Chapter 784 784: Roll Over Here, Kneel Down!
"Be careful!"
Yun Xianghong finally couldn't help but cry out in alarm. She stood up and shouted at Qin Heng, "This is a Semi-Saint from the Human Emperor's Holy Gate! You're no match for her! Get out of the way, Young Master Qin!"
"Xianghong!!" Yu Mingxia was aghast, her face turning deathly pale in an instant. She stared at Yun Xianghong in disbelief and stammered, "Are you crazy? Sit down! Sit down! Don't make a sound!"
She was almost scared out of her wits.
Her most valued disciple had actually stood up to help the very person the Semi-Saint from the Human Emperor's Holy Gate wanted to kill. This—this was simply dragging the entire Xianxia Sect into a calamity from which recovery would be impossible!
The people around them also turned their gazes to Yun Xianghong, their eyes revealing mocking expressions. She's truly courting death, daring to help someone a Semi-Saint from the Human Emperor's Holy Gate wants dead!
It's simply a death wish!
Of course, quite a few people were shaking their heads in pity. After all, Yun Xianghong was very beautiful. However, the attacking Semi-Saint from the Human Emperor's Holy Gate was also a woman and thus would not be inclined to spare a beauty.
Therefore, her death was certain!
"How audacious!"
As expected, upon hearing Yun Xianghong's words, the woman from the Human Emperor's Holy Gate was furious. Her gaze snapped towards Yun Xianghong, instantly locking onto her.
While attacking Qin Heng with one hand, she raised her other. Grasping a clump of Heavenly Essence, she instantly condensed it into a long spear shining with golden light, like a Heavenly God's punishment upon mortals. She hurled it towards Yun Xianghong!
SCREEECH!!
A skin-crawling, ear-piercing shriek resounded through Heaven and Earth, whipping up a monstrous storm that threatened to tear Tianxing Pavilion to pieces. The mere aftershock almost made the Lingjiang River overturn!
Terrifying!
Too terrifying!!
Even a Great Grandmaster at the peak of the Innate realm would likely be torn to shreds in an instant if faced with such a powerful attack!
Obviously, this woman from the Human Emperor's Holy Gate didn't even take Qin Heng seriously. She even considered Qin Heng guilty of heinous crimes; anyone who dared to help him was equally culpable and deserved to die!
Yun Xianghong was stunned by this sudden attack. Frozen in place, she didn't even know how to dodge. In fact, she couldn't. Against a Semi-Saint's attack, someone at her Half-Step Transcendence cultivation had no way to evade.
"Who gave you the audacity to make a move in my presence?"
Just then, a low shout suddenly rang out, like thunder from the Ninth Heaven exploding throughout the universe, causing everyone's mind to go blank for a moment!
It was Qin Heng!
Then, his eyes suddenly blazed, shining like two suns. They erupted with golden light stretching ten thousand feet, like two sword beams shooting out from them!
One beam, with irresistible force, obliterated the golden spear thrown by the female Semi-Saint from the Human Emperor's Holy Gate. The other beam pierced the Semi-Saint on the spot, sending blood arcing through the sky!
"Ah!!" A mournful scream tore through the air. The female Semi-Saint clutched her pierced chest, floating in the air, looking at Qin Heng in disbelief. "You—you actually dared to fight back? You actually possess the ability to fight back!?"
"How is this possible!?"
"How could someone merely at the peak of the Innate realm possess such strength!?"
The other two Semi-Saints from the Human Emperor's Holy Gate were also dumbstruck, staring at Qin Heng in utter shock, their eyes wide as if they had witnessed something inconceivable.
It was as if they had seen a ghost!
Incredible!
Truly too incredible!!
This man was clearly only at the peak of the Innate realm. How could he possibly contend with a Semi-Saint, even injuring one? It was utterly inconceivable, far too outrageous!
A Semi-Saint! An expert already approaching the Saint realm!
"Ants! You're courting death!"
The female Semi-Saint of the Human Emperor's Holy Gate was enraged to the extreme. She spread her hands, blood spilling from the wound on her ample bosom. Innate True Qi surged, coalescing into sword light within her palms!
At the same time, behind her, images of mountains, rivers, and stars twinkled, and the lights of a myriad homes shone brightly!
In that moment, it was as if an infinite, boundless radiance of the Human Way was bestowed upon her, transforming her into that era's Human Emperor, destined to lead the Human Clan through all obstacles, forging a path forward!
Her vast might suppressed all, her resplendent aura illuminated the ages!
CLANG!!
Suddenly, a sword cry soared into the sky, echoing like a crane's call through the heavens, reverberating across the universe. The female Semi-Saint of the Human Emperor's Holy Gate brought her palms together. Dazzling golden light condensed into a colossal sword, a kilometer in length!
"This is the Human Emperor's sacred art, the Excalibur of Myriad Lights! To die by such a sacred art is your honor!" the female Semi-Saint from the Human Emperor's Holy Gate sneered, still not taking Qin Heng seriously.
A mere peak Innate warrior! Even if he managed to injure me just now, it must have been with the power of some secret treasure. It absolutely couldn't be his own strength!
An Innate realm cultivator cannot possibly contend with a Semi-Saint! It's absolutely impossible!
Now, with this Excalibur of Myriad Lights unleashed, even a true Saint would have to take notice. Exterminating a tiny ant at the peak of the Innate realm will be effortless!
"Die!!"
The female Semi-Saint shouted, then swung the great sword in her clasped hands toward Qin Heng. In an instant, Heaven and Earth seemed to collapse, the very void threatening to cave in!
The entire Hongmen Building of Tianxing Pavilion was instantly crushed. The surrounding ground, under the onslaught of the sword storm, was rent with deep, crisscrossing chasms like a spiderweb—a terrifying sight!
Everyone present was terrified and panicked. They desperately wanted to flee, but faced with a Semi-Saint-level attack, escape was simply impossible!
Despair!
Complete despair!
Yun Xianghong also closed her eyes, quietly awaiting death's arrival. A sudden understanding dawned on her: In this world where the strong reign supreme, if you're not strong enough, you're just an ant, easily crushed by the powerful!
"A tiny pearl, daring to shine?" Qin Heng remarked, a hint of surprise in his voice. He shook his head lightly, then raised his hand and made a grasping motion. In a flash, the sky darkened. A hand that blotted out the heavens and obscured the sun rose, seemingly veiling everything!
The next instant!
The myriad lights of humanity, the aura of the Human Way, the full might of the Excalibur—all were like illusory bubbles before this palm, extinguished and shattered without the slightest resistance.
The entire process, from start to finish, took less than a second. In that brief instant, the female Semi-Saint's attack was utterly crushed!
Everyone present was dumbfounded, including the female Semi-Saint herself. She stared blankly at the massive hand, momentarily forgetting even how to think!
How—how is this possible? What is happening!??
Then, Qin Heng's hand seized the female Semi-Saint. He yanked her before him and slammed her to the ground. With a THUD, she was forced to her knees, the impact nearly shattering the earth beneath her!
"The Human Emperor's Holy Gate, the ancestral sect of the Human Emperors of old... and its present-day successors are of such caliber?"
Qin Heng's eyebrows rose slightly. His gaze swept over the other two dumbstruck Semi-Saints as he said indifferently, "Crawl over here and kneel. Otherwise, kill yourselves!"
