Chapter 158 Relics of the Old Era

Just as Qi Wu was about to give a portion of food to Shi Yu, he saw the guokui (a type of flatbread) in Shi Yu's hand.

"You brought some food, kid?"

"Boss, didn't you tell me to go and prepare some food?"

"Didn't we tell you that your sister-in-law prepared enough for the four of us?"

"No, I thought I had to prepare it myself, so I went outside and bought some of this to make food."

Qi Wu looked at Da Niu, Da Niu glanced at Li Shun, and then Li Shun glanced at Da Niu again.

Then, after a while, it turned out that everyone had forgotten about it and hadn't told Shigure, which resulted in an extra serving of food.

"Don't waste it, you eat it."

"You can finish it."

After Shi Yu shared some more guokui with Da Fu, she accepted the food handed to her by Qi Wu. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they arrived in front of Xianyang Palace.

Qi Wu switched his weapon to the long blade that the giant ape used to wield. For that four- or five-meter-tall giant ape, this long blade was something that could be wielded with one hand, but for Qi Wu, it was definitely a giant sword.

But for Qi Wu, it only requires holding it with both hands, so it doesn't actually have much of an impact.

After Shi Yu used her abilities to repair the longsword, she made a sheath for Qi Wu to carry on his back. Looking at the tightly locked, mottled palace gate, Qi Wu, Da Fu, and Da Niu worked together to smash it open.

Without lingering, the group headed straight for the main hall.

A flash of cold light and the tightly locked door was smashed open. Everyone looked at the dust-filled hall and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Shi Yu raised her hand, and a vortex of wind instantly appeared in the center of her palm.

Shigure used her ability to gather all the smoke and dust together and then threw it out, allowing her to see the scene inside the main hall clearly.

Everything was dilapidated, exuding a strong sense of time.

But the dragon throne still exuded an aura that was out of place with its surroundings, just like a new dragon throne.

A person dressed in a black dragon robe sat on the dragon throne, and everyone basically guessed who that person was.

"First Emperor, it's time to end all the sins you've committed."

Qi Wu stepped forward, blocking the crowd.

"Research into forbidden methods of immortality led to the emergence of immortal monstrous beings in the world, nearly causing havoc."

"You are indeed a great emperor throughout history, but you should also pay the price for your actions."

"Is this how you speak to me?"

"Who are you to tell me what to do? Aren't you afraid I'll take your head and exterminate your entire family?"

"Guards, seize these treacherous officials!"

Soon, a group of people dressed in black armor rushed out from around the main hall, but Shigure had already imbued the power of the Flame Demon God Diagram into his sword. After drawing the sword, his figure instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning.

Before the hunters could react, Shigure had already captured them, even picking out and killing the dragon centipedes inside their bodies.

Shigure performed a sword flourish, wiped the blood off the blade, and then sheathed it.

"Don't bring out relics from the old era and embarrass yourself."

"Look what you've done!"

Shi Yu pointed to the fallen crowd and said.

"Their lifespans should have long since faded away in the river of time, and they have been reincarnated countless times."

"But because of your selfish desire for immortality, they are unable to live or die, and can only be transformed into these dazed monsters, forever trapped in this dark and sunless underground palace."

"Fortunately, someone came to their senses and sealed the main gate, choosing to keep watch outside with the key to prevent you immortal creatures from escaping."

"You deserve to die."

"presumptuous!"

The First Emperor slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly. His eyes, hidden behind the beaded curtain, had become a mixture of scarlet and pale.

"What wrong have I done? And what right do you have to criticize me?"

"I could very well kill you today."

"Black Dragon Army! Attack!"

"We must capture these traitors today! We must restore peace to the land!"

After saying this, the First Emperor opened a box on his desk and took out a knife from it.

The First Emperor drew his long sword, its scarlet blade radiating a red aura, like the aura of blood.

At this moment, countless black-armored men rushed out from inside and outside the hall, enveloping the hunters.

"Boss, I'll hold this guy off for now."

"You guys hurry up and clear out the soldiers, then come help me."

"good!"

The nine hunters instantly entered their evolved armor state and began fighting against the Black Dragon Army.

After reading the paper left by Liu Bowen and the information left on the murals on the outer wall, Shi Yu knew that this was one of the two Undying Blades.

But Shigure didn't know which one it was, and didn't know whether this Immortal Blade was for the Tear of the Goddess or the Gate Opener.

If it's a tearful farewell, that's fine, but if it's an open door, then there's really no chance of a fight.

After all, that thing can open the gates of hell and summon the dead to fight on their own. Once a whole truckload of bread-men arrives, even Shigure in his Remnant Fire mech will have a very difficult time dealing with it.

The First Emperor strode past the documents on the desk, grabbed the red Immortal Blade in his hand, and charged toward Shigure.

Shigure did not choose to use the Remnant Fire Mech to fight, because he knew that the Remnant Fire Mech had no advantage whatsoever against weapons with special effects.

The sheer size of the machine also increased the probability of being hit; after all, being slashed by the Mortal Blade is no joke.

Meanwhile, the Ace of Spades inside Shigure looked at the Mortal Blade in the First Emperor's hand and felt it looked increasingly familiar. So it entered Shigure's consciousness space and condensed its own body.

The Ace of Spades summoned his Blade, then split the blade in two and stacked the two halves together.

The two blades merged together, eventually forming a long sword with a lotus-shaped guard.

If Shigure were here, he would definitely recognize that the sword in the Ace of Spades' hand is exactly the same as the Mortal Blade in the First Emperor's hand, except that the sword in the Ace of Spades' hand has a stronger aura.

"I knew it! That's why my Blade was lost and why I can't find it again."

"So you guys took it and made this kind of thing..."

After looking at the red Mortal Blade, the Ace of Spades threw away the sword in his hand and said...

"But it's not bad, at least it didn't soil my things."

Shigure fought the First Emperor to a standstill with his Eight-Sword Breaking Blade and Queen of Spades, but he could only prevent the red blade from falling on him by using his substitute puppet and puppet puppet.

After all, Shigure clearly saw that his ghost puppet died the moment it touched the red blade, and even summoning it again was impossible; he had to make a new one.

"Damn it, I can't find a flaw..."

"Yanyun, the program is overloaded! Increase the computing power to the trillions level!"

"I refuse to believe he won't reveal a flaw today."

Shi Yu's eyes on the bridge of her nose felt slightly hot, which was a sign that the overloaded program was making overload predictions.

With computing power in the billions, Yanyun can calculate trillions of possible battles per second, frantically calculating the First Emperor's next move, trying to find a flaw in it.
