The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 898: Invincible Stance

Chapter 898: Chapter 898: Invincible Stance

While waiting for Guiguzi, Shi Gandang, and the Demon King of Peng-Bird to arrive, Qin Jun felt extremely comfortable, and even his interest in watching the battle grew significantly.

"This Randeng, is really amusing," Sun Wukong clicked his tongue in wonder, watching Randeng ravage his opponent. He found it very entertaining and silently took note of these methods.

He would also humiliate his enemies like this in the future.

Exciting!

Yang Jian couldn’t help but laugh and cry, and couldn’t help but think of the methods Qin Jun used against Xuan Qing. Compared to Qin Jun, Randeng was already quite thick-skinned.

"Speak up!"

"Are you a weakling or not!"

Randeng, with the demeanor of a stern teacher, bellowed, his right hand wielding the ruler of the Universe to crazily whip Su Hanyi’s face. The speed was so fast that Su Hanyi was forced to keep tossing his head while blood sprayed continuously, making it unbearable to watch.

Su Hanyi wanted to answer, but in such a state, he simply couldn’t open his mouth.

The indescribable pain caused Su Hanyi to faint soon afterward, but his body was still pressed by the Universe ruler, retreating step by step.

The dominant lords all shook their heads and sighed; challenging anyone other than Randeng would have been a better choice—this fellow was too cruel.

He could easily defeat Su Hanyi, yet he insisted on using such methods, it would be kinder just to kill him.

The number of creatures watching the battle grew, encircling the Nine Emperors Platform, forming a wall that rose hundreds of feet and continued to stretch higher. It was impossible to count how many lives were watching.

The news of Sima Mengmo’s tragic death had already spread, alarming the surrounding domains.

Among the vast crowd, there were countless spies, tasked with constantly spreading the news about the Nine Emperors to the world.

Just as the fall of a dominant lord ranked among the top ten upset the beginning, once the news spread, more and more powerful beings became restless, all wanting to see the battle for themselves.

Ultimately, Randeng still gave face to the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny and didn’t kill Su Hanyi. He let his men help the latter down.

After retracting the Universe ruler, Randeng clapped his hands and walked towards his loft with an air of arrogance. He strutted even more than Su Hanyi before, but with his strength evident, who dared to slap his face?

"Next, who wishes to continue the challenge?"

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny asked, and for a moment, the Nine Emperors Platform fell silent.

About the specific rules for competing for the Nine Emperors, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny didn’t say, only letting them fight. The dominant lords weren’t fools and didn’t want to go up and waste their strength.

Just then, someone made a move.

It was the Sword Master!

Accompanied by Hua Yijian and Xia Yanye, the three of them entered the formation, making the dominant lords uneasy.

Nobody wanted to fight against the Sword Master, especially with the King of Resentment standing beside him.

Seeing the King of Resentment, the Nether Emperor’s face turned ugly in an instant. In his heart, the death of Young Master You shared some blame with the King of Resentment. Young Master You had called upon the King of Resentment, but he hadn’t protected him well. Could the Nether Emperor simply overlook this?

He not only hated the Yan Emperor but also hated Xia Yanye.

The Sword Master looked around and paused briefly on Xing Tian, but soon moved on, making Qin Jun smile with a hidden meaning. He had thought that the Sword Master would seek revenge against Xing Tian.

If that were the case, Qin Jun would be disappointed in the Sword Master.

Being fearless is good, but ignorance is the hallmark of the weak.

"You, come down!"

The Sword Master suddenly pointed at a dominant lord Qin Jun didn’t recognize and ordered. The dominant lord’s face instantly turned ashen.

The onlooking creatures were once again stirred up, and the noise shook the skies.

"Tsk tsk, ranked thirty-six, Tang Long, who owns the largest escort bureau in the entire world, is rarely seen taking action!"

"Against the Sword Master, Tang Long is finished!"

"It is said that Tang Long has connections to Destiny Lodge, though the truth of that is unknown."

"Destiny Lodge is too mysterious. Its lord has always remained inconspicuous. I’m truly curious who it could be."

"With the Sword Master’s character, it seems he intends to challenge all the past unchallenged opponents one by one..."

The creatures discussed among themselves. Even though the Sword Master had been disastrously defeated by Xing Tian, his prestige was still very high.

Many sword cultivators take the Sword Master as their ultimate goal, for every creature that wields a sword has heard of the Sword Master’s legends.

Before Qin Jun’s meteoric rise, among the eminent figures in the world, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny ranked first, followed by the Sword Master, who was even beyond the Nether Emperor in status, because the Sword Master loved to challenge the strongest across the world, fearing nothing, and had countless followers.

Tang Long gritted his teeth and stood up, followed by four subordinates who flew into the formation behind him—two cultivators and two Demon Kings, all from the Daluo Realm.

Facing the Sword Master, their foreheads were covered in cold sweat.

"Make your move!"

The Sword Master said softly, and the seven swords behind him began to tremble. When Tang Long approached within a hundred meters of him, the seven swords unsheathed, transforming into countless sword shadows that spread across the purple formation in the sky, covering an area of more than nine thousand miles, an utterly terrifying sight.

The creatures were invigorated, while Tang Long was nearly scared to piss his pants, and his four subordinates were shivering even more.

The Sword Master paid no attention to their reactions. With a gesture of his right hand, the countless sword shadows turned into a deluge, sweeping towards Tang Long and his four subordinates.

The momentum shook the heavens, and the entire platform of the Nine Emperors trembled with it.

"Run!"

Tang Long, terrified, turned to flee, but it was in vain. The torrent of sword shadows soon fell upon him, engulfing him completely.

Instant kill!

There was no suspense!

The Sword Master’s face was expressionless, as if he had done something trivial, eliciting cheers from millions of creatures.

His imposing manner as a formidable fighter had returned!

Quickly, the Sword Master retracted the sword shadows. Tang Long, covered in blood, lay on the ground, and his four subordinates hurried to help him away.

"Next, you!"

The Sword Master pointed to another lord, another whom Qin Jun did not recognize.

The countless sword shadows still hovered in the air above the platform of the Nine Emperors. The lord the Sword Master pointed at turned red in the face and said awkwardly, "I concede..."

"Then you, come!"

"I dare not... Sword Master, you are far stronger than I. I would not humiliate myself..."

"You, come up!"

"Please do not demean your junior... I truly am no match for you..."

...

Watching the Sword Master win repeatedly without a fight, the lords’ expressions changed from sunny to overcast, while the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny actually smiled.

The Sword Master was indeed one of the contenders he had expected for the Nine Emperors.

Qin Jun also watched, clicking his tongue in wonder at the Sword Master’s majesty.

Xing Tian sneered, while Sun Wukong and Yang Jian were itching to rush up for a grand battle.

Thus, the Sword Master continued to challenge more than a dozen lords, none of whom dared to fight back.

"Sword Master, you might as well come down now, no one will accept your challenge," the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny couldn’t help but interject.

Those stronger than the Sword Master certainly wouldn’t reveal their strength so soon, and those weaker wouldn’t seek their own death.

The Sword Master still showed respect to the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny. With a leap, he landed on his own pavilion with Hua Yijian and Xia Yanye.

As soon as the Sword Master descended, some lords began to stir eagerly.

At that moment, a figure appeared at the center of the platform of the Nine Emperors in the blink of an eye, and Qin Jun immediately narrowed his eyes.

"Donghuang Taiyi, you’re getting restless so soon?"

Qin Jun murmured, as the one ascending the stage was Donghuang Taiyi.

Donghuang Taiyi, dressed in flamboyant golden attire that fully displayed the Demon Emperor’s domineering presence, stood with his hands clasped behind his back, surveying all the lords with an arrogant expression, and proclaimed, "Who dares to battle with this Emperor!"

In an instant, the platform of the Nine Emperors fell silent, and not a bird stirred.
