Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 399: All-out attack!

Seeing this, the old ox naturally wouldn't chase after it.

He stood there, calmly fiddling with his shiny blond hair.

Then a bright smile appeared on his face, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, carrying a hint of disdain and mockery, and he said loudly:

"What the hell? This guy dares to attempt an assassination?"

"He doesn't even know his own limitations, he's really overestimating himself!"

The voice was as loud as a bell, echoing across the battlefield, and it was the best response to the shadowy cultivator.

But no sound came from within the poisonous fog; perhaps the other party was terrified, or perhaps for some other reason...

Only silence remained.

......

the other side.

Li Qingyuan's expression was solemn as he lightly stroked the spatial ring with his fingertips.

A flash of cold light appeared, and the "Emperor Sword Dragon Abyss" was firmly held in his palm.

As his strength increased rapidly, he had no idea how much of the divine weapon's power he could currently unleash.

Just how much light will the Dragon Abyss power hidden deep within the sword actually unleash?

However, the current situation is already extremely tense!

Given the extremely slim chances of victory for his own side in this desperate situation, he had no reason to hold back any longer.

It should be understood that the path of spiritual practice becomes increasingly thorny and difficult as one progresses.

Every step of advancement is incredibly difficult, and the difference in combat power between different realms is like the difference between clouds and mud.

To attempt to surpass a higher level from a lower level is, in most people's eyes, like an ant trying to shake a tree—a delusional fantasy.

But nothing in this world is absolute.

There are always some exceptionally talented and extraordinary individuals who can break the mold and create miracles.

......

At this moment, for Li Qingyuan...

What he was about to face was a life-or-death battle that transcended a vast realm.

It is to confront, and even kill, those king-level cultivators who can control their souls to defend themselves for a short time.

The chasm between these realms is clearly visible, so vast that it inspires despair.

This is undoubtedly a feat defying the heavens!

Next, Li Qingyuan has no choice but to go all out to have a glimmer of hope.

However, Li Qingyuan's eyes showed no fear whatsoever; instead, they burned with a fierce fighting spirit.

Deep down, he secretly longed to fight a cultivator at the King Realm.

He desperately wanted to take this opportunity to test his current strength and see if he truly possessed the astonishing ability to "slay the king"!

........

In an instant, Li Qingyuan entered the profound state of 'man and sword as one'.

It was as if he had become one with the Longyuan Sword in his hand, inseparable from it.

His aura suddenly changed, as if a transcendent sword immortal had descended to the mortal world, elegant and unparalleled.

Then, a thought crossed his mind.

The Dragon Abyss Sword shot out like a bolt of lightning, its sword energy sweeping out like a surging tide.

With an incomparably sharp aura, it charged straight at the dark figure that was attacking from the right like a ghost.

The cultivator moved like lightning, creating ripples in the space as he darted about.

He swung his fists, and countless heavy fist shadows appeared as if they were real, carrying a terrifying pressure that captivated people.

It hurtled towards them like a storm, as if it wanted to crush everything in front of them.

After Li Qingyuan fired his sword, he no longer paid attention to the battle situation on the right.

On his palm, a dazzling golden light shone, like a blazing sun.

Immediately afterwards, a series of terrifying golden palm prints rained down on the black-robed man wielding a short blade behind him.

Each palm print contained earth-shattering power, as if it would completely engulf the man in black robes!

........

at the same time.

Wang Anran's expression was stern, her jade-like hands steadily drawing the bow and nocking the arrow.

The jade-colored arrow gleamed with a chilling light, streaking through space like a shooting star, amidst the golden light that filled the sky.

With lightning speed, it shot straight at the cultivators attacking from behind, showing no mercy whatsoever.

After all, the cultivators who attacked from behind posed the greatest threat to everyone!

Wang Anran clearly intended to cooperate with Li Qingyuan to launch a surprise attack on the other party, and see if they could force the person to retreat or even injure him in one fell swoop!

She was, after all, a peerless genius ranked among the top twenty on the list of prodigies, and her ability to fight across realms was beyond doubt.

He had previously fought fiercely against a group of cultivators at the late stage of the ninth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm without being at a disadvantage.

Now that she is willing to play a supporting role, it will surely produce a different effect.

Even if you can't deliver a fatal blow, as long as you can have even the slightest impact on the opponent, you've already accomplished your mission.

At the same time, she couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

She never imagined that Li Qingyuan was a whole realm lower than her;

Yet it was able to unleash a terrifying power that was no weaker than its own, and perhaps even slightly stronger.

This completely changed her understanding of genius, making her realize something profound.

Indeed, there are always higher realms to conquer, and more capable people to rely on...

------

In the blink of an eye.

"Pfft..."

A bang!

The Dragon Abyss Sword, like a bolt of lightning tearing through the night sky, struck the arm of the rushing black shadow with perfect accuracy.

The Dragon Abyss Sword is so fast that it seems to transcend the constraints of time. The sword's blade is infused with both killing intent and wind-like sword intent, making it sharp and violent.

The cultivator opposite him had never taken Li Qingyuan's sword strike seriously, and even had a sneer on his lips.

In his view, this was nothing more than a futile struggle by a low-level cultivator who overestimated his abilities.

However, the Dragon Abyss Sword approached at the speed of light.

It pierced straight through his layers of dense, impenetrable fist shadows as if destroying dry branches!

His pupils instantly shrank to slits, his face filled with disbelief and terror.

He frantically tried to twist his body to avoid the fatal blow.

But it was all too late!

The Dragon Abyss Sword moved with unimpeded ease, piercing his arm and splattering a splash of bright red blood.

........

The cultivator let out a muffled groan in pain.

His figure retreated rapidly like a kite with a broken string, awkwardly avoiding the limelight.

His mind was in turmoil; he couldn't understand it at all.

Why does that seemingly ordinary young man possess such terrifying power?!

This was completely beyond his comprehension and common sense.

His thoughts raced, and his gaze swept across the Dragon Abyss Sword and his blood-soaked wound like that of a hawk.

In an instant, as if he had grasped some key information, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

He realized that it wasn't just a matter of the young man's strength, but that the sword was too extraordinary and defied the heavens!

........

The Dragon Abyss Sword was, after all, an imperial weapon that shook the vast ocean.

Its power is enough to destroy the heavens and the earth, and breaking through the defense of a cultivator at the first level of the King Realm is an easy task.

Moreover, it also has the support of Li Qingyuan's incomparably sharp sword intent.

The two complement each other, amplifying their power even further.

Therefore, the cultivator, due to his carelessness and underestimation of his opponent, naturally found it difficult to withstand this fierce attack.

If it were any other ordinary cultivator, they would probably have been terrified and fled without a trace.

However, the black-robed cultivator in front of them merely retreated into the poisonous mist spewed by the demonic insect, his figure hidden within it, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

It seems they are preparing to seize an opportunity to launch another attack!

This demonstrates that this group of people has extremely high professional standards.

To accomplish our mission, we will spare no expense!

Even when facing the most powerful enemy, we will never give up easily and will not stop until we achieve our goal!

........

This situation came as a complete surprise.

This instantly brought Li Qingyuan's thoughts back to the assassination attempt she had suffered in Jingxue City.

That experience, like a nightmare, left a deep impression on him.

Afterwards, he made inquiries from various sources and learned that the vicious assassins actually came from the infamous Shadow Assassins organization in Zhongzhou.

And now, here are the people standing before me.

Both his style of doing things and his cruel, bloodthirsty eyes were very similar to the assassin he had encountered in Jingxue City.

They are also skilled in assassination, and are ruthless and merciless in their actions!

Every attack is aimed at killing the enemy in one strike, showing no mercy.

A flash of inspiration struck Li Qingyuan, and he instantly realized that these people were probably from the Shadow Killer organization.

However, ever since he arrived in Zhongzhou, he has been carefully disguising himself to avoid unnecessary trouble.

How exactly did this group of people find him so precisely?

His heart was filled with doubts and confusion.
