The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 315 - 316: Appearance of the Imperial Army (2nd Update)

Roar!

The dragon’s roar pierced the sky, and within Lin Qian, the Minghuang Emperor’s Soul Power transformed into nine dragons, swirling around his body momentarily before finally converging into a golden substance of imperial volition behind him.

Nine Dragons Throne!

Lin Qian took a step back and firmly seated himself upon the Nine Dragons Throne, with the Minghuang Emperor’s Soul Power burning and coalescing into an imperial robe of volition. The throne carrying him slowly ascended till it stopped, hovering slightly above Bai Ximing and Wuzhan Shuang.

For an Emperor, how could one ever submit to being beneath others?

At the same time, the Minghuang Emperor’s Soul Power emanating from Lin Qian’s body resonated with the completed Huaxia World Array, an obscure connection forming between them.

Witnessing the aura emanating from Lin Qian and seeing those ascending pillars of Yellow Dragon light, how could Bai Ximing and Wuzhan Shuang not realize that they had been toyed with by the very person before them?

Had the two, in their initial fury, not seen Lin Qian’s arrogance as he claimed to welcome all comers, how could they not satisfy such a foolish request?

Since he invited them to come, the more the merrier, thought Bai Ximing and Wuzhan Shuang as they rounded up all the clanspeople from the other cities, wanting to witness the terror-stricken expression on Lin Qian’s face.

Yet, in the blink of an eye, the entirety of the third dimension became his domain!

“How could this be?” Bai Ximing was completely bewildered. When the Swift Hidden Clan and the Invisible Clan had taken control of the battleground plains, they had meticulously deciphered each Array, not constructing new cities and arranging their Arrays until the previous ones had been entirely broken.

The process had taken over a century to complete.

But now, from the massing of clanspeople to their arrival at City Number Two, it had taken merely an hour in total.

How on earth had Lin Qian managed in such a short span of time to take control of all the cities and then seize the third dimension’s battleground plains for himself?

Lin Qian, sitting high upon the Nine Dragons Throne, looked down at Bai Ximing with an iron blue complexion and Wuzhan Shuang, whose expression was unreadable, propped his head up with one hand and smiled, “Just a heads up, if you’re thinking of surrendering now, I’m not accepting it.”

Hearing his own words echo from Lin Qian’s mouth, Bai Ximing’s face turned nearly dark enough to drip with gloom, his voice rough with Soul Power, “Even if you’ve somehow taken over all the cities unguarded by my people, how will you deal with my sixty million warriors, and the eighty million Soul Beasts’ assault?”

“Once we capture you alive and pry the marvelous secrets of city control from your lips, that too would be a fine catch!” Wuzhan Shuang also spoke up, flexing his shoulders.

As Bai Ximing and Wuzhan Shuang spoke, the massive crowd of different clans surrounding City Number Two grew restless, waves of Soul Power emerged one after another, their gaze towards City Number Two filled with murderous intent.

Controlled by the Invisible Clan, the Soul Beasts’ eyes also once more revealed a blood-red hue, their aura wildly raging. It was believed that if the Invisible Clan released their hold, these beasts would swarm forth and relentlessly strike the Array barrier of City Number Two.

From the viewpoint of Bai Ximing and Wuzhan Shuang, City Number Two was occupied only by Lin Qian and an eerie old man with an ethereal form by his side; as for the figures busily altering the dwellings and structures below, mere craftsmen—who could offer any resistance?

“I really want to see if you can remain so unflappable when it comes down to it!” Bai Ximing pointed at Lin Qian, yelling out in rage.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Just as Bai Ximing stretched out his hand and was about to chide, on the wall of City Number Two in front of him, suddenly multiple gaps appeared where dull metallic tubes popped out, hitting the bricks on the edge of the gaps with a loud crashing sound.

Not only on the side of the wall Bai Ximing saw, but also from the point of view of the sixty million from the two attacking clans, who presented a four-sided siege, they likewise saw such gaps suddenly appearing on the wall facing them.

“Boom!” Lin Qian, facing the bewildered Bai Ximing and Wuzhan Shuang, revealed a smile and mimicked the sound.

The next moment, the cannon’s barrel turned into a blinding yellow as the temperature surged, and a searing beam of Soul Power shot out from within, heading towards the crowd of the other clan.

Bai Ximing and Wuzhan Shuang both constricted their pupils, watching the Soul Power cannons hurling towards them as Soul Power erupted from within their bodies.

Like being amidst a cyan breeze, Bai Ximing managed to avoid the incoming Soul Power cannon, which was about to penetrate him, with agile movements.

The scorching Soul Power cannon merely grazed past him and rushed towards the area behind where he originally stood.

Wuzhan Shuang’s body was shrouded in dark Soul Power that gathered on his arms. The short blades in his hands, in contrast to his robust Blue Stone Clan body, seemed like children’s toys. Yet, he wielded them with rapid dexterity.

His short blades created a series of dark crescents, trying to intercept the red Soul Power cannon, which instead emitted black smoke as it burned them.

Knowing that direct confrontation wasn’t wise, Wuzhan Shuang hurriedly dodged to the side, and the dark crescents he had formed also dissipated with a bang, slashing towards the crowd of his clan members behind him.

Neither Bai Ximing nor Wuzhan Shuang had the capacity to react in time to stop the Soul Power cannons shooting towards their people.

“Everyone, evade! Don’t resist!” Bai Ximing’s shout echoed under this sky; the Swift Hidden Clan and Invisible Clan, upon hearing it, instinctively dodged to the side.

However, with the sudden attack and the speed of the Soul Power cannon too fast, other members of the Swift Hidden Clan and the Invisible Clan weren’t as capable as Bai Ximing and Wuzhan Shuang; they didn’t have enough strength.

Many of the other clan members couldn’t evade in time and were directly penetrated by the Soul Power cannon, either killed or critically injured and losing their combat ability, as they plummeted down from midair.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Soul Power cannons that entered the crowds exploded one after another, shaking the entire City Number Two with thunderous roars.

Smoke billowed up, thick like dust, enveloping the vast troops of the other clans and blinding them to what exactly was happening before their eyes.

How could Bai Ximing tolerate such a situation? He quickly instructed everyone to stir up their Soul Power to disperse the surrounding dust and smoke.

As visibility gradually returned, Bai Ximing beheld the disarray of the entire troop; although only over a hundred thousand had been lost, compared to the more than sixty million total, this was a mere trifle.

But this was only the first exchange, and they hadn’t even taken action yet, but had already suffered losses!

“Shameful!” Bai Ximing’s chest heaved uncontrollably; he turned his head towards Lin Qian, but when he saw the scene in front of him clearly, his expression froze.

It wasn’t just him; Wuzhan Shuang too, after seeing everything before him, displayed a look of astonishment on his face and seemed somewhat unable to believe it.
