The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 1408 - 1409: One Strike, Instant Kill

Sun Wukong’s furious aura soared into the sky, enveloping the heavens and earth, leaving the celestial army of the Immortal Court on the other side with nowhere to hide and nowhere to escape.

Nie Haojie, faced with the golden rod shadows that came crashing down like a deluge, could only brace himself to withstand them.

However...

Bam!

As the rod struck, the noise shook the heavens and the earth, unstoppable by any means.

Nie Haojie, chief among the four grand marshals of the Upper Origin Immortal Country, a Ninth Level Peak powerhouse.

In the instant the rod’s shadow descended, the soul energy surrounding him completely extinguished, his intent collapsed, and he exploded into a mist of blood, his soul dispersed into nothingness.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion emerged, the sturdy earth of the Immortal Realm was cracked by a single strike of the rod.

The formidable barrier array of Mountain Sea City in front, was directly shattered by this stroke, and the enormous, solid city walls collapsed into rubble, turning into a pile of stones.

The ten Immortal Court army commanders alongside him also fell victim to this disaster, vanishing with a single strike, no longer existing in this world.

As the dust settled, there remained in mid-air only Sun Wukong, his body ablaze with golden light, carrying the Ruyi Jingu Bang.

On the city walls of Mountain Sea City, the City Lord stood rigidly in place, not daring to move.

Beside him was the edge of the city walls that had vanished with a single strike, the earth below cracked open, deep and dark, like an abyss.

It could be said he was incredibly fortunate, as Sun Wukong’s strike had barely missed him, sparing his life.

At this moment, the City Lord of Mountain Sea City was trembling with fear, too scared to move.

What kind of joke is this, where did this monster of a bandit come from?

That was Nie Haojie, the top marshal of the Upper Origin Immortal Country, and he was obliterated just like that with a single rod strike?

On Sun Wukong’s side, he was alone, standing aloft, overlooking the celestial army of the Immortal Court ahead.

And in front of Mountain Sea City, the Immortal Court army dared not make a move, faced with such a world-class fiend, a word of disagreement, and they would be crushed instantly as their marshal was.

If they moved even slightly and alerted the other side, and another strike came down, they wouldn’t even have a place to cry.

The Emperor Battleship quickly appeared in front of Mountain Sea City. On the deck, Lin Qian stood with his hands behind his back, observing Sun Wukong floating in the air, noticing that his anger had gradually subsided.

However, his puppet body was also significantly damaged.

There was no other way, Sun Wukong, erupting in the wrath of the Great Saint, saw his combat power soar dramatically, causing immense damage to the puppet body.

This fury originated from the intent of heaven and earth, and didn’t come from the main body of Xuanhuan Star supporting the puppet body, so it wouldn’t impose a significant burden on Lin Qian’s body, rendering it unable to bear.

However, upon seeing the condition of Mountain Sea City, he almost laughed aloud.

It was clear to see just how infuriated Sun Wukong was, in such a state of rage.

Through other units of the Huaxia Empire, Lin Qian also learned the extent to which Sun Wukong was taunted, and upon knowing this, he couldn’t help but laugh.

"This Nie Haojie was truly courting death," Lin Qian chuckled and shook his head. His original order was for Sun Wukong to focus on repelling them without pushing them too hard.

He didn’t want a desperate struggle, for the Upper Origin Immortal Country to alert other Immortal Clan forces.

At least, if Nie Haojie hadn’t provoked Sun Wukong, he could have lived a few more days, but alas...

"Make it a quick fight!" Lin Qian thought to himself, gazing at Sun Wukong in the sky, transmitting his will.

He knew why Sun Wukong hadn’t moved after that strike.

Because that strike didn’t align with his orders, initially it was delivered with anger, and now that it had crushed Nie Haojie into oblivion, most of the anger had dissipated, leaving him momentarily unsure of what to do. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

In his mind, upon the appearance of Lin Qian’s command, Sun Wukong breathed a sigh of relief, revealing a cruel smile at the celestial army appearing all around.

Originally, the Immortal Court army hidden within the heavens and earth around had planned, as per Nie Haojie’s strategy, to converge and attack as Sun Wukong fell into their trap and entered their encirclement.

That strike exposed their positions; now they were cautious and dared not take any action.

Now, Sun Wukong heard Lin Qian’s command, and he raised his Ruyi Jingu Bang, charging towards the celestial army.

Despite the puppet body being somewhat damaged, it was more than enough to handle this celestial army easily.

On the Emperor Battleship, the monkey herd of Huaguo Mountain from Xuanhuan Star followed suit, flipping and somersaulting in Sun Wukong’s wake.

The celestial army, already terrified, had no time to react to the sudden onslaught of the monkey herd.

By the time they reacted, Sun Wukong was already upon them, smashing down fiercely with the rod.

Earlier, during the Great Saint’s wrath, Sun Wukong unleashed immense power; the puppet body had reached its limit and could no longer unleash power at will.

Otherwise, Sun Wukong believed Prime Minister Zhuge Ming would nag him to no end.

Sun Wukong, in the midst of the battlefield, served purely as an agent for rescue, ready to assist if any segment of his side found itself at a disadvantage.

The battlefield once again took on the standard state of massacre by the Huaxia Empire, a one-sided slaughter.

Lin Qian, hands folded behind him, personally witnessed Sun Wukong leading the monkey herd in a frenzy of slaughter against the Immortal Clan.

Regardless of how the Immortal Clan pleaded for mercy, it was all in vain.

Pests should be eliminated.

Although Lin Qian knew he couldn’t eradicate everyone with a single strike, at least from his observation, there was nothing in the Upper Origin Immortal Country’s Immortal Clan worth sparing.

Slay them, save the resources from being wasted.

The City Lord of Mountain Sea City had retained a bit of hope.

Hoping that after that fearsome individual’s strike, they had no more strength, and the remaining celestial army could fend off the attack.

Yet, the present situation mercilessly shattered his illusions.

Defeat had come like a landslide, the Upper Origin Immortal Country’s celestial army utterly unable to retaliate, retreating in defeat.

Never had he seen the Immortal Army of the Upper Origin Immortal Country slaughtered like this, akin to being savagely butchered.

Thud!

Immediately, the City Lord of Mountain Sea City fell to his knees on the city wall, hurriedly begging for mercy: "Spare me, spare me."

On the distant wall, seeing the City Lord of Mountain Sea City kneeling and begging for mercy caught Lin Qian’s attention. Golden imperial soul energy surged within him, forming a palm imprint that captured and brought the City Lord onto the deck before him.
