Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Full-Feathered

"Well done!"

Qin Jun immediately stepped forward. To others, Su Liejie’s speed seemed incredibly fast, but to him, it was not very fast.

The gap between the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm and the third layer of the Golden Elixir Realm was not just a matter of a step or two, much like the difference between an adult and a child in combat, an insurmountable chasm.

Facing Su Liejie’s thrusting sword, Qin Jun smashed it head-on with his spear. The 5,000-pound Silver Dragon Soul-Seeking Spear tore through the air, its sound explosive.

"You dare to confront my sword intent directly!"

Su Liejie sneered inwardly. A faint white light coated the surface of his white jade longsword, seemingly ordinary but incredibly sharp. Any ordinary magical weapon would surely be pierced and broken if it tried to withstand it.

Sword intent is the extension of the sword’s essence. Swords are inanimate, but a swordsman with exquisite sword skills can comprehend the heart of the sword, unify with it, and wield sword intent, making an inanimate sword seem alive, transforming its destructive power to be terrifyingly effective.

A swordsman who has grasped sword intent could even wield a wooden sword with the power of a profound grade magical weapon.

Not to mention that Su Liejie’s sword itself was a profound grade magical weapon.

Under the gaze of thousands of tense eyes, spear and sword collided, and the scene seemed to freeze.

With a bang!

Su Liejie’s white jade longsword was directly smashed by the Silver Dragon Soul-Seeking Spear, the spearhead continuing on to strike Su Liejie’s chest. In an instant, Su Liejie felt an unimaginable force assault him. His breastbone instantly snapped, he spat out blood, and his body uncontrollably flew backward.

Like a kite with its string cut, he flew out, hitting the city wall and then falling like a sandbag, hitting the ground and spitting out blood again. He wanted to stand up, but the bones in his body seemed utterly shattered, and he had no strength to rise.

Silence!

The whole arena was silent, everyone’s mouths agape, eyes wide, faces a mix of disbelief. In the eerie silence, one could clearly hear a pin drop.

Su Mingsheng hurried to Su Liejie’s side, shocked, while the spectators finally snapped out of their stupor, a wave of sharp intakes of breath resounding all around.

"My God! He was killed in a second!"

"Song Yufeng was also defeated by the Little Overlord with a single spear strike... It’s said that the silver spear weighs five thousand pounds!"

"Five thousand pounds? Really?"

"It’s no ordinary weapon! Su Liejie’s sword was a profound grade magical weapon!"

"Even Su Liejie has been killed in a second, who else in the Canglan Kingdom has the talent to defeat him?"

The cultivators on both sides of the street were discussing fervently, looking at Qin Jun with eyes full of fear. The seemingly elegant Qin Jun fought with such a ferocious style, the contrast creating an extremely intense visual impact.

Even Ye Xuan and the other four watched Qin Jun with complex gazes. With Su Liejie’s defeat, Canglan Kingdom’s geniuses were effectively trampled under Qin Jun’s feet.

On the contrary, Qin Yun and King Yue were thrilled, fully aware of what this victory meant.

It meant that Canglan Kingdom’s next generation would live in the shadow of Qin Jun!

To Qin Jun’s disappointment, the notification for the completion of the side quest did not sound, which did little to lift his spirits.

"I like Your Highness’s fighting style,"

Li Yuanba said with a foolish smile, causing Qin Yun and others to twitch at the corners of their mouths. Compared to Li Yuanba, Qin Jun truly seemed as docile as a lamb.

On the other side, Su Mingsheng also breathed a sigh of relief. Although Su Liejie was seriously injured, at least he wasn’t dead, and his elixir field was intact. He certainly didn’t want a useless son.

"I thank Your Highness for showing mercy!"

Su Mingsheng bowed and thanked Qin Jun. After speaking, he quickly carried Su Liejie away, afraid that Qin Jun might be unforgiving.

This scene left Qin Jun smiling wryly. Was he really that frightening?

With that thought, Qin Jun turned around, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Let’s go, back to the inn."

The battle had ended too quickly, leaving Qin Jun to marvel if he was perhaps too outrageously strong.

Song Yufeng had underestimated Qin Jun.

Su Liejie, on the other hand, had overestimated himself.

In the end, both led to their instantaneous defeats, and of course, Qin Jun’s own strength was not to be underestimated; otherwise, no matter how careless the opponent, they wouldn’t have been easily taken down, especially since both Song Yufeng and Su Liejie were top-notch geniuses.

The spectators of this battle were extremely excited. Although they were disappointed in Su Liejie, they also admired the strong. Moreover, the cultivators didn’t have such deep loyalty towards their own kingdom’s honor. Initially, they had some resentment towards Qin Jun, but after seeing him defeat Su Liejie with such dominance, admiration and excitement took over.

They all inexplicably felt the thrilling sensation of witnessing a legend.

This battle was destined to be spread far and wide, shaking the Canglan Kingdom, and even reaching back into the Qianyue Kingdom.

With both kingdoms’ top talents defeated by Qin Jun, even if he couldn’t perform exceptionally well in the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition, his fame would be established.

...

In the Canglan Kingdom’s palace,

Zhu Yishi was reading a book when he heard his servant’s report, and his face grew increasingly sour before he put down the book and began to pace the room.

"Qin Jun... I didn’t expect you to be so formidable..."

Zhu Yishi muttered to himself. He used to think Qin Jun was merely articulate and insidiously cunning, never expecting him to be so highly cultivated as well.

To defeat Su Liejie in seconds, that kind of strength was certainly not ordinary, and most likely belonged to a practitioner of the Golden Elixir Realm.

A sixteen-year-old in the Golden Elixir Realm, Zhu Yishi knew what that implied.

If Qin Jun continued to develop, he was sure to become another great ancestor of the Qianyue Kingdom.

"No... I must find a way to get rid of him," Zhu Yishi thought, frowning. He already saw himself as the future emperor of the Canglan Kingdom, so Qin Jun was seen as a major threat to his future rule.

"Your Highness, to remove Qin Jun, I’m afraid we’ll need to enlist an Ascending Mortal Realm expert..." The servant by his side read Zhu Yishi’s thoughts and promptly reminded him, well aware of Qin Jun’s combat history, which was almost always overwhelming.

Definitely a strong practitioner in the Golden Elixir Realm, and not of a low level at that.

After all, Su Liejie had once defeated a beginner of the Golden Elixir Realm.

"Ascending Mortal Realm..." Zhu Yishi instantly felt a headache coming on; Ascending Mortal Realm experts within a kingdom were few, and even fewer could be mobilized by the royal family, especially since he was only the crown prince, not yet the emperor.

As Zhu Yishi grappled with his headache, the news of Qin Jun defeating Song Yufeng and Su Liejie swept into the Qianyue Kingdom like a whirlwind.

News in the world of cultivation didn’t rely on carrier pigeons; most of it was transmitted by the business associations through magic.

Upon learning of this, the citizens and cultivators of the Qianyue Kingdom were greatly exhilarated and could hardly contain their excitement.

"His Highness Yue is too amazing!"

"Tsk, Su Liejie and Song Yufeng are among the top geniuses of the Canglan Kingdom!"

"Hahaha, His Highness Yue has made our Qianyue Kingdom proud!"

"Awesome! Let’s see how the Canglan Kingdom dares to strut before us now."

"First, Xiao Beilong was beheaded by His Highness Yue’s Guan Yu, and then the geniuses were suppressed by His Highness Yue. Hahaha, our Qianyue Kingdom is unstoppable!"

Such discussions were spreading in every corner of the Qianyue Kingdom, and Qin Jun’s reputation soared while the Fifth Prince Qin Yu was forgotten.

In just two short months, Qin Jun had successfully risen from the disregarded royal prince to become a legend of the Qianyue royal family.
