Deadly Performance

Zhenyun Planet has a diameter of ten million kilometers and was crafted by Zhenyuan Venerable into a tourist planet.

The entire massive planet is divided into several major zones; some are in the feudal era, some in the industrial era, and some areas are in the interstellar era.

There is no helping it, as this planet is simply too vast; even when divided into several different eras as tourist zones, it is still more than enough.

Among them is an area similar to modern Earth, located within a massive city.

A local carnival is currently taking place here, with over a hundred million people celebrating, including local inhabitants and travelers alike.

However, the majority are travelers who have come for the reputation of the place.

The entire Zhenyun Planet is incredibly beautiful and attracts numerous tourists, with some even coming from outside the Ganwu Universe Kingdom.

Inside a super-large stadium in the city center, a performance is underway.

The massive stadium can accommodate over ten million spectators, yet it is still packed to capacity.

To accommodate the humans who come to travel, the chairs are also divided into several sizes.

The largest chairs can even seat giants with bodies over ten meters tall.

The universe is vast, and although they are all part of the human race, they are divided into many sub-races, naturally resulting in varying body sizes.

Yet, this stadium of over ten million people is extraordinarily quiet.

It turns out that the beautiful piano music drifting from the stage has brought this tranquility.

Outside the stadium is the carnival, but inside, it is as if everyone is attending a concert.

After the man finishes playing a piece, the crowd feels it is truly magnificent.

"That was truly magnificent."

"Indeed, absolutely magnificent."

"Who is the one playing on stage? It sounds so good; it feels as if every note has magic in it."

"Yes, yes, I have never heard such beautiful music."

"This must be the most beautiful music in the world."

"Quiet now, he is about to start playing the next piece."

In the center of the stage, a man is playing an instrument similar to an Earth piano.

However, this instrument is much larger, and the man is wearing a mask, making it impossible to see his face.

The beautiful music rings out once again, the sound spreading throughout the super-large stadium like magic.

Over ten million people instantly fall silent, just to listen to the beautiful sound.

"Exquisite!"

This is everyone's evaluation of the man's performance; if the first piece was magnificent, then the one just now was exquisite!

"Truly exquisite, I wonder if there is more."

"I heard there are four movements; I must get ready to listen to the third piece."

"It's too beautiful, I can't take it; if only I could meet him."

"It's starting, it's starting!"

After a brief rest, the massive stadium falls silent once again to listen to the third piece.

The man's hands dance incessantly across the keys, playing beautiful notes.

Over ten million people close their eyes, listening to the wonderful music.

"Outstanding!"

This is the evaluation from over ten million people regarding the performance just now.

"This is truly... outstanding and extraordinary."

"Yes, outstanding and extraordinary."

The man does not pause and continues to play the fourth piece.

The fourth piece is longer and even more moving.

"Extraordinary!"

After listening to the music, the over ten million people remain immersed in it, and the stadium is so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap!

Deafening applause erupts in the stadium, cheering for the man who performed.

"An extraordinary performance; listening to it feels like I could live a few more years."

"Yes, it feels like this is the most beautiful music in the world."

The man stands up and bows to the over ten million people, signaling the end of the performance.

But the man does not leave the stage; instead, he says to the audience in the front row, "You, dance."

The voice is neither loud nor soft, yet it can be heard by everyone in the stadium, as if he were speaking right into their ears.

"What?" The crowd was stunned upon hearing this, not quite understanding what he meant.

"I said, all of you, dance." The man did not speak quickly, yet his words seemed to carry a magical power.

The people in the first row finally understood the man's intent; regardless of whether they knew how to dance, they began to sway along.

In an instant, everyone in the first row started dancing. Those who could sit in the first row were naturally considered big shots.

Yet, they were still bewitched by the man's voice, acting like puppets.

"Is this some kind of interactive segment?"

"Not sure, but it's quite interesting."

"Since it's a carnival, happiness is all that matters."

The audience in the back discussed it among themselves, and even the director didn't know who to point the cameras at for a moment.

"The stage is set!" the man said after seeing the people in the first row dancing.

"Nianxiang Ruchen!" Following the man's loud shout, the people in the first row who were dancing suddenly seemed to slow down, as if time itself had dilated, all moving in slow motion.

"What's wrong with them?"

"Why did they suddenly slow down?"

Although it was only one row of people, it still consisted of thousands, and seeing them all move in slow motion simultaneously appeared extremely eerie.

It left the audience in the back confused as to what was happening.

"Xunzang Zhihua!"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...

All the people in slow motion, like fireworks blooming, exploded into beautiful flowers.

The entire first row of people vanished, exploding one after another.

In an instant, chaos erupted in the stadium of tens of millions, for after all, most people in the universe were just ordinary folks; where had they ever seen such a scene?

"Run!"

"People are dying!"

However, a small number of people remained calm, and quite a few even flew toward the stage, preparing to attack the masked man.

"What have you done?" asked the first martial artist to rush up.

He was a Domain Lord level powerhouse and was naturally very confident in his own strength.

"Brilliant!" The man took out a large gun, said softly, and then pulled the trigger.

The ornate gun fired a bullet that seemed to pierce through space, instantly striking the Domain Lord powerhouse.

"What is this?" How could a Domain Lord level powerhouse have ever seen such a fast bullet? He was killed by a single shot before he could even react.

One must know that Universe level powerhouses could fight on white dwarfs, let alone Domain Lord level powerhouses, who were even more extraordinary.

Yet, being killed by a single shot terrified the other martial artists who were preparing to attack.

"Superb!"

Another shot rang out, taking the life of a Universe level powerhouse.

Usually, a galaxy might only produce one or two Universe level powerhouses, yet they were being shot dead like ordinary people.

"Excellent!"

Once again, a shot killed a Universe level powerhouse.

"Extraordinary!"

After shooting one last powerhouse, the masked man stopped firing, and the powerhouses who had initially rushed up to attack, as if seeing a glimmer of hope, quickly fled from the man.

"Manwu Grenade!"

The masked man threw a grenade, which was engraved with beautiful patterns.

The grenade was extremely fast, instantly catching up to a fleeing Universe level powerhouse.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The grenade bounced four times in succession, taking out four powerhouses before disappearing.

"Too terrifying, too terrifying! Universe level and Domain Lord level are both killed in an instant, run for your lives!"

"Run!"

"Everyone, dance together!"

The man shouted loudly, his voice imbued with immense magical power, and for a moment, the chaotic stadium instantly ceased its disorder.

Tens of millions of people began to dance.

"So many souls to enjoy, hahahahaha!" The man laughed maniacally, looking at the tens of millions of people dancing with great satisfaction.

"Final Chapter!"

The zither on the stage began to play by itself.

The man then took out another gun, combining it with the one he already held to form a massive firearm.

The giant gun was hoisted onto the man's shoulder.

In time with the notes of the zither, at a specific beat.

The gun on the man's shoulder fired the first bullet; the moment it left the barrel, it expanded ten million times over, obliterating a quarter of the people in the stadium in a single instant.

With another beat, the man fired the second bullet, taking away another quarter of the crowd.

In an instant, only a few million people remained dancing in the stadium of ten million, while the rest had been slaughtered by the masked man.

After the third and fourth shots were fired, there was not a single living person left in the entire stadium, save for the masked man on the stage.

"Thank you, everyone."

After putting away his gun, the man bowed toward the audience.

But not a single spectator applauded, because everyone had been killed.

Ten million people, all killed in just a few minutes.

"Collect!" After bowing, the man took out a lantern and, with a wave of his hand, gathered all the souls in the stadium.

The light within the lantern instantly grew several degrees brighter.

"A perfect curtain call." After saying this, the man limped over to the zither and waved his hand to put it away.

He then flew out into space, and the massive stadium acted like a super-bomb, exploding into a giant firework.

Over a hundred million people across the entire city had been reveling, but following the stadium's explosion, only a massive crater remained, with nothing else left behind.
