Excessive ferocity due to caution

As someone took action, the smell of gunpowder in the air was instantly ignited!

A murderous intent surged forth!

The sounds of swords clashing were incessant, making the already tense atmosphere even more chaotic!

Seeing this, Su Xingcan quickly tugged at Zhao Yi's sleeve and said:

"Brother Zhao...can I do you a favor?"

"The lives of countless people in the six kingdoms depend entirely on you!"

He understood that the only person who could make these people stop fighting right now was Zhao Yi!

Seeing the hopeful look in Su Xingcan's eyes, Zhao Yi held up an index finger between the two of them:

You owe me a favor.

"Remember to pay it back."

Su Xingcan smiled wryly:

"I'm afraid I won't be able to repay Brother Zhao's favor... However, it seems I have no other choice."

Zhao Yi smiled.

He turned around and pointed a finger!

Heavenly Tribulation Finger!

Inside the lobby, thunder roared deafeningly!

The terrifying aura that living beings could not resist immediately brought the chaotic battle to a halt!

They stared at Zhao Yi in utter horror, then suddenly remembered the mysterious cult leader who had recently become a source of fear even for Ren Wudi, and were jolted awake... Wasn't this the person right in front of them?!

The Heavenly Tribulation Finger unleashed its full power, slamming fiercely against the giant gate!

The giant gate, made of an unknown material, was incredibly hard, yet it was still shattered by the immense power of heavenly lightning under the Heavenly Tribulation Finger!

Under the shocked gazes of everyone, the door that they had tried so hard to open... was opened by Zhao Yi with a single finger from a distance!

Is this the leader of the Jie Sect who can rival Ren Wudi?

No wonder Ren Wudi was wary of him at the Star Gazing Platform and dared not make the first move!

Now it seems... truly terrifying!

"This is the grand mausoleum that King Qi has spent over twenty years preparing for you all, intending to rest here forever. You may enter now."

Zhao Yi stood at the exit, hands behind his back.

Everyone looked at each other.

Zhao Yifang's finger gesture just now had enlightened them.

Reason is returning to my body.

Seeing that something was wrong, some people in the crowd immediately shouted again:

"Brothers!"

"What are you waiting for?!"

"The door's open! Let's hurry in and divide the treasure!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his heart skipped a beat!

not good!

We've fallen for their trap!

He looked up and saw Zhao Yi calmly watching him from the entrance.

His gaze held a hint of mockery.

"Did you see that?"

Zhao Yi spoke up.

"If it weren't for the King of Qi's dogs, they would have already run inside by now. Would they be acting like fools, loudly calling for more people to go in and divide the spoils?"

Faced with the cold, questioning gazes around him, the man forced himself to explain:

"I'm just worried there might be traps down there!"

"What is your relationship with the King of Qi?"

Zhao Yi smiled and flicked his sleeve:

"You shouldn't explain."

"It is even more inappropriate to exonerate the King of Qi."

The man turned pale upon hearing this.

It’s over.

He had fallen into Zhao Yi's trap!

One wrong step...and one wrong step after another!

Now, it's tantamount to admitting that he is King Qi's dog!

Seeing that he had reached a dead end, he suddenly drew his sword, his face contorted with rage as he looked at the martial arts figures surrounding him.

"That's right!"

"I am one of King Qi's men!"

"It's a pity... I couldn't bring you bunch of money-grubbing bastards into the imperial mausoleum..."

"But it's okay...it's okay."

"Lord Wei Xuezhong has already led his men to begin clearing out the area... You can't escape!"

"Everyone here will be buried with me, hahahaha!!"

He made a harsh statement, then picked up a knife and slit his own throat.

He glared at her.

Blood gushed out like a spring.

It splashed everywhere.

His body fell to the ground, twitched twice, and then remained still.

The restless crowd finally quieted down upon seeing this.

Their eyes, blinded by treasures and fame, have now become much clearer.

"Was all of this... truly a scheme orchestrated by the King of Qi?"

"This person actually intends to slaughter all the heroes of the martial arts world?!"

"Everyone says King Qi's mind is as deep as the sea, but today I realize how terrifying it truly is!"

"..."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, some glancing at Su Xingcan occasionally. Soon, someone stepped forward, bowing apologetically to Su Xingcan and saying:

"We apologize for our negligence, sir, as you just reminded us."

He paused, then bowed deeply to Zhao Yi.

"Thank you for your help, Master Zhao. If it weren't for that one finger strike, I'm afraid hundreds of thousands of us would be buried in this great mausoleum..."

Su Xingcan glanced at Zhao Yi, who was staring silently outside the mausoleum, and smiled:

"It's alright... You are all talents from among the six kingdoms. If you were to perish here, it would be a disaster for all living beings!"

"Right now, you all need to quickly eliminate those Qi lackeys hiding among you!"

Everyone snapped out of their daze and, after a thorough search, quickly identified all the lackeys that King Qi had planted among them!

Most of them chose suicide.

However, a small number of people, fearing death, knelt on the ground in trembling fear.

The cold blade was placed against their necks.

"explain!"

"What exactly does the King of Qi want to do?!"

Under the watchful eyes of countless sharp gazes, one of the King of Qi's lackeys finally couldn't bear it any longer and cried out:

"King Qi wanted to wipe out the martial arts world of the six states and bury all the schools of thought in the ashes of history..."

"Thirty years ago, he was diagnosed by the imperial physician with a lung disease. Due to blocked meridians, he was born unable to practice martial arts. King Qi thought he might not live past fifty or sixty, so he plotted to use the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations to kill all the heroes of the world, and then, while he was still alive... to unify the six kingdoms..."

"My heroes, we are merely following orders..."

"If it weren't for the fact that the King of Qi had something on us, we wouldn't have taken such a huge risk to frame you gentlemen!!"

The man trembled, watching the large sword about to fall on his head, then suddenly cried out in a shrill voice:

"Have mercy, sir!"

"I have another very important message!!"

The man with the knife glared at him angrily.

"explain!"

The lackeys of the King of Qi, kneeling on the ground, trembled with fear.

"Speaking out might save your life..."

"Speak quickly!!"

"You cannot go out... Under the command of the King of Qi, there is an extremely formidable expert, who is also our superior, named Wei Xuezhong..."

"He brought his three thousand trained experts to the Valley of Burial Soldiers, and they had already laid an ambush on the outer mountaintops!"

"They'll start closing in as soon as we enter the imperial tomb!"

"Going out now means certain death!!"

The man with the knife sneered:

"What's there to be afraid of!"

"With hundreds of thousands of us, why would we be afraid of three thousand?"

The person kneeling on the ground shivered.

"Those three thousand men were all personally trained assassins by Wei Xuezhong, and their strength... was all at the upper level of Tiger Roar and Dragon Cry..."

He finished speaking.

The once lively scene suddenly turned into a deathly silence...

P.S.: This dungeon will be finished tomorrow!

Goodnight, my darlings!

Get some rest!
