Chapter 839

Facing the Meng Emperor's contemptuous mockery, Yang Qin's expression was grim; he knew there was a traitor in the city, someone secretly surrendering to the Barbarian Tribe.

Nevertheless, the Iron Lock Pass must still be held.

"You think a mere traitor could shake the Iron Lock Pass? Wishful thinking."

Yang Qin's answer was resounding and forceful; seeing this, the Meng Emperor's smile did not fade, he well knew Yang Qin's character, after all the two could be called old rivals, so he never thought he would surrender.

Just.................

Under the smiles of the Meng Emperor and his entourage, a spatial rift tore open above the horizon, and thereafter a black shadow eight meters tall strode out.

Seeing this, whether Yang Qin, the strong ones of the Yunluo Holy Land, or the cultivators of other Sects inside the Iron Lock Pass, all fell into utter despair.

"Barbarian Emperor........... how could..........."

Someone's lips trembled as they muttered, under everyone's gaze a Barbarian Emperor indeed appeared before them.

The Barbarian Emperor's appearance was like the final straw that broke the camel's back, plunging everyone into utter despair.

"We can't hold it, this time we really can't hold it."

"Damn it, why did the Barbarian Emperor appear here."

"No one thought this battle still had any hope, and when the Barbarian Emperor appeared, his gaze merely glanced lightly at Yang Qin, then he coldly spoke."

"This emperor asks only once: surrender or not."

"Speaking, a terrifying blood-red aura surged from his whole body; this aura twisted the surrounding space, like a Blood Sea pressing upon all Human Race cultivators."

"This is pure flesh-and-blood power, relying solely on one's blood qi to achieve this, which is the innate talent of the Barbarian Tribe."

"Under the pressure of the Barbarian Emperor's blood qi, the Human Race, already plunged into despair, now each had faces like dead ashes, their fighting spirit quickly fading, and some even entertained thoughts of retreat."

"But just then, a roar suddenly shouted from Yang Qin's mouth."

"Would rather die than surrender."

"These four short words seemed to break through the Barbarian Emperor's blood qi suppression, and all Human Race cultivators' gazes involuntarily turned toward where Yang Qin was."

"And Yang Qin also roared angrily."

"Heroic spirit shakes heaven and earth, fight until death."

"This is a saying in front of the Iron Lock Pass city lord's mansion, said to be written by the founder of the Yunluo Holy Land."

"For countless years, countless Human Race cultivators have gone forward one after another to the Three Great Heroic Passes, burying who knows how many Human Race predecessors in the Three Great Heroic Passes."

"Yet to this day, the Three Great Heroic Passes still stand firm, always serving as the three great gates protecting the Human Race, firmly keeping foreign tribes outside."

"It is precisely the fearless, death-defying bloodiness of Human Race cultivators."

"One night, everyone, just one night, hold this night and we will have won."

"Yang Qin's roar caused the Human Race cultivators who had originally given rise to despair to gradually change."

"From despair, to shock, to boiling hot blood, to fighting until death."

"Heroic spirit shakes heaven and earth, fight until death."

"Many Human Race cultivators rose and shouted, their fighting spirit quickly returning."

"Indeed, even without the city-protecting grand formation, so what? This is not a reason for them to lose the Iron Lock Pass; even if only one person remains, they must guard the Iron Lock Pass."

"One night, just one night, they must struggle to the death to endure this night."

"Seeing the Human Race side again erupt with earth-shaking morale, the Barbarian Emperor's face showed no change, and he coldly ordered."

"Ignorant of life and death, kill."

"Following the Barbarian Emperor's order, a million-strong Barbarian Tribe army moved, countless barbarians as strong as dragons and elephants charged toward the Human Race side."

"And Yang Qin also raised his long blade high, roaring."

"Kill."

"Outside the Iron Lock Pass, the two tribes fiercely collided."

"And the Human Race side, which was at an absolute numerical disadvantage, upon contact seemed to have charged into the Barbarian Tribe's layers of encirclement."

"What can stubborn resistance at the last ditch change?"

"Above the high sky, the Barbarian Emperor watched the battle below, just about to make a move, when suddenly a blade light streaked across."

"He turned his head, casually grabbed the incoming blade light with one hand, a faint cold smile on his face, and with a slight squeeze, directly crushed the blade light."

"You, because you know the gap between Cultivation: Great Saint and the Emperor realm."

"Looking at Yang Qin appearing before him, this guy has employed a Mìfǎ, seemingly intending to use his own life to hold him back."

"However, the Barbarian Emperor only found it amusing."

"Cultivation: Great Saint's cultivation, and not yet having reached perfection, do you think that merely employing a secret method once can make up for this gap?"

"Facing the Barbarian Emperor's contempt, Yang Qin gritted his teeth, both hands tightly gripping his great blade."

"How can you know without trying?"

"Saying this, he again attacked the Barbarian Emperor; facing Yang Qin's offense, the Barbarian Emperor neither dodged nor evaded."

"Letting the blade fiercely hack and slash against his body, he met Yang Qin's full-force strike with his flesh; the result was that Yang Qin's blade left not a trace on the Barbarian Emperor's body."

"If this is your hope, then this emperor will personally shatter it."

"Saying this, the Barbarian Emperor made no visible movement, merely a simple flick of his finger, after which Yang Qin's whole body was directly flung backward."

"Even the shock from that finger flick could not be withstood; a blood hole instantly appeared on his forehead, and even his soul suffered injury."

"He fell heavily to the ground; seeing this, the Barbarian Emperor also did not bother with him further—a Human Race Cultivation: Great Saint could be slain with a casual hand."

"He again turned his gaze to the battlefield below; the Barbarian Emperor prepared to act."

"Although even if he did not act, the situation would still favor the Barbarian Tribe, the Barbarian Emperor knew that reinforcements from the Yunluo Holy Land were surely already on their way."

"He must, before the Yunluo Holy Land's reinforcements arrive, end the battle, seize Hulao Pass, in order to counter the Yunluo Holy Land's backlash."

"There is no time to waste on these Human Race cultivators inside the Iron Lock Pass."

"Stop, your opponent is me................"

Seeing the Barbarian Emperor about to attack the cultivators below, Yang Qin, struggling to his feet, roared and simultaneously slashed out with his blade.

We absolutely cannot let the Barbarian Emperor attack the cultivators below, otherwise we truly won't be able to hold out until dawn.

But facing Yang Qin's attack, the Barbarian Emperor merely flicked his hand, and the blade was directly deflected, landing on a distant mountain.

The mountain peak was directly sheared off in half, yet the Barbarian Emperor was completely unaffected.

Seeing this result, Yang Qin gritted his teeth and raised his blade; the gap in strength between them left him somewhat at a loss.

It felt as if his attack had no meaning at all; in the Barbarian Emperor's eyes, it wasn't even worth a scratch.

"Even so, I will give it my all."

Gritting his teeth, just as Yang Qin was about to strike again, a sword blade flashed from behind without any warning.

It almost brushed past Yang Qin's body, heading straight for the Barbarian Emperor.

The Barbarian Emperor, who had shown no change in expression until then, suddenly changed his face, no longer bothering to attack the human cultivators below; he turned, looked at the sword blade rushing toward him, and assumed a defensive stance.

This was the first time the Barbarian Emperor had assumed a defensive stance since his appearance; the sword blade then slammed heavily into his body, and for a moment the terrifying sword qi and blood qi in the sky seemed to turn into two giant dragons, tearing at each other, standing opposed.
