A boundless sea of blood churned in the firmament, dyeing the entire sky scarlet!
Qin Xiao's eyes erupted with heaven-shaking killing intent as he walked step by step toward Wu Yan'er.
His black imperial robes billowed, the golden dragon patterns looking fierce and lifelike. With every step he took, ripples echoed across the ground like surging ocean waves!
A terrifying aura of coercion enveloped the entire scene!
Qin Xiao was like a peerless emperor, suppressing the world!
Feeling this formidable pressure, everyone present could not help but prostrate themselves on the ground, trembling uncontrollably!
So strong! So terrifying!
Wu Yan'er's spine bent under the pressure, her body shivering incessantly as she uncontrollably fell to her knees.
Behind her, the one thousand Shadow Guards were even less able to bear the heavy burden; they spat blood and crashed directly to their knees.
The impact of their knees hitting the ground produced a heavy, resounding thud.
This scene shocked everyone!
No one had expected Qin Xiao's strength to reach such a terrifying level!
Just his aura alone was enough to suffocate everyone present!
Mister Dugu, quickly make a move and suppress Qin Xiao!
Wu Yan'er's face was as pale as paper as she hurriedly cried out to the white-robed old man carrying a sword on his back beside her.
She did not want to kneel, nor could she possibly kneel to Qin Xiao!
She was the lofty Princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty; how could she kneel to a peasant like Qin Xiao!
So this is Qin Xiao? His strength is indeed not bad. I hope he does not disappoint this old man.
The sword-bearing old man, Dugu Jian, had a flash of sharp light erupt from his cloudy eyes. Sword intent swirled around his body, and faintly, the sounds of roaring dragons and howling tigers could be heard!
A vast sword intent was released from Dugu Jian's body.
Buzz!
The void trembled as ripples of sword intent spread out like water waves, diffusing in all directions and clashing against Qin Xiao's domineering imperial aura!
Boom!
The two clashed with tyrannical force, making it seem as if heaven and earth were about to shatter!
Their auras intertwined, forming a terrifying storm!
The crowd felt as if they were suffocating, their chests tight and their faces deathly pale.
Too terrifying!
This was a battle between supreme experts!
Everyone was terrified out of their wits.
Dugu Jian also put away his contempt for Qin Xiao, a flash of astonishment appearing for the first time on his withered, bark-like old face.
Just by clashing auras, he realized that Qin Xiao was not weaker than him!
One must know that he was a sword cultivator, and sword intent was the sharpest energy in the world!
You are very strong. If you were at my age, I would definitely not be your match.
Dugu Jian spoke truthfully, his expression unprecedentedly solemn.
Hearing this, Wu Yan'er's eyes widened in shock, her face filled with disbelief.
Mister Dugu, is Qin Xiao really that powerful?
One had to remember that Dugu Jian was a peak sword path expert of the Great Zhou!
His swordsmanship was divine, and he was known as the contemporary Sword Fanatic in the Great Zhou!
He had once suppressed the entire martial arts underworld of the Great Zhou with just one man and one sword, and no one dared to rival him!
He was a supreme grandmaster of the sword path who had achieved mastery in swordsmanship, only one step away from the Martial Saint realm!
Dugu Jian nodded and said seriously, If Qin Xiao is given another ten years, his future achievements will definitely surpass mine.
Wu Yan'er's face turned exceptionally ugly.
With Qin Xiao having such high talent and powerful strength, the Empress would definitely not allow her to touch him.
After all, Qin Xiao still held tremendous utilization value for the Great Zhou.
One must know that the former Qin Xiao was not only the Great Qin's war machine, but he had also conquered vast territories for the Great Zhou.
Back then, the Empress had agreed to Emperor Qinwu's marriage alliance precisely because she valued Qin Xiao's ability to wage war.
Moreover, with so many troops present, trying to kill Qin Xiao would definitely be very troublesome.
Thinking of this, Wu Yan'er could only forcefully suppress the grievance and unwillingness in her heart.
It seems I can only bring out the Empress's imperial edict.
Her true purpose in coming back this time was still the Empress's imperial edict.
But driven by greed, she had insisted on splitting the Great Qin empire equally with Qin Xiao.
This was what led to her being imprisoned by Qin Xiao.
However, she was a princess of the Great Zhou after all. Coming to the Great Qin, she had many experts following her, hidden in the shadows.
Wu Yan'er looked at Qin Xiao, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes as she took out an imperial edict from a jade box.
The imperial edict of the Great Zhou Empress has arrived. Qin Xiao, kneel and receive the decree!
Since she could not deal with Qin Xiao, she would let the Great Zhou Empress suppress him.
She did not believe that Qin Xiao would dare to disobey the Empress's orders!
Audacious! His Majesty is the Emperor of our Great Qin, how could he kneel to receive a decree!
Lu Fengxian roared in anger, veins bulging on his forehead.
The group of Great Qin officials present had faces full of anger, their fists tightly clenched.
They wished they could rush up and tear this group of arrogant people to pieces!
Wu Yan'er smiled like a blooming flower; seeing these people enraged only made her smile widen.
What? Do you actually want to kill me?
Coming here this time, I represent the Great Zhou Empress. Do you all wish to start a war with the Great Zhou?
These words were like a basin of cold water poured over everyone's heads.
With the Great Qin's current strength, going to war with the Great Zhou was tantamount to playing with fire and burning oneself!
The Great Zhou was one of the top overlords among the Seven Nations, a veteran powerhouse.
Before the Great Qin was even founded, the Great Zhou had already existed.
How could a Great Qin that had just stepped into the ranks of the Seven Nations shake a foundation of over a thousand years?
Everyone was so stifled with grievance that their faces turned red.
Seeing everyone fall silent, Wu Yan'er's arrogance and disdainful attitude became even more apparent!
She unrolled the imperial edict and announced directly.
The Great Zhou Empress decrees: Qin Xiao is young and a military general, unsuited to manage the Great Qin. It is specially ordained that Qin Yu and Qin Xiao shall rule together as co-emperors! You are to bow and submit as subjects to the Great Zhou, offering tribute year after year to show your heart of submission. Respect this!
Wu Yan'er read aloud.
At this, not only were the civil and military officials stunned.
Even the five hundred thousand strong army below the city walls was dumbfounded.
What the hell?
Two emperors for one nation?
What kind of utter nonsense is this!
Furthermore, as one of the Seven Nations of the world, they were expected to bow and submit to the Great Zhou?
This was too absurd!
It was simply rubbing the Great Qin's dignity into the dirt!
Damn it! Since the founding of our Great Qin, when have we ever suffered such humiliation!
If their Great Zhou wants war, then let there be war! At worst, the fish dies and the net breaks!
We swear to death not to be subservient subjects!
Your Majesty, give the order! Let us go to war with the Great Zhou!
...
One general after another stepped forward with monstrous anger, kneeling on the ground,
Craning their necks and glaring furiously at Wu Yan'er and her group above.
From the leading generals down to the lowest foot soldiers, there was no one who was not enraged!
The Great Qin had struggled through the legacy of six generations to reach where it was today.
Why should a single word from the Great Zhou Empress make the Great Qin bow in submission and become a laughingstock!
We swear to death not to be slaves of a conquered nation!
We swear to death not to be slaves of a conquered nation!
The soldiers roared one after another, their voices resounding through the clouds.

Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement.

Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
