The final battle.
Today, everyone finally witnessed what an army was like. Such a fearless army was enough to strike fear into anyone's heart. Even cultivators at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage would tremble in fear.
At this moment, everyone finally understood why Qin Lie was able to defeat the Da Qian Empire's army of three hundred thousand with only thirty thousand men … It was because this army of soldiers was like the soldiers of hell!
When the remaining few thousand men let out a heart-wrenching battle cry, everyone noticed Long Chen's figure. His eyes were unprecedentedly cold.
At this moment, his heart was burning with rage. Looking at the blood on the city wall, he knew that these people had died because of him.
These deaths were different from the ones in the battle against the Da Qian Empire. If they had all died in battle, many of them would have stood out.
However, their deaths today were completely worthless.
Their only use was to break open a gate …
"Guard the city gate. Leave the rest to me!" Long Chen said in a low voice.
Qin Lie stared blankly at all this. He stood behind the city gate with four thousand men and watched as Long Chen walked into the Imperial Capital.
He still didn't know why Long Chen was doing all this for him. Although Long Chen had a grudge against the First Prince, there was no need for him to do so much for him.
He didn't know what kind of favor Long Chen was talking about. He only knew that Long Chen was truly an extraordinary person.
When Long Chen walked into the Imperial Capital and walked up the bluestone steps toward the city wall, the generals and ministers felt their hair stand on end for some reason.
None of the generals dared to step forward. Qin Feng stood in place with an ashen face. However, he was also speechless.
After all, Long Chen had killed Huang Pulei with a single strike. He was the most powerful cultivator below the Return to Void Stage. Who would dare to face him head-on?
Qin Qing, who was standing in the corner, shook his head and smiled bitterly. He stepped forward and blocked Long Chen's path.
Long Chen frowned slightly. He stared at Qin Qing and said coldly, "You want to stop me?"
Qin Qing didn't answer. Instead, he replied, "You're talented and have a bright future ahead of you. Why do you have to fight to the death? As long as you leave now, I can guarantee that no one in the entire Black Dragon Empire will hunt you down! "
Long Chen sneered twice and said, "Although there is no gap between you and me, but as the ruler of a country, you are too quick to judge the situation, unable to distinguish right from wrong. If you wanted to persuade me, why didn't you do so before I entered the city? Now … it's too late! "
Qin Qing's face darkened when he heard Long Chen's cold words.
After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice, "Don't think that my Black Dragon Empire only has this much strength. This is the imperial capital … and Qin Feng is already the emperor. If you continue to advance, no one will be able to save you!"
"Not only that, but Qin Feng also has Elder Qing Yun Zi of the Five Great Sects as his master. If you kill him today, you won't be able to pass the Immortal Ascension Path, let alone enter the Five Great Sects! You are so talented, why make things difficult for yourself … "
Qin Qing tried his best to persuade Long Chen, telling him that if he continued to advance, only death would await him!
But no matter how many words he had, they were all swallowed back by Long Chen's one sentence.
"Get out of the way, or else … die!"
Long Chen's entire body emitted an ice-cold aura. On the city wall, Qin Feng returned to his normal state after a short moment of absent-mindedness. The corners of his mouth curled into a playful smile.
As he casually drew an inscription in the air, black shadows from all around the imperial capital rushed toward him. Their speed was so fast that they were almost like phantoms.
In just a few breaths, they appeared behind him.
In the instant that the ten black shadows appeared, the people around Qin Feng couldn't help but take a few steps back in fright. Each of them had a look of awe on their faces, and they felt that it was somewhat difficult to breathe.
These people were like ghosts. They wore long black robes, and their faces wore ash-white ghost masks. They were indescribably strange.
"Is this the foundation of our Black Dragon Empire? Ten great Return to Void Stage cultivators!"
"I didn't expect this to be true. Rumor has it that every country has Return to Void Stage cultivators. On the surface, the peak of the Soul Formation Stage is the limit, but in reality, they all have Return to Void Stage cultivators overseeing them. Only the ruler of the country can control them …"
"This Long Chen still hasn't retreated? That's the same as seeking his own death. "
"Can't you see? His Majesty is determined to kill today. There's no way this Long Chen can survive!"
…
Qin Qing glanced back, then immediately said to Long Chen again, "Things have already come to this. Have you really thought it through?"
Before Long Chen could do anything, Qin Feng stood on the city gate tower and laughed loudly. He said playfully, "You relied on more than ten thousand people to open the city gate, but what can you do now? Today, you will die without a doubt! Your corpse will be hanging on the city wall … "
As he spoke, he coldly ordered the ten black-robed, ghost-masked men behind him, "Kill this person for me!"
However, the ten men behind him didn't move at all, as if they didn't hear him.
On the steps, Qin Qing shook his head and sighed. He said, "These ten men are the foundation of our Black Dragon Empire. As long as the ruler is not alive, they won't make a move."
After he finished speaking.
Qin Qing looked at Long Chen and saw the killing intent in his eyes. He knew that Long Chen wouldn't stop or retreat today.
And Qin Feng on the city wall also wouldn't let Long Chen go. Today's battle was already destined to be a battle of life and death!
"Since that's the case, I'll fight you first …" Qin Qing stared at Long Chen, and his voice gradually became cold.
Unless there was no other choice, Qin Qing really didn't want to use the strength of these ten men for Long Chen. Although these ten men had the strength of a Void Return cultivator, they only had one chance to survive.
In fact, Long Chen and Qin Qing didn't have any enmity between them. However, Qin Qing chose to help Qin Feng take over the Black Dragon Empire because of Qing Yun Zi's name.
And this choice was equivalent to abandoning the Third Prince Qin Lie!
"You and I don't have any enmity between us. But if you insist on doing this, today, my sword will have one more soul …" Long Chen said as the Hornless Dragon Sword in his hand hummed.
Qin Qing snorted coldly, and a dark green longsword appeared in his hand. Spirit light could be faintly seen on the sword, and engravings covered it. He replied, "I've already given you so many chances, but you still overestimate yourself. You're delusional to think that you can fight against Qing Yun Zi. You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
As Qin Qing's voice fell, streaks of blood-red light shot out from his body. At the same time, his cultivation base instantly skyrocketed.
He actually directly rushed from the peak of the Soul Formation Late Stage to the Void Return Stage!
Long Chen wasn't surprised by his actions. This man's vitality was almost exhausted, and he would die in less than a month. Since he chose to fight today, regardless of whether he won or lost, only death awaited him.
"You killed Huang Pulei with a single sword strike. I'd like to see if you really have the strength of a Void Return Stage cultivator …" Qin Qing said as he rushed toward Long Chen with his longsword.
On the city wall, everyone sighed.
