"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for completing a villainous act."
"A spectacular entrance."
"The host is rewarded with Life Return."
Shen Du ignored the Villain System's voice prompt.
His crimson gaze swept across the entire military base.
Faces, stunned and horrified, came into view one by one.
An unprecedented sense of satisfaction immediately surged through him!
Replacing Saint Lord, the Fire Demon, seemed to have affected Shen Du's thinking.
He no longer held any reverence for worldly rules or social morality.
Instead, he quite enjoyed the feeling of wielding the power of life and death.
The experience of being above the mundane was simply dizzying.
"This...is Saint Lord?"
"The ancient Fire Demon?!"
All the special agents on the scene, armed with guns,
had complex and extremely shocked expressions.
They couldn't believe it in their wildest dreams: ancient demons actually existed.
And, one was standing right before them, alive and breathing.
Originally, everyone thought the so-called Fire Demon was just a story fabricated by archaeologists.
Demons simply didn't exist.
Saint Lord was probably just a mutant pretending to be one.
Archaeologists from the Eastern Continent probably hadn't seen how powerful mutants could be!
But now, everyone had woken up from their dreams.
The joke was on them! "Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for completing the villainous act."
"Haki unleashed!"
"The host is rewarded with Full-Level Armament Haki!"
Nice!
It was consistent with his imagination; he really did get a more generous reward.
Armament Haki.
A combat technique from the world of One Piece.
It covers the body with innate Haki, like an invisible armor.
It could enhance attack and defense.
It could reduce magic damage.
It could even touch the entities of Logia users.
How should I deliver my opening line?
Shen Du couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
In the end, he decided to borrow a line from the Desert Emperor.
This situation was undoubtedly fitting.
"Jackie Chan, are you prepared to face your Emperor?!"
A rich, magnetic, and magical voice echoed through the silent hall.
Hiss.
Everyone gasped.
Even the talkative Jade couldn't help but fall silent.
The Emperor?
Jackie Chan became thoughtful upon hearing this.
Saint Lord, as the former tyrant who ruled Asia.
The overlord of the Eastern Continent.
Indeed, this was no different from the authority of an Emperor!
This declaration also revealed Saint Lord's ambition.
The Fire Demon, who had made a comeback, and the last dragon on Earth, would once again dominate Asia!
He would rebuild the former empire and imperial city!
"Those who obey the demon will prosper, those who defy him will perish."
Shen Du once again spoke with a resounding voice, "Kneel before me, you weak mortals!"
Gulp.
Everyone couldn't help but swallow.
The sound of their throats moving seemed especially jarring.
Of course.
No one moved.
Kneeling to a hideous-looking dragon?
It was simply a dream! "Aiya!"
"Watch out for the talismans!"
Uncle reminded them again.
Because he had already discovered the Shadow Ninjas, swarming towards the vault where the talismans were located.
The Twelve Talismans symbolized the Saint Lord's twelve divine powers.
Gaining strength with each talisman recovered.
If all the talismans were reassembled, they would grant Saint Lord power comparable to a Supreme Mage.
And the vault held four talismans.
The Rat, Tiger, Horse, and Sheep.
"Magic must defeat magic..."
Jade, the quirky and clever girl, suddenly blinked her big, expressive eyes, and a wild idea sparked in her mind.
Using her advantage of agility, she used the stair-climbing trick to reach the vault first, leaping and grabbing the Rat Talisman, which could animate inanimate objects.
Then, she ran toward the terracotta warriors.
This is Lo Pei, the Dragon Warrior's terracotta warrior!
Borrowed by the archaeologist Jackie Chan to study the whereabouts of the other talismans.
Just as they were deciphering documents, Saint Lord led The Dark Hand in a surprise attack.
Lo Pei!
A warrior of the Lin Dynasty, the previous Supreme Magician.
The petrification magic he invented sealed the Fire Demon, who was about to wreak havoc, into a dragon sculpture.
"Since Lo Pei, the Dragon Warrior, could defeat Saint Lord once, he can naturally defeat Saint Lord twice!"
Jade secretly anticipated.
Buzz! The Rat Talisman emitted a brilliant light, instantly transforming into a streak of light that drilled into the terracotta warrior's chest.
In an instant.
The terracotta warriors regained their vibrant colors.
Resurrection!
"Where am I?"
Lo Pei, the Dragon Warrior, looked bewildered.
Then, he shouted in outrage, "Stop! Dark creatures!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Shadows rose from the ground.
They instantly transformed into fully armed black-clad ninjas.
Watching the dark creatures pledging allegiance to Saint Lord, Lo Pei narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly began forming hand seals and chanting an incantation.
A piece of paper inscribed with ancient characters floated in mid-air, enveloped in a green glow.
"Energy Scroll!"
Lo Pei shouted a warning.
Immediately.
The scroll unleashed a beam of light, dazzling to the extreme, sweeping through the void, obliterating the Shadow Ninjas, and destroying everything in its path.
The astonishing destructive power directly obliterated the metal door of the vault!
Even the archaeologist and Captain Black, who were far away, felt a chill run down their spines.
"We must prevent the Talismans from falling into the hands of the demon emperor."
Lo Pei, the Dragon Warrior, who had been brought back from the dead, began to chant an incantation, forming a hand seal.
Whoosh.
The shoulder decorations flipped over in sequence, revealing the internal, diamond-shaped grooves.
Three talismans were then drawn in by invisible energy and placed within.
He personally oversaw them.
