118: Chapter 110 Iced Cola and the Emperor's Sword: A Max-Level Sister-Protecting Maniac Descends!

West Market ruins, black energy soaring to the sky.

The Headless Emperor gripped the sword of the son of heaven, the blade pointing directly at Pei Duo's forehead.

Xu Mo grabbed Lin Sa and the heavily injured Sun Ce, retreating wildly while pushing up his glasses and cursing, "To even dig up the ancestors of the Li Tang dynasty as thugs, this broken system's greed is truly disgusting!"

Pei Duo stood her ground, not retreating a single step.

The black jade pendant on her chest was searing hot. Nine black dragons churned deep within the jade, their thunderous roars about to burst forth.

The Headless Emperor swung the sword of the son of heaven down ruthlessly.

In the street behind, the Great Tang Underworld Soldiers marched in unison, raising their Long Saber sabers high, advancing like a black iron torrent.

The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons army swarmed from all directions, instantly filling the streets. Blue-faced, sharp-toothed yakshas and Hanged Ghosts with long tongues let out ear-piercing, shrill shrieks.

Pei Duo bit her index finger and smeared the bright red blood directly across the black gold jade pendant.

"Dragons of Great Qin, come out for some fresh air!"

A pillar of black gold light shot up from the ground, brutally tearing through the thick mist and heading straight for the blood moon.

Nine black dragon phantoms circled out, expanding rapidly as they met the wind, their massive bodies instantly blotting out the sky.

From the smooth neck stump of the Headless Emperor, corpse energy erupted like a geyser. In mid-air, it forcibly twisted into a tattered five-clawed golden dragon.

The Great Qin Black Dragon versus the Great Tang Golden Dragon!

The two giant dragons collided violently above the West Market.

There were no flashy spell exchanges, only the most brutal crushing of national destiny. The shockwave exploded, and the bluestones at the intersection were flipped up layer by layer, crushed directly into powder.

Twelve bronze pillars snapped in half simultaneously.

Lin Sa stabbed her dagger into the ground to barely steady herself. Sun Ce leaned against a broken wall, holding his breath as he stared at the dragon shadows in the sky.

"This is a war of attrition for national destiny!" Xu Mo roared while staring at the sky. "This bastard is draining the dragon qi of the entire Chang'an City's earth veins, trying to wear down the foundation of the First Emperor's jade seal! Fighting on home turf, the system has all the geographical advantages!"

Pei Duo suddenly raised her right hand, pointing directly at the Headless Emperor.

"Comparing foundations? When Great Qin was unifying the six kingdoms, the Li family hadn't even built a single government office!"

The nine black dragons let out sky-shaking roars simultaneously, opening their abyssal maws to tear and bite at the golden dragon of corpse energy. The golden dragon let out a mournful cry as large chunks of black corpse energy were torn away, dissipating into nothingness.

On the ground, the Great Tang Underworld Soldiers had already charged to within ten meters of Pei Duo. Their Long Saber sabers were raised high, slashing down with a shrill whistling sound.

Beneath Pei Duo's feet, the black gold laws spread frantically like mercury spilling on the ground.

The earth cracked open. Rows of terracotta warriors phantoms holding long spears emerged from the ground, their bronze spears meeting the Great Tang Long Saber sabers without yielding an inch.

The ear-piercing sound of metal clashing was deafening.

The terracotta warriors phalanx did not retreat a single step. The long spears pierced the iron armor of the Great Tang Underworld Soldiers, while the Great Tang Long Saber sabers shattered the clay bodies of the terracotta warriors. In the next second, more terracotta warriors continuously surged from underground.

Great Qin Arrow Formation, manifest!

Tens of thousands of bronze crossbow arrows took to the sky, covering the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons army behind like a rainstorm. Yakshas were shot through on the spot, and Hanged Ghosts were pinned to the walls. The military soul of Great Qin crushed all rebellious things!

The Headless Emperor took a step forward. With every step he took, the walls of the West Market collapsed in large areas. The earth vein power of the entire Chang'an City was continuously pouring into his body.

The golden dragon of corpse energy received replenishment, its size expanding again, tightly entangling the Great Qin Black Dragon.

Pei Duo felt a heavy resistance coming from the jade pendant on her chest.

"It doesn't even want Chang'an City anymore!" Xu Mo shouted at the top of his lungs. "The system is draining the source of this instance; it's trying to take us down with it!"

A murderous look flared in Pei Duo's eyes. Instead of retreating, she advanced, taking large strides toward the Headless Emperor.

"The territory of Great Qin, is it a place for a heretic like you to run wild?"

Pei Duo snatched the jade pendant and held it in her palm. Black gold light completely enveloped her right arm. She threw a punch, directly clashing with the sword of the son of heaven swung by the Headless Emperor!

Flesh and blood fist collided violently with the sword blade.

Space distorted intensely. An ear-piercing cracking sound rang out; a fine crack actually appeared on the blade of the Great Tang sword of the son of heaven.

The Headless Emperor's body froze, and the dragon robe on his chest peeled off in large areas under the impact of the air waves.

Underneath the dragon robe, there was no flesh or blood at all.

When Xu Mo saw the sight clearly, his scalp went numb.

The Headless Emperor's chest was empty! It was stuffed with a disgusting lump of meat flickering with crimson chaotic code. Countless black rule chains extended from the meat, digging into the limbs and bones like blood vessels, connecting to the underground formation of Chang'an City.

The system hadn't resurrected the Great Tang Emperor at all; it was directly parasitizing this imperial shell!

Pei Duo stared at that pulsing crimson mass and laughed out of sheer anger.

"Found your nest."

She gripped the black jade pendant tightly, and the imperial authority laws of Great Qin completely boiled over.

"Lin Sa, Xu Mo, protect Sun Ce!" Pei Duo issued the command without looking back.

"Eldest Princess, what are you going to do?" Sun Ce struggled to raise his head.

Pei Duo didn't stop at all, stepping into the absolute attack range of the Headless Emperor.

"The system likes playing parasite, right?" Pei Duo's voice was filled with extreme ruthlessness. "Today, I'll dig out its roots along with the rotten meat of this city!"

Beside her, Xu Mo's hands flew as he formed seals, the underworld emissary token expanding into a ghostly green barrier. He watched Pei Duo's back, his eye twitching uncontrollably.

"Crazy! She's charging directly at the formation's core with her bare body!" Xu Mo almost crushed his back teeth. "This Pei family is full of lunatics, a nest of daredevils!"

Lin Sa pulled out her dagger, standing in front of the barrier like a god of slaughter. She raised her blade and sliced off a yaksha's head, shook off the black blood, and said calmly, "She can win."

Sun Ce clutched his chest and gasped for air, his eyes full of fanaticism. The Eldest Princess of the Underworld was not only protected by the Underworld Son of Heaven; she herself was an emperor capable of suppressing an entire region!

The Headless Emperor sensed a fatal threat and suddenly raised his left hand.

The dragon veins beneath Chang'an City surged frantically, turning into hundreds of sharp stone pillars that thrust out from the ground, heading straight for Pei Duo's legs.

Pei Duo didn't even bother to dodge.

The black gold laws forcibly expanded an absolute domain beneath her feet. The moment the stone pillars touched the domain, they were like they'd hit a shredder, all breaking apart and turning into powder.

"Having received the Mandate from Heaven, may he lead a long and prosperous life."

From Pei Duo's mouth, eight words were coldly uttered.

The broken corner of the imperial seal of china burst forth with blinding light. The nine black dragons immediately gave up fighting the golden dragon of corpse energy, turned their heads, and dove down, brutally crashing into Pei Duo's right arm!

Pei Duo's entire right arm was dyed a pure black gold.

Her legs exerted force, and she shot up like a cannonball, forcibly breaking through the defense of the sword of the son of heaven and lunging straight for the empty chest of the Headless Emperor.

The Headless Emperor let out a silent fury, the crimson code in his chest flickering wildly as countless rule chains shot out, attempting to strangle Pei Duo.

Pei Duo swung her arm!

Her black gold fist smashed through the rule chains with unstoppable force. Large amounts of data streams exploded from the breaks, dissipating into the air.

Pei Duo's palm pierced directly into the Headless Emperor's chest, grabbing that mass of crimson chaotic code!

Bone-chilling cold and extreme malice counterattacked frantically along her arm. The system core struggled desperately, releasing death rules sufficient to wipe out SSS-rank players.

Pei Duo's eyes turned fierce as the power of the jade pendant was continuously poured into her right hand.

"Get the hell out!"

Pei Duo roared, her right arm exerting force as she brutally yanked it out!

"Squelch—"

Accompanied by a tooth-aching tearing sound, that mass of crimson chaotic code was forcibly ripped from the emperor's chest into mid-air! The rule chains connecting the formation were pulled out by the roots!

The Headless Emperor's body instantly went limp and died. The sword of the son of heaven slipped from his hand and crashed heavily onto the ground.

The golden dragon of corpse energy in mid-air lost its power source, let out a mournful cry, and collapsed. The Great Tang Underworld Soldiers and the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons army stopped their movements simultaneously, turning into a cloud of ash and scattering with the wind.

The West Market ruins were deathly silent.

Pei Duo landed steadily. She held that mass of crimson chaotic code in her hand; it was still squirming frantically, trying to burrow into her skin.

Pei Duo's gaze turned cold, and the black gold laws directly strangled it.

The crimson mass let out a shrill electronic shriek and was burned into a pile of ash by black fire in the blink of an eye.

"That's it?" Pei Duo brushed the black ash off her hands with disdain and glanced at Xu Mo. "I thought the system of an s-rank instance would be more capable, but it's only this much."

Xu Mo deactivated the barrier and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Big sister, you literally just unplugged the system's internet cable." Xu Mo looked at the collapsed shell. "The earth veins of Chang'an City have been completely mangled by you."

Just as he finished speaking, the ground trembled violently again.

This time, it wasn't the underworld soldiers passing through, but the entire instance space collapsing!

The blood-dripping full moon in the sky was torn open by a huge black crack. The buildings of Chang'an City peeled off like paint from a wall, revealing the void darkness outside.

With the system core destroyed, "Chang'an Curfew" completely lost its underlying logic.

"The instance is collapsing." Lin Sa put away her dagger and walked quickly to Pei Duo's side.

Sun Ce stood up straight with Xu Mo's support: "The Eldest Princess's divine might is great. This place will soon return to nothingness; we need to find an exit as soon as possible."

"Exit?" Pei Duo touched the black jade pendant on her chest. "Since the system dared to set a trap, it didn't plan on leaving a door. It wants to bury us alive in the void."

Xu Mo's face looked grim: "No teleportation items, what do we do?"

Pei Duo looked up, her gaze locking onto the huge crack in the sky.

"If there's no door, then smash one out ourselves." Pei Duo gripped the black jade pendant again. "The imperial seal of china can even crush ancient gods; can't it split open a scrapped, broken instance?"

Black gold light soared to the sky once again.

Pei Duo held the jade pendant high. The nine black dragons circled in the air, instantly condensing into a world-splitting black gold giant sword.

"Even in the dust, sparks can be hidden; break for me!"

Pei Duo swung her arm down, and the black gold giant sword, carrying the unreasonable pressure of Great Qin's imperial authority, slashed fiercely toward the void crack!

"Boom—"

The giant sword accurately struck the crack. The entire Chang'an City fell into absolute stillness.

In the next second, blinding white light swallowed their vision. The entire instance space shattered completely like glass. A strong sense of weightlessness instantly hit them.

Pei Duo closed her eyes, forcibly penetrating layers of spatial barriers. The system's obstructions were like nothing before the imperial seal of china.

The weightlessness suddenly vanished. Pei Duo felt the sensation of solid ground beneath her feet.

She opened her eyes.

The surroundings were no longer ruins and lava. She stood on a bustling street. Above her were dazzling neon lights, and in her ears were the sounds of car horns and the bustling crowd.

Xu Mo, Lin Sa, and Sun Ce were all standing beside her, safe and sound.

Xu Mo pushed his glasses, looking at the familiar modern buildings with a look like he'd seen a ghost: "We... forcibly slashed our way back to the real world?"

Lin Sa looked around vigilantly. Sun Ce looked at the lively crowd and let out a long sigh of relief.

Pei Duo looked down; the jade pendant's light had faded, returning to its dull, gray appearance.

Just then, an exasperated mechanical voice suddenly exploded in Pei Duo's mind.

[Warning: Illegal boundary crossing detected!]

[Player Pei Duo has seriously violated the underlying rules of the Thriller Game!]

[The system is about to initiate the highest-level elimination procedure!]

[Countdown: Ten, nine, eight...]

Xu Mo's face instantly turned pale: "The system followed us to the real world!"

Pei Duo didn't even frown. She stood under the neon lights, her eyes full of mockery.

"You couldn't kill me on your home turf; now that we're in the real world, you have even less of a chance."

Pei Duo raised her chin and looked up at the pitch-black night sky.

[Three, two, one...]

The countdown reached zero.

Nothing happened. No lightning punishment, no elimination light pillar. That cold mechanical voice weirdly glitched.

[Elimination procedure failed.]

[Unknown interference detected.]

In the night sky, a huge void rift was torn open without any warning.

A foot wearing a plastic flip-flop stepped out lazily. Then, a young man in a black hoodie walked out of the void, yawning.

In his right hand, he held a fengdu son of heaven sword that was still dripping with divine blood, and in his left hand, he carried a half-drunk bottle of iced cola.

The young man hovered in mid-air, looking down at the entire city from above. He bit his straw and took a large gulp of cola, letting out a satisfied burp.

"System."

The young man's voice was lazy, yet it rang through the night sky like a thunderclap, carrying a lawless arrogance.

"Do you think that just because I've finished tearing down Takamagahara, I can't lift my blade anymore?" The young man flicked some ash with composure. "I've never cultivated good karma in my life; today, I just feel like tearing the system apart with my bare hands."

Pei Duo looked at that figure in the air, so familiar it was etched into her bones, and her eyes suddenly grew hot.

"Brother."
