Asura Mad Emperor

```

That roar came from afar, containing the truth of the Great Dao, deafening and stunning.

Upon hearing this voice, Sun Hu first paused, then swept away his frightened expression, shouting with an inner trembling but outward ferocity, "You can't kill me. An elder of the Sun Family has come! If you kill me, you will undoubtedly die."

Qinchuan sneered, "You think too highly of your Sun Family. What is the Sun Family anyway? There is no one in this world I dare not kill!"

His Innate Pupils moved as his gaze extended beyond the city; he already knew who had arrived.

The crowd within the city had already retreated far away, unable to hear Sun Hu's words clearly, but they could generally guess who the comer was.

Though this city was under the jurisdiction of Tianyuan Nation, it was actually controlled by the Sun Family; inevitably, the one arriving now must be a strong figure from the Sun Family!

The comer was incredibly fast. Before Qinchuan's words had faded, they saw an old man with white beard and whiskers arrive, flying through the air to stand with his hands behind his back atop the city wall.

"A Saint!"

"A Saint has actually descended upon Northern Desolate City!"

Northern Desolate City, as a minor city of the Tianyuan Nation, had a city lord who was only at the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Martial Realm. It was only a few days prior that he had broken through to the Fifth Layer; the people had never seen a Saint before.

"Is this the backing of the city lord?"

The newcomer was named Sun Hao, indeed an elder of the Sun Family. Sun Hao stood on the city wall, looking indifferently at Qinchuan as he shouted sternly.

"Brat, try hurting my Sun Family's member and see!"

Qinchuan glanced indifferently at the elder, his expression unmoved as he said, "Just a mere Saint with so much bluster!"

Then, the giant hand suspended above Sun Hu's head struck down without the slightest hesitation or concern, smashing onto Sun Hu's Heavenly Spirit Cover.

Sun Hu died on the spot, with his True Spirit trying to escape, intending to head for the Underworld to reincarnate. Qinchuan shot out a ray of Spiritual Power from his fingers, and the True Spirit instantly dispersed.

"How dare you, brat!"

Sun Hao became enraged. A few days ago, the ancestral elder of the Sun Family had foresaw through divination that their ancient enemy who'd been imprisoned for hundreds of thousands of years was gaining power, while the Sun Family showed signs of decline and doom.

The elder had been worried about an accident occurring in Northern Desolate City, so he had dispatched Sun Hao to guard the city.

He did not dare delay, having rushed directly for dozens of days from the Great Yan Ancient Kingdom to Northern Desolate City.

Yet before he had even arrived, he detected that the God-Slaying Great Formation originally set up within the city had been activated, and a great battle was taking place in Northern Desolate City.

He also keenly noticed that the God-Slaying Great Formation had already been breached.

Immediately, he expanded his Divine Sense towards Northern Desolate City to investigate. Just as he saw Qinchuan about to kill Sun Hu, Sun Hao, who couldn't save him in time, shouted loudly, hoping to deter the offender.

When he arrived in the city, he thought that with his own Cultivation Level, he would be able to deter the opponent from striking again; who would have known this youngster would really go through with the killing of Sun Hu without giving any regard to him, a Saint!

The next moment, Sun Hao's gaze became sharp.

"So you rely on the power of a Half-Step Supreme Dao Artifact!"

Earlier, he didn't understand how Qinchuan, at the Meridian Opening Realm, could defeat Sun Hu, at the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Martial Realm. After seeing the Heavenly Metamorphosis Inkstone and the Spring and Autumn Brush, he finally realized.

Soon after, he was surprisingly pleased.

Half-Step Supreme Dao Artifacts weren't common. Although his Sun Family also possessed Supreme Dao Artifacts and Half-Step Supreme Dao Artifacts, as a peripheral elder, Sun Hao didn't have the turn to use a Dao Artifact.

```

Seeing two half-step Supreme Dao Artifacts at once, how could he not be overjoyed?

His delight was evident on his face, even the anger from Sun Hu's death dissipated entirely.

"You reckless scoundrel, you killed a son of the Sun Family. Today, this old man will slay you to uphold the might of the Sun Family!"

Qinchuan could easily see through Sun Hao's thoughts. His words might have sounded grand and righteous, but his face was practically etched with the word 'greedy'.

"Hmph, indeed, treasures tempt the heart. However, anyone who dares to covet this young master's treasures will not end well."

With a move, truths of the great Dao erupted beneath his feet, stepping on lotuses with each step as he ascended through empty space. Within two or three steps, he reached the top of the city walls, looking directly at Sun Hao, with the Spring and Autumn Brush in hand, Zhang Guang said, "If it's a fight you want, then let's fight. Even at the Meridian Opening Realm, I can slaughter you."

Qinchuan's words were crystal clear, imbued with the Invincible True Intent, and resounded in the ears of every cultivator present, stirring excitement among the distant crowd. However, they soon snapped out of it.

"Did I hear that wrong? He's just a Meridian Opening Realm Cultivator, and he's talking about slaughtering a Saint?"

"Even if he has a half-step Supreme Dao Artifact, even if he just broke the military formation and the God-Slaying Sword Formation, he is now facing a Saint!"

They had already forgotten that, before Qinchuan had broken the God-Slaying Great Formation, they also did not believe that Qinchuan could break the formation.

Qinchuan stood atop the city wall, his clothes flapping vigorously in the brisk wind.

Although he appeared calm and fearless on the surface, his muscles were tensed. In secret, he was communicating with the Divine Cauldron, ready to strike at any moment. The Asura Emperor Soul within his spirit was itching for action.

The black Dao Lotus in his sea of consciousness buzzed for a moment, but then settled down; it seemed to know that the person before it was not really a problem—it was too lazy to even bother.

Whether it was the Divine Cauldron, the black Dao Lotus, or the Asura Emperor Soul, these were Qinchuan's trump cards, which he did not wish to use lightly.

Especially the Asura Emperor Soul—if it caught someone's attention, it would bring about countless troubles. Therefore, Qinchuan had only infused a hint of Great Emperor Qi into his mysterious techniques to fend off enemies; he had never fully utilized the Asura Emperor Soul.

And the black Dao Lotus—he had never used it before. He knew that once the Black Lotus appeared, it would inevitably attract the attention of certain beings from both the Divine Realm and the Underworld. He would not actively use the Black Lotus unless it was absolutely necessary.

But now, facing an opponent in the Saint Realm, he would indeed struggle to suppress them without resorting to his trump cards, given his current Meridian Opening Realm Cultivation Level.

Just then, a piercing sound of breaking air came from the void, and a voice containing Dao Rhymes rang all around, "Spare the man!"

Then, two figures were seen flying in from afar. Qinchuan's brows furrowed slightly.

"Han Jiuming, people from the Jiuli Ghost Sect."

The elderly man beside him had sharp eyes like an eagle, his presence subdued, yet still unforgivably sharp.

A thought struck Qinchuan, "Another Saint! And it's at the late peak of the Holy's Realm, with one foot already stepping into the Great Saint Realm!"

At this time, with the people from the Jiuli Ghost Sect seeking him out, Qinchuan naturally did not think they were here to save him.

He was calculating in his mind.

"Facing a single Saint, he was confident he could suppress the opponent with the Divine Cauldron and the Emperor Soul, but against two Saints, even with these two advantages, it would not ensure a certain defeat.

It seems that without using the Black Lotus, today's situation will not be easily resolved. But once the Black Lotus is used, powerhouses from both realms will surely come knocking..."

"Without the Black Lotus, today's predicament would indeed be difficult to resolve..."

"No matter what, even if it attracts the Divine Realm and the Underworld, who could seize the Black Lotus from my hand back then, and now, they still can't!"

The Black Lotus seemed to sense the crisis its master faced; it began to spin on its own in the sea of consciousness, ready to burst forth and devour everything.

As he pondered, Han Jiuming and the peak Saint elder had already arrived at the top of the city wall.
