Chapter 327: Trapped in a Deadly Situation
🕑 Added 2024-09-24 07:14:01 +0000 UTC"Buffs"—this term from Lin Qian's previous life, used in games to refer to power-enhancing skills, was something these aliens in this world couldn’t possibly understand. To them, it just sounded like gibberish.
Everything was going fine, but why did Lin Qian suddenly start babbling nonsense?
Though they couldn’t make sense of Lin Qian’s strange words, they could keenly sense that after he consumed those mysterious items, his strength seemed to have increased yet again.
His body emitted thirteen flashes of colorful light, and with each flash, his power seemed to grow stronger, though they couldn't pinpoint exactly what had changed.
Of course, Lin Qian wasn’t going to tell them that those skill gems had enhanced his strength, speed, reaction time, and even the flow of his soul power.
"Stacking buffs just means I'm going to beat you until you're convinced to call me daddy," Lin Qian joked, stretching his muscles before gripping the Emperor Sword and charging once more at Wu En and Bai Hengyi.
Whoosh!
The moment Lin Qian moved, Yuan Xiang's expression shifted again. "He's even faster now! Is this still a Body Realm cultivator?"
Yuan Xiang watched in astonishment as Lin Qian took on both Bai Hengyi and Wu En simultaneously, wielding the Emperor Sword with ease.
With his Blade Fists fully formed, Wu En was proving to be even more challenging. His attacks were not just punches but also sudden slashes with the soul-power-infused blades at the edges of his fists.
But Lin Qian, whose soul was inherently strong, was not easily deceived. With the rigorous training he had received from Zhang Juncheng and his experience as a PvP enthusiast in his previous life, Lin Qian’s combat prowess was far beyond that of the average young generation.
Bai Hengyi and Wu En found themselves increasingly frustrated as the fight wore on.
They had hoped to suppress Lin Qian with their superior combat experience, but they hadn’t anticipated that his battle instincts would be just as sharp, if not sharper than theirs.
Moreover, they began to notice that their attacks seemed increasingly predictable to Lin Qian. It was as if he could foresee their every move, and his golden eyes gave them the eerie feeling of being completely seen through.
In reality, Lin Qian had no such precognitive abilities. Instead, the Heavenly Works Department of his Huaxia Empire did.
As Lin Qian clashed with Bai Hengyi and Wu En, information about the two alien warriors was transmitted from his eyes to the Heavenly Works Department. There, scholars analyzed their combat habits, predicting their attack angles and force, and displayed this information on Lin Qian's tactical screen.
Whenever Bai Hengyi tried to stealthily approach Lin Qian, planning to strike from behind, Lin Qian would suddenly turn and swing his sword, unleashing a devastating attack that left Bai Hengyi barely able to defend himself.
Bang!
In mid-air, Bai Hengyi was knocked out of stealth by Lin Qian’s strike, sent flying backward in a lopsided trajectory.
The Xun Yin clan might be masters of stealth, but their defense was notoriously weak. If Bai Hengyi had been in the Heart Realm instead of the Awakened Realm, Lin Qian's strike might have cleaved him in two.
Aaaah!
At that moment, a scream echoed from afar. Suspended above the city walls, Yuan Xiang quickly sensed that one of the Xun Yin clan's Awakened Realm experts had fallen to Lin Qian’s forces.
While keeping an eye on Lin Qian's battle, Yuan Xiang was also monitoring the other eight Awakened Realm warriors fighting against Lin Qian's army.
He had already witnessed the perfect coordination of Lin Qian’s troops, and even now, during the siege of these Awakened Realm experts, their teamwork remained impeccable.
The Awakened Realm might be powerful, but their soul power and stamina were finite. Surrounded by seemingly endless waves of enemies, their psychological pressure was immense.
Yuan Xiang now fully understood Lin Qian's earlier statement—when numbers reach a certain threshold, they can lead to a qualitative change.
Although there was a difference in realm levels, Lin Qian was using sheer numbers to bridge that gap. By overwhelming them with an army of eighty million, he was essentially forcing them into submission with brute force.
Yuan Xiang still couldn’t fathom where Lin Qian’s army had come from or how he had managed to summon them all.
The only explanation Yuan Xiang could think of was that Lin Qian had received some extraordinary legacy—though even that seemed too far-fetched.
No matter how mysterious Lin Qian seemed, Yuan Xiang was pleased to see someone so exceptional. Yet while Yuan Xiang admired Lin Qian's talents, Bai Hengyi and Wu En were growing increasingly desperate.
"This human brat is too troublesome," Wu En growled internally, swinging his fists to launch his most powerful soul technique. The soul energy condensed into enormous cross-shaped blades that hurtled toward Lin Qian.
Cross Blade Fists!
Normally, when faced with such an overwhelming attack, any sensible person would either retreat or try to deflect the blow. That had always been Wu En’s experience.
But instead of retreating, Lin Qian advanced, aiming the tip of his Emperor Sword directly at the center of the Cross Blade Fists, swirling his soul power around the blade as he thrust it forward.
Just as the Emperor Sword was about to pierce the center of the Cross Blade Fists, Bai Hengyi suddenly appeared at Lin Qian’s side, a sinister grin on his face. With his short dagger charged with green soul energy, he lunged for Lin Qian's heart.
At the same time, Wu En also smiled grimly. He and Bai Hengyi had conferred earlier and noticed that Lin Qian always tried to break through their techniques head-on rather than evading.
So Wu En decided to lure Lin Qian into breaking his Cross Blade Fists, while Bai Hengyi would launch a sneak attack.
As Lin Qian focused on breaking the Cross Blade Fists, Bai Hengyi would strike the killing blow.
As top-tier experts in the Xun Yin and Wuxing clans, even though they were merely avatars, resorting to such tactics against a Body Realm opponent was disgraceful.
But they understood that Lin Qian was a terrifying threat to all alien races.
A man who could summon eighty million invincible troops with ease, blessed with talents beyond imagination, simply could not be allowed to leave this world alive.
Above the city walls, Yuan Xiang’s face paled. His imprint avatar began to radiate a brilliant light, a clear sign that it was preparing to unleash its final burst of energy to save Lin Qian.
