Chapter 153: Chapter 153: A True Hero Who Dares to Stand up Against The Sky

"What are you dazed about here!"

Zhu Yanqing pulled Qin Jun’s hand, urgently shouting as she turned to try to flee with him, which caused Qin Jun to be stunned.

In the critical moment, that kid Qin Yun ran away quickly, but it was Zhu Yanqing, who he was not that close with, who came to pull him. Suddenly, he felt as if a string in his heart had been plucked.

"Silly girl, what’s there to flee from."

Qin Jun shook his head with a smile, the howling wind caused their clothes to flap loudly and their hair to dance wildly. Seeing Qin Jun’s confident expression, Zhu Yanqing’s heart couldn’t help but calm down.

After speaking, Qin Jun then looked toward Li Yuanba, and it was only now that Zhu Yanqing realized Li Yuanba was also there.

Although Li Yuanba could traverse the beast tide, how monumental was the mountain that stood five hundred meters tall before them? Could he really block it on his own?

Zhu Yanqing was somewhat skeptical, but she still stood calmly behind Li Yuanba. Unaware, her hand was still holding onto Qin Jun’s. Qin Jun, however, noticed, and his heart was overjoyed.

Did I just win her over?

Don’t relax too easily!

Meanwhile, the mountain was already plummeting down, its speed increasing sharply. Upon seeing this, Li Yuanba’s eyes condensed into a fierce glare as he suddenly leaped up. Bending his upper body backward, he held the Golden Peng Hammer in both hands, his body shaped like a bow.

"Gurgle—"

Qin Jun couldn’t help but swallow, and although he trusted Li Yuanba a lot, when the mountain actually came crashing down, the oppressive feeling was beyond what ordinary people could imagine, and he couldn’t help but grow tense as well.

Just as the mountain was about to crush Li Yuanba, he swung the hammers forward fiercely, smashing the Golden Peng Hammer directly onto the mountainside.

Boom!

An earth-shaking roar exploded, startling both Qin Jun and Zhu Yanqing into instinctively covering their ears. Under their shocked gazes, the mountain, as vast as the sky, was directly crushed into pieces by Li Yuanba’s hammers. Boulders of various sizes hurtled around Li Yuanba, yet Qin Jun and Zhu Yanqing, who were behind him, were miraculously spared.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

The fragments of rock smashed into the lake, the shore, the forest, and the mountains like artillery shells, creating an apocalyptic scene. Cultivators in the surrounding mountains scrambled to flee, the scene descending into chaos.

The land shook, the mountains trembled, the lake surged tumultuously, and the sky was enveloped in dust.

"Ahh—"

"Run—"

"Quick, smash the wooden token!"

"It’s over, I never thought I’d be eliminated just after entering..."

Li Yuanba’s power was so domineering; after shattering the mountain, the fragmented rocks, driven by the force, flew in all directions. Their impact was not to be underestimated—one could either die or be severely injured if hit.

Qin Jun watched Li Yuanba’s silhouette, feeling immensely stirred.

This is the strength a man should have!

So damn dominating!

Qin Jun had already begun fantasizing about his magnificent portrait of lifting mountains with a spear, while Zhu Yanqing was also shocked by Li Yuanba. Her beautiful eyes were wide open with disbelief in her gaze.

Even the Roaring Sky Dog stared at Li Yuanba in amazement; it could sense that Li Yuanba hadn’t used any spiritual power at all, it was pure physical strength that created such an awe-striking performance.

A five hundred-meter-tall mountain is incredibly heavy, a weight not even tens of thousands of pounds could describe—millions of pounds wouldn’t be an exaggeration!

Such a mountain falling down was equivalent to a pressure of millions of pounds crushing down, yet Li Yuanba managed to shatter it with just his hammers. Most critically, he hardly stepped back, and his body didn’t even tremble.

The Fei Yushu outside the world of magical treasures couldn’t help but tremble. Although he was incessantly sending wooden tokens to the combatants, his attention remained fixed on Qin Jun and the others, and seeing Li Yuanba’s performance, even he, with his Earth Immortal Realm cultivation, couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.

"What’s wrong with Elder Fei?" Xu Guiku asked in confusion. Could there be some mishap in the competition?

"It’s nothing!" Fei Yushu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the unrest in his heart as he replied.

With his insight, it was evident that Li Yuanba’s capability to shatter mountain peaks was solely based on his strength.

No wonder he was able to sweep through nine Ascending Mortal Realm statues during the assessment. It turned out it wasn’t his high cultivation level that did it, but rather his overbearing and matchless physical strength!

Once one’s cultivation reached the Earth Immortal Realm, spiritual power would transform into magical power. Li Yuanba, being the incarnation of the Giant Bird, an ancient and extraordinary breed, could keep his magical power concealed. Even Immortal Realm experts would find it difficult to guess his realm if he didn’t show it.

If this boy wasn’t an enemy of our God and Demon Sword Hall, then we must secure him at all costs!

Fei Yushu thought to himself, in his mind Li Yuanba’s value instantly surpassed Qin Jun’s. Although Li Yuanba seemed a bit simple-minded, his battle talent was there for all to see, impossible to ignore.

...

Thud!

Li Yuanba landed on the shore, turned around, and smiled at Qin Jun. "Thank you for your trust, Your Highness!"

Although he was slow-witted, he wasn’t to the extent of being brainless. Qin Jun’s lack of evasion was a clear sign of trust, which made him feel very pleased.

As he finished speaking, rubble continued to fall behind him, pouring into the lake like a torrential rain, the dust rising like mist, and paired with his silly smile, it moved Qin Jun.

Although Li Yuanba was simple, he was, after all, one of the few God and Demon companions with full loyalty points. His combat strength was terrifying, yet he behaved like a child in front of Qin Jun. Even knowing that he was summoned by the system, Qin Jun felt somewhat moved.

"The day I claim the throne, I will never treat you unfairly!"

Qin Jun thought to himself, while at the same time he took out the Silver Dragon Soul-Slaying Spear.

"Leave the rest to me!" Qin Jun said with a smile, holding the spear in one hand as he turned to face Li Yuanba. After speaking, he turned his head towards Zhu Yanqing and grinned cheekily. "Thank you for saving me just now. It seems you have me in your heart. Have you liked me for a long time?"

Zhu Yanqing blushed at his words, and just as she was about to explain, her eyes widened in shock.

She saw the Purple Gold Emperor Armor beginning to cover Qin Jun, from his limbs to his torso, and finally his head and cloak. Dust rolled across the lake surface, and the fierce wind made the purple-red phoenix tail on Qin Jun’s head sway incessantly, his cloak billowing and fluttering wildly.

At this moment, Qin Jun’s aura underwent a sudden change. He had seemed somewhat frivolous before, but now he was like a peerless monarch looking down upon the world, radiating an invincible and powerful confidence all over.

The contrast between before and after left Zhu Yanqing completely stunned.

Qin Jun bent his knees slightly and then like a cannonball, leapt high, holding the Silver Dragon Soul-Slaying Spear aloft as he charged towards the black Sea Dragon covered in rubble on the opposite side of the lake.

Which girl doesn’t harbor feelings of spring? Even the cold-natured Zhu Yanqing was no exception, just that she had never expressed it.

The man of her dreams would certainly be a standout among the younger generation and also a towering hero.

The former suited Qin Jun very well, the latter barely so, especially since that day at Bronze Pass when Qin Jun had stood up for her without fear of Imperial Dynasty’s oppression, blocking the soldiers for her. From that moment, the image of Qin Jun was deeply etched in Zhu Yanqing’s heart. However, he was usually too frivolous and insincere, which is why Zhu Yanqing managed to hold back her affection.

But after seeing Qin Jun dressed in the Purple Gold Emperor Armor, suddenly she thought he was the partner she had fantasized about in her heart.

Towering hero!

Looking down upon the world!

Qin Jun had no idea about Zhu Yanqing’s thoughts. He didn’t summon the Purple Gold Emperor Armor just to show off, but as a precaution, in case he couldn’t beat the injured black Sea Dragon. After all, one only has one life, and he had to be cautious!
