Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 626 626: Morning Purple Qi

The sorcery was complete.

Jie Xun brought his palms together again, returning to his inscrutable demeanor, a faint smile on his face, brimming with confidence.

"Master, just like that, it's done?" Fang Tianci asked with some doubt.

Being a mere mortal, he could not feel the power of Jie Xun's True Qi in action; to him, Jie Xun had merely performed a few gestures and whispered a few words. Could this really doom a person to death? Too mysterious!

"What do you know!" Jie Xun snorted coldly, his gaze chilling as he looked towards Qin Heng and said, "Within ten seconds, my secret technique will take effect. Very soon, he will fall to the ground, bearing a weight a hundred times his own, and then fall off the cliff!!"

"Really?!" Fang Tianci was overjoyed and laughed. "That's fantastic! Hahaha! This little beast truly deserves to die! Thank you, Master!!"

"It is I who should thank the benefactor for the one hundred million in donations," Jie Xun said with palms together, wearing an expression of compassion. "A person of such great merit as the benefactor will surely be protected by my Buddha. I am merely acting on behalf of the Buddha to bestow His grace. The benefactor need not... AH!!"

Suddenly, he let out a scream, his words cut short!!

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!!

The sound of bones shattering rang out one after another. Like a broken model toy, Jie Xun's body crumpled, the bones in his limbs twisting as he collapsed to the ground!

"AHHH! AHHHHHHHHH!!" Jie Xun, the handsome and dignified monk in white, screamed himself hoarse, sprawled on the ground like a pile of mud, suffering a fate worse than death!!

"What's going on?! Master Jie Xun!!" Fang Tianci was dumbfounded, staring incredulously at Jie Xun on the ground. He had no idea what was happening. What had occurred!? Why had the mighty Master Jie Xun suddenly become like this!?

"Ahhh! Who are you! How could you deflect my secret technique!!" Jie Xun roared, his facial features distorted, his originally handsome face now ferocious. His whole body's Innate True Qi circulated rapidly to recover from his injuries. He somehow managed to stand up, fixing his gaze on Qin Heng, his teeth gritted. "Quite the hidden depth! Who on earth are you..."

BANG!!

Jie Xun hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly flew sideways, as if hit by a truck, and with a SLAP, he was stuck against a wall more than ten meters away, like a painting!

"Ant-like being, who gave you the courage to lay a hand on me?" Qin Heng turned around, his expression indifferent, his gaze calm, as he walked slowly. "Say it. How do you wish to die?"

He merely walked past. Yet Ai Su Su, Mo Qing, and the other tourists beside him felt nothing, continuing to wait for the sunrise as if Qin Heng's actions and Jie Xun's screams didn't exist at all!

Or rather, it was as though they could not hear or see! It was like it was happening in another world!!

How was this possible!?

"You! How is this possible!? How could you possess such a technique!?"

Jie Xun, noticing the situation around him, broke out in a cold sweat. A chill ran down his spine as he looked at Qin Heng in disbelief and said tremulously, "Saint... a Saint! Are you... are you a Martial Dao Saint, a Buddha's child in the mortal realm!?"

Only the Sacred Domain of a Saint could completely shield the perceptions of those around!! In the Buddha Gate, a Saint can also be referred to as a Buddha's child!!

"Even Sakyamuni would kneel before me. What is a Buddha's child?" Qin Heng shook his head gently. With a grasp of his hand, he once again pulled Jie Xun before him. The terrifying pressure forced Jie Xun to kneel, not daring to raise his head.

"What- what is going on here?!" Fang Tianci was completely stunned, looking at Qin Heng and Jie Xun in utter shock, and shouted, "Master Jie Xun, didn't you say Qin Heng was doomed to die? Why..."

"Too noisy!" Qin Heng frowned, glancing at Fang Tianci.

The next second, Fang Tianci, this wealthy young master, froze. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Qin Heng. Then, he turned into a wisp of green smoke and ascended into the heavens!

He evaporated on the spot, completely disappearing from this mortal world. Gone from existence!

"You dare insult the Buddha!?" Jie Xun stared at Qin Heng as if he had seen a ghost. "Who are you? I never knew such a Saint existed among mortals!"

BANG!

Qin Heng stepped on Jie Xun, pinning him underfoot, and said indifferently, "You're not qualified to ask me. Judging by the nature of your True Qi, you must be from the Boundless Vajra Sect?"

"That's right! I am a True Disciple of the Boundless Vajra Sect!" Jie Xun looked up at Qin Heng, seemingly regaining some confidence. "And my master, who personally taught me, is Watanabe, the 'Buddha Knife,' ranked sixth on the Heavenly Ranking!"

BANG!!

Qin Heng increased the pressure under his foot, crushing Jie Xun's just-recovered spine again, and said flatly, "The sixth on the Heavenly Ranking? A mere ant. Is your Boundless Vajra Sect cooperating with the Nine Nether Evil Demons?"

"The Nine Nether Evil Demons? What are they?" Jie Xun shook his head, then scoffed, "You dare call my master an ant? What do you think you are!"

In Jie Xun's eyes, Buddha Knife Watanabe was one of the most powerful beings in the world. The only reason he was ranked sixth on the Heavenly Ranking was that his master couldn't be bothered to contend for a higher spot.

"You're not lying. It seems you truly don't know. Useless." Qin Heng shook his head in disappointment, applying force with his foot, ready to crush Jie Xun to death. A mere Innate realm cultivator was indeed like an ant; one could squash them underfoot.

"Ahhh!!" Jie Xun screamed, feeling as if his flesh and bones were about to disintegrate. His mind raced, and he quickly yelled, "No! No! I've remembered something! I've remembered something! My Senior Brother, Monk Jie Tan—my master's top disciple—has been acting mysteriously lately. His cultivation has improved at a terrifying pace! A month ago, his cultivation level was similar to mine! But now, he's already at the peak of the Innate stage, on the verge of stepping into the Semi-Saint realm!"

"Is that so…" Qin Heng's eyes narrowed slightly in thought as he lifted his foot from Jie Xun's body.

He was about to speak. But just then! His Divine Sense stirred, perceiving a strand of morning Purple Qi, accompanied by a sliver of the red sun, leaping out from the boundary where day and night converged!!

HUM!

A dazzling red light filled the world, instantly dispelling the dawn's darkness. That radiant red seemed to become the sole color in the mortal realm—brilliant, pure, and vibrant, as if heralding the dawn of creation!

The people on the viewing platform all cheered, eagerly using their DSLR cameras or smartphones to capture this magnificent and dazzling scene!

To ordinary people, it was a scene of boundless beauty!

But in Qin Heng's eyes, he could perceive another layer to the spectacle!

The Purple Qi within that red light!

Entwined with the Daoist Principles of the universe!

It contained the power of Yin-Yang harmony and the principles of universal evolution—profoundly mystical!

Morning Purple Qi!!

"I shall break the formation!" Qin Heng said with a smile.
