196: Unleash your trump card

The minister beside the Emperor of Hundred Battles Empire saw this, cupped his hands, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the Emperor raising his hand.

He dared not gamble; Ji Mo had gone mad with killing, and he feared his own Empire would follow in the footsteps of the Heavenly Wind Empire.

Sighing deeply, he spoke to the Empress: "Empress, it's not that I don't want to help you, but you've seen the current situation. If I'm still tactless, perhaps we will also die."

Seeing that begging for mercy was fruitless, and Ji Mo showed no Face even when others interceded, the Emperor of Great Yan completely gave up. "Ji Mo, I curse you, I curse..."

Knowing it wouldn't be good words, Ji Mo spat out Sword Light from his finger, and the Emperor of Great Yan's head exploded. Gak!

Thus, a generation's Emperor met his end; compared to Emperor Tianfeng, he at least had a visual.

Now, his only enemy was Lu Wu, who was leaning against the war chariot. He turned his head to look at the other party:

"Next, it's your turn."

Lu Wu's current state was very interesting; there was no fear on his Face, but rather he spoke faintly:

"Ji Mo, you are very strong, even stronger than this Young Lord. Decisive in killing, from this perspective, we are actually similar people. However, I tell you, you still can't kill me."

With that, Lu Wu directly retracted all his cultivation base, just leaning lazily on the war chariot.

In a battle, how strange an event this was.

"Is this giving up resistance? But from his words, that's not what he means!"

Ji Mo was momentarily bewildered.

The resigned Lu Wu smirked, still mocking Ji Mo: "Ji Mo, what if you're strong? In my eyes, you are still an inferior being."

"Ant, do you believe that your ultimate fate is still to be my dog? Come kill me, right now, come kill me!"

The more he spoke, Lu Wu actually began to roar wildly at Ji Mo.

His words constantly provoked Ji Mo to act immediately, even carrying a hint of anticipation.

"Hiss! What is Lu Wu doing?"

"Seeking death? He doesn't look like it either." Many people were surprised by Lu Wu's strange behavior.

Having witnessed Ji Mo kill countless enemies from beginning to end, even dozens or hundreds of Saint-rank cultivators, these people were no longer surprised that Lu Wu would be slain.

But now... this became somewhat eerie, inevitably making everyone's hearts pound.

"Your Majesty Emperor Yang, what does this Lu Wu mean? Is it some kind of conspiracy or trick?" Yan Qingcheng asked, puzzled.

Emperor Yang shook his head and smiled slightly, "It's not a conspiracy or trick. Lu Wu now knows that he can't do anything to Ji Mo, and fighting him further would purely be seeking abuse."

"Before, I told you that Lu Wu has a trump card left to him by his father. This kind of trump card can only be activated under an external life-and-death crisis."

"Therefore, his current behavior seems a bit crazy, like he's seeking death, but it's not. This is the result of Lu Wu assessing the situation, very clever."

"If Ji Mo stops now, or even abuses Lu Wu, it's fine. But once Ji Mo has murderous intent, Lu Wu's trump card will be activated, and Ji Mo will surely die."

Others might not be clear, but Emperor Yang, Elder Mu, and those Emperors certainly knew Lu Wu's intentions.

"Actually, without Lu Wu's provocation, with Ji Mo's Heart-Nature, he definitely wouldn't leave Lu Wu alive. This child also has the makings of a hero, but it's a pity, such a Prodigy... alas!"

In the end, Emperor Yang did not finish the latter part of his sentence, only sighing deeply.

Elder Mu also stared intently at Ji Mo, secretly making a decision, "Lad Ji Mo, that Lu Wu definitely has a life-saving trump card bestowed by the Blood Slaughter Blade Emperor. This old man won't make decisions for you. If your trump card cannot protect you completely, this old man will sacrifice his life to save you. The future path will only depend on yourself."

Just then, a voice transmission echoed in Ji Mo's Sea of Consciousness.

"Ji Mo, this Lu Wu is forcing you to act. Perhaps you don't know, but Imperial Sons with thick Bloodlines like Lu Wu are often bestowed with life-saving trump cards. Some might be weapons, talismans, a killing move, a wisp of consciousness, or even a Clone, all are possible."

"Looking at Lu Wu's arrogant demeanor, it's very likely the latter two, which would be somewhat troublesome. This Blood Slaughter Blade Emperor, I have also heard the Imperial Ancestor speak of him, he was a powerful figure ten thousand years ago, and now he is traversing countless Planes, seeking an Opportunity to Breakthrough to the God Realm."

"Such a figure must also have extraordinary connections in countless Planes, even figures in the God Realm. I know your trump card is not afraid of him, but there will definitely be a lot of trouble. Whether to act or not is up to you; I can only tell you these circumstances."

The Heavenly Dragon Emperor's voice transmission cleared Ji Mo's doubts. In fact, he had a vague suspicion, and now it was just confirming his conjecture.

These Emperors were all shrewd individuals, each looking at Ji Mo with expectant eyes, the meaning in their gaze being, "Act! Hurry up and act!"

These people came here to curry favor with Lu Wu, they were just intimidated by Ji Mo's previous slaughter, otherwise, they would have already started provoking Ji Mo.

Understanding all this, Ji Mo scoffed, 'No matter how powerful your father is, can he be as powerful as my eldest brother and second brother? A frog in a well.'

Seeing that Ji Mo hadn't made a move for a long time, Lu Wu became even more anxious than Ji Mo, and couldn't help but continue to mock Ji Mo:

"You bastard, lowlife, why don't you dare to act? Come kill me! If you don't dare to act, then kneel down now and submit to this Young Lord, become my dog."

"Slap!"

Such foul language, Ji Mo slapped him from a distance.

Lu Wu, along with his war chariot, spun 720 degrees in the air, his Face swollen high.

"For your foul mouth, I originally intended to give you a quick death, but now I've changed my mind. I'm going to torture you thoroughly right now."

With a thought, a long whip formed by countless small furnaces appeared in his hand, and Ji Mo even took out a lot of salt and chili powder to sprinkle on it.

"Slap, slap, slap..." "Ah, ah, ah..."

Don't misunderstand, this was the long whip lashing Lu Wu, and each whip that fell was accompanied by Lu Wu's scream.

Everyone present was dumbfounded; this scene was a bit eye-watering! Was he serious?

After several hundred lashes, Lu Wu had no good spot on his entire body; he was a complete bloodied mess.

Looking at the wailing Lu Wu, Ji Mo spoke:

"Lu Wu, today I will see the source of your arrogance. Even if it's the King of Heaven, he cannot prevent your demise."

His words were filled with supreme dominance and fearless confidence.

Pulling back a thousand meters, Ji Mo raised his hand and unleashed a Sword Qi, slashing directly at Lu Wu's head.

"He finally made a move! The moment that will decide today's outcome is here!"

Everyone's eyes were excited; those Emperors and Emperor Yang all stared intently at Ji Mo's Sword Qi.

"Young man, still too impatient! This is digging your own grave, truly unwise!"

Seeing the Sword Qi approaching, Lu Wu neither dodged nor avoided, instead straightening his head and aiming his glabella at the tip of the sword.

A smile, somewhat crazy, appeared on his pig-like Face.
