Chapter 0873: Clash with Emperor Wu

Xian Rujing unsheathed her celestial blade, bracing for all-out combat!

"I am Emperor Wu, while you are just Martial Kings. You cannot defeat me—you will all die!"

The Emperor Wu bellowed furiously, his body trembling as he shattered the frost binding him.

"Use the Sealing Immortal Frost!" Xian Rujing shouted.

The two Snow Spirits blurred, morphing into a misty white fog that swirled violently, enveloping the charging Emperor Wu.

Qin Yun also rushed in, channeling the power of Pain Divine Arts!

"Ah!" The Emperor Wu howled in torment.

The onlookers watched in shock, scrambling back. They never imagined Qin Yun and Xian Rujing would dare attack an Emperor Wu!

The disciples of Mystic Realm Dragon Gate were equally stunned. As they stood gaping, Qin Yun controlled five flying daggers, sending them crisscrossing as they shot toward the group of disciples.

Amid the chaotic dance of the daggers, the disciples screamed as they fell, collapsing to the ground.

With a wave of her hand, Xian Rujing called down a barrage of Tribulation Lightning, crashing down like a storm with earth-shaking booms, blasting the disciples to bloody chunks!

The disciples of Dragon King Manor went pale with terror.

Those were the elite disciples of Mystic Realm Dragon Gate!

Anyone could guess that these disciples had come here to avoid the conflicts within the Mystic Realm, seeking refuge.

Yet now, in just moments, Qin Yun and Xian Rujing had pulverized them.

No one had expected the tag-team assault of Qin Yun and Xian Rujing to be so overwhelming!

Recalling the earlier events, the crowd realized that the Mystic Realm Dragon Gate had brought this upon themselves.

Had they not tried to capture Xian Rujing and violate her purity, they wouldn’t have met such a fate.

The ice-sealed Emperor Wu convulsed in agony.

Qin Yun flashed forward, channeling his full power as he brought the Soul Sacred Blade down with all his might toward the Emperor Wu’s neck.

Boom!

As the Soul Sacred Blade descended, it was suddenly deflected by some invisible barrier.

Qin Yun’s hand, gripping the blade tightly, split open, blood spraying from the recoil.

"Are you alright?" Xian Rujing asked urgently, her voice filled with concern.

"I’m fine!" Qin Yun instantly shifted his grip and struck again at the Emperor Wu.

Though unsure why the blade had been deflected, this was a golden opportunity to kill the Emperor Wu—he had to press the attack once more.

"You wretched pair!" the Emperor Wu roared as golden energy erupted from his body.

"It’s Dragon Shield!"

Qin Yun’s heart skipped a beat. He never imagined Dragon Shield, cultivated to this level, could be so terrifying.

Xian Rujing shouted, "Get back here now!"

Qin Yun swiftly retreated to the side, while Xian Rujing unleashed Tribulation Lightning, hammering the Emperor Wu.

Xian Rujing frowned tightly, her voice urgent, "I'm not strong enough! If I were a Peak Martial King, I would have already killed that bastard!"

Qin Yun quickly pulled out the Lion King Cannon, loaded a Martial King-grade Dao Pill, and at the same time retrieved Long Chuanwu's Half-Immortal Shield, tossing it to Xian Rujing.

After catching it, Xian Rujing immediately asked, "What’s your plan?"

Qin Yun stood beside her, "Hold on. You control that shield to block!"

Xian Rujing looked at the Lion King Cannon on Qin Yun's shoulder, clueless about his plan.

The Emperor Wu, seeing their juniors all dead, bellowed in fury.

"Now!" Qin Yun fired a Martial King Dao Pill shell from the Lion King Cannon.

The cannon suddenly trembled, emitting an ear-splitting screech!

Xian Rujing sensed a terrifying surge of energy erupting from the cannon. Shocked, she quickly stepped in front of Qin Yun, raising the shield to block.

The Martial King Dao Pill fired from the Lion King Cannon streaked out like a meteor, leaving a fiery trail as it blasted toward the Emperor Wu!

It must be known that the Dao Pill fired from the Lion King Cannon was enhanced with various mystical inscriptions, making it terrifyingly potent.

BOOM!

The shell struck the Emperor Wu, triggering a devastating explosion!

The violent blast sent flames surging outward like a tsunami of flames, sweeping across all directions.

The area within several kilometers was instantly engulfed, the ground splitting apart from the force.

The Dragon Reception Hall, built specifically to receive honored guests, was reduced to rubble in the explosion.

Horrifyingly, most of the buildings near the Dragon Reception Hall collapsed as well.

The court vanished, leaving behind a gaping crater miles wide.

The onlookers floated midair, stunned and trembling with fear as they gazed at the devastation below.

The Emperor Wu was left in rags, his body fissured, one arm completely blown off.

"You... what have you done?!" The Emperor Wu was also terrified, recognizing the Dao Pill’s destructive force.

"What are we doing? Of course, killing you!" Qin Yun hissed.

Xian Rujing commanded the Snow Spirit to exert all its strength, flash-frozing the Emperor Wu.

Qin Yun flashed forward, brought his blade down in one clean stroke!

The Soul Sacred Blade, its edge slightly cracked, descended upon the Emperor Wu's head, slicing through his powerful body as easily as cutting tofu—cleaving him in half!

Qin Yun released a black mist, enveloping them, then plunged his hand into the elder's abdomen, extracting the Emperor Wu's Dao Pill and the martial soul within!

Once Qin Yun withdrew from the mist, Xian Rujing's Tribulation Lightning followed, violently striking the Emperor Wu's remains!

The crowd, still disheveled from the earlier explosion and reeling in shock, shuddered anew as they watched the Emperor Wu's body shatter into flying fragments.

A mighty Emperor Wu was actually taken down by two young Martial Kings!

In any faction, an Emperor Wu is the strongest beneath a Half-Immortal and serves as a crucial backbone force.

Losing even one is a huge setback!

Moreover, the Emperor Wu from Mystic Realm Dragon Gate was certainly no weakling, yet he was slain by the combined efforts of two Martial Kings.

The ruckus here was so huge that many Half-Immortals, Emperors Wu, and Martial Kings rushed over from all directions!

Qin Yun and Xian Rujing felt the energy waves rolling in from all sides and felt a hint of fear.

Xian Rujing whispered, "You can get us out of this mess, right?"

"Of course!" Qin Yun grabbed Xian Rujing and used his transparent power to make both of them vanish from sight.

Then, they bolted for the Nine-Dragon Demon Prison Tower.

On the ninth floor of the Nine-Dragon Demon Prison Tower, a Celestial Dragon was waiting, possessing enough power to protect Qin Yun!

...

Qin Yun moved at top speed, bringing Xian Rujing to the base of the Nine-Dragon Demon Prison Tower. He then pulled out a token and shot upward, entering the ninth floor.

Meanwhile, many powerful figures had arrived at the destroyed Imperial Dragon Courtyard—folks from Sky Dragon Gate, Mystic Realm Dragon Gate, and the Long Family were all gathered there!

What happened afterward, Qin Yun had no idea.

He wasn’t sweating Long Yucang either, as Long Cangsheng had his back.

If Long Cangsheng truly couldn’t hold out, he could still escape with Long Yucang.

Long Bei, seeing Qin Yun arrive with a beautiful woman, asked, "What happened outside? The commotion was huge!"

"Some punks tried to push us around, and I couldn’t be bothered to teach them manners, so I just wiped them out—sent them straight back to the forge!" Xian Rujing snorted lightly.

She was still fuming over those lowlifes.

Qin Yun quickly summarized the events for Long Bei.

Long Bei sneered, "Those snobs from Mystic Realm Dragon Gate used to look down on the Dragon King Manor of the Spirit Desolate Mortal Domain… Now they’re slinking over here like mangy strays with their tails between their legs!"

Qin Yun asked curiously, "Senior, how strong is Mystic Realm Dragon Gate overall?"

Long Bei pondered for a moment and said, "No clue how they’re doing now, but back in the day, they were quite formidable! But now, it seems they’re nothing special—otherwise, they wouldn’t have fled here!"

Xian Rujing added, "The reason Sky Dragon Gate descended from the Immortal Desolate was to help Dragon King Manor fight against the Sword Family and also to capture a guy named Qin Yun! That Qin Yun punk is seriously skilled—he’s packing the Flamefury Rune Soul and the Star Monarch Rune Soul! He even wiped out a Long Family outpost!"

Qin Yun fought back a smirk—he was that very bastard named Qin Yun.

Xian Rujing only knew him by the surname "Yun" and had no idea he was Qin Yun, let alone seen his real face.

"By the way, that guy Qin Yun also has a formidable Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron and received the Sky Lion’s legacy, which Sky Dragon Gate is very concerned about!" Xian Rujing continued. "That Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron is an evolvable treasure—word is it could even rank up to sacred artifact tier!"

Hearing this, Long Bei frowned. "No wonder Sky Dragon Gate descended… The Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron was sealed away, and it was hidden in Wuhuang. How’d it pop up outta nowhere? That thing’s pure nightmare fuel for dragons!"

Xian Rujing nodded. "Legend says the dragon race has the Nine-Dragon Totem, while the Sky Lion has the Nine-Lion Totem! The Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron carries the legacy of the Nine-Lion Totem! Sky Lions have been MIA for ages, while dragons dominate across the various Desolates. If the Sky Lions ever make a comeback, your dragon kin would get knocked down a peg again!"

Suddenly, a yell rang out from outside.

"Senior Long Bei, has a bald young man come here with a woman?" someone outside shouted and asked.

"Indeed, what's the matter?" Long Bei replied.

"They killed many of us. Senior Long Bei, could you hand them over?" the person asked again.

"So that's how it is? Then they are enemies of Dragon King Manor?" Long Bei countered.

"Yes! They have committed unspeakable atrocities!" the person outside shouted loudly.

"Very well, I'll devour them immediately!" Long Bei laughed. "That pair looks quite delicious. My stomach's been empty of human flesh for too long—let me feast now!"

The group of elders below the Nine Dragons Demon Prison Tower exchanged gleeful glances upon hearing this, as they had been worried Long Bei might shield and protect them.

One of the elders said, "Our deepest gratitude, Elder!"

The group left in high spirits, still placing great trust in Long Bei.

Though they addressed Long Bei as "Senior," deep down they regarded him as a servant of Dragon King Manor, utterly subservient.

Watching them leave, Long Bei chuckled. "What idiots—got rid of them with just a few words!"

Xian Rujing, however, was quite surprised—she never imagined Qin Yun and Long Bei were on such intimate terms.
