373: No one can kill me!!!

Whoever the murderer is, they deserve to die! All of them deserve to die!!

"Arghhhhhh——!!!"

Xiao Jingtian roared at the sky; it was not a human sound, but more like the cracking of the earth's crust and the collapse of the firmament!

The dark red patterns all over his body suddenly lit up like red-hot branding irons, and the violent power of the Four Absolutes of Chaos leaked out uncontrollably!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ceiling of the cave where he was located, made of hard rock layers, was struck as if by an invisible giant hammer, shattering inch by inch. Huge chunks of rock, mixed with scorching magma, collapsed and pierced upwards crazily!

A beam of light, blood-red and containing an aura of destruction, erupted fiercely from the depths of Mount Fuji, piercing straight into the clouds!

The entire Japanese archipelago felt the terrifying tremor originating from the depths of the earth at this moment. Countless volcanoes erupted simultaneously, spewing thick smoke and flames, and the sky was stained a sinister dark red, as if the apocalypse had arrived early!

"...Swine!!!"

Xiao Jingtian's figure appeared amidst the collapsing cave and erupting magma. His eyes were blood-red, and his will to destroy had almost solidified into reality.

He needed to know the details! He had to figure out exactly how his younger brother had died!

It was not because their bond was deep, but because, now that his brother was dead, was it his turn, Xiao Jingtian, next?

The next moment, his figure had vanished from the spot, leaving behind only a constantly expanding lava tunnel leading to the surface.

The Japanese Imperial Palace.

Ever since he suffered torture on the level of his Soul at the hands of Laugh Commands the World last time, Emperor Showa's spirit had been in a state of trance and terror.

He barely managed to handle state affairs, but deep in his eyes, there was always a lingering fear.

He was currently in the side hall trying to conceive a child, hoping to produce a peerless Genius who could achieve great things in the future, return in triumph with Lu Jiuyuan's head, and wash away his shame.

Suddenly——

Bang!!!

The heavy solid wood door of the side hall, as if struck by a battering ram, instantly turned into countless fragments and exploded inwards!

A scorching, violent, and suffocating aura surged into the hall like a tsunami, instantly extinguishing the candles in the hall, leaving only the eerie dark red sky light outside the window, reflected by the volcanic ash.

Showa stiffened in fright. He looked up in terror and saw a figure as tall and imposing as an ancient demon god standing at the broken entrance of the hall.

That person had red hair like burning flames, scarlet eyes containing the madness to destroy everything, and eerie dark red patterns on his bronze skin that appeared and disappeared in the dim light.

Just by standing there, the surrounding air twisted from the high heat, and the stone slabs under his feet began to melt and char silently.

Showa had never seen this person before, but the thin Bloodline within him, which Laugh Commands the World called "swine," was screaming and trembling crazily!

This was a form of absolute suppression that was far more primitive, terrifying, and unmasked than when facing the Great Boss!

"Who are you?"

Showa, almost instinctively, scrambled and crawled off the bed, prostrating himself, his forehead pressed hard against the cold ground, his whole body shaking like a sieve.

Xiao Jingtian took one step and was already in front of Showa, looking down condescendingly at this shivering "swine."

He couldn't even be bothered to talk nonsense, directly extending his large hand covered in dark red patterns, grabbing Showa by the head, and lifting him up like a little chick.

"Argh..." Showa let out a painful whimper, feeling as if his skull were about to be crushed, and his Soul was burning under that scorching palm.

"Speak!" Xiao Jingtian's voice was like two red-hot boulders rubbing together, every word carrying scorching heat waves and pressure on the level of the Soul. "Where did the Great Boss go? What was he doing? Why did he die?"

"Wh... what?" Showa's brain, which was chaotic from fear, was struck as if by a thunderbolt, and instantly went blank!

The Great Boss... died?

That piece of trash, who talked so big when boasting, had only been out to sea for a few days before being beaten to death by that Lu Tyrant?

The immense shock even temporarily overwhelmed his fear of Xiao Jingtian, and he blurted out subconsciously: "No... impossible! That piece of trash, how could he die so carelessly..."

"Trash?" The violence in Xiao Jingtian's eyes flared up, and he increased the pressure on his hand. Showa immediately let out a scream like a slaughtered pig, feeling as if his head were really about to explode.

"You, a piece of garbage, a swine, dare to call him trash?"

Xiao Jingtian's palm was like red-hot iron tongs, burning Showa's skull, and the severe pain made him almost faint.

"Ancestor... spare me... it... it was Lu Tyrant Lu Jiuyuan! It was Lu Jiuyuan of the Central Plains who killed the Great Boss!"

Showa was streaming with tears and snot, screaming incoherently, "The Great Boss listened to my report and went to the Central Plains to settle scores with that Lu Jiuyuan! It was that Lu Jiuyuan who was too treacherous and cunning; he must have used some despicable means..."

"Lu Tyrant Lu Jiuyuan..." The flames of destruction danced in Xiao Jingtian's scarlet pupils.

"How old is he?"

"He is forty or fifty years old..."

"Bullshit, forty or fifty years old can kill Laugh Commands the World who possessed three thousand years of power! Old Man, was it a trap you set to lure Arrogant World into the Central Plains and murder him?" Xiao Jingtian muttered to himself.

He casually threw the almost unconscious Showa onto the ground.

Showa lay limp on the ground, gasping for air, his body soaked in cold sweat and the filth of incontinence, his eyes filled with nothing but extreme fear.

Xiao Jingtian didn't even look at him, his gaze piercing through the palace walls and looking toward the west. That aura of destruction made the entire palace tremble.

"Old Man, I am not afraid of you! Wanting to kill me, it's not that easy!"

The power of earth, water, fire, and wind around him became uncontrollably restless again. The walls of the side hall began to crack, the beams groaned under the unbearable weight, and the air became as scorching as a furnace.

He clenched his fist violently, and the dark red patterns all over his body erupted with blinding light!

Boom!!!

With him as the center, an invisible shockwave of destruction spread out fiercely!

The entire side hall, along with the palaces and pavilions within dozens of zhang around it, were crushed at this moment as if by an invisible giant hand, collapsing with a roar and turning into ruins!

The bricks and rubble were melted and vaporized by the high heat the moment they flew!

Smoke and dust mixed with high-temperature steam shot into the sky, but could not get within three zhang of Xiao Jingtian!

Showa was sent flying by this shockwave, crashing heavily into the broken walls in the distance, whether dead or alive unknown.

Xiao Jingtian stood in the center of the ruins, his red hair dancing wildly, like a demon god of destruction descended into the world.

He looked up at the sky stained red by volcanic ash and let out a roar that shook the surroundings:

"No one can kill me!!!"

The roar was like rolling thunder, spreading throughout the entire Japanese capital, even drowning out the roar of the distant volcanic eruption.

Countless Japanese people prostrated themselves on the ground in terror, thinking it was the divine punishment sent down by Amaterasu.

After venting his anger, Xiao Jingtian's figure flickered and turned into a streak of red light that tore through the sky, disappearing from sight.

After Xiao Jingtian finished venting his anger that could burn the sky and boil the sea, the red streak of light did not return directly to the depths of Mount Fuji.

He hovered in the high sky, overlooking Kyoto below, which was a mess due to his anger. The madness in his scarlet pupils faded slightly, replaced by a sense of clarity.

"Arrogant World is dead. Regardless of whether the murderer is that Lu Tyrant or the Old Man... Japan is no longer safe."
