The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 500 - 501 Huaxia Burning Incense

Chapter 500 -501 Huaxia Burning Incense

As soon as Lin Qian finished speaking, Nan Mudi’s expression visibly stalled; the grace he had been deliberately maintaining gradually twisted.

“This fellow named Nan Xin, having his soul refined into pure soul origin, became a supplement for Our Empress to enhance her soul power. It must be said, the soul origin refined from such a powerful being is indeed a great tonic,” Lin Qian said with an innocent face, spreading his hands towards Nan Mudi at the front.

Boom!

In an instant, the aura around Nan Mudi erupted like a volcano, his chest heaving violently with rage. He could no longer suppress the fury surging out from within him, abandoning the calm facade he had maintained up until now.

Nan Mudi made his move, his robust soul power overwhelming like an eclipse, turning into a void flood that rolled menacingly towards Lin Qian. Within it, numerous figures loomed indistinctly, as if they were the howling wraiths of lonely souls.

Just as the lament of a hundred ghosts materialized, a radiant blaze of white sword light came from the heavens, shattering the flood in an instant, turning it into a sky full of resentment that dissipated into thin air.

Whoosh!

The sound of something tearing through the air rang out, and a middle-aged man from the Human Clan in a white robe suddenly rushed over from afar, positioning himself in front of Lin Qian: “After all, being at the Ninth Level of the Awakening Realm and possessing Overlord Level combat power, why bother troubling a junior?”

“Grievances must be directed to the right place; it is I who absorbed your son’s essence of flesh and blood to recover from my injuries, why not come after me?” the man blocking in front of Lin Qian said with a smile, looking at the furiously angry Nan Mudi across from him.

Nan Mudi did not continue his outrage but instead concentrated on the middle-aged Human Clan man in front of him, frowning, “Who are you, and where did you come from?”

“Zhang Juncheng, just an old fellow saved by this young Emperor,” the middle-aged man said, turning back to exchange a smile with Lin Qian.

Previously, during the national battle mode, Lin Qian had discovered Zhang Juncheng in a corner of the Ancient Forest World, who was in seclusion to cultivate and heal his injuries.

To encounter Zhang Juncheng here was truly an unexpected joy; having such an elder present would undoubtedly stabilize the situation greatly.

“It looks like your original strength was indeed very formidable, a pity that now you’re not yet recovered to your peak condition. Even now, you only have Heroic Level combat power,” Nan Mudi said coldly as he stared at Zhang Juncheng.

Zhang Juncheng maintained his smile and shook his head slowly, “Of course, an Eighth Level of the Awakening Realm against a Ninth Level has no chance of victory. But Eighth Level against Eighth Level, that’s a different story.”

“Eighth Level against Eighth Level?” Before Nan Mudi could comprehend, he saw Lin Qian raising an eyebrow at him, seemingly signaling him to look at his body.

Not understanding why, Nan Mudi still looked down at his body, and when he saw the condition of his own skin, his face dramatically changed.

Unknown to him, his bare arms were now covered with blood-red patterns, densely interwoven like a spider’s web, and truly frightening.

After discovering this abnormality on his body, Nan Mudi hurriedly tore open his clothes, inspecting himself closely and shockingly found the same patterns crawling all over his body.

Especially on his chest, these unknown blood patterns had even formed the image of three incense sticks, very peculiar indeed.

But despite such abnormality on his body, he felt no discomfort, which he found very strange. How could such an eerie pattern put him in no discomfort whatsoever?

What Nan Mudi didn’t know was that, on his back, several blood-red patterns were extending along existing lines, gradually converging together, slowly connecting.

“It’s very strange, experiencing such abnormalities in my body without a single incident occurring?” Seeing Nan Mudi’s expression, Lin Qian naturally knew what the other was thinking and said with amusement, “The erosion of your body needs time, it hasn’t been completed yet, of course nothing has happened.”

“Time?” Nan Mudi suddenly raised his head, looking at Lin Qian as if he had understood.

“That’s right, it needs time, and anger can even shorten that time.” Lin Qian nodded, yawned, and said to Nan Mudi in front of him, “Otherwise, do you think I would bother talking so much if I had nothing better to do?”

As Lin Qian’s words ended, the blood-colored lines behind him finally connected.

The blood-colored lines formed from the pattern on Nan Mudi’s chest suddenly ignited, as if three incense sticks were burning on his chest.

“This thing is called ‘Huaxia Burning Incense’.” Lin Qian said indifferently as he looked at Nan Mudi, who was in intense pain and growling lowly.

At the same time, Zhang Juncheng also launched an attack, making a move when his enemy was down—when else if not now?

The sword’s radiance was splendid, turning into myriad rays of light that swept through, forcing Nan Mudi to retreat.

At this moment, Nan Mudi could only concentrate his Soul Power outside his body, using his physical strength to resist the blows.

The Black Blood Clan itself excelled in physical strength, and the body of the Black Corner Emperor, which he had taken, had been tempered and refined; the formidable talent of the Black Corner Clan had vanished.

After all, even though Nan Mudi had taken the Black Corner Emperor’s body, he was not from the Black Corner Clan, lacking a matching soul, so he couldn’t utilize those inherent talents.

Thus, he couldn’t use the Soul Power talent of the Black Corner Clan and had to rely on the robust physical strength of his Black Blood Clan and the mysteries of their blood.

When the three burning incenses formed by the blood-colored lines on his chest ignited, his aura began to vanish, too; his battle strength, formerly at the Overlord Level, plummeted to the Heroic Level, and it was even weaker than Zhang Juncheng’s.

“Continue the attack, don’t bother with this guy anymore.” Seeing Zhang Juncheng holding off Nan Mudi, Lin Qian commanded his forces, ordering the Imperial Army and the War Beast Army to press the attack and completely slay the frenzied warriors from the five clans.

Looking at Nan Mudi below, who was roaring in frustration, Lin Qian’s face showed a smile.

He had noticed earlier, as had Zhuge Ming, that whenever a frenzied warrior from the five clans was slain, there would be a departure of blood qi.

Therefore, Storm and Shadow had specifically mixed the Array virus into the blood qi.

Clearly, this blood qi, tainted with the Array virus, had been absorbed into Nan Mudi’s body, serving as his source of power for a blood and soul exchange.

Just that Nan Mudi couldn’t have imagined that his actions, which sacrificed other living beings for his gain, would ultimately entrap himself. freēwēbnovel.com

Before long, Nan Mudi had been captured alive by Zhang Juncheng, with his aura weakening increasingly, and now he had only the battle strength of a Master Level.

“Violence, cannot solve everything.” Lin Qian looked at the captured Nan Mudi before him and scoffed, “I didn’t even need to lift a finger to deal with you.”

Lin Qian reached out and patted Nan Mudi’s face in front of him, shaking his head in pity, “Eight thousand years of plotting, truly a pity. Hmm? Not paying attention for a moment and you’ve weakened to the Sixth Level of the Awakening Realm?”
