Chapter 1397: The Shocking Battle (8)
January 31, 2018
Beyond the World, Xianyang Demon City, Outside Afang Palace!
As Lu Hai Kong violently smashed the Niren Ding into Afang Palace, a sneaky figure appeared behind him, blocking Xu Fu's astonishing finger strike.
Xu Fu's face finally changed upon seeing the sneaky figure, and a hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes: "It's you! You're still alive!"
"No, there's something off about your aura. It bears heavy traces of the Entity."
Xu Fu blurted out two sentences that Lu Hai Kong couldn't understand at this moment. Although the words were incomprehensible, they hinted at something else.
One, Xu Fu had previously interacted with this sneaky old man, and two, this sneaky old man had an inseparable connection with the system.
In fact, Lu Hai Kong was well aware of this.
Even before the invasion of the Beyond, Lu Hai Kong had known the true identity of this sneaky old man, which was twofold. He was one of the Three Immortals of the Han Dynasty's end in the Three Kingdoms world, Zuo Ci, and also an agent of the system.
Zuo Ci's birth and death dates are unknown, and in this world, he is set as a person from the era of Emperor Wu of Han.
In other words, during the reign of Emperor Wu, there was also a Zuo Ci, but he was killed by Xu Fu during the invasion from Beyond.
This wouldn't have been a problem, but the Zuo Ci from the Three Kingdoms world unexpectedly gained the memories of the Zuo Ci from Emperor Wu's era.
A being with strength beyond the system's permissible range had obtained memories he shouldn't have, so the system found him and forcibly turned him into its agent.
In essence, he was almost like the GM of this system.
This was Lu Hai Kong's current understanding of the sneaky old man before him. There were still many things this old man hadn't told him, but Lu Hai Kong could guess that his crossing over might be related to this old man. However, it was clear that now wasn't the time to consider such matters.
"Hey, kid! I can only act for thirty minutes. After that, the Entity will notice. If you have something to do, you'd better hurry."
"Thirty minutes? That's more than enough!"
Lu Hai Kong focused his attention, and with a slight lift of his lips, he leaped down into Afang Palace.
As Lu Hai Kong jumped down, Xu Fu on the other side raised his hand, intending to do something, but the old man named Wang had already intercepted him...
...
Inside Afang Palace, after Lu Hai Kong's leap, he no longer paid attention to the situation outside. All his concentration was focused on the palace.
Due to Lu Hai Kong's external attack on Afang Palace, the formation originally arranged by Qin Shi Huang had been disrupted. The black mist that once filled the palace had also dissipated significantly. At the very least, Lu Hai Kong could now see without using the Heavenly Eye Technique.
However, Lu Hai Kong seemed to have arrived a bit late. When he entered Afang Palace, he saw corpses everywhere!
Those kings who once held the lives of hundreds of millions of beings in their hands before the invasion from Beyond were now slaughtered like weeds.
Of course, Lu Hai Kong's attention at this moment wasn't on these corpses.
Upon entering Afang Palace, Lu Hai Kong sensed a brewing energy within.
However, what was strange was...
The formation was broken, but Lu Hai Kong still couldn't detect the presence of Qin Shi Huang at this moment.
At the same time, in a corner of Afang Palace, a massive black dragon was coiled around several figures, shrinking in size.
At this very moment, the three figures entangled by the black dragon were Emperor Gaozu of Han, Xiang Yu of Western Chu, and Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuang Yin.
These three were among the most formidable rulers, and it seemed that Qin Shi Huang had encountered some difficulty in dealing with them, as they had not been completely subdued yet.
Despite this, the situation for Liu Bang and his companions was dire.
Even a powerful figure like Xiang Yu had reached a dead end, as the dragon qi was being continuously absorbed by the black dragon in large amounts.
In truth, Xiang Yu and the others should not have been so easily subdued by Qin Shi Huang.
Strength is one thing, but being able to demonstrate it is another. With Qin Shi Huang's meticulous preparations, they had fallen into a trap, and even with their incredible abilities, they had no chance of escape.
However, despite having complete control over the various rulers and with the devouring almost complete, Qin Shi Huang was extremely tense.
As the devouring neared its end, this was the moment he least wanted to encounter Lu Hai Kong. If interrupted now, he feared not only failure but also significant losses. And just then, Lu Hai Kong entered, which was a critical moment for him.
So, he could only hide cautiously in the corner, doing his utmost to devour and refine Xiang Yu and the others.
He was like a mouse hiding in the shadows, an unprecedented experience for Qin Shi Huang, and it filled him with a sense of humiliation and murderous intent!
Please... You... Collect... Six... Nine... Book... Bar...
"Give me just a moment, and I will succeed!"
Qin Shi Huang silently prayed, his attention divided between his task and Lu Hai Kong, hoping the latter wouldn't notice him.
His prayers seemed to work, as he heard footsteps moving away.
Qin Shi Huang breathed a sigh of relief, but at that moment, Xiang Yu, bound by him, flashed with determination in his eyes. His muscles bulged, and the inner power within him surged towards his dantian.
The rebellion in his body granted Xiang Yu a moment of freedom.
"Here!"
A deafening roar echoed, causing Qin Shi Huang to hesitate for a moment before erupting in fury.
The massive black dragon let out an angry roar, its body coiling tightly, and in an instant, it unleashed its ferocious power, crushing the three figures it had entangled.
As the three figures were destroyed, three massive streams of dragon qi burst forth.
The black dragon opened its mouth to devour the dragon qi, but Lu Hai Kong was quicker.
The phantom of the Niren Ding flashed and struck the black dragon.
Lu Hai Kong's body glowed with purple-golden light, and in a single step, he reached the three streams of dragon qi, absorbing them into his body.
Witnessing this, Qin Shi Huang completely lost control.
"Lu Hai Kong, I will make you pay with your life!"
Accompanied by an angry roar, an overwhelming and boundless aura, reminiscent of Xu Fu's, surged from Qin Shi Huang's body...
