Chapter 710 710: You'll Know When You Get There
Assassinate the Heavenly Emperor! Seize the Nine Tripods! Control the Nine Provinces!!?
Bai Qi looked at Qin Heng incredulously, as if he were looking at a madman!
His goal! To actually seize this world's government and territory!!!
Even the previous King Zhao of Qin had, at most, only wanted to dominate among the states. On the surface, he was still respectful to the Heavenly Emperor in the royal Zhou. At the very most, he had occasionally thought about seizing the world.
But Qin Heng had actually said it so easily, with such nonchalance, as if it were as simple as reaching into a bag and taking something!
Madman!! A true madman!!
"Qin Emperor, that's the Heavenly Emperor!" Bai Qi barely composed himself and said to Qin Heng. "The Son of Heaven, the son of the Heavenly Emperor! No one in this world can be more powerful than the Heavenly Emperor; no one can contend with the Heavenly Emperor!"
In this world with transcendent power, the title "Heavenly Emperor" was absolutely not just a title, but one with genuine Divine Skills and authority.
"That's right." Lu Ziyi nodded and said to Qin Heng, "I have read in the ancient records of my sect that even before ancient times, the position of the Heavenly Emperor itself possessed extremely powerful authority. The magnitude of these Divine Skills was related to the nation's fortunes. Though the royal Zhou has weakened now, the Zhou Heavenly Emperor remains the master of the world, the ruler of the Nine Provinces, gathering the fortunes of the universe. With this power vested in him, he is likely no weaker than a Saint King."
Qin Heng actually intended to go to the royal Zhou to kill the Zhou Heavenly Emperor; this was truly too outrageous! Even if this were only a Time-Space Seal, and even if the cultivation here wasn't real, the Heavenly Emperor's power would be greatly diminished. It definitely wasn't something Qin Heng could contend against! Although Qin Heng was very powerful, even unimaginably so—calling him the first of all ages wouldn't be an issue at all—that didn't mean he could do anything. That was the Zhou Heavenly Emperor! And Qin Heng, when it came down to it, was only at the pinnacle of the Innate level! The gap was just too huge! It was simply like an ant trying to overturn a mountain—an impossible feat!
"Merely the Heavenly Emperor; he's nothing to be concerned about," Qin Heng said indifferently, as if he truly didn't care. "Let's go. Once we get to the royal Zhou, you'll understand."
He didn't plan to explain anything.
Once they reached the royal Zhou and he took action himself, everything would be understood without needing explanation.
Lu Ziyi remained silent.
Bai Qi also said nothing.
They both knew they simply couldn't persuade Qin Heng.
An expert of his caliber, once he decided on something, would definitely not be swayed by others.
「...」
Ning Shuying and Xue Qinan encountered a crisis.
It didn't come from the ancient powerhouses within this secret realm, but from the modern-day people who had entered with them—five Semi-Saints from other countries.
Two from Japan, one from India, one from Korea, and one from Indonesia.
All of them were powerhouses at the peak of the Semi-Saint realm!
Among them, the two from Japan were veritable relics who had lived from five hundred years ago to the present, possessing incomparable strength. Even a Pseudo-Saint like Xue Qinan, who had almost truly stepped into the Dao of Saints, had to treat them with caution.
Previously, Ning Shuying and Xue Qinan had explored Anyi, the old capital of Wei Country, and then its capital, Da Liang. They had collected over a dozen Saintly Arms and were about to leave when they were intercepted by these five foreigners.
"Put down the Treasure Weapons in your hands." The Japanese man who spoke appeared to be in his sixties or seventies. He was short and hunchbacked, dressed in ancient samurai attire. His gaze upon Ning Shuying and Xue Qinan was malevolent, overflowing with murderous intent. "Otherwise, your lives will be left here forever."
"Don't be greedy. You cannot possibly take away so many Treasure Weapons." Another Japanese man narrowed his eyes, sizing up Ning Shuying and Xue Qinan. He licked his lips and said, "Two beautiful girls, you might encounter something more terrible than death!"
"You Japanese dogs, how dare you!" Xue Qinan's beautiful eyes widened as she glared at the men. She said sternly, "Move aside immediately, or one of you will die without a burial place!"
At the same time, she unfolded her nearly complete Sacred Domain. Its formidable presence seemed to envelop the heavens and earth as her entire being gracefully rose, hovering in the air like a Heavenly Immortal descending from the Nine Heavens to the mortal realm!
"The Xuantian Maiden of the Nine Heavens from the myths! I know your identity!"
The old Japanese man, his back hunched, slowly drew the katana from his waist. The blade was eerie; wherever it passed, it actually sliced through the Sacred Domain Xue Qinan had unfurled.
"This katana in my hand can cut through even a true Saint's domain, let alone your half-baked one! Submit, or you will experience what hell is!"
Behind him, the three Semi-Saints from India, Korea, and Indonesia let their gazes sweep greedily and wantonly over Ning Shuying's and Xue Qinan's beautiful faces and exquisite figures.
"Sister Qinan, what should we do?" Ning Shuying asked in a low voice. She had only recently stepped into the Semi-Saint realm and was still a great distance from its peak!
Faced with such an encirclement, she could hardly be of any help.
"We fight our way out!" Xue Qinan was very decisive. She had already seen that these foreign Semi-Saints had no intention of letting them go. In fact, they wanted not only the Treasure Weapons but also them!
There was no other choice! Only to fight! She would rather die fighting than ever submit to foreigners!
"Stubborn fools, courting your own death!"
The short, hunchbacked Japanese Semi-Saint sneered coldly, raising the katana in his hand, his killing intent surging. As he shot up into the sky, he unleashed centuries of accumulated, dense True Qi. Combining it with the bewitched blade, he actually found himself evenly matched with Xue Qinan, who was at the Pseudo-Saint level!
The other four Semi-Saints, their expressions extremely vicious, all made their moves, launching their attacks on Xue Qinan and Ning Shuying!
Just at this critical juncture, CLANG!
A sword cry rang out, like a crane calling across the Nine Heavens, piercing through all directions, penetrating the clouds, and crossing the endless void. It descended from the sky like a pillar of light connecting heaven and earth, like the judgment of the heavens!
BOOM!
It struck the five foreign Semi-Saints.
In just an instant, whether it was the eerie, hunchbacked old man with the bewitched blade or the other four attacking Semi-Saints, all of them melted like snow in boiling water under that terrifying sword light. They dissolved into puddles of thick liquid, ceasing to exist!
Ning Shuying and Xue Qinan, who had been tensed and ready to fight with all their strength, were both stunned. Their expressions were ones of astonishment and utter bewilderment.
What just happened?!
The enemies, who had been ready for battle just moments ago, how did they suddenly vanish? No! It wasn't that they vanished! They were killed! Who attacked? The aura of that sword light... it seemed somewhat familiar...
"Qin Heng! It's Qin Heng!" Ning Shuying suddenly exclaimed, pointing into the distance, her voice filled with delighted surprise.
"Mr. Xuantian!" Xue Qinan was also incredibly surprised. She, too, saw Qin Heng slowly approaching in the vehicle known as the Nine Dragons Carriage, and she immediately felt reassured.
She already knew that the one who had just acted was none other than Qin Heng.
