Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1668: Chapter 1663: Command Nullification

”Just stand there, any further might lead to a misstep.”

The gathering of esteemed individuals did not surprise Fu Qian.

Facing Miranda, who was advancing forward, he casually reminded her.

The reason was simple, of course.

As mentioned earlier, as they descended gradually, everything became more ”real,” and perceptions began to return to normal.

Perhaps abstract rules were still invisible, but realizing that someone had silently arrived not too far and was eavesdropping was quite easy.

Long before asking the final question, Fu Qian had identified this member of the Provincial Relatives Group.

And Sha Ming’s answer to this matter proved that he likewise sensed it and didn’t mind Fu Qian knowing about his perception.

After all, the reflection of such ranking, and control over the situation, would strongly substantiate his previous statements, making the pressure exerted more realistic.

”What exactly is going on? Sha Ming!”

At this moment, under Fu Qian’s reminder, Miranda truly stood where she was, and her ensuing statement sounded just as genuine.

This warrior, brave enough to monitor the Night Watchman in reverse, seemed emotionally no better than Huang Leji and the others.

Staring intently at Sha Ming’s face, although Miranda logically should not have heard much, just Sha Ming’s posture, combined with a bit of imagination, was enough to reach numerous conclusions.

”See, answering questions head-on is always a difficult task, but I think now you should be able to draw your own conclusions?”

In response to this near-blood-crying furious interrogation, Sha Ming remained utterly unmoved.

Expressionless, he glanced at Fu Qian while commenting on both Miranda’s and his own actions.

...

It sounded somewhat reasonable.

Fu Qian, always focusing on the matter rather than the person, did not instinctively deny Sha Ming’s words because of his identity.

At this moment, besides Miranda’s ranking showing no anomalies, her anger was indeed full of vigor. There was yet another point that slightly corroborated her innocence — the encounter of Sha Ming’s and her respective teams.

Compared to Huang Leji’s group, who had already truly become like living corpses, merely digging holes in a dusty state, Miranda’s situation was clearly much better.

Fu Qian could even confirm that there were no other members following behind Miranda.

Not surprising, considering his provocation earlier, the facade of harmony within the team had broken, successfully creating irreparable cracks, making separation easy to happen.

But if Miranda indeed had Sha Ming-like intentions, she should evidently be inclined to bring the rest as expendable resources down the path.

”It seems this is why one should avoid participating in round-up scenarios whenever possible.”

While pondering, Fu Qian nodded slightly, expressing agreement with Sha Ming’s remarks.

Moreover, he even mirrored the latter’s actions completely, entirely ignoring Miranda.

This warrior, who had fallen tirelessly to this point, was thoroughly left aside as a fringe person.

”Furthermore, I have received your intents, very reasonable.”

The high efficiency continued in the next moment.

Without resorting to jest as many might have thought, Fu Qian shifted his tone, directly accepting the advice from Sha Ming and the Three Xun.

”So, let’s begin.”

Still in a gentle tone, yet under numerous gazes, a pale gold rattle bell was once again grasped in Fu Qian’s hand. He then raised his arms high above, gazing up at a forty-five-degree angle.

...

The transformation-like gesture undoubtedly sparked a strong shock.

After all, the struggle of a high-level Extraordinary, just the thought of it, imagined how frenzied it could become.

For a moment, not only did the furious Miranda stiffen on the spot, but she also lost the courage to continue questioning.

Even further below, Huang Leji, after a brief shock, disregarded the risk of explosive injuries and forcibly moved himself away from Fu Qian, returning to his original position.

And the most relaxed were Sha Ming and the Three Xun, not only showing no sign of retreat, but visibly appreciating this development.

No reaction? Indeed impressive.

But amidst the all-the-more-attentive gaze, two seconds into the pose, Fu Qian surprisingly had thoughts they completely couldn’t foresee.

The reason for the sigh was simple; Fu Qian wasn’t boringly frightening people. While assuming the pose, he attempted to initiate the Brilliant Tyrant.

A form of the Decree Residue once used in Leytin as an attempt against the Bloodline Clan’s Star Law.

Although it never ended up as the main force of world destruction, at least it proved effective against similarly rule-like entities.

In the current situation, it looked at least more apt than other methods.

The unfortunate part was that, in this Holy Land, the attempt was completely ineffective, as if directly forbidden.

Also the Return Edict...

Decree Residue...

In an instant of attempting, Fu Qian confirmed that his three halos had completely failed, just like Li Gui encountering Li Kui.

You are more formidable than Star Law, huh? Star Law can’t stop us from emitting light and heat, transforming into a menace.

Gazing at the rays in his field of view, amidst admiration, Fu Qian adjusted the tranquilizer in his hand, holding it horizontally in his mouth.

Since showiness was disallowed, the only choice was to be even more ostentatious.

Amidst the increasingly aghast gazes, Fu Qian even casually flipped his head, allowing the tranquilizer in his mouth to point toward another direction.

With that action, it was like the sound of glaciers collapsing, coming from beneath his gold-and-white robe and subsequently birthing immense expansion.

Stone fragments and mud dust, fell like rain.

...

Was that—a dragon?

The body tearing through obstructions, the view elevated, and within mere seconds, Fu Qian had already risen dominantly, a large portion of his body no longer within that narrow slope.

Though his expanded form caused a significant collapse in this torn ancient place, it allowed him to still overlook most team members and witness traces of some buried alive.

After all, they were all picked as capable individuals. The latter group soon emerged amidst flying debris, expressing fear with their eyes along with others.

The traces of humanity were completely obliterated.

Slender body, fierce claws, an intimidating face imbued with divine wrath.

The mysterious person was gone, now replaced by a new creation tightly coiled, exuding boundless coldness.

The surface of its reverent body was clearly composed of countless mirror-like facets resembling ice crystals.

Shifting glances, its dazzling presence was unbearable to stare at directly.

The only reminder of his former identity was the overly slender Bell Staff clutched within his jaws.
