The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 393 - 394: Sword Suppressing Rivers and Mountains

Chapter 393 -394: Sword Suppressing Rivers and Mountains

As soon as Wu Xuan met Lin Qian’s eager gaze, he wanted to cry but had no tears and couldn’t help but slap himself again.

He regretted it deeply. Why on earth did he have to provocatively mock others out of the blue?

Now, he had completely caught Lin Qian’s attention.

Although they didn’t know what the spreading blood-red aura on Lin Qian’s body was, they saw after Lin Qian had killed an enemy, the blood-red aura intensified. And when he attacked the fifth warrior from the Emperor Qin Dynasty in the Awakening Realm, it was like cutting vegetables!

Even a fool could see Lin Qian’s strength had grown immensely.

Clearly, the blood-red brilliance enveloping Lin Qian and his prior action of killing five warriors from the Emperor Qin Dynasty indicated that he was enhancing his strength through some Mysterious Soul Skill.

Considering the combative look Lin Qian directed at him, Wu Xuan wasn’t oblivious to the fact that Lin Qian’s goal to amplify his power was to fight him.

At that moment, Lin Qian had already raised the Thunder Night Sword in his hand and said with a disbelieving tone, “Today, I really want to see if I can break through your hard shell!”

Boom!

As Lin Qian finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot instantly. The air burst behind him, brushing past many bystanders, the gust wrenching their faces painfully.

Seeing this, Wu Xuan set aside his sullen expression, raised the thick stick in his hand, and unleashed the Earth Attribute Soul Power inside him to the fullest, forming an immensely thick protective Soul Power in front of him.

In the moment that the sturdy protective Soul Power was formed, Lin Qian had already charged to his front, raising the broad-bladed black Thunder Night Sword high and slashing fiercely towards Wu Xuan.

Boom!

After the Thunder Night Sword landed on Wu Xuan, there was a deafening explosion that thundered around, causing many to furrow their brows as they used their Soul Power to protect their ears.

This massive disturbance drew everyone’s attention; they almost stopped fighting and curiously looked over, eager to know if Lin Qian could indeed shatter Wu Xuan’s hard shell.

Struck fiercely by the Thunder Night Sword in Lin Qian’s hand, Wu Xuan felt a sudden halt in his body and mind and fell sharply downward. The protective Soul Power in front of his eyes fluctuated wildly, like a calm lake disturbed by a huge rock, creating sudden waves.

At this moment, panic tightened in Wu Xuan’s heart. He had never imagined his protective Soul Power could be shattered to such an extent, resembling tempestuous waves and leaving him feeling chest tightness and shortness of breath. The overpowering force made him acutely aware, bringing a hint of fear to his mind.

As Lin Qian slashed Wu Xuan and sent him flying, he also burst forth with incomparable speed, diving down and flipping mid-air to chase after Wu Xuan falling below.

Boom!

The black, gold-etched Thunder Night Sword, indestructible, carried Lin Qian’s overpowering force, striking fiercely on the protective Soul Power around Wu Xuan.

Already plummeting quickly downwards, Wu Xuan’s speed intensified even further, the surrounding air tearing apart. Before reaching the ground, the river below was already indented, forming a whirlpool.

At the same time, Wu Xuan’s protective Soul Power undulated violently, even showing cracks, causing him to break out in a cold sweat and turn pale with fright.

While Lin Qian’s second strike hit Wu Xuan, numerous people in mid-air trembled, admiring the latter’s defense. After enduring such terrifying two blows, his protective Soul Power astonishingly didn’t shatter.

Some powerful individuals from the Dynasty in the Awakening Realm began to imagine themselves in Wu Xuan’s position, not daring to confirm whether they could withstand that strike.

The weaker first-level existences in the Awakening Realm even believed that if they were to forcefully withstand such a strike, they would likely be smashed into pieces by Lin Qian.

Lin Qian’s physical body was already terrifyingly robust. Coupled with the eruption of his Red Gold Thunder Soul Power, which increased tenfold, combined with the bloodthirst gained from royal authority in battle and stacking skills to their peak, his strength had doubled again.

This was twenty times Lin Qian’s original strength, which explained why someone in the Life and Death Realm could possess such frightening power.

Wu Xuan, struck by two consecutive swords, was sent hurtling downwards rapidly. The massive impact forced the river below to part, actually revealing the riverbed.

Thus, the situation at the river’s bottom was also revealed to everyone. They could clearly see large buildings constructed there with metallic cannon barrels mounted on them, the dark muzzles pointing directly up at them.

Thud!

Wu Xuan, blasted downwards, struggled to adjust his body’s orientation and landed on his feet, emitting a dull sound, while the terrifying vibrational forces swept outwards, causing the riverbed to collapse in a ring shape.

Immediately, dust rose everywhere. The fragmented opening at the collapsing river bottom extended continuously towards the distance, entering the displaced riverwater.

However, much to everyone’s surprise, although the buildings at the river bottom were askew, they remained undamaged. Even the soil beneath these gun emplacements was extremely firm, unbroken.

Above these structures, clearly visible were Array glimmers circulating. Many used their Soul Consciousness to attempt investigation, only to find they couldn’t infiltrate it; they then realized where those terrifying large-scale attacks had been emerging from.

When they had investigated the river bottom previously, they had felt nothing, certainly because the Array above those heavy cannons had blocked the probing of their Soul Consciousness, leaving them unable to ascertain the specifics beneath the riverbed.

Because of the battle between Lin Qian and Wu Xuan, they came to know the situation beneath the river bottom; otherwise, it would have remained a mystery to them.

After Wu Xuan landed, his legs plunged into the river bottom, sinking past the knees up to his thighs before stopping.

At this moment, the protective Soul Power covering his body was already riddled with cracks, his energy roiling unstoppably. This chaotic state was forcefully suppressed by him as he regulated his breath.

Simultaneously, the earth-colored protective Soul Power on him gradually began to heal, as if it would soon return to its former state.

Just then, Lin Qian also descended from the sky, holding the black Thunder Night Sword in both hands. The Red Gold Thunder and Bright Yellow Flame on the blade both retracted into the sword.

The dark blade emitted a faint glow of gold patterns, seemingly covered only with a light elegant gold radiance, displaying no manifest Soul Power.

However, no one dared underestimate this strike; while the blade indeed showed no visible Soul Power, the contained power made everyone’s breath hitch, watching with bated breath what was unraveling before them.

Lin Qian’s eyes glinted golden as he brought the Thunder Night Sword down heavily on Wu Xuan.
