Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

“Theoretically speaking, as long as you run fast enough, you still have a chance to survive,” Ye Ge said.

The one-eyed samurai gritted his teeth: "Fine, I understand."

"Although the chance of survival is less than 1%," Ye Ge added.

One-Eyed Dragon: "..."

"There's nothing I can do, you're just unlucky," Ye Ge said. "Who told you to run into two teammates who would betray you?"

"Zheng!"

The middle-aged samurai suddenly drew his katana, pointed it at Ye Ge, and said with a grim face, "Human, are you trying to sow discord? You're asking for death!"

Ye Ge glanced at him indifferently: "I was just stating a fact."

Muramasa, however, seemed unconcerned, saying expressionlessly, "We are all warriors who voluntarily gave our lives for the Holy Emperor of the Sun Wheel. Our lives belonged to the Holy Emperor of the Sun Wheel from the moment we were born."

As he spoke, he slowly pulled open a section of his shirt at the collar, revealing a mark on his neck.

It was the mark of a red devil, unique to the Sunwheel Clan.

The Sunwheel Clan is a dark race with a very strict hierarchical system. The devil's horns on their mark represent their social class, ranging from one horn to the highest six horns. Lower-ranking warriors are required to obey the orders of their superiors unconditionally.

The demon around Muramasa's neck has five horns, meaning it is second only to the Sun Emperor.

Muramasa loosened his collar and said calmly, "The samurai of the Sun Wheel Clan cannot be betrayed, so you don't need to resort to such low-level tricks as sowing discord."

Ye Ge smiled and said, "Your fate is determined from birth. You can't decide your own life, and you can't betray it... That's true."

He turned to look at the one-eyed man: "Even if you were sold out, you probably wouldn't dare to feel anger or hatred, right? If you did, your soul would be severely punished?"

"..." The one-eyed dragon was silent for a moment, then glared at Ye Ge: "None of your business!"

Ye Ge chuckled: "Since that's the case, then hurry up and carry out your glorious mission to die. Remember, run due west along this road. When you can no longer see the moon, you'll be alive."

The one-eyed warrior remained silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and ran off in the due west direction.

Soon, the terracotta warriors on the battlefield came to life.

The terracotta warriors that the one-eyed dragon ran past were the first to awaken, the dust that had accumulated on their bodies fell off, and the joints of the stones began to move with a "crackling" sound.

Then, like dominoes, it spread outwards, and at a glance, hundreds of thousands of terracotta warriors gradually came to life, their stone eyes gleaming faintly.

They immediately chased after the one-eyed man in the direction he had run.

Because there were so many of them, they were a vast and mighty force, with horses' hooves trampling and wheels turning, raising clouds of dust, just like an earthquake!

Emilia and the others were initially quite nervous when they saw the terracotta warriors awaken.

Knight Airon drew his longsword and stood protectively in front of Princess Emilia.

However, when they saw the terracotta infantry, terracotta knights, chariots, and war beasts galloping past them without even glancing at them, and even deliberately avoiding the circle they were standing in, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

'These terracotta warriors were lured away so easily?'

Princess Emilia felt something was off.

In that case, it doesn't seem too difficult...

"Alright, let's go," Ye Ge said.

The group left the safe zone and headed towards the ancient city.

"Roar......"

Amidst the blood-red clouds in the sky, the enormous dragon-shaped black shadow still moved about, occasionally letting out low roars like muffled thunder.

Not long after leaving the safe zone.

Nangong Ru then received a status change warning from the Deep Blue system.

[Alert: Unknown substance detected invading the brain]

[Hint: Imagination +6, Brain Activity +4, Divergent Thinking +4, Unconventional Thinking +8, Dangerous Delusions +6, Excitement +5, Mental Strength +1800, SAN Value -2000...]

Nangong Ru was slightly taken aback.

What's going on...

Something has invaded her brain?

However, apart from the SAN value decreasing, all other attributes are constantly increasing, so it doesn't seem like some kind of debuff...

And why did the SAN value drop, but the mental strength actually increased?

Others also received the same notification.

Princess Emilia's gaze suddenly became unfocused.

The "world" before our eyes has also undergone some changes.

The embers on the ground burned and spread, and blood flowed like a stream.

The surrounding ruins, overturned carriages, broken houses, trees, and rocks were visibly covered by flowing, viscous blood at an alarming rate...

Soon, the thick, murky blood climbed into the sky and covered the entire world!

Horses neighed, and people cried out.

Guns clashed, smoke filled the air, and flames lit up the sky.

The soldier, wielding a long spear, stabbed several fleeing civilians.

Emilia seemed to see scenes from the old battlefield...

Those dead soldiers, whose bodies had been pierced by halberds, slowly stood up, their bodies burning with deep black, extremely yin flames, and their eyes under their helmets emitting a ghostly blue light, like resurrected ghost soldiers.

'Is this...a hallucination?'

Princess Emilia suddenly realized something.

"Duang!"

Just then, Ye Ge suddenly slammed his fist on her head.

"Ouch!!" The pain snapped Emilia back to her senses, and she turned around angrily, saying, "What are you doing???"

"Princess, be careful!" Knight Elon suddenly exclaimed.

Emilia was taken aback, then turned back around.

The extremely Yin Qin soldiers who had just appeared in her hallucination had actually appeared in front of her! Riding on a tall warhorse burning with extremely Yin ghost flames, they raised their more than two-meter-long halberds and slashed down at her!

Emilia: "!!??"

"Sword Technique - Severing the Southern Mi River"

In the blink of an eye, Ye Ge drew the straight knife from Nangong Ru's waist.

There was a sharp "hum" as a weapon was drawn from its sheath.

Emilia's eyes widened.

The long spear that had been swung towards her finally stopped a dozen centimeters in front of her.

A thin blue light flashed by, and the end of the long spear was broken in two.

The heads of the extremely Yin Qin cavalrymen, as well as the heads of the extremely Yin warhorses beneath them, all displayed a blue light and shadow, paused for two seconds, and then fell to the ground.

The Qin cavalry, driven by extreme Yin, fell and vanished in a wisp of black smoke...
