CHAPTER 67: CHAPTER 67: REPEL THE ENEMY_1

BAM!

Tens of thousands of feet away, the Void collapsed with a thunderous sound. The terrifying shockwave shattered a nearby hillside, sending boulders flying in all directions.

An enchanting figure in a long pink dress was sent flying by the impact of the golden dragon fist. Countless flower petals drifted down, fluttering between heaven and earth, adding a touch of chaotic beauty.

"Qin Empire, I’ll remember you!"

The woman retreated several thousand zhang before stabilizing herself. Her long black hair hung disheveled at her waist. Her face was exquisite, but her resentful phoenix eyes marred her beauty.

Judging by her features alone, she was an absolute beauty.

Her name was Hua Wanxian, the Junior Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect. She possessed exceptional talent and a profound background. In the entire Flower Domain, no one dared to provoke her.

"You injured my people, and now you dare to threaten me? Do you think I dare not kill you?"

The Emperor of Qin’s face was cold, his eyes flashing with a dazzling killing intent that transformed into two beams of blood-red light, brilliant to the extreme.

He stepped forward, Evil Qi pervading the sky, a golden dragon protecting his body. The veins on his right hand bulged as, harboring destructive intent, he struck at Hua Wanxian.

This punch was enveloped in a golden fist aura, infused with the power of the nation.

"No... don’t...!" Hua Wanxian screamed. In the face of the Emperor of Qin’s attack, she seemed to see an entire nation bearing down on her, as if a sovereign emperor controlled the lives of all beings.

And she saw Death itself.

Facing this attack, she had no power to fight back. Once hit, she would undoubtedly die.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"

At the crucial moment, two figures appeared before Hua Wanxian. One was a rugged-looking man in royal robes, emanating a profound aura. The other, dressed in green robes, looked ordinary, his aura indistinct.

Together, they blocked the Emperor of Qin’s attack.

One threw a punch, swift as a thunderbolt, seeming to swallow heaven and earth.

The other thrust a palm, as if to eclipse the sun and moon and cover the stars.

BAM!

The three attacks collided like gods and demons clashing, creating a series of dull rumbles, as if the heavens and earth were roaring in violent fury.

Cracks appeared in the Void. All three of them retreated a few steps simultaneously, staring at each other coldly across a distance of a thousand zhang.

"Your Majesty, I have come to assist you!" Bai Qi and Li Si shouted as they tore through the air to stand beside the Emperor of Qin, both radiating terrifying killing intent.

Nie Jinglong, standing to the side, hesitated for a moment before flying toward Hua Wanxian and her allies. Regardless of the situation, they were on the same side, and their mission this time was indeed to chasten the Qin Empire.

Qin Wudao, who was observing the battle, commanded coldly, "Zhao Yun, go stop him!"

Zhao Yun, standing behind him, stepped into the Void. He transformed into a silver light, and an immense Spear Intent filled the air. His Brightsilver Spear shook the heavens as it locked onto Nie Jinglong.

Spear Intent? How is this possible? Nie Jinglong, usually calm, finally showed a change in expression, his eyes filled with envy. This small East Ancient Domain actually has martial artists who have comprehended Spear Intent?

Since he was six years old, he had dedicated himself to the Way of the Spear, practicing one hundred thousand spear swings daily. He never rested, regardless of wind, rain, or scorching sun. A thousand years had passed in this manner.

After immense effort and toil, he was hailed as the foremost Spear King in the Nine Great Dao Domains, yet he had never managed to comprehend Spear Intent.

"Fight!"

But then, an endless fighting spirit surged within him. As a pure spearman, I fear no enemy! So what if he has comprehended Spear Intent? Besides, I also want to know what Spear Intent truly is, and just how powerful it can be!

He thrust his spear!

Piercing the Nine Heavens!

"Pear Blossom Storm!"

Zhao Yun’s face was solemn as he rapidly swung his Brightsilver Spear. The sky filled with illusory spear images, forming blossoming spear-flowers that ravaged the heavens.

The two spearmen clashed, locked in a fierce battle.

「Meanwhile」

On another front, the Emperor of Qin and his two companions confronted Hua Wanxian and her allies. Their combined aura swept across the sky, splitting it in two.

"Execution Platform of God, appear!"

After a brief standoff, the Emperor of Qin’s expression turned serious, having decided to end the battle quickly. The sky above him suddenly cracked open, forming a ten-thousand-zhang rift.

An infinite wave of slaughter energy emanated from the rift, dyeing the surrounding Void entirely blood-red.

It was like a hell of blood!

The Execution Platform of God, wreathed by nine blood dragons, slowly emerged. It carried an aura capable of slaying immortals and buddhas above and annihilating ghosts and demons below, terrifying the three opponents, whose pupils contracted violently.

"Such a powerful aura! Could it be a Holy Artifact?" Cang Jihai, the Eighth Prince of the Azure Dynasty, yelled, his voice tinged with deep apprehension. He had never seen an Imperial Artifact, so he mistook the Execution Platform of God for a Holy Artifact. Of course, he didn’t believe the Qin Empire could possess an Imperial Artifact.

Only the sacred lands of the Primeval Continent were qualified to possess Imperial Artifacts.

Lin Tianxuan, however, was gravely serious, staring fixedly at the Execution Platform of God. He sensed that this weapon was far more than a mere Holy Artifact.

He too had never seen an Imperial Artifact, but he had seen a Holy Artifact. The Lin Family possessed one such Holy Artifact, yet its power and aura were far inferior to the Execution Platform of God.

"A Holy Artifact!" Hua Wanxian also stared at the Execution Platform of God, her eyes filled with greed. She had already decided that upon returning to her sect, she would report to the Sect Master and use the sect’s full strength to seize it.

The weak Qin Empire is unworthy of possessing a Holy Artifact! Only the noble Ten Thousand Flowers Sect is eligible!

"Suppress!"

The Emperor of Qin was unaware of their thoughts and initiated his attack. The Execution Platform of God, shimmering with blood-red light, and its nine roaring blood dragons, flew towards Cang Jihai and the other two.

An invisible Rule Power sealed off the surrounding ten thousand zhang of space, forming a prison.

"Azure Fist!"

"Profound Change Palm!"

Cang Jihai and Lin Tianxuan wore grim expressions. They didn’t attack the blood dragons but struck at the prison itself. They lacked the courage to confront a Holy Artifact directly.

BANG!

Both attacks landed on the prison but failed to cause any damage whatsoever; it remained completely intact.

"Flowerfall Kill!"

Hua Wanxian, however, did the opposite. She didn’t attack the prison but flew towards the blood dragons. The moment she made contact, she was bound to the Execution Platform of God, unable to move.

RUMBLE!

The pressure from the Void grew stronger, and Cang Jihai and Lin Tianxuan began to feel the strain. Soon, they could no longer hold on and reluctantly cried out, "Your Majesty Emperor Qin, we surrender! Please withdraw your attack!"

Whether they surrendered or not, they had already lost. Instead of being bound to the Execution Platform of God, it was better to surrender willingly and preserve what little face they had left.

Surrendering in a battle between Martial Artists was quite normal.

The Emperor of Qin paused his attack. Unlike Hua Wanxian, Cang Jihai and Lin Tianxuan had not harmed the citizens of the Qin Dynasty, and he had no wish to offend the Azure Dynasty or the Lin Family.

"This will not be tolerated again!" the Emperor of Qin said coldly and withdrew his attack. The nine blood dragons flew back to the Execution Platform of God, and the blood-red cage also gradually faded.

Cang Jihai and Lin Tianxuan heaved a sigh of relief, retracted their auras, and stood meekly in the Void.

"Emperor of Qin, my mother is an Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect! You’d better release me, apologize, and hand over the Holy Artifact, or else you’re doomed!" Hua Wanxian, still bound, shouted defiantly. Even with a metaphorical guillotine hanging over her head, she showed no fear, maintaining her aggressive posture.

She firmly believed that the Emperor of Qin would yield.

Because her mother was a half-step Saint expert!

Over the years, no matter how much trouble she had caused externally, she always emerged unscathed. This had fostered an arrogant and insolent character, causing her to disregard everyone in the world.
