Seeing such a cold-blooded and ruthless Emperor Qinwu, Qin Ruyan and Qin Rumeng felt a bone-chilling cold wash over them, unable to stop themselves from shivering. They subconsciously stepped back.
Their dreams were shattered!
The once domineering yet gentle father who doted on them had changed!
If Qin Rushuang could be sacrificed at any moment, then what did the two of them amount to?
The moment the truth is torn open, it is often accompanied by bloody flesh.
The two of them fell into despair, sitting blankly on the ground, not knowing how to cope with the tragedy that was unfolding.
Meanwhile, Qin Rushuang was facing the charge of a five hundred thousand strong army!
"Kill!"
The front row of cavalry raised their spears and thrust them at Qin Rushuang. Over a dozen long spears whistled through the air.
Qin Rushuang's eyes turned cold as she raised her sword to block.
Clang!
The crisp sound of clashing metal echoed through the sky.
Then, her longsword danced like a dragon, slashing and hacking, cutting the spears in half.
Squelch! Squelch!
Blood splattered, and miserable screams erupted.
Heads flew and fell.
Blood splattered across heaven and earth.
In just three breaths, Qin Rushuang had slain the entire front row of cavalry.
However, the cavalry advanced wave upon wave, swarming over her like a tidal wave, giving her absolutely no chance to catch her breath.
Qin Rushuang furrowed her brows.
Although these cavalrymen were weak, their numbers were simply too great. Even if she fought with her life on the line, she wouldn't last long!
But now, she seemed to have no choice but to fight!
From behind the army, a ruthless glint flashed in Qin Yu's eyes. He raised his hand, drew an arrow, and aimed at Qin Rushuang.
With a swoosh, the arrow tore through the night sky.
Qin Rushuang's pupils shrank, and her heartbeat accelerated.
This arrow came too suddenly, leaving her defenseless!
Not daring to be careless, she hurriedly swung her sword.
"Pfft!"
The arrow plunged straight into her left shoulder blade.
Bright red blood spurted out.
Qin Rushuang bit her lip, her face pale.
Through the dense layers of cavalry, she saw Qin Yu with his bow drawn.
The moment their eyes met.
Qin Rushuang couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
The younger brother she had once favored in every way had ultimately shot a fatal arrow at her!
In the brief moment she was stunned.
Squelch! Squelch!
A small squad of cavalry took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Their spears fiercely pierced into Qin Rushuang's chest.
Her body suddenly stiffened, and she fell backward.
However, there were also cavalrymen behind her thrusting their spears.
Then came the left, the right—an overwhelming number of cavalry and their cold, gleaming spears!
Aside from the initial pain, Qin Rushuang felt nothing as the subsequent spears pierced her body.
It was as if she had grown numb.
"Am I... going to die?"
She was like a broken rag doll, casually impaled by the cavalry's spears.
Qin Rushuang could feel no pain, nor the blood, as if she had lost all sensation!
She even felt her heart stop beating.
She just lay there quietly in the freezing snow.
The stench of blood permeated the air.
It was exceptionally pungent in this winter.
In the final moment before losing consciousness, Qin Rushuang smiled, a single tear slowly rolling down her cheek.
"Brother... I'm sorry..."
She exhausted all her strength trying to look at Qin Xiao one last time, but her eyelids were too heavy.
The sound of the cavalry trampling the earth grew fainter and fainter in her ears...
Until it disappeared completely!
Qin Yu coldly glanced at Qin Rushuang's corpse.
It was dripping with blood, riddled with holes like a hedgehog.
"Eldest Sister, if you still loved me like you used to, how could I possibly kill you!"
"You chose this yourself! Who told you to stand on Qin Xiao's side!"
Qin Yu's expression was savage, his face contorted with monstrous hatred.
He looked up and glared fixedly at Qin Xiao, seemingly wanting to see him in utter agony.
However, from beginning to end, even when Qin Rushuang died, Qin Xiao's expression remained calm.
Terrifyingly calm!
"Hmph! Stop pretending! I know that now that Eldest Sister is dead, you must be feeling terrible inside, hurting to death!"
Qin Yu muttered to himself, his smile twisted.
"Don't worry, I'll soon send you down to keep her company!"
"This time, no one can save you!"
He raised his longsword high and charged toward the city gates once more.
"Kill!"
The battle cries shook the heavens.
The five hundred thousand strong army drew closer and closer to the gates.
Excitement burst forth in their eyes.
As if charging into the city would grant them endless wealth and glory!
Atop the city walls.
The civil and military officials shivered in terror.
Everyone looked at the calm-faced Qin Xiao, utterly confused.
Did Qin Xiao really think he could survive by opening the gates and surrendering?
Qin Yu was clearly determined to kill him.
Some officials were even preparing the posture in which they would slide to their knees and surrender.
Everyone present understood that Qin Xiao's reign was over.
Yet Qin Xiao couldn't care less; the corners of his mouth even curled upward.
"Lu Fengxian, lead the townsfolk out of the city."
"It's time for them to reunite with their families."
As soon as he spoke.
"Neigh!"
A fiery red figure galloped past.
Lu Fengxian rode atop the Red Hare, grasping a Sky-Piercer Halberd.
Taking the lead, he guided a massive crowd of commoners out of the city gates.
Among these people were the elderly and the young, men and women.
They wore simple clothes and had honest, naive smiles.
All they felt was the joy of soon seeing their children.
"Ah, Chancellor Cai Kun is truly a great saint. We haven't seen our children for so many years, and His Majesty even specially brought us to the capital."
"Yes, the Chancellor is so kind, he even gave us silver."
"The children have been at the border. I haven't seen that brat of mine for five years, I missed him to death."
"I heard that after this, His Majesty will have our children stationed in the local cities so we can see them every day."
"Yes, yes, yes, Chancellor Cai is truly a great saint! I heard it was his suggestion to His Majesty to bring us to the capital. When we see him, we must thank him properly."
....
The commoners whispered among themselves.
Bright smiles overflowed on their faces.
The bitter and cold borderlands were barren and extremely harsh.
If their families weren't out of food and starving to death, what parents would willingly send their children to the army?
The sudden appearance of a large crowd of commoners caught everyone off guard!
"What's going on?"
Qin Yu paused, his expression stunned.
But in an instant, he seemed to understand.
The gaze he directed at Qin Xiao was filled with mockery and ridicule.
"Hahaha! Qin Xiao, I thought you opened the gates to surrender, but I didn't expect you to make the commoners die in your place!"
"Do you really think I won't raise my blade against civilians?"
His eyes suddenly turned fierce.
"No matter who it is, anyone who dares to stand in my way will be killed without mercy!"
"Charge! Kill! Trample this mob of commoners disguised by the rebel army!"

with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races!

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
