Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

Chapter 137 The Secret Realm is Broken

Jing Shu was unarmed and had Han Luo by his side. He didn't intend to fight the group of generals head-on. While the generals were shocked by the news brought by Tian Xun and the others, he put his arm around Han Luo's waist and led him away from the encirclement.

As soon as Jing Shu set off, Tian Xin gripped the silver weapon in her hand and rushed forward, aiming straight at Shi Chuan!

Although Tianxin sometimes swoons over Shichuan, she always knows that they are adversaries, and when the time comes, Tianxin will never hesitate to take action!

Shi Chuan sensed the killing intent and snapped back to his senses, but Tian Xin was already close enough that he could only dodge to the side to avoid vital points. The silver weapon pierced Shi Chuan's body hard.

"Brother!" Shi Ye, who was being held down by Jing Shu's men, roared in anguish, wishing he could rush forward to protect Shi Chuan, but in reality, he was being held down by the soldiers and could not move.

Shi Chuan showed no sign of pain. Before Tian Xin could pull out the silverware, he kicked her away, sending her crashing straight into a pillar.

Before he could crash into the pillar, Tianyang saved him. When Tianyang looked up at Shichuan again, his eyes were filled with murderous intent. However, without Jingshu's orders, Tianyang did not make a move.

From Tianxin's initiative to Shichuan's counterattack, the entire process took only a blink of an eye.

Jing Shu was not angry about Tian Xin's injury; it was all within his expectations.

"Three, two, one." Jing Shu silently counted down three numbers. As Jing Shu finished counting down, Shi Chuan suddenly knelt on one knee, only managing to stay upright by leaning on the sword in his hand.

Silverware is poisonous!

"This poison is quite good," Jing Shu said frankly.

Ji Chen, who had been holding Prime Minister Lu and hiding to the side with Lu Yunqi, couldn't help but feel ashamed. He was the one who gave out the poison yesterday. He never expected that Jing Shu would use it on Shi Chuan!

But it's alright, it's just an enhanced version of muscle relaxant, not fatal. It just made him lose his ability to move. There's no antidote he has specially made that can cure it.

Unlike the others, Ji Chen and Lu Yunqi didn't panic. Lu Yunqi knocked Old Master Lu unconscious to prevent him from becoming too emotional and harming his health. Then the two of them hid in a corner, watching the drama unfold...

In any case, Jing Shu will not kill them, nor will he kill people indiscriminately. Just look at those women who escaped and were caught again. Jing Shu only has one target.

Ji Chen's eyes were full of admiration for Jing Shu. First, he confronted Jing Shu, then they ate together, and finally he started a rebellion. The whole process was incredibly smooth.

For the other military generals, Jing Shu only used one sentence.

"Your families are in my hands."

The generals clenched their fists, but eventually put down their weapons and let Jing Shu's men tie them up.

Only Tokikawa was willing to abandon his family to protect his master. Unfortunately, Tokikawa has already fallen, and the outcome is already decided.

"Who exactly are you?" Even in his isolated and helpless state, the emperor showed no panic. He simply stared intently at Jing Shu, his eyes filled with a mixture of doubt and fear.

Jing Shu took the bow and arrow that Tian Xun handed him, and without any words, he drew back the bowstring, aimed at the emperor who was still standing on the high hall, and shot straight at him.

The emperor did not dodge; he was certain he would not die. But the arrow pierced his heart with such force that it pinned him to the dragon throne.

The emperor's eyes were filled with disbelief. Impossible! This was the secret realm he had created; he shouldn't have been killed by the people here!

No! There's someone who can! That person is...

"It's you!!!" The fact that the emperor had been pierced through the heart but did not die immediately caused everyone present to widen their eyes. Was their emperor even human?

Ji Chen also found it unbelievable and quickly awakened the Azure Light Cauldron, which had just fallen into a deep sleep. "Little Qing, Little Qing! Are your divine artifacts indestructible in the secret realms they create?!"

"Hmm..." Qingguang Ding had just been awakened and was still not fully conscious. "In the secret realm we created ourselves, it is impossible to be killed. Not to mention killing, no one can even harm it."

Qingguang Ding yawned. "Master, why are you asking this?"

Ji Chen paused for a moment, then said, "I think... why don't you try to sense the outside world first?"

The Azure Cauldron found its master inexplicable, but it still sensed him and saw the emperor nailed to the dragon throne.

Qingguang Ding: "?!!"

The Azure Cauldron instantly regained its senses, its voice booming so loudly it almost split, "How is this possible?! How could it be harmed here? This world should protect it!!! Who did this?!"

"Jing Shu." Ji Chen swallowed and uttered these two words.

The Azure Cauldron's scream abruptly stopped. It inexplicably recalled the extreme fear it had experienced earlier, and now it believed that it might not have been a coincidence...

"Will this divine artifact die?" Ji Chen asked.

The Azure Light Cauldron did not answer, because it did not know either.

Jing Shu looked at the still-living emperor, raised an eyebrow, and removed his mask, allowing the emperor to see his face clearly.

"As expected, you are the so-called divine artifact. What, do you recognize me?"

"You shouldn't be here! I abandoned you in some corner of the world; you should have died long ago!"

Fear and anger appeared on the emperor's face at the same time. The emperor's face was more terrifying than Jing Shu's disfigured face. He seemed to have never learned to control his expressions. His whole face was dark and distorted.

Han Luo glanced at the emperor, who was alive despite having his heart pierced, and then looked at Jing Shu, who didn't seem surprised at all. Her doubts reached their peak.

"Jing Shu, can you explain this?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Shu looked at Han Luo and said softly, "Wait a little longer, Han Luo. The matter I need to verify will soon have an answer."

"Hmm." Han Luo looked at Jing Shu, who rarely didn't answer his question first, and nodded slightly.

Jing Shu had run out of patience and drew his bow again, aiming at the emperor's head.

The arrow pierced the air, aiming precisely for the emperor's brow. This time, the emperor was silent, but his previously gaping mouth now twisted into a strange, unsettling grin.

The emperor is dead.

Immediately afterwards, a bright light burst forth from the emperor's center, and everyone except Jing Shu and the other four seemed to have their movements paused.

The secret realm has been destroyed.

Ji Chen's mouth gaped open in an "O" shape; the divine artifact had truly been killed!

Lu Yunqi and Shi Chuan stared in shock at what they were seeing. Although Lu Yunqi had accepted that this world was fake, what was happening at this moment still shocked him, let alone Shi Chuan, who knew nothing about it.

After confirming the emperor's death, Jing Shu dropped his bow and arrow, turned around and hugged Han Luo tightly, as if he wanted to merge him into his very bones.

Jing Shu murmured softly, "You said it before, 'No matter how our identities change, I will only want you, and I will never regret it.' Han Luo, don't go back on your word, or else..."
