Chapter 274: I'll Smash You to Death
The will of the inheritor of the legacy artifact, along with the voice it contained, immediately manifested within the entire space of the stone chamber, echoing persistently and endlessly.
As soon as this will burst forth, Bai Lingli was already waiting to see Lin Qian make a fool of himself.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Zide's face also changed drastically, "This is bad!"
Previously, no one from the Swift Hidden Clan had entered this stone chamber, so the legacy artifact was essentially in a dormant state. Thus, when he touched it, there was only a passive reaction—it was nothing significant.
But now that the people of the Swift Hidden Clan had appeared in the stone chamber, the legacy artifact had woken up in a certain sense.
Now that Lin Qian touched it, of course it would trigger a violent reaction from the legacy artifact, generating an extremely powerful repelling force.
The visible azure breeze had already begun to transform into a hurricane, and the domineering will that was not to be infringed upon spread throughout the entire stone chamber.
It was not just Lin Qian, all of them in the stone chamber who were not of the Swift Hidden Clan were also within the range of the legacy artifact's will's onslaught.
"Attack!" Bai Lingli, while enjoying the schadenfreude, was very clear that now was a good opportunity to strike.
With the awakened legacy artifact being approached by outsiders, the burst of power might not be fatal, but it was enough to seriously injure them.
Strike the iron while it's hot, go for the kill!
Bai Lingli was not just going to watch Lin Qian and the others make a spectacle of themselves; instead, he was not going to miss such a good opportunity to attack.
Upon hearing Bai Lingli's command, the originally concealed members of the Swift Hidden Clan each drew their short daggers. Many quickly rushed toward Lin Qian and his companions, their Soul Power already pushed to the limit, ready to erupt upon engagement.
Among the rushing members of the Swift Hidden Clan were the twin brothers that Lin Qian had previously pointed out.
Moreover, Bai Lingli himself took action, charging towards Lin Qian who was reaching out towards the legacy artifact with his back towards him.
As he charged at Lin Qian, his Soul Power was quietly circulating within his body, using his Talent to gradually turn into a phantom before disappearing into thin air.
When the will of the ancient artifact exploded in front of him, assaulting his sea of consciousness, the only expression on Lin Qian's face was one of mockery.
"You want me to leave? Do you have the right?" At that moment, Lin Qian suddenly opened his eyes wide and pressed his extended hand firmly down onto the legacy artifact, "Dare to be presumptuous in front of me!"
As Lin Qian uttered the word "me" in a royal context, nine splendid golden-colored five-clawed Golden Dragons burst forth from his body, swirling around him.
The Minghuang Emperor's Thunder Soul Power ignited, and the imperial robe of intent formed around his entire body, igniting the nine dragons. The overwhelming imperial might crushed the ancient will of the Swift Hidden Clan's powerful forebear.
Before Lin Qian, there was only submission.
In an instant, before others could react, the ancient will that had pervaded the entire stone chamber had utterly dissipated, replaced by the imperial dominance that made their knees involuntarily bend!
However, among them, Ye Xin did not feel this effect but rather a faint vermilion light emerged within her, blending with Lin Qian's imperial dominance in perfect harmony.
But this manifestation was fleeting, and neither Lin Qian nor the others noticed it.
Bai Lingli and those who were originally charging at Lin Qian and his companions didn't anticipate this turn of events; they directly collided with the protective barrier formed by the nine dragons, the immense shockwave flinging each of them away.
Splutter! Splutter! Splutter!
One after another, the members of the Swift Hidden Clan spat out blood from the violent impact and were sent flying.
Some fell to the ground, while others crashed into the bodies of other members of the Swift Hidden Clan, revealing their presence.
And at this moment, Lin Qian suddenly disappeared from his spot, and in the next moment, he was already closing in on Bai Lingli, who had been sent flying.
Facing the sudden approach of Lin Qian, Bai Lingli's face showed surprise yet no panic.
As the strongest member of the team, residing in the Life and Death Realm and Heart Realm, he was just a bit shaken at heart but had not suffered any substantial damage.
"Just a little kid in the Life and Death and Body Realms who can only fool people with some tricks," Bai Lingli said. With a flip of his body, he had already steadied himself and, under the swirling breeze, disappeared from his original spot.
When Bai Lingli reappeared, he was already behind Lin Qian, with a ferocious smile on his face, drawing a short dagger, ready to ruthlessly stab at his back.
Crack!
Crimson Thunder Soul Power instantly burst out from inside Lin Qian's body, clinging to the burning robe of imperial intent he wore, and at this moment, the short dagger wrapped in Bai Lingli's Soul Power also let out a piercing shriek, stabbing towards him.
"Needle Point Sudden Kill!"
Bai Lingli's heart followed suit, and the short dagger in his hand seemed to grow longer, finally colliding with Lin Qian's body.
Witnessing this, the other members of the Swift Hidden Clan looked at Lin Qian as if he were already a dead man.

Who knows how many enemies, when facing their captain's soul skill, had only the end of being pierced through their soft spots, facing a dead-end.
Besides, there were absolutely no other possibilities.
Boom!
The loud collision echoed throughout the stone chamber, and all members of the Swift Hidden Clan were dumbfounded.
Because, at this moment, they personally witnessed what the other possibility of a dead-end was after their captain used Needle Point Sudden Kill.
Bai Lingli looked at the fractured Soul Device dagger in his hand, completely dumbfounded!
This Soul Device was bestowed to him by his young master, always invincible in sharpness, and countless enemies had died regretfully at the point of this needle-point dagger.
But since he learned this soul skill, he had never seen this happen before. After hitting Lin Qian, not only was the other party completely unharmed, but his beloved Soul Device had also shattered to pieces!
Lin Qian withdrew his hand that had blocked his back, slowly turned around, and looking at Bai Lingli with the broken dagger, smiled and said, "Surprised? But now I have to tell you..."
At this point, Lin Qian's expression suddenly changed, and he roared angrily, "You motherfucker trying to blow up my ass?!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Lin Qian picked up something in his hand and smashed it hard against Bai Lingli's forehead.
The other members of the Swift Hidden Clan looked on in astonishment; some were on the verge of fainting, while others were furiously gritting their teeth.
Because the object Lin Qian used as a brick to smash was none other than the Treasure Bead with wings, the cultural heirloom of the Swift Hidden Clan.
"You..." Bai Lingli retreated in pain, one hand covering his head, the other pointing at Lin Qian in front of him, shocked beyond belief.
"What you?" Lin Qian's Soul Power fully erupted, the Crimson Thunder Soul Power ignited the Martial Soul's properties, and his formidable physical strength was amplified to the extreme. He picked up the cultural heirloom of the Swift Hidden Clan and smashed it again against the other's forehead.
Thud!
"Scoundrel, that is our clan's cultural heirloom; you dare to profane it, to let it be stained with blood!" Bai Lingli covered his bleeding head and protested at Lin Qian.
"You still dare to yell?" Lin Qian glared and charged again with the cultural heirloom in hand, "Preparing to stab my ass with a dagger and you dare to yell at me? Had it not been for my quick reflexes, blocking with my hand, today would have been a huge embarrassment for me. If I don't smash you to death, I won't carry the Lin surname!"
