Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 982 938: God-Given Power

The mayor of Black Stone Town was truly enraged, wholly consumed by anger!

As a Saint, he had not been so belittled and disregarded for a long time; even before the Spiritual Energy resurgence, he was an S-grade Transcendent, revered wherever he went!

After the Spiritual Energy resurgence and the upheaval of the world, the concept of the strong ruling became ingrained in people's hearts, and he seized the opportunity to ascend to the level of a Saint, becoming a true powerhouse, greeted with utmost respect by anyone who met him!

Except for those lofty Great Saints!!

The mayor of Black Stone Town had grown accustomed to his supreme status in Black Stone Town; no one should be able to defy his will here, nor should anyone dare to resist him!!

Now, a young man suddenly appeared, whom he naturally had to kill as soon as possible!!

If such a person is not killed!!

Then the mayor's authority, his rule, his autocracy cannot be realized, and people will start to doubt if he truly can control everything, and doubt is the beginning of defiance!

That absolutely cannot happen!!

Absolutely not!!

The mayor of Black Stone Town roared in his heart, his eyes coldly fixed on Qin Heng, his entire being like a statue carved from eternal ice, emitting unparalleled chill, seemingly ready to freeze everything in the world. The surrounding air had frozen, forming tiny ice crystals scattering in the air, gathering into fog that enveloped Qin Heng.

"Die!"

A deafening roar exploded like thunder, creating a sound that woke the silence within the eternal darkness; at that moment, everyone's gaze turned to the source of the sound, to the mayor of Black Stone Town!!

They saw him raise both arms high, and the surrounding darkness began to recede, creating gigantic waves in the pitch-black void, swirling toward the center of the arms he held aloft. In a few short seconds, the surrounding darkness vanished and congealed into an over three-meter-long giant black blade in his hands!!

Screech!!

The mayor wielded the giant black blade, slashing forcefully downward, infusing all his Transcendent power into it, as if intending to fracture the heavens and earth; its momentum was terrifying. As the blade descended, it sliced through the cloud layers over a thousand kilometers long, creating a vast fissure!!

It was as though a massive crack was carved into the sky, and except for Qin Heng and Gu Xuanxuan, everyone who witnessed this scene bowed down to the mayor, exceedingly devout and humble, like facing a supreme deity!!

In fact, the power displayed by the mayor at this moment, the power capable of cleaving the "sky," what else could it be but divine!?

This is undoubtedly a god walking among men!

Supreme!!

Gu Xuanxuan closed her eyes in despair as she watched the black blade light approaching, believing the power potent enough to destroy the heavens and the earth was irresistible. She instinctively grasped Qin Heng's arm, her body slightly trembling, fear flooding her heart.

"Sister, I'm sorry, I can't continue to take care of you." Crystal tears fell from her eyes.

Boom!!

A thunderous roar erupted, Gu Xuanxuan felt an unparalleled gale sweep over, much like the shockwave from an explosive blast, so terrifying she could feel it even with closed eyes. She felt as if she would be swept away, unable to stand steady.

But at that moment, she suddenly felt a warm force emanating from Qin Heng's hand, as if bathing in a hot spring, giving comfort and allowing her to stand firm. Though the gale persisted, it no longer felt like she would be blown away.

What is happening?

Gu Xuanxuan opened her eyes in confusion, seeing the towering figure ahead; he stood before her, raising his right hand, using a single finger to block the black blade light, halting it in the air.

The impact and sharpness within the blade light completely dissipated, transforming into turbulent air waves, sweeping away those spectators uttering sarcasm, many suffering severe injuries from the impact!

Terror!

The power contained in the mayor's slash was truly terrifying!!

But what shocked everyone the most was Qin Heng!

Facing such an overwhelmingly powerful attack, he merely extended a finger to perfectly fend it off, not suffering the slightest harm, completely shielding Gu Xuanxuan behind him!

This implies his strength far surpasses the mayor!

Far beyond a Saint!!

How is this possible!

How can this be, a seemingly eighteen-to-nineteen-year-old youth turned out to exceed a Saint!?

"Impossible! This is impossible!!" The mayor's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Qin Heng, his whole body trembling, eyes filled with shock, "How can you have such power, you're a Saint. No, at your age, how can you be a Saint! You must have used some Secret Technique; it can't last long, die!!"

In the midst of his roar, an incredibly formidable momentum erupted from the mayor's body again, Transcendent power condensed into black flames, enveloping him completely like a blazing fire, dissolving the surrounding ground!

"My power is not limited to the dark domain; these black flames are the strongest force bestowed upon me by the gods!" The mayor spread his arms, lifted them toward the sky, and glanced at Qin Heng, saying, "Little beast, I don't care who you are; in the face of such divine power, you cannot resist, go to… ah!"

Bang!!

The mayor hadn't finished his sentence before a sudden shriek and a muffled sound ensued; it was Qin Heng flashing to his side, casually slapping him across the face, knocking him to the ground. The flaming black fire instantly disintegrated and vanished as if it had never appeared.

Silence!

Unimaginable silence!!

Everyone around was stunned, gazing in shock at the scene, unable to comprehend; the situation exceeded their understanding!

So incredible!

"Divine power?" Qin Heng stepped on the mayor's head, speaking lightly: "Explain, which god bestowed you this power, and where does it originate? Speak, and I might leave you a whole corpse."

The black flames the mayor used earlier looked very familiar to Qin Heng; it was a powerful and unique proto-power he had seen during his past life's travels in the human universe's starry sky, unexpectedly found in this parallel world too!

Investigating this clearly has significant importance in understanding the mysteries of this parallel world.

"You, you, you!?!?" The mayor was terrified by the sudden assault, gazing at Qin Heng in disbelief, "This is god-given power; how could you break through so effortlessly, impossible, this is impossible!"

He muttered continuously, seemingly unable to accept reality, then suddenly cried out, "High Priest, High Priest! Save me!!"
