The Peerless Emperor

"Buff," an English translation from Lin Qian's previous life's game for enhancement skills—how could the otherworldly beings of this world possibly understand this? They just found it odd.

Things were going well originally. Why had Lin Qian suddenly started to talk nonsense?

They couldn't control Lin Qian's nonsensical talk, but after Lin Qian consumed those bizarre items, they could keenly feel that his strength seemed to have increased yet another level.

His body flickered with colorful glows thirteen times in total, each flicker seemingly making him stronger, but exactly how he was stronger was unclear.

Of course, Lin Qian wouldn't tell them that those skill gems enhanced various aspects such as strength, speed, reaction time, and the circulation speed of Soul Power.

"After stacking the buffs, I'll just beat you until you willingly call me 'Daddy,'" Lin Qian flexed his muscles, weighed the Emperor Sword in his hand with a smile, and then moved towards Wu En and Bai Hengyi again.

Whoosh!

After Lin Qian made his move, Yuan Xiang's expression changed again: "He's gotten faster. Is this still someone from the Life and Death Realm, Body Realm?"

Yuan Xiang just watched as Lin Qian fought one against two, wielding his Emperor Sword against Bai Hengyi and Wu En.

After Wu En gathered Blade Fist, he was noticeably more difficult to deal with. Often, after slamming a punch, he would suddenly change his approach, using the Soul Power condensed arc-blades to slice across.

However, Lin Qian, whose soul itself was powerful, couldn't possibly fall for that. Under the training from Zhang Juncheng previously, coupled with his past life as a competitive arena enthusiast, his combat experience was not something the ordinary younger generation could match.

Moreover, Bai Hengyi and Wu En, who were fighting against Lin Qian, were also feeling extremely uncomfortable at this moment.

They had originally thought to use their abundant combat experience to suppress Lin Qian, but little did they expect his practical experience would be superb, far surpassing their imaginations.

And they realized that as the battle went on, the more strenuous it became for them, as if Lin Qian had precognitive abilities, seemingly knowing where they would strike next.

Lin Qian's iris, flickering with a golden sheen, gave them a feeling of being seen through.

Lin Qian himself didn't possess precognitive abilities, but the Heavenly Art Department of the Huaxia Empire did!

Through his skirmish with Bai Hengyi and Wu En, information about these two otherworldly beings was passed through Lin Qian's eyes directly to the Heavenly Art Department.

After analyzing by the Heavenly Art Department, the combat habits of Bai Hengyi and Wu En were gradually understood.

What situations they preferred what angles to attack with, how much force they liked to use—all were clearly arranged on the Tactical Mirror in front of the scribes responsible for this area.

In Lin Qian's view, visible only to him, a part of the system frame in the upper right corner continually popped up with advice given by the Heavenly Art Department.

The now-hidden Bai Hengyi, just as he was about to strike at the back of Lin Qian, saw him suddenly turn around and slash with his sword towards him.

Carrying the Emperor's dictatorial Soul Power, it transformed into a sword curtain sweeping over towards him, nearly making it impossible for him to evade, only able to raise the twin daggers he held to block in front of him.

Bang!

Mid-air, Bai Hengyi was directly struck by Lin Qian's sword, awkwardly tumbling backwards and flying off at an angle.

For the Swift Hidden Clan members, known for their stealth but notably weak defense, if Bai Hengyi were not from the Awakening Realm but instead from the Life and Death Realm, Heart Realm, he might have been cleaved in half by that single sword strike.

"Ah!"

At that moment, a scream suddenly echoed from a distance. Yuan Xiang, hovering over the city wall, sensed immediately that a strong member of the Swift Hidden Clan from the Awakening Realm had perished under Lin Qian's hand.

In addition to watching the slaughter at Lin Qian's location, Yuan Xiang was also paying attention to another eight from the Awakening Realm and their subordinates on the battlefield.

Yuan Xiang had already witnessed the coordination among Lin Qian's subordinates; this time, their attack on the Awakening Realm strongman was exceptionally seamless.

Although the Awakening Realm was formidable, Soul Power was ultimately limited, and so was their physical strength. Facing an almost endless stream of enemies, their mental pressure was immense.

At that moment, Yuan Xiang deeply understood Lin Qian's words, "When the number reaches a certain extent, it definitely causes a qualitative change."

Despite the gap in their realms, Lin Qian simply used sheer numbers to fill it, waving his hand to command an army of eight billion to fight you, so unreasonably.

To this day, Yuan Xiang could not understand where Lin Qian's eight billion subordinates had sprung from, or how he managed to do it.

Now, the only possibility Yuan Xiang could think of was that Lin Qian had received an exceedingly remarkable inheritance—although the inheritance was incredibly baffling.

In any case, Lin Qian was now shrouded in mystery. However, Yuan Xiang was very pleased to see such excellence from him.

Lin Qian was so outstanding, and Yuan Xiang was happy to see it, but Bai Hengyi and Wu En were not.

"This Human Clan kid is too troublesome," Wu En roared in his heart, swinging both fists simultaneously. The accumulated Soul Power transformed into huge blades, crossing towards the opponent.

Cross Blade Fist!

The powerful move Wu En could now utilize faced the terrifying aura on the blades, the normal reaction should have been to retreat or to resist while retreating.

This was how enemies usually responded when Wu En used this move in the past.

But, Lin Qian, rather than retreating, advanced. The tip of the Emperor Sword, directed at the very center of the crossing blades, spiraled with Soul Power along the blade and thrust forward fiercely.

Just as the tip of the Emperor Sword was about to pierce the Cross Blade Fist, Bai Hengyi suddenly appeared beside Lin Qian, a triumphant smile on his face. A dagger in his hand surged with green Soul Power aimed straight at his heart.

Simultaneously, a smile also appeared on Wu En's face. Earlier, when he and Bai Hengyi had discussed, they realized that Lin Qian always directly cracked their soul skills instead of dodging them.

Since that was the case, Wu En used the Cross Blade Fist to let Lin Qian break it while Bai Hengyi waited for the right moment.

While Lin Qian was breaking the Cross Blade Fist, Bai Hengyi made his move to assassinate Lin Qian.

As strong members of both the Swift Hidden Clan and the Invisible Clan, despite being an Awakening Realm avatar facing a Life and Death Realm body and resorting to outnumbering and surprise attacks, it indeed wasn't a glorious strategy.

But they were well aware that Lin Qian was a terrifying threat to the other races.

Casually summoning an army of eight billion unmatched soldiers, his talent was unheard of; such a person absolutely could not be allowed to leave the Four Directions World alive.

Yuan Xiang's expression drastically changed atop the city wall, his marked body beginning to radiate brilliant light, clearly about to burn and explode with final power to rescue Lin Qian.
