Berserk God of War

Chapter 1866: Leading You to Slay an Emperor

At this moment, Old Fat Head was secretly observing Changwu Emperor.

The task given to him by Young Master Sikong was precisely to lead an Emperor Realm expert out from the Qianyuan Holy Demon Army, then cut down this emperor, causing the Life Lamp of the Holy Martial Stage expert to shatter and return from the direction of Nidao City.

That is to say, as long as an emperor on this side of Willow Leaf City dies.

Then the Holy Martial Stage expert will surely worry about Pei Yupo’s safety and immediately turn back...

However, luring an expert from the Qianyuan Emperor Realm away from the army is not an easy task. So, Old Fat Head disguised himself as a Qianyuan Intelligence Soldier and presented the Reflected Light Mirror to the other party, to see what reaction he would have next.

According to Young Master Sikong, if he couldn’t lure them out or if two or more emperors were drawn out, then he might have to use assassination to take this emperor down.

In any case, he must ensure that an emperor is taken down before the Holy Martial Stage expert reaches Nidao City.

Though Old Fat Head was merely at the Venerable Realm, he was once the subordinate of Su Old Demon and was very adept at assassination, taking down a first or second realm emperor was not too difficult a task.

Yet, in such circumstances, to assassinate and escape from the Qianyuan Holy Demon Army would be a life-or-death gamble.

But Old Fat Head was already prepared.

If the Changwu Emperor in front of him didn’t follow the plan, then the only option was to stab, to kill!

Young Master Sikong also said that even if forced to assassinate, he would find a way to save his...

While Old Fat Head waited silently, the Changwu Emperor finally crushed the Reflected Light Mirror with a "bang" and said, "You were mistaken, the person inside is not Shi Douxing, just a shadow of the Venerable Realm."

As the voice fell... thud.

Old Fat Head’s expression slightly transformed, then he hurriedly knelt down and replied, "Changwu Emperor, I deserve death, I mistakenly identified him."

Although he said so, Old Fat Head maintained his composure, quietly waiting for the second reaction from the other party.

In reality, the recorded image was certainly not Shi Douxing but his own figure... and he deliberately wanted the Changwu Emperor to discover the mistake because only a mistake would seem real.

Moreover, if he really used Shi Douxing’s image to present to the Changwu Emperor, there was no way the Emperor would go out alone.

Because a lone Changwu Emperor is no match for Shi Douxing.

Weighing the options, Old Fat Head recorded himself as merely at the Venerable Realm, allowing the Changwu Emperor to discover and relax his guard.

With only the Venerable Realm, the Changwu Emperor would certainly be careless.

Looking at the kneeling Old Fat Head, the Changwu Emperor pondered slightly and said, "It’s not your fault; judging the distinction between Venerable and Emperor is beyond your realm... But it’s strange that a Venerable suddenly appeared here, so I must go check."

If everything went smoothly, the Changwu Emperor naturally wouldn’t have the thought of going out...

Yet now, the entire Willow Leaf City Region between two great cities was filled with puzzling arrangements, forcing them to be cautious.

Saying this, the Changwu Emperor suddenly stood up.

After reporting to Pei Yupo, he immediately turned to Old Fat Head and said, "Take me there immediately to the location where you discovered the Venerable."

Old Fat Head quickly nodded and complied, swiftly pointing the way.

His mood slightly eased, knowing that the farther they were from Pei Yupo and others, the higher the chances of success even if problems arose midway during the assassination and escape.

Luckily, everything was progressing as Sikong Jing and Old Fat Head had planned, and the Changwu Emperor did not detect any issues along the way.

Even after leaving the Qianyuan Holy Demon Army, he still hadn’t realized that Old Fat Head was a fake.

Once departing the army, assassination followed by escape was easier, yet he refrained from acting rashly as there remained a risk of failure despite its simplicity.

Young Master Sikong’s order was for unequivocal success, with only one chance.

Therefore, Old Fat Head continued to lead the way...

The Changwu Emperor remained very cautious, continuously using his Spiritual Shadow Power to investigate the surroundings, finding no trace of danger or any threatening presence.

They were drawing closer to the location agreed upon by Old Fat Head and Sikong Jing.

Old Fat Head suddenly said, "Changwu Emperor, just in that direction, still some distance away."

However, the Changwu Emperor stopped at this moment...

He spoke with a sinister and terrifying tone, "No, the location you saw is not their camp, I now see them ahead, and there seems to be tens of thousands of them."

Saying that, the Changwu Emperor pointed to a spot in the forest.

With that, the Changwu Emperor moved, taking Old Fat Head with him, and his Spiritual Shadow Power had already detected tens of thousands concealed there, certainly the location shown by the Reflected Light Mirror.

...

It was nearly three hours since Sikong Jing had communicated with Old Fat Head, and Sikong Jing was now approaching Willow Leaf City.

He was currently in the forest pointed out by the Changwu Emperor...

And the tens of thousands detected by the Changwu Emperor weren’t a figment; it was actually a Willow Leaf squad encountered by Sikong Jing on the way back, not heading to Nidao City but near Willow Leaf City.

This became a perfect opportunity for Sikong Jing to leverage, making everything appear even more realistic, further relaxing the guard of the Changwu Emperor.

The Venerable within the Reflected Light Mirror, plus the discovery of tens of thousands hidden, presented no threat to an emperor, thus causing the Changwu Emperor to drop his guard and fall into their trap.

"Masked man, who exactly are you, and what do you want us to do?"

At this moment, the leader of the Willow Leaf squad stared fixedly at Sikong Jing, voice trembling with the question.

They had originally hidden in the forest near Willow Leaf City, observing the terrifying forces of the Qianyuan Holy Demon Army, not daring to act, but instead merging deeply with the forest to stay concealed...

But out of nowhere, a masked man easily discovered them and made them hide here.

Without any explanation of what they were supposed to do or whether the masked man was friend or foe.

Listening to the squad leader’s words, Sikong Jing, already wearing the Dark Wing Mask, smiled faintly and replied, "I want you to play along as we take down an Emperor Realm expert. You’ll soon achieve great merit."

At these words, the squad leader and his men were dumbfounded—take down an Emperor Realm expert?

Before they could react, Sikong Jing softly instructed, "He’s coming; don’t utter a sound."

Tens of thousands of Willow Leaf soldiers shivered slightly, then saw a fierce wind blow in, bringing two figures into view, none other than Changwu Emperor and Old Fat Head...

The former stood in the air, gazing towards the hidden Willow Leaf soldiers and asked with furrowed brows, "A squad outside the city? Have you seen a Venerable Realm expert? Speak up, and I’ll grant you a complete corpse."

The Willow Leaf soldiers were momentarily stunned, suffocated by the emperor’s aura.

In the end, their gaze instinctively turned towards Sikong Jing.
