Chapter 1448 - 1381: State Preceptor's Doomsday?

Above the sky.

The dark clouds grew thicker.

The wild winds howled, and the thunder roared.

Elder Qin and the State Preceptor were fiercely battling with unstoppable momentum.

Both had pushed their speed to the utmost limit.

Other than a Pseudo God, no one could catch their shadows, only the deafening clash could be heard.

Each collision would shatter the void where they stood.

Even the heavens trembled!

Yet, Emperor Hong did not intervene.

After joining forces with Elder Qin to force the State Preceptor into the sky, he withdrew to a distance, calmly watching the two, his expression returning to its usual tranquility.

The Kylin army commander frowned and said, "Now that the evidence is conclusive, why doesn't Emperor Hong join forces with Elder Qin to swiftly execute the State Preceptor?"

"He's someone who thinks highly of himself and is arrogant, how could he act easily?"

Qin Feiyang snorted coldly.

Wanting Emperor Hong to act—unless Elder Qin is defeated.

"Sigh!"

The Kylin army commander sighed secretly after hearing that.

Such a great opportunity, how can they not seize it properly?

At this moment!

Qin Jun, who lay paralyzed on the ground, suddenly shivered and climbed up, looking at Qin Feiyang with a tinge of pleading in his eyes.

Qin Feiyang glanced at Qin Jun and said, "If you hadn't gotten up, I might have forgotten about you."

Qin Jun's gaze trembled, sending a message: "Feiyang, it was all just a misunderstanding before."

"Misunderstanding?"

Qin Feiyang laughed bitterly and said, "You incited Emperor Hong to kill me in public—was that a misunderstanding? And the murder intent in your eyes back then could be seen even by a fool — was that also a misunderstanding?"

"It really was a misunderstanding."

"I did that purely to motivate you..."

Qin Jun's face stiffened, hurriedly defending himself.

"Motivate me?"

Qin Feiyang chuckled and said, "Then according to you, you were actually doing it for my benefit? So I should thank you?"

"No need to be grateful."

"After all, we're family."

Qin Jun chuckled darkly.

"Family?"

Qin Feiyang seemed momentarily stunned.

"Emperor Hong is your great-grandpa and my master; aren't we family?"

Qin Jun smiled.

Qin Feiyang suddenly realized, "Hearing it like that, we indeed are family."

"Yes!"

Qin Jun nodded.

"You're my sister, kneel down for me!"

Qin Feiyang shouted fiercely, his face instantly turning cold.

Treating him like a fool?

Expecting him to believe some casual fooling?

It's truly laughable.

Qin Jun's face stiffened.

He hadn't expected Qin Feiyang to change face so suddenly.

And he didn't use sound transmission.

Everyone heard Qin Feiyang's shout.

Right away.

The people around looked at Qin Jun in unison, eyes full of sympathy.

Who else could he provoke, but Qin Feiyang, that ruthless figure? Isn't this courting death?

And no one present was a fool.

Even if they hadn't heard the two's secret conversation earlier, just from Qin Feiyang's shout and attitude, it was clear Qin Jun was certainly pretending to be pitiful, seeking sympathy, and begging Qin Feiyang for mercy.

Qin Feiyang looked at Qin Jun expressionlessly and said, "I asked you to kneel, didn't you hear me? Do I need to force you myself?"

Qin Jun's expression fluctuated.

He was, after all, someone beside Emperor Hong.

Even people like the State Preceptor and Elder Qin, who were Pseudo Gods, had to be polite to him.

Yet at this moment, Qin Feiyang was demanding him to kneel publicly?

Isn't this plainly to disgrace him?

The Kylin army commander playfully said, "Master Qin Jun, did you forget the previous wager?"

Upon hearing this.

Qin Jun felt like struck by a thunderbolt, body and mind trembling.

His old face was again full of despair, his body went weak, and he knelt powerlessly before Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang sneered, "What I hate the most is someone like you, who bullies others with borrowed authority, having no skills of your own, always relying on others' backing, flaunting power."

"I was wrong."

"Think of Emperor Hong's face, spare me this time, anyway, I am someone beside Emperor Hong!"

Qin Jun pleaded.

"You count as a person?"

"You're at best a biting dog."

Qin Feiyang sneered disdainfully.

Qin Jun nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, I am just a dog, please pity me, give me a chance, okay?"

"If people don't offend me, I won't offend them."

"If people offend me, I will kill them!"

"That's my principle!"

"Especially those who wish me dead, I, Qin Feiyang, will certainly not let them go!"

Qin Feiyang's eyes brimming with killing intent.

"You brat, stop being so arrogant; do you think I really fear you?"

"Mere Four-star War Emperor, killing you is as easy as flipping my hand!"

Qin Jun, furious and ashamed, suddenly raised his arm, aiming a palm at Qin Feiyang.

"Shameless!"

The Kylin army commander changed color, quickly lifting his arm, and punched towards Qin Jun.

"Heh heh!"

But at this moment.

A sinister laugh sounded.

Followed closely.

A surge of thunderforce appeared out of nowhere, like sharp blades, pierced into Qin Jun's Qi Sea with lightning speed.

"Ah..."

With a shrill scream, Qin Jun's Qi Sea was instantly crippled, blood gushing from his abdomen.

Bang!

Then.

Qin Jun lay powerlessly at Qin Feiyang's feet, clutching his abdomen, wailing silently.

"Huh?"

The Kylin Army Commander was stunned.

Others were also astonished.

Whose power is so strong that they instantly cripple a Nine-Star War Emperor peak-level super expert?

Everyone looked over.

They saw Qin Feiyang, accompanied by a Thunder Leopard!

"It's him!"

Seeing the Thunder Leopard, all the civil and military officials, including various marquises, stepped back a few steps, faces full of terror.

Thunder Leopard has long been infamous in the Imperial Capital.

Its notoriety even rivals Qin Feiyang's.

The leopard surveyed the people and grinned, "This emperor is so kind, what are you afraid of?"

"Kind?"

"Go to hell!"

Everyone just turned their eyes up in disdain.

Daring to tease the emperors' concubines and princesses, even taking the current empress's underwear to the Treasure Pavilion for auction, is this called kind?

Everyone knows you're shameless, but isn't there a limit?

Yet the Thunder Leopard felt no shame, only pride. It looked down at Qin Jun, who lay on the ground, and sneered, "You acted so arrogant; I thought you were strong, but it turns out you're just trash."

Qin Jun glared viciously at the man and beast, full of resentment, "I curse you, to die a miserable death!"

"You believe in curses?"

"No wonder you're an idiot."

The Thunder Leopard was full of contempt.

Before the words were finished.

Its body suddenly expanded to tens of yards, then with a wide-open mouth, revealing sharp fangs, it swallowed Qin Jun whole!

"Gulp!"

Seeing this scene, everyone present was shocked, swallowed hard.

A Nine-Star War Emperor peak-level expert was swallowed alive by the Thunder Leopard!

This guy is too brutal!

Up in the sky.

Emperor Hong also noticed this situation, looked down at the Thunder Leopard, cold light flashing in his eyes.

The Thunder Leopard showed no fear, raised its head to meet Emperor Hong's gaze, full of provocation.

Boom!

Crack!

The battle between Elder Qin and the State Preceptor had already reached a frenzy.

Pseudo God power, Divine Art, divine might, constantly clashing, waves of world-ending energy, like angry waves, surged toward all directions!

The sky above the Imperial City was now completely fragmented.

Although the battle's impact didn't reach the city below, every person in the city couldn't help but feel an unfathomable terror.

It felt like the end of the world was coming.

Qin Feiyang looked up at the two, his brow gradually furrowed.

Elder Qin and the State Preceptor's strengths were basically equal, the final result hard to predict.

Possibly the State Preceptor will die, or it could be Elder Qin.

The Kylin Army Commander murmured, "We can't drag this on, we have to find a way to make Emperor Hong take action."

"Don't count on it."

Qin Feiyang glanced at Emperor Hong, speaking lightly.

"What do we do then?"

"Even if Elder Qin can kill the State Preceptor, Elder Qin will surely pay dearly, risking half his life."

The Kylin Army Commander was anxious.

"Without Emperor Hong, the State Preceptor will still die today."

Qin Feiyang snorted coldly, murmured, "Lu Xingchen, you've watched enough, it's time to act!"

"Lu Xingchen?"

The Kylin Army Commander was puzzled, looking at Qin Feiyang suspiciously.

Qin Feiyang didn't explain, gazing at the sky, his eyes flickering.

Meanwhile.

Inside the spatial artifact!

Lu Xingchen glanced at Qin Feiyang and then drove the spatial artifact towards the sky.

"Master, be careful!"

Mu Qing cautioned.

"Don't worry. Right now, the State Preceptor and Elder Qin are fighting fiercely, wouldn't expect me to appear. Just one strike is enough to take his life!"

Lu Xingchen smiled confidently.

Swoosh!

In the midst of speaking.

The spatial artifact silently arrived at the center of the battlefield.

Lu Xingchen looked at the State Preceptor in the image, eyes flashing with murderous intent.

"The State Preceptor's fate is truly unfortunate, to encounter both you and Qin Feiyang."

Mu Qing shook his head, smiling.

Lu Xingchen chuckled, took out a Shape-shifting Pill, tossed it into his mouth, and instantly transformed into a middle-aged man.

"Although the State Preceptor is already at the end of his rope, the Master should be careful, not to reveal your identity."

Mu Qing advised.

"Even if my identity is revealed, it doesn't matter."

"Because the Divine Sign is about to open."

Lu Xingchen smiled faintly, and in the next moment, he disappeared from Mu Qing's sight.

"Humph!"

"Without Emperor Hong's intervention, with your strength alone, you can't kill me!"

Outside.

The State Preceptor fought fiercely with Elder Qin, sneering inwardly.

"Then we'll see!"

Elder Qin's eyes were sharp, like a blade, intimidating to behold.

Bang Bang Bang!

Both fought with true fire, sparing no effort, using any means.

But just as they were locked in a fierce battle, behind the State Preceptor suddenly appeared a middle-aged man.

"Who's there?"

Elder Qin was startled.

The people below also recognized the middle-aged man first, faces full of suspicion.

Someone dared to interfere in the State Preceptor and Elder Qin's battle?

Could he be another Pseudo God?

And the State Preceptor, sensing the aura behind, was also shocked, without thinking shifted sideward.

"Old bastard, I've waited long for this moment."

The middle-aged man sneered coldly, a strand of Divine Sense emerging, emanating immense divine might, darting towards the back of the State Preceptor's head.

Indeed, he was Lu Xingchen!

"Is it ally?"

"It seems to be someone Qin Feiyang arranged, what a great opportunity!"

Elder Qin realized, immediately figuring out a rough idea, his aged hand clenching fiercely, directly striking towards the State Preceptor's abdomen.
