Chapter 1684

Su Han's words were brief but shocking.

I am the Hou Jue: "What kind of ability is 'Nian Xie'? Telekinesis?"

I am the Hou Jue: "The president possesses the power of the Chicken Talisman among the Twelve Talismans—so he can use telekinesis too, right?"

Miss Xia Shizi: "... Now that I think about it! The president has many abilities that overlap with Qi Mu Nanxiong."

That means... many of Qi Mu Nanxiong's superpowers are useless to the president.

Qi Mu Nanxiong: "'Nian Xie' means visualizing an image in your mind and drawing it spontaneously on paper... But! It demands extremely high mental energy."

Qi Mu Nanxiong: "But I believe the president's mental energy has reached '683'."

Marked.

Far beyond merely meeting the standard, according to Qi Mu Nanxiong's judgment.

Su Han's mental energy strength far surpasses his own.

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "... This ability! Amazing! I once thought of becoming a manga artist... If I had this divine skill, I'd find it easy to become one."

Miss Xia Shizi: "Yes... This ability is divine-speed for illustrating light novels or drawing manga!"

Su Xiao Xiao: "... What the hell am I supposed to do illustrations or manga for? When did I sink to this level!"

Su Han was speechless—he would never sink to that level! Just as he prepared to retort, a shrill alarm blared suddenly from within the society.

"Ding! Alarm! Alarm! Society member Qin Shi Huang has received fatal injuries! All society members, immediately."

"Proceed to support."

As the alarm sounded, brilliant red light flooded every corner of the society's chat interface.

In that instant, the society fell utterly silent.

Then, countless messages erupted forth.

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "Qin Shi Huang received fatal injuries? What's going on?"

Wei Bo: "Red alert... Haven't seen this in a while!"

Symbol of Peace: "No wonder... I sent so many useful items for Qin Shi Huang—but then Zhao Tianxin appeared, and Qin Shi Huang didn't."

Symbol of Peace: "So it's because... an accident occurred in Qin Shi Huang's world!"

Su Xiao Xiao: "... I'm heading over now."

Su Han's expression turned grave—he didn't even check the society chat to see what happened, choosing instead to rush immediately to Qin Shi Huang's side.

After all, the society alarm stated Qin Shi Huang had received fatal injuries.

If Qin Shi Huang died while he was reading the quest description, it would be hilarious.

Miss Xia Shizi: "President! Don't forget the Xinggong Society livestream—we also want to know Qin Shi Huang's current situation!"

Su Han did not answer; he purchased a Dimensional Travel Talisman.

Then he clicked "Travel to Qin," and his figure vanished instantly, leaving behind Zhao Linger, stunned and bewildered, and a calm voice.

"... I've run into a small accident! Leaving now."

"I'll return soon! If you have something to do,"

"Or can't wait, you may leave early."

"... Big brother!"

Zhao Linger opened her mouth but swallowed her words, pondered for a long while, then nodded slightly and murmured, "Off to another world again? Looks like... something serious happened."

Thinking of this, Zhao Linger's face showed worry: "I hope the incident isn't too serious—doesn't cause trouble for Big Brother."

... Inside a vast palace.

Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, sat high upon the dais, his expression steady and solemn, one hand tightly pressed against his abdomen, blood seeping from it.

Below, chaos reigned.

Dozens of civil and military officials stood tense with fear or ready for battle, facing the giant tiger in midair.

"... Didn't the first strike kill him? That power... is interesting."

The enormous Bai Hu had no expression, its face blank.

A cold voice emerged from its abdomen—someone was controlling the Bai Hu.

The Bai Hu radiated an almost terrifying aura, like a storm sweeping all directions, or a true dragon lying dormant.

Around Ying Zheng, a faint blue aura shimmered.

Though faint, the aura was incredibly resilient.

It was this very aura that had blocked the Bai Hu's sudden attack... "... Fortunately, I cultivated a good relationship with Lan Dian and obtained this defense barrier from him!"

Ying Zheng's face remained calm, but inwardly he felt relief: "Without this barrier, I'd already be dead."

But the blue defense barrier was imperfect... Even with it forcibly blocking the attack,

After the Bai Hu's strike, Ying Zheng's abdomen still bled from the shockwave, suffering internal trauma... Still, having it was better than nothing.

Without the blue defense barrier, the outcome Ying Zheng dared not imagine: "If the first strike didn't kill you, then,"

The Bai Hu's lips didn't move, but its voice boomed from its abdomen: "The next strike will kill you—just the same!"

Wang Jian, the senior general standing foremost among the officers, glared fiercely and roared: "Protect Your Majesty!"

At his roar, countless imperial guards surged forward.

Even knowing their role might be negligible, as long as they could grant Ying Zheng even a sliver of survival, these... imperial guards were willing to sacrifice their lives.

In a corner of the great hall,

Two tall women stood silently.

One was Yue Shen, her gaze deep and mysterious, like an unfathomable starry sky, every gesture exuding an enigmatic grace.

The other wore the attire of Shao Siming.

2.2 She was veiled, utterly still, her slender fingers brushing the void, green leaves swirling around her palms, subtly targeting the giant tiger above—ready to strike at any moment.

Before the Lesser Lord of Fate could act, the Moon Goddess reached out and pressed down on the Lesser Lord of Fate's hand.

The Lesser Lord of Fate paused, then turned to gaze at the Moon Goddess, her eyes shifting with faint confusion.

"Don't act yet!"

The Moon Goddess's voice was calm, yet as she studied the enormous Bai Hu, she showed shock—and even a trace of fear—"That Bai Hu... is not real! It must be one of the Mohist mechanical beasts... But this one is far stronger than I ever imagined..."

Indeed, the terrifying aura emanating from the mechanical beast nearly choked the Moon Goddess.

Or rather, the stronger one is, the more one feels the horror of this mechanical beast.
