Chapter 1541: Duan Hong at the Back

"We’re both disciples of Baicao College after all. Among us four in the Ouyang Jinwei region, Lin, Senior Brother, if anything unexpected happens, other regions might come and snatch the secret of Baicao for themselves. What should we do?"

While Liu Shuanger was speaking, she glanced at Lin Qiu, hinting him not to do anything foolish.

Lin Qiu, who had just used his energy to push Sun Hao and Zhang Dan far away, paused slightly at the threshold of the broken temple. A hint of doubt appeared on his fierce face.

Seeing this kind of situation, where the mantis catches the cicada and the yellow sparrow waits behind, too many times, in such an unregulated arena, having even a little more strength gives an absolute advantage!

If these three people can still face it themselves, if they were to attract those abnormal experts from the One Mansion or even directly bring over the observers, all their efforts would be in vain!

Immediately, Lin Qiu dismissed the urge to go in and get the treasure first. A bright gleam flashed in his eyes, and a fierce aura filled the air. Like a tidal wave, it surged towards everyone present. Golden light enveloped his body as his strength of the Nine Stages of the Yuan Void Realm was unleashed!

Lin Qiu’s gaze turned cold, and he said to the crowd in a deep voice.

"Good! I’ll stay here and keep watch! May Duan Hong, that lad, come out safely. Otherwise, I’ll be the first to go in, and none of you will be able to snatch it from me!"

"Bang!"

Suddenly, Lin Qiu held a shining golden hammer, as heavy as a cannon, and placed it firmly on the ground. The booming sound echoed throughout the world.

Immediately, the whole ground shattered, and cracks spread rapidly like a spider web.

The onlookers were frightened and pale. They quickly made way for a path, swallowing nervously and feeling scared.

"We can’t afford to mess with them, they are much stronger than us! Let’s just join in the excitement!" everyone thought.

Meanwhile, the three people, Shen Mo, Qin Yu, and Liu Shuanger, who were suspended in mid-air, were deep in thought, considering how to make a powerful impact and obtain the hidden Baicao, becoming the descendants of Duanmu.

After some time, Sun Hao and Zhang Dan became more serious, their faces showing concern. They were worried about what would happen if Duan Hong really got into trouble inside!

Liu Shuanger looked confident and graceful, gently stroking a purple whip covered in cold shimmer. It resembled a purple python spitting out red venom, fierce and intimidating.

"Senior brothers, I have always been cultivating with the two of you, but we are also good friends. How about the three of us join forces and deal with that fat guy first? Then we can enter the Li Clan’s ancestral temple together, and surely we will easily obtain the hidden Baicao. If we take too long, even if we don’t attract Senior Brother Liu or Ouyang Jinwei, once she arrives, as a true direct disciple, she can easily defeat us all without any effort. That would be troublesome!"

Hearing this, Shen Mo and Qin Yu exchanged a look. Since there was no rule about how many people could obtain the secret of Baicao, Lin Qiu was indeed causing trouble. Liu Shuanger’s suggestion had some sense to it.

All of a sudden, Shen Mo’s face turned cold and he said in a deep voice, "Qin Junior Brother, Liu Martial Sister, lend me a hand! Let’s take care of Lin Qiu first!"

"Bang!"

Amidst the light and shadows in the sky, several golden figures swiftly spun in the void. Shen Mo, Qin Yu, and the others suddenly appeared on the open ground, like ghosts, pointing a golden sword light towards Lin Qiu.

"In this place without rules, the strong leave their mark!" Shen Mo shouted.

In the blink of an eye, thunderous explosions resonated in the sky, accompanied by a shower of golden light. A unique and sacred radiance burst forth. Shen Mo’s sword tip flipped and soared, increasing its speed to the extreme. Illusory images constantly shifted in the air.

"Sizzle…"

In the air, a golden cloud formation was woven like a sword, carrying a great momentum as it crashed and bombarded towards Lin Qiu!

"Golden Cloud Sword Art!"

"Shen Senior Brother actually mastered a sword technique that only direct disciples can cultivate. His strength is so terrifying!"

The onlookers on both sides were even more horrified. This kind of attack was not something they, at the fourth and fifth level of Elemental Void, could directly resist. They all stepped back.

Each of these people had a close relationship with the Sacred Mountain Sect. So it wasn’t anything surprising for them to obtain the cultivation method of a direct disciple’s martial arts.

With the cultivation nurtured by their respective families, even when compared to a Sacred Mountain direct disciple, the gap was no longer as insurmountable.

"Retreat!"

Some onlookers with higher cultivation recognized the danger and ordered others to quickly fly away from the Li Clan Ancestral Shrine. They sought refuge nearby, relying on the giant rocks and trees to defend against the impending earth-shattering strike.

"Senior Brother, I’ll assist you!" Qin Yu wielded a silver dragon ruler, and the silver light howled through the sky, while Liu Shuanger whipped a purple light soft whip, causing the wind to dance with her movements.

Lin Qiu remained calm and composed, sitting on the beam outside the ancestral shrine, his eyes filled with a mocking and disdainful expression.

"Couldn’t resist, huh? Since it’s like this, let’s deal with you first and show you what true strength is! So what if you’re from a powerful family?"

"Drink!"

Lin Qiu’s eyes moved slightly, and energy surged on the golden hammer. Waves of energy directly swept out from under the giant hammer, causing the surrounding airwaves to rapidly fluctuate.

"Sacred Dragon Hammer!"

"Bang bang!"

The light was dazzling, and the pressure was immense!

The sky was filled with energy, like a storm sweeping through. Ripples of energy surged through the space, shaking everything around!

A sense of urgency flashed in Zhang Dan’s eyes. He didn’t want to stay here for another moment. The four of them were fighting over the hidden Baicao for no reason. If it turned out to be a scam in the end, he couldn’t imagine how terrible his fate would be.

"Brother Hao, should we run or not? While they are fighting each other, let’s go find the Soul Measuring Heavenly Crystal! We can’t stay here!"

Sun Hao’s gaze was icy, staring fixedly at the Li ancestral temple. He still held a glimmer of hope and said firmly.

"Why rush? Let them fight! If Duan Hong can’t come out, we’re doomed! Let’s wait a bit longer before we go!"

"Boom!"

Jin Yun and the giant hammer collided fiercely in mid-air. The swirling vortex of energy created a powerful storm. In an instant, the whole square shook with a thunderous explosion, and a blinding light turned the sky as bright as day. The four of them staggered backwards in unison!

However, Lin Qiu didn’t fly backwards. An strange force propelled him forward, like a human missile hurtling towards Shen Mo and the others. He descended from the sky with lightning speed.

"Oh no!"

Shen Mo and his companions were shocked and horrified. They exerted their energy under their feet which forcefully changed their flying direction. They narrowly managed to dodge Lin Qiu’s heavy blow by retreating to the side.

"Bang!"

A tremendous sound echoed through the sky as Lin Qiu crashed heavily on the empty ground of the square. The terrifying impact shook everyone’s hearts.

The landing spot resembled a meteor impact, revealing a deep and bottomless pit. Lin Qiu fell into it, feeling dizzy and bleeding profusely. He looked like a bloody figure, almost losing consciousness.
