Chapter 260: The Mysterious Magic Hand

"Lei... Zhenzi... I remember... you..."

An Yansha said in pain, his face blurred and unrecognizable, making it difficult to discern his expression. Lei Zhenzi had his hands around An Yansha's neck, making it hard for him to speak clearly.

Lei Zhenzi couldn't be bothered with him and walked slowly towards Qin Jun and the others. Although it seemed like he was walking slowly, he covered a hundred meters in just one step and quickly arrived in front of Qin Jun.

Looking at the imposing Lei Zhenzi, Qin Jun felt relieved. His loyalty rating of ninety made him unafraid of Lei Zhenzi's arrogance.

Although his breakthrough speed was fast, he couldn't keep up with the enemy's rhythm.

But that was fine. As an emperor, how could he personally go into battle? His subordinates were not there just to eat and do nothing!

"Your Majesty, how should we deal with him?" Lei Zhenzi threw An Yansha in front of Qin Jun and firmly pressed his right foot on An Yansha's back, rendering him immobile.

As he spoke, he took out a copper bracelet, which turned out to be An Yansha's magic weapon.

"Wait for now," Qin Jun said as he took the copper bracelet. He needed to rescue Xiao Zhulong from the bracelet before killing An Yansha.

He looked down at An Yansha and asked, "Old man, if you want to live, release my divine beast."

Of course, he was just saying that. Once Xiao Zhulong was released, An Yansha would die.

An Yansha smiled painfully and said, "I have already sent it back to the Abyss Gate's main altar. If you have the ability, go and challenge it!"

"I'll tell you, there are people in the Abyss Gate stronger than me, and even stronger than it. Even if you go, you will only meet your doom!" He said, looking at Lei Zhenzi with a provoking look, as if challenging him to go to the Abyss Gate's main altar.

Qin Jun couldn't help but frown, feeling angry.

He immediately took out the Silver Dragon Soul Spear, preparing to stab An Yansha.

"Wait, do you care about our gods?" An Yansha suddenly spoke.

"So what?" Qin Jun asked with narrowed eyes. Compared to Xiao Zhulong's safety, bargaining with An Yansha was nothing. After all, An Yansha would die in the end.

He was curious why Xiao Zhulong was considered a god by the Abyss Gate, and why An Yansha's eyes flashed with fanaticism when he mentioned Xiao Zhulong, like a believer.

"If you enter the Abyss Gate, you have almost no chance of survival. Trust me, even you, Lei Zhenzi, cannot come out alive. If I help from the inside, I can secretly release the divine beast." An Yansha said in a low voice, naturally having ulterior motives when it came to his life.

Whether Qin Jun would keep his promise after releasing him was another matter.

With a thud, Qin Jun stabbed An Yansha in the back with the spear. Blood splattered, and An Yansha looked up at Qin Jun with disbelief, clearly unable to keep up with Qin Jun's train of thought.

How could they go from talking peacefully to violence so quickly?

"You..." Facing An Yansha's angry gaze, Qin Jun sneered, "Your mouth escape technique is too weak to sway me, so you might as well die. What does the Abyss Gate matter? We will rely on ourselves to break in!"

As he spoke, he suddenly spewed out the Samadhi True Fire.

Tsk tsk! This was a Golden Immortal-level expert. How many levels would Qin Jun rise after killing him?

Thinking of this, Qin Jun became excited.

At that moment, a terrifying red hand suddenly emerged from the high sky, incredibly huge, even filling the entire black hole and reaching towards Qin Jun and the others. Startled, Lei Zhenzi quickly turned around and struck with his staff.

"Isn't this the red hand we encountered at the Divine Beast Lake last time?"

Qin Jun was astonished. He had thought it was created by Yan Jingxi, but now it seemed there was someone else.

As the golden staff struck the red hand's finger, Lei Zhenzi, far smaller than the red hand, only made it tremble slightly. Qin Jun didn't notice that An Yansha, enveloped in the Samadhi True Fire, suddenly emitted a burst of light.

His soul was leaving his body!

With a swoosh, An Yansha's soul flew into the sky, so fast that even Taibai Venus and Sha Wujing couldn't react, let alone Qin Jun, who was at the fifth level of the Mortal Realm.

"Qin Jun, I will make you suffer sooner or later!"

An Yansha's voice echoed in the sky, clear to everyone in the entire capital.

The red hand also began to retreat and disappeared into the black hole, followed by An Yansha. After they disappeared, the black hole also vanished.

"Why didn't you pursue?" Qin Jun frowned and asked.

Lei Zhenzi said in a deep voice, "The owner of that demonic hand is very powerful..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun fell silent. Even Lei Zhenzi said the owner was strong, so it was best not to provoke them.

But if the red hand was so powerful, why didn't it attack?

Could there be some kind of restraint?

Thinking of Xiao Zhulong again, Qin Jun's mood instantly became a mess, devoid of any sense of victory.

Looking at the ruins and smoke around him, he couldn't help but feel lost. Was this the strength of one of the Nine Lords of the Demon Path? Just one elder leading the charge could destroy half of the capital, even with all his subordinates mobilized.

Soon, his eyes became firm. In this world, no one was in control of their own fate. Wandering was useless. Only by becoming strong could he protect everything he cherished!

"It seems that I can't ascend to the throne for a while and need to rebuild the Vermilion Bird Platform."

Qin Jun smiled bitterly. At the same time, the Hundred Thousand Dragon Cavalry and the White Robe Army rushed over. Jia Xun, who was on the command vehicle, was extremely anxious. They could feel the devastating power even before they got close. How could he not be afraid?

Lei Zhenzi suddenly glanced in a certain direction and disappeared in the next moment.

Although Qin Jun was curious, he didn't have time to ask.

Daji and Xiao Li supported him as they walked towards the Dragon Army, with Tai Bai Jin Xing and others closely following.

"Is Hong Haier and Yuan Ba okay?" Qin Jun turned around and asked. These two guys had fought to the death for him, and he would feel guilty if they died.

"They are just unconscious, their primordial spirits are not damaged, they will be fine after resting for a few days," Tai Bai Jin Xing smiled. Although the battle was fierce, it greatly weakened the momentum of the Abyss Gate. The battle had such a wide impact that the spies from various countries in the capital would have definitely taken notice.

Once the news spread, the reputation of the Kingdom of Qianyue and Qin Jun would surely soar. It might even surpass the Southern Zhuo Dynasty. Even though the territory was not as vast, it would leave a deep impression on the entire righteous path of the Southern Domain.

Reputation is extremely important for a kingdom and its ruler. Wise men and strong generals seek a wise and powerful ruler. Once the reputation rises, many people will naturally come to pay their respects to the Kingdom of Qianyue and Qin Jun.

The significance of this battle is far more than just repelling the Abyss Gate disciples.

At this moment, Lei Zhenzi appeared in front of everyone again, holding the Mo Gu Jie that was foaming at the mouth. This guy had been beaten to the brink of death by Lei Zhenzi.

"Good, this guy can provide us with a lot of information about the Abyss Gate," Qin Jun's face revealed a sly smile.
