Interfere, and Your Race Dies!
Having dealt with the aftermath, Qin Yuan'an felt at ease.
They then continued to track the Li Clan's fleet. Just in case, they even went so far as to erase all traces of the battle, leaving no room for error.
Soon, several months passed.
The Li Clan fleet circled the starry sea until it was certain that no one was following them, before finally sailing deeper into the starry sea...
Upon arriving at an asteroid belt, the Li Clan fleet discovered three dimensional stars hidden deep within, all of which were superior planes.
It can withstand the birth of Spirit Transformation cultivators. Among them, five Spirit Transformation auras emanated, including only one Spirit Transformation Late Stage, one Spirit Transformation Middle Stage, and the other three Early Spirit Transformation...
This is the territory of the Mountain Piercer Clan.
"They've spotted us! A swift and decisive battle is needed. Sixth-Tier warships, assist me in fighting them; the remaining five warships, deploy magic arrays!"
Sensing the other party's actions, Li Ping'an dared not be careless, after all, there were five Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators, one of whom was in the Spirit Transformation Late Stage...
Although he possessed many treasures, he was only slightly stronger than an ordinary Spirit Transformation, and certainly not among the top-tier Spirit Transformation.
Upon hearing the order, the remaining five Fifth-Tier warships of the Li Clan fleet began to deploy in formation. The enemy's attack definitely involved more than just five Nascent Spirit Transformation...
There are also many Nascent Soul Cultivator, and even Golden Core cultivators!
What they needed to do was to limit these miscellaneous soldiers to some extent, while relieving some of the pressure on Li Ping'an and holding off the other Spirit Transformation cultivators as much as possible...
In the blink of an eye--
The five warships simultaneously activated the core of the formation. This formation was the Linked Horizontal Battle Formation, developed by the Imperial Academy of the Great Qin Empire, specifically designed for large-scale warfare.
At the same time, the warship's puppet compartments opened, and one after another Fourth-Tier Core Formation puppets appeared like soldiers scattered from beans, instantly covering the entire battlefield!
At the same time, the Nascent Soul puppet, equipped with Mid-Grade Spirit Stone, was also launched.
At the core of the final Sixth-Tier starship, an Incense-Fire Puppet slowly emerged from the cabin. This puppet was a general-level puppet, codenamed: Li Shan!
He was comparable to a cultivator in the Early Spirit Transformation, but equipped with seven or eight Sixth-Tier Heaven-Penetrating Spirit Treasure, his combat power was no less than that of a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Middle Stage realm.
Li Ping'an, on the other hand, took the lead!
He drew upon the Great Dao Long River of the heavens, summoned his Primordial Spirit Dharma Manifestation, and unleashed a punch at several Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators in the distance.
This punch was powerful and heavy, with the momentum of one force breaking through Myriad Dharma!
The Li Shan puppet followed closely behind, summoning a giant mountain-shaped Law Treasure that pressed down on the cultivators, indirectly dividing the battlefield...
Then, the Sixth-Tier warships unleashed their full firepower, unleashing a barrage of countless spiritual lights!
In an instant, war raged.
A Early Spirit Transformation stage cultivator from the Mountain Piercer Clan was severely injured and forced to retreat, only to find the Li Shan puppet targeting him...
They seemed determined to kill him!
The moment the battlefield was divided, the combined formation of the Li Clan fleet was also deployed, enveloping the other two Early Spirit Transformation cultivators and restraining them there...
Meanwhile, Li Ping'an, bearing the onslaught of the Spirit Transformation Late Stage cultivator, headed straight for the Spirit Transformation Middle Stage cultivator from the Mountain Piercer Clan. The battlefield was ever-changing, and this one gap gave Li Ping'an an opportunity to take advantage!
"Aliens, die!"
Li Ping'an roared, and a giant palm slammed down, as if carrying the power of ten thousand mountains. The opponent took the blow squarely, and the sound of bones shattering was particularly clear. All of his internal organs were destroyed!
This palm strike was so powerful it seemed destined to kill him instantly.
"Retreat immediately!"
This person's strength is extraordinary!
Before the Spirit Transformation Middle Stage cultivator could utter a word, Li Ping'an had already unleashed his broadsword and slashed down. This strike wasn't about sharpness...
Its sheer weight is like crushing a mortal with a giant mountain!
In the next exchange, the Spirit Transformation Middle Stage cultivator's physical body was instantly shattered into bloody foam, his physical body destroyed, and his Primordial Spirit fled.
Li Ping'an was also severely injured; after all, the other party wasn't stupid...
At the same time as he made his move, the Spirit Transformation Late Stage cultivator also unleashed a killing move, shattering one of Li Ping'an's protective Heaven-Penetrating Spirit Treasure!
Furthermore, it severed his lower body, Dao Law, he had no way to recover from his injuries. This round of battle was a close contest between the two sides.
Li Ping'an Li Ping'an a Heaven-Penetrating Spirit Treasure and his own severe injuries for the body of a Spirit Transformation Middle Stage cultivator, seemingly making a small profit...
But given the enemy's superior numbers, the balance of power still leans towards the other side!
Don't you think this is a bit excessive?
"We have no enmity between us, so why have you brought such a large army here, killing my comrades at the drop of a hat? Is this the conduct of a true gentleman?"
"Judging from your attire, fellow Daoist, you must be from the Great Qin Empire. Could it be that the Great Qin Empire has become so disrespectful of other races?"
"Aren't you afraid of incurring public wrath? Won't the Qin Emperor punish you?!"
Upon hearing this—
Li Ping'an remained calm and once again summoned a magical weapon called the Horse-Slaying Law Treasure. This slash carried immense power, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing!
Damn it!
"Can't be stopped!"
The Spirit Transformation Late Stage cultivator unleashed his Law Treasure to block, only to find it instantly crushed by the Law Treasure's energy. Clearly, the opponent's horse-slaying sword was no ordinary Heaven-Penetrating Spirit Treasure!
As expected of someone from a powerful clan, the Law Treasure weapon they used was a level above theirs, likely incorporating many precious materials.
The power of that single strike was so terrifying; it's unimaginable what other tricks the opponent might have up their sleeve!
Seeing this, the Spirit Transformation Late Stage cultivator could only retreat, but as he quickly retreated, a dagger pierced through his skull...
Then, the dagger slashed down from head to toe, cleaving the man in two!
A figure slowly emerged from the Void; it was none other than Lu Zheng, the commander of the Imperial Guard, who gave the Primordial Spirit no chance to escape...
With Lu Zheng his hand, Lu Zheng instantly had his Primordial Spirit strangled and devoured by the Blood Soul White Tiger and Azure Dragon!
The other two, Early Spirit Transformation cultivators trapped by the great formation, had already perished at Qin Yuan'an's hands. He held their Primordial Spirit spirits in his grasp, tearing them apart and swallowing them alive, bite by bite.
"Imperial Guard!"
"What are you doing here? You've been following me!"
Li Ping'an was shaken to his core, as if by a raging storm. He never imagined that someone from the Imperial Guard would be targeting him...
Before he could think any further, streaks of light flashed in the distant starry sea, and hundreds of warships arrived across the star field!
That was the Qin Humans Race's tribal army, which also meant that high-ranking Qin Humans had arrived.
"Alright, Ping An, don't overthink it."
"If it weren't for Yuan An and the others cleaning up your mess, you probably wouldn't know how many people were eyeing you. The rest is up to the Qin Clan."
Li Ping'an looked over and saw that the person who came was actually the Martial Ancestor: Qin Wu!
"Master Wu, what brings you here?"
Li Ping'an hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. If Qin Xuanzi was the current head of the Qin Humans Race, then the second generation of Qin, like Qin Wu...
That is the root of the entire Qin Humans Race, the soul of the Qin Humans!
Every second-generation Qin represents the highest will of the Qin Humans Race. Even True Immortal like Qin Daoran is actually a level below the second-generation Qin in terms of status.
Alright, enough with the small talk.
"These barbarian tribes have no regard for the law and openly defy the majesty of my Great Qin. Now, I, their ancestor, decree that the Mountain Piercer Clan is guilty of a capital offense..."
"From this day forward, your names will be erased and your entire clan exterminated."
Qin Wu spoke indifferently, waved his hand, and casually issued orders, as if annihilating a race was as insignificant as the death of an ant!
In the eyes of the Qin Humans, these scattered races in the stars were nothing but dregs, a speck of dust.
Crushing them to death would be their greatest glory!
Even if you crush them to death, they'll all kneel down and say, "Good riddance!" They'll say that crushing them has dirtied the hands of the Qin Humans lord!
In the eyes of the Qin Humans, this lowly race was devoid of any kindness or cruelty; after all, no matter how pitiful ants may be...
Would the Qin Humans, being giants themselves, care?
Instead of arguing here, eliminating them through force might be the simplest and most efficient approach...
After Qin Wu issued the order...
Hundreds of warships began dropping puppets, while high-level cultivators launched a massacre. Seven or eight Spirit Transformation guards rushed into the Mountain Piercer Clan and wreaked havoc!
The resistance of the Mountain Piercer Clan seemed utterly ridiculous at this moment...
The entire process takes no more than an hour.
The five Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators and ninety-five Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Mountain Piercer Clan have all been killed; the high-level cultivators have been slaughtered...
Just like chopping melons and cutting vegetables, it's how things should be!
Only a few Golden Core cultivators survived, and that's only because they surrendered quickly enough; otherwise, they would have been killed together and their souls extracted and refined...
These cultivators, clinging to life and willing to serve as slaves to the Qin Humans, then took over the management of the entire Mountain Piercer Clan as slaves of the Qin Humans.
