Chapter 66: Hand Over the Remnants of the Three Clans, or I Will Slaughter Everyone in This City

The Great Jin Kingdom borders Huaguo, and although its various great tribes are constantly fighting amongst themselves, when a foreign enemy comes they set aside all grudges and unite to resist the foe.

Hence the Great Jin Kingdom also bears the title of "Warrior Race."

Of course, it is a self-bestowed one.

Among the many tribes, the Bajier Tribe is the closest to Huaguo.

It alone controls a city, named after "Bajier," with its people numbering in the millions.

On one of the high-rise buildings in the city.

Li Ruyue had already received news from Hanyue City. She looked at the others at the table, her face extremely ugly.

"Our plan has already failed. Now everyone in Hanyue City knows what we did. Huaguo no longer has any place for us to hide."

Lei Hu and Zhao Tianji fell silent. They did not ask about the whereabouts of their family's Divine Image Realm experts.

Since this news had already spread, those three Divine Image Realm experts could not possibly have any chance of survival. Had they not fled to Bajier City in advance, they would likely have already been separated from their heads by now.

Seeing the three of them in such a state, the man sitting at the head of the table — covered in stubble, his frame burly and powerful — laughed dismissively, unconcerned.

He was the chieftain of the Bajier Tribe, and the highest leader of this city.

Tusunbajier.

"Since the three of you have already come to my Great Jin Kingdom, you need not worry any longer. Although my Great Jin Kingdom may not match Huaguo, it is not to be trifled with either. Protecting you will be more than enough."

This time, all three had brought quite a number of their clans' elite to flee to Bajier City.

Tusun wanted to swallow these people up, converting them into combat strength under his command, so as to further elevate the Bajier Tribe's standing among the many tribes and gain more say and resources.

Before the three could reply, a sudden rumble sounded in their ears.

They were all Martial Artists, their hearing far surpassed ordinary people — how could there be muffled thunder in broad daylight?

The four of them looked toward the same direction in unison.

A patch of dark clouds in the distance was approaching Bajier City at an astonishing speed, clearly no ordinary natural phenomenon.

That thundercloud was… Dharma Image Power!

Lightning-attribute Dharma Image Power surpasses the five great elements; it is universally acknowledged as the strongest offensive attribute, carrying absolute penetrating force.

"That is… Jiang Qin!"

Lei Hu rose to his feet in disbelief, staring at the figure amid the dark clouds in the distance.

Beside him, Zhao Tianji and Li Ruyue's expressions were no better.

The other party had not only broken through to the Divine Image Realm, but was also heading toward Bajier City with such a display of force — the meaning was already self-evident.

Tusun's face darkened as he stood up. A single person daring to come challenge his Bajier Tribe.

This was a complete disregard for them.

"Gentlemen, wait a moment. Let me go deal with this whelp, then we shall drink to our hearts' content!"

He took to the air, the aura of a peak Divine Image Realm cultivator revealed without a doubt.

Ten miles out, the dark cloud's display grew ever more terrifying as it drew closer to Bajier City.

Jiang Qin came riding a thunder dragon, his black robes fluttering in the gale, his golden vertical pupils fixed on the distant city cluster. He did not choose to conceal his aura or his figure, for his purpose in coming was to punish the sinners on behalf of Hanyue City.

Punishment from the heavens was destined to be grand in scale.

To chastise evil with absolute power.

A thousand-meter-tall Dharma Image Phantom appeared in his path.

This display of force far surpassed that of Tuwen from before.

A peak Divine Image Realm Martial Artist, only a single step away from the Earth Martial Realm.

Tusun's face was cold and grim, his gaze fixed intently on the young man bathed in thunder not far away. He spoke in an icy tone:

"Huaguo man, the territory of my Great Jin Kingdom is not for you to set foot in. Sever one of your arms now and retreat, and I shall spare your life."

Jiang Qin's aura was no less imposing: "So long as Bajier City still harbors the remnants of those three clans, I will not retreat."

"Are you trying to provoke a conflict between our two nations!"

"So what if I am!"

Both sides' auras had reached their peak; neither was willing to yield, so only strength could decide the outcome.

Tusun raised his hand, Spirit Power surging wildly to gather in the Dharma Image's arm.

A hundred-meter golden great hammer appeared in the Dharma Image's hand.

The golden Dharma Image, hammer in hand, charged toward Jiang Qin to kill.

A thunder dragon surged out from beneath Jiang Qin's feet, attacking the golden Dharma Image.

The thunder dragon and the golden Dharma Image collided. Divine Image Power scattered in all directions, the shockwave spreading outward. Even Bajier City's residents ten miles away could feel this tremor, instinctively looking up toward the battlefield.

Lightning-attribute Divine Image Power, famed for its penetration, disintegrated the golden Dharma Image's great hammer. Then the thunder dragon opened its maw wide and bit off half of that enormous Dharma Image head in one bite.

"What!"

Tusun's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly tried to retreat.

At the same time, he summoned a defensive Spirit Artifact to block before him.

But the next second, his entire person, along with his defensive Spirit Artifact, was sliced clean in two by some sort of sharp Slash!

"Boom—!"

A rain of blood filled the sky, the mangled corpse plummeting down.

The engagement lasted only a single exchange before Tusun was already dead, demonstrating Jiang Qin's absolute dominance over opponents of the same realm.

Jiang Qin condensed a giant Spirit Energy hand, grabbed the corpse on the ground, crossed ten miles to arrive above Bajier City, and proclaimed in a grand voice:

"Listen, the remaining Divine Image Realm experts of the Bajier Tribe. I give you ten minutes to hand over the remnants of the Zhao, Li, and Lei clans… If you insist on protecting them, then I will forcibly breach the city! And slaughter every person in it!"

This voice carried far; everyone in the entire city could hear Jiang Qin's words.

The city still had ten Divine Image Realm high-ranking members of the Bajier Tribe.

They watched the young man brazenly shouting above the city, the fury in their eyes seeming to overflow — since the founding of the city, this was the first time anyone had dared to be so outrageous, threatening an entire tribe with the strength of one person.

But seeing the tribe leader's corpse, they knew they could not act rashly.

"What do we do? Are we really going to do as that fellow says? Although handing over the people from those three families means nothing to us, once we do it, our Bajier Tribe will lose all face in the Dajin Kingdom."

"This precedent absolutely cannot be set, otherwise from now on anyone will dare come threaten us."

"In my view, we just do nothing. I refuse to believe that Huaguo youngster truly dares to break the city. When that happens, it will spark a war between two nations — he cannot bear that price!"

"Good! Then we'll listen to you. Hold our forces in place for now."

"Notify everyone under you to be ready for battle at any moment…"

The residents of the city fell into panic, at a loss for what to do.

Some also brazenly provoked Jiang Qin.

Then a bolt of lightning would split down from the sky, electrocuting that person into charcoal.

Soon, ten minutes passed, and still there was no response.

Jiang Qin understood what they meant, an idea forming in his mind, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

"This chance is hard to come by — let's try that move."

He raised one hand, palm facing upward.

The power of Dharma Image gathered madly in his palm, continuously condensing and compressing, then condensing again. Although he had only seen Principal Qin use it once, for him, that was already enough.
