Lin Qian's strike didn't have any earth-shattering might, nor did it have any dazzling soul light. It was just a simple strike.
But in reality, the power of this strike was all absorbed into the blade of the sword. It didn't look fancy on the outside.
When an emperor guarded his territory, he didn't rely on a glorious palace or a luxurious royal robe. He relied on his own strength.
Swish!
A faint golden light appeared, revealing the mark left by Lin Qian's Thunder Night Sword.
The black sword contained terrifying power, and instantly slashed through Wu Xuan's protective soul power. When the blade landed on his thick staff, it was actually cut into two.
Lin Qian pointed the tip of his sword at the ground. He had already finished slashing.
There wasn't any special movement, and there wasn't any strong wind. There weren't any ravines or scratches caused by ordinary sword Qi in the surroundings. There was nothing special about it.
But it was precisely this loose and ordinary sword that caused Wu Xuan's originally indestructible protective soul power to suddenly shatter, and the essence artifact in his hand that blocked Lin Qian's attack was completely destroyed.
How could it still be used after being cut into two?
Wu Xuan stared blankly at Lin Qian in front of him. He couldn't believe what had happened. Lin Qian had actually broken through his defense.
He could tell that Lin Qian's previous slash was extremely profound. All the power had been condensed into the body of the sword, at the edge of the blade.
There wasn't any sword Qi that could affect the surrounding soul power. As long as the power was extremely strong, it was completely condensed at the edge of the sword.
"Since your defense is very strong, your power should be stronger and sharper." Lin Qian looked at Wu Xuan and said calmly.
Sword Suppressing Mountains and Rivers was a very simple move. It was to condense all the power in the sword and attach it to the edge of the sword.
The power of the attack was all concentrated at one point. At the closest distance, the explosive power exploded and completely broke through Wu Xuan's defense.
In reality, after Lin Qian's power increased explosively, the two swords that landed on Wu Xuan's body had almost collapsed his originally impenetrable defense. It was far less stable than when he was at his peak.
In the end, Lin Qian struck out with his Sword Suppressing Mountains and Rivers, completely disintegrating Wu Xuan's defense.
Wu Xuan was still in a daze when his defense was broken by Lin Qian. Originally, before he stepped into the Nirvana Stage, he was already good at defense, and the characteristics of the Martial Soul that he obtained after successfully entering the Nirvana Stage were extremely compatible with his style.
All along, Wu Xuan had been extremely confident in his defense. Unless his opponent's cultivation was far higher than his, they would be able to break through his defense with absolute strength. Ordinary Soul Warriors of the same cultivation realm would be defeated before they could break through his defense due to excessive soul power consumption.
It was the first time in his life that his defense had been broken by a Life and Death Realm Soul Warrior.
Even though an existence like Lin Qian could be considered a monster, Wu Xuan was still dumbfounded and found it hard to accept.
Looking at the despondent Wu Xuan, Lin Qian suddenly shook the Thunder Night Sword in his hand and swung it at him. It was so fast that only a black shadow could be seen. Then, he held the back of the sword behind his arm and gradually rose into the sky.
Wu Xuan still stood where he was with a confused expression. A line of blood appeared on his throat, but the blood did not spurt out because his muscles contracted to block the wound.
Pfft! Pfft!
However, following that, blood still spurted out from Wu Xuan's heart and Dantian. Lin Qian did not attack with just one sword, but three times.
"This shouldn't be …" Wu Xuan slowly raised his hand and mumbled as he covered the wound on his throat. He still could not believe that his defense had been broken by Lin Qian.
Bang!
Wu Xuan fell to the ground with doubt and confusion. Following that, Gale came up to take care of him.
In mid-air, the battle on Lin Qian's side temporarily stopped. It was only after Wu Xuan was killed that the Awakening Realm experts of the Qin Dynasty reacted. When they looked at the young emperor, their faces were filled with fear.
Those at the higher Awakening Realm were naturally fine, but those at the lower Awakening Realm looked at Lin Qian with fear on their faces.
The opponent's true battle power had been fully displayed just now. They believed that if they were to face him, they would not be a match for him at all. They would probably die.
Not only did the lower Marquises and Generals realize this, but the stronger experts also knew that there was no point in staying here for long.
The Qin Dynasty had made a huge mistake, and that was to severely underestimate the strength of the Hua Xia Empire. They had completely underestimated Lin Qian's strength.
"Our Qin Dynasty has underestimated your empire. We thought you were a harmless little thing, but you're actually a vicious beast," the rank 4 Awakening Realm Marquis glared at Lin Qian and gritted his teeth. He was extremely vexed.
"In reality, it was your Qin Dynasty that was stupid. Actually, Linhai Province had already changed a long time ago. You just didn't notice it." At this point, Lin Qian had a mocking smile on his face as if he was looking at an idiot. His words echoed in the air.
"Since four years ago, there has been no news from Linhai Province. Don't you know?"
In these years, the Hua Xia Empire had completely sealed off any news from Linhai Province. In reality, this was already very abnormal.
Lin Qian had spent a year dealing with the Eight-Armed Merfolk, a year with the Southern Association, a year with the Soul Power Cannons, and a year with the Qin Dynasty's war.
In these four years, Linhai Province and the Beginning Province had developed rapidly. At the same time, under Lin Qian's orders, news from Linhai Province had been completely sealed off. The border was also guarded by the imperial army, just in case.
In reality, Lin Qian thought that the changes in Linhai Province would be noticed very quickly. However, the results exceeded his expectations.
There were actually no powers from the Southern Region paying attention to Linhai Province. Could it be that none of the powers would go and collect information about their own regions?
However, when he thought about how they did not seem to know anything about the recent changes in Linhai Province, Lin Qian understood that they probably did not do so.
People like Lin Qian had already secretly left Linhai Province and infiltrated other places to gather information. Ever since he could summon Gale, this task had been given to them.
Although the Hua Xia Empire's Gale and scouting beasts still needed time to infiltrate the entire Southern Region, Lin Qian believed that it would not take long before they would be able to grasp every movement in the Southern Region.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will always be victorious. Information had to be gathered clearly, but at this time, it seemed that they did not care about this at all.
Bang! At this time, a figure suddenly flew over from afar, shouting at the group of Marquis and generals with a panicked expression. "Bad news!"
