Chapter 623: Integration of the Six Paths

"I will tell you before I die."

Xu Fu said calmly.

Li Miao raised an eyebrow.

"Taking advantage of me?"

Heaven-Man is inherently strong in attack and weak in defense. For the two who are about to fight with the realm of the integration of the six paths, the outcome of life and death will probably be in an instant.

Xu Fu wanting to tell Li Miao the answer only before he dies is undoubtedly suspicious of distracting Li Miao's attention, making him unconsciously hold back and thus seizing the initiative.

Xu Fu was consistently frank.

"Yes."

"Although I think this is probably useless to you."

"But in a struggle of life and death, one must use every means."

Li Miao smiled and shrugged upon hearing this.

"That's true."

"Okay, I'll let you take this advantage."

He reached out and took out the fresh gold seal and the jade seal carved from a radish.

"Then shall we begin?"

Xu Fu nodded, retreated a step, and raised his hand to beckon.

The priests who had already made preparations not far away escorted the Japanese dignitaries guarding Kyoto over, each priest escorting one person, lining up neatly and orderly on both sides of Li Miao and Xu Fu.

Then they grabbed the necks of the dignitaries and pressed down violently.

*Swish*—

The crowd was neatly pressed to their knees.

Of course, not all Japanese were spineless and smart people. Naturally, some were unwilling to kneel to two inexplicable people, so they struggled involuntarily and wanted to open their mouths to scold a few words.

Before a few people could open their mouths, with a *hiss*.

The priests behind them suddenly drew their tsuba-less swords, stabbed them into the gap between their necks and collarbones, and stirred. A few people lost movement, leaving only a few corpses supported by the tsuba-less swords, kneeling on the ground, blood spreading along their lapels.

Then the scene became quiet.

Then Xu Fu retreated a step.

He raised his hands to his eyebrows, bowed slowly, and pressed his palms to the ground. The Yata Mirror was placed under him, mirror side up, reflecting Xu Fu's expressionless face.

Li Miao raised an eyebrow and sneered.

"Just a formality, but it's quite grand."

"Forget it, I'll cooperate with you."

"Let me think, what should I say?"

He stroked his chin, pondering for a moment, then clapped his hands.

"Ahem."

Li Miao raised the gold seal and the jade seal.

"By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees."

Following this sound, the priests suddenly reached out and grabbed the back of the heads of the Japanese dignitaries, smashing hundreds of heads onto the ground violently, making a uniform muffled sound, and at the same time, they also knelt down together.

In the silent ruins of the Imperial Palace, only the sound of breathing and Li Miao's voice echoed slowly.

"I have received the mandate of Heaven, ruling over the Chinese and the barbarians. Where my grace and power reach, none do not submit."

Li Miao had guarded the capital for more than thirty years without ever going out. During this time, he had seen countless foreign envoys and had been a guard for the Emperor's grand ceremony of conferring foreign kings, so he could be considered to have seen and experienced things. At the moment, he just casually changed the imperial edict he had heard back then and recited it.

But as he recited it casually—a change occurred.

Right before his eyes, Xu Fu's state changed drastically.

The full head of black hair began to gradually turn silver-white, the fair and young skin belonging to Nanako also wrinkled bit by bit, spots appeared, and the plump buttocks collapsed, as if walking through decades of time in a few breaths.

And Li Miao also felt that his salary was pouring into his body continuously, and his inner-heart illusion belonging to him expanded suddenly without control. Black gravel gradually covered the ground, the sea overturned, diluting the blood on the ground and swallowing Lady Xu's corpse.

He continued to recite.

"You, the King of Japan, have lived in Japan for generations, devoutly serving the Central Dynasty, admiring righteousness and returning, which is deeply commendable."

Every word that fell brought more changes.

The inner-heart illusion covering dozens of feet in radius swelled like a balloon. If someone were standing on the boundary to watch, they would be able to find that the boundary of the illusion was constantly extending outward, gradually wrapping the entire Imperial Palace.

And Xu Fu's body had already withered to the limit.

"Specially sent an envoy to carry the imperial edict."

"Confer you as King of Japan, and bestow upon you the gold seal!"

Li Miao raised his hand to beckon.

The gold seal that had just been cast was rolled by 【Wanxiang】 true energy and gently placed on the mirror surface of the Yata Mirror in front of Xu Fu. ===== CHAPTER 624 =====
