The Peerless Emperor

As his words fell, the alien with red-purple skin stood in front of the humans who had been blown away. He filled the gap and continued to shout, "What are you standing around for? Hurry up and regulate your breath, adjust your state, and lend a hand."

The twenty-some humans all showed guilty expressions. They quickly stood up from the ground, circulated their Soul Power to expel the congestion in their bodies, and once again rushed forward to join the fray.

Hidden from view, Lin Qian watched the alien's actions and silently praised him in his heart.

Although the alien seemed fierce toward those humans, he still stood in front of them, preventing the purple-black-skinned aliens from pursuing and potentially ending their lives.

Moreover, in Lin Qian's eyes, this purple-red-skinned alien shouting orders was at the Third Level Peak of the Nirvana Realm, clearly the strongest among the group and likely the leader of the team.

"However, this alien of the Nirvana Realm Sixth Level hasn't made a move yet," Lin Qian frowned, flipped down from the tree, and while sizing up the battlefield, he made his way toward the captured convoy.

At this moment, all of the purple-black-skinned aliens, except for their leader who remained calmly seated on his Soul Beast mount, had already charged into the fray with the ragtag rescue forces.

So not a single one of them noticed Lin Qian's arrival, and with their realms, they couldn't sense his presence either.

However, the more than three hundred captured individuals, with their handcuffs dragging on the ground, were still looking around in fear and clearly saw Lin Qian.

Especially the humans in the group, their eyes revealed shock upon seeing Lin Qian.

This handsome young man in clean white robes was walking towards them with an indifferent expression.

They couldn't understand—didn't this young man know fear? He was walking directly towards them.

One of the humans stared blankly as Lin Qian approached him, suddenly half-squatted, and placed his hand on his own handcuffs.

He saw the young man smile at him and then heard a click. The seemingly indestructible handcuffs broke apart.

Not only that, he saw that from his own handcuffs as the center, the young man's power seemed to extend along the chains and pass onto others.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of explosions sounded as everyone's handcuffs burst open,

All the prisoners gaped as they watched their handcuffs fall to the ground, clanging metallically.

The explosive noise was so loud that it caught everyone's attention, especially the handsome young man in white robes, who was especially noticeable.

Everyone was a bit stunned, not knowing how this young human had appeared out of nowhere and why no one had noticed.

And now, he had opened the handcuffs of all the prisoners!

Among the mixed groups of different races, the humans looked at the suddenly appearing young man with surprise on their faces, clearly taken aback by the abrupt appearance of a member of their own clan.

When they saw the shattered handcuffs on the ground, everyone was somewhat bewildered. It was well known that breaking the "Soul Locking Prison Chains" was incredibly troublesome. The array contained within not only suppressed the soul power within the locked person's body but also made the surrounding nature's spiritual energy thin and sparse.

As such, for the imprisoned person to escape was extremely difficult.

Moreover, these Soul Locking Prison Chains were exceedingly sturdy, and damaging them was also very difficult to accomplish unless one obtained the keys from the alien race that controlled these chains.

Therefore, seeing the Soul Locking Prison Chains collectively destroyed in such a manner left everyone dumbstruck.

"Who are you?" the purple-black-skinned alien, seated atop the tiger-shaped soul beast, asked sharply, fixating his gaze on Lin Qian, "Human, you must be an Array Master, right?"

"Array Master?" Upon hearing the alien's question, Lin Qian revealed a self-deprecating smile. The arrays he set up were meant to explode in sequence; it seemed he was fated to be out of luck with becoming an Array Master in this life.

After all, when Lin Qian had shattered the handcuffs, everyone's attention had been on the battle ahead, with no time to care for the captives behind. These aliens believed that with the Soul Locking Prison Chains, there was no need to worry about any escape.

If that leading alien had seen Lin Qian break the handcuffs with sheer force, he probably wouldn't have asked so casually and would have turned tail and run.

Unfortunately, he did not witness the scene.

The mixed rescue team from the Four Clans also retreated a bit, keeping a certain distance from the purple-black clan's troop. Though they had not suffered any casualties, they all bore injuries of varying degrees, in contrast to the purple-black aliens who were minimally wounded.

This clearly revealed the disparity in strength between the mixed rescue team of the Four Clans and those purple-black-skinned aliens.

In fact, after seeing the power gap, the leader of the rescue team, with red-purple skin, looked quite unsightly, his gaze towards the young human behind the purple-black aliens even more unpleasant.

"Liu Fang, where did that human come from? Do you recognize him?" the red-purple-skinned alien furrowed his brows, turning to a middle-aged man from the Human Clan beside him.

The man addressed as Liu Fang shook his head with a frown, his expression turning unsightly as he looked at the opposing human youth: "Never seen him before, but his luck seems more bad than good."

"The strength of the Black Corner Clan in this escort is much more formidable than we expected. It's likely that our recent actions have put them on alert," the shorter alien on the other side spoke solemnly.

At this moment, within the group of captives, Lin Qian paid no heed to the leading Black Corner Clan member and instead helped the humans around him to their feet, using his soul power to check their physical condition.

After the examination, Lin Qian sensed that something was off. In fact, he had felt that the fighting power of the humans was terrifyingly weak during the earlier rescue by the Four Clans.

Being at the Nirvana Realm, the Soul Light should not be so weak that they'd be blown away after just one blow, nearly on par with the combat power of the Shape Origin Realm.

Despite the Shape Origin Realm being just one Realm lower than the Nirvana Realm, the difference in combat power was like heaven and earth. These humans clearly possessed the Nirvana Realm, yet they lacked the corresponding power, no wonder that the red-purple alien said the humans were dragging them down.

"I am asking you, how dare you ignore me, you insect of the Human Clan, you've got some nerve!" The Black Corner Clan member seated on the tiger-type soul beast suddenly bellowed, pointing a finger towards Lin Qian.

Instantly, soul power surged from the Black Corner Clan member's fingertip, transforming into a domineering offensive strike that bombarded Lin Qian's body, seemingly engulfing his entire form.
