Chapter 1482: Chapter 1580: Old Emperor Qin

The Sword of Imperial Authority, a weapon of state from Qing Nation, was spoken so lowly by Dugu Nian, which made Qin Emperor’s hands tremble with fury.

This was the Sword of Imperial Authority known to everyone under the heavens, a Divine Weapon passed down through generations of emperors in Qing Nation; countless Sword Tao masters dreamt of merely glimpsing this sword but never got the chance.

Dugu Nian swung the Sword of Imperial Authority in her hand a couple of times and immediately put it royally into her bag, without any intention of returning it to Qin Emperor.

“How dare you take my sword!” Qin Emperor gritted his teeth in rage, wishing he could immediately rush up and fight to the death with Dugu Nian to snatch back the Sword of Imperial Authority.

Dugu Nian looked contemptuously at Qin Emperor: “So what if I take your sword? I plan to take your life too.”

As her words fell, Dugu Nian once again plucked her zither in front of her, and the terrifying zither music that could claim lives rang out again.

Suddenly, Western Moon King slapped his Nine Palace Bag, and a large bell that shone like fire appeared.

This golden bell surrounded by golden flames was extraordinary; under Western Moon King’s urge, it headed straight towards Dugu Nian.

The zither music turned into waves, clashing against the golden bell and emitting a deafening sound, seemingly contending with Dugu Nian’s zither music.

For a moment, the sounds of the zither and the bell intertwined, the former unceasing and the latter vast and deep.

Dugu Nian showed a trace of surprise; this golden bell actually neutralized her zither music, preventing the two emperors and the three Heaven Kings below from being affected.

“Attack!” Qin Emperor shouted loudly, his fists surging with formidable power, launching a punch imprint thunderously.

Yuan Emperor, holding a giant halberd, also erupted in astonishing Qi as if capable of tearing apart the heavens and earth, slashing directly at Sky Swallowing Hall Master.

South Zodiac King activated a scroll painting depicting many Ancient Beasts, which, under his command, surged out one by one with an ancient and fierce aura, attacking Sky Swallowing Hall Master.

North Spirit King launched a palm strike, his palm absorbing the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy, striking Sky Swallowing Hall Master with an incredibly mighty Palm Impression.

While Western Moon King used the golden bell to neutralize Sky Swallowing Hall Master’s zither music, he also summoned his Ice Separation Sword.

The Ice Separation Sword, inherently chilled, now in the freezing Extreme North Land, seemed to have its power enhanced, flying towards Sky Swallowing Hall Master with a sky-high tempest.

Dugu Nian’s gaze was icy, facing the joint attack from these powerful figures, yet she remained unmoved.

A finger, a hook on a string.

A hum resounded, and from the zither, an unprecedentedly powerful Qi surged out.

Like a tidal wave roaring down from the Nine Heavens, intending to cleanse everything in the world.

The golden bell that had neutralized Dugu Nian’s zither music bore the brunt; the moment it was hit by this Qi, the golden bell cracked with a snap, its brilliance quickly dimming and fissures spreading across the bell.

“What?” Western Moon King was shocked; this golden bell treasure was hard-earned from an ancient ruins, very handy, and a treasure of both offense and defense, rarely used by him.

But now, this treasure was shattered, and it couldn’t withstand even a single strike from the opponent.

The Golden Bell shattered and fell downwards, but the power unleashed by the flick of the finger had not yet ended.

At the moment Qin Emperor’s fist imprint collided with this force, the imprint instantly disintegrated, and with it Qin Emperor also received a heavy blow, spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood and retreating repeatedly.

The spear thrown by Yuan Emperor was no match for this terrifying force, and with a clang, though the spear did not shatter like the Golden Bell, it was instantly struck, losing all its light, almost exhausting all its strength.

Western Moon King’s Ice Separation Sword, despite releasing an overwhelming coldness, intended to seal off this force, but was completely ineffective. No matter how intensely the coldness of the Ice Separation Sword surged, it was ultimately akin to a mantis trying to stop a chariot, swallowed by the force of the zither sound, scattering the coldness.

North Spirit King’s palm, infused with Universe Spirit Energy, was also dissolved by the power of the zither sound, and South Zodiac King, relying on the ancient beasts released from the scroll, saw each creature extinguished by the zither sound, utterly unable to approach Dugu Nian.

Dugu Nian once again reached out and seized the Ice Separation Sword in his hand.

Seeing this, Western Moon King immediately internally screamed in dismay; his own weapon was even taken by the opponent.

The Ice Separation Sword in Dugu Nian’s hand struggled continuously, releasing cold and Sword Qi, trying to break free from Dugu Nian’s grasp.

Unfortunately, with a slight exertion from Dugu Nian, the Ice Separation Sword dared not move anymore, as if Dugu Nian could crush it directly if he wished.

“This sword is also not bad, but unfortunately, I still don’t like it,” Dugu Nian said softly, then took it into his own bag.

Western Moon King’s mouth twitched, if you don’t like it then give it back to me, why did you put it away?

Qin Emperor glanced at Western Moon King, feeling somewhat balanced in his heart, even a bit relieved.

He too had lost a Sword of Imperial Authority, but Western Moon King was even worse off; not to mention the shattered Golden Bell, even the Ice Separation Sword was taken by the Sky Swallowing Palace’s Hall Master. Comparatively speaking, he had only lost a sword.

Of course, Qin Emperor was still very angry in his heart; the Sword of Imperial Authority was of great importance, and he had to retrieve it no matter what. This treasured artifact had been passed down so many generations; if it were lost on his watch, Emperor Qin would then carry great guilt.

At this point in the battle, Qin Emperor and Western Moon King had already clearly understood that the Sky Swallowing Palace’s Hall Master definitely possessed the strength of the Immortal realm, and even with their combined forces, they could not match her.

“Do you have any other tactics, or perhaps any other assistance? Call them all out, and I will deal with them together,” Dugu Nian declared loftily, her blood-red hair floating, her voice ethereal and cold.

“Ah, little girl, you’ve gone too far.” An aged voice sounded, and in the distance above the horizon, a hunched old man in grey clothes slowly approached.

As this old man appeared, an imposing aura, robust as a mountain, accompanied him, as if he himself constituted a part of the world, bearing unimaginable power.

“Indeed, the previous generation’s Old Emperor Qin has appeared!”

Seeing this grey-clothed, hunched elderly man, Green Robe Guest exclaimed in surprise.

Western Moon King and the others also showed shock; they had not expected the previous generation’s Old Emperor Qin to appear, which was not in their initial plan.

“Greetings, Father Emperor!” Qin Emperor spoke with respect.

Although Old Emperor Qin was elderly, his appearance still bore some resemblance to the current Qin Emperor; after all, they were father and son, and resemblance was natural.

“I did not want to come, but I had no choice since the Sword of Imperial Authority was taken. If I don’t retrieve it, I would have no face to meet our ancestors even in death,” Old Emperor Qin glanced at Qin Emperor, who showed a guilty expression.
