What exactly is this unsettling sense of crisis?
As the emperor pursued his opponent, his unease grew stronger. Years of combat experience told him that this was not a figment of his imagination, but a real crisis. His opponent must have done something to cause this feeling. What had he done?
"Why aren't you moving?" Kagura had been maintaining a distance of about three zhang (approximately 13 meters) between them, and she would speed up as well whenever the emperor sped up, keeping their safe distance at three zhang.
The emperor did not speak, but closed his eyes and pushed all his senses to their limits.
He had begun to adapt to his opponent's speed. The distance of three zhang was a critical point; beyond that distance, both of them could suddenly unleash a burst of power and kill each other.
Therefore, this distance is a sensitive line. The other party is also very cunning, always positioning themselves at this distance so that they cannot be distracted or stop to think.
Kagura looked at the other party. This time, the emperor closing his eyes was an opportunity, but for some reason, she was sensitive and did not act immediately. She felt that the emperor's state was even more terrifying than before. Although his eyes were closed, his aura was like a taut bow.
She had a feeling that if she stepped into that area, the other party's counterattack would be unprecedented, which made her sense a danger.
Of course, in this state, the other party must be fully focused, and obviously has no chance to look at other places.
The emperor closed his eyes and, after a long while, finally said, "I have not been poisoned."
Kagura smiled slightly, but inwardly she admired him. This guy was indeed the most troublesome human since the beginning of the Samsara, realizing that something was wrong so quickly.
Do you think it's necessary to use that kind of method to deal with you?
"Why not use it?" The emperor opened his eyes, his brows furrowed. The other party had just injured his throat. If he had used poison at that time, the chances of winning would have increased by at least several levels.
"You have the poison sac left to you by the Mr. Five Poisons, don't you?" Kagura asked quietly.
The emperor smiled; it seemed the other party had thoroughly studied his intelligence.
"So it seems your methods are limited. The Mr. Five Poisons is nothing more than a demon who hasn't yet Transcendent, yet you can't even crack his poison sac!"
"It seems you don't understand the value of the Five Great Misters." Kagura laughed immediately, " The Five Great Misters cannot Transcendent. They are different from the alien species in the world. Their existence comes from humans. Unless a large number of humans become Transcendent, the Five Great Misters will never be able to Transcendent. They probably don't even know this themselves."
emperor. "."
"However, the world is fair. Extremely high restrictions give them extremely high potential. The Mr. Five Poisons is a case in point. Although he is not Transcendent, his poisons are incurable, even for those who are Transcendent. His poison sac is a kind of Poison King Gu that has not been fed on by other poisons. Any poison will only become its nourishment. This thing is the Mr. Five Poisons's life-bound possession. It is surprising that it appears in your possession. It seems that Your Majesty has extraordinary charm."
"As expected of a predecessor who has lived for so long, he knows far more than I do." The emperor took a breath, sensing the poison sacs in his body.
That was indeed given to him by the Mr. Five Poisons. As long as the Mr. Five Poisons doesn't die, he will be immune to all poisons!
However, he wasn't sure if the poison sac's abilities would be effective against such an ancient force, which was why he had just tested it.
It seems the other person wasn't lying, meaning the crisis I felt wasn't related to the poison?
What could it be?
"Your current state shouldn't last long, right?" Kagura said with a smile, her body hovering around, but she never got within three zhang of the other party.
While the opponent's extremely tense state made him wary and hesitant to approach, it was also incredibly taxing. Using such exertion to buy time for thought was a gamble. It had to be said that this human had extraordinary courage, daring to prioritize physical exertion to gain mental space at a time like this. Other martial artists who relied on their strength would have considered physical strength a precious treasure.
The Divine Martial Guild's think tank considers him the most dangerous human being, even more dangerous than the King of Qin, and it seems their assessment was correct.
He must die here today!
"I am not in the real world, am I?"
Kagura: "."
"As I thought." The Emperor opened his eyes. "Your sudden attack came at the very moment I was trying to confirm my sister's location. I admit I was distracted then, but besides teaching me a lesson, your action was also a warning to prevent me from being distracted."
"You're pressing so hard, yet you seem to have no clear purpose. This is suspicious, so I suspect you're stalling for time."
"Is that so?" Kagura laughed. "Being able to scheme against the King of Qin and the Black Queen certainly makes you quick-witted. But since you say I'm stalling for time, tell me, why am I doing this?"
"Of course, it's because she poses a deadly threat to me!" the emperor sneered. "My elder sister could not possibly have not come to my aid by now, and no one could possibly stop her and her army!"
"You seem to have a lot of faith in her."
"Of course I have confidence," the emperor said with certainty. "She is my strongest support in this world, and she will never let me down."
But she still didn't come.
"She came, but we just couldn't find her!" the emperor said quietly. "If we can't stop her, then we can only hide from her. That's the only possibility I can think of. If I'm not mistaken, you must have used some means to pull me into a false world."
The emperor pointed around. "Although everything here is exactly the same as outside, even the rules and dynamics of the surroundings after the destruction are remarkably similar, there's one thing I've overlooked."
"What?" Kagura raised an eyebrow.
The "human" emperor sneered, "Humans cannot be imitated here, so there is no one here. Even if my imperial sister hadn't come, by now, the Ancient Demon Clan should have already subdued those sorcerers from the South Sea, right? You all have such a unified goal—to kill me before my imperial sister arrives—how could he not have made his move yet? Especially during that moment when I was distracted?"
Kagura: "."
"The reason is simple: he can't do it. My elder sister can't find me, and neither can he. This is a false world where only you and I exist. Am I right?"
Clap clap clap clap!
Upon hearing this, Kagura dropped all pretense and burst into laughter, clapping her hands. "Impressive, impressive! The Black Queen deserved to fall into your hands!"
The emperor looked at the other person, his brows furrowed. Even if this world was an illusion, what did that mean?
Trapping him here was actually a ploy against his own elder sister and the Ghost Army?
wrong
From any perspective, targeting oneself is easier than targeting the Imperial Sister and the Ghost Army. There's no reason to deal with the difficult ones first. Since the two are cooperating, and the other party has the ability, why not bring in the High Priest of the Ancient Demon Clan to deal with oneself as well?
If this woman could pull me into this fake world without me even realizing it, then she could probably pull in a few more people too, right?
Why don't we have any help?
It's unlikely that this woman could easily deal with me on her own.
The only possibility is that no one else dares to come to this fake world!
Your own sense of crisis is never wrong.
The emperor took a deep breath and said solemnly, "If I'm not mistaken, in this place, once a certain time limit is reached, you, senior, should be able to kill me directly, right?"
"Tsk," Kagura clicked her tongue. This guy is really troublesome. He has no background or intelligence, yet he can see the situation here so quickly.
Indeed, the Myriad Phenomena Technique is a harbinger of the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm. In this world, given enough time, everything will change according to one's will, including those who have been drawn in!
