Strongest War Emperor

You Yue and Evil Song had already learned a great deal from Shen Lang about the power of the Silent Extinction Netherworld Finger.

Back when Ying Huo was eavesdropping on the Third Prince’s secret meeting with the experts from the White Bone Hall, he had been hit by this very Silent Extinction Netherworld Finger. Even at less than fifty percent of the Third Prince’s Power, the attack had nearly sent Ying Huo to the Yellow Springs.

Though You Yue and Evil Song were confident, their hearts were still pounding with a bit of apprehension.

Just as You Yue and Evil Song were preparing to receive the Silent Extinction Netherworld Finger head-on, Shen Lang suddenly appeared!

The two exchanged a glance, and the hearts that had leaped into their throats finally settled back into place.

Unlike You Yue and Evil Song, when the Third Prince saw Shen Lang, his expression changed drastically, and he instantly retreated a hundred meters!

”Shen Lang!”

A bone-deep hatred and profound fear filled the Third Prince’s eyes.

CLANG!

The response was a beam of Sword Qi that streaked across the sky!

Shen Lang didn’t waste a single word. A murderous Sword Qi enveloped the area as the Immortal Celestial Saber was unsheathed, and he struck with a single slash!

An unparalleled blade of light shot across the sky, slashing out at twice the speed of sound. In the blink of an eye, it was right above the Third Prince’s head!

Although the Third Prince was on guard, he never expected Shen Lang to attack without a word!

And at such an incredible speed!

”Boundless Ocean, Mad Dragon Upholding the Heavens!”

Feeling the incomparably sharp Sword Intent, the Third Prince’s face twisted into a ferocious scowl. Gang Qi erupted from his palms as he thrust them upward in a heaven-upholding gesture!

Two high-pressure blasts of fist wind crisscrossed, letting out a piercing shriek as they instantly slammed into the terrifying Sword Qi!

The moment the peerless Sword Qi met the crisscrossing blasts of fist wind, a blinding light erupted in the air. A powerful shockwave, like a falling meteor, pulsed out from the point of contact, layer after layer!

And from just this one swift, casual slash from Shen Lang, the difference in their strength was instantly clear!

The Sword Qi shattered the Third Prince’s fist wind and continued its descent, slashing down onto his arm!

The Third Prince let out a muffled grunt, his body plummeting downward!

’We’re both at the King Martial Realm First Heaven, so why is the gap between us so huge! I refuse to accept this!’

The Third Prince’s face was savage as he roared in his heart.

Even though he had personally witnessed Shen Lang casually defeat Dugu Zhange, he still hadn’t imagined Shen Lang was this powerful!

He had never, ever thought the gap between them would be so immense!

Against such a casual slash, he had used all his strength to resist, yet that violent Sword Qi had still burst into his body. It rampaged within, threatening to shred his meridians like dead wood!

The Third Prince gritted his teeth. While controlling his Spiritual Power to resist the rampaging Sword Qi in his body, he twisted and spun like a whirlwind, moving sideways to dissipate the mountain-like pressure from the attack.

Then, with a flick of his fingers, he shot several streams of Finger Wind, imbued with an aura of silent extinction, toward Shen Lang!

”Silent Extinction Netherworld, Sea of Sin and Birth of Demons!”

Shen Lang’s eyes narrowed. He rested his long saber on his shoulder and casually swiped his left hand through the air!

A flash of fire appeared, and a circular ring of flame two feet in diameter instantly materialized!

Within that ring, an almost crimson flame burned fiercely. The surrounding space seemed to warp for a moment, and the temperature nearby soared!

Even You Yue and Evil Song, who were more than a hundred meters away, subconsciously felt as if they had been transported to the depths of underground magma!

TSSSSS!

All four streams of the Silent Extinction Netherworld Finger were enveloped by this crimson ring of fire. With a few sizzling sounds, they vanished without a trace, ceasing to exist!

”The Silent Extinction Netherworld Finger is nothing special after all! HAHAHAHA!”

His wild laughter echoed, shaking the heavens and the earth!

Shen Lang pointed his saber forward, and a world-dominating Sword Intent swept across the battlefield. With a flash, he was in front of the Third Prince, bringing his saber down on his head!

”Impossible!”

The Third Prince’s eyes went wide. He had just seen his Silent Extinction Netherworld Finger Wind silently burned to nothing by the flames and hadn’t even had time to react before Shen Lang appeared before him like a ghost. For a moment, he was so scared his soul nearly scattered!

The Third Prince raised his arms, bringing both his swords up to block the Immortal Celestial Saber in the nick of time!

CLANG!

The sound of metal clashing rang through the air. The twin swords in the Third Prince’s hands were knocked back, and he violently spat out a mouthful of blood!

His body was sent flying backward like a missile!

They were both at the King Martial Realm First Heaven, but the difference in their Cultivation was simply incalculable!

This was the same Third Prince who had successfully ambushed and heavily wounded Nangong Ziye, an expert at the King Martial Realm Sixth Heaven, yet he couldn’t even take a single move from Shen Lang!

Shen Lang’s speed was simply too extreme; it was completely unlike anything an ordinary King Martial Realm cultivator should be able to display!

After sending the Third Prince flying with a single slash, Shen Lang’s figure appeared behind him in the next instant!

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

From the rear, the left, and the right!

Three slashes from three directions, each one with the power to shatter the heavens and destroy the earth!

He battered the Third Prince so hard that the latter couldn’t stop spitting up blood!

Amidst the continuous explosive sounds, brilliant sparks scattered in all directions. The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was stirred into a frenzy, and the clouds above churned violently!

CLANG!

With this final slash, Shen Lang knocked the twin swords straight out of the Third Prince’s hands. He then kicked him in the chest, sending the enraged and frantic prince flying!

”With this level of skill, you can’t even take one of my moves, yet you dare to provoke me? Xu Daolin, you weren’t this stupid before, were you?”

Shen Lang didn’t give chase. He looked at the Third Prince out of the corner of his eye and spoke.

The Third Prince, his hair disheveled, gasped for breath while staring venomously at Shen Lang. His palms were covered in blood, having been completely split open by the force of the blows!

”Shen Lang, you can’t kill me! You can’t possibly kill me!”

Like a madman, the Third Prince shrieked, ”I am the one chosen by Master Zhulong! If you dare touch me, your entire family will be annihilated!”

”Come on! Kill me! If you have the guts, cut me down with one slash right now!”

”Since I can’t even take a single one of your slashes, why were your attacks all lethal, yet you still spared my life? Haha!”

”You’re courting death!” Shen Lang’s eyebrows shot up, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. An unparalleled Sword Intent swept the area as he raised his saber high overhead. Glimmering with the light of lightning, he slashed down at the Third Prince!

This slash was different from any of the previous ones!

The Sword Qi of this slash was almost half the size, but the Sword Intent was condensed, carrying an aura of death and silent extinction!

The Third Prince’s eyes bulged. He never imagined Shen Lang would actually dare to kill him... In his haste, he brought out a Round Shield to protect himself while desperately darting away at an angle!

PSCHT!

As expected, the Round Shield was no match for Shen Lang’s Sword Skill. The moment it appeared, it was sliced in two.

Shen Lang’s expression was cold. With a flicker, he once again caught up to the Third Prince.

”Die!”

Shen Lang let out a soft shout and swung a simple, unadorned slash horizontally at the Third Prince!

Despair filled the Third Prince’s eyes. Knowing he couldn’t block this slash, he completely abandoned his defense. Instead, he thrust his palms forward like swords, blasting the Qi of the Silent Extinction Netherworld toward Shen Lang!

Shen Lang’s expression remained unchanged. He swung his saber back in an upward arc, knocking the Third Prince’s arms aside, then thrust his left palm toward the prince’s forehead!

This palm strike was incredibly fast, and it was wreathed in a layer of Vermilion Bird Divine Fire.

If it landed, the Third Prince would undoubtedly die!

In that split second, a whip that looked like a Flood Dragon shot out from behind the Third Prince. It instantly wrapped around his waist and violently yanked him back more than a hundred meters!

He had narrowly avoided Shen Lang’s palm strike!

Xue Dangdang’s figure slowly materialized in the air.

”It won’t be so easy to kill him!”

Xue Dangdang cracked her long whip, leaving a trail in the air that looked like a rift in the void.

Shen Lang gently shook his head. ”Dingdang, step aside. I’m going to kill him. You can’t stop me.”

”Then let’s see you try!” Xue Dangdang shouted angrily, whipping her long whip into a blur!

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The sound of a howling gale filled the air, and the entire world seemed to flip upside down in an instant!

Shen Lang was shocked. ”The Celestial Artifact Kunlun Whip!”

What other Divine Weapon besides the Celestial Artifact Kunlun Whip could possibly catch an unprepared Shen Lang off guard, causing spatial chaos and turning the world upside down?

Although a Celestial Artifact was powerful, it was nothing in Shen Lang’s eyes.

The reason Shen Lang’s expression changed so drastically was... this Kunlun Whip was the Lifebound Celestial Artifact of the Reincarnation Marquis, Naluo King, one of the Eight Celestial Kings of the War God Hall!

Not long ago, the Reincarnation Marquis, Naluo King, was hunting Lan Mengling alongside the Asura King, Zi You. Now, his Lifebound Celestial Artifact was in Xue Dangdang’s hands...

’Could it be that Reincarnation has already been killed by Lan Mengling and the others?’

’No! That’s not right. A faint wisp of Reincarnation’s Divine Thought is still inside this Kunlun Whip. He’s still alive!’

Shen Lang, whose gaze had been cold but whose expression was calm, suddenly erupted with an unimaginable aura!

”Dingdang, tell me, where did you get this whip?”

Shen Lang’s voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes were like those of an Ancient Wild Beast, ready to choose its prey and devour it!

”I... Where I got it is none of your business! Why should I tell you?” Xue Dangdang’s face turned pale with fright, and she stumbled backward repeatedly!

Shen Lang’s fists cracked as he clenched them. He took a deep breath, suppressed his surging rage, and then asked again, ”Did Lan Mengling give it to you?”

Seeing his terrifying gaze and the constant twitching at the corner of his eye, Xue Dangdang felt a pang of pity and blurted out, ”Sister Lan gave it to me, so what? What business is it of yours?”

Shen Lang glanced at the Third Prince, who was taking this opportunity to flee, then slowly turned around.

A flash of light appeared in the air, and the figures of Yuan Bupu and Yin Qianshang were revealed.

Only then did Shen Lang say, ”Those four from the White Bone Hall have already been severely wounded by Nangong Ziye and have fled. With their current injuries, they can’t have gotten far. Have Duanmu Zheng hunt them down. Don’t let a single one escape!”

”The four of you, stand guard over the Dragon Bone Wilderness. Don’t make any rash moves.”

You Yue, Evil Song, and the other two nodded sharply. ”Yes, my lord! Rest assured!”

Shen Lang glanced at Xue Dangdang and sighed softly.

Before Xue Dangdang could speak, Shen Lang flicked his sleeve and flew swiftly in the direction where he had previously sensed the Vermilion Bird’s aura!

That was the northwest region of the Third Floor.

Xue Dangdang stood stunned for a moment, then stomped her foot hard in mid-air and chased after Shen Lang...
