The Peerless Emperor

Chapter 354: Chapter 355: The Utterly Arrogant Lin Qian

“Ha ha ha, boss, you’re finally back,” Lei Qian, seeing Lin Qian appear in midair, felt his tense mood relax.

In his view, with Lin Qian here, that Qin Yunyu counts for nothing.

Lin Qian looked towards Gao Benli, and suddenly, a crystal bottle materialized in his hand, which he then tossed over.

Taking the recovery potion handed over by Lin Qian, Gao Benli grinned, pulled off the stopper from the crystal bottle, and drank the potion inside in one gulp.

The potion his younger disciple had left him had run out long ago.

Feeling the familiar power of the potion mending his internal injuries, his broken ribs also began to heal, Gao Benli relaxed and moved his shoulders comfortably.

“Brother Lin!”

“Brother Lin!”

“Brother Lin!”

Following this, Fang Ziqian, Li Yunfeng, and Yang Tianhao also came forward smiling and gathered around Lin Qian.

“Where on earth have you been all this time? You literally disappeared, and now you’ve finally shown your face,” Li Yunfeng stepped forward, punched Lin Qian in the chest, and asked curiously.

At this, Lin Qian looked towards the territory of the Qin Dynasty, and said meaningfully, “I’ve been preparing a surprise for the Qin Dynasty these days.”

“Be careful about that Qin Yunyu. Although he has been in the Awakening Realm for a while, he is not easy to deal with,” Fang Ziqian whispered a cautionary note after glancing at Qin Yunyu.

Lin Qian nodded, glanced at Qin Yunyu, yet his face showed no seriousness, “With his little strength, I don’t even consider him a threat.”

At that moment, among the young disciples of the three factions in the distance, Yu Wanli, Zhao Zhili, and Yu Wanyu stood there stunned as they saw Lin Qian conversing merrily with the three talents of the factions.

Lin Qian’s recent introduction of himself had already made everyone aware of his identity.

Emperor Lin Qian of the Huaxia Empire, that young man who had not been taken seriously.

“Qian Ling, Lin Qian, no wonder…” After muttering thoughtfully, Zhao Zhili finally came to a realization.

Nevertheless, many were confused—wasn’t it said that the murderer who killed the third prince of the Qin Dynasty had died trapped in the relic? How could he be here, had he really escaped from the relic successfully?

“Brother Lin, you’re breaking through again!” Yang Tianhao, who had been watching Lin Qian, suddenly realized and saw clearly what the swirling vortex around the abdomen was.

The Soul Tribulation of Life and Death Realm, the fierce wind that stirs the Martial Soul within the Dantian of the Human Clan.

Seeing Lin Qian’s current situation, Li Yunfeng also cried out in alarm, “Brother Lin, have you gone mad? If you are breaking through, find a proper place to cultivate, why run to this place?”

Seeing that Lin Qian was actually undergoing tribulation, and it was the Soul Tribulation of the Life and Death Realm, everyone around was shocked and looked at him in astonishment.

The Soul Tribulation was extraordinarily perilous, where the winds of ferocity arising could both temper and destroy the Martial Soul.

Therefore, to cross this Soul Tribulation, one must calm their mind, allowing the Soul Power within to fortify the Martial Soul, thereby resisting the erosion from the fierce winds and using it to strengthen one’s Martial Soul.

After enduring the Soul Tribulation, the strength of the Martial Soul would significantly increase, and the power of the Elemental Weapon Armament would rise considerably, greatly enhancing combat capabilities.

However, during the passage of the Soul Tribulation, it was most taboo to have external disturbances.

Especially the outward release of Soul Power, if the Soul Power were released, then the Martial Soul’s ability to resist the fierce winds would drastically weaken, and if that occurred, the Soul Martial Artist’s Martial Soul might have reached the brink of collapse.

Now it was clear that both sides were engaged in a fierce battle, yet Lin Qian, who was undergoing his Soul Tribulation, still carelessly ran to this place and had even attacked Qin Yunyu just moments ago.

Thinking of this, they were terrified and felt fortunate that Lin Qian had not been harmed.

“How is it that at crucial moments, you always end up breaking through to new realms and facing tribulations?” Thinking this, Li Yunfeng also expressed impatiently with concern.

Touched by Li Yunfeng’s annoyed yet caring words, Lin Qian felt a warmth in his heart and replied with a smile, “There’s no helping it. This Soul Tribulation appeared a month ago, and I’ve been enduring it properly.”

“But then I realized that your situation here was very dangerous. If I didn’t come over, the great Prince of the Qin Dynasty might have made a move to kill you all.” As he said this, Lin Qian turned to look at Qin Yunyu, “To prevent my friends from dying, I had no choice but to come while still facing the tribulation.”

“Hahaha…” Hearing Lin Qian’s words, Qin Yunyu seemed to hear the funniest joke in the world, looking at him and said, “You ran here while still undergoing the Soul Tribulation, what’s the difference between this and seeking death?”

“I just threw you out with one hand!” Just as Qin Yunyu finished speaking, Lin Qian spoke calmly.

Even as he spoke, his words were imbued with Soul Power, making it crystal clear to everyone present.

After Lin Qian finished speaking, everyone remembered that right after his sudden appearance, he indeed grabbed Qin Yunyu by the shoulder with one hand.

What exactly had happened afterwards, many did not see clearly, only noticing Qin Yunyu moving back some distance until his Soul Power erupted, stabilizing his stance.

Lin Qian’s words caused Qin Yunyu’s expression to darken slightly, immediately followed by reverting to a haughty demeanor: “Ambushing someone off-guard as you did, is that something to brag about? At the age of just thirty-one, I’ve broken through to the Awakening Realm. My strength is not something a nobody without even the Life and Death Realm of the Soul Realm can judge.”

With that, Qin Yunyu feigned annoyance and lightly tapped his temple with his index finger, “Ah, my memory, I almost forgot you are currently undergoing Soul Tribulation. If you succeed soon, you’ll reach the Life and Death Realm of the Soul Realm.”

After Qin Yunyu finished speaking, Lin Qian still maintained a calm tone, “But I just threw you out with one hand.”

Qin Yunyu’s expression froze, he took a deep breath and staring at Lin Qian said sternly, “I am the great Prince of the Qin Dynasty, the youngest of the Qin Dynasty to reach the Awakening Realm, my status is more noble, my strength stronger, do you understand that?”

“Understood, you say your status is noble, your strength strong!” After Qin Yunyu finished, Lin Qian nodded in agreement, then perplexed, asked, “What does this have to do with me throwing you out with one hand just now?”

“…” Qin Yunyu, agitated by Lin Qian’s repeated words, trembled and asked in a constrained voice, “What exactly are you trying to convey by repeating that?”

“To convey that in terms of strength, you are nothing but trash that I can throw out with just one hand.” Lin Qian’s usually calm face revealed a mocking expression as he disdainfully looked at Qin Yunyu, “The great Prince of the Qin Dynasty is very noble? In front of my Huaxia Empire, your Qin Dynasty is just a minor dynasty, not worth mentioning.”

At Lin Qian’s words, all present were astounded.
