Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 566 - 565: The World Trembles in Fear! (3rd Update!)

The Family Head of the Du Clan! A Martial Dao master at the Semi-Saint level!! In the face of death, could he really be so servile? He actually knelt directly on the ground! Begging for mercy on his knees!? Inconceivable! Truly inconceivable!!

The remaining Semi-Saints of Yu State, and those Innate Grandmasters who were half-dead from the previous battle's aftershocks, were all shocked!! The Family Head of the Du Clan of Runan City, who used to be so high and mighty! Is this his true nature??

Du Zhong, however, ignored the gazes around him and knelt on the ground, desperately kowtowing to Qin Heng in the sky!!

THUD! THUD! THUD!!

The ground trembled. The power of a Semi-Saint kowtowing caused the ground to collapse, creating fissures!!

Du Zhong had completely discarded his dignity! At the same time, he cried out at the top of his lungs, "Mr. Xuantian, spare my life! Spare me! All of this was because I was misled by my two sons! I am a victim too! Please spare my life, and I will definitely return to grind those two little bastards into mincemeat! Please spare me!!"

In order to stay alive, he promptly sold out his own sons! After all, Semi-Saints have long lifespans, living well over seven hundred years, so he had plenty of time to have other sons. The most important thing was to save his own life!!

Upon hearing these words, the expressions on the other Semi-Saints' faces changed. Their gazes scanned the twenty coffins in front, eyes filled with intense fear, and all of them gritted their teeth—

THUMP!

THUMP!!

All of them knelt down. The remaining dozen or so Semi-Saints of Yu State had all knelt down before Qin Heng!!

At this moment, those who had traveled from outside Yu State to watch the battle were also completely stunned, staring in disbelief at these dozen or so Semi-Saints, utterly astounded.

Semi-Saints! These were Semi-Saints! In this era, they were powerful enough to dominate a region! When Saints did not appear, Semi-Saints were invincible among mortals! Now, these dozen or so Semi-Saints were actually all kneeling before Qin Xuantian!

So strong! Truly formidable! Qin Xuantian's strength has reached a level that is beyond our comprehension!

How could he only be at the peak of Innate! How could he only be at the peak of Innate! Such strength is no less than reaching the pinnacle. Who exactly is he!?

The crowd gasped in admiration. They were not from Yu State and therefore were not in danger for their lives. However, they promptly put distance between themselves and the Yu State Semi-Saints—the further the better. Before, they had been desperate to ingratiate themselves with these Semi-Saints. Now they shunned them like snakes and scorpions!

All of this, simply because of a single sentence from Qin Heng!!

Powerful! Too powerful! What defines a strong person? This is what it means to be a strong person!!

"You, you want me to spare your lives?" Qin Heng turned around in the air, hands clasped behind his back, looking down at everyone with a slight smile. "If begging for mercy were useful, then what would be the point of practicing Martial Dao!"

With that!

He raised his hand, and a golden flame coalesced in his palm, looking like a miniature sun. With a casual wave, he scattered the golden flames downward!

WHOOSH!

The flames soared with the wind and, in an instant, became a sea of fire. Du Zhong and the other Yu State Semi-Saints didn't even have a chance to flee. They were directly engulfed by the golden flames!

In an instant, they turned to ashes!! Gone without a trace!!

The twenty Semi-Saints of Yu State, hereby utterly annihilated!!

Those who remained were all shrouded in silence. The foot of Qingtong Mountain was deadly quiet, as everyone looked at Qin Heng with eyes filled with reverence.

So powerful! Truly too powerful!! A full twenty Semi-Saints, plus a Semi-Saint from the Heavenly Ranking, as well as an incarnation of a Great Saint! Wiped out just like that! It was an extreme display of might!!

Qin Xuantian! This name, it was feared, would once again shock the world!!

On October 1st, National Day!

At the base of Qingtong Mountain outside Runan City in Yu State, Qin Xuantian struck down twenty Semi-Saints of Yu State and annihilated Zi Can, the Shang Princeling, ninth on the Heavenly Ranking!!

The news spread!

The world trembled in fear!!

...

...

「Youzhou, the Su family.」

Thanks to Qin Heng, Su Mingli had become the de facto Family Head of the Su family. Su Yiyi had risen to the management ranks of this Martial Dao clan. The siblings' power was immense, and they belonged to the upper echelon throughout Youzhou. Su Beihe had already been retrieved from Tianhai by the two siblings.

In Youzhou during October, the weather had grown cold, and occasionally, some snowflakes would drift down. Su Mingli stood in front of the main hall of the Su family's residence, watching the bright and warm sunshine above, feeling somewhat emotional.

Su Yiyi walked over to him. Seeing his expression seemed somewhat complex, she smiled and said, "Brother, what are you thinking about here?"

"Thinking about some things," Su Mingli sighed, saying, "If it weren't for Mr. Xuantian, we probably wouldn't even have the right to stand here, let alone take the position of Family Head."

Su Yiyi mentioned Qin Heng, her pretty face slightly blushing, a trace of loss flickering in her eyes. I wonder how he is doing now. She said, "I heard he went to Yu State, intending to exterminate the families there. There are more than twenty Semi-Saints there; could it be dangerous?"

More than twenty Semi-Saints... Su Mingli fell silent for a moment, then said, "Although I also hope Mr. Xuantian can win, it seems unlikely. Even a true Saint, when faced with more than twenty Semi-Saints, would probably not come out on top. Powerful as Mr. Xuantian is, he is still only at the peak of the Innate realm."

"But he did slay Zeng Tusheng with only a palm strike, thoroughly overpowering him!" Su Yiyi shook her head, saying, "I believe he will definitely come out unscathed!"

Even Su Yiyi, who believed Qin Heng's strength was incredible, didn't dare to imagine Qin Heng truly defeating over twenty Semi-Saints, because that would be too preposterous! Preposterous to the point of being completely unreasonable!! The gap between the Innate and Semi-Saint realms is as vast as heaven and earth. Usually, more than a dozen cultivators at the peak of the Innate realm might not be a match for a single Semi-Saint. No matter how strong Qin Heng is, it's unlikely he could defeat over twenty Semi-Saints at the same time.

Let's hope Mr. Xuantian comes back unharmed, Su Mingli clenched his teeth and said in a deep voice, "If anything happens to Mr. Xuantian, I will train even harder and avenge him!!"

"Brother! What are you saying! Nothing will happen to Qin Heng!" Su Yiyi was unhappy with his words, saying, "He is strong! Extremely strong! There won't be any accidents!"

But as she spoke, she felt a lack of confidence herself… More than twenty Semi-Saints, a force that could sweep across the world!!

"Yiyi, have you forgotten?" Su Mingli turned and looked seriously at Su Yiyi, saying, "Yu State is an ancient place of the Central Plains, inheriting one of the most ancient families among mankind! The descendants of the Yin Shang, the Shang family of Mei City! Their Family Head, Zi Can, is a true Semi-Saint who has been in the world for six hundred years. His strength is fear-inspiring, ranked ninth on the Heavenly Ranking, and he is capable of suppressing thirty Semi-Saints with a single finger!!"

"..." Su Yiyi was momentarily stunned, then her eyes reddened, her anxiety mounting. "What do we do!? What do we do! Qin Heng is in danger! A Heavenly Ranking Semi-Saint, a Heavenly Ranking Semi-Saint! He's only at the peak of Innate, how could he possibly be a match for a Heavenly Ranking Semi-Saint!? Brother! Why didn't you say it earlier, why didn't you?! I'm going to Yu State; I have to find him. I can't just let him be in such a perilous situation; that's a Heavenly Ranking Semi-Saint!"

She was utterly panicked. A Semi-Saint from the Heavenly Ranking was indeed too powerful. Even the tenth-ranked would be vastly stronger than Zeng Tusheng, who had only gained a dubious victory over a greatly weakened Saint. And now, Qin Heng was facing Zi Can, the Shang Princeling, ninth on the Heavenly Ranking—an unparalleled powerhouse!!

"You can't go!" said Su Mingli with a stern voice. "Your going would only distract Mr. Xuantian and not help at all! Rest assured, perhaps Mr. Xuantian has heaven's favor and should be able to return safely."

"But that's a Heavenly Ranking Semi-Saint..." Su Yiyi still wanted to struggle.

"Stop arguing!"

Just then, Su Beihe came over, holding a cell phone, saying, "The Martial Dao forum has released the results of the great battle in Yu State; take a look for yourself."
