Chapter 2033 - 1537-1538: You Forsake the Path to Heaven, Yet Force Your Way into Hell

"Your Majesty!"

Li Si’s figure emerged from the dark shadows behind, bowing respectfully. Though his clay-like face was expressionless, his eyes betrayed undisguised worry. He spoke up with trepidation.

"Your Majesty! As long as there are green hills, one need not worry about firewood. In my humble opinion, Your Majesty should consider activating the Twelve Golden Men Formation, using a million-strong army as the foundation to initiate it. Summon the killing gods, Bai Qi, Meng Tian, Wang Jian, and Zhang Han to guard the formation’s core and seal the tomb..."

"Too late, he is already here! Besides, why should I, a solitary monarch, fear a battle?"

Qin Shi Huang spoke in a calm tone, rising slowly from the bronze chariot. His sharp gaze seemed as if it could penetrate the crypt, directly viewing the scene outside the imperial mausoleum.

At this moment beyond the Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum, ripples of spatial waves expanded slowly over the mountains, disturbing the birds in the woods to take flight, cutting through the twilight sky like numerous scissors, turning the magnificent sunset into countless fragments.

The wind began to rise in the forest.

At first, it was a breeze, then the wind grew stronger, shaking the branches and leaves of the forest trees, causing the leaves to rustle.

An overwhelming oppressive aura began to permeate the surroundings.

Several leaves were swept up and spun in the air.

Suddenly, two figures appeared in tandem from the ripples in mid-air.

One held a sword in their arms, their entire being akin to a sharp sword hidden within a scabbard. Although no edge was shown, the lethal aura they emitted was as if they would shatter the sky with just one unsheathing.

The other individual’s momentum was much more apparent, their entire form radiating an unstable golden light, an oppressive yet fierce momentum that seemed unstable. Their muscles bulged, stretching clothing that was like a soft golden armor, the obscure oppressive aura permeating the air.

The moment these two appeared, the wind that swept through the mountains and forests abruptly stopped, leaving an oppressive atmosphere that made it hard to breathe. These two were none other than Dugu Qiubai and Jiang Dali.

"In such a beautiful place of mountains and rivers, burying oneself seems quite nice, at least there’s no worry about food and drink,"

Jiang Dali looked down at Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum, leisurely crossing his arms and joked with a smile.

Dugu Qiubai’s lips curled slightly, "If you want to be buried here with Qin Shi Huang, I don’t."

As they exchanged words, the atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive, throughout the mountain forest countless fragments of leaves and broken branches suddenly began to tremble and dance upwards, while the surfaces of the large trees and rocks in the mountains reflected a faint light.

As if this entire area of the imperial mausoleum was enveloped by a powerful terrifying will.

Dugu Qiubai’s expression suddenly turned grave and solemn, every hair on his body standing on end, judging solely by this terrifying pressure of will, the threat posed by the owner of this will seemed to be on par with or even surpassing that of the Regent King.

Jiang Dali’s eyes narrowed slightly, and then he calmly said, "Qin Shi Huang, I, the village chief, have come only for the Fire Phoenix Essence Blood and Azure Dragon Essence Blood within you. If you are willing to hand over the Fire Phoenix Essence Blood and Azure Dragon Essence Blood, I shall leave without another word."

Hearing this, Dugu Qiubai shook his head inwardly, thinking that these words did not sound like a peaceful negotiation, but rather added fuel to the fire.

Sure enough....

"Black Wind Village Chief...I must reassess my view of you after only three days!"

A vast and majestic voice seemed to come from the distant heavens, yet also seemed close at hand, exerting endless pressure on the listener, "I did not expect you to forcibly break through to the Breaking Realm with a heaven-defying destiny chart, not an easy feat. However—"

The moment the word ’however’ was spoken, it was like a thunderous rage, an overwhelming pressure accompanied by a powerful will swept across the world, causing the clouds in the sky to rapidly converge, with lightning and thunder.

"But you should not, having just broken through, dare to provoke me!"

Dugu Qiubai gritted his teeth, sensing the terrifying aura rising like a magnificent sun within the imperial mausoleum, a fine cold sweat emerged on his forehead, he spoke in a low voice with grit.

"His strength seems even stronger than when I encountered him in the Human Emperor Tower, did you misjudge? How much confidence do you have left?"

Jiang Dali’s expression was equally serious, sensing the terrifying aura of Qin Shi Huang which had suddenly risen, becoming much more terrifying than previously sensed, his tiger-like eyes narrowed slightly and he responded with a cold tone.

"Don’t worry! Regardless of whether he is bluffing or his strength is truly restored, we can both retreat unscathed. Are you scared?"

Dugu Qiubai’s eyes sharpened, he snorted coldly in response with action, his body plunged down from high altitude transforming into a sword light, and as he flew over the gate of Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum, he suddenly drew his sword, bursting forth in mid-air with sword light a thousand times more dazzling than the sun.

Boom!!—

The gate of Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum suddenly collapsed and exploded.

However, throughout, despite Qin Shi Huang’s increasingly angry will, he did not take action, seeming to be waiting, enduring.

Dugu Qiubai stood in the ruins of the gate, turned around coldly looking up at Jiang Dali in mid-air, his gaze seemed to convey a message.

"Look at me, am I afraid?"

Jiang Dali slowly grinned, speaking faintly, "Doors don’t hit back!"

After speaking, an indescribable terrifying momentum exploded from him, golden, black, and white patterns appeared on the surface of his skin, the terrifying physical strength diffusing even made the surrounding air distort, the magnetic field of heaven and earth became chaotic.

As strands of extreme light twisted and emerged from his body, the clothes transformed by Illusion Soul instantly became double wings, carrying his figure like golden lightning, ’boom’ breaking through the sound barrier, instantly rushing into the tomb below.

Rumble—

The two figures traversed the corridors of Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum as if it were an unguarded place, causing continuous tremors in the imperial mausoleum.

"Good, good!"

Qin Shi Huang was so angry he laughed, a mad and unrivaled dragon energy surged from within him, as he suddenly stood on the chariot with both hands raised, unleashing a tremendous astonishing momentum.

"You chose to not take the path to paradise, but break into the gate-less hell!"
