Chapter 718 718: 718
Who would dare to reply under such circumstances?
No one dared to respond!
No one dared to answer!
The two who had just claimed a share for all who saw it had already been smashed into mincemeat; the stench of blood still hung in the air.
They were two Semi-Saints!
Before Qin Xuantian, the weak were like ants, casually slapped to death with a wave of his hand!
Such terrifying strength!
It was horrifying!
All around, there was dead silence. Everyone lowered their heads, not even daring to look at Qin Heng.
"Since there's no one, what are you still standing here for?" Qin Heng glanced at them and snorted coldly. "Scram!"
Tyrannical!
Truly, utterly tyrannical!
Yet, no one dared to refute Qin Heng; not a single person even dared to make a sound. Even if they were seething with anger internally, they wouldn't dare!
Qin Heng was too powerful.
Semi-Saints were like ants before him, casually crushed. To confront him now was simply courting death!
Just as these people were about to leave, the sound of whooshing wind suddenly came from afar, seeming to stir even the clouds in the sky.
The laws governing heaven and earth subtly shifted!
"Hahaha! What a Qin Xuantian! So majestic, so tyrannical!"
A clear laugh rode the wind, ringing in everyone's ears. Soon, a young Taoist was seen arriving, borne upon the wind, his robes fluttering. He hovered high in the air, looking down upon Qin Heng and the others.
Who is this!?
How could someone be so audacious, daring to mock Qin Heng at this moment!?
Everyone looked up.
They were all stunned.
This Taoist appeared to be eighteen or nineteen years old. His hair was jet-black, though his temples were streaked with white. His eyes were dark and bright, as if they held a Star Sea within them. He stood upon the clouds, looking down, like an Immortal descended to the mortal realm.
"Lin Sanfa! It's actually Lin Sanfa!"
"Lin Sanfa, who has held the top spot on the Heavenly Ranking for five hundred years! What is he doing here?"
"Could he have a grudge against Qin Xuantian?"
Everyone present exclaimed, staring in disbelief at the young Taoist who had suddenly appeared. They were all utterly astounded.
This top-ranked individual cultivated year-round on the North Peak of Mount Hua.
He hardly ever descended to the mortal realm.
Why has he suddenly appeared this time? And he seems to know Qin Xuantian?
Trouble is brewing!
A glint of excitement appeared in many people's eyes. They hoped Lin Sanfa would teach Qin Xuantian a harsh lesson; if he could maim or cripple Qin Xuantian, that would be even better!
It was said that Lin Sanfa's origins were incomparably mysterious. Five hundred years ago, he had already been on the verge of the Saint Realm, having stepped into the Pseudo-Saint Realm!
Now, after five hundred years, no one knew just how powerful he had become.
"Lin Sanfa!?" Lu Ziyi also exclaimed. She seemed to recall something, her expression wary as she said in a low voice, "Qin Heng, this man's identity is highly unusual."
"This man is very mysterious," Xue Qinan agreed with a nod. "Two years ago, he even came to the Myth Organization looking for the West Emperor and Prince East. The entire Forbidden City was sealed by an inexplicable power back then, and no one knows what happened that day."
Qin Heng nodded slightly upon hearing this. He looked up at Lin Sanfa in the sky and said indifferently, "You. Come down."
The atmosphere instantly froze!
Everyone around, including Lu Ziyi, Xue Qinan, and the others from the Myth Organization, froze. They stared at Qin Heng with astonished expressions.
Damn!
Didn't we just tell you this person's identity is mysterious and extraordinary, that he shouldn't be underestimated?
This attitude... it's practically spoiling for a fight!
Lin Sanfa was taken aback for a moment, then he laughed. "Not bad. You're really quite something. In the past five hundred years, you're not the first arrogant genius I've encountered.
"Two years ago, I sought out the West Emperor and Prince East of the Myth Organization. They both treated me with utmost courtesy. That's because a hundred years prior, I also came to the mortal realm in search of another genius, one who also had a fiery temper. That genius was named Li Shuwen."
"Li Shuwen? You mean the Republic-era grandmaster of national martial arts, 'God Spear' Li Shuwen?"
"A hundred years ago, when the Divine Province was in turmoil, an era of chaotic conflict, Li Shuwen was hailed as the Martial Dao genius with the greatest potential to become a Saint!"
"But Li Shuwen never broke through to the Saint Realm. He didn't even live long, dying in his mere forties..."
"Could this be related to Lin Sanfa?"
Many people murmured amongst themselves. A hundred years ago, 'God Spear' Li Shuwen had swept across the land. Even at the Innate Realm, he had overwhelmed a peak Semi-Saint, his might shaking the heavens and earth!
Everyone believed he could breach the gates of the Saint Realm and become a true Saint.
Yet, unexpectedly, within just a few short decades, he aged beyond recognition. The 'God Spear' of yesteryear ultimately died filled with resentment. It was truly unbelievable.
"That's right. Li Shuwen's gloomy end was indeed related to me."
Lin Sanfa nodded, his gaze sweeping over the crowd before finally resting on Qin Heng. "I recognized his supreme talent and astounding potential, so I came to the mortal realm to invite him to become my Servant. Had he performed well, he would have even had the chance to join my sect. For him, this was a heaven-sent opportunity!"
At this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Lin Sanfa's eyes. He snorted coldly. "But that Li Shuwen failed to appreciate my generosity! He prattled on about the nation being in peril, that he had to champion Huaxia's Martial Dao on the world stage, that he would use his spear to forge an era of peace and order.
"Utterly ridiculous! The mortals of this world are mere ants. Yet Li Shuwen refused my invitation for the sake of these ants! This was an insult to me and my sect!
"Therefore, I severed his meridians and sealed his Divine soul with my true power, ensuring he could never condense a true Saint's phenomenal domain. That is the price for refusal!
"Qin Xuantian, do you still dare..."
"I told you to get down here. Didn't you hear me clearly?" Qin Heng's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Lin Sanfa, his voice calm. "Or do you need me to personally drag you down?"
Lu Ziyi let out a strained laugh. "Qin Heng," she warned, "Lin Sanfa's strength cannot be measured by common standards! Moreover, the power backing him is far too terrifying. You should be... more cautious."
"Hahaha! Your temper is even fierier than Li Shuwen's!" Lin Sanfa laughed instead of growing angry. He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, maintaining his lofty demeanor as he looked down at Qin Heng and said, "Qin Xuantian, let me be perfectly clear. You now have two choices. First, become my Servant. In three hundred years, I will guide you into my sect, allowing you to inherit the supreme Dao. You may choose any peerless Divine Skill you desire, and even have the chance to observe the Dao marks left by a Great Emperor.
"The second option, naturally..." Lin Sanfa's eyes began to flash with murderous intent. Like a Heavenly God passing judgment on mortals, he looked at Qin Heng and snorted coldly, "...is that you will end up just like Li Shuwen, forever unable to dream of..."
"What? The supreme Dao? Peerless Divine Skills?"
"Dao marks left by a Great Emperor? How is that possible? His sect produced a Great Emperor!?"
"Heavens, that can't be true! What are Lin Sanfa's true origins?"
Everyone was dumbfounded. They stared at Lin Sanfa in the sky with wide, incredulous eyes, as if their eyeballs would pop out. It was utterly unbelievable!
A Great Emperor!
The supreme Great Emperor, who reigns above all Daos, dominates the universe—the invincible Great Emperor!
For the vast majority of Martial Artists, such a being was purely legendary, something they scarcely dared to believe truly existed.
Yet Lin Sanfa had spoken so casually, claiming that with his introduction, one could observe the Dao marks left by a Great Emperor!
What an earth-shattering opportunity!
What exactly were Lin Sanfa's origins?
To be capable of such a feat... it was too terrifying!
"Are you deaf?" Qin Heng lost his patience. He raised his palm, reaching towards Lin Sanfa in the sky. "You ant-like insect! Get down here and kneel!"
