With effortless grace, the Divine Dragon Empress killed a Sovereign Realm expert. No one had anticipated this.
The fact that she did it right in front of them, directly making the kill, made everyone even more terrified.
They all clearly saw her actions.
Especially when she killed that person, they watched it happen with their own eyes.
However, they were completely baffled as to how she had accomplished it.
They couldn’t understand her sudden appearance or her disappearance.
At this moment, it hadn’t yet crossed their minds that the Divine Dragon Empress might have mastered the power of laws.
In their imagination, the most she could have done was master some powerful Dao technique or possess a mighty Dharma treasure.
That would explain how she could kill so easily.
But even so, they were still utterly terrified.
“You, you…!”
“What? Still unwilling to hand over all the resources of your Blackwater Empire to me? Don’t blame me for unleashing a massacre then!!”
After saying this, the Divine Dragon Empress vanished again.
When she reappeared, she was right beside another Sovereign Realm expert.
The sword intent condensed in her hand was already raised high, ready to strike down.
Her speed was so fast that the Sovereign about to be killed had no time to react.
Not only that, but on the other side, another figure of the Divine Dragon Empress condensed into existence, appearing before a different Sovereign, also holding a sword raised high.
Then, the Divine Dragon Empress appeared beside four more Sovereign experts. Beside each one stood a figure of the Empress.
All of them were holding swords, swinging them down fiercely at those Sovereigns.
In an instant, it happened.
Although the Divine Dragon Empress was killing these Sovereigns one by one.
But because of her incredible speed, everyone saw the afterimages she left behind.
They also saw the heads of six Sovereign experts fly into the air, one after another.
Though it was sequential, the time between each head being severed was less than a single breath.
With her ultimate speed, the Divine Dragon Empress killed six Sovereigns in the span of one breath.
This feat shocked everyone present.
Many people didn’t realize that this was merely the effect of the Empress’s extreme speed.
To many onlookers, it seemed like the Empress possessed the ability to create clones.
Moreover, each of her clones seemed capable of killing a Sovereign expert.
With this thought in mind, many people’s hearts filled with utter panic.
In just a few breaths, six Sovereigns had died before their eyes, completely powerless to resist.
Watching this scene unfold, it was hard not to feel like those Sovereigns were as helpless as chicks, waiting to be slaughtered by the Divine Dragon Empress.
Since the Empress could kill those six Sovereigns like chickens, she could certainly do the same to them, the other Sovereigns present.
Thinking this, many Sovereigns couldn’t help but feel their legs go weak, yearning to flee.
It was at this moment that someone shouted loudly.
“Everyone, gather towards me! Come together, all of you! We’ll join forces to resist the Divine Dragon Empress!!”
“Don’t scatter! Whatever you do, don’t separate! Otherwise, the Empress will easily pick us off one by one!!”
They didn’t understand how the Empress could instantly appear beside their people and kill a Sovereign.
But there was one thing they did understand: when the Empress killed, she did it one person at a time.
This meant that while her strength was immense, it might only allow her to deal with one Sovereign at a time, in short bursts.
If they gathered together now, to jointly resist the Empress, they might still have a chance to survive.
Those Sovereigns who had been thinking of fleeing immediately stopped in their tracks and headed towards the Sovereign who had shouted.
Only two Sovereigns, though loyal to the Blackwater Empire, were truly cowardly. As soon as the Empress made her move, they were scared out of their wits.
So, while the others gathered, these two started frantically fleeing outward.
But they had only taken two steps when their bodies froze.
Because behind each of them stood a figure of the Divine Dragon Empress. In the next instant, she cleaved their bodies in two with a single sword stroke, extinguishing their primordial spirits.
Two more Sovereigns of the Blackwater Empire were dead.
The remaining Sovereigns huddled together, each feeling a deep sense of danger.
They could all feel the immense pressure the Empress was exerting on them.
“Who has defensive Dharma treasures? Bring out your defensive treasures! If we can just block the Empress’s attacks, we can definitely survive!!”
“Yes, we can combine our strength! Multiple people can jointly refine a single treasure! That way, we can surely withstand her attacks!!”
“Everyone, don’t panic! Try to find a flaw in the Empress’s technique! If we can find her weakness, we can still turn this around!!”
At this moment, these Sovereigns were like panicked soldiers on a battlefield.
They no longer dared to act alone; they clung together.
Simultaneously, every single one of them summoned their Dharma treasures, hoping to use them to defend against the Empress’s attacks.
It must be said, their idea was a good one. The appearance of their defensive treasures did cause the Empress some trouble.
Because of this, the Empress took out the royal sword she carried, a treasure level weapon used by Sovereigns.
Then, she struck again.
This time, her method was a bit different.
Before, she condensed sword intent into a blade to kill the Sovereigns.
Now, she wielded an actual sword, imbuing it with countless types of sword intent.
Then, with one swing, the sword intent rained down upon the gathered Sovereigns like a storm.
The fierce sword intent clashed with the powerful Dharma treasures, producing an incredibly loud booming sound.
Then, one Sovereign’s treasure shattered with a bang.
The power of a top-tier Sovereign sword combined with countless sword intents was simply something their treasures couldn’t withstand.
After all, their defensive treasures were not invincible.
Once their defenses were broken, killing them was as easy as killing chickens for the Empress.
Though they wanted to fight back, against the Empress’s ultimate speed, they were helpless.
Her attack speed was simply beyond their ability to counter.
And so, the Sovereigns of the Blackwater Empire watched as another of their comrades fell under the Empress’s blade.
