CHAPTER 543: CHAPTER 527: MELEE COMBAT_1

"Deluge and Wild Wind!"

The Truth-Seeking Elder roared, and the dark clouds above him began to rage. Then, heavy rain started to pour down, as if heavenly beings had received a signal to purge the mortal world with celestial river waters.

The wild wind suddenly gusted, whipping up the torrential rain like countless whips that brutally lashed downwards, piercing the Void.

If it landed, not only Xu Chu would die, but the entire Imperial Capital would also be torn apart by the storm.

Countless people looked up, their faces ashen.

"Enough!"

Suddenly, an icy voice emanated from the Ancestral Temple.

Han Xin stepped out, his black hair flying wildly, his gaze piercing. The war sword in his hand emitted a blindingly cold light that cut through the Heavenly Universe, creating a sea of swords and shattering all the falling raindrops.

Inside the Ancestral Temple, Qin Wudao was kneeling on a meditation mat, his expression calm, flipping through an ancient tome that recorded the legendary deeds of his ancestors.

It was as if he had no interest in the battle raging outside the temple.

Seeing the unfamiliar Han Xin, the Truth-Seeking Elder was inwardly alarmed. Another Origin Great Emperor martial artist who has never appeared before? How many more trump cards does the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court have?

However, at this moment, the arrow was already nocked; it had to be loosed. The moment he set foot in the East Border, it was fated that this day would be stained with blood—either Qin Wudao would die, or he would fall.

"Attack together! Kill!"

The Truth-Seeking Elder roared, his aged and bloodthirsty voice echoing through the cosmos.

"Death Abyss Sword, come forth!"

Lin Xiao Yun of the Lin Family called out, his gaze cold and indifferent. The Void behind him collapsed successively, revealing an endless abyss that seemed to entomb death itself.

Within the abyss, an ancient war sword emitted brilliant celestial light.

The Death Abyss Sword!

This ancestral treasure of the Lin Family, an Innate Spirit Treasure, concealed horrifying power. With the endless abyss serving as its sheath, it could annihilate all things.

"Gold and Silver Male and Female Basin, come forth!"

Jin Yinduo, from the Golden Cauldron Inn, also curbed his smile at this moment. Waving his hands, he shot out two beams of light that shattered a large expanse of the Void, forming two Treasure Basins.

An endless treasure aura diffused from the Treasure Basins, creating a presence no weaker than the Death Abyss Sword.

Clearly, this too was an Innate Spirit Treasure.

The Emperor Ancestor, holding the Golden Crow Sword, glanced at the Death Abyss Sword and the Gold and Silver Male and Female Basin. His eyes revealed a burning, greedy light. Such fine treasures!

If he also possessed an Innate Spirit Treasure, he definitely wouldn’t have been hunted down by Li Bai for hundreds of millions of miles, nor would he have lost the Taiyi Saint’s Court.

BOOM! RUMBLE!

Suddenly, the auras of four Origin Great Emperors pierced through Heaven and Earth. Their terrifying power surged, devastating vast swathes of the Void.

This wasn’t all. After the Truth-Seeking Elder and the other three Origin Great Emperors attacked, the experts from the three great Sacred Grounds and thirteen ancient-level factions also unleashed their terrifying might.

Nine rays of Myriad Ages Light roiled space-time!

Seventeen Pillars of Thousand Ages stood firm, supporting Heaven and Earth!

Twenty-three streams of Ancient Emperor’s Power shredded the raging wind and rain, blanketing the boundless land!

A total of fifty-three attacks, all locked onto Han Xin. The dazzling brilliance and the searing Power of Laws made the entire East Border tremble.

"The Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court is not defended by just one person!"

The Void vibrated. Li Bai’s carefree figure emerged beside Han Xin, treading upon a Twelve-Grade Green Lotus, holding a three-foot Azure sword, with the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Dao flowing around him.

"Yan Yun Eighteen Cavalry, hunt!"

Immediately, accompanied by the thundering sound of hooves, eighteen riders charged forth. They wielded scimitars, their faces covered with black cloth, revealing only their cold, ruthless eyes.

As the earliest figures summoned by Qin Wudao, their strength was formidable. Their leader had reached the Myriad Ages Great Emperor Realm, and all members had broken through to the Ancient Great Emperor Realm.

Empowered by their military formation, their combined combat strength was inestimable!

"Myriad Thunders Overhead!"

Seeing enemies appear one after another, the Truth-Seeking Elder formed a seal with his left hand and raised his staff high with his right. Thunder rumbled as countless purple lightning bolts burst from the dark clouds, tearing through the Heavenly Universe.

"Slay!"

Lin Xiao Yun attacked simultaneously. The Death Abyss Sword slashed out, augmented by the Death Sword Dao, carrying the intent to slaughter everything under heaven.

Both men had a clear target: they attacked Han Xin from two directions.

Among everyone present, Han Xin’s cultivation was the highest. If they could eliminate Han Xin, the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court would have no one left capable of fighting, and only then could they kill Qin Wudao.

"Sword of Humiliation!"

Facing their combined attack, Han Xin remained composed. He thrust out his sword, an attack imbued with a profound sense of humiliation.

This sword strike encapsulated the experiences of his past life.

It was as if, in a fleeting dream of a thousand turns, he had returned to his previous life. During his most destitute times, he encountered a ruffian who blocked his path and demanded he crawl between his legs—and he had indeed done so.

The world derided Han Xin, deeming him a coward. But what they didn’t know was that enduring the "humiliation of crawling between legs" better reflected the young Han Xin’s far-reaching ambitions and immense tolerance. He refused to be drawn into conflicts with insignificant people, focusing solely on pursuing great endeavors.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The three heaven-shaking attacks collided fiercely, causing the endless Void to shatter, time and space to fracture, and causality to cease.

"Suppress!"

Jin Yinduo roared, forming seals with both hands. The Gold and Silver Male and Female Basin rapidly expanded, reaching an astounding size of ten thousand zhang. Like two colossal mountains of gold and silver, they pressed down towards the Yan Yun Eighteen Cavalry with a force of immense weight.

The laws of gold and silver permeated the sky, their might unparalleled!

"Battle!"

The Yan Yun Eighteen Cavalry charged, their hooves striking the Void, conjuring myriad phenomena. A vast desert of sand materialized, its yellow sands swirling and billowing, obscuring the sun and sky.

At the zenith of the Nine Heavens, beside the blazing sun, a crescent moon appeared.

Sun and moon shone together!

BOOM!

Their attacks collided, annihilating everything in their path.

In the blink of an eye, only the Emperor Ancestor had yet to act. He stared fixedly at Li Bai, his surging killing intent like a tide as he advanced step by step.

"This ends now!"

Li Bai also looked at the Emperor Ancestor, his gaze turning exceptionally fierce. An Azure Sword Intent erupted, permeating all heavens. It forced every Swordsman in the East Border to bow their heads, their spirits trembling in awe.

Between Heaven and Earth, only a singular Azure Sword Qi remained. Birthed from a lotus in the Chaos, it seemed poised to cleave the universe apart.

At this moment, all swords dimmed!

Whether they were soldiers’ blades, sacred swords, or imperial armaments, all lost their brilliance.

CRASH!

As the sword rose and fell, it sundered myriad splendors and extinguished countless lives, rendering the world desolate—the twilight of myriad Daos.

Li Bai’s body quivered slightly as he strode towards the retreating Emperor Ancestor.

The opportunity to prove my Dao is today!

"Heavens... they... they actually held on!"

In the Imperial Capital, hundreds of millions of martial artists were dumbfounded, gaining a new appreciation for the strength of the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court.

Even while engaged in all-out war with the Myriad Demon Saint’s Court, they could still withstand the attacks of four Origin Great Emperor powerhouses. It was terrifying—far too terrifying!

However, when they looked at the other forty-nine experts, worry clouded their faces.

Relying on Xu Chu alone would not be enough to defeat forty-nine Great Emperor Realm powerhouses.

Does the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court have any other experts? If not, they are still in grave danger!

"The Qin Dynasty has no more experts! Attack!"

"Together, we will destroy the Imperial Capital, execute Qin Wudao, and sever Great Qin’s national destiny!"

An elder from the Lin Family surveyed his surroundings. Finding no other experts from the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court besides Xu Chu, he felt a surge of excitement and roared loudly.
