Sign In Xu Chu! Kill With One Sword!

However, there was always a way out!

Just as the sergeant cruelly forced the poisonous wine down Orion's throat, a mechanical sound suddenly echoed in his mind.

In front of him, an interface appeared that only he could see:

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Great Rebellion System!]

[Prince General Xiang Ning has the courage! This system is a comprehensive rebellion system, providing one-stop services for rebellion!]

[The host can sign in to the system daily, with random sign-in rewards!]

[You can also gain luck points by undermining the dynasty, such as killing generals, troops, or occupying and destroying cities!]

[Once your luck value reaches a certain level, you can draw a lottery within the system!]

[Rewards may include skills, elixirs, or even a legion of servants… Anything is possible!]

"A system?"

Hearing the voice in his head, Orion was initially stunned but quickly became excited.

A system—he was familiar with this golden finger that all time travelers supposedly received!

Understanding the system's function from the introduction, Orion felt a surge of hope.

[Ding! The host currently has a sign-in opportunity. Do you want to sign in?]

Without hesitation, Orion responded:

"Yes! Sign in!"

He felt a mix of nervousness and anticipation. Given the critical situation, he hoped the sign-in reward could help him escape this dire predicament.

The system's voice soon followed:

[Ding! The system is signing in...]

[Sign-in successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the semi-saint guard, Xu Chu!]

"Half-saint!"

Orion was momentarily stunned, then overjoyed.

According to the predecessor's memory, martial arts in this world were ranked as follows: Martial Artist, Martial Master, Grand Martial Master, Martial King, Martial Emperor, Martial Ancestor, Martial Saint, and Martial Emperor.

Above the rank of Martial Master, reaching Semi-Saint was exceedingly rare. Even his father, Lu Qingtian, was a renowned figure whose strength only reached the semi-saint level!

Now, with Xu Chu, a semi-saint, as his guard, the current crisis could certainly be resolved!

In reality, this all happened in the blink of an eye.

As Orion was about to be poisoned and killed, a tall, burly warrior suddenly emerged from behind him!

"Boom!"

"Traitor! Let's see who dares to harm my lord!"

The warrior's thunderous roar shook the air!

His imposing presence, with eyes like copper bells, exuded a powerful aura that overwhelmed the sergeants!

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The sergeant, who had been cruelly pinching Orion's face, was instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist by the warrior's overwhelming force!

"This is… a semi-saint?!"

The old eunuch's eyes widened in horror at the powerful aura.

In this era, with Wu Emperor extinct and Martial Saints rare, a Semi-Saint was truly a top-tier existence!

The old eunuch was taken aback.

Although the empress had prepared a backup plan, facing a Semi-Saint rendered that plan useless!

Who could have expected a Semi-Saint to appear so suddenly?

"Run!"

The surviving sergeants were filled with fear.

Though elite Royal Guards, they were like ants compared to such a powerful being!

"Don't even think about running! Come here!"

"Anyone who disobeys orders will be killed!"

The old eunuch's eyes were nearly bulging out of his head as he screamed frantically.

Despite his orders, he fled quickly.

With a burst of spiritual energy, he covered more than ten meters in just a few steps!

"Hidden Dragon Guard!"

Before running away, the old eunuch called for his backup.

The Hidden Dragon Guards were elite protectors of the Great Zhou royal family, each a top expert with the weakest being above the Martial King level!

This was the emergency plan the empress had prepared.

As soon as the old eunuch's call was heard, a dozen figures in black robes appeared from thin air.

Under their dark robes, only their cold, emotionless faces were visible—like unfeeling killing machines!

"Kill!"

Without hesitation, the Hidden Dragon Guards charged at Orion!

Their black robes flared as they unleashed their full strength!

Despite Xu Chu's presence, the Hidden Dragon Guards showed no fear or hesitation.

Raised to serve the royal family since childhood, they were willing to sacrifice their lives if necessary.

"Courting death!"

Xu Chu's eyes flared with anger.

With a swift motion, a gleaming long knife appeared in his hand.

"Die!"

Xu Chu roared, his eyes fierce as the long knife cut through the air, creating a silver-white crescent aimed at the Hidden Dragon Guards!

Simultaneously, he cast a protective light around Orion.

"Boom!"

"Ah… ah…"

The surge of spiritual energy blinded Orion, who could only hear the pained screams of the Hidden Dragon Guards.

When the scene finally calmed, he saw the ground littered with the remains of the Hidden Dragon Guards.

Their bodies were severed, intestines, and organs scattered around!

Orion gasped at the bloody scene.

Severed in half? That was brutal!

What Orion didn't realize was that the Hidden Dragon Guards had not only been physically cut in half but also had their souls cleaved by Xu Chu's blade!

Such was their resilience and dedication, they would not have screamed unless their souls were also severed!

Nearby, the old eunuch, drenched in scarlet blood, was paralyzed with fear, his face turning ashen.

"Unbelievable!"

The old eunuch's eyes nearly bulged out of his head!

He had hoped the Hidden Dragon Guards would hold their ground longer.

Instead, they were annihilated instantly!

Now that all his subordinates were dead, he was left vulnerable.

"Dead!"

The old eunuch's legs trembled uncontrollably.

He tried to flee, but his legs wouldn't cooperate, and a stream of liquid spread across his pants.

The old eunuch, terrified, had urinated himself!

"General Xu Chu, please pay your respects to the Lord!"

While dealing with the fallen Hidden Dragon Guards, Xu Chu ignored the old eunuch's terror.

He knelt on one knee before Orion, his face showing unwavering loyalty.

"Xu Chu, there's no need for formalities. Please, stand up!"

Orion's smile stretched almost to his ears as he looked with interest at the warrior whose name was well-known in history.

[Name: Xu Chu]

[Realm: Peak of Semi-Saint]

[Commander Value: 89]

[Loyalty: 100]

In this fantasy world, Xu Chu's strength had undergone extraordinary enhancements.

Though he was only a Semi-Saint, his aura was so imposing he was at the peak of Semi-Saint, just one step away from reaching the Holy Realm!
