The Peerless Emperor

Chapter 392: Chapter 393: Truly Sinful

The voice of the bald Marquis attracted the attention of many people, all turning their eyes towards him.

Some of the Third Party Powers exhibited odd expressions upon seeing the vocal bald Marquis.

“This guy is Wu Xuan of the Qin Dynasty and is considered the strongest defender among all the Marquises and generals in the Qin Dynasty. His Martial Soul characteristic is solid as a fortress, enhancing the defense of his Soul Power, physique, and soul skills by three times. Moreover, when he defends purely, his Soul Power consumption is reduced by sixty percent.”

Lin Qian received the telepathic message from Fang Yiping’s Soul Consciousness explaining the background of this bald Marquis.

“Your Majesty Lin, this guy is really troublesome,” the elder from Blood Spirit Valley, standing by Lin Qian, frowned helplessly and said, “Even with increased power, we still can’t break his tortoise shell.”

Lin Qian nodded slightly, his gaze fixating on the somewhat smug Wu Xuan, his eyes shining with excitement. Such an opponent was truly challenging.

“It seems you are very confident in your defense, thinking that I can’t break through it?” As Lin Qian spoke, his imperial might surged forth, overwhelming and rolling over Wu Xuan.

Despite Wu Xuan’s face changing color, it soon returned to normal. It was obvious that when Lin Qian referred to himself as “I”, his imperial dominance was fully unleashed, but the imperial might had no significant effect on Wu Xuan.

Wu Xuan’s own Realm in the Awakening Realm was one aspect, based on Lin Qian’s guess, the special defense boost of the opponent’s Martial Soul might also have an additional effect on the soul.

“It’s indeed a perfect tortoise shell Martial Soul characteristic—truly comprehensive defense,” Even Lin Qian had to admire Wu Xuan’s defense; it was indeed watertight.

Yet, the stronger the defense, the more interested Lin Qian became in breaking through Wu Xuan’s defense.

“Could it be necessary to merge dual Elemental Weapon Armament, wielding the Emperor Sword?” Lin Qian looked at the slightly smug Wu Xuan, then slowly shook his head, “Revealing this trump card too soon is disadvantageous; previously in the Four Directions World, there were no survivors to leak this information, now we must be more cautious.”

After dismissing this idea, a smile soon appeared on Lin Qian’s face as he already had a plan in mind.

If the current power wasn’t enough to shatter Wu Xuan’s defense, then why not just increase the power and forcefully smash this tortoise shell?

Having resolved his thoughts, Lin Qian suddenly raised his right hand, and bright golden Imperial Soul Power surged from his palm, condensing into a miniature form of nine dragons, a small Golden Dragon, no thicker than a finger, elegantly hovering above his palm.

Below the tiny nine dragons dancing on his palm, the clear golden Soul Power solidified into a perfectly square base. The tiny dragon immediately rushed towards this base and finally solidified.

Jade Seal of Nine Dragons!

Once the Jade Seal of Nine Dragons formed in Lin Qian’s palm, his imperial might intensified, as if becoming tangible.

To everyone’s eyes, he was no longer the young junior, but a supreme ruler in charge of vast lands and a vast empire, his presence greater than kings and higher than emperors!

“Emperor…” In everyone’s mind, these two words involuntarily surfaced.

In the past, they had only heard about Human Emperors of Dynasties and Great Emperors of Boundary Countries, but had never known of this title of Emperor, yet now they somehow understood why it seemed appropriate.

“Imperial authority!” Lin Qian still stared at Wu Xuan, slowly uttering these two words while four blood-colored characters floated above the palm of his right hand.

Blood War Blood Craving!

In his former life as a player, talents always came with their own Skill Tree. Lin Qian’s imperial dominance Skill Tree’s most basic skill was the Jade Seal of Nine Dragons, and only after condensing the Jade Seal of Nine Dragons could other Emperor skills be utilized.

Lin Qian had once used the Imperial Authority: acquiring all military skills within a thousand miles radius!

Just like the Blood Battle’s thirst of blood, which after slaying an enemy, boosted his strength by twenty percent and could at most increase it to fifty percent, effectively doubling the power!

After completing the Imperial Authority skill, the Nine Dragons Jade Seal in Lin Qian’s hand slowly dissipated. His gaze shifted away from Wu Xuan and instead, he targeted the Carefree Sect’s elder, who was fighting with a general from the Qin Dynasty.

Bang!

The elder from Blood Spirit Valley only felt the air around him explode as Lin Qian, who had been beside him, vanished, turning into a rumbling red-gold Thunder that tore through the sky, rushing towards the direction of the Carefree Sect’s elder.

Hiss!

The sharp sound of electricity whistled through the air, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Qian had traversed most of the distance across the sky, rushing behind the Carefree Sect’s elder.

The elder with the bulbous nose hadn’t even reacted when he found Lin Qian’s hand on his shoulder, violently pulling him backward.

The sudden overpowering force caught the Carefree Sect’s elder off guard. Unable to resist, he was flung backward, while Lin Qian aggressively lunged forward.

The black blade of the Thunder Night Sword seemed to roar, the Thunder Sword Qi appeared like a Thunder Dragon being born, slashing across the face of the general who was originally fighting with the elder.

The surging Thunder Soul Power, like a flowing river of red-gold, instantly engulfed the general from the Qin Dynasty.

Crackling…

As the golden lightning gradually dissipated, the general from the Qin Dynasty who had originally been in front of Lin Qian had disappeared without a trace, evidently obliterated by Lin Qian’s sword, reduced to ashes with no corpse left.

And Lin Qian, still lingering in mid-air, radiated a layer of blood-red light, clearly deriving from the Blood Battle’s thirst of blood, having already taken effect.

Merely with one move, Lin Qian had eradicated a Third Level Awakening Realm powerhouse from the Qin Dynasty, scaring those around him considerably.

Even though the Carefree Sect’s elder had previously fought with him, reducing his strength from its peak by a large margin, one move was nevertheless terrifyingly effective.

This was indeed a Third Level Awakening Realm powerhouse, not just any regular weakling.

However, Lin Qian’s move, while appearing effortless, was not randomly executed but a serious all-out effort, showing great respect to his opponent.

“One, and there are four more left,” Lin Qian muttered, as the red-gold Thunder burst again, rushing towards another heavily drained Awakening Realm powerhouse from the Qin Dynasty.

Seeing Lin Qian charge at him, this Awakening Realm powerhouse from the Qin Dynasty, like a mouse seeing a cat, got scared, abandoned his opponent, and turned to run.

Although this general from the Qin Dynasty belonged to the Second Level Awakening Realm and his opponent was not as strong as the elder, hence his energy hadn’t been significantly drained and his condition was relatively good.

Yet, he was still directly slain by Lin Qian with five swords, deepening the blood luminescence on his body.

It wasn’t until Lin Qian had slain five Awakening Realm powerhouses from the Qin Dynasty that he finally stopped, turning towards the bald Wu Xuan.

“…” Wu Xuan swallowed hard, then slapped himself on the mouth violently, “This mouth of mine truly brings trouble!”
