104: Killer God Bai Qi! This wave of monster grabbing is a heart-breaking plan!

That understated “thank you gift” was like an invisible slap.

It spanned the vast territory of the entire First Sequence Battlefield, accurately landing on the face of Great Qin · First Emperor.

The ten-second silence in the world channel was more jarring than any vicious curse.

Xianyang Plain.

On the Xuan-iron throne, symbolizing supreme authority, the smile on First Emperor’s face completely froze.

The wine cup in his hand, carved from millennium-old cold jade, silently developed spiderweb-like cracks.

Outside, however, a monstrous wave had already been stirred up.

White Whore in the Waves: “I declare that from today onwards, Heaven's Choice is my adoptive father! This move is so damn cool!”

One Punch, One Sobbing Monster: “One hit, a million points… I grind day and night and don’t even get a fraction of that. Is this the difference between a god and a human?”

Holy Hall · Caesar: “…”

Abyss · Morgana: “Hehe, an interesting man. Much cuter than that emperor who only knows how to give orders with a stern face.”

The whole world was discussing, marveling.

The Celestial Court · Heaven's Choice ID, like a black sun, suppressed the radiance of everyone, including the arrogant Great Qin Empire.

Pressure, like a tide, surged towards Xianyang Plain.

Everyone wanted to see how this First Emperor, who had just used the Edict of the Son of Heaven to awe the world, would respond to this resounding slap.

Would it be fury, a declaration of war, or… silence?

A few minutes later, just as everyone's curiosity was piqued to its maximum, a golden world announcement once again reigned over the land.

Great Qin · First Emperor: “Celestial Court · Heaven's Choice’s strength is exceptional, astonishing everyone, and We are very pleased. The Hunting Ceremony is a stage built for the world’s strong, and to have such an opponent is truly fortunate. However, the hunt is not yet over, and the ultimate champion is still undecided. We look forward to the final result.”

His words were impeccable.

He acknowledged the opponent's strength, displayed his imperial demeanor, and left the suspense until the end.

On the world channel, a batch of “Qin fans” immediately emerged.

“Your Majesty is wise! This is the true magnanimity of a king!”

“That’s right, the competition has just begun, it’s too early to be happy now! Our Great Qin has many strong individuals and will surely overtake them!”

However, behind this grand “decorum,” the atmosphere in the Great Qin Empire’s guild channel was so oppressive it felt like water could be wrung out of it.

First Emperor: “Useless!”

Only one word.

Yet, it sent a chill to the bone of all the top lords in the channel, including Bai Qi, the General and Li Si.

They could clearly “see” the man on the throne, his eyes burning with a rage capable of incinerating everything.

The cracked cold jade wine cup finally crumbled into dust in his hand.

“Who can tell Us what happened?”

First Emperor’s voice was calm, but the calmer it was, the more it terrified these proud SSS-rank lords.

“A newly established guild, made up of a bunch of rabble!”

“One lord!”

“One strike!”

“And he trampled all of you under his feet!”

“Our Hunting Ceremony, the stage We personally set, the prize We personally promised, in the end, became a stepping stone for his Heaven's Choice to gain fame!”

“Is this how you repay Our trust?!”

The channel was utterly silent.

After a long while, Li Si, as the Prime Minister, steeled himself and cautiously spoke.

Li Si: “Your Majesty, please calm your anger. This matter… is not a fault of war.”

First Emperor: “Oh? Tell Us.”

Li Si: “Your Majesty, those five Giant Strength Golems and the sub-legendary BOSS are extremely high in score value, hundreds of times that of ordinary monsters. Moreover, they are tough-skinned and mostly immune to instant death and control effects. Our conventional arrow towers and spells require prolonged focused fire to kill them.”

A general under Bai Qi, the General also couldn't help but add: “Yes, Your Majesty! The only thing that can deal efficient damage to them is a defense tower like the Single-headed Hell Tower, which deals escalating damage. But such towers have extremely short range and are usually used as the final line of defense, placed in the most core position of the territory. Who would build it on the outermost layer as cannon fodder?”

Another person echoed: “Exactly! By the time the monster army has rushed into the range of our Hell Tower, it basically means our outer defenses have completely collapsed. At that point, we’ll be too busy defending ourselves to even think about grabbing points!”

They spoke one after another, their core message being only one thing—we are not unwilling, but the opponent’s methods completely exceeded common sense.

Li Si finally concluded: “Your Majesty, Heaven's Choice’s tower appears to be a variation of the Hell Tower, but it… defies logic. Its range almost covers the entire battlefield. This is no longer a tactical problem, but… a rule-level dimensionality reduction strike. We, it is not that we are unwilling, but that we are truly unable.”

“Unable?”

First Emperor sneered, his gaze turning to the ID that had not uttered a single word from beginning to end.

That ID, like a peerless fierce sword steeped in a pool of blood for billions of years, merely by existing, caused the temperature of the entire channel to drop by several degrees.

First Emperor: “Bai Qi, the General.”

Bai Qi, the General: “Your subject is here.”

First Emperor: “We don’t want to hear any excuses. We only ask you, can you reclaim this first place for Us?”

Everyone’s gaze focused on Bai Qi, the General.

This Great Qin’s Grand General, a God of Slaughter who had massacred countless beings, was the empire’s sharpest blade.

Bai Qi, the General’s avatar flickered, and he uttered a single word.

“Yes.”

Without the slightest hesitation.

First Emperor: “What is your plan?”

Bai Qi, the General: “Blood for blood, tooth for tooth.”

His voice was devoid of any emotion, as if he were discussing something unrelated to himself.

“Heaven's Choice’s tower is strong in its range and escalating damage. But precisely because the damage escalates, it requires a brief process, about five to ten seconds, from locking onto a target to completing the kill.”

“This process is our opportunity.”

Li Si’s eyes moved: “General, do you mean… to snatch the kill?”

Bai Qi, the General: “Exactly. My hero unit, Blood Slaughter Guard, possesses an ultimate skill—Lotus Black Hole. This skill is not known for its damage, but for its strength in rules.”

He paused, then continued to explain.

“Once Lotus Black Hole is activated, it continuously pulls all enemy units within the specified range towards the center of the black hole. If a unit’s health drops below 20% while being pulled, it will be instantly executed, ignoring all defenses and immunities.”

As soon as this was said, everyone in the channel was first stunned, then enlightened!

This was simply a divine skill tailor-made for the current situation!

Heaven's Choice’s Judgment Sky Eye needed time to stack damage, slowly whittling down the BOSS’s health from 100%.

And Bai Qi, the General didn’t need to clash with it head-on at all!

He only needed to wait quietly, like a top hunter lurking in the grass.

Waiting for the Judgment Sky Eye to push the prey’s health into the 20% execution range.

Then… he would strike decisively, using Lotus Black Hole to swallow this soon-to-be-obtained fruit of victory whole!

Li Si clapped his hands in admiration: “Brilliant! Truly brilliant! In this way, Heaven's Choice’s divine tower will essentially be working for General Bai Qi, the General! The faster he attacks, the more accurately we snatch!”

“This isn’t just about snatching points, it’s about breaking his spirit! I want Heaven's Choice to watch helplessly as his attacks make a wedding dress for us!”

The fury in First Emperor’s eyes finally slowly receded, replaced by a cold, playful amusement.

“Good.”

“Very good.”

“Bai Qi, the General, We grant you the highest command authority. All imperial resources are at your disposal.”

“We want to see our name back in its rightful place before dawn!”

Bai Qi, the General: “As you command. Your subject will not fail!”

A conspiracy targeting the Celestial Court had already quietly begun.

The entire Great Qin Empire’s war machine, after a brief silence, once again operated at high speed in an even more ferocious and precise manner.

They were like a pack of sharks that had smelled blood, their gaze locked firmly on the seemingly peaceful territory of the Celestial Court.
