The knife was forcibly pulled from his abdomen, and Mingren's face contorted in pain. He collapsed to the ground with a thud, but although the pain was intense, it was not enough to kill him immediately. He began to wail.
Qin Ze ignored him, picked up the dagger, and coldly looked at Mingren, saying:
"You don't deserve a good death."
As he spoke, Qin Ze's gaze swept back and forth within the shrine. Although many memorial tablets had been knocked down earlier, the vast shrine was still extremely magnificent, with several golden statues and plaques bearing names placed beneath them.
Without a doubt, these are the emperors of Japan throughout history.
On the ema walls on both sides, ropes were tied and covered with wooden plaques, which were densely covered with various words of worship.
Looking at the golden statues, Qin Ze turned to the crowd and smiled:
"A bunch of beasts dare to have statues? Heh, come on, move them out, melt them down and make gold bricks to send back to Nanjing, find a good spot to lay them down, and let us trample on them more."
Dian Wei laughed loudly, "Yes, my lord!"
Immediately, the generals stepped forward, and a group of them vigorously pushed the golden statue!
Akihito's eyes widened in fury, and he gritted his teeth as he roared, "You must not be insulted..."
With a loud "bang!"
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Ze picked up a memorial tablet and slapped it hard across Mingren's face.
With a single blow, Mingren's face looked as if a large dye vat had been opened; his nose was crooked, and his face was covered in blood, while the wooden sign was also shattered into pieces!
Akihito screamed and collapsed to the ground.
Qin Ze's face was cold as he roared, "A bunch of wicked scoundrels, what can't we insult!"
"It's a pity they died so young. If they were alive, I would have cut off their heads one by one and thrown them into the latrine!"
At this point, Qin Ze's heart stirred, and he continued:
Qi Jiguang!
"My lord! What are your orders?" Qi Jiguang turned his head and asked.
"Once the war is over, this place will be converted into a latrine!"
Upon hearing this, Akihito, who was groaning on the ground, was so angry that he almost fainted.
You must know that the Zhenguo Shrine is the most sacred place in Japan, where the remains of our ancestors are kept! And this brutal Qin Ze wants to turn it into a latrine!
This humiliation was worse than death for him.
Akihito only regretted not dying sooner; hearing these words now made him wish he were dead.
"No...no!"
“This is my Fusang…” he groaned softly.
Qin Ze snorted coldly, turned around and threw the wooden plaque on the table at Mingren, saying:
"You guys got off too easy!"
"Logically speaking, we should dig up the bones of all the scum you worship, whip them, and expose them to the sun for months! But soaking them in the latrine would be just as good."
Dian Wei was just breaking off the head of a golden statue when he heard this and burst into laughter.
"Brilliant! My lord! With so many people in our Yan Kingdom, if we pass it down from generation to generation, wouldn't these Japanese pirates be stuck in latrines forever in the future?"
"That would truly leave a lasting stain on their reputation!"
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
Qin Ze nodded and smiled:
"Once the war is over, let our people come here, let our descendants come and visit, so that they will know that those who dare to encroach on the territory of our Yan Kingdom and kill our compatriots should be punished in this way!"
Dian Wei tilted his head and laughed, "Then they'll all have to take their pants off when they come here, otherwise they'll have come for nothing."
Qin Ze smiled without saying a word, but Ming Ren was so angry that he was dizzy and even had difficulty breathing. Now that things had come to this, he understood the principle of the victor taking all and the loser being the one who lost. As the loser, there was nothing he could do now.
But then, something suddenly occurred to him, and he sneered coldly:
"Although my Fusang has been defeated by you, your smugness won't last long!!"
"The Taqi Kingdom has a close relationship with Fusang, and Fusang is extremely important to them. Your insistence on destroying Fusang will inevitably anger them!"
"Just wait! Even if my Fusang is destroyed, your Yan Kingdom will soon be just like us!"
"Hahahaha!" Akihito, filled with intense hatred, became more and more excited as he spoke, and laughed loudly with a cold expression.
"Ha, even now, you still expect your master to avenge you?" Qin Ze walked to the wall, pulled off a string of nameplates, and threw them at Ming Ren.
He then continued:
"They say you have to consider the owner before you beat a dog. Mingren, since I dare to destroy you, I am naturally not afraid of your master."
"What a pity, you dog, you're going to the underworld soon and you won't see how I beat your master in the future."
"But it doesn't matter, it's just a matter of sooner or later, it will reunite you and your servant."
At this point, Qin Ze gave Mingren a cold glance.
Mingren was covered in wooden plaques, and thick ropes were wrapped around his body. His breathing became more and more rapid, and a large pool of blood had already flowed on the ground.
The golden statue had been taken down and then all of them were taken outside. Qin Ze also turned and walked out.
Akihito seemed to have anticipated something, and at that moment he suddenly roared:
"I'm waiting for you! The people of Taqi will slaughter your Yan Kingdom until rivers of blood flow!"
"Hahaha! I'm waiting for you!"
Qin Ze, who had already stepped outside, stared expressionlessly at the roaring Ming Ren, then raised his arm.
Behind him, the rocket operators had already aimed inside.
"Don't shoot this bastard, let him die slowly," Qin Ze said coldly, then lowered his arm.
"Rustling!"
In an instant, more than a dozen rockets shot into the shrine!
The curtain was set ablaze, and the strings of nameplates hanging on the wall also caught fire, while the offering table gradually burst into flames.
Flames erupted, and Akihito, surrounded by flames, roared with ever-growing ferocity amidst the firelight:
"The Taqi people will kill you all!"
"You have destroyed my Fusang, and your Yan Kingdom will not escape either! The Taqi Kingdom will definitely come! They will definitely attack your Yan Kingdom!"
"You're finished! You're finished! Hahahaha!"
Qin Ze remained calm and said indifferently:
"Who is truly finished, Akihito? Later, the wild ghosts of Taqi Kingdom will come to tell you."
"And for you, Fusang, it's all over."
The fire burned ever brighter, and the severely injured Emperor Mingren was too weak to move. He could only watch helplessly as the flames gradually reached his side and ignited the memorial tablets.
The thick black smoke choked him so much that he could no longer utter a single word, leaving him only with violent coughing.
Soon, the flames climbed onto his body. Under the intense heat, Akihito let out a ghostly wail. His hair was burned off, and his skin sizzled from the flames.
Qin Ze stood at the door, coldly watching Akihito be engulfed by flames, watching the flames ignite everything inside the shrine.
The fire intensified, and the roof beams inside the shrine began to collapse, sending thick black smoke into the night sky.
Until the very end—
A deafening roar!
The entire shrine collapsed with a roar, and the fire reached its peak at this time!
Flames soared into the sky, the raging flames turning Qin Ze's face bright red. He turned to look at the bright moon in the night sky and murmured to himself:
"The hatred for the nation and the grudges of the family, today, we will pay for them all!"
