Qin Wentian stared at Zhong Zihua's eyes. After that, he smiled and retracted the attack on Zhong Zihua's arm. He didn't cripple Zhong Zihua's arm. He calmly smiled, "I will temporarily keep your arm. Go back and await further orders."
"Many thanks, Governor." Zhong Zihua started as a look of shock appeared on his face. After that, he bowed and retreated.
Qin Wentian stared at Zhong Zihua's departing back. With a wave of his hand, he isolated his immortal sense and turned his gaze to the little lion in the corner.
"What do you think of this?" Qin Wentian asked.
"You suspect him?" The Evil Emperor felt a little puzzled. "From the sound of it, there doesn't seem to be any problems with what he said. This is indeed a more suitable choice."
"Indeed. However, he did lie." Qin Wentian calmly spoke.
A demonic light flashed in the eyes of the Evil Emperor. He didn't ask anything more. Since Qin Wentian said that he lied, most probably, Qin Wentian would be wary of his existence.
Several days later, the last vice governor, Zhao Yichuan, also arrived. He directly appeared outside the governor's manor and cursed at Qin Wentian, telling Qin Wentian to scram out to see him.
Hence, many figures gathered outside the governor's manor, including many of Zhao Yichuan's subordinates.
Although there were three vice governors in the governor's manor, it was clear that Zhao Yichuan was the leader. His cultivation base was the highest and he had the most experience. Outside the governor's manor, he stood in the air, radiating an extremely violent emperor might that bore down on this entire space, causing everyone to feel stifled.
"Qin Wentian, you despicable fellow. Just because this seat was outside and didn't return, you actually issued a warrant for my arrest, wanting me to come back and beg for forgiveness, cutting off one of my arms and expelling me from the governor's manor. How preposterous." Zhao Yichuan's anger towered up into the sky, his aura terrifying. "Just a captive from the Lifire Palace, how dare you come to the governor's manor to act like a tyrant, killing my brother, Vice Governor Lu Tong. I will definitely kill you."
"Commander Zhao seems very angry." The people of the governor's manor silently mused. Zhao Yichuan had always been a decisive person, but he was calm and intelligent. This didn't seem like the him of the past. Could it be that he was stimulated by Qin Wentian?
Indeed, as a vice governor, how would Zhao Yichuan, who was a lofty immortal emperor, still have the face to meet others in the future?
Although immortal emperors weren't lofty characters in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, they were still considered experts and would naturally have some pride. How could they endure such humiliation?
Qin Wentian walked out from the governor's manor. He was clad in long robes and when the people of the governor's manor saw him, they all bowed, not daring to show any disrespect. The scene of Qin Wentian killing Lu Tong was still fresh in their minds.
"Zhong Zihua?" Zhao Yichuan glanced at the person behind Qin Wentian as he coldly spoke, "Zhong Zihua, you are actually wagging your tail and begging for mercy? No wonder your arm is still intact. Seems like you are here to beg for mercy, right? Are you going to ignore the death of Brother Lu Tong just like that?"
"Commander Zhao, don't talk nonsense. If you admit your guilt now, Governor Qin might spare you." Zhong Zihua spoke.
"Just this captive?" Zhao Yichuan pointed at Qin Wentian and laughed. "A captive who needs to rely on a woman to save his life actually came here to take on the governor's position? Today, I shall prove to the Palace Lord that there are times when his judgement isn't good. Qin Wentian, I, Zhao Yichuan, challenge you to a duel. Do you dare to accept? "
Qin Wentian glanced over, his gaze was incomparably cold. A pair of demonic eyes of truth appeared and Zhao Yichuan only felt the world changing as he was trapped within a dimension created by the eye technique. With a roar of rage, boundless tyrannical might radiated from him. His long hair was as sharp as golden swords as thunder rumbled. Golden lightning flashed, his attacks were tyrannical to the extreme, wanting to shatter the dimension created by the eye technique.
"Governor Qin, this Zhao Yichuan's strength is extraordinary. I will act together with Governor to deal with him." Zhong Zihua took a step forward, directly appearing behind Qin Wentian. He stretched out his white fingers as emperor light radiated from him. His right hand directly blasted out a palm imprint towards Zhao Yichuan while his left hand shot out a formless qi current.
Qin Wentian's countenance abruptly flashed with coldness. He turned his head and glanced at Zhong Zihua. Resplendent rays of light gushed forth from his body, transforming into a terrifying sword of light that shot towards Zhong Zihua. At the same time, his powerful law energy circulated around him. However, that formless qi current actually ignored the seal of the sword of light and directly pierced through the spatial barrier, landing on Qin Wentian's body. Under Qin Wentian's incomparably powerful defense, it was like a formless needle boring into Qin Wentian's body.
"Governor, what are you doing …" Zhong Zihua roared as he retreated after being attacked by Qin Wentian. His countenance drastically changed and at the same time, Qin Wentian only felt a piercing pain from his soul. That formless energy was like countless soul-piercing needles, frenziedly piercing into his soul, causing his body to tremble as he almost lost all combat strength.
"BOOM!" On the other side, Zhao Yichuan directly broke through the space created by his eye technique. Emperor's might descended from the sky. At this moment, he was no longer as enraged as before. Instead, he was extremely calm, exuding a sense of majesty. He lifted his hand and in an instant, golden lightning laws were born in the air, transforming into countless golden lightning blades that enveloped this space and pierced towards Qin Wentian's body.
Evidently, Zhao Yichuan and Zhong Zihua had long since planned this. They had joined forces, all for the sake of killing Qin Wentian with a single strike.
Qin Wentian's soul was invaded. Those terrifying soul-piercing needles expanded unceasingly, wanting to destroy his soul. A formless soul fluctuation bloomed as Qin Wentian's soul directly disintegrated. His body stiffened as the terrifying golden lightning blades directly pierced into Qin Wentian's body. In an instant, fresh blood flowed everywhere.
A golden spear that could pierce through the heavens and earth appeared in Zhao Yichuan's hand. He directly pierced towards Qin Wentian's head. The hearts of many below trembled violently. The new governor who killed Lu Tong was killed just like that?
As expected, the two vice governors, Zhao Yichuan and Zhong Zihua, were not simple characters. Although they didn't sense Zhong Zihua's attack, since Qin Wentian suddenly attacked him, Zhong Zihua must have done something to Qin Wentian.
The Evil Emperor, who was behind him, also acted. His demonic eyes flashed with a terrifying green light, shooting straight into Zhong Zihua's mind. With a roar of rage, he transformed into an incomparably ferocious giant lion, his sharp claws slashing out towards Zhong Zihua. Zhong Zihua's left hand waved out once more as a formless shockwave blasted out, piercing through the Evil Emperor's sharp claws, drilling into his soul. A thunderous sound rang out as Zhong Zihua's body was flung through the air.
In an instant, the golden spear in Zhao Yichuan's hand was already about to pierce into Qin Wentian's head, taking his life.
But at this moment, Qin Wentian's body suddenly moved. A powerful spatial law energy fluctuated as his body transformed into a mirage, shifting his position slightly. The terrifying sharp blade directly whistled out from his side, causing the void to tremble violently.
With another glance, Zhao Yichuan was once again trapped in the space created by the eye technique. That pair of eyes was so terrifying, countless rays of light pierced into his eyes. Zhao Yichuan screamed in agony as he closed his eyes. Fresh blood flowed out from his eyes as they were burned by the light bit by bit. His screams of agony caused those who heard it to tremble uncontrollably.
BANG! Zhao Yichuan's head disappeared under the illumination of the light. After which, his body also transformed into ashes, directly dying.
Qin Wentian abruptly turned his gaze towards Zhong Zihua.
Zhong Zihua had an expression of extreme terror on his face. How could this be possible? The Soul Slaying Needle in addition to Zhao Yichuan actually failed to kill Qin Wentian?
The Soul Slaying Needle was an extremely powerful treasure. Even the Evil Emperor, a peak-stage demon king, was currently struggling in agony. Qin Wentian was only at the initial-stage of the immortal king realm. Just the Soul Slaying Needle alone should have been enough to destroy his soul. In addition to Zhao Yichuan's strength, it was impossible for him to fail.
However, he had failed. Because of this, he had to pay an extremely painful price. When the countless swords of light penetrated through his body, he was crippled, but his life wasn't taken. Zhong Zihua was now a cripple as he slammed onto the ground. His entire body was dyed red with fresh blood as he stared at Qin Wentian who was descending from the skies.
"Although I already knew that you had ill intentions and was on guard against you, I didn't expect that I would still be ambushed. What was that thing?" Qin Wentian stared at Zhong Zihua as he asked. At this moment, although Qin Wentian's aura was terrifying, if one paid close attention, they would be able to sense that his aura was much weaker compared to before. Clearly, he was greatly affected.
His soul was injured. Earlier, he used the Undying Scripture to forcefully separate his soul, shattering the portion of his soul that was pierced by the Soul Slaying Needle, allowing him to instantly recover his combat prowess.
"Soul Slaying Needle." The Evil Emperor spoke as his large eyes flashed with a deep sense of dread. "Luckily, it's not the highest grade Soul Slaying Needles. If not, we would have died without a doubt. However, even a Soul Slaying Needle of this grade is terrifyingly expensive. Let's not talk about a vice governor, even an ordinary governor would have to go bankrupt if they wanted to take it out."
"So terrifying?" Qin Wentian's eyes flashed. But when he thought back to that feeling earlier, he nodded silently. Even for peak-stage immortal kings, if they encountered such a thing, in addition to Zhao Yichuan's killing intent, they would definitely die for sure. Such a thing was simply too terrifying, one could very well imagine its value.
Since Zhong Zihua might not be able to take out such a thing, this meant that it must have been given to him by someone else. Not only for him, but for the Evil Emperor as well. From this, one could see that the Evil Emperor was well prepared.
"I've already crippled him. I'll leave him to you." Qin Wentian spoke to the Evil Emperor.
"Right." The Evil Emperor nodded. Luckily, he was also proficient in soul energy. If not, it would be even more difficult for him to recover.
He walked over, his demonic eyes staring at Zhong Zihua as he entered Zhong Zihua's sea of consciousness.
Qin Wentian coldly stared at him. The encounter today caused him to feel a chill in his heart. He had just established his might not too long ago and was only dealing with his subordinates. Yet, he was already in such a predicament. From this, one could very well imagine how dangerous the situation was.
The Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms were many times more dangerous compared to the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. Since a treasure like the Soul Slaying Needle could be taken out here, it meant that there would be other treasures here as well. Even if he was facing someone weaker than him, he still had to be wary.
The hearts of the people in the surroundings trembled. This battle, the situation suddenly changed, causing them to personally experience how terrifying this battle was.
This also made them realize once again that this new commander was very terrifying!
