Borrowing Fortune
Emperor Qin's methods of circumventing Fortune Technique were extremely sophisticated.
Even if the Emperor Qin lay before Zhang Xuezhou, Zhang Xuezhou would find it difficult to activate his Fortune Technique to challenge him.
This wasn't just the case for Zhang Xuezhou; Emperor Qin also underwent scrutiny and examination by numerous emperors a century ago, yet none of them discovered his location.
Of course, several emperors of the Great Han Dynasty died suddenly after ascending the throne, and Zhang Xuezhou did not rule out the possibility that one emperor's life force was broken by Emperor Qin, which led to his downfall.
However, there are no records related to the Emperor Qin in the royal family, and many things remain unknown.
Zhang Xuezhou's target was never Qin Er Shi; his target was always Emperor Qin.
Qin Er Shi was like a dispensable lucky charm; Emperor Qin was the true emperor with profound fortune.
At Zhang Xuezhou's level, it would be difficult for Qin Er Shi to bring him Zhang Xuezhou fortune and smooth sailing in all matters; only a unified emperor like Emperor Qin could achieve such a feat.
"Father, he's changed! He's changed again!"
Qin Er Shi let out a series of mournful howls, and then exerted his strength to tear at the dragon fish in front of him.
The dragonfish's body felt as if it had bitten into metal; Qin Er Shi forcibly tore the dragonfish apart with almost all his might.
And these dragonfish are not just one, but so many that they are like a vast ocean.
Qin Er Shi looked at everything before him in despair.
He could neither see the Emperor Qin nor his own future.
While Zhang Xuezhou was scheming against him, Zhang Xuezhou was clearly scheming against him in return.
This was a very simple game, but because the father-son relationship involved the Emperor Qin, different objectives were formed.
"Damn it, where did all these fish come from? This is completely illogical! I am an emperor, and even if I am down on my luck, I cannot possibly be reduced to the power of just one of his clones!"
Qin Er Shi undoubtedly believed in the invincibility forged by his father. After decades of war, Emperor Qin defeated many dynasties in the Southern Jambudvipa Continent and forcibly dispersed the Hundred Schools of Thought, thus establishing his reputation as the number one in the Eight Desolations and Six Directions. This status was earned through actual combat.
But whenever he saw the endless dragonfish, and he had to use all his strength to kill just one, Qin Er Shi couldn't help but feel flustered.
These dragonfish completely ignored him, focusing their attention on the Emperor Qin instead.
"I saw the sword's Sword-Ray!"
Amidst the galaxy of dragonfish, endless sword light swept across the land, accompanied by the tremors of the dragon's might that shook the Xianyang Palace. Xianyang palace collapsed intermittently, nearly immobilizing Qin Er Shi.
"There couldn't possibly be such a master of Fortune Technique in the Southern Jambudvipa Continent. That's impossible! He must be a demon from another realm!"
Qin Er Shi shouted, and Emperor Qin, who was in the center of the Dragon Fish Galaxy, also made his judgment.
He conquered the Great Qin Dynasty, he passed down the royal family's cultivation Fortune Technique, and even the strongest emperors of the Great Han Dynasty were within his calculations. He hardly needed to consider the emperors of neighboring countries.
If it exceeds what he considers the limit, then he can only turn his attention to other lands.
The embroidery of the sun, moon, and stars on the twelve-chapter ceremonial robe shone with dazzling golden light. The Tai'a sword had transformed into a giant sword two zhang long. In the light and shadow, the stars in the sky rotated. The sword light split into two, then into four, then into eight, and then into sixteen. It continued to split and divide, and countless sword lights shot out, covering the sky.
The blow, covering a wide area, struck, and the school of fish, which swirled and roamed like a galaxy, was instantly torn apart.
The sword strikes were very effective, but the Emperor Qin was far from happy.
His sword strikes tore apart the Dragonfish Galaxy and ravaged countless dragonfish, but he failed to kill the true form of the opponent.
Whether human or otherworldly demon, no one can split themselves into countless parts and then allow others to kill them; this can only mean that everything they are attacking is fake.
But these fake dragonfish were not mere illusions; they were a real, tangible force tearing his life apart.
Like an elephant crawling with ants, the Emperor Qin brandished his sword, yet found himself in a helpless predicament.
What's even more troublesome is that these dragonfish are mixed with a dark and gloomy aura that is constantly corroding his body. Emperor Qin can even see the shattered dragonfish constantly regenerating their bodies in the distance, and even rejoining the competition.
The Emperor Qin could tell that this was an extremely troublesome and difficult weapon unleashing its power, and that it was also extremely suitable for prolonged warfare.
He chanted repeatedly, and every now and then a burst of shimmering light would wash over his body, repelling the gloomy energy and the dragonfish clinging to him. But he was quickly entangled again by the swarming dragonfish and the gloomy energy, and even the greatsword he wielded was enveloped and repeatedly torn apart by the dragonfish.
Although his Fortune Technique abilities spanned a vast space, he had nowhere to go in the Heaven and Earth.
If there were any way to defeat the formidable opponent before him, the only thing Emperor Qin could think of was someone in reality who had physically defeated that opponent.
However, the rapidly igniting flames did indeed frighten the Emperor Qin, as if it were an innate restraint against heroic spirits and evil spirits. The flames devoured the terracotta warriors at an alarming speed, and even showed signs of spreading.
This resulted in the Emperor Qin not issuing any orders, and the ironclad laws of the Great Qin made it difficult for anyone to dare to break the rules.
"Li Si? Xu Fu?"
The Emperor Qin shouted twice, but there was no response.
"This isn't my Fortune War; he used Hu Hai to outmaneuver me!"
If the Emperor Qin were to initiate a battle, he would inevitably garner the assistance of his ministers when faced with high risks.
However, he was initially just a spectator watching the outcome, but he rashly intruded into Qin Er Shi's territory, blurring the existence of the Emperor Qin.
At this point, withdrawing would mean abandoning Qin Er Shi, but not withdrawing would make it difficult to defeat the enemy, and in the long run, they might even be unable to break free.
The Emperor Qin roared repeatedly and swung his sword with all his might.
Just like the Xuanming who was sacrificed in the past, the effect of Emperor Qin's actions became weaker and weaker, and he was gradually submerged in the completely unreasonable swarm of dragonfish.
Since the other party had not studied the Tai Jie Six Symbols, Qin Er Shi was unable to possess the other party's body as he had imagined.
There's not much to say about scheming or being schemed against; it's simply a matter of the victor taking all.
If the Emperor Qin were to retreat, he could ensure his own safety and escape the Fortune War, but he could not protect his son, and it was even more uncertain what would happen after this contest.
What do you need?
Only then did the Emperor Qin take his opponent seriously. A seal appeared in his hand, but he did not smash it down. In the end, he went straight to the point and asked for the answer.
"You lured me into this contest of Fortune Technique not just to break my Fortune Body. I can leave now if I want to. You can't kill me through this Fortune War. If I use my destiny weapon, I might even injure you. Tell me, what exactly do you want?"
The dragonfish, like a galaxy of stars, did not stop, nor did the Emperor Qin's counterattack.
But finally, an echo was heard amidst the endless dragonfish.
I want to borrow your luck!
"Borrowing luck? With your strength, why would you need to borrow luck...? You've been targeted by them?"
The echo from the dragonfish was very calm, as if it were an ordinary matter, but Emperor Qin guessed the reason after only a moment's thought.
The fact that Zhang Xuezhou was able to pry open the Mount Li means that his strength is no less than that of the Holy Mother Wudang.
The risks faced by such a powerful force are very limited, almost confined to a small group. If we add the fact that the opponent is an extraterrestrial demon, everything is not difficult to guess.
"Hongjun will bring me misfortune, Houtu will kill me; I can only hope for survival through fate in this precarious situation!"
Zhang Xuezhou spoke calmly, and Emperor Qin's heart sank.
This doesn't stem from the names Zhang Xuezhou mentioned, but rather from Zhang Xuezhou 'Zhang Xuezhou "nothing to lose" attitude, which means he'll stop at nothing to achieve his goals and won't consider the consequences.
Even with countless reasons, the Emperor Qin could not resist the other party's extreme motives.
In this situation, many arguments become ineffective and fail to persuade the other party to back down.
How much luck do you need?
The Emperor Qin gritted his teeth and spoke.
Luck is a mysterious thing, but the Emperor Qin knew that people need the help of luck at crucial moments in their lives; otherwise, even with Tongtian abilities, they would be trapped in a quagmire and unable to extricate themselves.
If his luck is stolen, Zhang Xuezhou will be better off, but he will be in a very bad situation.
"The more the better!"
Upon hearing the other party's response, the Emperor Qin considered the consequences of continuing to resist. He felt that all his past calculations had almost vanished like water, and the Great Qin Dynasty was rushing out of control toward an unknowable future.
