Chapter 683: Sword Slays the Qin Emperor
🕑 Added 2024-12-04 09:08:42 +0000 UTCThe sudden appearance of the figure in white robes stunned everyone present. The reason was simple—when he appeared, it was without a sound, and no one could tell when he had arrived or from where.
A strange atmosphere spread all around, but what was even more shocking was the words of this handsome man in white robes.
Disciple?
At this moment, everyone surrounding Tongzi Xuan had their pupils contract as they all turned their gazes to the figure in white, shock evident in their eyes.
"Could this be the master that the island lord spoke of?" Staring at the figure in white robes, everyone was astonished, curiously sizing him up, trying to discern his origin.
However, the handsome man in white exuded no aura, making it impossible to gauge his strength or cultivation.
Yet, no one present dared to underestimate the man before them. Anyone who could conceal their aura so thoroughly surely possessed a cultivation of unfathomable depth. Otherwise, how could such an enigmatic situation arise?
Among all these people, the most emotionally stirred was Tongzi Xuan. The others might not recognize the handsome man in white robes, but he could never forget the person who had once saved his life and gifted him a cultivation technique.
"If we meet again and you have met my expectations, I will accept you as my disciple."
That promise from years ago, given by this man in white, was still fresh in Tongzi Xuan's memory, something he could never forget.
Over the years, Tongzi Xuan had been strict with himself, diligently cultivating and never straying from his original purpose, all in hopes that when they met again, he wouldn’t disappoint his master and could finally be accepted as his disciple.
And now, Tongzi Xuan realized his wish had come true. When the man had spoken earlier, he had clearly called him "disciple," which meant he had acknowledged Tongzi Xuan as his pupil.
However, there was one thing Tongzi Xuan had miscalculated—he thought he was the only one who knew the identity of this handsome man in white robes. But in fact, two others present also recognized him. More precisely, everyone here knew who he was.
“Lin Qian, how could you be here!” Qin Lingtian screamed in terror as he saw the figure, his face undergoing a drastic change.
The moment he screamed, Qin Lingtian didn’t hesitate for even a second. He turned and fled, his expression full of panic, wishing he could vanish from this world immediately.
Not only Qin Lingtian, but even Qin Batian beside him was stricken with terror. As if seeing a ghost, he quickly turned around, pouring all his soul power into his escape, frantically flying away.
How could the two of them not recognize the one responsible for the destruction of their dynasty? They had once gone into hiding, waiting for the right moment to seek revenge and reclaim everything they had lost.
However, as the reputation of the Hua Xia Empire continued to grow, they gradually lost hope. When Lin Qian's fame reached its peak, they knew that revenge was impossible.
Let alone others—Lin Qian’s grandfather, Yun Monarch, and his grandmother, the Ice Lady, were already figures they couldn’t contend with, not to mention the Yuan family, who had even declared their allegiance to the Hua Xia Empire.
With such power backing Lin Qian, there was no way the father and son duo could ever shake him.
Seeing Lin Qian now made cold sweat run down their bodies. And when they heard his words, realizing that the master Tongzi Xuan referred to was none other than the Ren Emperor of the Hua Xia Empire, the two were scared out of their wits. If they didn’t flee now, when would they?
The actions of Qin Lingtian and Qin Batian left everyone present utterly dumbfounded.
Originally, this father and son duo had always appeared majestic and powerful in their eyes, with strength that was not to be underestimated. They had always been high and mighty, filled with pride.
How could anyone have expected to see them flee in such a panic, making the situation seem almost unreal?
“Did I say you could leave?” Just as Qin Lingtian and Qin Batian had begun to flee, Lin Qian’s voice echoed in the sky.
The next moment, a domineering imperial aura descended upon Ren Island. Qin Lingtian and Qin Batian, who had been flying at full speed, were instantly forced to the ground, crashing with a thud.
It felt as if these once lofty figures had suddenly fallen to earth.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, four burly soldiers had already restrained Qin Lingtian and Qin Batian, bringing them before Lin Qian.
Under the oppressive weight of Lin Qian’s imperial aura, not only were Qin Lingtian and Qin Batian completely immobilized, but even Liu Chuan and the other people from Qing Island were forced down from the sky, unable to resist the overwhelming pressure. They knelt on the ground before Lin Qian, their bodies trembling under the crushing weight.
At the same time, the soul warriors of Ren Island, who had been engaged in a life-and-death battle with those from Qing Island, were shocked to see their once formidable enemies suddenly kneel before them, their bodies shaking as if bearing an enormous burden.
None of them had expected that the renowned Ren Emperor of the Hua Xia Empire had arrived on Ren Island and that it was his presence suppressing the Qing Island warriors.
Though Qin Lingtian and Qin Batian were indeed powerful, they were no match for Lin Qian.
Under Lin Qian’s imperial aura, it felt as though chains had bound their entire bodies, leaving them unable to move.
Upon arriving on Ren Island, Lin Qian had already summoned the imperial army to begin clearing out the area. He had sensed the overwhelming evil energy emanating from the Qing Island soul warriors, knowing that they had committed many atrocities and were all deserving of death.
As for the soul warriors of Ren Island, they were his disciple’s subordinates, and naturally, he would protect them.
Thus, the soul warriors of Ren Island watched in shock as the Qing Island warriors knelt before them, only to be swiftly executed by fully armed imperial soldiers emerging from the nearby forest.
Everyone on Ren Island was dazed by what was happening, unable to fully process the situation.
"It’s been a long time, hasn’t it, two former emperors of the Qin Dynasty?" Lin Qian approached Qin Lingtian and Qin Batian, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Why did you run so fast? Did you think you could actually escape?"
Qin Lingtian took a deep breath and shouted at Lin Qian, "Lin Qian! If you’re really a man, kill me now! What’s the point of humiliating me?"
Whoosh!
A flash of sword light gleamed as a blade formed from Lin Qian’s Bai Lan Ice Soul Power sliced through the air, severing Qin Lingtian’s head. The chilling force instantly froze his blood, preventing even a single drop from splattering.
“You’re right. I have no intention of humiliating you,” Lin Qian said, stepping forward to stand in front of Qin Batian. He looked at the old man and sneered, “Men like you, rulers who treat their people like livestock, do you think you even deserve to be humiliated?”
As his words fell, Qin Batian’s head was swiftly severed as well, leaving behind a long, eerie silence.
Tongzi Xuan, witnessing this scene, trembled with excitement.
