Chapter 929: Tyrannical Sweep
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Hua Taixu’s samsara eyes instantly caused two of their opponents to sink into an illusion-scape. The two opponents swiftly tried to focus their thoughts and guard their minds with their powerful wills, attempting to break free. Yet Qin Wentian’s God’s Hand immediately slammed into one of them. The terrifying God’s Hand exuded a tyrannical strength, directly blasting the poor guy through the air.
As for the other one, he’d explosively retreated, and the other geniuses present moved to provide him with reinforcements. However, Qing`er waved a hand from where she stood, manifesting a wall of space to separate them completely.
"BREAK IT!" Greedwolf roared in rage, and the geniuses from the Xiao Sect simultaneously launched their attacks to break apart the wall of space. A terrifying spatial energy fluctuation surrounded Qing`er and as she stretched her hand out, the Immortal Slaying Diagram appeared. It expanded at a rapid pace, shooting forward and neutralizing all their attacks.
Qin Wentian’s God’s Hand blasted towards the other target. The opponent found himself facing a Star-Seizing Palm Imprint powered by the God’s Hand, and he had no way of defending himself from its onslaught. At the instant the palm imprint blasted out, the pressure generated was already so overwhelming that the poor guy was left completely suppressed. And with a thunderous boom, he was ruthlessly slammed onto the ground, fainting into unconsciousness.
"How tyrannical. Even Tu Teng, a ranker on the Immortal Ascension Rankings, couldn’t stand up to a single strike. I’m sure these geniuses are the same as well." From afar, the spectators could see how Qin Wentian’s group had instantly wiped out two of their opponents and couldn’t help but tremble in their hearts. Qin Wentian was the main attacker, aided by Princess Qing`er and her control in spatial energy. These two, who were already supremely powerful in their own right, were even more of a nightmare when they joined forces.
Hua Taixu took the lead, influencing everyone with his terrifying illusions as his constellation was unleashed to its limits. His samsara eyes seemed omnipresent—their opponents could feel themselves sinking into an illusion-scape, and each time they managed to break out, they felt themselves entering a brand new illusion all over again.
-RUMBLE- Qin Wentian’s body expanded once more, growing to a hundred meters in size. Stepping out, his God’s Hand blasted forth as an incomparably huge, golden-violet ancient bell fell down from the sky. The bell resonated with a vast, calamitous might, spreading out ruthlessly in all eight directions, causing the wills and souls of their opponents to tremble.
-Bang- Another palm imprint smashed down as an expert was knocked flying away. He wasn’t capable of resisting the attack at all. Qin Wentian was like an ancient war divinity, standing tall at the center of heaven and earth.
In addition, he could attack without a care. All the energy launched from his attacks would instantly be relocated by Qing`er, and combining that with Hua Taixu’s illusion arts, they basically swept over everything unchallenged. In front of them, the geniuses from the Xiao Branch were nothing but weaklings, and although they were also disciples and descendants of immortal kings and emperors, they were nothing but an existence akin to ants in that moment.
Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan were the ones cleaning up after them. After Qin Wentian injured a target, they would immediately follow up with their own attacks, intensifying the degree of injuries their opponents sustained, and directly causing them to lose all strength for combat. At the same time, both Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan would conveniently take away the interspatial rings of these Xiao Branch’s geniuses, completing the deed without a trace of politeness.
In a short amount of time, over ten geniuses had been defeated. At the sight of this, the spectators couldn’t help but feel their hearts quake with fear.
Greedwolf watched as his companions fell, one after another, his expression turning grim. His eyes flickered with a destructive coldness as he unleashed his constellation to the limits. In the air, an incomparably cold Hell-Sky Wolf appeared. Its body was covered with the flames of hell as its eyes flickered with a terrifying blood-colored light. The Hell-Sky Wolf turned gigantic and looked more fearsome than Qin Wentian’s own giant physique.
"KILL!" Greedwolf roared. The Hell-Sky Wolf spat out balls of hellfire, burning everything in its path as it lunged towards Qin Wentian. The spatial energy around Qing`er intensified as an incomparably resplendent golden screen of light appeared, blocking out the Hell-Sky Wolf as it tried to suck it into the void.
"ROAR!" A heaven-shaking roar sounded out. Greedwolf stood in the air, merging with his constellation. He punched out with both fists, aiming for the golden light screen—a horrendous rumble sounded out and the golden light screen shattered into pieces. As #12 on the Immortal Ascension Rankings, Greedwolf was also a very powerful individual.
The other experts saw that Greedwolf was going all out in his attacks, rousing their fighting spirits. They must definitely not allow Qin Wentian and his companions to seize the initiative.
"Qing`er, ignore defense. Let’s attack together," said Qin Wentian. More rumbling echoed as he grew even larger, reaching eight hundred meters in height.
Qing`er retracted the energy she’d used to defend. Qin Wentian blasted out a humongous palm imprint that blotted out the skies, capable of destroying everything. At the same time, his gigantic body moved forward and directed a palm attack towards Greedwolf, who stood in the sky. Qing`er’s silhouette flickered, vanishing from sight, teleporting right in front of a genius from the Xiao Sect.
Upon seeing Qing`er appear before him, the genius began madly attacking. However, he only saw a mysterious spatial energy enveloping Qing`er as she effortlessly avoided his attacks, before throwing out a single punch that ripped everything into pieces. With an explosive bang, that genius’s defenses collapsed, his blood spraying out. He basically had no way to defend against Qing`er’s strength.
Qin Wentian showed the God’s Hand directly at Greedwolf. His palm caused numerous wind rocs to manifest, shooting straight at the Hell-Sky Wolf.
"I’m #12 on the Immortal Ascension Rankings, and with the Hell-Sky Wolf to protect me, how could I lose to an eighth-level ascendent like him?" Greedwolf’s countenance was ice-cold. He stepped forth as the Hell-Sky Wolf roared its hunger at the sky. Greedwolf then punched out with his fist, causing the Hell-Sky Wolf to manifest many more incarnations of itself, all rushing towards Qin Wentian to rip him to shreds. It was unknown how merciless this attack would be.
Qin Wentian’s palms shimmered with a bloody demonic light as he activated his third level immortal battle art. His God’s Hand blasted out another suppressive star-seizing palm strike, the resulting omnipotent pressure bearing down on everything nearby. Traces of law energy could be sensed in the runic glow of the God’s Hand, crushing the Hell-Sky Wolves one-by-one.
The entire area shuddered from the impact. Qin Wentian’s palm techniques had already undergone refinement through his comprehension of the Ten Thousand Law Records. It had been incomparably tyrannical right from the start, but now it had been amplified by the third level battle arts and the God’s Hand—one could very well imagine how fearsome his attacks had become. With just a strike, it felt like the heavens would collapse around them.
-BOOM- A formidably suppressive might slammed into Greedwolf, causing him to groan with misery. A moment later, he was blasted through the air, unable to endure the power of Qin Wentian’s attack.
Qin Wentian swiped out—manifesting a great roc’s gigantic talons—and seized Greedwolf. He then mercilessly smashed Greedwolf again and again into the ground, causing a huge crater to form, and then unceremoniously tossed Greedwolf into it.
While Qin Wentian was defeating Greedwolf, Qing`er was finishing up her battle with two other geniuses. Although Qin Wentian told her to attack and to stop defending him, she would occasionally still flit back to Qin Wentian’s side, blocking the other geniuses from attacking him. After all, given Qin Wentian’s current giant state, he was an easy target.
After suppressing Greedwolf, Qin Wentian’s body returned to its normal size. A golden pair of roc wings appeared behind his back as he flickered, and rushed towards another genius.
"RETREAT!" That person howled. Regardless of who their opponents were, be it Qing`er or Qin Wentian, they had completely no way to fight back. With their staggering strength, they could easily crush them all. One cannot overturn the outcome of such a fight with mere numbers.
-RUMBLE- Golden figures of suppression manifested, descending from the sky, generating pressure that completely overpowered everything within the area. A golden spear materialized from the God’s Hand and immediately hurled at their opponents. The spear didn’t pierce through their skin directly, but the surrounding force of the throw tunneled through their bodies, fracturing bones and injuring their internal organs, effectively immobilizing them from further combat.
"RUN!" The other geniuses immediately retreated with explosive speed; there was no need to continue this battle. Qin Wentian was ruthless in his attacks, and although he didn’t act to kill, those who fought him ended up with heavy injuries. And with Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan cleaning up, all the geniuses from the Xiao Branch were in extremely miserable straits.
Qing`er stared at Qin Wentian, and heard him say, "Let them leave."
"A complete victory."
The spectators watching from afar felt their hearts trembling. Qin Wentian was currently ranked #100 in the Immortal Ascension Rankings. After this battle, his ranking would surely advance. By activating the God’s Hand, he had easily defeated Greedwolf. The only question was whether he could disintegrate and reassemble the God’s Hand at will.
If he could, that would become a unique strength that belonged completely to him. And Qin Wentian’s ranking had a possibility of being within the top ten.
"Although the Qin Sect only has five people, they have monstrous potential. With just Princess Qing`er and Qin Wentian at the helm, this would already be an extremely terrifying power. Hua Taixu and the other two show great promise too. If they break through to the ninth-level of Celestial Phenomenon, they’ll only grow even more terrifying than they are now.
"Senior Brother, how do we deal with the wounded?" Jun Mengchen gathered together the injured geniuses from the Xiao Branch. Qin Wentian glanced at them as he replied, "Toss them out."
"Sure." Jun Mengchen laughed. One-by-one, he hauled the whole group out of the ex-headquarters of the Xiao Branch, much like one would toss out the garbage. The spectators felt shaken at the sight; how ruthless was the Qin Sect? Not only did they drastically wound their opponents, but they’d also seized all their interspatial rings.
As for those poor fellows who were tossed out like trash, their faces were bleached completely of color. What a humiliation—their face and prestige had completely been tarnished with this one battle!
