Zhu Xie Chixin's expression changed, and with a tremor of his hand, he retracted the Soul-Hooking Rope. Then, it rapidly spun above his head, forming an umbrella that forcefully blocked the attacks of those purple rays.
Yun Yuqing's forehead was covered in fine sweat. While struggling to maintain the runes, she said to Zuan, "I can't hurt him with this move, I can only hold him off for now. You should leave quickly, or we will all die here."
Zuan said in a deep voice, "That's not necessarily true!"
He flashed forward and charged towards Zhu Xie Chixin. Seeing him rushing towards him, Zhu Xie Chixin sneered, "You're courting death!"
The sickle in his hand was like a meat grinder blocking his way; before the other party could even get close, he would be shredded into mincemeat.
Zuan raised the Tai'a sword and said, word by word, "Domain of Might!"
In that instant, a powerful pressure emanated from the Tai'a Sword. As a sword of might, this was its domain.
However, this skill has a cooldown of about a month, so Zaun almost never uses it unless absolutely necessary.
"This is..." Zhu Xie Chixin was completely unprepared for such terrifying pressure. His whole body trembled subconsciously, a kind of soul-shaking tremor. He wanted to submit to the other party, and the Soul-Hooking Rope he was controlling in his hand showed a slight pause.
Zuan had been waiting for this moment, so he moved to his side, pulled out his deadly dagger, and slashed his neck.
"You..." Zhu Xie Chixin clutched his neck, but the black runes spread out at the wound, and soon he collapsed, no longer breathing.
Zu An breathed a sigh of relief and came to Yun Yuqing's side to catch her as she was exhausted: "Are you alright?"
“I’m fine,” Yun Yuqing said gently, looking at him. “Azu, you’re so good to me.”
Zuan gave a wry smile: "Let's leave first. The commotion here has probably alerted others."
Now it's probably too late to say goodbye to Chu Yan. The only thing he's thankful for is that he's all alone. In name, Chu Chu Yan has no relation to him anymore, and his actions won't implicate her.
Just then, an even more terrifying pressure descended: "Trying to leave?"
Zu An's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly turned around to look. He saw a figure in a dragon robe standing on the roof. Who else could it be but the emperor?
"How could it be him!" Zu An felt a chill in his heart. It was all over. Although he had an indomitable spirit, he was also self-aware. He needed time to grow. The gap between him and the emperor was too great.
The emperor scanned the entire area and saw the embroidered-robed envoys scattered all over the ground, especially the corpse of Zhu Xie Chixin. He was furious: "How dare you betray me! I will have you executed by slow slicing!"
After saying that, he raised his hand, and at the same time, a huge phantom hand appeared in the air and pressed down.
Zuan and Yun Yuqing suddenly felt short of breath. They tried to escape but were restrained. The terrifying pressure made them completely despair.
Yun Yuqing looked at him sadly: "Grandpa, give up. The emperor is the most powerful man in the world. No matter how much we resist, it's useless. My only consolation is that I can die with you. We may not share the same bed in life, but we will be buried together in death. I have no regrets in this life. On the road to the underworld, you must hold my hand tightly and try to be a true husband and wife in the next life..."
Zuan frowned. He had felt something was amiss from the very beginning, but he hadn't had time to think about it. Now, imprisoned by this terrifying pressure, in his last moments before death, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He abruptly raised his head, completely ignoring the giant hand about to descend, and looked at the man in the dragon robe high in the sky: "You are not the emperor!"
Then he slapped Yun Yuqing, who was clinging tightly to his arm.
