Chapter 514: Chapter 513: The Great Trend Is Gone

"Fight on!"

Having activated the Godslaying State and fueled by Holy Liquid Energy, Qin Ya was like an immortal berserker, attacking with wild abandon and even trading wound for wound!

Ziming Liufeng and Yuan Lin, two Era-Defining Kings, found themselves suppressed and unable to gain the upper hand. As the battle dragged on, it wasn’t just them; the Noble Family Alliance Army had also suffered a major setback. Morale plummeted, and they began a steady retreat.

’Damn it,’ Ziming Liufeng cursed inwardly. They had planned for so long, broken the city’s Grand Array, and lured out the Jinlin City Lord. Their chances of success had been at least eighty percent. But they never imagined that at this critical juncture, an anomaly like Qin Ya would appear and throw their entire plan into disarray!

Now, forget pulling Mo Bokong from his position as City Lord; their own lives were hanging by a thread. At this thought, his killing intent toward Qin Ya erupted like a tidal wave. Every move he made was a fatal strike!

However, Qin Ya’s current strength was a world apart from what it had been. No matter how powerful or fierce Ziming Liufeng’s attacks were, he couldn’t land a fatal blow. He couldn’t even manage to inflict a serious injury.

"Mysterious Technique... Sword Divides Heaven and Earth!"

With a cold cry, Ziming Liufeng unleashed a burst of purple Divine Light. It condensed into a longsword that shone like purple glaze. He gripped it and slashed. The sword transformed into Sword Qi that seemed capable of splitting heaven and earth, toppling mountains and rivers, its might utterly unstoppable!

Once, this was a move Qin Ya could not have hoped to withstand.

But now...

Qin Ya let out a cold laugh. The Qi of Destruction and the Power of Nature erupted from him at once as he thrust his spear. A terrifying spear’s light, like a raging tempest, swept out to meet the attack.

The collision of the spear’s light and the Sword Qi shook the land for miles around.

"Mysterious Technique... Mount Tai Pressing Down!"

Just then, another powerful surge of energy rippled out. A suffocating pressure spread across more than half the battlefield as a majestic mountain peak materialized high in the sky!

The peak towered into the clouds, thousands upon thousands of feet tall!

As the massive peak descended, furious gales howled high above, parting the clouds. The pressure was so intense, so suffocating, that it became difficult to even breathe!

"Haha! I comprehended this Mysterious Technique after studying Mount Tai for ten long years! Its power is comparable to a Sixth-Grade Profound Technique! Now, die for me!"

Yuan Lin held the colossal peak aloft, glowing with an earthen-yellow Divine Light like a deity. With a great roar, he heaved his arms forward, hurling the mountain down.

As the mountain fell, an impossibly heavy pressure enveloped Qin Ya completely, even restricting the space around him. Yet, his face showed no sign of fear. Instead, his wild grin only widened as the Qi of Destruction roiling around him grew even more violent!

"Hahaha! Then today, I shall split a mountain!"

As the words left his lips, an overwhelming aura of Destruction erupted from Qin Ya. He condensed it into his palm. A vision of armageddon—of the heavens collapsing and the earth sundering—flashed through his mind. In that instant, like the first spark of light that split the primordial Chaos, his comprehension of Heaven’s Woe and Earth’s Misery skyrocketed!

Immediately, a colossal Palm Seal condensed from the void.

The apocalyptic scene reflected within the Palm Seal was shocking to behold, as if this single strike could annihilate the world. A wave of power, characteristic of a Seventh-Grade Profound Technique, suddenly pulsed outward.

The expression on the face of everyone who felt this ripple of power changed drastically!

"That’s... a Seventh-Grade Profound Technique!"

"That palm strike has actually reached the level of a Seventh-Grade Profound Technique!"

"To think he commands such a devastating attack!"

This was a Seventh-Grade Profound Technique, something not even all Venerable Level experts possessed. What kind of secrets could this Qin Ya be hiding to have access to such a fatal technique? For a moment, everyone was shaken to their core!

"Argh! So what if you have a Seventh-Grade Profound Technique?!"

"My Mount Tai Pressing Down, powered by my Era-Defining Cultivation, is more than enough to crush you! Patriarch Ziming, if not now, when will you strike?!"

At Yuan Lin’s shout, Ziming Liufeng’s eyes glinted with cold, murderous intent. With a low cry, he once again unleashed his Mysterious Technique, Sword Divides Heaven and Earth. As a dazzling purple light flared, an astonishing Sword Qi took shape and, alongside the colossal mountain, surged toward Qin Ya to crush him!

"So you join forces! What can you possibly do to me?!"

Qin Ya was fearless, his black hair whipping wildly as his Qi of Destruction flared even stronger. Before the eyes of all, the sky-shattering Palm Seal, now hundreds of feet tall, met the Sword Qi and the mountain in a cataclysmic collision. A stunning black pillar of light erupted into the sky as immense waves of energy aftermath swept out in all directions.

Under the force of the Palm Seal, massive cracks spiderwebbed across the mountain peak. Boulders tumbled down, dust filled the air, and countless trees were snapped and thrown aside. Then, with a deafening BOOM, the entire mountain exploded. The endless rain of rock smashed into the ground, creating massive craters before dissipating into motes of light, leaving only a ravaged landscape behind.

Even after shattering the mountain, the immense Palm Qi had not dissipated. It slammed directly into the Sharp Sword Qi, and the two attacks detonated, sending new ripples through the clouds. Immediately after, a blurry figure shot toward Yuan Lin at an unimaginable speed!

"Patriarch Yuan, watch out!" a voice boomed, but the words had barely been spoken before Qin Ya was already in front of Yuan Lin, his spear thrusting forward like a ghostly glint of light!

Warned by Ziming Liufeng’s shout, Yuan Lin shot backward. But then he saw Qin Ya give an eerie smile as the very space around them seemed to warp. Qin Ya’s figure appeared to ignore the distance between them, reappearing instantly in front of him. The spear strike didn’t falter for a moment, piercing directly between his eyes and killing him instantly!

Mysterious Speed, combined with... Shrinking Inches!!

The Patriarch of the Yuan Family, another Era-Defining King... was dead!

This sight completely shattered the psychological defenses of the alliance army. An unspeakable terror seized them, and they began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Hahaha! And you call that an Era-Defining King?"

"I must say, I’m a little disappointed."

High above, Qin Ya’s wild laughter echoed across the entire battlefield. It only deepened the fear and unease in the eyes of the Noble Family Alliance Army. In stark contrast, the morale of the city guard soldiers and the Personal Guards soared to its absolute peak, their combat strength surging as a result!

As one side’s morale soared and the other’s plummeted, the Noble Family Alliance Army was completely routed!

"Why? Why does that Qin Ya have such power?"

"How could the Patriarchs be so useless? Killed one after another by a Martial Artist who isn’t even a King... Why? Why are they so useless?!"

"We’re doomed. The Lord City Lord will never let us go."

Looking down at the wailing, despairing disciples of the noble families, Ziming Liufeng’s expression became grim to the extreme. A single phrase came to his mind: The tide has turned.

And the one who had caused all of this was merely a single young man.

His gaze toward Qin Ya was filled with hatred, but even he didn’t realize that hidden deep within that hatred was a flicker of sheer terror!

"Lay down your arms and surrender, and you will not be killed!!"

Mo Bokong, who was locked in a fierce battle with the Jinlin City Lord, bellowed the order. Hearing this, the soldiers of the Noble Family Alliance Army hesitated. But at that very moment, Ziming Liufeng did something none of them expected. He turned and fled, streaking away from the city!

He had... fled!

He had abandoned the entire Noble Family Alliance Army and run away!
