Chapter 140: The Way for Heaven

Crack―

With a precise chop, Li Yuanba cut the black dart in half with his hand blade. At that moment, Qin Jun finally turned around, and the whole process happened in the blink of an eye.

Qin Jun followed the direction of the black dart and saw a mysterious figure in a gray robe standing at the top of a small hill, looking at them.

"Damn it! How dare you ambush me!"

Qin Jun exclaimed angrily, pointing at the figure in the gray robe and shouting, "Yuanba, bring him to me!"

Li Yuanba stomped his right foot, causing the ground to explode. He then charged towards the figure in the gray robe like a cannonball.

His speed was so fast that even Qin Jun couldn't track his movements with the naked eye. With a thunderous sound, in less than a breath's time, he was about to reach the top of the hill, and the strong wind he stirred up made the gray-robed figure's robe flutter noisily. He extended his hand and a golden light flashed, dazzling like the sun.

Facing this attack, Li Yuanba didn't use any spells. Instead, he raised his right leg high and brought it down with tremendous force, directly smashing into the golden light shield surrounding the gray-robed figure.

Boom―

The small hill under the gray-robed figure collapsed, and the explosion was so loud that people within a radius of ten miles could hear it. Anyone who heard it looked towards the outskirts and saw the billowing dust.

Li Yuanba's right leg pressed down on the gray-robed figure, causing it to crash through the ground. Even Qin Jun, who was nearly a hundred meters away, could feel the ground trembling, showing how terrifying Li Yuanba's strength was.

"When will I be so violent..."

Qin Jun thought enviously. Compared to the combat spells of characters like Fajia and Taibai Jinxing, he preferred Li Yuanba's brute force fighting style, using absolute strength to crush everything!

Daji and Xiaoli didn't have much of a reaction, as they were females, or rather, mothers, and didn't have such a keen interest in combat.

"Damn it! This guy is so strong!"

Amidst the rolling dust and debris, the gray-robed figure struggled to block Li Yuanba's right leg with his hands, but the immense force still forced him to kneel in the pit, unable to move.

Looking down at him with disdain, Li Yuanba coldly said, "Daring to ambush His Highness with just the Void Transformation stage!"

As he spoke, he suddenly pulled the gray robe off the figure, revealing that he was actually Chu Hege, the examiner of the Wulin Assessment of the Fallen Smoke City.

"Who are you after all!"

Chu Hege gritted his teeth and asked. No wonder he had felt uneasy when Li Yuanba made him feel that way. It turned out that this guy was a powerhouse beyond the Void Transformation stage!

Li Yuanba completely ignored him and suddenly increased the force of his right leg. Chu Hege's face turned pale, and the ground beneath him collapsed again. His other leg also knelt down, and the sound of his knees shattering was so crisp.

Without giving Chu Hege time to react, Li Yuanba turned and delivered a spinning kick, smashing his left foot into Chu Hege's face. The unimaginable force instantly deformed Chu Hege's face, and blood and teeth flew out as his body spun towards Qin Jun.

The speed was so extreme that Qin Jun almost cursed out loud. Are you trying to kill me?

Boom!

Just as Chu Hege was about to collide with Qin Jun, Li Yuanba descended from the sky like a tower and smashed into Chu Hege, directly burying him into the ground, causing dust to fly and blood to splatter.

Qin Jun winced at the sight, silently mourning for the man. Fighting against Li Yuanba must be really tough.

"So brutal," Xiaoli whispered, clearly also shocked by Li Yuanba.

Soon, Li Yuanba lifted Chu Hege by the back of his neck and brought him in front of Qin Jun. Even though he was already battered and covered in blood, Qin Jun could vaguely recognize his identity.

Because he hadn't offended many people in the Fallen Smoke City, upon careful consideration, it was easy to guess his identity.

"Oh! Isn't this our examiner? What? Want to kill me?"

Qin Jun smirked with his arms crossed, a mocking look on his face. This guy must have coveted the Purple Gold Emperor's Armor.

Back then, his eyes seemed to want to peel Qin Jun alive.

"I... I am the examiner... You can't kill me..."

Chu Hege said laboriously. Li Yuanba's power was extremely destructive, leaving him incapacitated. If he weren't a powerhouse at the Void Transformation stage, he would probably be dead by now.

"Is the examiner very remarkable?" Qin Jun sneered. If I don't kill you, you will definitely bring me endless trouble.

The principle of cutting the grass and removing the roots, Qin Jun had long understood.

He took out the Desert Eagle and thought to himself, how much experience points could a Void Transformation stage powerhouse bring him?

"Stop!"

Just then, a thunderous shout rang out. Qin Jun's eyes narrowed, and he quickly aimed at Chu Hege's forehead and fired a shot.

Bang―

Blood splattered, and Chu Hege's pupils lost their luster as he fell straight down.

"Killed a cultivator at the first level of the Void Transformation stage! Gained 102,500 experience points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the fourth level of the Golden Core stage!"

Nice!

A cultivator at the first level of the Void Transformation stage could actually bring him a hundred thousand experience points!

At this moment, he even had evil thoughts of slaughtering Void Transformation stage powerhouses, but his reason told him that if he did so, he would crash and burn!

Behind a Void Transformation stage powerhouse, there must be a behemoth. If he killed too many, it would attract powerhouses from all sides to join forces, and even with the Heavenly Immortal stage Taibai Jinxing, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.

However...

He could do it sneakily!

Qin Jun smirked, and at the same time, the owner of the thunderous shout from earlier flew towards them.

Looking up, oh, it's an acquaintance again!

The strongest in the Fallen Smoke City, Xu Guiku!

Xu Guiku, dressed in a black robe, had a furious expression on his face as he looked at Qin Jun and the others, his eyes seemingly ready to spew fire.

"Hey, Lord Xu, you've come at just the right time. The assessment enforcer attacked me, but I fought back. You don't need to reward me, it's the duty of every participant!" Qin Jun spoke with conviction, as if he was upholding justice for everyone.

Xu Guiku was trembling with anger, while Daji and Xiaoli couldn't help but stifle their laughter.

"Do you realize the severity of killing an assessment enforcer?" Xu Guiku sternly rebuked, exuding an intimidating presence that made it hard to meet his gaze.

"So it's not a crime for the enforcer to kill participants in the city?" Qin Jun raised an eyebrow.

"You're just at the first level of the Earth Immortal realm, don't jump in front of me!"

Being attacked in the city had already put Qin Jun in a bad mood, and if pushed further, he might really lose his temper.

"If you're not convinced, let's have a fight!" Li Yuanba was more direct, immediately challenging them, much to Qin Jun's satisfaction.

Seeing Li Yuanba, Xu Guiku's anger diminished somewhat, as he had already regarded Li Yuanba as his disciple.

In fact, because both Li Yuanba and Qin Jun were rated as Nine Stars, Xu Guiku had no intention of doing anything to them. He just wanted to scare them so they wouldn't act as assassins in the city in the future.

But the reactions of Qin Jun and Li Yuanba were unexpectedly aggressive.

Xu Guiku couldn't save face.

So he became expressionless, and the terrifying aura of the Earth Immortal realm suddenly erupted, pressing down on Qin Jun and the others as if the sky was about to collapse.
