"With such power, how is it any different from that of a king or nobleman..."
Taishi Wuwei glanced at Sun Zuo and gave a wry smile.
Shen Qian was certainly not a king or marquis, that's for sure. The manifestation of a king's or marquis's soul was also different from that of a martial artist from the Mountain and Sea Realm. But to scare away 100,000 martial artists with one person's strength, what else could he be but a king or marquis?
"But without that mound of corpses, what good is killing just one person?" Sun Zuo said in a low voice, his expression complicated. "And with what he said... he's aiming to achieve his goal in one fell swoop!"
"Killing ten thousand people is also a way of saving ten thousand people. Isn't this a way of ending war with war?"
Taishi Wuwei also sighed.
As bystanders, and with their understanding of Shen Qian, they were able to see clearly what Shen Qian truly wanted.
"But he still holds that eight-star 'literary rank,' it seems..."
Before Sun Zuo could finish speaking, his expression suddenly turned puzzled. "What is Shen Qian going to do?"
Taishi Wuwei also looked up. After Shen Qian killed Yan Kuan with a single strike from a distance, he suddenly picked up the "King" tablet from the ground.
“If you’re going to fight, fight fair and square. If you’re going to use tricks, schemes, or even collude with foreign tribes, I will not hesitate to kill you.”
Shen Qian said coldly, "I'm putting my words here today: either you step forward now and kill me, or even after you leave 'The Sea of Learning,' I will settle accounts with you one by one!"
"As for this 'royal' rank... ha, do you really think I'd care about it before I die?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qian suddenly tossed the crown in his hand high into the air, then reached out and grabbed the iron hammer at the top of the mountain of books, and swung it hard.
boom!
Amidst the incredulous gazes of countless people, the brilliant "King's" literary position, as radiant as the moon, suddenly split into four or five parts, transforming into more than ten clusters of knowledge-infused light that shot out in all directions.
Has he gone mad before sinking?
All the martial artists present almost doubted that they were hallucinating. That was an eight-star literary rank!
Before sinking, he destroyed it without any hesitation...
Amidst the shock, many people bowed their heads in utter astonishment.
Before he died, he claimed to have no selfish motives. What could be more powerful proof than his self-destruction of his official position?
Almost instantly, many people retreated again and again, their initial hostility towards Chen Qian long since vanished.
But not everyone withdrew.
Many people remained where they were, some with indifferent expressions, some with shifty eyes, and some making no attempt to conceal their murderous intent.
At a glance, there were already 20,000 people.
One of the key reasons that prompted some people to stay was that the light representing the fluctuations of soul power on Shen Qian's body had dimmed to an extreme after he killed Yan Kuan.
Like a candle flickering in the wind, no one doubts that it could be extinguished at any moment.
"Not as many as I imagined... It seems the minister doesn't need to worry too much; at least for now, public sentiment is still reliable."
Upon seeing this scene, Shen Qian smiled instead, as if he had let go of some worry. Then he murmured softly, as if sighing.
"System, you can get started now."
