The Peerless Emperor

Bai Ximing and Wuzhan Shuang were still struggling hard, but their strength was increasingly failing them.

The Soul Beasts were far inferior to the Swift Hidden Clan and the Invisible Clan in terms of strength, and most of them were almost dead. Qingyu and Qiang Yu had already started firing into the midst of the two clans.

The Silver Moon Giant Wolf below also gradually charged from the ground, joining the fray.

Neither the Swift Hidden Clan nor the Invisible Clan had ever faced Soul Beasts capable of using Soul Devices, nor understood how much combat power they possessed.

Now they felt it, and they faced death as well.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The second round of Soul Power cannons had fired again, leaving the Swift Hidden Clan and the Invisible Clan, who were confronting enemies up front, with no way to dodge. The casualty rate was far greater than before, increasing several fold.

The Swift Hidden Clan's ability to hide their forms was useless in this battlefield and actually led to faster deaths. Due to the presence of the Roaming Spear and the Fierce Shield, their speed advantage couldn't be utilized at all and they were firmly held back.

The Invisible Clan's formidable spiritual power, when used against the soldiers they were fighting, was like pebbles against the ocean, provoking not even the slightest reaction.

Bai Ximing and Wuzhan Shuang, along with the strong ones of their clans, tried several times to break through, but to no avail.

Unknowingly, their numbers were dwindling while the number of the Imperial Army from the Huaxia Empire around them was growing. Especially with the furious vanguard, it was unbearably frustrating.

The enemies seemed merely to have come to die; if you don't kill them, they'll dangle provocatively in front of you with broadswords that don't hesitate to chop relentlessly.

If you do kill them, a roar begins within them, their strength greatly increases, and they deliver even fiercer, unbearable strikes.

Not just Bai Ximing and Wuzhan Shuang, but the strong ones of their clans behind them had also excessively drained their Soul Power, and their physical strength was rapidly declining.

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly rushed from all directions, with hands holding strands of golden ropes, tossing them over their bodies.

The golden Binding Ropes instantly tightened around them, securing them tightly. Their energies depleted, they couldn't break free. Eventually, they were all captured by the Imperial Army of the Huaxia Empire and escorted towards Lin Qian.

The situation on the battlefield changed in an instant. After Bai Ximing and Wuzhan Shuang were captured, the morale of the Swift Hidden Clan and the Invisible Clan plummeted. Already at a disadvantage, they became even more panicked, and the rate of death and injury increased rapidly.

When Bai Ximing and Wuzhan Shuang were escorted in front of Lin Qian, their faces were ashen. They had never imagined they would lose!

Before the battle, they had intended to teach Lin Qian, who they thought was arrogant, a lesson and let him learn the consequences of insulting them. But after the battle commenced, they hadn't felt concerned, thinking with so many on their side, how could they possibly lose?

However, as the battle fully unfolded, they finally realized how foolish their previous arrogance and confidence had been. They also couldn't understand how such an outrageous enemy had appeared out of nowhere.

Despite the distance between the territories of the Invisible Clan and the Swift Hidden Clan, they still had some understanding of the situation of the Human Clan.

In their knowledge, there wasn't a single Human Clan power that possessed an army so powerful and well-equipped!

Lin Qian slowly landed on the city wall, his seat, the Nine Dragons Throne, transformed back into nine dragons surrounding his body, and retracted back inside him, the flames of his imperial robe also drawing back into his body.

Yuan Xiang's ethereal figure also floated beside Lin Qian, following him to the group of captives.

Looking at Bai Ximing and Wuzhan Shuang, who were kneeling on the ground, as well as the strong warriors of their two tribes behind them, Yuan Xiang was full of sentiment.

"I really hadn't expected you to win," Yuan Xiang said, facing Lin Qian with a face full of admiration and surprise as he looked at the captured Bai Ximing and Wuzhan Shuang. "You've really shown me many incredible things, especially your subordinates, who are truly astonishing."

"If the number of your subordinates were increased, and they were cultivated further, you could probably sweep through the entire Soul Martial Continent."

Yuan Xiang's words didn't sound like boasting to Bai Ximing and Wuzhan Shuang, who had personally fought with Lin Qian's Imperial Army. They deeply understood the feasibility of Yuan Xiang's words.

They had never before seen an army so harmoniously coordinated, with average strength so formidable, divided into parts each possessing unique abilities.

If it were just one person with a miraculous ability, it would be surprising; but a group of people possessing them was terrifying.

"Lin Qian, I must say we underestimated you. I am utterly convinced by your victory, but a being like you absolutely cannot be allowed to leave this Small World alive. Otherwise, if you and your subordinates were to grow, the doomsday of our clans hostile to the Human Clan would most likely arrive," Bai Ximing said, sincerely praising Lin Qian as he approached.

Beside him, Wuzhan Shuang also stared at Lin Qian: "I admire your subordinates as well, but I'm curious whether you, hiding behind and watching, possess the same abilities."

Lin Qian looked at Bai Ximing and Wuzhan Shuang who had spoken first, his eyes revealing a peculiar expression: "I'm curious, your lives are still in my hands, yet you seem rather calm?"

Seeing doubt in Lin Qian's eyes, Bai Ximing looked towards Yuan Xiang and couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Before I came here, I thought I was certain to win, to make you, who dared to insult me, weep and beg for mercy. But the appearance of Lord Xuan's mark beside you made me feel uneasy."

"Lord Xuan is a legendary figure of the Soul Martial Continent, a hero of the Human Clan. Even if it is just a mark left by him during his lifetime, it is not to be underestimated," Wuzhan Shuang also spoke, his eyes shifting toward Yuan Xiang's ethereal body, showing respect.

"The mark of Lord Xuan has always been hidden in darkness, not appearing before others. Its sudden appearance surely indicates an emergency," Bai Ximing said, his face revealing a smug smile. "To be safe, Brother Wu and our fathers' avatars should be arriving soon."

"Even though it is just an avatar of our father, it still possesses the strength of the Awakening Realm, not something you can contend with!" Wuzhan Shuang also bellowed with laughter.

After they finished speaking, both were prepared to see a look of fear on Lin Qian's face.

However, to their disappointment, Lin Qian's face did not show the fear they anticipated; instead, he looked at them as if they were fools.
