Could it be...a saint?
On the top of Fulong Empire's imperial city, Ji Xiaoran stared at the man in white hanging in the air, with a helpless smile on his face.
There were charred corpses lying all around.
The body of the palace guard!
Among these dead guards, there are many top masters at the Tianlun level, and even the Ji family's Dinghai Shenzhen and the spiritual leader Ji Tianya are among them.
The man in white in the sky has long flowing hair, a bronze mask on his face, and his hands are always behind his back, looking cold and mysterious.
Just now, without raising his hands or moving his feet, this person just lightly uttered the three words "Thousands of Thunders" from his mouth. Suddenly, countless powerful thunders turned into silver dragons in the sky, rolling down, carrying the destruction of the sky. The momentum of the earth fell on a group of imperial city masters who tried to step forward to stop him.
These thunderbolts seem to have autonomous consciousness and are actually able to actively search and track targets. Not only are they astonishingly powerful and fast, they are also far beyond imagination, making it impossible for people to hide and avoid.
No matter the Heavenly Wheel master or the Spirit Master, they were all so small and fragile in front of the thunder that the masked man summoned casually, without the slightest resistance. In just one breath, Fulong Imperial City was already filled with corpses. There were dead and wounded everywhere in the wild, and the air was filled with the smell of roasted human flesh, mixed with the sour smell of sweat, which made people feel sick to their stomachs.
If he had not come out too late, I am afraid that even the current Fulong Emperor Ji Xiaoran and Prince Ji Lieshen would have joined the army of corpses below.
"Are you the emperor of this country?"
His eyes fell on Ji Xiaoran's imperial robe, and the masked man asked coldly.
"Who are you?"
Ji Xiaoran sighed and tried to keep his voice as calm as possible, "What grudge do you have against me, Fulong? Why do you want to do this to people in the imperial city?"
"I need to take something away from your palace. They wanted to stop me, so they died."
A trace of contempt and disdain flashed in the masked man's eyes, and he replied lightly, "As for my name, you ants don't deserve to know it."
"What a madman!"
When Ji Lieshen heard this, he couldn't help but became furious. He took a step forward and shouted, "Let me, an ant, learn from you..."
"Fire God, stand down!"
Before he could finish his sentence, Ji Xiaoran's face suddenly darkened and he interrupted sharply.
"B-but..."
Ji Lieshen had never seen him show such a serious expression before, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Don't you even listen to what I say?" A trace of anger flashed in Ji Xiaoran's eyes.
Hearing the word "Ignorant", Ji Lieshen calmed down instantly. Although there was still a look of reluctance on his face, he obediently retreated behind his brother and said nothing more.
Since Ji Xiaoran ascended the throne, he has never called him a "little man".
These two words are the secret code between brothers, which means that Ji Xiaoran's next instructions must not be disobeyed.
"What, don't you plan to come up here and die?"
Looking at the indignant look on Ji Lieshen's face, the masked man sneered.
"Your Excellency is amazingly powerful, far beyond the ability of anyone in this imperial city to compete with you." Ji Xiaoran replied humbly, "Why should I ask for trouble?"
"The people of the Humane Fulong Empire are tough and brave." The sarcasm in the masked man's eyes became more intense, and he couldn't help laughing, "It turns out that the name is not worthy of the name, and it makes people very disappointed!"
Veins popped up on Ji Lieshen's forehead, his right hand clenched tightly into a fist, his teeth clenched, and fire almost burst out of his eyes.
"You are brave enough to fight fiercely, but only when facing people of similar strength." Ji Xiaoran replied calmly, "After all, this is a world where fists are respected. Your strength is far greater than mine. I really can't think of any reason to fight with you." , isn’t it good to live?”
"Interesting, really interesting!"
It seems that he did not expect that the dignified emperor of a country would admit his cowardice so easily. The masked man found it interesting and couldn't help laughing loudly, "There are not many smart people like you anymore!"
"I wonder why you are here?"
Ji Xiaoran's posture was extremely low, and he didn't have the posture of an emperor at all. "If there is anything in this little palace that can catch your eye, just take it away."
"I feel the aura of the Star Dou Stone in this palace." The masked man answered straightforwardly without being polite.
"Star Dou Stone?"
The Ji brothers looked at each other, and there was a trace of confusion in each other's eyes.
Apparently neither of them had heard of the "Star Dou Stone".
"That's all!" The masked man shook his head and sighed, "How can you ants understand the value of the Star Stone? I'll just go find it myself!"
Before he finished speaking, Ji Xiaoran felt his eyes flicker and the figure of the masked man disappeared.
Ji Xiaoran reached out and touched her nose, staring at the place where the masked man once stood, without saying anything for a long time.
"Why did you stop me?"
Ji Lieshen suddenly turned to look at his brother and asked in a stiff tone, "He is the murderer of Uncle Tianya!"
"Didn't you say it yourself?"
Ji Xiaoran slowly turned around and said word by word, "He even killed Uncle Tianya. If you rush forward so recklessly, is it any different from committing suicide?"
"Even if you die, it is better than living an ignoble existence like this." A trace of anger flashed in Ji Lie's eyes, "Could it be that the dragon chair is too comfortable and makes you afraid of death?"
"Cough, cough!"
Before Ji Xiaoran could answer, he suddenly covered his chest and coughed violently.
Suddenly a slender hand stretched out from beside him and handed over a fragrant white handkerchief.
"Thanks!"
Ji Xiaoran took the handkerchief, wiped the blood stains coughed up from the corner of his mouth, then raised his head and stared into his brother's eyes and said, "Afraid of death? With a body like mine, living for one more day is a torment. To me, death is the only thing that can happen." It’s a real relief.”
"Then why?"
Ji Lieshen trembled all over, most of the anger in his heart had dissipated, and there was a hint of pain on his face.
"Not being afraid of death and taking the initiative to die are completely different things."
Ji Xiaoran took a deep breath and said earnestly, "You are not young anymore. If you are still so motivated, how can I trust the throne..."
The words stopped abruptly midway through.
His face returned to calm, and he slowly raised his head to look up into the sky.
The figure of the masked man in white appeared in the sky again, holding a sparkling stone in his hand. Although his face was obscured by the mask, he could still read a hint of joy in his eyes. color.
"What you need," Ji Xiaoran asked politely, "Have you found it?"
"Yes, this is the Star Dou Stone." The masked man nodded slightly.
"That's great." Ji Xiaoran's voice became gentler, "I don't know the use of this thing anyway. Since it is helpful to you, just take it away."
"If you can figure it out, that would be great."
The masked man nodded and narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming to be very satisfied with his attitude, "See you soon!"
After saying that, he turned around gracefully and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing the other party leaving, Ji Xiaoran finally let out a breath and relaxed unconsciously.
"Thunder!"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the voice of a masked man suddenly floated from the distant sky.
"Boom!"
Immediately afterwards, a loud noise suddenly erupted in the clouds above the head, followed by a terrifying blue-white thunder, like a spiritual snake coming out of its cave, a divine dragon coming into the world, and falling towards Ji Xiaoran's head with great momentum. The strength has reached an appalling level.
Under the pressure of this shocking thunder, Ji Xiaoran was like a small boat, sailing in the wind and rain, teetering on the edge, struggling to move, and about to be completely engulfed by the stormy waves at any time.
The masked man who got the Star Dou Stone didn't seem to be satisfied, and still used thunderous methods to take the life of the emperor.
"Brother!"
Ji Lieshen was shocked, but when he tried to rescue him, it was too late.
Just when he was despairing, thinking that his brother was about to die from Lei Lei, a black figure suddenly jumped out from nowhere and stood between Ji Xiaoran and Lei Lei with lightning speed.
"boom!"
The thunderbolt landed on the black figure without any deviation, and there was a loud roar, and the dazzling light pierced the Ji brothers' eyes.
The electric light dissipated quickly, revealing a graceful and slender figure.
"new moon!"
Seeing this person's appearance clearly, Ji Xiaoran couldn't help but change his expression and blurted out.
It turns out that the person who resisted the thunder was the mysterious woman in black, Xinyue, who had always followed Ji Xiaoran like a shadow.
"boom!"
The crescent moon, which had endured the thunder, fell from the sky with a crisp sound, then lay on the ground and twitched slightly, unable to stand up again.
"Silly girl!"
Regardless of her physical weakness, Ji Xiaoran quickly came to Xinyue and squatted down, helping her up. The sorrowful look in her eyes flashed away, "Why are you doing this?"
"Master, you, you are still alive." Xinyue's pretty face was pale, her breath was as thin as a thread, her lips were trembling, and she squeezed out a few words intermittently from between her teeth, "It's really, really good."
"Hold on." Ji Xiaoran stretched out his left hand and tightly grasped Xinyue's small catkin, "I will go to the imperial doctor right now."
"No, no need. I, my subordinate, are gone." Xinyue's voice became increasingly inaudible, "Lord, master, thank you, thank you, Xinyue is good, happy, happy..."
Before she finished her sentence, Xinyue suddenly tilted her neck, her jade arms hung weakly by her side, and finally stopped breathing completely.
