Chapter 103: Battle_1
The Sword Qi was obliterated! After the residual energy dissipated, the Imperial Capital remained unscathed. Lv Bu, wielding his divine halberd, his tall and mighty figure stood like a God Mountain, warding off all danger. The city’s inhabitants sighed in relief, a hint of a smile gracing their faces. The Qin Dynasty hadn’t let them down!
"A Saint?" The Sky Water Sect’s Third Elder was taken aback once more. He hadn’t expected that the diminutive Qin Empire, besides an Alchemist, also had a Saint presiding over it. Hadn’t it been said that for hundreds of thousands of years, only the Changeable Mansion in the Nine Dao Domains housed a Saint? This made him view the Qin Empire with a touch of mystery.
"Who are you, and why do you invade the Qin Dynasty?" Subsequently, the Qin Emperor arrived with numerous experts and questioned them sternly, his voice laced with intense anger.
"Humph! You killed my disciple, so it’s only right you pay with your blood!" Wang Tiancheng retorted coldly. The flames at his back surged skyward, burning fiercely with his volatile emotions, even twisting the Void. Although the Qin Empire’s strength, with a Saint and an Alchemist, exceeded his expectations... so what? No matter how strong the Qin Empire was, could it be stronger than the Sky Water Sect? In the Great Radiance Domain, the Sky Water Sect’s power was average, perhaps not top-tier, but in the Nine Dao Domains, it was an undeniable behemoth. A few casually dispatched elders could obliterate all Nine Dao Domains.
"Disciple! Pill Fire! Are you the Pill King, Wang Tiancheng?" The Qin Emperor seized upon these clues, instantly deducing Wang Tiancheng’s identity. His brow furrowed, his expression turning grim.
"Correct!" Wang Tiancheng sneered, issuing a murderous command to the two Sky Water Sect experts, "Elders, slaughter the city!"
"Weren’t we only supposed to eliminate the Qin imperial family? Why the change of plans?" another elder, standing beside the Third Elder, inquired with displeasure. For him, there wasn’t much difference between slaughtering a clan and annihilating a city, but Wang Tiancheng’s attitude particularly irked him. How could he just change his mind at the last minute?
"Ninth Elder, don’t forget that when we departed, the Sect Master ordered you to obey my commands unconditionally! If I, the Pill King, were to be startled, and my hand slipped while refining the pill... then the Forefather’s injuries..." Wang Tiancheng threatened. Saints were pillars in any faction, their status no lower than a Profound Level Alchemist. He dared to threaten Saints because he was certain the Sky Water Sect elders wouldn’t dare to defy him. The matter was thus: a few months ago, the Sky Water Sect’s Forefather had been defeated and grievously injured in a battle with the Fierce Tiger Sect’s Forefather. Only a Profound Level Alchemist or higher could heal him. If it were merely that, Wang Tiancheng wouldn’t be so audacious. Crucially, the Fierce Tiger Sect’s Forefather was a sworn brother to the head of the Pill Tower’s branch in the Great Radiance Domain. Consequently, no other Alchemists in the Great Radiance Domain dared to treat the Sky Water Sect’s Forefather. Thus, Wang Tiancheng had become the Sky Water Sect’s only hope.
"You..." The Ninth Elder’s face darkened, on the verge of an outburst.
