Chapter 589 - 588: Ancient Demonic Weapon! (8th Update)
"Qin Heng!!"
The moment Qin Heng appeared, Xia Shuang sobered up. Before she could fully understand the situation, she discovered she was actually holding a dagger. Her grip loosened immediately, and she dropped it to the ground.
CLANG!
The sound of metal clashing seemed imbued with a strange power. Both Wang Lingguan and He Xiangu felt the pressure on them ease, then dissolve, vanishing completely!
Gao Wen's terrifying aura was suppressed?!
No!
To be more accurate, it was shattered!!
How is that possible?!
He was a fighter comparable to a Semi-Saint on the Heaven List! Even a Saint might not be able to shatter his aura so easily!!
This is truly astonishing!!
Though still in the Semi-Saint Realm, a Semi-Saint on the Heaven List has completely surpassed ordinary Semi-Saints in power. Even a typical Saint might not be a match for a Semi-Saint on the Heaven List!!
And now, this young man who suddenly appeared here had instantly shattered Gao Wen's terrifying aura and its oppressive force!!
Who is he?!
He Xiangu and Wang Lingguan were deeply shocked. When they saw Qin Heng holding Gao Wen up by the neck with one hand, their shock intensified to an extreme, leaving them utterly incredulous!!
What the hell!
This is a Knight of the Round Table from London, the inheritor of the title Gao Wen, hailed as the strongest beneath King Arthur, invincible under the sun, a top-tier fighter comparable to a Semi-Saint on the Heaven List!
To think!
To think that he's being held up by the neck like a little infant by this young man of unknown identity!!
My God!
How is this possible?!
Inconceivable!!
It is truly too inconceivable!!
How could such a formidable fighter exist in Beijing without the Myth Organization knowing about it?!
He Xiangu and Wang Lingguan were internally shaken. They regarded Qin Heng with apprehension and suspicion, looking at him uncertainly while searching their memories for any powerful figure who matched the man before them.
This person appears to be only in his late teens, yet his strength is unbelievably immense, easily crushing a Heaven List-level Semi-Saint. Such a person... it seems, it could only be that one!?
"Xuantian, Mr. Xuantian, is that you? Mr. Xuantian!!" He Xiangu and Wang Lingguan exclaimed, both thinking of the same person.
That person was considered the strongest below the Saints within the Myth Organization! The one who, just days ago in Yu State, swept through twenty Semi-Saints and slew Prince Zishen of Shang, formerly ninth on the Heaven List—Qin Xuantian!!
Ninth on the Heaven List!!
Qin Xuantian, the Greatest of All Time!!!
Is it really him?!
"Qin Xuantian, so you are Qin Xuantian?"
Gao Wen, held in the air by Qin Heng's grip on his neck, showed not a hint of fear. Looking at Qin Heng, he sneered, "Not bad, not bad! It seems that even among the yellow-skinned monkeys, a few powerful ones can occasionally emerge!"
His gaze towards Qin Heng was also filled with contempt, as if he were indeed looking at a monkey—utterly scornful.
CRACK!
Qin Heng channeled energy into his palm, directly crushing Gao Wen's neck. Simultaneously, he seized the Bone Flute from Gao Wen's hand, casually tossed him aside, then formed a hand seal to temporarily suppress the flute's continuously awakening power.
Once the Bone Flute was in his possession, Qin Heng discovered it too was incomplete. However, even so, if it were to fully awaken, it would still possess the power of a peak Great Saint!
The only method to awaken it completely was through blood sacrifice!
A rough estimate... to awaken this Bone Flute's power to a level comparable to a peak Great Saint, at least one billion people would have to be sacrificed!
That's more than half the total population of China!
Utterly inhuman!
Moreover, if not sealed, once the Bone Flute began to awaken, even without anyone offering it sacrifices, the flute would seek out its own "food"—
it would absorb human blood and flesh!
This is an extremely dangerous demonic artifact!
He Xiangu and Wang Lingguan were stunned, completely frozen. They stared incredulously at Qin Heng, and at Gao Wen's body lying not far away.
Although they didn't understand what Qin Heng was doing after snatching the Bone Flute, nor could they comprehend the sealing techniques he employed, they had clearly seen him casually snap Gao Wen's neck!
Then, he had tossed Gao Wen's "corpse" aside!!
My God!
How could this be possible?!
Gao Wen!
This was Gao Wen!!
The man known as undying beneath the sun, the strongest below King Arthur, comparable to a Semi-Saint on the Heaven List—Gao Wen!!
Just like that, casually crushed to death by Qin Xuantian?!
This is beyond exaggerated!!
What just happened completely surpassed their understanding of strength below the Saint Realm. How could such a powerful existence exist below the Saints?!
They even wondered if they were mistaken or hallucinating!
Qin Heng had already applied a simple sealing technique to the Bone Flute, temporarily halting its awakening process. He then looked at Gao Wen lying on the ground and said indifferently, "Rise. Do Knights of King Arthur's Round Table also enjoy playing dead?"
A crushed neck would be fatal for an Innate Grandmaster who had not yet stepped into the Semi-Saint Realm. However, for a Martial Artist who had entered the Semi-Saint Realm, such an injury was no more serious than an ordinary bone fracture.
"Eastern powerhouse, you have succeeded in piquing my interest." Gao Wen stood up, his neck still crooked, which looked quite comical. He sneered coldly.
CRACK!
Gao Wen righted his own neck with his hands. Looking at Qin Heng, he said, "Qin Xuantian, according to China's Martial Dao divisions, your strength is merely at the Innate level, yet you managed to suppress the invincible Gao Wen. Truly inconceivable."
Although Gao Wen spoke with great disdain for China, he had actually done extensive research on its martial traditions. He was well aware of the classification of Martial Dao Realms and could correlate them to his own system.
"Heh." Qin Heng scoffed. "I don't find it noteworthy for a human to possess the strength to crush an ant. Make your move, Barbarian. Though you are but an ant, you're barely qualified to die at my hands."
This Gao Wen had a strange power about him, somewhat similar to Prince Zishen of Shang, whom Qin Heng had previously slain with a thunder tribulation, yet also subtly different.
Qin Heng wanted to see what this power was and, at the same time, examine the Western Transcendent system.
Although he had previously encountered an inheritor of the Knights of the Round Table, that Lancelot fellow was too weak—killed with a single slap—so he hadn't learned anything significant.
"Good! Good! Good!!" Gao Wen trembled with rage. His body began to flicker with golden light, and then a golden light sword materialized in his hand out of thin air!
"Damn it! Don't think I'm a weakling like Lancelot! No one has ever faced my sword and lived! Stupid yellow-skinned monkey, die!!!"
