Chapter 708 708: As You Wish!
"No!!"
Bai Qi was utterly shocked; he could perceive exactly how terrifying and powerful that finger descending from the sky was!!
The power of that being, who seemed merely at the Innate Realm, resembled that of the Heavenly Emperor, undoubtedly capable of destroying Xianyang City and overturning Qin Country!! All the things along the way, Bai Qi had witnessed them with his own eyes!! Destroying cities and annihilating nations! With a flick of the fingers, it was all done!! Too strong!!
"Qin Heng!!"
Lu Ziyi also cried out in astonishment, her expression filled with great surprise. She had been guessing, but now she was completely certain!! The person who made the move! It was Qin Heng! He really did act against the capital of Qin Country, oh heavens, he's only at the pinnacle of the Innate Realm!! Too strong!! Truly too strong!!
Lu Ziyi stared blankly at the finger descending from the sky like an ancient supreme deity, her heart trembling to its core. She had never before seen an Innate as powerful as Qin Heng!!!
"Your Majesty!!" Bai Qi rushed in front of King Zhao of Qin, wanting to block Qin Heng's attack for him. In his heart, he ultimately still sided with Qin Country. How could he watch King Zhao of Qin die before him at the hands of Qin Heng! No! Definitely not like this!!
"Get out of the way!"
However, King Zhao of Qin showed no gratitude. With the overwhelming strength of an Eighth-Heaven Great Saint, he completely overpowered Bai Qi and with a mere wave of his hand, sent Bai Qi flying backwards!!
"I don't need anyone's help! In this world, I am the strongest, Qin Country is the strongest!!!"
King Zhao of Qin roared with laughter, watching Qin Heng's finger press down from high above. His eyes held a hint of disdain as he sneered, "No one can act wildly in my great Qin, not even the Son of Heaven, let alone you, a rustic cultivator!!!"
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!!!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
The sound of war drums was like thunder. In an instant, every man, woman, and child in Xianyang, the capital of Qin, donned armor, brandished weapons, waved battle flags, and sounded their bugles, making the war drums resonate!!!
A tremendously majestic aura, like a torrential river or a boundless sea, solidified into tangible form, creating dark, dragon-like shadows that frantically converged into King Zhao of Qin's body!!
"Majestic Qin Country!! Unifying the world!!"
"The great winds of Qin Country!! Stabilizing the Central Plains!!"
"Those who offend our great Qin!! Though far, they shall be punished!!"
"Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!!!!"
The roars shook the heavens, moving the very clouds above!!
In Xianyang, the entire city was armed. An immensely strong surge of national destiny, along with the collective will to kill, all converged, pouring into King Zhao of Qin's body like a celestial river reversing its flow!!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!
It was as if heaven and earth were being remade, as the principles and rhythm of the Dao were reconfigured, shaking the very foundations of this world. King Zhao of Qin spread his arms and let out a skyward howl!!
"HAAH!!!"
BOOM!!
Inside Xianyang City, a golden light surged into the sky, shaking the land for a thousand miles around, darkening the heavens and changing the colors of the sun and moon!!
It was almost as if the very telluric energies of the Nine Provinces were being overturned. Then, a colossal bronze cauldron, towering thousands of feet high, shot into the sky, colliding with Qin Heng's descending finger!!!
"This is one of King Yu's Nine Cauldrons, the Yongzhou Cauldron! A part of an Imperial Armament! You rustic cultivator, a nameless nobody, dying beneath this cauldron is an act of grace I bestow upon you!!"
King Zhao of Qin stood with his hands behind his back, his demeanor proud, his black royal robe billowing. He truly looked like a supreme sovereign commanding all laws, overwhelming the world, suppressing the universe!!
A hegemon of his generation! This was the extent of it!
At this moment, King Zhao of Qin's gaze had already landed on Qin Heng outside the city, but he didn't take Qin Heng seriously. After all, the power of the Yongzhou Cauldron was too strong, truly too strong!!
Even a peak expert of the Nine Heavens of the Great Saint, on the verge of becoming a Saint King, couldn't withstand a blow from the Yongzhou Cauldron!! This foolish rustic cultivator! He is sure to die!!
"My Lord!!" Bai Qi instinctively cried out. He had involuntarily called Qin Heng 'My Lord'. Then his expression drastically changed, his face turning pale!!
It wasn't because he was afraid of someone hearing the title, but because he was shocked at his own actions. He had involuntarily, in his subconscious, regarded that man as his lord!! How could this be!!??
"Qin Heng, run for your life!!" Lu Ziyi yelled with all her might, her voice hoarse with desperation. "That's part of an Imperial Armament! You can't possibly be its match!! Run!!!"
She had never expected that King Zhao of Qin would actually be able to activate the Yongzhou Cauldron for an attack. This wasn't just borrowing the power of the Yongzhou Cauldron, but truly activating this supreme treasure!!
Incredible! Truly too incredible! How could King Zhao of Qin be so powerful? Could it be the empowerment from the converged fortune and torrent of will just now!??
Lu Ziyi's mind raced with numerous guesses, but no matter what, she could confirm one thing: King Zhao of Qin's current attack was absolutely something Qin Heng couldn't withstand!!
Certain death! Truly, undeniably, certain death!!
CRACK!!
RUMBLE!!!
Like the sound of a mountain collapsing from an impact, the descending finger, when faced with the Yongzhou Cauldron, shattered on the spot. It broke into fragments and exploded into powder!!
"Qin Heng!!" Lu Ziyi screamed, her small face turning pale, tears welling in her eyes. She shouted, "Don't worry about me! Don't concern yourself with me! Just run!!!"
She had, in fact, jumped to conclusions—Qin Heng hadn't even known she was in Xianyang City before his arrival!!!
"It's no use, no use!" King Zhao of Qin shook his head, his demeanor dignified, and sneered, "Under the enveloping light of the Yongzhou Cauldron, there is no hiding within a thousand miles. He cannot escape!!"
CLANG!!!
Just at that moment, a sword cry, as piercing as a crane's call resounding through the nine heavens, pierced through all directions!
Immediately thereafter, a beam of bright silver sword light, like moonlight pouring down from the Taiyin Star, crossed the dark night sky. It locked onto Xianyang City, King Zhao of Qin, and everyone who had just infused King Zhao of Qin with their fortune and will!!
At this moment, every single person could feel a sharp pain between their eyebrows, as if they were about to be pierced by something!!
SWOOSH!!
The sword light, like a pillar of radiance, instantly tore through the night sky from above and struck straight at the Yongzhou Cauldron floating in the air!!!
"Ignorant whelp, overestimating your own strength," King Zhao of Qin saw this scene and immediately scoffed. "You cannot possibly imagine the power and terror of the Yongzhou Cauldron! An ant like you!! You are incomparable!!"
BOOM!!
The next instant, the golden light of the Yongzhou Cauldron that had shot up to the sky was shattered!!
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!!
The deafening sound of metal clashing made King Zhao of Qin's head spin. The great bronze cauldron shook violently as if it had been struck by a hammer from mid-air, then immediately shrank to the size of a palm-sized small cauldron!
It fell from the sky!!
At the same time, the bright silver sword light, its might undiminished, surged down like the Milky Way cascading from the nine heavens. It swept mightily, engulfing the entire city of Xianyang in an instant!!
"How can this b—" King Zhao of Qin began to cry out in disbelief, but before he could finish his words, he was swallowed by the sword light!!!
In an instant, all the formation bans set up around Xianyang City were crushed by the sword light. The city walls crumbled, and all buildings were leveled to the ground!!
Yet, the people did not die!!
As the sword light dissipated, King Zhao of Qin looked around in shock. He found that the palace he was in had become a vast crater, but whether it was the soldiers or the servants, they were all still alive!
What's going on!?
King Zhao of Qin was puzzled and had yet to investigate!!
THUMP!!
Suddenly, he felt his head grow heavy, and he fell face-first to the ground, his face pressed into the earth!!!
"Old man, care to repeat that?" Qin Heng appeared out of nowhere, holding the Yongzhou Cauldron in one hand. He stepped on King Zhao of Qin's head, grinding it into the dirt, and sneered, "Say it again. Who did you call an ant?"
What if he was at the Eighth Heaven of the Great Saint?
The Time-Space Seal is ultimately just a seal; it can never compare to a true Great Saint. This King Zhao of Qin isn't even as powerful as a true First-Heaven Great Saint from the real world!! At most, he's only about a thousand times more powerful than a Saint Lord!! For Qin Heng, unless it's a true Great Saint, no one can be his opponent!!
Meanwhile, not far away, Bai Qi and the many generals stood stunned, their faces filled with disbelief and an unspeakable sense of humiliation. Their king, their supreme king!!
He was now being stepped on, his face ground into the mud by someone else!!!
Yet they could do nothing, not even dare to utter a word. This person who had suddenly appeared was simply too strong!!!!
"Ignorant whelp, a warrior can be killed, but not humiliated!!!" King Zhao of Qin roared.
"Then, as you wish!!"
Qin Heng sneered. He pressed down with his foot, and with a sickening CRUNCH, blood splattered!!!
