96: Chapter 96 Please, Master, step into the trap willingly!
The fireworks quickly extinguished, like an ephemeral flower, vanishing in haste into the darkness, just like the souls of Wang Yi and the others.
Brief, yet resplendent.
"..."
The First Emperor landed slowly on the ground, his steps steady, and stood in a neat line with Huikong and the others opposite Qin Xiaogan.
Their expressions were grave, like statues, staring motionlessly at the expressionless Qin Xiaogan.
Not a single person dared to take a deep breath; the air seemed to have solidified, as if no one was willing to be the first to offend the person before them, who was as fearsome as a demon god.
However, someone soon broke the silence.
Sword Cultivator Jianxiuzi cupped his hands in a salute and spoke respectfully toward Qin Xiaogan.
"Master, the Gate of the Dead World must never be opened. Please, desist." His voice was resonant and forceful.
Although Sword Cultivator Jianxiuzi knew that in no lifetime had his persuasion ever been effective.
Yet, he simply wanted to try, even if it were like a moth flying into a flame.
Upon hearing this, a brilliant smile gradually spread across Qin Xiaogan's face—a smile tinged with a hint of madness and a touch of coldness.
"It's been a long time since I've wanted to kill someone this much."
As soon as his voice fell.
Qin Xiaogan radiated a terrifying sense of oppression, which surged outward like a raging tide.
【Monarch's Arrival】
Soon, a massive phantom appeared behind Qin Xiaogan.
The phantom blotted out the sky, as if looking down upon the mortal world. Its form was towering, like an ancient divine mountain piercing the clouds, exuding boundless majesty.
Everyone gazed at the phantom blotting out the sky, their hearts feeling incredibly heavy, as if pressed by a thousand-pound boulder.
"Amitabha."
Huikong pressed his palms together, closed his eyes tightly, and said slowly.
"Everyone, whether this lifetime can be reversed depends on this moment." His voice was low and grave, carrying deep worry and expectation.
Immediately after, Huikong bent the waist he had not bent for hundreds of years and spoke respectfully toward the terrifying phantom in the sky.
"Please... Master, walk into the trap calmly."
Next was Sword Cultivator Jianxiuzi; he wore a solemn expression, bowed in salute as well, and said respectfully:
"Please... Master, walk into the trap calmly."
The First Emperor, standing to the side, hesitated for a moment. A complex expression flashed across his face, and with a sigh, he finally bowed as well and said respectfully:
"Please... Master, walk into the trap calmly."
No matter how arrogant the First Emperor was, he had to admit that without the Emperor, there would be no him, let alone this prosperous mortal world.
Seeing this scene, Wu Yishui's expression turned sorrowful; her beautiful face was now filled with grief and helplessness.
Then, she pinched her right hand slightly, a flash of light passed, and she vanished from where she stood.
She could not be killed by Qin Xiaogan, at least not now.
Qin Xiaogan looked down at the people below from his high vantage point, his expression as cold as frost.
He really wanted to know right now, were these people sick in the head?
Who the hell is your Master?
Afterward, Qin Xiaogan did not hesitate in the slightest.
He slowly raised his right hand; the movement seemed slow, yet it carried an irresistible decisiveness as he pointed a finger toward the ground.
At the same time, the phantom behind Qin Xiaogan also raised its massive finger and pointed down toward the ground.
【Finger of the Heavens】
In an instant, a world-destroying energy surged from the fingertip; the ground instantly cracked, and earth and stones flew everywhere.
The thousands of the First Emperor's soldiers in the Imperial Capital had no power to resist under this lethal fingertip and rapidly dissipated, just as if they had been crushed by an unstoppable wheel of fate.
"Is this... the power of the Emperor?"
The First Emperor gazed at the finger rapidly descending from the sky, his expression somewhat dazed.
Even though they had seen the Emperor's power before, every time they witnessed it, it would spark thoughts of despair, because this power was simply horrifying to the point of being outrageous.
In this world, the only person who could block this finger was likely just one...
Huikong and the First Emperor subconsciously turned their heads to look at the grave-faced Sword Cultivator Jianxiuzi.
"I can block this finger, but..."
"I will die."
