Chapter 487: Chapter 487: That One Sword [Third Update]

Ferocious!

Scalding!

This was what Yang Jian felt at the moment, as if his body was about to explode, while a familiar yet strange powerful sensation surged into his heart.

It was as if he had possessed such power a long time ago!

"Such power..."

Magical qi waves, like long dragons, coiled around Yang Jian, filling him with excitement.

At this moment, he suddenly felt he could destroy heaven and earth, and not even the nine Star Officials could block his power!

He turned back to look at the nine Star Officials confronting Qin Jun in the distance, his face revealing a ferocious grin, hinting it was time for them to learn the meaning of cruelty.

"If you hand it over obediently, we’ll let you die a quick death,"

one of the Star Officials said with a lick of his lips and a chilling smile, regarding the Wheel of Fate, they couldn’t possibly let Qin Jun live.

Gazing at the nine Star Officials who looked at him like prey, Qin Jun let out a cold laugh and taunted, "If you can touch me today, I’ll consider it my loss!"

Acting tough?

Who can’t?

Qin Jun puffed out his chest and held his head high, hands behind his back, with the air of a pig not afraid of scalding water, making others sweat for him.

"What is His Majesty doing..." Qi Xie asked Zhao Yun in a low voice.

Zhao Yun shook his head, "We only need to watch."

As a military general, Zhao Yun only needed to follow Qin Jun’s orders. He had heard of many of Qin Jun’s exploits and understood that even though Qin Jun seemed arrogant, his mind was full of cunning strategies. Even the three powerful ministers—Liu Bowen, Evening Star, and Zhuge Liang—couldn’t see through Qin Jun’s thoughts.

Qin Jun rarely made mistakes, especially at critical moments concerning life and death.

The Star Officials exchanged glances upon hearing Qin Jun’s brazen words; their expressions seemed to question whether this young man had lost his mind.

Yao Xu, covered in blood and in a wretched state, reached out towards Qin Jun, and in an instant, Qin Jun felt an invisible force bind him, while also being pulled towards the Star Officials.

Qin Jun frowned, struggling mightily, but his body floated uncontrollably. Just as his toes were about to lift off the ground, a figure accompanied by a wild wind appeared before Qin Jun.

The howling gale passed by, causing Qin Jun’s white robe to flutter and snap.

Qin Jun’s lips curled upward, knowing without a doubt that the newcomer was Yang Jian.

"Erlang Shen!" Qin Jun exclaimed, suppressing his excitement.

"Your servant is here!" Yang Jian bellowed angrily, his voice sharp as a sword, so fierce it caused the Star Officials’ eardrums to ache. All were shocked as they looked at Yang Jian.

A terrifying intent to kill enveloped them like a net from heaven and earth; looking around, they saw that Yang Jian was now shrouded in a sinister white aura, his third eye wide open. Anyone who met his gaze couldn’t help but feel terrified.

His aura had increased more than tenfold!

"How is that possible..." exclaimed one of the Star Officials in shock.

How could Yang Jian, who had achieved complete mastery in the Scattered Immortal Realm, suddenly experience such a surge in power? The aura he emitted now was no less intense than that of an early-stage Mysterious Immortal, perhaps even stronger.

It must have been the pill that Qin Jun had thrown to Yang Jian earlier.

"You sneaky brat!" another Star Official cursed, clearly understanding that Qin Jun had been deliberately stalling for time.

They couldn’t blame themselves; how could they have imagined that a single pill would cause Yang Jian’s strength to skyrocket?

Even if there were such a pill, why would it be in Qin Jun’s hands?

"Kill them for me, and do it within the time it takes half an incense stick to burn!" Qin Jun ordered with a sinister laugh, his smile appearing eerily bewitching against the purple flame pattern at his brow.

It had to be said, at this moment, the expressions of Qin Jun and Yang Jian were strikingly similar.

Arrogant, as if regarding all things in the world like ants!

As a Saint Emperor, Qin Jun had such ambition, and Yang Jian, with his peerless magical power, also had such confidence.

The aura of the two converged, terrifying the nine Astral Officials out of their wits.

The talents of the Southern Domain stared blankly at the backs of Qin Jun and Yang Jian. Even Xuan Qing had a dumbfounded expression on his face. This scene was destined to be etched deep in their hearts for a long time.

Jin Chanzi sighed in his heart, "Truly a ruler blessed with qi movement!"

Since ancient times, rulers blessed with qi movement were not unheard of, each one a hero who shook the heavens and earth. Qin Jun, though still young, had already demonstrated that kind of domineering aura.

"At your command!"

Yang Jian responded with a sneer. As his voice fell, he bent his legs and blasted off, rocketing towards the nine Astral Officials with an unstoppable momentum.

The gusts of wind made Qin Jun’s long hair dance wildly. He asked in his heart, "System, has Yang Jian reached his mythological peak level at this moment?"

Yang Jian’s momentum was like a rainbow, and his speed was so fast it was astonishing.

He targeted the Four-Star Official first, holding the War God’s Trispear single-handedly, with an expression so cold it was the extreme of indifference, and his killing intent so tangible that it caused the Four-Star Official’s scalp to tingle.

Too late to dodge, the Four-Star Official could only summon all his magical power to smash the green ruler downwards.

A soft thump!

The Four-Star Official raised the green ruler high, but before it could land, Yang Jian had already passed by in a flash, blood spraying as a bloody hole appeared between his brows.

At the same time, a streak of light was hanging off of Yang Jian’s spear’s tip. Upon closer inspection, it was shockingly the Four-Star Official’s Primordial Spirit.

Everything happened too fast for Qin Jun and the others to react. The remaining Astral Officials were even more dumbfounded, their minds unable to keep up.

Yang Jian sneered and with a flick of his right hand, he directly blasted the Four-Star Official’s Primordial Spirit to smithereens. Then, he turned and charged toward the remaining Astral Officials, his fierce gaze terrifying them into retreating explosively.

Unfortunately, Yang Jian did not give them a chance to escape. He transformed into a golden light, leapt into the starry sky, and traced a perfect arc before descending again.

"You scum! All of you shall die by this lord’s hand!"

Yang Jian roared furiously, his voice shaking one’s heart.

At this moment, he was like a war god descended from the heavens, majestic and extraordinary, his body emitting a dazzling bright light.

Even Qin Jun couldn’t help but open his mouth slightly in awe. This was the Erlang he envisioned in his heart, majestic and bright as the blazing sun.

Seeing that the situation was dire, the Seven-Star Official Yao Xu turned and fled immediately.

The other Astral Officials did not have his quick reflexes and instinctively bombarded with magical power, intending to clash head-on with Yang Jian.

A slash fell, and mountains crumbled as the earth split apart!

This slash was incredibly brilliant and of unparalleled elegance!

As the edge of the blade came down, the ground shattered, and a wave of lava-like magical power surged from underground. With a diameter of three thousand meters, it instantly engulfed the seven Astral Officials, their screams echoing through heaven and earth.

Qin Jun and the others quickly drew back, but it was too late. The violent windstorm flipped all the Earth Immortal Realm talents like leaves in a storm, frail and helpless.

Jin Chanzi hurriedly supported Qin Jun while clenching his teeth to look up at the sky. Amidst the intense light, Yang Jian’s tall and proud figure was like that of a deity, exalted and supremely sacred.

"This guy..."

Jin Chanzi was profoundly shocked. Such power was rare even in Buddhism.

Qin Jun was even more excited. The Limit Pill was truly freaking awesome!

The Senior Astral Officials and the Two-Star Official within the Hall of Celestial Observation were dumbstruck, their faces dripping with cold sweat.

This kind of power made them all feel fear.

That slash just now was as fast as a startling swan, giving no chance to dodge, and its destructive power was terrifying. The range was wide too, and the fate of those seven Astral Officials was likely very grim.
