Chapter 127: Chapter 126: Slaughtering 1000 Enemies in a Rage (Part 2)
However, Nan Tianhao had no idea of the frog’s origins, nor did he know the proper technique or method for catching it. He assumed that with his Heroic Hero level of Dao Practice, catching a tiny frog in a mud hole would be child’s play.
CROAK— However, the moment Nan Tianhao’s hand reached in, there was a croak. In a flash, the frog leaped away at a speed several times faster than lightning. It was so fast that everyone saw nothing but a blur. Forget about chasing it—they couldn’t even get a clear look.
Nan Tianhao’s hand came up empty. He froze for a moment, stunned. He never imagined an ordinary-looking frog could be so fast!
"No—!" Li Qiye, who had just been sent flying, scrambled back to his feet. Seeing this, he was both shocked and enraged. He had expended so much effort this time, only for someone to ruin everything.
"So, you’re not dead. You’re tougher than you look." With the frog gone, Nan Tianhao retracted his hand. He looked at Li Qiye getting up, a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then said, "Good. Let’s see just how thick your hide is. Teach him a lesson. Beat him until he can’t even crawl."
Nan Tianhao sneered and gave the order to his disciples. The dozens of followers flashed sinister smiles and immediately surrounded Li Qiye.
"He took a palm strike from a Prince and isn’t dead?" Seeing Li Qiye get up, seemingly unharmed, shocked even the many Cultivators watching from a distance. One of them remarked, "This kid really doesn’t know what’s good for him. He has a chance to escape and he’s just standing there. Isn’t he just asking to die?"
At that moment, as the disciples of the Nantian Country closed in, one of them sneered, "Little Ghost, let’s see just how tough you are. Today, you’ll get a taste of our methods. Even if you were forged from iron, we’ll make you scream and beg for mercy!"
Li Qiye’s expression turned frigid, as dark as a gathering storm. "You all deserve to die," he said coldly. The frog had escaped. Catching it again was now a distant, if not impossible, hope. This thought alone sent Li Qiye into a towering rage.
"Break his arms and legs, then drag him to me!" Nan Tianhao commanded, his face hardening with cruelty.
"Little Ghost, you have only yourself to blame for offending someone you shouldn’t have," a disciple from the Nantian Country said with a cruel grin, swinging his Treasure Artifact at Li Qiye. "In your next life, remember not to make an enemy of our Nantian Country!"
"Get lost—!" Li Qiye roared in fury. In a flash, he charged forward, ramming straight into the attack. The disciple’s face twisted into a cruel smile. ’Charging headfirst into my Treasure Artifact? He’s courting death!’
BANG— The Treasure Artifact shattered. SPLAT— A shower of blood rained down. The disciple, upon impact, was like a rag doll struck by a Giant Hammer. He was instantly turned into a bloody paste, shattered bone fragments scattering through the gory mist.
"Stop him!" the other disciples yelled in alarm, unleashing their own Treasure Artifacts at Li Qiye.
BOOM—BOOM—BOOM— But Li Qiye was in a berserk rage. He used no Techniques, only his body as he rampaged through them. Above his Life Palace, a Kunpeng soared. Under the power of the Celestial Transformation, his speed became incredible. The Prison Suppressing Divine Body transformed his flesh into the most terrifying weapon imaginable—impossibly heavy and unbelievably hard. Such a physique was thousands of times more terrifying than any tyrannosaur!
"AH—!" The last disciple finally managed to let out a scream, but it was cut short as his head instantly exploded, splattering brains and blood all over the ground.
Treasure Artifacts and bodies alike were pulverized under the impact of the Prison Suppressing Divine Body. With the weight of a hundred million Giant Peaks behind it, no Treasure Artifact, no mortal body, could withstand the collision.
Before this, not even the Heaven-Carrying Ape, with its immensely powerful physique, could contend with Li Qiye’s Prison Suppressing Divine Body. These disciples from the Nantian Country stood no chance.
The sudden turn of events left everyone speechless. No Techniques, no Ritual Techniques, no Power of the Great Dao, no Law Dao Chapters—just a pure, invincible physical body, forcefully smashing through any enemy who stood in his way!
"You. Deserve. To die!" Li Qiye’s gaze locked onto Nan Tianhao. His eyes were terrifying, more frightening than any Demon’s. He stalked toward Nan Tianhao, step by step. With each footfall, the earth sank beneath him, as if it were made of paper under the weight of his Prison Suppressing Divine Body.
"Kill him!" A chill ran down Nan Tianhao’s spine as Li Qiye’s gaze fell upon him, and he shrieked the command.
The two Princes’ expressions changed. With a unified shout, they unleashed their Prince’s Weapons at Li Qiye. "Get lost—!" Li Qiye bellowed, charging straight into them.
BANG—BANG— The two Prince’s Weapons were not enough to stop Li Qiye. They were powerful, to be sure, and their strikes drew blood, but the sheer toughness of the Prison Suppressing Divine Body meant they could not deal a fatal blow.
Struck by such an overwhelmingly powerful body, cracks instantly spiderwebbed across the two Treasure Artifacts. The two Princes’ hearts ached at the sight; these were weapons they had spent countless years of effort on for their Refinement.
Though bleeding, Li Qiye was like an unstoppable tyrannosaur, his charge toward Nan Tianhao unabated. The two Prince’s Weapons could not hold him back.
"Kill—!" Seeing Li Qiye’s unstoppable momentum, Nan Tianhao roared and spat out a Treasure Wheel from his mouth. The instant it appeared, it swelled to the size of a millstone and hurtled whistling toward Li Qiye.
BANG— With a thunderous crash, the Treasure Wheel shattered upon impact with Li Qiye, whose momentum didn’t slow in the slightest as he continued his charge toward Nan Tianhao.
Nan Tianhao’s expression changed drastically. He flipped his hand, producing a Treasure Mirror to block the attack. CRACK! The result was predictable. The Treasure Mirror shattered, and Nan Tianhao was sent flying, violently coughing up a mouthful of blood. The sickening sound of breaking bones made one’s skin crawl. If the Treasure Mirror hadn’t taken the brunt of the impact, Nan Tianhao would have undoubtedly been killed.
"Young Master, go!" The two Princes’ expressions changed drastically. Both flipped their hands, each revealing a new Treasure Artifact. As the two artifacts appeared, the might of a Saint Venerable erupted, soaring into the sky. Strands of Law descended with a metallic clang, and the Saint Venerable’s power bore down, powerful enough to crush mountains and rivers. As the Laws descended, the very ground began to fracture.
"A Holy Venerable Treasure!" Many in the crowd were stirred upon seeing the artifacts the two Princes had produced. A Holy Venerable Treasure was something capable of killing even a True Master!
BOOM— Li Qiye’s powerful body slammed into the descending Laws. Instantly, both Treasure Artifacts trembled violently, as if they might fall from the sky at any moment.
This scene horrified not only the Princes, but everyone who witnessed it. ’What kind of physique is that? To be able to shake even a Holy Venerable Treasure... That’s too terrifying!’
As for Nan Tianhao, he turned pale with fright at the sight and immediately turned to flee.
"Refine him!" the two Princes roared, horrified. Their two Treasure Artifacts merged into one, and all the Laws coalesced into a gigantic furnace, trapping Li Qiye inside. In an instant, the furnace erupted with a sky full of True Fire, intending to achieve his Refinement!
Seeing Nan Tianhao trying to escape, how could Li Qiye possibly let him go? He let out a furious roar: "Kill—!" With both hands, he grasped the Qimen Saber.
VMMMM— The Qimen Saber suddenly trembled, sensing Li Qiye’s fury. In that instant, as if two Emperor’s Sabers had been unsheathed, a brilliant radiance shot from the blade, and its Emperor Essence flared.
"Emperor’s Power—!" As the Emperor’s Radiance slashed out, the two Princes felt their souls about to scatter. They were too close to the Qimen Saber. As the Emperor’s Radiance descended, they felt only one thing: death.
SHIING— The Emperor’s Radiance flashed past, and the Emperor’s Power vanished as quickly as it appeared. But it was enough. The twin beams of Emperor’s Radiance slashed down, drawing a spray of blood and severing the Laws. Even the Holy Venerable Treasure was cleaved in two.
The heads of the two Princes flew into the air as their bodies fell backward onto the ground, blood fountaining high into the sky.
Although the Emperor’s Radiance was fleeting, it was more than enough to shake everyone to their core. In that instant, they all trembled as if a blade had just been drawn across their very souls, leaving them cold, weak, and powerless.
SHIING— With a single slash, Li Qiye’s saber cut across the sky. The fleeing Nan Tianhao looked back in horror. Everything had happened too fast; in the blink of an eye, it was all over. He hadn’t gotten far at all.
"Open—!" Nan Tianhao roared, activating his Divine Armor for protection. But with a SHHIIICK, it proved useless. All laws were rendered void. With his strength at the mere Heroic Hero Level, he had no hope of blocking the Qimen Saber and its flash of Emperor Essence.
THUNK— With a sickening sound, Nan Tianhao’s entire body was pinned to the ground. He lay there, facing the sky, motionless as blood gurgled from his wound. At that moment, he was only a single breath away from death.
At that moment, everyone trembled. Li Shuangyan and Niu Fen, who had just arrived after sensing the disturbance, paled. They didn’t dare to interfere. Li Qiye’s rage was a towering inferno. He was determined to personally slaughter Nantian Xiong and his ilk. Who would dare to get in his way?
At this moment, Li Qiye was like a devil god. The sheer rage emanating from him was terrifying, and no one dared to look him in the eye. It was hard to believe such a dreadful aura was coming from a boy of only fifteen or sixteen.
Li Qiye approached Nan Tianhao, looking down coldly at the man pinned to the ground. Finally, the towering rage that had consumed him began to subside.
"Had you simply been my enemy, I might have been merciful enough to spare your life," Li Qiye said slowly, looking down at Nan Tianhao. "But for ruining my plans? For that, even the son of an Immortal Emperor would be killed without mercy!"
"You... you... you dare kill me? My... my Nantian Country will... will exterminate your nine generations! We’ll slaughter your Cleansing Incense Ancient—" Nan Tianhao spat, lying on the ground.
CRUNCH— But before Nan Tianhao could finish his threat, Li Qiye grabbed his head and, with a single motion, tore it from his body, spine and all. Blood dripped everywhere. Nan Tianhao’s eyes remained wide open, not even having had the chance to scream.
"The Nantian Country isn’t qualified to threaten me," Li Qiye said slowly, casually tossing Nan Tianhao’s head aside.
The entire area fell silent. Everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound. In the distance, the observing Cultivators felt a chill run down their spines, their skin crawling with horror.
