"Pfft!"
Before Old Ninth could react.
A golden gleam flashed through the Human Emperor's eyes.
It shot into his body like a sharp blade.
"Ah..."
Black Old Ninth's pained voice came from inside Old Ninth.
"You thought you could hide from my eyes?" The latter gave a cold smile.
"D-don't... don't kill me." Black Old Ninth poked his head out of Old Ninth's shadow.

His body flew backward into Old Ninth's body.
After trying dozens of times in a row, he gave up.
His face full of grievance and resentment, he sat dejectedly
