Chapter 1454 Kill Them! And Spare No One

“Moon Empress!”

Someone pounded his chest and stamped his feet, crying in grief.

“You can’t just watch us die! We’re all your brothers who fought for you!”

Many of the weaker subordinates shouted, “Moon Empress, hand it over! Hurry up and hand over that Exotic Beast. Is it more important than our lives?”

“Moon Empress, stop being so selfish!”

Many high-position officials said via Designated Voice-transmitting Technique, “Moon Empress, don’t hand it over in such a hurry. Before you do it, you must ensure everyone’s safety.”

“It’s better to do it after all of us leave, or make the Fifth Heavenly King make an oath.”

“Our lives are in grave danger. You have to hand it over. You must be clear about the current situation.”

“…”

In the face of so many voices, Zi Yan was quite helpless at this time.

But there were also a small number of people who were silent.

For example, Ke Zhan had been silent the whole time. When the ten minutes given by the Fifth Heavenly King were about to end, Ke Zhan said, “Moon Empress, ever since the Ke family and I followed you, we have witnessed and even created many miracles. We have no regrets about this and respect your choice.”

Ten minutes had passed.

The Fifth Heavenly King shook his head slightly and said, “It seems that your dear Moon Empress doesn’t care about your life and death.”

“Haha.” Emperor Ao behind him laughed coldly and said, “They’re just a mob. Do they really think they’re working for a wise ruler? And a woman at that?”

“Hand it over.”

The Fifth Heavenly King moved, and endless pressure spread out. It seemed that he was going to take action in person.

“Even if I die, you can’t get it.” Zi Yan’s voice was a little sad, and what she said instantly stopped the pace of the Fifth Heavenly King.

There was a trace of gloom in his eyes.

He was really afraid of this. He didn’t want to have his time wasted.

“Humph!”

The Fifth Heavenly King snorted coldly and unleashed his full power at the Last Stage of the Mastery Realm, unleashing a thousand-meter-tall palm strike.

Rumble!

With a single move, over ten thousand people died.

The hearts of the people watching from the side went cold, as though a great chill had spread from their backs to their entire bodies.

“Zi Yue!”

Someone cursed, “You really are a selfish person. Even if I die and become a ghost, I’ll keep haunting you!”

“Damn it. You don’t care at all about us. I can’t wait to kill you!”

“Fifth Heavenly King, this has nothing to do with us. Please show mercy. We can help you catch Purple Moon. Don’t kill us!”

“…”

Emperor Ao clapped his hands. “Interesting, really interesting. Purple Moon, what are you still pretending for? Hurry up and do as you’re told!”

The Fifth Heavenly King calmed down and said with a faint smile, “Tell me, what can I do to make you hand it over? Spare your men?”

As soon as he said that, Emperor Ao’s face slightly changed.

“If these people are spared, wouldn’t this live stream be in vain?”

Just now, he had diverted his attention to observe the live broadcast. There were a lot of viewers, and many of them were from noble families. When they saw the situation on the screen, most of them were happy to discuss it and watch the fun. They were all onlookers. Many of them were shocked by the Blackhill Empire and started to reevaluate its strength. But if Emperor Ao and his men let go of the people of Purple Moon in the end, the effect would be greatly reduced.

In the face of the Fifth Heavenly King’s question, Zi Yan was silent for a long time.

There seemed to be tens of thousands of people around talking.

“This is such a mess!

“What should I do?”

Zi Yan’s breathing quickened a little, and she finally compromised, “Let them go first. I’ll stay here. Until they’re safe…”

“I think you’re mistaken. Hand the Roc over and you’ll be safe. If you don’t, they’ll all die slowly,” the Fifth Heavenly King teased.

If he let them go, it would be a waste of time if she ended up killing herself.

If he kept these people, he could use them to restrict her and threaten her.

Zi Yan had also thought of this.

In the current situation, the Fifth Heavenly King would not hurt her high-position officials for the time being. Some unimportant subordinates were his targets to start the killing.

“I’ll give you half an hour. If you don’t hand the Roc over, I’ll kill half of you. If you do, I might let you go if I’m in a good mood,” the Fifth Heavenly King said lightly.

His words made the people on Zi Yan’s side fall silent.

They felt like they were in a dilemma.

The Fifth Heavenly King was so terrifying that no one dared to resist while being pressed by his might.

Even before they came to this planet, many people were fantasizing about whether there would be an undiscovered secret realm on this planet that they could go to other places through its exit.

However, that was almost impossible. They had to face the cruel reality.

Without any chance to escape, they had to face the Fifth Heavenly King here head-on.

Half an hour passed by in a flash.

“I’ll now kill half of you. Let me see where to start.”

The eyes of the Fifth Heavenly King flashed with a cold light. Wherever his gaze passed, those who were scanned felt a chill all over and were scared out of their wits.

“There’s no need to do this. If I do not wish to hand the Roc over, it would be useless no matter how many people you kill.”

Zi Yan exhaled and said, “Let them go. I’ll stay here alone.”

“Let them go?” The Fifth Heavenly King sneered. “Maybe you’ve hidden the Roc in someone else’s body and want to take advantage of the chaos to get away. I’m telling you, if you don’t hand it over, no one can leave.”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Zi Yan’s men finally understood the Fifth Heavenly King’s stand.

They couldn’t help but turn pale.

It turned out that the Fifth Heavenly King had never thought of letting anyone go.

“There’s, there’s still a way!”

An old man not far away from Zi Yan said, “We’ll go back to the fleets. You can seal off the space. When Moon Empress hands over the Roc, you can release us, right?”

“This is also a good idea!”

Another high-level official shouted, “Fifth Heavenly King, you should think about it. We also want Zi Yue to give the Roc to you, but she doesn’t listen to me at all!”

“Hmm?”

The Fifth Heavenly King laughed and waved to the two high-position officials who had spoken. “You’re not bad. Do you want to live?”

“Yes!”

The two men answered.

Who would want to die if they were able to survive?

“Kill two companions to show your determination.” The Fifth Heavenly King’s expression was calm.

Hiss!

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the others changed slightly. The two men reacted fast and pulled out their long swords in an instant.

With a flash of light, they killed five or six people around them in a row. The two of them quickly rose into the air.

Seeing that the other experts were about to attack them, the two of them shouted angrily, “We’re carrying out orders in the name of the Fifth Heavenly King. Anyone who dares to stop us will be killed!”

The sound waves surged. The others stopped to attack these two.

The Fifth Heavenly King seemed to be interested, so he glanced around and said, “Who else is the same?”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Countless people broke out in a cold sweat as they looked at the people around them and felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.

Some stayed in groups of three to five, while some were alone, not allowing anyone to get close.

Even so, the scene went chaotic.

Many people tried to kill the ones around them without hesitation.

Gradually, more and more people rose into the air.

Zi Yan closed her eyes when she saw this scene.

Ke Zhan let out a deep sigh.

He was well aware that even if they made it through this crisis, the Purple Moon Empire would still cease to exist.

When the number of people who flew into the air reached a thousand, the Fifth Heavenly King flicked his sleeve.

“Although I have a notorious reputation, I disdain people like you. You shall die now.”

Clatter!

A red cloud appeared, covering the 1,000 people. When the blood-red cloud dissipated, not even a bone of these people was left.

Many of the Purple Moon Empire’s subordinates below felt a chill run down their spines.

It was as if whatever they did, they would still be killed.

What could they do to survive?

The chances were very slim.

They were at a loss.

“What game are we going to play next?”

The Fifth Heavenly King clapped his hands and pondered as if he was thinking about how to play. At the same time, he jokingly said, “There’s plenty of time. We can play slowly.”

At this time, the live broadcast was going on. Although the audience couldn’t see the scene clearly, countless people couldn’t help expressing their thoughts, “The Fifth Heavenly King of the Sacred Wolf Mountain is simply too savage.”

“I don’t know what the Fifth Heavenly King will do next.”

“I feel that the people of the Purple Moon Empire have all become toys that can be manipulated by the Fifth Heavenly King at will.”

“Eh? Why is the signal cut off? Is the connection not stable?”

Sizzle!

A lot of people who were watching the live broadcast suddenly found that the screen was flashing.

It seemed that something was interfering, or it was getting close to weakening the signal.

“I got it!”

The Fifth Heavenly King finally made up his mind.

He chuckled and said, “Moon Empress of the Purple Moon Empire is a woman. It’s just that no one has seen her face, including you high-position officials. Whoever takes off her black robe so that I can take a look at her will be able to survive. Only one person gets to be spared. I mean it this time. You have 10 minutes to do it. Cherish the opportunity. Whoever succeeds can leave directly.”

Swoosh!

Many people’s expressions changed.

“Can I really get to live? Is this the chance to live in a desperate situation?”

Clang!

Ke Zhan drew out his long sword in anger. “I’ll see who dares to do this! Don’t forget how many resources Moon Empress gave you!”

“Ke Zhan, Ke Zhan! Do you really think you’re a piece of cake? Who do you think you are? How dare you talk nonsense here?” An elder spoke with a grim voice.

The Fifth Heavenly King withdrew his palm. When he heard what Ke Zhan said, he almost took action.

It could be said that Ke Zhan had been close to death.

“Moon Empress. This would be the last time I address you this way.”

A square-faced middle-aged man said in a deep voice, “The game of the Fifth Heavenly King is very simple, isn’t it? Even if you are ugly, it’s not shameful for you to be seen by others. Now there is a chance to live. I hope that you can make the right choice and have someone take off your black robe.”

“Hahaha.”

Seeing this, Emperor Ao of the Blackhill Empire burst out laughing. “Whoever takes off her black robe will be spared by the Fifth Heavenly King. But if anyone can strip Purple Moon, I will give him a million crystal stones!”

It was an insult. He wanted to humiliate the Purple Moon Empire.

“You’re just a dog relying on your master’s power!”

Zi Yan suddenly raised her head, looked at the place where Emperor Ao was, and said coldly, “Fifth Heavenly King, take good care of your dog. Also, you don’t have to play these low-level and bad games.”

“Are you mad?” The Fifth Heavenly King waved his hands and said, “Calm down. Let’s discuss this.”

His tone was indifferent. As if he were a god on the field, his lofty posture was fully displayed.

“If you do not wish to continue, then hand the Roc over. I will spare your life. What do you think?”

Everyone could tell that the Fifth Heavenly King was toying with them.

Zi Yan went silent again. She was very powerless.

Swoosh!

Right at this moment, the roar of breaking through the sound barrier suddenly sounded.

A dark shadow was approaching Zi Yan at an extremely fast speed.

“How dare you!”

Ke Zhan and the other seven or eight men were filled with killing intent as they attacked one after another.

But the old man who made the move, despite his serious injury, broke through their attacks and came to Zi Yan.

Clatter!

Zi Yan made a move with anger. She turned sideways and slapped horizontally.

Right at this moment-

Buzz!

A piece of her sleeve was ripped off, revealing her fair palm.

At the same time, Zi Yan’s attack also landed on the man.

Poof!

He couldn’t resist the energy of the Sea Moon Fan at all and was sent flying backward. During this period, he spat out a lot of blood.

When he fell to the ground, he covered his chest, looked at Zi Yan unwillingly, and said with resentment, “You, you could have not done this! Why couldn’t you achieve my aim?! I hate you!”

After that, he died.

His cultivation at the Void-refining Realm Early Stage could not withstand Zi Yan’s full-strength attack at all.

However, Zi Yan was shocked and angry about his attack.

“Fifth Heavenly King!”

Zi Yan seemed to be having a hard time.

There was a glimmer of light on her exposed hand, but her real hand gradually faded.

“Don’t be so agitated. If you die, all of them will die with you. Only if you don’t die will they have a chance to survive. My first request is to take off your black robe and kneel before me with your Original Body,” the Fifth Heavenly King said flatly.

The Blackhill Empire’s Emperor Ao lowered his head and asked, “Fifth Heavenly King, I can see that she is unwilling to obey. Why don’t I help?”

His appearance showed that he was a loyal follower of the Fifth Heavenly King.

The Fifth Heavenly King glanced at him and waved his hand slightly.

“Hahaha.”

The aura of the Emperor Ao of the Blackhill Empire had finally been revealed. After all, he was in the Integration Realm and had some strength.

He stepped in midair and walked toward Zi Yan step by step.

“Moon Empress, I’ve long heard that your strength is not bad. Today, I’ll spar with you. If you win, then I have nothing to say. But if you lose, I’ll make you kneel naked and worship the Fifth Heavenly King!”

Emperor Ao’s goal was very clear. He wanted to ruthlessly humiliate Moon Empress. The more miserable she was, the sharper the Blackhill Empire would appear.

“A battle between the two Imperial Lords. Not bad.” A hint of interest flashed across the face of the Fifth Heavenly King as he added, “I will kill whoever dares to interfere.”

“You’ve gone too far!”

Ke Zhan gritted his teeth.

“Guys, stay out of this.”

Zi Yan took a deep breath and clenched her fists.

Before Emperor Ao could get close, she made more than a dozen Sea Moon Fan attacks powerfully.

Multicolored light burst out.

The energy that was difficult to defend against made Emperor Ao’s eyes narrow.

But after they exchanged hundreds of moves, he found that the Moon Empress below seemed to only know this move.

“There’s nothing else you can do?”

Emperor Ao sneered. He levitated in the air, looking relaxed.

Swoosh!

Another round of attacks swept across the place.

It was filled with boundless power.

These attacks seemed to have broken through the stage of the Void-refining Realm.

Emperor Ao was under a lot of pressure, and his scalp went numb.

In the face of Emperor Ao’s thousands of Five-star Darts, Zi Yan launched more than a dozen energy attacks to counter them.

“You’ve been tricked.”

The frequency of attacks between people at the Integration Realm was so high that Zi Yan was not used to it.

Emperor Ao should have been attacked, but he showed a disdainful smile.

The thousands of darts that flew dozens of meters in front of Zi Yan were all shining. They were connected into threads and formed a high-end formation.

Buzz!

As if leaping through space, Emperor Ao’s figure crossed the void and instantly came to a distance of dozens of meters in front of Zi Yan.

To a Dao Seeking Cultivator, the distance of tens of meters was very short.

“Hahaha.”

Emperor Ao had an arrogant smile on his face.

Clatter!

The hearts of Ke Zhan and the others skipped a beat.

“Shit!”

“Watch out!”

Someone cried out in alarm.

Although most of Zi Yan’s loyal subordinates, such as Ke Zhan, had remained silent, their expressions changed drastically at this time. Some of them even wanted to step forward to stop Emperor Ao.

But they were too late.

“How dare you!”

Ke Zhan drew out his broadsword and was about to slash forward, and the broadsword light pointed at Emperor Ao, who was two meters away from Zi Yan.

He had a slight chance that he could stop Emperor Ao.

But there was no way that Emperor Ao in the Integration Realm would possibly allow them to succeed.

“Who dares to stop me?

“Hahaha!”

Emperor Ao’s arrogant voice spread out, and the void was filled with the shadows he left due to his fast speed.

In Zi Yan’s eyes, all of this seemed to have slowed down, and even her movements were slow.

She subconsciously raised her hand and was about to attack.

But she couldn’t raise her hand because she was too slow.

She slowly closed her eyes.

Her mind was filled with the figures of Zhang Han and Mengmeng, who were the most important people to her.

“Honey, I think… I can no longer wait until you come here.”

She felt very sad and painful.

Ke Zhan and the others were staring with wide eyes at this moment.

Because they noticed that the figure, who seemed to be hiding in the void, had already come to a distance of ten meters from Zi Yan.

At this moment, Ke Zhan’s broadsword light was about to strike.

But it was too late.

It would be too late for the broadsword light to get to Emperor Ao.

At the most critical moment-

Poof!

A dull sound suddenly resounded through the entire field.

A red mist suddenly formed a few meters in front of Zi Yan.

Was that a wave of blood?

According to the shape of the blood mist, Zi Yan might be sprayed all over her.

However, it seemed that there was a figure in her direction that blocked the blood mist.

“What’s that?

“What trick is Emperor Ao playing?”

At this moment, everyone present was a little confused.

But in the next second, a black-clothed figure slowly appeared a few meters away from Moon Empress.

When the blood mist dissipated, Emperor Ao was no longer in the field.

All the people, including the Fifth Heavenly King, were stunned when they saw this shocking scene.

“What’s going on?

“Did Emperor Ao just replace himself?”

Just when everyone was in a state of shock, a trembling voice with self-blame and heartache came from the side of the black-robed man.

“Dear, I… I’m late.”

The person who came was naturally Zhang Han, who rushed over.

Even though he had a lot of things to say, he didn’t know what to say at this moment.

Rumble!

Zi Yan’s body trembled violently.

She instantly raised her head and stared blankly at the man in front of her, whom she had been thinking about day and night.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

After ten seconds, a voice came under the Moon Empress’s black robe.

“Why are you here so late?”

Swoosh!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Moon Empress in the black robe threw herself into the man’s arms and cried.

“I’m sorry I’m late. This is not what I wanted.” Zhang Han’s voice was full of bitterness.

“Don’t say… you’re sorry. What’s the use of being sorry? I’ve been bullied.”

She kept crying like a delicate girl.

As she complained, her heart was filled with warmth.

With the arrival of her dearest backing, she no longer needed to pretend to be strong.

“It’s all right now.”

Zhang Han held her tightly in his arms and said in a soft tone, “I’m here. Everything’s fine now…”

Hiss!

The people around Zi Yan were all stunned.

Ke Zhan and the others were overjoyed, but at the same time, they were confused.

They had never seen Moon Empress like this.

The key was that her husband was here.

“Hold on a second!”

“Where’s Emperor Ao?”

Some of the high-position officials of the Blackhill Empire noticed Emperor Ao’s disappearance.

“He’s dead.”

One of the Fifth Heavenly King’s men reminded them.

“What did you say?!”

Only then did they realize that their Emperor Ao had been killed.

For a moment, they were all in a daze.

They had come to suppress the Purple Moon Empire, and it was about to be destroyed. However, Emperor Ao, the leader on the victory side, was now dead. They couldn’t believe it.

“Hmm?”

The Fifth Heavenly King raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhang Han in surprise. He didn’t find anything unusual, so he couldn’t help but start pondering.

Most importantly, not even he was able to see how that man had appeared.

“Is he a big shot?”

The Fifth Heavenly King thought for a second. He didn’t care about the life and death of Emperor Ao at all. After thinking for a while, he planned to test Zhang Han’s strength first.

“May I know who you are?” the Fifth Heavenly King asked.

His tone was no longer as indifferent as before, but a little more dignified.

However, Zhang Han didn’t answer him and even ignored him.

Under the gazes of tens of thousands of people, the man slightly tilted his head. His eyes seemed to be full of anger.

He said in an utterly cold tone, “Kill them!

“And spare no one.”
