Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 555 - 554: I’ll Give You a Chance! (3rd Update)

As his words fell, they resounded in everyone's ears.

"A mere trifle!?"

This was the Huangs' Saint-level divine bow, its power magnified by the formation and fired by Huang Song, a peak Semi-Saint. The force of the light arrow was earth-shattering; even a celestial Semi-Saint would have to retreat from it!

And Qin Xuantian actually called it a mere trifle!? How presumptuous! How arrogant! He's seeking death! This is definitely seeking death!

Everyone thought this as they saw Qin Heng remain seated high in the clouds. He showed no intention of dodging, not even a hint of a defensive posture! To think he could survive this devastating arrow with such complacency? Dream on! This is absolutely impossible! Qin Xuantian is doomed!

"Die! Hahaha!" Huang Song laughed heartily, feeling a rush of pleasure almost overflowing from his heart. So what if he's 'invincible under heaven'? So what if he's Qin Xuantian? He'll still die under the might of my divine bow's light arrow!

CRACK!

However, at that very moment, a sound as if the void itself was being torn apart rang out, shaking all directions. Then, a terrifying pressure swept forth, almost bringing silence to the entire world! The golden flame light arrow was just about to strike Qin Heng. But then, faint purple light began to spread from Qin Heng's eyes. It was noble and splendid, like the most brilliant starlight in the night sky, and it instantly coalesced into three concentric rings of light!

CLANG!

A sound like metal clashing echoed as the golden flame light arrow struck the pale purple light rings. In an instant, the intensely brilliant golden flame light arrow began to disintegrate and fade! As it passed through the first ring of light, the golden flames on the arrow were stripped away, transforming into mere specks of firelight before vanishing, leaving only a pure golden shaft of light to continue forward. Upon passing through the second ring, the golden light arrow, which was over ten meters long, began to disintegrate from its tip. By the time it neared the third ring, the entire arrow had completely dissolved into a cloud of luminous dust, scattering and disappearing! In the end, the light arrow failed to even get within three meters of Qin Heng. It was completely disintegrated by his mere gaze, vanishing without a trace!

Dead silence. Utter silence!!

The twenty Semi-Saints integrated into the formation, as well as the many Innate experts and Transcendence Realm cultivators watching from below, were all utterly stunned. Their teeth chattered, and they were shocked to their very core!

"My God! My God! What did I just see!? Qin Xuantian merely glanced, and that earth-shattering golden flame light arrow disintegrated! How is that possible!?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!! I must be hallucinating! That was a Saint-level divine bow, and Qin Xuantian is only at the peak of the Innate realm! How could he... how could he possibly do that!? It's impossible!!"

"A miracle! This is a miracle! A peak Innate expert shattered a light arrow fired from a Saint-level divine bow with a single glance! Heavens! This is unprecedented in all of history! Inconceivable! Utterly inconceivable!!"

Some marveled, while others were filled with disbelief. Qin Heng's single glance had astounded the heavens and the earth. To everyone present, it seemed utterly impossible, yet it had truly happened! It was so astonishing it was hard to believe, yet the reality before their eyes was so palpable they had no choice but to accept it!

"No! How is this possible!?" Huang Song, clutching the enormous divine bow, stared at Qin Heng. Qin Heng was completely unharmed and hadn't even budged. Huang Song's shock reached an extreme, as if he were seeing a ghost!

Du Zhong, Pang Wei, and the other Semi-Saints were plunged into a long silence, their gazes fixed on Qin Heng with bewildered uncertainty. The scene they had just witnessed was simply too startling, too terrifying!

If Qin Heng had struggled and barely managed to block that arrow, they would have certainly acknowledged his strength, yet they would have remained confident in their ability to kill him. But now? He had disintegrated the golden flame light arrow with a mere glance! What level of power was this!?

Among the twenty Semi-Saints present, not one could explain it. Not a single one could comprehend it. Such a level of power had far surpassed their imagination! Too strong! Too terrifying!!

Ye Feng was also somewhat shocked, his gaze toward Qin Heng shifting slightly. His expression flickered uncertainly for a moment before he regained his composure. He touched the back of his right hand, a cold smile playing on his lips. So what if he's strong? With these three secret curses, I am invincible beneath the Saint Realm! Qin Xuantian, you'll just have to obediently become my research material!

Lu Jianjia and Qu Linglong were also dumbfounded, their faces etched with disbelief as they stared at Qin Heng. A moment ago, they had been utterly despondent, believing that they and Qin Heng were doomed with no hope of survival. But the current situation… it left them reeling, unable to process it. Such a powerful attack! And yet, it was neutralized by a mere glance from Qin Heng. Just how strong is he!? It's too astonishing!

"Qin Heng, you… what level of strength do you actually possess!?" Lu Jianjia and Qu Linglong couldn't help but ask. The shock Qin Heng had delivered was simply too immense!

"In the mortal realm, I am invincible," Qin Heng stated calmly. He then slowly rose from his seat above the clouds, his gaze sweeping over the Semi-Saints positioned on various mountaintops. "Do any of you have any last words?"

"Impudent whelp, you've gone too far!" the Yuan family's Semi-Saint roared furiously. His True Qi surged, propelling him skyward as his entire being merged with the phantom of a Saint's might, transforming into a colossal golden sword over a thousand meters long. It descended from the sky, slashing towards Qin Heng! "Die!" His roar shook the heavens like thunder. The sword light was terrifying, possessing a might that seemed capable of sundering mountains and rivers!

Unfortunately for his attacker, to Qin Heng, such an attack was utterly insignificant. Like an ant, Qin Heng didn't even bat an eyelid. He casually extended a palm and struck out through the air!

HUM!

The great sword seemed to keen mournfully. The momentum of the thousand-meter-long golden blade ceased abruptly, and it hung suspended in mid-air as if seized by an invisible colossal hand, utterly immobilized!

Then— CRACK! Followed by: CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!!!!

Accompanied by this barrage of shattering and explosive sounds, the thousand-meter golden sword, the manifestation of the Yuan family Semi-Saint's full-power attack, instantly broke into countless fragments. Then, with a final BOOM, the Yuan family's Semi-Saint himself exploded in mid-air! The brilliant golden light of his being was blasted into fine powder, and a dense rain of blood showered down. Not even a trace of his bones remained! Annihilated, body and soul!

Witnessing this, all the other Semi-Saints and the Innate experts felt as if they had been plunged into an icy abyss, their limbs turning cold as stone!

A mighty Semi-Saint! An exalted figure, revered and aloof! A Martial Dao powerhouse with one foot already in the Saint Realm! Yet, before Qin Xuantian, he was as weak as an ant! No, weaker than an ant! A casual slap, delivered from afar, and he had exploded in mid-air, his blood painting the sky, his body obliterated, his very soul extinguished! Heavens!

At this moment, Du Zhong, Huang Song, Pang Wei, and all the other surviving Semi-Saints finally understood. They understood why Qin Xuantian had dared to make the audacious claim that he alone could annihilate all the martial families of Yu State! It was because he truly possessed such power! Too terrifying! How could this merely be someone at the peak of the Innate realm!? He was a monster! A veritable monster!

"Invincible… Qin Xuantian, Invincible in the Mortal Realm…" Du Zhong stood atop his mountain peak, murmuring these words as if all strength had been drained from him. He slowly sank to his knees.

The other Semi-Saints were in a similar state of shock and despair. They stared at Qin Heng, their faces ashen, and unconsciously began to murmur the same words. This gradually spread to the many Innate and Transcendence Realm cultivators spectating the battle.

"Invincible! Qin Xuantian, Invincible in the Mortal Realm!"

"Invincible! Qin Xuantian, Invincible in the Mortal Realm!"

…

The chant was unceasing, spreading across the mountains and ravines, echoing through the valleys, seemingly reaching up to the very heavens. It was as if only one voice remained in the entire world:

Invincible!

Qin Xuantian, Invincible in the Mortal Realm!

HAH.

But at that very moment, Ye Feng let out a soft chuckle, laced with sarcasm. The sound, as if imbued with a strange power, was incredibly piercing, drilling directly into everyone's ears and drawing all their attention to him.

"Who dares claim invincibility? Who dares speak of being undefeated?" Ye Feng chuckled again, one hand clasped behind his back, the other lightly waving a jade-boned folding fan. His chin was tilted slightly upward, his expression one of utter arrogance. He looked at Qin Heng and said coolly, "Qin Xuantian, was that you claiming to be invincible? This Young Master will now give you a chance. Come here, kneel, and become my servant. Or… die!"
