The Peerless Emperor

Leaping forward, Lv Bu raised his Fangtian Halberd high with no mercy and slashed it down in front of the Berserk Kuang Zhan.

At that moment, Lv Bu held nothing back, and his own strength erupted completely.

"Peerless!"

A dazzling light flashed in Lv Bu's eyes, and his aura vibrated around him.

The Fangtian Halberd seemed like a chasm from the heavens, standing between the earth and sky, its overbearing and unmatched Soul Energy instantly tearing through over thirty thousand people.

It was just one strike!

In mid-air, Lv Bu stood aloft, his Fangtian Halberd already retracted and carried on his back.

With him there, it was as if ten thousand men could not open the way.

Lv Bu's peerlessness was domineering as such.

When Kuang Zhan looked at Lin Qian, he saw the latter's calmness, as still as water and as tranquil as a flat valley, absent of any surprise or pleasure.

Such a feat seemed extraordinary and unimaginable to him, but in Lin Qian's eyes, it appeared as if it was all within expectations, hardly worth any delight.

As Kuang Zhan saw, what was the wonder in a strike killing thirty thousand people?

They were not any rare prodigies or elite troops, after all.

Among horses, Red Rabbit; among men, Lv Bu!

If such a high-ranking official of the Huaxia Empire's army like Lv Bu couldn't do all this, that would truly be shocking.

"Let's continue," Lin Qian gestured with a wave of his hand, seemingly brushing off everything that had just happened as if it were insignificant, and lightly moved on towards the front.

Meanwhile, the others who had followed Kuang Zhan were still immersed in the scene that had just unfolded.

Lv Bu's strike had made such a deep impression on them, it was simply breathtaking.

They had never seen anyone obliterate their enemies with such an imposing manner, even if their realm was much weaker than their opponents.

After dealing with the small nuisance blocking the way, a city appeared in front of Lin Qian, its scale no different from the previous one.

"Same strategy, Imperial Pupil!"

After spotting the city ahead, a golden hue shimmered again in Lin Qian's pupils as he meticulously observed the Array structure of the city, letting the people of the Heavenly Art Department decode it while he would then command the breach of the Array.

Everything was like the start, flowing smoothly, without a single hindrance.

It was as if the solid Array was no more than paper, fragile under the arrows of the Red Rabbit Army, collapsing from just a single blow.

As for the assault on the Soul Soldiers in the city, Kuang Zhan and the others also courageously charged forward to slay the enemy.

Followers are usually expected to share their master's concerns, yet here they were, reaping the benefits without labor. Such a situation was unacceptable to Kuang Zhan and left the others feeling ashamed.

Lin Qian also didn't stop them, but nodded slightly to himself.

In fact, everyone present wasn't foolish. They could see that if they charged out, there was no telling what might happen, but if they didn't go out, there certainly wouldn't be any threat to their lives.

Yet they still charged out because they still had a sense of honor and hoped to rely on their own strength to secure their own rewards.

Actually, this was also a test from Lin Qian; if they didn't even possess this level of resolve, they simply weren't qualified to be his followers.

Fortunately, every trialist present charged forth without hesitation, which fit perfectly with what he had anticipated.

What those trialists who charged forth didn't know was that their act, driven by shame, would lead to a glorious future for them.

After seizing the city, Lin Qian and the others didn't drag their feet. After leaving behind their soul auras to receive the infusion of Soul Energy, they immediately left and continued to fly swiftly in their chosen direction.

Wherever they went, the massive team led by Lin Qian, surrounded by a solemn aura, caused the Soul Beasts below to tremble in fear, not daring to act rashly.

At the same time, the imperial might within Lin Qian's body erupted completely, along with the Red Rabbit Army's killing intent, was like a blade circling around them, making others afraid to touch its edge.

He displayed such pressure not because he was high-profile, but to let those with insufficient strength know to back off and not to waste their time by getting in the way.

But there were some who overestimated themselves and couldn't stand the sight of Lin Qian and his group moving arrogantly forward, blocking their path in an attempt to stop them.

It was usually at these times that Lv Bu and Kuang Zhan would be eager to rush out, showing off their terrifying combat strength as they fought fiercely.

The Red Rabbit Army also adjusted their formation, preventing these people from having any chance to escape and also guarding against potential stealth attacks from the surroundings.

However, the journey was smooth sailing, with no one daring to attack Lin Qian's group. As for those who blocked the way, they were annihilated by Lv Bu and Kuang Zhan.

"Not bad," Lv Bu, carrying his halberd, commented as he looked at Kuang Zhan beside him, "It seems that our Huaxia Empire will gain another potential powerful warrior."

In Lv Bu's eyes, Kuang Zhan was very impressive. After his bloodline had been replenished by the emperor, his strength was improving at a remarkable pace. Although his Realm hadn't broken through, his might was becoming ever more terrifying.

Furthermore, Lv Bu noticed that Kuang Zhan's combat awareness was extremely keen, with each battle resulting in new gains, clearly a natural combat genius.

Especially his ability to go Berserk, which made Lv Bu click his tongue in approval, "Enhanced in all aspects when entering a berserk state of combat, it shares a unique similarity with Zhao Long's unmatched prowess."

Of course, Kuang Zhan himself was not aware of what Lv Bu was thinking, nor did he know what such comments meant for him.

At the moment, the only thought in his mind was to become stronger, to obtain more marks and to succeed in climbing to the second in line.

As for the first in line, he did not dare to even consider it, because that was the emperor's position.

Lin Qian's speed in taking over cities was incredibly shocking; while others might take days to breach a city, it merely took him half an hour.

If not for the fact that Trial Land was vast and the cities were relatively scattered, it was likely that he could have taken over all the cities within a month or two.

"It's good that he wasted quite some time on the road, and some overconfident people tried to stop him; otherwise, this trial wouldn't be able to continue," the old man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, smiling wryly and shaking his head as he watched the scene unfold, "What kind of monster has sprung up? It's clear now that the breaking of the Array wasn't a coincidence, but that he and his followers genuinely have such terrifying ability."

"But isn't this the kind of person that the Sea Spiral Holy Institute has been waiting for many years? His appearance today should be a cause for celebration," the middle-aged man said with a smile as he watched the scene, "Saint..."

"Mind your words!" At that moment, an old man covered the younger one's mouth and shook his head vigorously, "You and I know, it's due to a multitude of factors that have led to this, we should not speak openly of it. If something goes wrong, what then?"
