285: Holy Emperor Dharma

That terrifying strike had directly shattered the Saint's Bao technique, that crimson Dragon!

If it were to fall, the entire Martial Dao City would be affected!

Now, seeing the array patterns in the Void Realm, many soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, and those from the Dragon Guard nearly collapsed to the ground.

The Martial Saint Emperor had explicitly stated that they should not be too overbearing towards Lin Ye, yet now Yuwen Zhong had actually attacked him!

If this Martial Dao City were to be destroyed as well, wouldn't the Martial Saint Emperor, in his rage, simply slaughter them all?

The activation of the grand array would surely be able to block that Sword Qi!

Everyone in the city looked toward the Void Realm with this thought, waiting for the collision between the Sword Qi and the grand array.

But in the next moment, the expressions of anticipation on their faces froze.

That black sword radiance had actually passed directly through the grand array!

It wasn't that the grand array had been destroyed, but rather that the sword radiance had passed straight through it without being affected in the slightest.

"Ho, how is this possible!!!"

"What kind of person could unleash such a bizarre sword radiance?!"

"Even the grand array couldn't stop it! My life is over!"

"Open the damn grand array, I want to get out of here!!!"

"..."

On the streets, the clamor was endless, and many soldiers of Martial Dao City rushed forward, trying to control the situation that was gradually descending into chaos.

But in the face of life and death, who could remain rational? The lights of various Bao techniques flickered throughout Martial Dao City, and a large number of buildings were destroyed as a result.

At this moment, Yuwen Zhong was staring fixedly at the falling black sword radiance.

It was not that he didn't want to resist or flee, but as the black sword radiance approached, he discovered that the Qi Sea within his body seemed to have been sealed, and the sword radiance had locked onto him tightly.

Let alone fleeing, he couldn't even move a single finger now.

He could only watch helplessly as the sword radiance descended.

"It's over!!!"

As the black sword radiance fell, all the members of the Dragon Guard and the soldiers maintaining order closed their eyes. Just by feeling that aura, they knew that if they were to face that sword radiance, they would undoubtedly die!

Yet, the expected massive explosion did not occur!

The black sword radiance passed directly through those buildings; the sword radiance was contracting and condensing!

Swish!!!

The sword radiance finally landed on the ground, and it seemed as if heaven and earth had been completely severed by this single strike.

When the people opened their eyes and realized they hadn't died, they all collapsed to the ground. That terrifying sword radiance had truly made their souls tremble.

Some were even nearly frightened to death on the spot.

"W-we survived?"

"I told you! How could anyone dare to make a move within Martial Dao City? Hahahaha!"

"That sword radiance felt so terrifying just now, could it have been an illusion? Who is so bored!"

"Damn it, don't let me catch you, or I'll definitely slaughter you on the spot!"

"..."

Everyone felt they had been played for fools. After all, they had made fools of themselves at the brink of death. For a time, the crowd was filled with resentment toward the person who had unleashed the illusory sword radiance.

But a portion of the people remained frozen in place.

"Hey! What are you all doing? Were you scared silly? That was all fake!!!"

The questions from the people around him caused one of them to snap out of it. He turned around tremblingly and pointed a finger at the ground.

"Fa-fake? Look! How could this possibly be fake!"

The crowd looked in the direction the man was pointing and all gasped in horror.

They saw a barely visible crack on the ground. The crack wasn't even as wide as a sword blade, yet such a crack had spread directly from the Princess's Residence to outside the city! Along its path, this crack could be clearly seen on all the buildings.

Moreover, on the ground, it seemed as if even the air had been sliced open! There was actually a vacuum zone like a barrier!

Even the defensive grand array had this sliver of a crack on it.

It was simply invincible!

Hiss!!!

Now, everyone turned their gazes toward the Princess's Residence.

"Didn't you just say you were going to kill the person who used that sword radiance? Go ahead, I'll wait here for your good news."

"Go to hell! I was just crazy earlier, can't I talk nonsense? As everyone knows, I suffered a Qi Deviation, so it's reasonable that my head isn't right, right? If you look at me again, I'll kill you first!"

"..."

Such farces were happening in every corner of Martial Dao City.

Meanwhile.

Inside the Princess's Residence.

Wu Mingyue had originally wanted to step forward to help Lin Ye, because she noticed that the black sword radiance had disappeared, yet Yuwen Zhong was still standing there without moving.

But just as she was about to step forward, she was once again stopped by Empress Wu.

"Silly girl, you are truly flustered by your concern. Look carefully, or perceive it with your senses!"

Hearing her mother's words, a trace of doubt appeared on Wu Mingyue's pretty face, but her mother was never wrong.

So, Wu Mingyue closed her beautiful eyes and sensed carefully.

She didn't know until she sensed it; upon doing so, Wu Mingyue was stunned on the spot!

Yuwen Zhong's aura had vanished! Not a single trace remained; even his spiritual power, his Qi Sea, and even his Divine Soul had disappeared along with it.

"Isn't he still standing here, he..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Wu Mingyue noticed the problem.

At the center of Yuwen Zhong's body, there was a subtle crack, and the ground he was standing on was the same.

That crack was exceptionally conspicuous.

"He, he really won..."

Wu Mingyue looked at Lin Ye in disbelief.

A young generation member at the Body Integration Stage had slain a Saint right here, and in a single strike at that!

What on earth was going on?!

Even if his talent and aptitude were top-notch, he couldn't be this Heaven-Defying; how many Realms had he crossed?!

Empress Wu's beautiful eyes were also filled with shock.

The mother and daughter were completely stunned by the strength Lin Ye had displayed.

Rumble!!!

Just at this moment, a huge sound appeared in the sky. In the next moment, endless Dragon Qi was gathering. After a while, that Dragon Qi converged into a golden Dharma Image.

That Dharma Image pierced through heaven and earth, dressed in a dragon robe, majestic and domineering.

"He has come..."

There was a trace of hatred in Empress Wu's beautiful eyes.

The Martial Saint Emperor!

The only ruling monarch of this Wu Dynasty, he had summoned the True Dragon Qi within Martial Dao City to converge into this Dharma Image.

Just when everyone in Martial Dao City was feeling shocked by this Dharma Image.

That Dharma Image gradually shrank, and soon, it transformed into the size of a human, appearing before Lin Ye.

"Hahahaha, Holy Son Lin, I had previously seen your strength on the sky screen, but I didn't expect that it wasn't your full extent at all. Such strength is indeed worthy of my beloved daughter."

The Martial Saint Emperor let out a hearty laugh.

As for Yuwen Zhong on the side, he didn't even glance at him.

His eyes were completely filled with admiration for Lin Ye, as if he didn't care at all that Lin Ye had killed his general.

"Martial Saint Emperor, seeing you in person is truly better than hearing about you."
