Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 554 - 553: Qin Xuantian! Turn to Ashes!

Qu Linglong and Lu Jianjia looked up at the grand formation in the sky, their expressions filled with horror, their faces deathly pale, utterly desperate.

In their eyes, the entire Qingtong Mountain was now covered by the Pangs' grand formation. Dozens of kilometers were shrouded by the formation's power, and terrifying prohibitions were everywhere. Any slight movement might lead them into an inescapable death trap! Twenty Semi-Saints! This was a grand formation set up by no less than twenty Semi-Saints collaborating! Moreover, on a distant peak, Huang Song held a bow flickering with golden flames. He drew an invisible string, condensing a gigantic golden light arrow over ten meters long, aimed at Qin Heng! Dangers lurked on every side, offering almost no chance of survival. This was a deathtrap!

What do we do? What should we do now? Qu Linglong was completely panicked, drenched in cold sweat. She looked at Lu Jianjia, saying, "Jianjia, what should we do?"

"What else can we do?" Lu Jianjia also smiled bitterly, shook her head, and looked up at the grand formation in the sky. She glanced at Huang Song from the corner of her eye and sighed, "With our power, what can we do?"

She and Qu Linglong were merely at the Transcendence Realm and Half-Step Transcendence. In such a battle, they couldn't even qualify as cannon fodder; the slightest shockwave could pulverize them, making them as insignificant as ants!

Wanting to change the current situation? It's basically impossible! Even invoking the Myth Organization would likely be useless. Though the Myth Organization is strong, in the eyes of these Semi-Saints from the noble families of Yu State, it probably isn't enough to make them change their minds. At most, they could save her and Qu Linglong's lives, but Qin Heng is still doomed! After all, Martial Dao noble families have, since ancient times, cared little for officialdom, much less any sense of national righteousness. Their only concern is the rise and fall of their own clans! While Martial Dao noble families wouldn't go out of their way to offend the Myth Organization, given its government affiliation, they generally couldn't be bothered with it. Qin Heng had proclaimed he would annihilate the Martial Dao noble families of Yu State and had even prepared twenty coffins for their Semi-Saints to come and claim their deaths. In the eyes of the Yu State families, this was an outrageous humiliation! They have to kill him to wash away the disgrace!

"Qin Heng, how can you still remain so calm at a time like this?" Lu Jianjia looked at Qin Heng. His expression was unnervingly calm, as if he wasn't the one facing this terrifying formation.

This puzzled Lu Jianjia immensely. Qin Heng's behavior seems too abnormal, doesn't it? Even the most composed person would show some emotion when faced with certain death. Do you have a way to escape?

Lu Jianjia's mind raced, and she whispered to Qin Heng, "If you do, then hurry up and use it! Don't hesitate anymore! Right now, they've only just formed the array and are probably still preparing. Once they really start attacking, it'll be all over!"

"Yes, exactly!" Qu Linglong nodded repeatedly, saying, "Qin Heng, there's no time to lose. You must flee now! We are from the Myth Organization; we have no grudges against them. We should be fine."

"Flee! HAHAHA! You're thinking too much!" Du Zhong's laughter suddenly echoed. He stood atop a mountain peak, his voice booming like thunder. "Under Brother Pang's grand formation, no one can escape unless they're a Saint!"

BOOM!

The void exploded with a loud bang. Then, behind Du Zhong, dazzling golden lights appeared, as if a golden sun was slowly rising, with phenomena filling the sky, yet somewhat unreal, as if illusory! Phantoms of Saintly Manifestations—the hallmark of a Semi-Saint!

At the same time, the heavens and the earth shook, and roars continued! The other dozen or so Semi-Saints also manifested their own Saint Phantoms: stars streaked across the sky, sword lights crisscrossed, armies marched, mystical birds cried out, and even phantoms of ancient mighty ones slew gods with their swords! All kinds of powerful and mystical visions, overwhelming in succession, filled the heavens and earth. The sea of Heavenly Essence churned, and the Yuan Qi within a radius of over thirty kilometers boiled violently, like water brought to a rolling boil!

"My god! What am I seeing? So many Saint Phantoms! So many!"

"Worth it! Absolutely worth it! Twenty Saint Phantoms sweeping across the sky—such a rare sight in one's life! What virtues or abilities does Qin Xuantian possess to warrant such a display?!"

"Even if this Qin Xuantian is the expert who killed Zeng Tusheng with a single palm strike, and the Semi-Saints are being cautious, this is too exaggerated. Even if Qin Xuantian were beaten to a pulp, witnessing this would be worth it!"

Many people gasped in amazement, their eyes wide and mouths agape as they stared at the sky, shocked to their very core.

"To think that there are martial arts on par with peerless Divine Skills!" Ye Feng's eyes gleamed brightly as he looked up at the phenomena in the sky and burst out laughing, "HAHAHA! How utterly marvelous!

This time, the gains are immense! As long as I assimilate these Cultivation Techniques and thoroughly research Qin Xuantian's constitution, turning it to my own use, my Dao can achieve great completion, and becoming a Saint will be within reach! HAHAHA! However, Qin Xuantian, you had better not die just like that. Do not let down my expectations for you, the research material I, Ye Feng, have chosen!"

Lu Jianjia and Qu Linglong stared dumbfounded at the dazzling array of phenomena in the sky and collapsed to the ground, utterly hopeless.

"It's over! Completely over!" Lu Jianjia shook her head and said. It's too late, everything is too late! There's no escape now, with the grand formation plus twenty Saint Phantoms! Who could possibly get away?!

"Unless it's a Semi-Saint from the Heavenly Ranking, no one can escape!" Qu Linglong, too, had a pale face, her eyes filled with despair as she smiled bitterly. "Qin Heng, it seems the coffins you prepared are for us to use after all."

In their eyes, no matter how powerful Qin Heng was, it was impossible for him to survive such an encirclement. He was bound to die without a glimmer of hope! Because the opponent was simply too strong, just too strong!

"They're but a bunch of ants." Qin Heng suddenly spoke, still with an air of calm, and said indifferently, "I was actually curious to see to what extent they could unleash the power of this formation…"

As he spoke, he paused, his eyes filled with intense disappointment, and he shook his head with a sigh. "What a pity for this formation. A decent grand formation, yet only one percent of its power has been unleashed. Heh, Pang Juan would be turning in his grave! Weak, far too weak!"

Lu Jianjia and Qu Linglong were stunned upon hearing these words, their minds a little dazed. They looked at Qin Heng in disbelief. Even at a time like this, he's still talking big?

"You dare to insult my ancestor!?" Pang Wei also heard Qin Heng's words and instantly became furious, shouting loudly, "Brother Huang, make your move! Let me witness the might of your Huang family's Divine Skill!"

"Alright!" Huang Song sneered coldly, murderous intent surging in his eyes, and released the invisible string in his hand!

BOOM!!

As if the void was being pierced, the more than ten-meter-long golden flame arrow, like a comet tearing through the atmosphere, fell from the sky, ripping a fiery trail hundreds of meters long!

In an instant!

Fierce winds ravaged, mountains shook, and the ground cracked under the terrifying pressure. Countless fissures spiderwebbed across the land! It was as though the apocalypse had arrived!

Terrifying! Too terrifying! Everyone on the ground was trembling; even peak Innate Great Grandmasters struggled to stand firm. They could only maintain their balance by desperately circulating their True Qi to avoid collapsing!

Too strong! What kind of arrow was this! What kind of divine bow was this! Incredibly powerful, beyond imagination!

At this moment!

Everyone watched the sky, eyes wide with terror, not daring to blink! Their eyes were fixed on that single streak of golden flame tearing through the sky—a light of utmost brilliance, an arrow of unparalleled might, as if possessing the world-destroying power of a peerless artifact!

"HAHAHAHA!!" Huang Song laughed uproariously, his voice filled with unrestrained glee. "Qin Xuantian! Turn to ashes!!"

"Heh!" Qin Heng let out a light chuckle.

The sound was not loud, but in a split second, it overpowered all other noises between heaven and earth, making everything else pale in comparison!

At the same time, a faint purple light flickered in his eyes as he watched the golden flame arrow speeding towards him. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he hummed softly,

"A mere grain of rice, daring to shine?"
