Silence, a deathly silence, gripped everyone present as they witnessed the scene. Lin Changqing, at the mere third level of the Core Formation stage, had defeated the third brother of the Chong family, a cultivator at the seventh level of the Core Formation stage, with a single spear strike.
This was truly unbelievable to everyone. If Lin Changqing's previous victory over the Insect Daoist, a cultivator at the fifth level of the Core Formation stage, was already earth-shattering news,
then Lin Changqing's victory over the third brother of the Chong family today had once again refreshed their understanding.
After all, this was a victory achieved by crossing four minor realms within the Core Formation stage!
This was unprecedented.
"Heavens, are we seeing things correctly? Lin Changqing has defeated an opponent by crossing four minor realms! It's truly unbelievable!" A Chu Kingdom cultivator exclaimed. In his understanding, it seemed that no one had ever been able to defeat an opponent by crossing four realms in the Core Formation stage, not even the Fourth Prince or the Thirteenth Princess.
"This is indeed true. We are not mistaken. Perhaps we are witnessing the birth of a future forbidden figure. To be in the same era as such a figure is destined to be a tragedy," said an old gray-robed Daoist from Yan Kingdom with white hair. Looking at the proud, world-overlooking figure in green outside the city walls, he suddenly felt a sense of admiration, followed by a pang of sadness.
Why would such a prodigy appear in Wu Kingdom?
Was this the heavens forsaking their Yan Kingdom, forsaking their Seven Kingdoms!
[In short, your defeat of the third brother of the Chong family caused shock among the Seven Kingdoms cultivators watching on the city walls. Even the red-clothed, peerless woman, the Chu Kingdom princess, was no exception. She narrowed her eyes, staring intently at you, as if contemplating something.]
"Big brother, save me, big brother, save me!" It was the third brother of the Chong family issuing a weak cry for help.
"Third brother!" The remaining three generals of the Immortal Palace, seeing their third brother in such a miserable state, were both anxious and heartbroken. They looked at Lin Changqing with murderous eyes.
Daring to injure their third brother so severely, they would surely eliminate this person!
"Big brother, now that things have come to this, we can only offer the Azure Heaven Lamp to kill Lin Changqing and rescue third brother!"
"That's right! I don't believe that the three of us, together with the Azure Heaven Lamp, can't kill Lin Changqing and rescue third brother!"
The second brother of the Chong family shouted loudly. The eldest brother of the Chong family also slowly took out an azure lamp from his storage bag, staring at Lin Changqing with killing intent.
At this moment, in the heart of the eldest brother of the Chong family, Lin Changqing was a person who must be eliminated.
Firstly, they had seen the miserable state of the third brother of the Chong family. The four of them had supported each other for hundreds of years as brothers. How could he not be angry that his own brother had been injured like this?
Secondly, the talent displayed by Lin Changqing was too astonishing. Crossing four realms in the Core Formation stage to defeat an opponent was something that even the Fourth Prince had never achieved. Therefore, he had to be eliminated.
"Fortunately, I cautiously borrowed the Azure Heaven Lamp from the Chu Kingdom princess, otherwise, we really wouldn't be able to deal with this Lin Changqing today," the eldest brother of the Chong family thought. With the strength that Lin Changqing had just displayed in instantly killing the third brother of the Chong family, the eldest brother estimated that even if the four of them teamed up against Lin Changqing, they would not be a match.
But with the Azure Heaven Lamp, it was different. The Azure Heaven Lamp was a high-grade Dao artifact, a spiritual treasure that was half a level above, a semi-immortal artifact!
In other words, with the Azure Heaven Lamp in hand, the eldest brother of the Chong family was confident that the three of them working together could unleash the battle power of the tenth level of the Core Formation stage. He didn't believe that they couldn't suppress and kill Lin Changqing!
"Lin Changqing, today you are doomed!"
[The eldest brother of the Chong family and the remaining two generals offered the Azure Heaven Lamp and attacked you. You felt an overwhelming power. You saw a layer of azure sky enveloping you, followed by an azure giant standing out from the lamp. This giant had an aura of destruction, comparable to the tenth level of the Core Formation stage.]
[This is actually a semi-immortal artifact. You didn't expect the four generals of the Immortal Palace to have such a trump card.]
[However, you are not afraid. You have the Seven Injuries Skill. If you disregard the loss of lifespan, you are enough to kill them.]
[Thinking this, you offered the Treasure Bottle Seal and attacked. You unleashed a large mountain, smashing it towards the azure giant, and then unleashed the Lotus Seal, smashing it towards the four Chong brothers.]
[Soon, an earth-shattering battle erupted. You fought with these three brothers. The surrounding figures were stunned by the scene. They were once again shocked by your battle power. After all, the three brothers were besieging you at this moment, and with the help of the Azure Heaven Lamp, you seemed to be holding your own.]
[After three hundred moves, as expected of the Azure Heaven Lamp, you felt signs of being unable to withstand it.]
"It seems that I have to use the Seven Injuries Skill."
[You are preparing to first sacrifice two hundred years of lifespan to increase your cultivation by two realms. This way, you will be able to break the Azure Heaven Lamp and kill these three people. On the other hand, after sacrificing two hundred years of lifespan, you will still have remaining lifespan.]
[Of course, if you sacrifice all of your lifespan, you can rise five minor realms in a row, but you don't need to. You only need to raise two more minor realms. You will be able to deal with the tenth level of the Core Formation stage.]
[However, just as you were about to sacrifice your lifespan to use the Seven Injuries Skill to amplify your battle power, you suddenly discovered that the wick of the Azure Heaven Lamp had gone out, and the summoned azure giant had also disappeared.]
[The Azure Heaven Lamp seems to be useless!]
[You don't know why there is such an unexpected situation, but you seized the opportunity.]
[You drew out the Heavenly Wolf Seven Kill Saber with your left hand and slashed forward seven times in a row, directly splitting the fourth brother of the Immortal Palace to death. Seeing their fourth brother suddenly die tragically, the eldest and second brothers cried out in grief.]
[But you didn't stop. You offered the Treasure Bottle Seal again, summoning a large mountain and directly smashing it towards the second brother. The mountain directly smashed the second brother of the Chong family to death.]
[Finally, only the eldest brother was left. You slowly killed him with a bronze ancient spear. At the last moment of his life, the eldest brother of the Chong family said the following sentence.]
"Princess, why do you want to harm us, why do you want to extinguish the Azure Heaven Lamp?" The eldest brother of the Chong family, with deep incomprehension, turned his head and looked at the red-clothed, peerless woman on the city wall.
The eldest brother of the Chong family died with unwillingness. If he had persisted for a moment longer, he would definitely have been able to suppress and kill Lin Changqing. He didn't understand why the owner of the Azure Heaven Lamp had extinguished the wick.
Only the owner of the lamp, the Chu Kingdom princess, had the power to extinguish the wick.
He didn't understand why that princess would do this.
He was eliminating enemies for her future husband!
Why did she have to extinguish the wick, harming him like this?
[The eldest brother of the Chong family died with unwillingness. The white and fat third brother had grief and complete death in his eyes. The brothers who had roamed together for more than three hundred years had died like this. He regretted it. He regretted that he shouldn't have provoked Lin Changqing, but it was too late now.]
[Afterwards, the third brother of the Chong family actually committed suicide. Before his death, he crawled towards the dead three brothers with his broken knees, seemingly wanting to be buried together.]
[What a moment of brotherly affection, but you have no sympathy, because if you had lost just now, you would have been the one to die.]
[In addition, you also remember the words of the eldest brother of the Chong family before his death. From his words, you can hear that it was actually the Chu Kingdom princess who extinguished the wick!?]
[To some extent, this did help you. At least you don't have to lose two hundred years of lifespan.]
[Three minutes later, you suddenly looked up at the red-clothed, peerless woman on the city wall, because she had secretly communicated with you.]
[You asked her the reason for extinguishing the wick. The Chu Kingdom princess transmitted her voice to you like this.]
"I want to save Chu Kingdom." This was the answer of the Chu Kingdom princess.
