Chapter 187

However, Zhou Xuan did not stop there.

He knew well that Disaster Power alone was not enough to defeat this cunning enemy.

Thus, he concentrated his spirit again, mobilizing the remaining power in his body, preparing to launch a more violent attack.

Just as Zhou Xuan was ready to go, Xingluo had already quietly approached the cheater.

Her figure was agile, shuttling like a ghost on the edge of the black barrier, looking for flaws.

"Your opponent is me."

Xingluo's voice was cold and resolute; the short blade in her hand turned into a stream of light, heading straight for the cheater's vital point.

The cheater was terrified and quickly waved the gem to defend.

But Xingluo's offensive was like a storm, continuous and endless; every move was precise and fatal.

The black barrier appeared cracks under her attack, as if it could collapse at any time.

"You... how could you be so strong!" The cheater shouted in horror.

Xingluo did not answer, just attacking even more violently. She knew this was their only chance and must pursue the victory to defeat the cheater in one fell swoop.

Under the joint attack of Zhou Xuan and Xingluo, the cheater's black barrier finally could not bear the burden and collapsed with a bang.

The cheater himself was also shaken back repeatedly, in a sorry state.

"Now, it's our turn to expose your true face."

Zhou Xuan said coldly, while simultaneously activating the image device he carried with him, displaying the evidence he had long prepared before everyone.

That was the true historical record, recording the past glory and setbacks of the Disaster Empire, as well as how the cheater manipulated history and deceived the public.

With the playing of the images, everyone present was shocked; they dared not believe everything they saw.

"No! This is not true! You are lying!"

The cheater shouted crazily, but his voice had already been drowned out by the anger of the public.

The citizens of the Disaster Empire stood up one after another, their eyes flickering with the light of anger and awakening.

They finally understood the truth and also understood the tragic fate they had been deceived by all along.

"For our empire! For our future! We cannot be deceived by this liar anymore!"

An elderly general shouted loudly, his voice full of power and determination.

"Right! We cannot sit and wait for death! We want to resist! We want freedom!"

The citizens responded one after another; they raised the weapons and tools in their hands, preparing to fight the cheater to the death.

Seeing this, the cheater's face was as pale as paper.

He never expected that the conspiracy he carefully planned would be exposed so quickly, and even less expected that he would be deserted by his followers and left isolated and helpless.

"You... you dare to betray me!"

The cheater gritted his teeth and shouted, but his voice was already full of despair and helplessness.

Amidst the roars of the public, Zhou Xuan and Xingluo launched an attack on the cheater again.

This time, they no longer had any reservations, going all out to completely eliminate this evil enemy.

Although the cheater was powerful, under the joint efforts of Zhou Xuan and Xingluo, and amidst the siege of the public, he soon fell into a desperate situation.

He struggled and resisted desperately, but in the end, he could not escape the fate of failure.

"No... I cannot die here..."

The cheater shouted in despair, but his voice was soon drowned out by the cheers of victory.

With the fall of the cheater, the citizens of the Disaster Empire finally welcomed their own 387 light and hope.

They cheered and embraced each other to celebrate the arrival of this great victory.

And Zhou Xuan and Xingluo stood in the crowd, looking at all this, revealing a relieved smile—they knew they had completed their mission and also proved that justice would eventually defeat evil.

However, just when everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, an unsettling piece of news suddenly arrived—the cheater had been defeated, but the gem in his hand had mysteriously disappeared...

"What secret is hidden in that gem?"

Zhou Xuan furrowed his brows, his heart filled with doubt and unease.

"We must find it."

Xingluo also realized the seriousness of the problem; she looked at Zhou Xuan, her eyes flickering with firm light,

"No matter where it is, no matter what secret it hides, we must find it and completely eliminate this hidden danger!"

The two looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding again.

They knew the road ahead was still long, but they also believed that as long as they walked side by side, nothing could stop their footsteps forward...

"Xingluo, are you ready?"

Zhou Xuan's voice was low and powerful; he held the sword in his hand tightly, the tip of the sword trembling slightly; that was the longing and tension for the coming battle.

Xingluo looked back at Zhou Xuan, her eyes flickering with firmness and gentleness.

"No matter the result, I am with you."

197. 【You Must Persist...】

She gently touched the staff at her waist; that was the source of her power and her determination to guard Zhou Xuan.

Following the order of the two, the citizens of the Disaster Empire surged toward the palace where the cheater was like a tide.

Some of them held simple weapons, and others relied on their love for their home and their longing for peace, gathering into an unstoppable force.

Inside the palace, the cheater stood on the high throne, a strange smile hanging on his face.

He seemed to have anticipated the arrival of this moment, but the madness in his eyes became increasingly intense.

"Did you think you could defeat me like this? Too naive!"

He laughed wildly, waving his hands, and the entire palace was instantly filled with distorted energy fields, attempting to block the flood of the attack.

However, the citizens of the Disaster Empire did not retreat because of this.

They supported each other, moved forward bravely, and built lines of defense with their flesh and blood.

Zhou Xuan and Xingluo rushed to the very front; their figures shuttled across the battlefield, every sword swing and every spell cast was precise and fatal.

"Take this!"

Zhou Xuan shouted loudly, the sword in his hand turning into a stream of light, heading straight for the cheater.

The cheater sneered, easily dodging this strike, and countered with an energy wave, shaking Zhou Xuan back repeatedly.

"Zhou Xuan!"

Seeing this, Xingluo was shocked; she immediately cast her strongest spell, attempting to win a breather for Zhou Xuan.

However, the cheater's strength far exceeded their imagination; he easily neutralized Xingluo's attack and approached the two step by step.

"Is that all the ability you have?"

The cheater mocked triumphantly, "It seems the Disaster Empire is nothing more than this."

Zhou Xuan and Xingluo looked at each other, both seeing unyielding and firmness in each other's eyes.

They knew that the critical moment of life and death had arrived and must go all out to have a glimmer of hope.

"Xingluo, let's go together!"

Zhou Xuan swung his sword toward the cheater again; this time he did not reserve any strength.

Xingluo also followed closely behind, her staff emitting a dazzling light that complemented the sword light of Zhou Xuan.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, attacked the cheater with tacit coordination.

However, the cheater seemed to possess endless power; no matter how hard they tried, they could not knock him down.

"This cannot go on..."

Zhou Xuan felt anxious in his heart.

He understood that if this continued, they would sooner or later be exhausted by the cheater and defeated.

Just then, the cheater suddenly activated his final secret weapon—a massive energy ball condensed in his hand, emitting an aura that could destroy the world.

"Hahaha! Go to hell with me!" He laughed wildly and threw the energy ball toward the center of the battlefield.

Zhou Xuan was horrified at the sight; he immediately realized that the power of this energy ball was enough to level the entire battlefield.

He rushed forward without hesitation, using his own body to block that fatal blow.

"Zhou Xuan!"

Xingluo exclaimed, watching helplessly as Zhou Xuan was hit by the energy ball, his body instantly submerged in the dazzling light.

When the light dissipated, Zhou Xuan was seen lying on the ground, covered in wounds, his breath extremely weak.

Xingluo hurriedly rushed forward to help him up, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

"Zhou Xuan... you cannot die..." she said, choking with sobs.
