Chapter 153: Heroes Who Stand Up to Heaven and Earth

"Why are you standing here doing nothing?"

Zhu Yanqing grabbed Qin Jun's hand and urgently shouted, then turned to pull Qin Jun to escape. This made Qin Jun pause for a moment.

At this critical moment, Qin Yun ran very fast, but it was Zhu Yanqing, who had a shallow relationship with him, who came to pull him. Suddenly, he felt as if a string in his heart had been plucked.

"Silly girl, what are you trying to escape from?"

Qin Jun shook his head and laughed. The strong wind made their clothes rustle, and their black hair danced in the wind. Looking at Qin Jun's confident expression, Zhu Yanqing's heart couldn't help but calm down.

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

Although Li Yuanba could dominate the beast tide, the towering 500-meter-high mountain in front of them was so huge. Could he withstand it alone?

Zhu Yanqing was somewhat doubtful, but she still stood calmly behind Li Yuanba. She didn't realize that she was still holding Qin Jun's hand, but Qin Jun noticed it and couldn't help but feel amused.

Have I successfully charmed her?

Don't be too relaxed!

At the same time, the mountain was already falling, and its speed was getting faster and faster. Seeing this, Li Yuanba's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly leaped up, bending his upper body backward, gripping the Golden Peng Divine Hammer with both hands, and forming a bow shape with his body.

"Gulu—"

Qin Jun couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Although he trusted Li Yuanba, when the mountain was about to fall, the oppressive feeling was beyond imagination, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.

Just as the mountain was about to fall on Li Yuanba, he suddenly smashed the two hammers forward, directly hitting the mountain.

Boom!

A deafening roar resounded, startling Qin Jun and Zhu Yanqing, who instinctively covered their ears. In their shocked gazes, the mountain, like the sky, was directly shattered by Li Yuanba's hammers. Rocks of various sizes flew in all directions, but Li Yuanba, Qin Jun, and Zhu Yanqing behind him were not hit.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

The rocks fell like cannonballs, hitting the lake, the shore, the forest, and the mountain, creating a scene of chaos, causing the cultivators in the mountains to flee in panic. The scene was extremely chaotic.

The earth trembled, the mountain quaked, the lake surged, and the sky was shrouded in dust.

"Ah—"

"Escape—"

"Quick, crush the wooden plaques!"

"It's over, I didn't expect to be eliminated as soon as I entered..."

Li Yuanba's power was too overwhelming. After smashing the mountain, the shattered rocks were propelled in all directions by the force, and their impact was not to be underestimated. If hit, it would result in either death or injury.

Qin Jun looked at Li Yuanba's back, feeling overwhelmed.

This is the strength a man should have!

So domineering!

Qin Jun had already begun to imagine the majestic scene of himself lifting a mountain with a spear, and Zhu Yanqing was also shocked by Li Yuanba, her beautiful eyes wide open with disbelief.

Even the Hellhound stared blankly at Li Yuanba. It could sense that Li Yuanba had not used any spiritual power, relying solely on his physical strength to achieve such a shocking feat.

A 500-meter-high mountain was incredibly heavy, far beyond the description of thousands of pounds, not even an exaggeration to say millions of pounds!

With such a mountain falling, it was equivalent to the force of millions of pounds pressing down. Yet Li Yuanba shattered it with just his hammers, and most importantly, he hardly even stepped back, and his body didn't even tremble.

Outside the world of magical treasures, Fei Yushu couldn't help but shudder. Although he was constantly sending wooden plaques to the participants, his attention was always on Qin Jun and the others. Seeing Li Yuanba's performance, even with his cultivation at the level of a Daoist Immortal, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"What's wrong with Elder Fei?" Xu Guiku asked in confusion. Did something go wrong with the competition?

"It's nothing!" Fei Yushu took a deep breath, suppressing the unrest in his heart.

With his vision, he naturally saw that Li Yuanba had completely relied on his strength to shatter the mountain.

No wonder he was able to sweep through nine Transcendent Mortal Realm figures in the assessment. It wasn't because of his profound cultivation, but because of his unparalleled physical strength!

When one's cultivation reached the level of a Daoist Immortal, spiritual power would transform into magical power. Li Yuanba was the incarnation of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird, an ancient and rare species. If he didn't reveal his magical power, even a Heavenly Immortal-level expert would find it difficult to guess his realm.

If this kid is not an enemy of our Sword God Sect, then he must be captured!

In Fei Yushu's mind, Li Yuanba's value instantly surpassed that of Qin Jun. Although Li Yuanba seemed a bit foolish, his combat talent was undeniable and impossible to ignore.

...

Thud!

Li Yuanba landed on the shore and turned to Qin Jun with a smile. "Thank you for trusting me, Your Highness!"

Although he was dull, it didn't mean he was foolish to the point of being brainless. Qin Jun didn't dodge, clearly showing his trust in him, which made him feel very relieved.

As he finished speaking, there were still falling rocks behind him, pouring into the lake like a torrential rain, and the dust surged like a cloud of mist. Coupled with his silly smile, it made Qin Jun unable to help but be moved.

Although Li Yuanba was foolish, he was at least one of the few loyal and devoted divine beings. His terrifying combat power, combined with the fact that he treated Qin Jun like a child, even though he knew he was summoned by the system, made Qin Jun somewhat touched.

"When I become emperor, I will definitely not mistreat you!"

Qin Jun thought to himself, taking out the Silver Dragon Soul-Slaying Spear as he spoke.

"Leave it to me from now on!" Qin Jun said to Li Yuanba with a smile, holding the spear with one hand. Then he turned to look at Zhu Yanqing, winking and saying, "Thank you for saving me just now. It seems like you have feelings for me. Have you liked me for a long time?"

Zhu Yanqing blushed at his words, about to explain, but her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

The purple-gold Emperor's Armor began to cover Qin Jun from his limbs to his body, and finally his head and cloak. The rolling dust spread over the lake, and the fierce wind made the purple phoenix tail on Qin Jun's head sway incessantly, while the cloak rustled and flapped, stirring without end.

At this moment, Qin Jun's demeanor suddenly changed. He had been somewhat frivolous before, but now he seemed like an invincible and confident ruler, exuding an aura of unparalleled strength.

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

Qin Jun bent his legs, then leaped like a cannonball, raising the Silver Dragon Soul-Slaying Spear high as he charged towards the black dragon buried under the rocks on the opposite side of the lake.

Every girl has her daydreams, and even the aloof Zhu Yanqing was no exception. She just never expressed them.

Her crush must be a young and outstanding hero, and also a towering figure.

The former fit Qin Jun quite well, and the latter was a stretch, especially after that day at the Bronze Gate when Qin Jun fearlessly stood up against the imperial pressure to protect the soldiers guarding the gate. Since then, Qin Jun's image had been deeply imprinted in Zhu Yanqing's heart. However, he was usually too frivolous and never serious, so she managed to suppress her feelings.

But upon seeing Qin Jun in the purple-gold Emperor's Armor, she suddenly felt that he was the companion she had always imagined.

A towering figure!

An aura of invincibility!

Qin Jun was unaware of Zhu Yanqing's thoughts. He summoned the purple-gold Emperor's Armor not to show off, but as a precaution. What if he couldn't defeat the injured black dragon?

There was only one life, and he had to be cautious!
