The one who made the move was extremely proficient in assassination. He was hiding in the crowd initially, then suddenly, he burst out with such unprecedented power, akin to a half-step divine power. It was reminiscent of an assassin who is unstoppable and ruthless once on a killing spree.
Lu Qianfu exclaimed in surprise and anger.
"Emperor of Great Wu, die!"
This man's voice was cold and chilling. His speed was so fast that his afterimage remained at his original position, but his real body had already lunged to kill.
In the blink of an eye, a dagger was stabbing towards them. His mana may be similar to Yun Xi, but the sudden eruption of power in that moment was lethal even to high-ranked quasi-divinities like Qingyunzi.
"You are courting death!"
Mystic Spirit Wings, a divine artifact skill, Three Seconds of Void!
Chu Yuan sat firmly on his throne as the assassin lunged towards him, the dagger going into a state of nothingness.
Shock and anger flared within the assassin. He vividly remembers piercing Chu Yuan's heart, but now, it was as if he had merely stabbed a reflection in the water. No matter how much he stirred, it remained empty.
"Sect Master of, Daquan!" someone recognized the assassin's identity.
Missing his target, the Sect Master of Daquan decisively withdrew. He is a practitioner of the supreme path of assassins, specializing in shadowy one-hit kills. His combat skills, however, were not lasting.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Chu Yuan's eyes were gleaming with shock.
He spread out his hand, like the Heavenly Hand, and gathered a vast amount of thunder energy. The thunderous, majestic power instantly enveloped the Sect Master of Daquan, preparing to strike him down with a formidable momentum.
"Help the Sect Master of Daquan, assassinate the Emperor of Great Wu!"
Someone suddenly yelled, they could see that once Chu Yuan was killed, the so-called Great Wu army would crumble on its own.
"I'd like to see who dares to advance!"
With a loud shout from Chu Yuan, the sky reverberated with an overwhelming celestial might. This thunderous shout deterred these people, to the point they didn't dare to advance.
In just few breaths of time, the Sect Master Daquan was hit by Chu Yuan's palm. He spat out blood violently, his body trembled harshly as he staggered back.
"How can he be so powerful?"
Disbelief flickered in the eyes of Sect Master of Daquan, but he didn't panic. Instead, he snorted and said, "You'll have to wait until your next life to kill me!"
A qualified assassin not only needs the strongest burst of power but also an exceptional way of escaping. Immediately, multiple afterimages were left in place, each of them indistinguishable from the real Sect Master of Daquan.
"This is the Sect Master of Daquan's Afterimage Cloning Technique!"
However, Chu Yuan remained unphased. Upon seeing these afterimages, his fingers tightened once more, and lines of cutting lights criss-crossed.
Zila! Black cutting lights dance all around. Everyone saw the dozen or so afterimages dissipate in a split second. Then, with one instantaneous step, Chu Yuan's hand engulfed in the power of the Great Cutting Technique fell like a grid on a chessboard.
The Sect Master of Daquan froze in place. Then, he lowered his head with difficulty only to see his body marked with grid-like bloodstains.
With a scream, his entire body disintegrated into pieces, forming a grid pattern.
Brutally domineering!
A quasi-divinity expert was cut into minced meat, unable to even struggle. The swift and vicious scene happened in the blink of an eye, presenting itself brutally in front of everyone.
Everyone was stunned.
They had come prepared for heavy casualties facing the Emperor of Great Wu, but they could not accept such a scene. A quasi-divinity was slaughtered like a worthless dog, and the death was horrifyingly brutal.
"This is impossible, how can this happen, he's a quasi-divinity!"
The crowd roared in terror and astonishment, chills running down their spines.
They could face death, but they can't accept this. The young looking Emperor of Great Wu, was a terrifying God of Death in action.
"I've already said, those who resist will be killed without exception. It seems you haven't fully understood it yet. Since that's the case, Qingyunzi, as your alliance leader, I'll deal with you first. Then, you'll realize that there's only one path when you face Great Wu - surrender."
Chu Yuan, who had sliced the Sect Master of Daquan, then turned his gaze to Qingyunzi.
The arrogant and domineering aura of doing things made even Qingyunzi, who had lived for several hundred years, feel afraid.
"The Great Combat Technique, Seven Combat Forms!"
As soon as Chu Yuan had spoken, his hands had already launched towards Qingyunzi.
His current state had reached ten levels of yuan soul. With the help of his four divine abilities and various magic treasures, only a true divinity could possibly withstand his fierceness.
The pressure from Chu Yuan enveloped Qingyunzi, making the use of his mana very difficult. He clapped his hands together and pushed out, green light scattered everywhere causing the space in front of him to distort, and a vortex appeared.
With one move, Chu Yuan shattered the green vortex. He then arrived in front of Qingyunzi. Each of his palm strikes contained an infinite force, like moving mountains and seas.
Qingyunzi was at his limits. He had already gained a slight understanding of some principles of law, but he was still powerless against Chu Yuan.
He waved his great sleeves, the green light twisted into a circular shape, just like a diagram of yin and yang Tai Chi, spinning rapidly as if using a light touch to move heavy weight, trying to neutralize Chu Yuan's power.
Boom! Explosion after explosion resounded!
The green diagram he condensed was shattered by one punch from Chu Yuan. Under absolute power, all techniques are useless. Even Qingyunzi was fiercely knocked back due to the intense counter-shock.
"Do you want to die or live!"
Chu Yuan's supreme will erupted. His palm, which seemed to engulf a black hole that devoured everything, approached Qingyunzi, aiming to grab his head.
A strong sense of impending death enveloped Qingyunzi, his eyes filled with fear of Chu Yuan. He could not resist such power.
"No, no! Your Majesty, please stop! I want to live!"
Fear completely consumed Qingyunzi as he saw the chunks of Sect Master of Daquan not far away. He didn't want to die, so he quickly kneeled down and bowed deeply, "I, Qingyunzi, am willing to withdraw from the Hundred Sects Alliance, disband the Qingyun Sect on the spot, and swear allegiance to Great Wu Dynasty to serve as a subject of Great Wu!"
"Long live the Emperor!"
Once he yelled "Long live the Emperor!", all the strength in his body was drained. He had lost the will to resist.
"What about you?" Chu Yuan retracted the hand that was about to fall.
Qingyunzi's surrender signified the dissolution of the Hundred Sects Alliance. All the people present had complex and lost expressions.
Do they surrender and live, or not surrender and die?
Did they have a choice?
No, Chu Yuan had killed all the other options.
"We are willing to surrender to Great Wu and become subjects of Great Wu!"
With Qingyunzi's surrender, other clans followed suit and all pledged allegiance to Chu Yuan.
