Chapter 489: Chapter 488: Defeated General

Qin Ya?

’Qin? I’ve never heard of any Noble Families in Qingkong City with that surname.’

The leading Golden Armor General’s brow furrowed. He spoke in a cold voice, "Qin Ya? I ask you, are you a commoner or a disciple from one of the Noble Families? State your identity truthfully."

’Identity?’ Qin Ya had no such thing here in Qingkong Giant City.

Seeing Qin Ya’s hesitation, the Golden Armor General’s voice deepened as a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He barked, "Men, seize him!"

"Yes, sir!"

As soon as the words fell, a dozen or so soldiers in Armor, all at Celestial Human Perfection in their Cultivation, brandished their greatswords and charged at Qin Ya. Various Mysterious techniques manifested, creating an impressive display of power!

"How troublesome."

Qin Ya sighed, but he had no intention of being captured without a fight. A black light flashed in his hand as the Breaking Army Spear appeared, its sharp edge glinting. It cut through the air in a sudden thrust.

CLANG! CLANG!

The Breaking Army Spear traced a mysterious arc, striking the greatswords in the hands of the dozen soldiers in an instant. A shower of sparks erupted. The soldiers felt a vast power vibrating up their arms, so immense that the skin between their thumbs and forefingers split open, and they could no longer grip their weapons.

SPLASH! SPLASH! A dozen or so greatswords fell into the lake. The soldiers were aghast at the sight. The Golden Armor General’s pupils contracted, and a grave expression appeared on his face. ’Such incredible speed, such precise angles...’

This young man before him was a battle-hardened warrior who had been through a Hundred Battles!

"Allow me to test you myself!"

From that single move, the Golden Armor General could tell Qin Ya’s combat prowess was extraordinary, far beyond what his ordinary soldiers could handle. With a cold shout, a light flashed in his hand, and a long, narrow blade appeared. He slashed at Qin Ya like a flash of lightning.

Qin Ya swung his Breaking Army Spear to meet the long blade. Sparks flew, accompanied by a powerful Qi Force that swept outwards, kicking up countless waves. The Profound Vessel beneath their feet instantly disintegrated into splinters, forcing them to fight while standing on the water’s surface.

"A fine spear, and a marvelous Spear Technique!"

The Golden Armor General exclaimed in admiration. He then brandished his long blade, unleashing a dense flurry of blade glints that seemed to move with a strange rhythm, completely enveloping Qin Ya.

"A fine Blade Technique."

Qin Ya smiled faintly, but then a flurry of spear shadows shot out to clash with the blade glints. The spear’s tip broke through the light, heading straight for the Golden Armor General’s shoulder. Its speed was so fast and its angle so tricky that even a Martial Arts King couldn’t defend against it.

CLANG! The spear tip struck the Golden Armor General’s shoulder. Sparks flew as the Golden Armor emitted a faint glow, managing to withstand the sharpness of the Breaking Army. Then, the spear trembled, and an immense Power of Nature erupted!

With a BOOM, the Golden Armor General was blasted over a hundred zhang away.

’This boy’s combat power is actually comparable to a King’s.’ The Golden Armor General’s heart sank, his eyes betraying his shock. He let out a deep shout and swept his long blade across the water’s surface. Countless currents surged, forming a massive water blade. It swirled with an incomparably sharp Blade Qi as it slashed violently towards Qin Ya.

The Blade Qi raged, splitting the lake’s surface in two. The water on both sides crashed down with a RUMBLE, forming a massive trench. Its power was astounding. Even the Celestial Human soldiers watching from the sidelines paled and retreated several hundred zhang.

Facing this astonishing Blade Qi, Qin Ya’s gaze sharpened. He thrust his Breaking Army Spear forward, making the very air vibrate. The tip of the spear trembled at high speed, forming a blurry halo of light around it. Its power was astonishing. This was the Mysterious Technique of Mysterious Speed... Extreme Stab!

The Breaking Army Spear slammed directly into the Blade Qi. Its ultimate piercing power ran it through. Then, the force of the Vibration spread through the Blade Qi like ripples, forcibly shattering the True Essence and True Intent contained within it!

"A Mysterious Technique! And at least a Fourth-Grade Level one!"

The Golden Armor General’s pupils shrank, a look of shock on his face. The Blade Qi he had just unleashed was also a Mysterious Technique, but it was only Third-Grade Level. He, however, had a King’s Cultivation! For Qin Ya to shatter it with a single spear thrust... his combat strength was simply inconceivable!

Qin Ya retracted his spear, the corners of his mouth tilting up. He was extremely satisfied with the effect of Extreme Stab. In the past, Extreme Stab’s power was nowhere near this potent. However, now that his Spear Technique had reached the point where Skill Nears Dao, his control over it had reached a terrifying level, and the power of Extreme Stab had skyrocketed!

Although it was a Fourth-Grade Profound Technique, its power was in no way inferior to a Fifth-Grade Level one.

"To have mastered a Fourth-Grade Profound Technique at such a young age and to wield it with such proficiency... I have never heard of a figure like you among the younger generation of Qingkong Giant City. And you trespass on restricted military grounds. How can you say you don’t have ill intentions?"

The Golden Armor General snorted coldly. His Iron Water True Intent, comprehended to the Third Heaven of the Mysterious, erupted. The surrounding lake water suddenly boiled, forming countless sharp and incomparably hard Water Needles that shot towards Qin Ya like a torrential downpour!

’I can’t block this head-on.’

Qin Ya’s Mysterious Speed erupted. He dodged to the side just before the Water Needles arrived and charged towards the Golden Armor General. He suddenly lashed out with his spear, only to see the surrounding lake water surge to form a Water Shield. The spear struck it as if hitting a slab of Profound Iron, sending out ripples but failing to break through.

As he frowned, Water Needles suddenly protruded from the water’s surface beneath his feet, stabbing towards his throat. He moved, retreating at high speed, but countless more Water Needles, each imbued with a sharp aura, erupted from the water wherever he passed.

"Four Symbols, Frost!"

As Qin Ya dodged using his Mysterious Speed, an endless cold energy burst forth, condensing into flakes of Frost in the air. The lake’s surface for a thousand zhang around turned into solid ice.

"Hmph. Condensing ice? What’s the use of that?"

The Golden Armor General shouted coldly and unleashed his True Intent. The lake water within ten thousand zhang suddenly churned. The thousand zhang of ice that Qin Ya had just created instantly shattered. Then, a massive amount of lake water formed a great sphere, trapping Qin Ya within!

Under the sunlight, the water shimmered like crystal. Immediately after, towering pillars of water shot in from all directions. Qin Ya dared not be careless. Wreathing his spear with the Power of Nature, he danced it around his body, creating a dense net of spear shadows that constantly struck the water pillars, creating huge, booming sounds.

’This water is like steel.’

The vibrations left Qin Ya’s arm numb. His figure then flickered with Ghostly Charm, and he stopped blocking head-on. He charged swiftly toward the Golden Armor General, thrusting his spear. It vibrated the surrounding air as Extreme Stab showed its might once more, forcibly piercing through the water barrier!

"You’ve lost."

The Breaking Army Spear was pointed at the Golden Armor General’s throat. He swallowed hard, and his True Intent dissipated. The immense volume of water surrounding them fell back into the lake, creating surging waves, much like the shock in the Golden Armor General’s heart, which would not calm for a long time.

"General!"

The faces of the men watching from a distance changed, and they immediately rushed over, surrounding Qin Ya. They held their weapons, facing him with grave expressions. One of them said coldly, "Trespassing on restricted military grounds and holding a general hostage are major crimes. Surrender now and you might find a way to live."

Qin Ya’s brow twitched. He took a deep breath, a cold light in his eyes as he said, "I’ve already told you, I wandered in here by accident. If you keep pushing me, this spear in my hand... will be stained with blood."
