$953 I gave you the opportunity, but you didn’t cherish it!

When the shocking scene happened, the whole hall seemed to be frozen by an invisible force, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The Japanese emperor, the monarch who was once high above and admired by countless people, now lay quietly on the cold ground, the fire of life had been extinguished, and there were several aftermaths of the attack that had not yet dissipated scattered around, proving the fierceness and cruelty of the battle just now.

The fall of the emperor was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves.

Beside him, the most solid line of defense should have been the well-trained guards and those beastmasters with powerful summoning abilities, but at this moment they seemed so powerless that they could only watch their monarch fall and could not be saved.

These strong men who usually think highly of themselves were now full of disbelief and horror on their faces, and their world seemed to collapse at this moment.

Everyone in the hall, whether it was the ministers of Japan or other guests, was shocked and talked about it.

They were full of doubts and confusion: What level of strength did this young man reach? Why could he break through the heavy guards so easily and take the emperor's life? What does his appearance mean?

Moreover, why was Shen Xingchen, the top master of Xia country, so respectful to him? .

This scene made the Japanese ministers present confused.

The hall fell into unprecedented chaos and confusion.

People began to whisper, trying to find answers from Shen Xingchen's actions.

Some people fell into deep fear, worrying that this sudden change would bring them a catastrophe.

Others began to consider how to protect themselves in this storm and find a new way out.

However, no matter how they speculated and discussed, they could not change one fact: the emperor of Japan had fallen, and a new era might be about to begin.

And the initiator of all this-the young strong man, and his purpose and motivation behind him, are gradually becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

At this dead moment, a hurried report came from outside the hall.

"Report to His Majesty the Emperor, the armies of the United States and Japan have all fallen on the coast of Xia Country, and all have been annihilated!"

This sudden report, like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattered the suffocating silence in the hall, and completely overturned everyone's cognition and expectations.

The urgency and shock in that voice made everyone present feel a chill running through their spines, and their hearts beat wildly involuntarily.

"What? How is this possible!"

The ministers of Japan exclaimed in surprise, their eyes widened in disbelief, as if they wanted to wipe the news out of the air.

His Majesty the Emperor had already issued a clear order that once a battle report came, it must be passed on immediately, day or night. They gathered here with the expectation of victory, waiting for the expected victory.

However, reality gave them a heavy slap in the face.

The news that the coalition forces were completely annihilated was like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up layers of waves.

Japan and the United States, two powerful countries, joined forces, and they were defeated by a young beastmaster from Xia. This is simply a fantasy!

But every word in the report was so clear and unquestionable. It was like a sharp knife, cutting everyone's psychological defense line.

The voice of the communication continued.

"The one who defeated the coalition forces of Japan and the United States was a young beastmaster from Xia, Li Qingzhou. It is speculated that he may have reached the realm of a mythical beastmaster!"

"Li Qingzhou... Mythical Beastmaster..."

This name and title echoed in the hall, with an irresistible majesty and mystery.

Mythical Beastmaster, that is a legendary existence, the supreme honor and pursuit of the beastmaster world.

It is said that beastmasters who have reached this realm can resonate with the heaven and earth, summon powerful spirit beasts beyond imagination, and have the power to change the world.

And now, such a strong man actually appeared in Xia, and defeated the coalition forces of the two powerful countries by himself. How can this not make people shocked and desperate?

The atmosphere in the hall dropped to freezing point in an instant, and everyone's face turned pale as paper, with fear and helplessness in their eyes.

The fall of the emperor has made Japan lose its backbone, and the defeat of the coalition forces has made things worse, pushing Japan into an abyss of no return.

At this moment, they finally realized that Japan was finished, and the former glory and honor would become a thing of the past.

The voice was still going on, but no one had the heart to listen. The ministers either stood there or looked at each other, their hearts filled with complex emotions.

There was grief and mourning for the death of the emperor, shock and unwillingness for the failure of the coalition forces, and confusion and fear about the future fate...

"Could it be...you are the legendary Lord Li Qingzhou?!"

The voice of a minister trembled, and his eyes looked at the young man standing in the center of the hall with disbelief.

There was both shock and awe in his eyes. After all, he could make a strong man like Shen Xingchen show unprecedented respect, and he could end the life of an emperor with just a gesture.

Apart from the legendary mythical beastmaster, who else could have such a omnipotent ability?

Li Qingzhou's eyes were cold, as if they could penetrate people's hearts. He nodded calmly, without any emotional fluctuations in his tone: "Yes, it's me. Your choice has determined the outcome of today."

This sentence was like a verdict, bringing the atmosphere in the hall to a freezing point.

The Japanese ministers looked at each other, each of them with despair and unwillingness on their faces.

They had thought that with the power of the country, they could resist any external threats, but they had never expected that a mythical beastmaster would stand on the opposite side of them.

"Lord Li, please listen to me!"

At this time, a minister who seemed to be older stood up, and he tried to make his voice sound steady and sincere, "We can reconsider our position. In order to express our sincerity, Japan is willing to pay tribute to Xia Kingdom 100 million gold coins every year and promise never to violate Xia Kingdom's territory and sovereignty again."

However, Li Qingzhou's response was indifferent and resolute: "Humph, it's too late to say this now. I gave you the opportunity, but you didn't cherish it. The moment you decided to be an enemy of Xia Kingdom, the ending today was doomed."

Before he finished speaking, Li Qingzhou suddenly waved his right hand, and an invisible force instantly filled the entire hall.

All the Japanese ministers, whether they were nobles or officials, lost their breath at that moment. Their bodies seemed to be swallowed by an invisible force, turning into dots of light and dissipating in the air.

In the hall, only Li Qingzhou and Shen Xingchen were left, as well as the bodies that fell to the ground and could never wake up again.
