Their vision blurred and they found themselves in the capital's grand cathedral.
They exchanged looks of disbelief.
Beneath his feet was a smooth marble floor, and he could hear a series of impassioned words.
It was the Bishop of the Holy Church of Death, chanting his blessing to the Empress.
The Bishop's voice was loud and full of power, accompanied by holy music, resounding throughout the grand cathedral.
"My mother is currently ascending the throne, isn't she?" the princess asked.
"That's right, you can go find her right now" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"There won't be any problems?"
"There won't be"
"The people who kidnapped us — –"
"You can say it out loud, in front of everyone"
"And then what? What will happen? "
"The mastermind behind this will pay the price"
The princess stared at Gu Qing Shan deeply and gracefully bowed.
"I was very arrogant when I danced with you before, I'm sorry" she said.
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly clasped his fist to return the gesture and sincerely said: "It's nothing, as long as you don't treat others like that in the future, you'll definitely become a good successor to the throne"
The princess looked straight into his eyes and whispered: "I'll only act that arrogant when I'm choosing a husband"
Gu Qing Shan maintained his clasping fist posture, bowed again, and lowered his head without answering.
The princess observed him, then suddenly smiled and led the other ministers away.
Her whispering could be heard in the wind.
"… Anna … has some skill …"
Gu Qing Shan wiped the sweat off his forehead.
At this point, the Earth sword and Chao Yin sword flew through the window and landed in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief, put the two swords away, and scanned the sky with his inner sight.
The monster in the sky was about to break free.
I need to hurry.
Gu Qing Shan walked towards a secluded corner of the cathedral.
A boy and a girl were sitting in that corner, playing with a cartoon hero doll on the ground.
They were having so much fun that they didn't even notice what was happening outside the cathedral.
No one was taking care of them.
That's strange.
Gu Qing Shan scanned the two children with his inner sight.
That's normal.
He then scanned the entire cathedral with his inner sight and quickly found the parents of the two children.
The parents were leading a few guards, shouting their children's names from the other side of the cathedral, hurriedly looking for them.
— — what irresponsible parents.
Seems like this isn't anything strange, it's just that I've been too tense this entire time, thinking that something big is about to happen.
I've become a bit paranoid myself.
Gu Qing Shan smiled bitterly.
The two children noticed a tall figure standing in front of them and looked up.
"Who are you?" the boy called out.
"Gu Qing Shan" the boy asked.
"Ah, sorry to disturb you — erm, are you playing a hero game?"
"Yeah, it is," the little girl replied.
"Yeah, it's a fun game," the little girl said.
Gu Qing Shan crouched down and smiled as he asked the little girl: "Heroine, may I know your name?"
The little girl saw his warm smile and had a better impression of him. She replied, "My name is Sisi."
Gu Qing Shan crouched down and smiled, asking the little girl: "Heroine, may I know your name?"
The boy cut in: "What's there to see? It's just adults talking nonstop, it's boring"
The little boy interrupted, "What's there to see? It's just adults talking non-stop. It's boring."
"That's right, it's not interesting at all" Sisi pouted.
Gu Qing Shan stared at the cartoon hero in their hands.
He suddenly said: "I heard that there's a superhero who can fly, he'll perform killing monsters in front of the Empress"
"Really?"
The two children looked up, their eyes glowing.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Of course it's true, the monster has already appeared, the superhero will soon appear"
Sisi tilted her head and asked doubtfully: "Uncle, you're not lying to me, are you?"
Gu Qing Shan replied with a serious expression: "Uncle has never lied to a beautiful little girl"
"Wow, that's great"
Sisi believed him, stood up and ran towards the platform.
The boy quickly followed.
"Which hero will it be? I'm guessing it's the Justice Superman! "the boy said as he ran.
"No, I'm guessing it's the one-armed swordsman!" Sisi loudly called out.
They screamed and ran out of sight.
This place was quite secluded, so after the two cute children left, there was no one else around.
Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to see that the young parents were on their way to the coronation platform.
The two little guys would soon meet their parents face to face.
Done.
This was only a small matter, the next step is the real business.
Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag.
The light golden You Ji General armor set appeared, then broke apart into a helmet, breastplate, shoulder guards, arm guards, gauntlets, belt, knee pads, boots, and so on.
These sets didn't have any unnecessary decorations, only complicated runes engraved all over them, giving off an indescribable sense of beauty.
"Little girl, you guessed correctly, I really am a swordsman …"
As soon as Gu Qing Shan said so, the armor set scattered, swimming around his body like sentient fish.
In just a few moments, the entire You Ji General armor set had been donned.
Gu Qing Shan put on the silver mask and changed the title to [Talented General].
The Earth sword and Chao Yin sword automatically appeared.
"— — -although I'm a swordsman, I'm not a one-armed cartoon hero"
Gu Qing Shan's figure flashed and disappeared.
On the platform.
Varona's anger was evident.
The princess was telling the story of how she was kidnapped.
Following the princess' narration, the entire world went into an uproar.
The Fuxi Emperor had only just died and someone already dared to kidnap the princess!
The princess knelt down next to Varona's dress, silently crying.
Everyone stared at Varona, waiting for her to react.
Varona took a deep breath and loudly declared: "From now on, I shall be crowned King!"
"I shall protect my people, not letting them suffer the pain of losing their dignity!"
"I shall eradicate all evil and ensure this country's peace and stability!"
"I will love each and every one of the Fuxi Celestial Race's children like my own."
"I swear, I shall protect them!"
She quickly stepped forward, took the crown from the Bishop's hand and placed it on her head.
The Empire's Empress, Varona, had crowned herself King.
"I, Varona, am this country's King, I shall protect this country!" she loudly declared.
The Freedom Federation's President was the first to stand up and applaud.
The applause slowly grew louder and louder.
Crowning herself as King was obviously against etiquette, but the world leaders applauded her for her persistence and attitude.
The leaders cheered the entire scene.
All of a sudden, a mocking voice spoke up.
"The monster is in the sky, why don't you go and destroy it!"
The voice still came from the military.
This time, the Defense Minister himself spoke up.
He was a veteran 5th stage Combatant.
In the entire Fuxi Empire, he was the strongest Combatant second only to the Emperor.
Other than the Fuxi Emperor, no one could do anything to him.
Varona's anger rose again.
This is a live broadcast!
You dare to do this on the most important day of my coronation ceremony!?
She tried to keep her voice calm and spoke: "Defense Minister, I order you to gather your men and personally lead them to face the enemy"
The Defense Minister smirked: "A person like you who wears the crown yourself, who can you order around? Hah, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you "
Varona shook her head: "As a Combatant of the Empire, you've disappointed the Empire"
She suddenly looked up at the sky.
The monster was still struggling, about to escape from the coffin.
"Done"
A familiar voice resounded in her ears.
Her Majesty the Empress calmed down.
She reached her hand out to hold the black crow, softly begging: "Deity of the Holy Church, my protector, I need your power"
Strangely enough, the black crow seemed to understand her.
It spread its wings and flew up.
Following that, a little girl's surprised voice was heard.
"Mommy, look, I really didn't lie to you"
The little girl Sisi loudly called out.
In front of everyone's eyes, the black crow suddenly disappeared, turning into a blinding golden light.
The golden light slowly descended and hovered at the edge of the platform.
Everyone turned to look. It was an entity wearing golden armor and a silver mask.
No one could see his face. He was covered in a light golden armor, exuding an indescribable sense of mystery and dignity.
The Military Minister originally wanted to say a few sarcastic words, but he was also attracted by this golden-armored deity and couldn't say anything else.
He couldn't even see through this person's power.
He really wanted to treat this as Varona's bluff.
— — -but this isn't magic, there's no way it can fool the eyes of so many Professionists.
The black crow really did disappear and turned into this golden-armored deity.
There's no way to fake this.
He can even fly in the sky.
Only 5th stage Professionists can fly.
Since when did the Empire have a 5th stage protector?
Could he really be a Divine Envoy of the Holy Church of Death?
Just as everyone was secretly guessing, a low voice came from behind the silver mask.
"Varona, the Empire's new Empress. “
"I'm here" Varona replied.
"From today onwards, your will will be the direction of the Empire's longsword."
Varona spoke: "Follow my will, please kill that monster in the sky"
"At your service, Empress" the golden-armored deity replied.
Air swirled around him like a vortex, carrying him up into the sky.
Before anyone could see what happened, the golden-armored deity suddenly disappeared.
"Look, a meteor! How beautiful! "
The little girl Sisi exclaimed.
Everyone turned to look.
Only to see that in the gloomy sky, streaks of light were flying across the giant monster's body.
Complicated meteors appeared one after another in the blue sky.
The meteors fell like rain, circling around the monster and killing it.
The monster didn't have any chance to resist, it didn't even have time to scream before it was cleanly dismembered.
Even the coffin was chopped into flying sawdust.
Secret Art, [Silver Star]
Title Skill, [Rampaging Sword Qi]
[Rampaging Sword Qi: Your sword is surrounded by countless fine sword qi. Whenever you use this Skill, the sword qi will manifest into a shadow and attack with the same amount of damage. (Note: This Title Skill can only be used when using swords)]
This was a terrifying monster that no one had ever seen before, one that brought so much fear and pressure to everyone, yet it was so easily destroyed.
Everyone was stunned.
The golden light slowly descended again, stopping in front of the platform.
The golden-armored deity's low voice resounded.
"Empress of the Empire, do you have any other orders?"
Varona asked: "My protector, may I ask, what will happen to those who disobey the Emperor's orders?"
"This is the result" the golden-armored deity answered.
He disappeared, then reappeared.
A head was thrown onto the platform.
The head of the defense minister.
The defense minister's expression was calm, but also a bit solemn and contemplative.
His corpse was still standing on the grandstand, motionless.
Obviously, even at the moment of his death, he didn't know that his head had already fallen off.
This was such a fast sword!
Varona bowed: "Thank you, it's fine now, I will summon you again next time"
"I am at your service, Empress"
Saying so, the golden-armored deity disappeared without any warning.
No, he didn't disappear.
The black crow reappeared.
It cawed at the Empress before flying away.
This scene caused all the Professionists' expressions to change.
The black crow used an incomprehensible method to turn into a golden-armored deity, then used an extremely powerful method to kill both the monster and the military minister.
Regardless of what it was, it was powerful enough to make everyone feel despair.
At this moment, every single Professionist was silently asking themselves.
If it was me, would I be able to deal with this black crow?
— — the answer is no.
At this time, Empress Varona moved.
She bent down, grabbed the defense minister's hair and lifted his head up.
Her Majesty the Empress was facing the live TV camera.
"I am Varona, a lady of the Medici clan, a Cardinal of the sleeping God of Death, the Empress of the Fuxi Empire"
"No matter who you are, please remember who I am, and think carefully before offending me"
She casually threw the head down the platform.
Everyone went silent.
Only Ye Fei Li excitedly licked her lips.
