Chapter 100: It's Time for You to Exit the Stage

"Huh?"

"You want me to go up?"

"You've got to be kidding!"

The Vile Ugly Emperor wanted to find an excuse for himself,

"You powerful SSS-Ranks couldn't even beat that man."

"What makes you think I, an SSS-Rank, can do it."

"I think maybe you two should team up and try — it might have an unexpected effect."

At this critical juncture, it still wanted to sit back and reap the rewards.

But seeing Bloody Mary and the Khon Mask remain completely unmoved,

the Vile Ugly Emperor understood that it had no choice but to act.

"Sigh, since that's the way it is, then I'll go."

"I hope my performance can bring everyone a bit of amusement."

As the words fell,

the Vile Ugly Emperor's figure flashed, and with a whoosh like an arrow leaving a bowstring, it charged toward Bai Qi.

But before making its move,

it left a prank box on the ground,

the kind of trinket where a comical clown pops out the moment you open the lid.

"Eat my flying blades!"

The Vile Ugly Emperor took aim at Bai Qi, waved both hands, and a full hundred flying blades shot out from its robes.

Every single blade was coated in purple venom!

"Poison?"

Bai Qi raised his long sword and said coolly, "Using poison is how children fight."

Then, he plunged the long sword into the ground, and the killing intent within the blade, the instant it touched the ground, stirred up an ever-expanding protective barrier.

It spread instantly, blocking the Vile Ugly Emperor's venomous blade attack, and continued extending until it struck the Vile Ugly Emperor!

Boom!

The moment the protective barrier collided with the Vile Ugly Emperor,

it was like brilliant fireworks — colorful ribbons and confetti scattered in all directions!

And the Vile Ugly Emperor vanished from the spot without any warning!

A burst of manic laughter immediately rang out all around.

"Hehehehehe—"

The Vile Ugly Emperor laughed in a way that made one's skin crawl, "The performance has just begun, and I won't end it so easily."

"Let's play a game now — it's called Guess Where I Am."

"Get it right and you get candy; get it wrong, and you'll have to be punished."

It spoke in the tone of teasing a child.

As a battle-hardened general, Bai Qi naturally would not be fooled by such petty tricks.

He plopped down on the ground right then and there, crossed his arms over his chest, rested with his eyes closed, and stood his long sword beside him.

What was he doing?

"Boring trick."

"Fighting you is too dull — I'd rather sleep."

After saying that, Bai Qi actually relaxed his guard, concealed his aura, and truly began to rest…

The corner of the Vile Ugly Emperor's mouth twitched as it was lost in its own world.

This guy was going too far!

However…

The Vile Ugly Emperor revealed a sinister smile.

Now, Dragon Nation's terrifying existence had let down his guard.

Skilled in ambushes, it felt this was a perfect opportunity.

So, the Vile Ugly Emperor drew a curved blade from thin air,

aimed at Bai Qi,

and rapidly closed in!

"Troublemakers won't come to a good end!"

Immediately after!

Behind Bai Qi,

the Vile Ugly Emperor dropped all disguise, raised the curved blade high, and aimed at the back of Bai Qi's head, ready to strike.

In the nick of time,

Bai Qi, with his eyes still closed, drew the long sword from beside him.

With a snick,

the blade, in a flash of lightning, struck the Vile Ugly Emperor's neck with unerring precision.

Squelch!

Blood splattered.

The Vile Ugly Emperor's head and body parted ways!

After finishing all this, Bai Qi wiped his sword clean and sheathed it back at his side.

From beginning to end, he sat on the ground like an immovable bronze bell.

After dealing with the Ultimate Evil Ugly Emperor,

Bai Qi rose to his feet and looked toward Bloody Mary and the others.

"Any moves left?"

"If not, it's time for you to exit the stage."

As he finished speaking, an astonishing aura erupted from him. The earth trembled, as though a thousand armies and ten thousand horses were charging forth.

At the same time,

the prank box left behind by the Ultimate Evil Ugly Emperor began to shake violently.

Then,

the box burst open with a bang.

The already-dead Ultimate Evil Ugly Emperor successfully revived.

However, this time its revived aura not only did not weaken, but grew even stronger.

Beyond SSS-Rank!

In less than a minute, it had already surpassed Bloody Mary and the Khon Mask.

This cunning fellow really did hold something back!

"I said the Ultimate Evil Ugly Emperor couldn't possibly be just SSS-Rank. Looks like my conjecture was right."

"But the current situation is dire. Bloody Mary and the others, acting alone, are no match for the dragon-bone monster."

"To win, it seems they have no choice but to join forces."

"But what worries me now is that these three don't seem to get along!"

Some foreign spectators began to worry.

They truly did not want to see Dragon Nation win.

"Stop scheming against each other. If this goes on, we'll be wiped out to the last."

The Khon Mask's expression turned grave. "I suggest we all attack together."

"For the record, this is my last life, so I ask the two of you to give it your all!"

Bloody Mary and the Ultimate Evil Ugly Emperor looked at the ghost face and the divine face atop the Khon Mask's head,

and silently nodded.

Oh right, right, right,

this is your last life.

That extra divine face on your head is just a decoration.

Heh... who'd believe that!

"I'm also on my last life."

"Me too."

The three terrifying beings each harbored their own thoughts, calculating their own schemes in their hearts.

However, even so, this time they would each bring out at least ninety percent of their combat power for this alliance!

"Ultimate Ghost Transformation!"

The Khon Mask roared, and its ghost face released an intense surge of resentment.

Its body turned a deathly blue, drained of all color. Vengeful spirits seemed to wail around it, and its sharp nails were pitch-black like steel spikes.

With a frigid hurricane, it lunged at Bai Qi.

Seeing this,

Bloody Mary no longer hesitated.

Her long dress was stained crimson with blood, and the cross on her neck shattered, radiating a bloody light.

She rotated her stiff neck, and countless thick, viscous hands of blood gathered around her with a whoosh.

All the blood hands intertwined and wove around Bloody Mary, forming a giant palm that blotted out the sky,

descending from above,

its shadow engulfing a hundred li in every direction.

Since everyone's making their move, I won't hold back either.

The Ultimate Evil Ugly Emperor loosened its grip on the balloon strings.

Dozens of human-head balloons, like wild horses breaking free of their reins, no longer bound by anything, shot madly into the sky.

Reaching a certain critical point, they suddenly began to **, their surfaces visibly and rapidly transforming into clown attire.

No longer the bloody appearance from before.

They pressed relentlessly toward Bai Qi.

The moment the three killing moves manifested,

even the sky changed color.

That overwhelming aura caused the earth itself to crack open with massive fissures.

The power contained in these three killing moves—even if a beyond-SSS-Rank powerhouse appeared at this moment, they could only be reduced to ash.

"Finally decided to come seek death together?"

A trace of gratification appeared on Bai Qi's face as he gripped his long sword.

Just at the instant the three attacks were about to land on him,

his resolute gaze flickered with a savage light, as though it came from the abyss of hell.

Murderous qi swirled around him, killing intent coiled around his sword, Bai Qi let out a loud roar,

"Die!"

"Hum!"

"In an instant!"

Blood-red pressure burst from his eyes, spreading across the heavens and earth in all directions.

The chilling killing intent made the surrounding time seem to freeze.

The three killing moves that originally came with overwhelming force,

At this moment,

actually, under the pressure, seemed to be slowed down by more than ten thousand times,

slow and leisurely, appearing to have no attacking power at all.

They, as if they dared not approach Bai Qi?

"What a terrifying pressure; our killing moves actually scared us into not daring to approach!"

The hearts of the three summoned creatures, the Kong Ju Mask etc., all rose to their throats at this moment.

The killing moves they released were pure non-living energy attacks.

Now,

These non-living, emotionless killing moves, controlled solely by them,

actually resembled a shrinking turtle, so frightened they dared not even approach Bai Qi!

"What the hell…… the summoned creatures of the Dragon Nation, what on earth are they?!"

"Wasn't it just said earlier that he's merely a historical figure?!!"

Sexy Mary's chest heaved uncontrollably.

Do ordinary historical figures have such power?

Moreover, are historical figures weak?

Weak my ass!

Anyone whose name is remembered by posterity and respected by them—how many are ordinary people?

"I don't know why, but I kind of don't want to fight anymore; can I forfeit mid-match?"

The perpetually proud Sexy Mary has already admitted defeat in her heart.

Can't beat him, absolutely can't beat him!

However,

Just as this thought left her mouth,

A terrifying aura suddenly appeared behind her.

"What reason is there to forfeit mid-match when attacking me?"

Bai Qi, who was still several kilometers away from Sexy Mary just a moment ago, mysteriously appeared behind her in the blink of an eye.

"Wait! Hear me out……"

"I don't want to listen!"

Bai Qi snorted coldly, a flash of cold light, and his sharp sword blade severed Sexy Mary's head.

The opponent widened his eyes, face full of terror, not even thinking he'd have time to beg for mercy.

"So what's next……"

Bai Qi turned his head to look at the Kong Ju Mask.

The Kong Ju Mask also felt that dangerous gaze fixed firmly on it.
