What happened next was so sudden that even someone as powerful as Ying Zheng was moved—he dodged away with lightning speed!
It was truly terrifying. It was one thing for Yan Dan to suddenly go berserk, but it was another for him to break through the capture of seven or eight fully armored soldiers. However, given Yan Dan's extraordinary talent and immense strength, it was somewhat understandable.
The problem was that he was sweating profusely, his cheeks were flushed, and his eyes were glazed but persistent as he stared at the King of Qin, almost moaning as he called out his name.
This kind of psychological attack is terrifying!
Li Si, Wang Wan, Wei Liao, and others in the audience were visibly shaken, never expecting things to develop this way.
They exchanged a glance, then lowered their heads and looked away, their hearts filled with indescribable strangeness.
"Your Majesty, retreat quickly! We will defend you!"
Wang Ben shouted and charged forward through gritted teeth. Meng Tian was punching people repeatedly, and Wang Ben managed to hold Yan Dan back.
However, Yan Dan seemed to have gone mad, pulling out a white bone dagger from the map. It was extremely sharp, and every slash would draw blood. Moreover, after drawing blood, it could even emit an eerie light.
This inevitably makes people hesitant to act rashly.
"A farce"
With these words, Yan Dan was slammed to the ground, the blood he spat out staining half the ground red. He was instantly half-dead, and the white bone dagger he was holding fell to the ground.
As everyone looked up, the Moon Goddess appeared out of thin air, dressed in a gown as blue as the clouds and crimson as the sky, holding a jade rabbit, her brows slightly furrowed.
With a flick of her wrist, the white bone dagger floated in mid-air, slowly releasing twisting, worm-like blood threads that sent chills down one's spine and evoked a strong sense of disgust.
"Zheng greets Her Highness the Moon Goddess," Ying Zheng, who was standing aside, seemed somewhat frightened and ashamed.
"Yan Dan attempted to assassinate me. If it weren't for the Moon Goddess's intervention, I would have been in grave danger. I wonder what this thing is and how it came to be in Yan Dan's hands?"
Ying Zheng was genuinely curious. It wasn't that he looked down on Yan Dan—well, he did—but he couldn't believe that such an eerie bone dagger belonged to Yan Dan.
"No need to think about it, it's just Nüba's prank!" The Jade Rabbit jumped down from the Moon Goddess's arms and answered loudly.
Female demon!
A sense of certainty arose in everyone's minds: who else could it be but this fierce and menacing deity? It couldn't possibly be the Moon Goddess, could it?
"You must not touch this bone dagger. It was made from the bones of Chi You, and it is filled with filth and bloodlust. It is a great evil to the human race."
After the system's Jade Rabbit finished reading in a serious tone, those who were near the location of the white bone dagger retreated almost instantly.
"Then why is Yan Dan so useless with this dagger?"
Wang Ben scratched his head and pointed to Yan Dandao, who was like a dead man, only breathing in but not out, yet whose genitals were unbearable to look at.
We haven't figured out how to make this up yet. Yan Dan only took an aphrodisiac, not a superpower. It's already unexpected that he can be so vigorous.
The system fell silent. The ethereal Moon Goddess turned her head, a tiny crystal bead shimmering, her eyelashes fluttering slightly as she said helplessly:
"The reason I say this is a farce is because Nüba was eight parts of playing tricks on this person."
Although the white bone dagger was sharp, Yan Dan had no way to control it, and could not even unleash one or two tenths of its power. Moreover, all his meridians would be destroyed afterward, so even if the assassination succeeded, he would die in no time.
The demon Nüba is so vicious!
A chill ran through everyone, and those who had been eyeing the dagger quickly suppressed their greed.
Seemingly sensing their fear, the Moon Goddess smiled gently, and the dagger trembled violently. With a crack, cracks appeared on the dagger, and it shattered into fine powder in an instant.
"I came here partly to destroy this thing. Chi You deeply hates the human race, and even if the dagger made from his bones is not used, its existence among humans will bring great disaster."
The Moon Goddess rarely spoke so softly as to explain.
Ying Zheng noticed something amiss and his eyes flashed. It seemed that the Moon Goddess had gained enough benefits from this confrontation with Haotian.
"Thank you for your trouble, Moon Goddess."
Ying Zheng said with gratitude, but he didn't intend to mention Nüba at all. Since the die was cast, why weaken his support?
At this moment, someone everyone had overlooked—Jing Ke—with a complex expression, suddenly shouted loudly:
"Your Highness, the tyrannical Qin dynasty slaughtered the innocent and oppressed innocent nations, causing rivers of blood to flow across the land. Why would a deity like you stand on the side of the tyrannical Qin? Do the gods not distinguish between good and evil?"
Jing Ke raised his head high, looking at the Moon Goddess with both anticipation and excitement.
"Of course it's because Ying Zheng and the Qin Kingdom will be the victors," Ling Xiao chuckled to himself as he spoke to the system.
"That's right. Moreover, the world, after a long period of division, tends to unite; after a long period of unity, tends to divide again. If it weren't Qin, it would have been another country. In short, there will definitely be war. They are resentful simply because they are not the victors."
The system, disguised as the Jade Rabbit, is making sarcastic remarks.
The Moon Goddess's gaze fell upon Jing Ke, and she coldly uttered a single sentence:
What is good and evil?
The noble deity slightly furrowed her brow, "Can you mortals truly distinguish between good and evil?"
Before Jing Ke could speak, the Jade Rabbit beside the Moon Goddess spoke first:
"Hmph, you only know that Qin's unification of the world led to rivers of bloodshed, which is evil. Does that mean that the wars between the six states and the unrest in the world were not evil? Qin's ability to unify the world was half due to destiny and half due to its own relentless efforts to fight for it."
A strange light flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes, and his heart was filled with heroic spirit. On the contrary, Jing Ke's face was pale, as if he had suddenly realized something.
The Jade Rabbit, with its hands behind its back, swayed and paced.
"Killing one person is a crime, killing ten thousand is heroism, killing a million is the greatest of heroes!"
The Qin state's unification of China was achieved through bloodshed, but it secured peace in the future. If the Qin people hadn't possessed the courage and resources, another state would have done it.
Li Si and his ministers were equally excited. To be able to assist a monarch in creating an unprecedented great undertaking, conquering six other states with one kingdom! What incredible fortune!
