne!!!"
An extremely powerful aura erupted from Empress Butterfly's corpse, that aura like a surging giant wave, and like a violent hurricane, instantly sweeping across the entire Imperial Capital.
Qin Xiaogan was stunned, a look of pleasant surprise flashing in his eyes, and he blurted out.
"There's such a thing?"
Soon, Empress Butterfly appeared unscathed in front of Qin Xiaogan.
Her figure was graceful, yet she exuded a chilling aura, her exquisite beautiful eyes now filled with rich murderous intent.
Empress Butterfly gripped the rusted longsword tightly in her hand, raised it high, pointed it straight at Qin Xiaogan, and said sternly.
"Demon Emperor, the one who will behead you, the rebellious daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Caidie."
Qin Xiaogan heard this, a dark light flashing in his eyes.
