The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 390 - 391: Dare to Hit Me
Chapter 390 -391: Dare to Hit Me
The soul force cannons firing from the sides of the warships were spectacularly colorful and mesmerizing.
Yet beneath their beautiful exteriors, the beams of soul force unleashed were deadly strikes that snatched lives away.
These warship-mounted light cannons lacked the wide range and massive destructive capabilities of heavy artillery and did not possess the Molten Rock Cannon’s domineering penetration power, but were the type of soul force cannon that consumed the least soul power and offered the fastest attack speed.
Warships were the most suitable for carrying such soul force cannons, capable of effectively hindering the enemy’s approach and reducing the risk of friendly fire.
Had they been heavy artillery or Molten Rock Cannons, there was a fear that the Imperial Army would suffer from inadvertent harm amidst the bombardment.
The entrance of the warships instantly caused Qin Dynasty’s military situation to collapse; both the Central Qin Regular Army and the Allied Regular Army panicked and scattered, their last vestiges of courage thoroughly crushed at the appearance of the warships.
Who would still be willing to fight desperately when all hope of victory had vanished?
Watching the Qin Dynasty’s troops disperse and flee, Lin Qian did not rush to order the Imperial Army to pursue but directed Qingyu and Qiang Yu to continue shooting arrows from where they stood, while the warship’s light cannons maintained a staggered firing cadence, ensuring that those trying to escape did not have too comfortable an escape.
Even after many had been left behind, some of Qin Dynasty’s people managed to slip away, disappearing from Lin Qian’s sight.
Observing the Qin Dynasty’s fleeing soldiers, a playful smile emerged on Lin Qian’s face. During the preparations of the previous year’s events, he had ensured that the forests surrounding the cities of Qin Dynasty were riddled with soul force cannons!
Placing these soul force cannons could assist this war, and if the Qin Dynasty were to be defeated and its territory declared part of the Huaxia Empire, these martial installations could become defense fortifications for the Huaxia Empire.
The Qin Dynasty’s soldiers would never imagine that although they might escape temporarily, they could not evade forever, believing they had escaped danger when, in reality, they had stepped into a perilous situation.
Below, the blue whirlwinds and ghostly night shadows had already scattered in pursuit, heading into the Qin Dynasty’s interior to deal with the soldiers’ corpses.
You see, the soul force cannons deployed elsewhere were far more than just the mere five hundred heavy cannons here.
There was a mixed arrangement of heavy cannons, Molten Rock Cannons, and light cannons, which would seal the Qin Dynasty soldiers’ fate within range, leaving them with a dead-end path.
Since Lin Qian had arranged the soul force cannons in advance, there was no need for him to tire himself by leading the Imperial Army in pursuit.
After defeating the Central Qin Regular Army and the Allied Regular Army, Lin Qian looked up at another battlefield high in the sky, where Qin Dynasty’s forces clashed with the three other powers.
After all, Lin Qian’s own realm was limited, unable to summon the Awakening Realm warriors of the Imperial Army and the War Beast Army, having to rely on the strength of the elders from the three powers.
With the “shortfall” enhancement state and the Primordial Weapons perfected by the Fire Department, the elders from the three powers were suppressing the Awakening Realm powerhouses of the Qin Dynasty despite being outnumbered.
At this moment, the Qin Dynasty’s Awakening Realm powerhouses high above, engaged in fierce combat with the elders from the three powers, were already in disarray, clearly aware of their own regular forces’ rout below.

They knew exactly what had transpired from beginning to end, which only heightened their terror.
The Huaxia Empire was once considered a small, insignificant nation from the remote Coastal State?
Bullshit!
These Awakening Realm powerhouses were inwardly cursing with outrage, unable to comprehend where such misinformation had originated; the strength and sophistication of the Huaxia Empire’s forces were shockingly formidable.
The armor and Soul Devices worn by those soldiers made the Marquises and Generals green with envy; they couldn’t help but wish to go down, kill the opposition, and strip the gear from the soldiers’ bodies to wear themselves.
When the warship was still a great distance away, they felt nothing, nor did they take the time to sense it closely.
It was only when this aerial behemoth, with its unparalleled might, charged over that they were left staring agape.
Even with their breadth of experience, they could tell that this behemoth, so distinct from a Cloud Boat in style, was clearly built for warfare.
The Huaxia Empire was unfathomably deep.
“Coastal State…” One of the Marquises thought of where the Huaxia Empire had made landfall and a trace of distinct color flashed in his eyes, “Could it be, this is the reason behind the anomalies in the Southern Domain, the Southern Nine Provinces of the Huaxia Empire?”
However, before the Marquis could ponder any longer, the formidable onslaught from a broad-nosed elder of the Carefree Sect had already arrived, crashing harshly against him.
Below, Lin Qian looked up at the sky and suddenly waved his hand, “All return to the warship, stand by at any moment.”
After Lin Qian issued his command, he was the first to return to the warship. The rest of the Imperial Army hastily followed, each swiftly fleeing back to the ship, where they remained in their original positions, ready for his instructions at any moment.
“Ascend!”
Once back on the warship, Lin Qian immediately ordered. The arrays and rune pattern on his warship flickered with the luster of Soul Power, rapidly ascending into the sky.
Before long, the warship had risen to the altitude where the Awakening Realm battles of Emperor Qin’s Dynasty and the three factions were taking place.
Such an immense and unexpected visitor naturally drew the attention of both sides, the Awakening Realm powerhouses of Emperor Qin’s Dynasty now wore faces of shock, while laughter crept onto the faces of the elders from the three factions.
“Soul cannons of light, prepare…” At this moment, one side of the warship was aimed at the high-altitude battlefield, where over five hundred shadows moved at tremendous speed across the sky, various colors of Soul Power surging and colliding above, with ever-rising smoke from Soul Power explosions.
The surrounding mist had been completely dispersed by the fierce winds of their combat, utterly leaving the area with not a bit to be seen.
The warship’s side-mounted light-powered soul cannons kept adjusting their aim, though the muzzle moved very slowly.
The Marquises and Generals from Emperor Qin’s Dynasty, who were clashing with the elders of the three factions, likewise noticed that the warship had its cannons aimed at them.
Their earlier use of Soul Consciousness to observe the situation below had already informed them of the potency of these Soul Power cannons. Yet there wasn’t a hint of worry on their faces as they faced the warship’s Soul Power cannons aimed at them.
They were not like the Nirvana Realm soldiers of the Central Qin Regular Army below, nor were they the Soul Martial Artists of the Life and Death Realm of the Eight Regular Armies; they were bonafide powerhouses of the Awakening Realm.
Their battle with the elders was incredibly swift, and they didn’t believe the ship’s soul cannons could hit them.
Moreover, with both sides’ figures continually crossing paths, did they really dare to strike at them with the warship’s peculiar Soul Devices?
These Awakening Realm powerhouses from Emperor Qin’s Dynasty did not believe it. One of the Marquises even provocatively shouted at the warship, “If you can keep up with my speed, then hit me, why don’t you?”
Bang!
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a multicolored soul cannon blast struck, exploding fiercely on his face, like a rainbow of fireworks.
