"Have you finished venting?"

Wu Jun looked at Wu Qi, who was so angry that there was only a trace of reason left, and silently suppressed many complicated emotions.

He said solemnly: "After you have vented, go back and make up for the last blow. Don't waste that golden opportunity."

There was a sharp friction sound between Wu Qi's teeth. He lowered his head and stopped looking at Wu Jun's face, and walked away.

"He's not going anywhere. He begs to be there to accompany Sister Ruorong on her last journey."

Wu Qi gently held Ruorong's cold legs. No matter how noisy the battlefield outside was, Ruorong was always in his eyes.

Ruorong seemed to be asleep. Her eyelids did not tremble, and her leg fingers did not twitch. She just lay quietly on the cold ground. Her heartbeat became weaker and weaker, as weak as the sound of footsteps a thousand meters away. .

That beautiful, familiar, kind and gentle face that has been engraved in Wu Qi's memory for most of his life will never laugh, feel sad or scold him again.

Sleeping Beauty would not wake up, and Wu Qi fell into a deathly silence. He knew one thing secretly, that is, he had missed the chance to meet Ruo Rong for the first time.

No matter how much he waits, he can't send Ruorong off for the last ride.

"Sister, I can't afford to make mistakes."

After Wu Qi said a word in a voice as loud as a mosquito, he stopped making any movement, like a living stone statue.

The soldiers surrounding Ruorong and Wu Qi looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Wu Jun waved his legs to let the soldiers disperse. He first glanced at Wu Qi, who was closed to him, and stepped past his side.

"Pop", Wu Jun lit the cigarette he pulled out from his chest with a lighter. Orange-red sparks flickered alone along with the curls of tobacco. A second later, a man wearing a black military uniform appeared on Wu Jun's left without any warning. man.

"Standing Committee Member Wu, he is ready. It's time for him to be present."

The appearance of the man who spoke was similar to Wu Qi's. They both had an indifferent and sharp face, and they also had a pair of beautiful eyes as deep as the dark world. And at a deeper level, they carry exactly the same fifth-level power.

He is the successor of the divine dish "Roulette" - Shijia.

"Go, end the throne, and recover all the divine vessels." Wu Jun ordered calmly.

"No." Shiji replied calmly, as if he was confident and knew that he would definitely get something with his own strength.

Before taking action, Shiji glanced at Wu Qi, who was slumped beside Ruorong and looked like a stone sculpture. But he took one look and then looked away, because he could already see that Wu Qi had lost his most fundamental fighting spirit, and had lost from head to toe the aura of a strong man that could arouse his interest and competitiveness.

Wu Qi's words just now when he refused Wu Jun's order to fight were enough to convince him that he was the most suitable successor to the "Roulette", the divine dish, selected and trusted by the five standing committees.

He strode towards the chaotic battlefield where more than a dozen fourth-level beings were fighting, and looked at the physical wall composed of countless plague species that were mixed with blood and were standing firm under the siege of artillery fire.

He passed through the sky full of flying sand and rocks, and passed through the sky of projectiles and artillery fire. At the same time, the dark green atavistic scales surged onto his bare skin like a wave one by one, transforming his face into a ferocious atavistic mask. .

After he walked to a position two hundred meters away from the physical wall of the Plague Breed, he raised his right arm and held a palm-sized leg chain clock that slipped out of his cuff.

The three hands of the leg chain clock were beating moment by moment, and at that moment, his thumb was pressed against the button of the clock. He concentrated on raising his energy and pressed the east switch as he had rehearsed beforehand:

"The God of Time and Lutuo is here to stop time in this world!"

He murmured softly for a moment, and in an instant, liquid gray ripples rushed out from his chest! The gray ripples were huge and boundless, expanding to a radius of twenty kilometers in a few seconds! During this period, all objects and people that were passed through by gray ripples lost their colorful colors, and the movement of all things was also suspended!

The entire bloody and smoke-filled battlefield, as well as the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the three armies and all fourth-level beings in the fierce battle, were stopped by the "invincible power" at that moment.

"Wu Qi, that's not a half-baked thing like the 'time sense' that I've learned about. It's a real and genuine five-second pause!"

I was thinking to myself all the time, while my eyes were like a high-speed computer scanning the tall wall of the plague seed. The physical wall of the Plague Seed, which originally appeared airtight due to its high-speed rotation, now stopped completely, and all the gaps were exposed.

Moment by moment, through countless gaps in the wall of the plague species' body, the location of the emperor's body was found in a second. He used the next second to teleport to the body wall, and wielded his scale-covered left fist to create a huge bloody hole in the body of the large plague species.

The large plague species flew 1 meter away and stopped moving. It walked around it and walked to the emperor's throne, where he saw the emperor's body with his face on the ground.

There were only two seconds left, but that was enough to dig out the "mother stone" and "stone tablet" from the throne, and then take away the "bow and arrow".

Shi Mo was about to take action when he heard a rushing voice suddenly coming from outside the physical wall of the plague species.

"Don't be careless! The emperor has used the power of exchange of 'arrows' to evolve the ability to adapt to the power of time. Even if he is not 'dead', he will definitely be able to move in a world where 'time is suspended'!"

His brows furrowed for a moment, and he heard that the voice was indeed Wu Qi's.

"Wu Qi, wasn't my guy completely stopped..."

He grinned displeasedly for a moment, then raised his scaly claws and stabbed hard at the back of the emperor's head.

"Where does all this nonsense come from! The power of time suspension is absolutely wrong. I can't adapt to it with just the power of an arrow. I'm dreaming!"

Soon after, the scale claws stabbed into the emperor's head with sharp force, and the progress of the legs and arms was not hindered at all.

But before he could reveal his victorious smile, his pupils and expression instantly froze!

Reflected in his eyes was the sight of his right arm shattered into dozens of cubes of flesh and blood.

Not only did his scale claws pierce the emperor's head, but when his scale claws touched the emperor's throne, they were broken into dozens of cubes within a few seconds!

The emperor's frozen body suddenly rose up at that moment, and two black legs and arms struck from left to right like black lightning! Although he was shocked for a moment, he still responded as quickly as possible. But Shi Shi's defensive arms were all broken into countless cubes of flesh and blood the moment they were touched by Emperor Zuo. Among them, Emperor Zuo's legs and arms hit from the right side scratched Shi Shi's right face, immediately giving way to the right half of Shi Shi's face. More than a dozen cubes of flesh and blood spurted out from the face, and half of the facial features were cut off.

"How... Cocoa..."

Shiji's remaining right eye suddenly widened, but the rising throne did not give Shiji any room to escape or counterattack. He punched directly into Shi Shi's chest, and Shi Shi's skin, ribs, spine, lungs, and heart were all broken down into hundreds of cubes, and then he took out a simple "roulette wheel" that was filled with coal and gray light.

At that moment, his body was like a broken brick man, losing his balance and falling backwards after his arms and chest were destroyed. Emperor Zuo took advantage of the situation and made a move, dismembering Shiji's left foot.

"How dare I waste all my natural resources?"

After the emperor firmly grasped the divine dish "Roulette", he looked down at the crippled Shi and mocked mercilessly. The horse's "time pause" world is also automatically released when it reaches five seconds. As the world returns to bright colors, it also returns to movement.

Then the huge plague species that was penetrated by the moment flew out horizontally with a "swish", hit the other side of the plague species' physical wall, and flew up with it. And in every corner of the battlefield, the people and objects that were stopped for five seconds seamlessly connected to the movement trajectory before the time was paused, as if they had never experienced and could not perceive the "five seconds of pause". Same.

In that life, apart from the two parties involved, the Emperor and Shiji, Wu Qi was the only one who knew what happened outside the five seconds when time was suspended.

Facing the emperor who regained his advantage in an instant, he used up his last strength in extreme despair and asked with difficulty:

"I, my spiritual consciousness was taken away, how could it be," Shiji said, suddenly startled, "Isn't that just a scene?"

The emperor smiled contemptuously, and he walked directly towards Shi Shi's broken body. The first step was to crush Shi Shi's right foot, and the second step was to crush Shi Shi's hip bone. As he walked towards Shiji's head, he explained: "Did I mean the 'Made by the Gods' move? That's a real scene. It doesn't matter whether it's Bu Nao or Xu Fang, we can do it." Are you so naive that you think that with his majestic throne, he would be unprepared for a fourth-level alien from the east?"

Snapped. The Emperor's Throne crushed Shi Shi's waist and abdomen, and then crushed Shi Shi's shoulders. In the end, Shi Shi's entire body was left with only his neck and head, which had not been completely broken down into cubes of flesh and blood.

The emperor raised his left foot and lightly landed on Shiji's forehead. Hearing a crisp sound that was lighter than a watermelon cracking, Shi Mo's head was trampled into hundreds of red cubes, splattering all over the ground.

A moment after the solution, the Emperor stared deeply at the 'Roulette' that reached his legs. He placed the sacred dish 'Roulette' on his chest religiously. In the blink of an eye, the 'Roulette' was melted in, as fast as Is it normal to be attracted by the other three instruments of God

The emperor took a deep breath and murmured: "The four divine vessels are finally gathered in his legs, and the previous show can finally begin."

After finishing speaking, the emperor closed his eyes, raised the index and middle fingers of his right leg in front of his face, and his lips buzzed as if he was reciting some mysterious and terrifying incantation. At a certain moment, a mysterious bloody incantation suddenly lit up between the emperor's brows. At the same moment, the thirteenth thrones distributed in various locations on the battlefield all had the same shape of bloody incantations lit up between their brows!

"Dad, my forehead is..."

The walls of Noah City were there. As soon as Xu Xinsu left Xu Fang's arms, a ray of red light shone on her face. She saw the red spell on Xu Fang's forehead lighting up at a glance, and her intuition told her that it didn't feel like a good thing.

Xu Fang was stunned for a moment. He touched his forehead where the spell came out, but there was no strange feeling on his leg fingers. It means that the curse is not some kind of brand-shaped scar, but it comes from outside his body.

At that time, more looming red lights emerged from behind Xu Fang. Xu Fang turned around and saw that the huge battlefield with a huge crowd of people emitted strange and weak red light in twelve places.

Added to him, there are exactly thirteen ways.

"No way... ... "

Xu Fang stared blankly at the red light in the east. He had a premonition that his lips felt dry at this moment.

Same as Xu Fang. Omega and Maya, who were fighting to the death on the battlefield near the physical wall of the Plague Breed, and Wu Sheng and Chris, who had defected to the Hanging Eagle Jiuhui side, all had similar bloody spells on their foreheads.

Upon seeing this, the Xuan Ying Jiu Hui cautiously stopped fighting. They distanced themselves from all the thrones to prevent some kind of mechanism set up by the Emperor's throne to "bring the thirteen thrones to self-destruct and be buried with them after their death."

But what surprised them was that even the first throne Omega and the second throne Maya showed that they had no idea what the ajna mantra was.

"Hey, Maya, what's on our foreheads?" Omega asked carelessly, even though all his enemies were listening.

Maya didn't know either. He pretended to be calm and replied: "Should the backup legs set up by Lord Emperor for them be used to increase their combat power when he is unable to fight and complete the harvest."

Maya thought that his explanation was perfect, so that his enemies would be wary of hearing it.

But the faces of Fu Honghuang, Avide, Luan Yuqing and others showed surprise.

Why are they afraid

boom!

A bright red beam of light shot straight into the sky, its momentum was so majestic that it dominated the entire battlefield like a pillar holding up the sky!

The source of the light pillar is right next to Maya!

Maya looked back, and Omega's whole body erupted with bright and eye-catching red light. The blood-colored mantra between his eyebrows glowed a thicker and heavier crimson color, like a dazzling blood-red cross star!

"Is that the strengthening power given by the Emperor's Throne?"

"No, Maya..."

Maya saw the pained look on Omega's face. Before he could understand what Omega meant by "no", the violent heat from the mantra between his eyebrows suddenly penetrated his body!

Maya's body also emitted a dazzling red optical beam, and the mantra between his eyebrows erupted with terrifying heat, so hot that it almost melted him!

"Well, that doesn't strengthen it!"

Maya's expression changed suddenly, and Ma Zai's painful expression was also copied on his face. He was in the midst of the violent red-hot light beams. He barely opened his eyes and looked to the side, but Omega himself had disappeared in the red light.

The fear of imminent death, the anger of being betrayed by the most trusted emperor, the unwillingness to do nothing until the end, many negative emotions filled the mind of Maya, who had always been as bright as a mirror. , disappeared into nothingness together.

At the top of Noah City, Xu Xinxin felt something and immediately pushed Xu Xinsu away with a palm, and then a blazing red light burst out from his body!

The bright red beam of light, like the first and second beams of light, pierced the clouds and penetrated the sky. Xu Xinsu stared blankly at her father who was outside the red light beam, and undried tears ran out of her eyes again.

She rushed towards Xu Fang who was outside the light beam, trying to force her father out of the light beam, but an invisible barrier blocked her way and bounced her away even more.

Looking at his daughter who fell to the ground, Xu Fang's expression changed from distressed, to worry, and then to reluctance. In the past, he tried hard to squeeze out a smile, hoping that his daughter would remember her father when she thinks about her father in the future. He walked away smiling.

"Take good care of yourself, kid."

When he finished speaking, the mantra between Xu Fang's brows burst into intense light, and his body melted away without a trace in the light.

In more places on the battlefield, the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh, more and more red light pillars shot straight into the sky. The humans and wild life that were watching this scene quickly understood whether this was a life sacrifice from the Thirteen Thrones.

And whether it is a passive or forced sacrifice.

After seeing Omega and Maya melt and disappear with his own eyes, Wu Sheng also saw his own end. He was silent for a moment, then patted Honghuang's shoulder next to Yidong.

Wu Sheng's body erupted in a red light that reached the sky within a second, but he still endured the pain in the hot beam of light, and he mistakenly saw Honghuang and shouted:

"Sir Honghuang! He is Wu Sheng, the captain of the Crouching Tiger Squadron who was formerly affiliated with the Northern Territory Zhenguan Corps! Send a message to Renee Moses for him!"

"I said!" Honghuang shouted.

"The spirits in the sky of her Crouching Tiger team will watch her and accompany her to become the best general in mankind! Please let her move forward bravely without giving up no matter what!"

Hong shook Ye Yidong, and then shouted hastily: "He will definitely convey it!"

But before he could finish his words, Wu Sheng had already disappeared into the beam of light.

"damn it!"

Honghuang waved his fist angrily, and then his gaze towards the many red light pillars in the sky was filled with hatred for being wronged by the emperor.

The fifth throne has been forced to be sacrificed by the bloody spell, so it is not far from the ninth throne being sacrificed.

When Chris realized what had happened, he ran away from the battlefield as fast as he could. The people he met along the way, whether they were human soldiers, mutated animals, or plague species, all who stood in his way were instantly frozen by him. And with his desperate running, he finally saw Wu Qi's figure 100 meters away at the end.

"Owner!"

Chris shouted, but the power of the spell exploded at that moment, causing him to be trapped in the hot bright red light, unable to stop.

Fortunately, the beam of light reaching the sky also attracted Wu Qi's attention. The two were 100 meters apart, and Wu Qi immediately saw Chris in the red beam of light.

"Kris!"

Wu Qi raised his legs and ran towards Chris as fast as possible, because he already understood what the red light beam meant, and that was not the time for him and Chris to finally shut up.

"Owner... ... "

At the beginning, Chris had many things in his mind that Wu Qi said. He wanted to tell the story of the suffering he suffered in the Apocalypse Abyss, his daily experiences, and the story of getting to know Wu Qi's former friend. Although he also knew that time did not allow it, his unwillingness disappeared silently when he saw the figure of his master Wu Qi running towards him as soon as he saw him.

"Master, if he has a lifetime, he is willing to be loyal to me."

Wu Qi's footsteps came to a halt. He saw with his own eyes the peaceful look on Chris's face, as if he was completely relieved, and finally bowed 30 degrees to him.

"Chris, he..."

In the beam of light in front of him, there was no one he wanted to say the wrong thing to.
