Chapter 1315: Qin Shi Huang's Arrival
Chapter 1315: Qin Shi Huang's Arrival
December 19, 2017
Youzhou, Lingzhi City!
On the third day of Meng Tian's occupation of Lingzhi City, his army, which had been quiet since the occupation, sprang into action, clearing out a central area within the city.
After clearing the area, Meng Tian and Meng Chao stationed their troops there, eagerly awaiting their master like loyal dogs.
Qin Shi Huang's arrival was not a grand spectacle, and he didn't keep Meng Tian waiting for long. About an hour after the area was cleared, a black dot appeared in the empty space.
The black dot rapidly expanded, and within a few minutes, it grew from the size of a grain of rice into an exquisite black gateway.
"Buzz!"
As the black gateway materialized, the intensely dark sky over Lingzhi City was momentarily pushed aside by a force, and at almost the same moment, a purple cloud appeared.
With a sizzling sound, the purple cloud trembled, and a purple lightning bolt descended, striking directly towards the black gateway!
Just as the lightning bolt was about to hit the gateway, a black dragon aura blocked its path, followed by a haughty voice.
"I haven't even made my entrance yet, and you're already making such a fuss?"
Accompanying the haughty voice, several figures appeared outside the black gateway, and upon seeing one particular figure, Meng Tian immediately prostrated himself in reverence.
"Your Majesty!"
A loud rustling sound filled the air as tens of thousands of soldiers in the area knelt in perfect unison.
However, at this moment, Qin Shi Huang paid no heed to these formalities, for above his head, another purple lightning bolt was about to strike.
This time, Qin Shi Huang's black dragon aura was completely ineffective, and the purple lightning bolt effortlessly pierced through it, striking his body.
Surprisingly, despite being hit by the purple lightning, Qin Shi Huang suffered no harm.
The reason was simple: the purple lightning wasn't meant to kill Qin Shi Huang; it was a messenger of information.
If Qin Shi Huang were an extraordinary person, he would have heard a voice in his mind at this moment.
[You have entered the Three Kingdoms World with dangerous items and are subject to system punishment!]
[Your Black Dragon Aura has protected you, and you have received a system punishment exemption!]
[You have been granted a system punishment exemption, and you may stay in the Three Kingdoms World for ten days. Please ensure that you and your army leave within this period!]
Of course, Qin Shi Huang was not an extraordinary person, so the information he received was not in this exact format, but the meaning was similar.
It could be said that Qin Shi Huang was given a stern warning by the system right from the start. One could only imagine how displeased he was at this moment.
"I had suspected that it would target me, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly!"
In truth, Qin Shi Huang wasn't overly concerned about the system's ten-day limit. In his opinion, a mere local tyrant in the Three Kingdoms World was no match for him, and he wouldn't need ten days to defeat them.
What truly irked him was the feeling of life and death being in the hands of the system, as demonstrated by the lightning strike.
However, Qin Shi Huang chose to remain silent at this time, though he inwardly vowed to suppress the system when he became more powerful.
On the system's end, after confirming that Qin Shi Huang had received the message, the purple cloud also dissipated.
The Sword of Damocles that hung over Qin Shi Huang's head disappeared, and his expression gradually softened a little. However, his mood was destined to remain gloomy for the day.
Just as Qin Shi Huang's mood brightened, suddenly, five crossbow arrows shot from the city wall, aimed directly at him!
A fierce Martial Dao sound tore through the air, causing Meng Tian's face to change drastically.
He didn't think that these mere five arrows could harm Qin Shi Huang. He simply didn't want such a farce to occur in front of the Emperor.
Before Qin Shi Huang could react, Meng Tian sprang into action.
With a swift movement, he waved the sword in his hand, deflecting the five arrows back. In an instant, the five Fire Battalion members who had fired the arrows were taken out by the rebounding arrows.
However, this attack didn't end there. The Fire Battalion members were determined, and this wouldn't be as simple as a fizzled attempt.
The next moment, a section of the city's defenses rotated towards Qin Shi Huang.
Pseudo-legendary crossbows and ballistas were activated simultaneously. In the blink of an eye, meter-long arrows and three-meter-wide boulders rained down on Qin Shi Huang.
"Protect the Emperor!"
Meng Chao's face paled, and he immediately ordered the guards to protect the Emperor.
But what shocked Meng Chao even more was that, as he gave the order, at least seven layers of his soldiers drew their weapons and charged towards Qin Shi Huang. Among them were members of the Meng clan, including his own son.
Seeing this, Meng Chao was utterly devastated. He roared in anger, "Stop, all of you, stop! Do you know what you're doing? He is the First Emperor, our master whom the Meng clan has served loyally for generations..."
Before Meng Chao could finish, a spear pierced through his chest with a 'puchi' sound. The attacker was Meng Qu.
"He is not my master. My master is Prince Lu Hai Kong of Jin!"
As he spoke, Meng Qu withdrew the spear from Meng Chao's chest and tossed him aside like garbage. Turning his gaze towards Qin Shi Huang, Meng Qu's body erupted with crimson flames.
These crimson flames were a Martial Dao technique popularized by the Fire Battalion, one that consumed the user's life force. It was the only technique that Lu Hai Kong had hesitated to implement within the Fire Battalion.
Once this technique was activated, one's strength would surge, but it also meant a life-or-death situation.
With his enhanced strength, Meng Qu brandished his spear, pointing it at Qin Shi Huang, and said coldly, "The one who kills you is Meng Qu, a captain of the Second Legion under Prince Lu Hai Kong!"
As he spoke, a terrifying aura surged, and Meng Qu charged towards Qin Shi Huang, his spear slicing through the air, aiming for the Emperor's throat.
The speed of his sudden attack was so great that even Meng Tian, standing nearby, couldn't react in time. Of course, Meng Tian, who had defended against the arrows and boulders, had no intention of intervening. It wasn't necessary for him to do so.
Meng Qu, determined to die, reached Qin Shi Huang in an instant. And then... nothing happened.
If it were that easy to kill Qin Shi Huang, he would have died countless times in the Beyond-World.
A cold-faced man beside Qin Shi Huang had already crushed Meng Qu's heart before he even got close.
