Chapter 198: Crushed.
Edited by: Mochiusagi
Within the Imperial Palace.
Li Wan was still in shock. She looked at the barrier that had protected her from the sudden attack, and quickly found the source of this barrier was the piece of wood with a sword mark!
At this moment, the piece of wood was exuding misty rays of light, it was like a candle light shining amidst the darkness.
“Third Uncle?”
Li Wan blinked her jewel-like eyes.
This piece of wood was given to her by Su Qin, and the sword mark carved on it was also left by Su Qin.
At this time, the rough man standing in the sky, slightly frowned: “This barrier…”
However, the rough man was forced to cut off his train of thought and instead looked towards another place. He seemed to have noticed something.
The rough man then saw a Sword Light that was pitch-black, like ink. The black Sword Light was like a gap in the space, if not, it was a gap in the space! The moment the rough man saw this, the Sword Light was already close to his body with only a few meters separating them.
“No!!”
The rough man was worthy of being a disciple of a Major Sect from overseas. At this critical moment, he urged a Forbidden Secret Technique, and his stature suddenly increased. He turned into a giant that was more than five meters high. The aura he was exuding like that of a tall mountain.
The Major Sect where the rough man was from, was known for their Body Techniques. It was even said that their strength can break the law of nature with sheer brute force! At this moment, the rough man used a Forbidden Secret Technique as a guide to burn his own blood essence and forcefully elevate his body’s strength to the extreme.
The next moment, even before the rough guy had the chance to react, the narrow black Sword Light had already arrived in front of him.
[Crack~]
This black Sword Light glow easily broke through the enhanced blood of the rough man and sliced through his bones, like a hot knife through butter. The body that the rough man was so proud of, was as frail as paper against the mighty Sword Light that it was like a pair of scissors.
[Tear~]!
The body of the rough man was immediately split into two pieces that then fell from the sky, one after another. The blood of the rough man, a Legend’s blood, accompanied it like rain drizzling down the earth.
At the same time, as soon as the rough man’s Divine Sense wanted to escape, he felt an aura that seemed to come from the abyss spread towards him. In an instant, his Divine Sense was completely crushed, he was destroyed both in body and soul.
“This is?!”
{T/L Note: Changed Goddess to Saintess}
Not far away from where the rough man was, the other Major Sect disciples’ eyes shrank, including the Saintess Bing Ling from the Snow God Palace. Her expression was frozen.
As Legends, their Divine Sense can cover the surrounding ten meters away. However, no matter how they sensed and searched, one had noticed why the rough man was suddenly sliced into two pieces.
“What happened?”
The azure robed swordsman, who was carrying a long sword on his back, was horrified. He immediately retreated several hundred meters away, and vigilantly began looking around the surroundings.
The death of the rough guy was indeed shocking to them. However, the unfathomable mystery of how the rough guy died in such a brutal way, without even a hint of struggle, was even more frightening compared to the former!
“Someone has taken action!”
The Snow God Palace Saintess Bing Ling’s expression was grave.
When the other disciples heard this, they couldn’t help but roll their eyes. Yeah, no sh_t! That rough guy died without a whole corpse. Of course, they knew someone had taken action.
But the question now was… who did it?
Contrary to the confusion and vigilance of the Major Sect disciples, Emperor Li Sheng and the others were ecstatic.
“Third Brother, Third Brother took action!” Emperor Li Sheng exclaimed happily.
Although he didn’t see Su Qin appear during the whole process, he was certain that it was Su Qin who killed the rough man.
“Master?”
Ruan Qing stood up, his face was pale.
He fought against the Taoist priest just now. Although he was always at a disadvantage and he was shot flying with a palm strike from the opponent, he was still able to barely stand up because the other party showed mercy and did not hit hard.
At this moment, a slender and tall figure suddenly arrived at the scene.
This figure was carrying a strange long sword that was shaped like a sickle and curved like a crescent moon in his right hand. The tip of the sword was pointing down to the ground as the figure calmly walked in, neither fast nor slow.
“He is?”
Upon discovering the sudden appearance of this figure, the Snow God Palace Saintess immediately focused her attention on him.
The same was true for the other Major Sect disciples. They all wore the same expression, as if they were facing an enemy. The rough guy’s death was too weird. Although these Major Sect disciples were shabby, they were not stupid!
“It’s Third Brother.”
Emperor Li Sheng felt that a boulder was lifted from his chest.
It was only at this moment that Emperor Li Sheng was completely relieved.
“Your Excellency must be the Legend that is guarding Chang’an City, right?” The cold man, wearing a black robe, squeezed out a smile. He moved towards Su Qin and reached out with his hands.
His current attitude was extremely humble, without the arrogance of being a Major Sect disciple.
In fact, when Su Qin killed the rough man silently just now, he already knew that Su Qin’s strength surpassed them. His guess was that Su Qin’s strength should be more or less comparable to a First-Class Powerhouse in a Major Sect.
“Since Your Excellency is here, we’ll take our leave and won’t bother you anymore.” The cold man in the black robe said.
In his opinion, he and the others should just retreat. If Su Qin wasn’t narrow-minded, he would definitely not pursue them.
‘Humph~’
‘When I return to the Sect, I will definitely ask Master to take action and slaughter all of the life in this city!’ The man in the black robe insidiously thought in his heart. However, his expression on the outside still remained humble.
The Sect he belonged to, was not in the Righteous Path. It was normal for them to slaughter living beings.
The Snow God Palace Saintess, Bing Ling, and the others’ expressions became solemn as they looked at Su Qin. They were waiting to see his reaction.
“Third Brother…” Emperor Li Sheng looked at Su Qin worriedly.
Under everyone’s gaze, Su Qin finally spoke.
“You want to leave?”
Su Qin’s face showed a hint of sarcasm: “You came here and want to leave alive?”
Su Qin’s voice barely sounded when the Demon God’s Blade in his right hand gently waved towards the man in the black robe.
“You?!”
The man in the black robe was shocked by Su Qin’s ruthlessness. He immediately felt an unprecedented crisis that concerned his life and death.
The aura of danger that man in the black robe felt from Su Qin right now, was even greater than that of the man he saw overseas. That man was like an ancient beast that had survived from the Ancient Era, seeming to have the ability to see through the Heavens and Earth.
The next moment, the man in the black robe saw a Sword Light, that was pitch-black like ink, coming towards him.
“Get me away from here!”
The man in the black robe had no time to think about why Su Qin suddenly made such a decisive move. At this moment, he only had a single line of thought in his heart.
Stay alive.
Must survive!
The man in the black robe’s figure suddenly turned into darkness. He seemingly transformed from real to illusory.
“[Illusory Devil Body]?”
The Snow God Palace Saintess, Bing Ling’s complexion changed.
The [Illusory Devil Body] was the Major Cultivation Technique of the man in the black robe. Once it was Cultivated to a certain level, it can make people change arbitrarily between reality and illusion, thereby achieving the effect of ignoring any physical attack.
[Tear~]
At this time, Su Qin’s black Sword Light had cut across the darkness that the man in the black robe had turned into.
At the moment of contact, the originally empty darkness was cut into two. Soon after, the man in the black robe’s body reappeared and fell down to the ground.
“Dead?”
The Snow God Palace Saintess Bing Ling’s face changed in color.
“Run!”
The Patriarch of the Blood Kill Gate next to her was terrified. Without the slightest hesitation, he turned into a bloody mist that crossed several distances and fled.
Su Qin’s expression was indifferent, neither no joy nor sorrow could be seen. He held the Demon God’s Blade and slashed it towards the fleeing Patriarch of the Blood Kill Gate.
[Tear~]
Another black Sword Light appeared and it flashed across the sky.
The Patriarch of the Blood Kill Gate was soon divided into two without much suspense. He had followed the footsteps of the rough man and the man in the black robe.
“And you.”
Su Qin turned his gaze and looked at the azure robed swordsman.
“Die.”
Su Qin swung the Demon God’s Blade again.
“Ahhhh~!”
“[Myriad Sword Returning to Origin]!!!”
The azure robed swordsman suddenly went crazy. When he saw the consecutive deaths of the three Legends, he knew that it was his turn next.
The long sword that was being carried by the azure robed swordsman, suddenly burst into a brilliant Sword Light that split from one to two, two to four, then four to eight.
In almost an instant, countless Sword Lights manifested in front of him.
“Good Sword Dao, but unfortunately, it’s not enough.” Su Qin shook his head slightly.
[Tear~]
The black Sword Light instantly shattered the Sword Lights that the swordsman manifested and broke his long sword into two pieces. Finally, it slashed its way through the swordsman’s body.
Another Legend dead!
Thick astonishment surfaced on everyone’s faces.
They didn’t even dream that there would be a day where they would see the omnipotent Legends being slaughtered like chickens by Su Qin, one sword swing at a time!
“Third Brother, Third Brother is too strong…” Emperor Li Sheng was also dumbfounded.
If the rough man, who died at the beginning, was just because of Su Qin’s sneak attack, then how would you explain the following three Legends that Su Qin directly sliced in half?
In contrast to everyone’s shock, Su Qin’s face remained unchanged. He turned his indifferent gaze towards the Snow God Palace Saintess, Bing Ling.
“Hmm? You still have the courage to stand here?” Su Qin looked at Bing Ling with interest.
At this moment, although Saintess Bing Ling was equally frightened, she did not run away like the Patriarch of the Blood Kill Gate.
“Your power is terrifying, even if I escape, I wouldn’t be able to.”
Saintess Bing Ling took a deep breath and said in a flat tone.
“Let me guess. The reason why you didn’t run away is not because you are not afraid of death, but because you have a card up your sleeve that your Master gave you, right?”
Su Qin naturally didn’t believe in the bullsh_t, ‘Even if I escape, I wouldn’t be able to.’
Ants were greedy, even more so were these Heaven’s Chosen Child from these Major Sects.
“How do you know?”
Saintess Bing Ling’s expression had changed drastically.
She indeed had a life-saving measure that was given to her by an ancestor of the Snow God Palace.
It’s just that the cost of using it was too high. Saintess Bing Ling needed to abandon her body and use her Divine Sense to quickly escape thousands of li away.
At that time, the ancestor of Snow God Palace warned Saintess Bing Ling that she must not use this trump card before the critical moment, because the loss of a body will have an unprecedented impact on any Martial Artist.
Even if she possesses a new body, due to compatibility problems, her future achievements will be limited. In severe cases, her strength will plummet by several levels.
The good thing was that, according to the Ancestor, as long as she used this trump card, no one would be able to stop her.
This was where her confidence lies and why she dared to stay.
She was not like other people. She had other options. She would use that trump card to save her life at the last moment.
Losing her body was better than dying.
“Your Excellency’s strength is unfathomable. This Bing Ling will leave first. I hope that in the future, there will be a chance to meet Your Excellency again.”
Since Su Qin already saw through her, without the slightest hesitation, she immediately used her trump card.
Suddenly, Saintess Bing Ling felt that her consciousness was elevated. Her Divine Sense left her body and began moving overseas. She was escaping at an extremely terrifying speed!
“It’s indeed really fast.”
Su Qin slightly nodded and even commented.
Even he, in terms of sheer speed, couldn’t match the speed of this abandoning-the-body technique.
“However…”
“Inside my Domain, where can you run?”
Su Qin has a smile on his face. His thoughts moved and an invisible force began spreading.
“Ancestor said that a 7th or even an 8th Heavenly Layer wouldn’t be able to catch up with me.”
Saintess Bing Ling’s thought, she felt that she was now safe.
“When I return to the Snow God Palace, I must report the situation to my Ancestor and have them avenge me…”
However, Saintess Bing Ling was suddenly cut off from her thoughts.
That was because despite escaping for so long, she still stayed in the Imperial Palace.
“This is?!”
Saintess Bing Ling faintly felt an invisible force enveloping her. Under this force, the space around her was stretched to infinity.
“Dom…”
Saintess Bing Ling suddenly remembered a record from the Snow God Palace, a storm was immediately set off in her heart.
However, before Saintess Bing Ling could finish her words, she suddenly saw darkness before her eyes and her thoughts fell into the endless void.
