Chapter 114: The Battle at the Pinnacle! (2/3)

"Flee!"

Seeing the divine might of Qin Feng, Chen Yuzhou did not hesitate for a moment. With a flicker of his body, he fled toward the Datong Imperial Dynasty.

"Retreat!"

Empress Zhou Zheng was still hesitating, but upon seeing Chen Yuzhou flee, she also quickly retreated toward the Datong Imperial Dynasty.

The many generals and soldiers atop the majestic pass had initially possessed a shred of fighting spirit, but seeing two experts at the Human King realm flee, their will to fight vanished entirely. Abandoning the pass, they fled rapidly into the territory of the Datong Imperial Dynasty.

"I cannot let them escape."

"If they get away, they will surely seek ruthless revenge against me in the future."

"They must be killed!"

Seeing Chen Yuzhou and Empress Zhou Zheng fleeing, Qin Feng felt his internal energy surge. Exploding with great speed, he pursued them.

"So strong!"

Huang Tianlong’s eyes burned with fervor as he gazed worshipfully at Qin Feng’s silhouette. His Majesty, the Qin Emperor, possessed such overwhelming strength that he had frightened Human King realm martial artists into fleeing for their lives.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Qin Feng quickly caught up to Chen Yuzhou and Empress Zhou Zheng. With only two strikes, he killed them both, shattering their physical bodies into pieces.

"Huang Tianlong, collect the weapons from the pass."

After killing the two Human Kings, Qin Feng returned to the pass, surveyed his surroundings, and issued his command.

"As you command, Your Majesty."

Having witnessed Qin Feng’s supreme power, Huang Tianlong was completely convinced, speaking with awe and reverence. Any curiosity he previously held regarding why Qin Feng had been wounded had vanished entirely. He quickly set about gathering the weapons left behind on the pass.

"Divine Ability: Heavenly Fiend Weapon Devouring Art! Activate!"

Qin Feng channeled his energy into the divine sigil within his Dantian, activating the ability. The sigil emitted a mysterious light as it flew from his Dantian, hovering in the air and casting a radiance that enveloped the Halberd of Heavenly Might and the piles of weapons scattered around.

When Qin Feng had used the halberd to slay the three Human Kings—Li Nutao, Chen Yuzhou, and Empress Zhou Zheng—he had felt the weapon was not quite right, finding it too light. Seeing the vast amount of armor and weaponry scattered across the pass, he decided to cultivate here, absorbing the mass of discarded equipment.

"This..."

"What kind of technique is this?"

Huang Tianlong stood dumbfounded, the scene before him beyond comprehension. His loyalty to Qin Feng grew even deeper. When he saw the mountain-like piles of armor and weapons rapidly vanishing as they were consumed, he snapped out of his trance and began frantically gathering even more from across the pass.

...

Far away in the capital of the Great Chu Imperial Dynasty, the Chu Emperor had received the news from Chu Tianfa and immediately dispatched spies to infiltrate the Datong Imperial Dynasty to gather intelligence.

...

"Let's go!"

After two days of cultivation, Qin Feng had absorbed a massive amount of armor and blades, increasing the weight of his halberd to six hundred thousand catties. He ceased his training and surged toward the interior of the Datong Imperial Dynasty.

"Be careful!"

One day after Qin Feng had departed from the pass, Chu Tianfa, Zuo Taoming, and Lin Xiaozhong arrived. They approached the pass with extreme caution. Seeing that it was completely deserted, they dared not draw too close, observing from a distance for a long time before finally creeping forward.

"Is this really the majestic pass that the Datong Imperial Dynasty claimed could withstand a million-strong army?"

When the three stepped onto the pass, they were stunned to find it reduced to ruins.

"Could it be the Qin Emperor?"

"It must have been the Qin Emperor!"

The three were struck with immense shock. The strength of the Qin Emperor far exceeded their imaginations, and their reverence for him deepened further.

"Boom!"

As Qin Feng advanced toward the capital of the Datong Imperial Dynasty, he pushed through everything in his path. Whether it was a fortified pass or a Human King realm expert, he crushed them all. No one could stand against him, and no one could halt his progress.

Ultimately, the ruler of the Datong Imperial Dynasty, the Human Emperor realm expert Chuan Yunhao, ordered the entire nation not to resist Qin Feng. He wanted Qin Feng to reach the capital so he could slay him with his own hands. Having broken through to the Human Emperor realm many years ago, he believed that even if Qin Feng had reached the same level, he would be no match for him.

...

"Shen Youzhong of the White Moon Sect pays respects to Your Majesty. Long live, long live, long ten thousand years!"

"Fan Lilong of the Blood Flame Sect pays respects to Your Majesty. Long live, long live, long ten thousand years!"

"Leng Wu of the Profound Ice Sect pays respects to Your Majesty. Long live, long live, long ten thousand years!"

The three major sects within the Datong Imperial Dynasty had sent representatives to the capital to pledge their support. If Chuan Yunhao gave the command, their sects were willing to serve as the vanguard in the conquest of the Great Chu Imperial Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the Great Chu Imperial Dynasty is simply courting death by daring to provoke you," Shen Youzhong said, bowing respectfully.

"Qin Feng achieved the Human Emperor realm, yet instead of finding a place to hide, he dares to provoke you. He is truly seeking his own demise," Fan Lilong added.

"There are always those in this world who overestimate themselves," Chuan Yunhao said, his brow filled with thick confidence. He was certain of his own power and held Qin Feng in no regard. "A mere Human Emperor who has just broken through dares to strike at me? He is courting death. He shall be the first Human Emperor to fall by my hand!"

"Let's go!" Chuan Yunhao commanded. "I expect Qin Feng will be arriving at the capital shortly."

The civil and military officials, along with the martial artists of the three sects, quickly marched out of the city.

"Step!"

As he neared the capital, Qin Feng ordered Huang Tianlong to hide. Grasping his halberd, he strode toward the capital gates.

"I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Chuan Yunhao had waited outside the capital for two hours. Feeling a powerful momentum approaching, he opened his eyes, fixed his gaze on Qin Feng, and spoke aloud.

"He is even younger than the rumors suggested."

"A prodigy. An unimaginable prodigy."

"The greatest prodigy of all time."

Many of the martial artists had heard rumors of Qin Feng’s youth, but seeing him in person, they were struck with disbelief.

"You were injured even when facing Human King martial artists; you are far from being my match," Chuan Yunhao said, surveying Qin Feng and shaking his head slightly as he noticed the wounds on his body.

"Perhaps," Qin Feng replied, his eyes locked onto Chuan Yunhao. This was a Human Emperor realm expert; he had to be two hundred percent cautious. He could not afford the slightest carelessness. He had to kill Chuan Yunhao, or else Chuan Yunhao would kill him—and his family and kin would all be slaughtered.

"Die!"

Qin Feng let out a low shout. Channeling his internal energy to its limit, he launched the first strike, charging toward Chuan Yunhao.

"Boom!"

Chuan Yunhao kicked the dragon table in front of him toward Qin Feng. Crafted from extraordinary materials and reinforced with Chuan Yunhao’s power, it erupted with terrifying lethality, capable of easily obliterating any Human King realm martial artist.
