Interception of the Prince; Heroic Martial Marquis Takes Action

"Dragon Scale, Blazing Dragon Bloodline... Could it be that the Great Qin Dynasty has a dragon?" Qin Luo murmured, a trace of shock in his voice.

Dragons were divine beasts!

"Do you think it's possible that the Great Qin Dynasty has a Divine Dragon?" Qin Luo's voice echoed within the Human Emperor Banner.

"A Divine Dragon? Do you think that's possible? If your Great Qin Dynasty truly had a Divine Dragon, what other force in this world could stand against you? Wouldn't you have long since ruled this world?"

Xi Huang asked in return.

But how else could the Blazing Dragon Bloodline and Dragon Scale be explained?

"That's hard to say. Perhaps that dragon is dead?"

"Even a dead dragon would be covered in treasures, enough to raise your Great Qin Dynasty to another level."

"Perhaps we'll soon find out whether the Great Qin Dynasty has a Divine Dragon." Qin Luo muttered.

Their group traveled for a day before stopping at a gorge.

"This is Thread of Heaven. Bandits often appear here," Li Yi explained from the side.

"I don't know whether there are bandits, but there are definitely people."

"Come out!" Qin Luo said, looking toward the top of the gorge.

"Hahaha!"

A burst of laughter rang out.

"Ninth Prince, someone wants me to take your life! Why not simply give it to me?"

A middle-aged man with a large saber strapped to his back stepped through the air from above the gorge, one step at a time.

After reaching the Spirit Transformation Realm, one could briefly travel through the air. The man moved with such ease that his strength was clearly extraordinary.

"He's Men Sandao!" Li Yi cried out.

"He is Men Sandao, a wanted criminal listed on the Great Qin Wanted List. It is said that no one can withstand three strikes from him."

"Your Highness, his cultivation is at least in the Late Grotto-Heaven Realm. I'll hold him back—you must leave quickly!"

Li Yi stepped forward, a longsword appearing in his hand. He pointed it at the other man, his eyes filled with gravity.

Men Sandao laughed. "Hahaha, hold me back? With a mere Early Grotto-Heaven Realm cultivator like you? To be honest, I, Men Sandao, won't even need three strikes to cut you down on the spot."

"Then try it!" Li Yi said coldly.

"I'd like to see just how strong you, Men Sandao, really are!"

Boom! Powerful Sword Force rose from Li Yi's body. His Sword Force was already close to major completion—this was the confidence he relied upon.

Qin Luo swept his gaze around and sneered. "You're only sending one man out? What are the rest of you hiding in the dark for? Watching a show?"

Men Sandao sneered. "I alone am enough. Ninth Prince, are you so eager to die?"

"Just you? What do you think you are?"

"You're merely in the Grotto-Heaven Realm. Do you really think you can stir up storms before this prince?"

Qin Luo stepped forward. Li Yi wanted to stop him. "Your Highness, he is very strong. Let this subordinate hold him back."

"This subordinate will surely stop him at the cost of my life. I only ask that Your Highness, in consideration of my desperate efforts, take care of my younger sister."

"Is your life so worthless?" Qin Luo asked.

"Who the hell is the villain here? I'm starting to lose track myself. You dare intercept and kill me? Heh..."

Qin Luo waved his hand, summoning the Human Emperor Banner.

Boom! The entire area was instantly shrouded in the darkness of the Human Emperor Banner.

"Putting on a mysterious act!" Men Sandao's face showed a hint of disdain.

"Today, I am definitely killing this prince!"

Boom! The instant his aura erupted, he was locked onto by an incomparably terrifying presence.

"An ant-like existence, yet so arrogant!"

Bang! The powerful aura forcibly crushed him to the ground, leaving him unable to move an inch.

"A Saint!" Men Sandao exclaimed, his voice full of horror.

He had never imagined that Qin Luo had a powerful Saint by his side.

"It's over... It's over..."

Li Yi, who was likewise enveloped within the Human Emperor Banner, finally understood. No wonder Qin Luo had seemed so unconcerned before—there was a Saint protecting him.

"Men Sandao isn't enough! What other tricks do you have? Bring them out. Otherwise, I'll be leaving."

"After that, you may not be able to find my whereabouts."

"Opportunity knocks but once!"

As Qin Luo's words fell, a soft laugh sounded.

"Great Qin's Ninth Prince, tsk tsk, you really are arrogant."

"Unfortunately, that old bastard Su Qianchen isn't by your side. No matter how capable you are, today you still won't escape this Saint's palm!"

As the voice fell, a woman wearing a black veil slowly emerged above the gorge.

A Saint—it truly was a Saint.

Men Sandao had merely been bait they had sent out. If Qin Luo's side could deal with him, they would dispatch a Saint.

If Men Sandao succeeded, everything would be easy. If he failed, that was within their expectations as well.

"You're from the Myriad Phenomena Sacred Land?" Qin Luo asked.

The woman smiled. "Ninth Prince, why don't you guess?"

"Why kill me?"

"Someone took something they shouldn't have taken and offended someone they shouldn't have offended."

"I understand. You want this thing, don't you?" Qin Luo took out an iron box and waved it at the woman.

"Talking to a smart person really saves effort. What a pity..." the woman said regretfully.

"Today, you are destined for only one path—death. Give me the item, and I can leave you an intact corpse."

"You?" Qin Luo's tone carried a trace of disdain.

"That is enough. Su Qianchen is not at your side. You have only one road left: death."

"Ninth Prince, let me tell you something. Beneath the Saint Realm, all are ants! Before me, you are an ant I can crush to death at any moment!"

"No more nonsense. Today, you are dead for certain!"

Whoosh! The woman leaped down from the sky and charged toward Qin Luo's group.

Li Yi once again stepped in front of Qin Luo. Fear showed in his eyes, but he still raised his sword against a Saint.

Within the Human Emperor Banner, Xi Huang waved her hand, and the banner instantly enveloped the woman.

"How long can you hold me off?" the woman sneered, passing through the Human Emperor Banner.

"Why aren't you making your move? What are you waiting for?"

A sharp rebuke rang in the ears of the others.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! One by one, those hiding in the shadows finally emerged.

All those who had come to watch the show had been forced into action by the female Saint's methods!

What happened today had to be borne jointly by Qin Feng, Qin Yun, the Gu Family, and the others!

She was forcing them onto the same boat.

The Bodhi Fruit had not been given away for nothing.

"Qin Luo, hand over your life!"

Gu Qingfeng had truly only come to watch the show, but after being discovered by the Saint, he had no choice. If he did not act, there was only one road left: death!

He had dragged the Gu Family into this pit. They could only walk one dark road to the end.

The other side had also offered him a choice—have the Gu Family join the force behind them. He had not hesitated much.

"I can't stop him!" Feeling Gu Qingfeng's Late Grotto-Heaven Realm strength, Li Yi's face turned pale.

"Kill!" Li Yi roared, sending forth a sword strike.

The next moment, pfft! A sword pierced through Gu Qingfeng's chest, leaving him somewhat dazed.

That was it? So weak?

A majestic voice resounded through the gorge.

"Those who dare intercept and kill a prince of the Great Qin Dynasty shall be executed!"

"Heroic Martial Marquis! It's you!" A terrified, shocked voice came from within the Human Emperor Banner.
