463 As if a God Descended

In the following moment, a faint shadow materialized behind the White Dragon Army. The unexpected surge in speed threw the formation into disarray. Many armored soldiers were unceremoniously toppled, thrown into a state of disarray on the ground.

“What’s that?!” Li Zeren and his companions spun around in surprise.

The sudden shock wave rippled through their ranks. Despite the disruption, they fought to maintain their military discipline. Then, without warning, a brilliant white light cut through the air, leaving them momentarily blinded.

The mysterious figure tore through the mile-long battlefield, charging directly at the formation of the five counties’ alliance army. “Who is that? Did anyone catch a glimpse of his face?”

Li Zeren and the others could only squint at the retreating figure, their expressions fraught with confusion and disbelief.

The county governor of Fan City, observing the white light streaking toward them, narrowed his eyes. “Where did this arrogant scum come from?” he scoffed, his voice laced with disdain.

“Watch me stop him.” An expert at the fifth-level bone pattern realm took a step forward, dismounting from his horse.

“The number one general of the three counties, the man who’s claimed the lives of most generals in the last decade… Li Tianqi.”

Some voices chimed in, “I didn’t expect General Li to be so quick at taking credit.”

Bang!

But their jesting conversation was abruptly cut short by the sudden eruption of blood that splashed into the mouths of those laughing the loudest. The laughter died in an instant.

Li Tianqi, who had leaped out earlier, had vanished. The white light was still hurtling toward them. The few men, confused, could only wonder, “What just happened?”

But in the blink of an eye, the Qin Huai’s figure materialized before them. The piercing white light seemed to carry with it the overwhelming authority of an emperor. With nothing more than an exchange of glances, their bodies were punctured as if struck by a powerful blow.

Rumble…

The thirty top experts, each influential figures in their respective counties, now fell like a scattering of rain. Silent explosions of blood mist were all that was left behind, a rain of blood descending from the sky.

The governor of Fan City, outraged, bellowed, “How dare you!” The shadow of a centipede writhed behind him, launching itself at Qin Huai.

Yet, in the very next moment, Qin Huai stood before him. The governor, one of the most powerful figures in the ten counties of East Qingzhou, could not suppress his trembling.

“Is this your visceral prefecture realm?” Qin Huai, his eyes shining with an intense white light, launched a punch. His long, white hair fluttered in the wind, dissolving the silver strands at the corners of his eyes.

Bang!

With a deafening sound, blood erupted like a geyser. The governor of Fan City’s arms were obliterated by Qin Huai’s forceful punch.

“Foolish boy, how dare you!” the governor roared in fury. From the remnants of his broken arms, two bloody hands erupted, reaching for Qin Huai’s midsection.

Bang!

The heavy punch landed with a thud, akin to a powerful drumbeat. This elicited a savage grin from the county governor of Fan City. However, in the next moment, he found himself staring at Qin Huai’s impassive face.

“Did you think that would work?” Qin Huai’s nonchalant voice echoed in the air.

Before the governor could retract his fists, Qin Huai had seized his bloody hands, pulling them apart.

Rip!

In an instant, blood sprayed like a fountain once more as Qin Huai mercilessly ripped off both of the governor’s arms. The scene was a brutal spectacle, a clash of titanic forces.

The remaining warriors of the five counties stood aghast, momentarily forgetting who among the two was the true expert. How could this fight be so one-sided?

“Do you have any other tricks?” Qin Huai questioned, glancing at the blood-soaked governor of Fan City, his face twisted in fury.

“Of course I…” But before the governor could finish his sentence, a massive hand had pierced his heart.

“Fool, why would I give you a chance?” The icy coldness in Qin Huai’s eyes was palpable. He swiftly withdrew his hand, revealing a beating heart still connected to its vessels.

The governor gasped in shock and fear, his eyes wide. However, his body had stopped responding. “How? Why is he so powerful?” he stammered, glaring at Qin Huai in shock and anger.

“Who are you?” His last words barely left his lips when Qin Huai crushed the heart in his grasp. The once arrogant governor, considered the invincible expert in East Qingzhou, was now dead in just a few breaths.

Qin Huai, drenched in blood, turned to the petrified fifth-level bone pattern realm warriors still standing. “Who am I? I’m Qin Huai, master of the Nine Dragons sect.” His voice was steady, his gaze sweeping over the expert in front of him and the five-county alliance army behind them.

An official stuttered, “You’re not… Didn’t you die in Qingzhou City?”

“These rumors aren’t bad. Let’s clear up any misunderstandings.” Qin Huai’s eyes glowed with white light, and a terrifying force immediately swept across a hundred meters.

Rumble…

Soldiers of the five-county alliance near Qin Huai instantly perished. The fifth-level bone pattern realm warriors weren’t faring any better — they were visibly trembling and sweating profusely.

The next moment, Qin Huai had already closed the gap, his fists striking like thunderbolts.

“Don’t think about killing me!” a fifth-level bone pattern realm martial artist bellowed before turning to flee. But Qin Huai was already there, materializing before him like a specter. One punch was all it took.

“Everyone, fight him together!” the bone pattern realm experts yelled in unison. But in the next moment, they were all swallowed by the army formation.

“Too slow, too weak,” Qin Huai murmured.

He then activated the wind breath technique in dragon king form, making his body swift as lightning. With his powerful punches, he took down all the fifth-level bone pattern realm warriors.
