The tip of the sword pierced the air, producing a series of sonic booms!
A phantom fire dragon roared at the heavens, sweeping up a sky full of fiery waves as it dived toward Qin Xiao!
The surrounding soldiers were sent flying backward by the massive shockwave.
Seeing that the attack was about to reach Qin Xiao's throat, everyone's pupils violently trembled as they roared hoarsely.
"No! Don't!"
"Your Majesty! Watch out!"
Facing Xiao Xuantian's lethal strike, Qin Xiao's eyes remained profound, calm to the extreme.
It was as if this attack, which brought despair to countless others, was nothing more than a trivial matter to him.
Right at this moment, Qin Xiao paused slightly.
The system's voice suddenly rang out.
[Emperor's Divine Choice System Triggered!]
[Choice 1: The love between Xiao Xuantian and the Great Zhou's female general is world-shaking. To sacrifice hundreds of thousands of civilians for love is simply too touching! Defeat Xiao Xuantian and let the two leave. Reward: Ultimate Love Brain!]
[Choice 2: A mere Supreme Grandmaster dares to attack Us? Watch Us feign weakness to scheme against him, defeat Xiao Xuantian, and subdue him. Reward: Title of Holy Father Emperor!]
[Choice 3: Thunder and rain are both the Emperor's grace! Sacrificing hundreds of thousands of civilians for so-called love has already provoked Our wrath! He has committed an unforgivable crime! Please suppress Xiao Xuantian with a single move and tell him just how ridiculous he is!]
[Reward: One Ten Thousand Slaves Mark (Can forcibly alter the target's will, turning them into a slave!)]
Seeing the first two options, Qin Xiao was speechless for a moment.
When he saw the third option, his eyes suddenly lit up.
To him, this was a supreme treasure!
As long as the target's strength did not exceed his own, he could turn them into a slave.
Although it was only a single-use item, its effect was simply heaven-defying!
However, Qin Xiao had no intention of using such a heaven-defying Ten Thousand Slaves Mark on Xiao Xuantian; that would be far too much of a waste.
He had already figured out exactly how to use it.
With this thought in mind, Qin Xiao chose the third option without hesitation.
When Qin Xiao's consciousness returned to reality, the hoarse shouts of countless soldiers and Huang Hansheng's despairing cries echoed in his ears.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Xiao Xuantian's eyes were cruel and mad, filled with deadly intent!
"Hahaha! Qin Xiao! So what if you are the Emperor? If you dare to stand in the way of my love, then you can go to hell!"
He was already prepared to welcome the sight of Qin Xiao's throat being pierced by his sword, blood splattering everywhere!
But in the next second, something happened that made everyone's hair stand on end!
A golden protective astral aura suddenly emerged from Qin Xiao's body.
When the raging fire dragon touched Qin Xiao's protective aura, it was like a clay ox entering the sea—it dissipated instantly!
Xiao Xuantian's pupils shrank abruptly.
He looked at Qin Xiao in absolute disbelief.
"This... how is this possible! How could your protective aura be so powerful!"
He desperately channeled the true qi within his body, and the phantom fire dragon solidified once more, letting out a roar as it viciously slammed into Qin Xiao!
"Die!"
However, the moment the tip of his sword pierced the protective aura...
Crack!
The sword tip shattered!
"Arghhhh!"
Xiao Xuantian went mad. With bloodshot eyes, he gripped the hilt with both hands and used all his strength, trying to thrust the broken sword into Qin Xiao's neck.
But he found that even with all his might, he couldn't advance a single inch!
Qin Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering in the wind. His handsome face was completely unruffled, as if he hadn't made a single movement.
Yet this astral aura, which seemed to originate from ancient times, acted like an insurmountable chasm, bringing nothing but despair!
Xiao Xuantian gasped heavily. The confidence in his eyes was gone, replaced only by horror!
"You... how could you be so powerful!"
Even using his full strength, he couldn't pierce Qin Xiao's protective aura.
What a terrifying reality this was!
It should be known that he was a Supreme Grandmaster. Using all his power, he couldn't even harm a single hair on Qin Xiao's head.
This horrifying fact plunged him into unparalleled terror!
Qin Xiao slowly lowered his head, looking down from above at Xiao Xuantian, whose forehead veins were bulging and eyes were wide open, and let out a disdainful laugh.
"Does an ant also deserve to raise a hand against Us?"
This casually spoken sentence struck Xiao Xuantian like a bolt of lightning.
A terrifying, vast oppressive pressure descended instantly!
It made him violently spit out a mouthful of blood, and his entire body was sent flying backward!
He crashed to the ground, looking like a dead dog.
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
They gazed at the Emperor who stood tall between heaven and earth, looking down upon all living beings!
Their eyes were filled with shock and fanaticism!
Was this their Majesty?
Truly invincible!
Wang Xuerou's pretty face was pale as snow, her delicate body trembling. She watched this scene in disbelief.
She stumbled over to Xiao Xuantian, supported his arm, and cried anxiously, "Brother Xuantian, are you okay?"
Xiao Xuantian coughed violently and struggled to climb up from the ground. He looked incredibly pathetic, devoid of his former majesty.
He could only clutch his chest and stare at Qin Xiao in horror and despair.
Only now did he realize that Qin Xiao, whom he had never taken seriously, possessed such terrifying strength!
"Quick... run!"
Trembling all over, he gritted his teeth, forced his shaking legs to stand, and shouted with all his might.
Qin Xiao had anticipated this scene long ago and gave a light chuckle.
"You want to run? Have you asked for Our permission?"
He casually waved his hand.
Two hundred thousand Qin soldiers formed up in the front, raising their long spears.
"Hah!"
A heaven-shaking roar erupted, killing intent soaring into the sky!
This posture immediately caused the legs of the hundred thousand defeated Great Zhou troops, who were preparing to break out, to go soft. Weapons dropped all over the ground.
Their faces turned deathly pale, losing all will to resist.
"Qin Xiao... what do you want to do?" Xiao Xuantian's voice trembled, yet he self-righteously accused Qin Xiao.
"I have already lost, can't you just let me go?"
"I have fought battles across the north and south for the Great Qin, guarded the borders, and protected the peace of the Great Qin. Now that I have merely made a small mistake, you want to kill me. How can your heart be so vicious!"
Wang Xuerou chimed in, "That's right! If it weren't for Brother Xuantian, your Great Qin would have been destroyed by my Great Zhou long ago!"
The two of them spoke with absolute conviction.
It was as if they were saying that without Xiao Xuantian, the Great Qin would fall.
By the end, Xiao Xuantian himself believed his own words.
"I am a meritorious minister of the Great Qin. Who dares to kill me? Who can kill me!"
"Qin Xiao, if you dare touch a hair on my head today, the people of the world will surely know that you slaughter your meritorious ministers. Who else would dare serve your Great Qin in the future!"
Xiao Xuantian regained some confidence and was no longer even afraid of Qin Xiao.
His threatening tone caused the surrounding soldiers to exchange glances, their faces showing anger.
However, Qin Xiao simply looked at Xiao Xuantian indifferently and smiled.
"Thunder and rain are both the Emperor's grace! If We want to kill you, why would We need a reason?"
His voice was airy and light, yet it shook everyone to their core!
Following that, Qin Xiao's next words directly nailed Xiao Xuantian to the pillar of historical shame.
"You, Xiao Xuantian, as a High General of the Great Qin, enjoyed endless glory and guarded the borders! Yet you illicitly consorted with a female general of the Great Zhou, and even went so far as to offer up a city of civilians just to win her favor!"
"Does a conscience-bereft scum like you still deserve to be a general of my Great Qin?"
"From this day forth, We strip you of your title as a General of the Great Qin and reduce you to a commoner. Your property will be confiscated, and your clan exterminated. Anyone within your nine generations shall be executed!"
The last sentence echoed throughout the entire battlefield!
No one dared to argue back!
Everyone bowed their heads.
Xiao Xuance's face turned completely ashen, all his hopes shattered.
Beside him, Wang Xuerou's delicate body trembled violently. Drained of all color, she slumped to the ground next to Xiao Xuance.
"Kill!"
Qin Xiao coldly spat out the single word.
Two hundred thousand Qin soldiers raised their long spears, their murderous intent surging to the heavens!
But right at that moment.
"Qin Xiao! I have arrived! I have come to claim your life!"
An icy voice suddenly exploded through the air!
Rumble!
The mountains swayed and the earth trembled, vibrating so violently that pebbles danced on the ground.
Not far away, a yellow gale swept across the landscape, kicking up a dust storm that blotted out the sun!
Countless hooves trampled the earth. The men and steeds were obscured by the dust, leaving only the fierce fluttering of war banners visible!
"Awooo! Awooo!"
Terrifying wolf howls echoed through the clouds!
A figure clad in blood-red armor, mounted atop a Silver Moon Wolf King, slowly emerged into everyone's line of sight like an Asura ascending from hell.
"Awooo!"
The Silver Moon Wolf King let out another howl. Lunging forward, it leapt into the air, bounding across the tops of the soldiers' heads.
In the span of just a few breaths, it landed with pinpoint precision right in front of Qin Xiao.
Thick clouds of dust billowed upward.
The very ground cracked beneath its sheer force!
"Qin Xiao! You killed Wu Yan'er, and now I will make you pay with your blood!"
From behind a ghastly mask, a pair of scarlet eyes locked fiercely onto Qin Xiao!
The suffocating murderous intent radiating from him felt cold enough to freeze a man's heart!
The newcomer was none other than the one who had been biding his time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike... the Xiongnu King!

So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement?
