“Mo Long, what else do you have to say?” Lin Xiao’s cold voice rang out.
Mo Long, trapped on the ground, trembled. Today, they had come brimming with confidence, never expecting such a turn of events.
Moreover, the one trapping the people of their two great empires was none other than his enemy, Lin Xiao, the killer of his two brothers.
What could he possibly say?
“Lin Xiao!” Mo Long merely gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with deep reluctance.
“Lin Xiao, spare us, and the Moyu Empire will not set foot in the Lanlan Empire for a hundred years!” Mo Long didn’t speak, but a Ninth Stage Martial Venerable from the Moyu Empire hurriedly pleaded with Lin Xiao.
“Lin Xiao, the Dongyang Empire is willing to cede cities as compensation and will not set foot in the Lanlan Empire for a hundred years,” Dongyang Tian also quickly pleaded, not daring to underestimate Lin Xiao’s methods.
They even regretted it, regretted why they had provoked Lin Xiao. The Dongyang Empire originally had no deep enmity with him.
“Our Moyu Empire is also willing to cede cities as compensation and hand over our storage rings!” the Ninth Stage Martial Venerable from the Moyu Empire added hastily.
“Cede cities as compensation?” Lin Xiao shook his head. “If you truly want to make amends, wouldn’t merging the three empires be better?”
At these words, the hearts of everyone from the two empires trembled violently.
“Since you have nothing else to say, then… all of you can die,” Lin Xiao shouted, and the sharp tips of the white whiskers began to pierce into the bodies of the hundred or so people from the two empires, frantically draining them.
“No!!”
“Ah!!”
A series of unwilling and terrified screams rang out. They could never have imagined that their grand ambition to conquer the Lanlan Empire would end with them dying at the hands of a young upstart.
“No!!” Mo Xiang and Li Yangming roared in defiance, but having been gravely injured, they couldn’t muster the strength to break free from the white whiskers despite their desperate efforts.
In the end, the white whiskers pierced their bodies, draining their blood and bone marrow.
In just a moment, even the bodies of the two Martial Monarchs were completely consumed.
At this point, the people of the Lanlan Empire and the surrounding onlookers were stunned into silence.
All the top elites of the two empires, over a hundred Martial Kings and above, along with all their geniuses, had died at Lin Xiao’s hands?
Did this mean the two empires were now leaderless?
Of course, those who hadn’t been killed included the four who had never acted against Lin Xiao: Lin Qinglun, Ge Mu, Yun Feng, and Zhuifeng.
Lin Qinglun and Ge Mu needed no explanation. As for Yun Feng and Zhuifeng, because of their past connection with Lin Xiao, they hadn’t acted against him. The Heavenly Whiskers Moon Gaze hadn’t trapped them, and Lin Xiao, remembering their past assistance, spared them as well.
Aside from them, every other high-ranking member of the two empires had been completely wiped out.
This outcome left everyone utterly shocked.
They all knew that the two empires were finished, and the three empires would soon be united.
High in the sky, Fengyuntian was filled with shock. Even he could never have anticipated this outcome.
“Maoqiu, can you deal with Fengyuntian now?” Lin Xiao spoke again.
With just the Blue Corpse Puppet and Empress Dowager Mengxi, they could only hold Fengyuntian at bay, not defeat him.
“Swish!”
Suddenly, all the white whiskers, except for the one binding Feng Youyu, retracted into the ground. Then, a massive rope formed by countless white whiskers twisted together, like a pillar reaching the heavens, shot skyward. This rope, a zhang in diameter and a hundred zhang long, emerged fully from the ground.
At its end, only a single cluster of white whiskers held Feng Youyu captive, while the rest formed the appearance of a single rope. No one could discern anything unusual about it, as if it were just an ordinary, peculiar rope.
Everyone was baffled. It seemed to lack any trace of life, not resembling a spirit beast, a formation, or a treasure. What exactly was it?
In truth, only Lin Xiao and a few others who knew of the Heavenly Whiskers Moon Gaze understood that it was concealed within the rope, clearly disguising itself as part of it.
Most likely, the Heavenly Whiskers Moon Gaze was at the base, where a cluster of white whiskers still held Feng Youyu.
However, Lin Xiao himself wasn’t certain of its exact position. The Heavenly Whiskers Moon Gaze’s ability to produce white whiskers meant it wouldn’t easily reveal its weaknesses when fighting a strong opponent.
Of course, this move was something Lin Xiao had never seen before.
At this moment, the massive rope, dragging Feng Youyu, shot into the sky. Its upper end lashed fiercely towards Fengyuntian, looking from a distance as if Feng Youyu herself was wielding the rope to attack him.
“What is that!”
Sensing the terrifying force coming at him, Fengyuntian’s expression changed drastically. He slashed at the rope with his sword.
However, the strike didn’t cut into the rope at all. The massive rope, a zhang in diameter, carried tremendous force, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood and sending his entire body flying backward.
At that moment, Empress Dowager Mengxi and the Blue Corpse Puppet seized the opportunity to attack. The Blue Corpse Puppet’s five fingers emitted a ghostly light, while Empress Dowager Mengxi unleashed a massive palm strike, both aimed at Fengyuntian.
In his haste, Fengyuntian hurriedly swung his sword, unleashing a dazzling sword beam that collided with the two forces.
However, this strike was rushed and clearly no match for the combined power of the Blue Corpse Puppet and Empress Dowager Mengxi. He was sent flying by the terrifying impact, blood spilling from his mouth.
Boom!
Immediately after, the white rope of the Heavenly Whiskers Moon Gaze lashed out again, as if tearing through the void with the force to sweep all directions, striking Fengyuntian once more.
Fengyuntian was knocked back again, spitting out more blood. The Blue Corpse Puppet and Empress Dowager Mengxi attacked once more, causing him to vomit blood yet again.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”…
After several consecutive strikes, Fengyuntian was gravely injured, his body drenched in blood.
At this moment, the top of the massive rope split into several arm-thick strands, wrapping around Fengyuntian with lightning speed. With a pull, it slammed his body heavily into the ground.
Boom!
Another loud crash resounded as the ground was smashed into a crater, with dust and debris billowing outward.
When the dust settled, everyone saw Fengyuntian’s body bound by the massive rope, standing on the ground, his hair disheveled, his face streaked with blood, looking utterly wretched.
“What, what is this thing!” Fengyuntian spat blood, his face filled with terror.
The power of this rope was too overwhelming, surpassing the strength of an ordinary Third Stage Martial Monarch. He couldn’t resist it at all, especially under the combined assault of Empress Dowager Mengxi and the Blue Corpse Puppet, which had left him severely wounded.
Moreover, in his current injured state, he couldn’t break free from the white rope binding him.
“What it is doesn’t matter. What matters is that you’re about to die!”
At this moment, Lin Xiao’s icy voice rang out, “Fengyuntian, did you ever imagine this day?”
With that, Lin Xiao descended and landed in front of Fengyuntian.
