Chapter 552 - The Awe-Inspiring Left Arm (2/2)

“Humph! Do you think a mere Vermilion Bird is worthy enough to present the wine to me?”

The Death Emperor pretended to be calm, even though she was clenching her teeth in secret. She unreservedly unleashed a forbidden technique to temporarily boost her strength. Following this, a boundless deathly aura rose within her body, and was emitted from her mouth like a breath.

The Breath of Death!

BANG!

It was as if the space around her was frozen.

The crowd could only see the Vermilion Bird—which was grabbing the cup in its mouth—dissipating rapidly as if its life was approaching the end. In just the blink of an eye, it completely vanished while the cup dropped from mid-air and shattered into pieces after colliding with the ground. The wine it contained caused the ground to be lit up in flames, brightly illuminating the entire hall.

Such a powerful move was nullified once again!

“How impressive! Cultivator Jiang’s cultivation is unmatched!” The First Prince yelled out in an excited manner.

“Third Brother is not looking good.”

“Third Brother is going to lose this time…”

“This Cultivator Jiang is truly terrifying. How did First Brother manage to recruit her!”

The surrounding princes recovered from their shock and gossiped among themselves. Many among them glanced at the Third Prince with pity.

The outcome was too obvious; Duan Qing was far from matching Cultivator Jiang’s strength.

As such, after three moves, the Third Prince would be losing the Heart-Uniting Liquid in the bet!

Not only was the Heart-Uniting Liquid priceless, if what happened today were to be made known to the public, those supporting the Third Prince would be disappointed, thus causing them to lose morale.

The Third Prince remained calm despite the comments from the crowd.

The Death Emperor placed her hands behind herself while her eyes were fixed onto Qin Nan’s figure, as she said in a disdainful tone, “Even though your strength is considered not bad, you are nothing but an ant before me! That’s two moves from you. Hurry up and finish your third move, and stop wasting my time!”

The crowd was astounded. Their gazes toward the Death Emperor were filled with respect.

The First Prince became more excited.

This was the definition of an expert!

Treating everything indifferently!

So what if you were Zhou Bihua’s successor?

You also stand no chance against Cultivator Jiang!

The First Prince felt like clapping his hands and cheering after thinking about the benefits he would receive when Duan Qing was defeated.

Little did they know that while the Death Emperor was speaking, the hands under her black robe were trembling slightly.

She had been forced to resist the second cup with the Breath of Death, which had consumed a significant amount of her energy.

Despite that, in order to protect her dignity, she had to clench her teeth and endure it.

“Damn it, after this is done, I must let the First Prince compensate for my loss!” the Death Emperor cursed in her heart, but her appearance remained as formidable as before.

“As expected of Cultivator Jiang, I’m utterly impressed by your strength. Since when did such a genius exist in our Sky-Scorching Ancient Kingdom? I believe everyone is as curious as I am. If that’s the case, I shall use a little trick to reveal your true identity!”

Qin Nan suddenly spoke. His words immediately caused the crowd to be curious.

Who exactly was this mysterious Cultivator Jiang?

What did she actually look like?

The Death Emperor wore a conceited look. Do you really think you could force me to show my true appearance?

In your dreams!

“I will present you this cup of wine on behalf of the crowd!”

Qin Nan reached out his left arm and grabbed another cup. Meanwhile, a terrifying force gradually awakened from a deep sleep within his left arm.

If one were to observe carefully, they would discover that the space around Qin Nan’s left arm had begun to distort.

This was the left arm of the Divine God of Battle!

“Mm?”

The Death Emperor frowned before her eyes were engulfed in black flames as she stared at Qin Nan’s left hand. Her face was filled with disbelief following a glimpse.

How...how was this possible!

Why did a mere Undefeatable Martial Dominator possess such a terrifying force?
