Chapter 252: The Coming of the Abyss Gate

"Would you dare to sit in my place?"

Qin Jun looked down at Qin Long indifferently and spoke in a cold voice, his words reaching everyone's ears, causing them to look up in astonishment. He appeared aloof and indifferent, like a god, staring at Qin Long with a murderous look in his eyes.

Boom!

The whole place erupted in excitement, and everyone became agitated. Some even had tears in their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.

Even Qin Long couldn't help but be moved. There was no denying that Qin Jun's reputation was immense, and he was widely known as the Overlord, not without reason.

"Prince Yue!"

"Prince Yue has returned! Haha! Qin Long is finished!"

"I can't believe I'm seeing the living Prince Yue!"

"So handsome..."

The people and cultivators were excitedly discussing, and there was even a bold female cultivator who loudly expressed her admiration for Qin Jun. The scene was extremely lively.

But their voices pierced Qin Long's heart like a needle.

"Hmph! Qin Jun, you've finally returned. I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Qin Long shouted at Qin Jun, and as he spoke, his arms suddenly spread open, and the black energy entwined around him began to surge, like black dragons coiling around him, and his expression became somewhat ferocious.

"Evil energy!"

Tai Bai Jin Xing spoke in a low voice, and the others also frowned, including Qin Jun.

They hadn't expected that Qin Long was actually a practitioner of demonic cultivation!

"Hmph!"

Qin Jun snorted and leaped towards Qin Long, who was now at the fifth level of the Transcendence Realm and had the power to fight. He didn't need to rely on Tai Bai Jin Xing and the others to deal with someone like Qin Long.

Hum—

Dragon energy overflowed from his body, transforming into a three-clawed golden dragon coiled around Qin Jun. Faced with the aggressive Qin Jun, Qin Long didn't retreat but instead leaped forward.

The whole place fell silent as everyone nervously watched the two of them charging towards each other.

"Die!"

Qin Jun slapped down, and the dragon energy followed, with the golden dragon opening its mouth as if to devour Qin Long.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Long's eyes turned pitch black, and the demonic energy surged like a small stream turning into a great river. This shocked Qin Jun, and the demonic energy directly dispersed the dragon energy, then transformed into a terrifying black dragon and charged towards Qin Jun.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

Li Yuanba exclaimed and immediately rushed towards Qin Jun, as did Tai Bai Jin Xing, Sha Wujing, Li Bai, and Xu Guiku.

But unfortunately, Qin Long's demonic energy was faster. With a bang, it collided with Qin Jun, sending him flying. Qin Jun was like a kite with a broken string, crashing into a corner of the Vermilion Bird Platform, shocking nearby cultivators and commoners who rushed over, afraid that he might have been fatally injured.

"You're asking for death!"

Li Yuanba was furious, and with a flip of his right hand, the Golden Peng Divine Hammer appeared in his hand, and he directly smashed it towards Qin Long. The demonic energy was directly shattered by his brute force. His speed was unimaginable, making Qin Long panic and dodge, but how could he possibly be faster than Li Yuanba?

Bang!

The hammer fell, smashing into Qin Long's abdomen. The terrifying force made Qin Long's eyes bulge, and blood uncontrollably spewed from his mouth. His body fell like a cannonball, crashing onto the Vermilion Bird Platform, shattering the hard stone surface. He bounced like a ball, rolling to the side, leaving a trail of blood, and finally lay on the platform like a dead body.

Then Li Yuanba quickly flew towards Qin Jun, and so did Tai Bai Jin Xing and the others.

At this moment, Qin Jun was stunned. Then, with a look of disbelief, he sat up from the ground, touching his chest, unable to believe that he was unharmed.

"Hehe."

Little Candle Dragon suddenly emerged from behind him, and Qin Jun suddenly realized that it was Little Candle Dragon who had protected him.

Damn it!

I was careless!

Qin Jun regretfully stood up. He hadn't expected Qin Long to be so strong. The aura he had just emitted was at least at the Transcendence Realm.

How is that possible?

He broke through the Transcendence Realm before the age of thirty?

Doesn't that surpass the number one on the Human Ranking, Jin Wu Hui?

Qin Jun glared angrily at Qin Long, who seemed to be dead in the distance. Li Yuanba smirked, "He's already dead. Even an Earthly Immortal wouldn't dare to take my blow just now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Long suddenly twisted strangely and stiffly stood up, making everyone's scalp tingle. Li Yuanba turned around and looked, instantly feeling awkward.

"Could this guy be immortal?" Tai Bai Jin Xing frowned and murmured, while Li Bai, Xu Guiku, Sha Wujing, and the Red Boy all looked at the scene in confusion.

"I still have to rely on my Samadhi True Fire!"

The Red Boy snorted and, as he spoke, stepped towards Qin Long.

At this moment, Qin Long suddenly flew up, soaring into the sky. Qin Jun and the others looked up, their faces suddenly changing.

They saw a huge, sinister black hole in the sky, and figures wearing black robes were flying out of it—disciples of the Abyss Gate!

Rolling thunderclouds gathered, blocking the sunlight and gradually plunging the royal capital into darkness.

"The lingering souls!"

Qin Jun cursed under his breath, then raised his right hand, and the Silver Dragon Soul-Slaying Spear, which had been stuck on the platform in the distance, flew back into his hand with a swish.

"In the depths of the abyss, all things are destroyed!"

A strange, chanting-like voice resounded through the heavens and the earth, making everyone in the royal capital shiver in fear as they looked up.

In every corner of the royal capital, one could see sinister black holes, but some areas were too far away to see the Abyss Gate disciples emerging from them.

Qin Jun's brow furrowed tighter and tighter because the number of Abyss Gate disciples was increasing rapidly, soon surpassing a hundred, and half of them were at the Transcendence Realm or higher.

Before long, disciples at the Earthly Immortal Realm appeared, and after a while, disciples at the Heavenly Immortal Realm also appeared.

The number of disciples of the Abyss Gate has exceeded a thousand, standing in the sky like eerie specters, sending chills down people's spines.

Qin Jun's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. It seemed that the Abyss Gate was determined to kill him.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up!" Qin Jun quickly shouted to Li Yuanba, Taibai Jinxing, and others beside him. Everyone snapped out of it and soared into the air. The fastest was the Red Boy, holding the Jiutian Fire Spear, with the Samadhi True Fire emanating from his pores, resembling a fire god.

Among the disciples of the Abyss Gate, the leader, a strong celestial realm expert, had blood-red hair, shriveled skin, and bloodshot eyes. He wielded a bone staff with a skull on top and sneered, "I want to see how strong the recently renowned Holy Infant King really is!"

As he spoke, he attacked the Red Boy with the bone staff, and the countless disciples of the Abyss Gate followed suit, creating a spectacular scene that terrified the people and cultivators in the capital.

"My goodness! Are those ghosts in the sky?"

"They are demonic cultivators! They are from the Abyss Gate!"

"Could they be the Abyss Gate cultivators who attacked the Southern Zhuo Dynasty's Bronze Gate recently?"

"Everyone, stay calm. With Prince Yue and his followers here, the demonic cultivators will be driven away!"

Qin Jun ignored the commotion around him, gazing at the sky with a grim expression, filled with unease.

With a loud bang!

The Red Boy and the blood-haired demonic cultivator collided, unleashing a terrifying force that stirred up a fierce wind, causing the buildings below to collapse and the trees to uproot, as if doomsday had arrived. Even Qin Jun had to shield his face with his arms.
