Chapter 197: Sword Light.
Edited by: Mochiusagi
Su Qin was sitting cross-legged and was wearing a smile on his face.
During this period of time, Su Qin had not only stabilized his newly formed Mini Domain, but also experimented with its various functions.
Since it was something that needed one to be at least at the 7th Heavenly Layer to use, naturally, it wasn’t just for suppressing and killing the enemy.
At least, when Su Qin was pondering about the Mini Domain, he discovered that it had various effects such as protection, concealment, and it can even save people!
Apart from this, Su Qin also discovered that if he wants to, he can increase its scope by more than just a hundred zhang.
Basically, the hundred zhang was just the area that was under Su Qin’s complete control.
Within this hundred zhang, Su Qin was God, he was omnipotent.
As the scope of the Domain exceeds this hundred zhang, Su Qin’s control would begin to decline.
To put it simply, if a 7th Heavenly Layer Legend falls within a hundred zhang in Su Qin’s Domain, the former wouldn’t be able to borrow even a trace of power and will simply be slaughtered by Su Qin. It was not even possible to escape.
But if Su Qin spreads his Domain to thousands zhang or ten thousand zhang, if a 7th Heavenly Layer Legend falls into it, although he will still be greatly suppressed, he will not be without resistance.
At least, he would be able to get in a few struggles.
“In addition to continuing to Cultivating, I must continue compressing World’s Essence Qi to supplement the Mini Domain and make it cover a larger area.”
Su Qin planned in his heart.
At his height, although the road ahead was not clear, he still knew where to go.
Of course, for the overwhelming majority of Legends, knowing where to get there and whether or not they can get there were completely different things.
For example, a Grade 9 Official of the Tang Empire knows that he only needs to work hard and be loyal to the Tang Empire to become a Grade 3 Senior Official in the Court in the future.
However, there were thousands of Grade 9 Officials in the Tang Empire, and how many of them can climb to the position of a Grade 3 Senior Official?
The Martial Dao, especially the road to the Legend Realm, was extremely difficult.
Knowing but it might not be possible to achieve.
You can see what’s in the front, but you were unable to take the step forward.
“I’ll stay in seclusion for another two months.”
Su Qin was going to familiarize himself with the strength of Domain again, he was not in a hurry to go out.
Anyway, there’s Ruan Qing, who was a 3rd Heavenly Layer Legend. Generally speaking, Chang’an City will have no problems. Su Qin just merrily continued his secluded Cultivation.
…
…
While Su Qin was in seclusion, Emperor Li Sheng was at the Primal Chaos Palace, discussing the state affairs with the Officials.
Suddenly, an Imperial Soldier hastily rushed in. He immediately walked to Emperor Li Sheng’s side and whispered something.
“What?!”
Emperor Li Sheng’s complexion greatly changed.
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Li Sheng ignored the ongoing discussion, then quickly walked out of Primal Chaos Palace and came to the Imperial City.
“Is that them?”
Emperor Li Sheng’s expression was extremely ugly.
He saw six faintly discernible figures above the sky. These six figures looked like aloof existences that overlook the sentient beings beneath them – the entire Chang’an City and Emperor Li Sheng.
“Who are they?”
Emperor Li Sheng took a deep breath and asked in a low voice.
“Your Majesty, this General does not know.” The Commander of the Imperial Army, standing next to Emperor Li Sheng, also wore a grave expression. After being silent for a while, he whispered: “However, these people should all be Legends.”
Only Legends were able to fly!
Hence, even though the Commander hadn’t seen the six figures before, it was clear to him that the opponents were at least at the Legend Realm.
Upon hearing the Commander’s words, Emperor Li Sheng’s face suddenly turned pale.
The appearance of one Legend can already shock the world, but now there were six of them outside Chang’an City!
How could Emperor Li Sheng stay calm?
“Your Majesty, the one on the far left should be the Patriarch of the Blood Kill Gate.” The Commander seemed to have discovered something and quickly whispered.
Emperor Li Sheng immediately focused his gaze on the left side. Sure enough, he saw a figure wearing a blood-colored robe that was also standing in the void.
“Alas, this is really terrible!”
Emperor Li Sheng felt cold.
If the Patriarch of the Blood Kill Gate wasn’t there, Emperor Li Sheng would’ve thought that it was just a coincidence and that these six Legends were just passing by.
But now…
Emperor Li Sheng just felt like falling into the abyss.
“Your Majesty.”
“What shall we do now?”
The Commander asked in a low voice.
“Wait!”
Emperor Li Sheng felt a sense of powerlessness, “Let’s wait and see what they want to do.”
What else can they do besides waiting?
An ordinary army would stand no chance against the six Legends in the sky.
Although there were a lot of bows and crossbows stocked in Chang’an City, who would dare to use such puny items against Legends?
On the contrary, once it was used, it would be equivalent to slapping the face of the six Legends. By that time, if the opponents decided to start a slaughter, who could stop them?
One Legend can ignore a million troops, not to mention there’s six!
At this moment, above the sky.
The disciples from the Major Sects overseas felt bored looking at Chang’an City below.
“There is the aura of a 3rd Heavenly Layer Legend. It must be the Legend of Chang’an City.” The swordsman in an azure robed indifferently said.
“3rd Heavenly Layer?”
“That’s commendable.”
The Taoist priest slightly nodded.
Being able to step into the Legend Realm on this barren continent was already an achievement, not to mention reaching the 3rd Heavenly Layer! Whether it be the aptitude or temperament of the person, it should be good.
“It’s a pity that he’s a Legend. The foundation has been set! It’s now impossible to change his mind and surrender.” A cold man wearing a black robe said.
“Okay, so what should we do now? Just kill?” The rough man asked.
“Kill?”
Bing Ling’s beautiful eyes flashed. She thought for a while, before saying: “Let’s give them a choice first, if they really refuse, it will not be too late to kill them by then.”
Bing Ling was the Goddess of the Major Sect Snow God Palace. If there was no accident, she will definitely become the Leader of the Snow God Palace in the future, and would become the highest-ranking person in the Sect.
“In that case.”
“Let’s go down and say it.”
The cold man in black robe swept his gaze and looked at the Patriarch of Blood Kill Gate in the corner.
In terms of status and identity, the Patriarch of the Blood Kill Gate was not on the same level as them.
Whether it was the cold man in black robe, or anyone else here, they were all Heaven’s Chosen Child from their Sects.
As for the Patriarch of Blood Kill Gate, he was just a Rogue Cultivator. Although he was at the 3rd Heavenly Layer, it was nothing in their eyes.
If they didn’t need someone to lead the way, they wouldn’t have brought the Patriarch of Blood Kill Gate with them.
“Yes.”
The Patriarch of Blood Kill Gate got the signal from the cold man in the black robe and respectfully replied.
The Patriarch of Blood Kill Gate took one step forward and appeared on the city wall.
“The Lords have given the Tang Empire two choices.” The Patriarch of Blood Kill Gate glanced at Emperor Li Sheng and the others, then indifferently said: “First, surrender directly; the easy way, or second, surrender after being suppressed; the hard way! You have an hour to think about it and give your reply.”
The Patriarch of Blood Kill Gate didn’t even take another look at Emperor Li Sheng, he just turned and left.
“Surrender the easy way?”
“The hard way?”
Emperor Li Sheng’s face was green and his body was shaking with anger.
“Your Majesty…” The Commander also wore a heavy expression.
The Patriarch of Blood Kill Gate was not giving them a choice at all! In this case, they better just surrender immediately.
“Has Third Brother appeared?”
Emperor Li Sheng took a deep breath and asked in a low voice.
“Your Majesty, we haven’t found Third Uncle yet.” The Commander shook his head.
Emperor Li Sheng’s face paled again.
“Could it be that the Heavens want the destruction of the Tang Empire?” Emperor Li Sheng’s expression looked miserable.
At this moment, above the sky.
The azure robed swordsman frowned: “One hour is up, did the Tang Empire reply?”
“My Lord, no.” The Patriarch of Blood Kill Gate bowed.
“In that case, just start the suppression.” The black robed cold man said.
“Hmph!”
“We have already given you an hour to pick the right choice, but instead you just wasted one hour.” The rough man coldly snorted. He stepped forward and viciously stomped his foot.
Suddenly, the World’s Essence Qi trembled and began to press down towards the Chang’an City.
Just then, another wave of World’s Essence Qi emerged and blocked the blow of the rough man.
They then saw Ruan Qing slowly walking out of the East Palace and onto the city wall – looking at the Legends above.
“Mr. Ruan.”
Emperor Li Sheng relaxed slightly.
“Your Majesty, I can only do my best. Whether I can stop then or not is up to fate…” Ruan Qing looked tragic.
In Ruan Qing’s eyes, these Major Sect dísciples have been cultivated by their respective Sects since childhood. Whether it be their Cultivation Techniques, Secret Techniques or even their foundations, all were far superior to a Rogue Cultivator like Ruan Qing.
“Let me have a try.”
“It’s been a long time since I exercised my muscles.”
The Taoist priest said as he took a step forward.
When Ruan Qing saw this, he flew into the air and began fighting with the Taoist priest.
However, the result was just as Ruan Qing expected. He was not the Taoist’s opponent at all. He was suppressed after only ten strikes. After 20 strikes, Ruan Qing forcibly vomited a mouthful of blood and was slapped flying.
Ruan Qing only ended up in this state because the Taoist held back and did not intend to kill him, otherwise Ruan Qing would’ve ended up with a serious injury.
“Hahahaha.”
“Just admit surrender and suffer less, why struggle?”
The rough man said with a sneer as he looked down at Emperor Li Sheng and the others.
Emperor Li Sheng’s face was gray. He could only hold both of his hands tightly, and not dare to refute the man.
That’s because he knew that the lives of the hundreds of people in Chang’an City at this moment depended on the rough man.
“Hmph!”
The rough man sneered and probed the Imperial Palace by spreading his Divine Sense.
“Huh?”
At this moment, the rough man was surprised by something. His Divine Sense instantly concentrated on someone.
“A Clear Meridian Physique! She is a genius! Now, come back with me obediently.”
The rough man stretched out his right hand. He gathered a huge amount of World’s Essence Qi in his palm and made a grabbing gesture somewhere towards the Imperial Palace.
“Not good, it’s Wan’er.” Emperor Li Sheng was startled, and immediately realized that the place where the rough man’s right hand was grasping, was the residence of Imperial Princess Li Wan.
“What is this?”
Li Wan was Cultivating, when she suddenly saw a huge palm coming towards her.
“Not good!”
Li Wan realized that she was in danger and wanted to avoid it.
However, Li Wan was just at the 9 Grades Middle Realm, how could she escape from the hands of a Legend?
Li Wan’s pretty face was full of despair. However, when the rough man’s huge palm that was intending to grab Li Wan got close to her body, it was suddenly blocked by a faint barrier.
“Huh?”
“There is another Legend?”
The rough man immediately recognized the barrier on Li Wan’s body as a means left by a Legend.
“But so what?”
The rough man had a stubborn expression and was about to break through the barrier.
Meanwhile, under Chang’an City.
In the Underground Palace.
Su Qin’s eyes silently opened.
“The Divine Sense I left on Li Wan was touched?”
Su Qin looked up at the sky, and his huge Divine Sense swept across the area in a flash.
“You are courting death!”
Su Qin’s eyes only flashed calmness. He stretched out his right hand. A strange long sword that was shaped like a sickle and curved like the crescent moon suddenly appeared.
The long sword was pitch-black, as if it was painted by ink, the sword’s surface looked extremely deep like a black hole that could swallow all living beings.
As Su Qin grabbed a hold of the Demon God’s Blade, he lightly swung it and sent a slash.
[Tear~]!
The sharpness of this blade was simply indescribable!
Above the Heavens, under the Earth, and everything in between suddenly turned into a pitch black ocean. A long and narrow black gap suddenly appeared in the void, with a black sword light suddenly appearing. The black sword light seemed to have the power to cut the world and all that within it was like cutting through butter.
