Chapter 682 - 449: Cutting Down an Early Realm, Battling the Middle Realm, Challenging the Limits! (Double-Length)
Hu Tomb was grateful for Song Changming’s courage to help him in such a perilous situation, but he also felt guilty that he had dragged Song Changming into the same danger.
"Leave quickly!" Hu Tomb sent a sound transmission to Song Changming.
Having barely survived, he really didn’t want to drag Song Changming to die with him.
Song Changming, hearing this, did not move. Since he had decided to intervene, he would not leave easily. He glanced at Hu Tomb’s current state and directly asked, "Is there any chance of survival?"
Hu Tomb hesitated for a moment and replied via sound transmission.
"Help is on the way, but it’s still uncertain if it can turn the tide..."
Neither he nor Prince Cui expected that the long-declined Su Family still harbored so many Martial Arts Grandmasters.
And the Su Family’s ancestor, who returned at this critical moment, hadn’t died as assumed...
Prince Cui’s breakthrough to the Grandmaster Late Realm Cultivation was their utmost confidence against the Su Family.
Before this, the Su Family did not have any Grandmasters at the Late Realm to oversee them.
But now, the return of Su Dong Pill disrupted all plans, forcing Prince Cui and the entire Hu Family’s imperial clan into unprecedented danger.
The current situation was not much different from what Song Changming had anticipated.
There were backup plans arranged, but there’s no guarantee they’d be useful. Right now, they had to hold on until the reinforcements arrived.
"Song Changming, almost forgot about you!" Su Muchuan’s eyes glinted viciously as he looked at Song Changming and said slowly.
Years ago, Song Changming’s enmity with the Su Family was mediated by Prince Cui, which is why the Su Family temporarily let Song Changming go.
Now that the family had completely fallen out with Prince Cui, they naturally had no reservations dealing with this once arrogant lad.
Su Muchuan had long been dissatisfied with Song Changming’s audacity to openly defy the Su Family; over the years, only Song Changming dared to do so!
"Everyone else capture Hu Tomb, I’ll handle this brat myself," Su Muchuan stated directly.
"Be careful, this boy’s Body Refining Cultivation is extraordinary," Su Jichuan reminded. He was not only one of the Su Family’s Middle Realm Grandmasters but also Su Muchuan’s older brother.
"Don’t worry, brother," Su Muchuan chuckled lightly.
None of the other Su Family Grandmasters raised objections.
Song Changming had no other backing, so they assumed he could be easily handled, while the main focus still lay on capturing Hu Tomb alive.
"Be careful," Hu Tomb warned, feeling a bit relieved at the arrangement.
He was aware of Song Changming’s capabilities, and a single Early Realm Grandmaster could not defeat Song Changming alone.
At that moment, Hu Tomb raised his hand, and a piece of talisman paper floated out.
This was a high-level talisman paper crafted by the Prince’s Mansion’s chief Qian Yuan, with tremendous power.
"Celestial Light!"
As the talisman paper activated, a vast amount of Spiritual Energy coalesced around them, forming a massive rune brilliance in the sky.
Soon after, beams of rainbow light shot out from the enormous rune, transforming into a rain of rainbow light, striking all the Su Family Grandmasters present.
Hu Tomb took the opportunity to escape, taking with him all the remaining Su Family Grandmasters, leaving only Su Muchuan behind to deal with Song Changming.
Once the celestial light rain ended, Su Muchuan was not harmed by the Level Six Talisman Paper.
"Kid, you were quite arrogant back then. I wonder if you can still smile now?" Su Muchuan taunted, approaching Song Changming.
Raising his hand, two Windchasing Needles appeared at his sides, each undoubtedly a Spiritual Treasure.
Song Changming didn’t bother wasting words with him. Seeing that Hu Tomb and those Su Family Grandmasters had vanished into the Red Earth Continent, he had no intention to linger here any longer.
He simultaneously unleashed the Five Seals, activated the Thunder Seed, and the light of thunderfire churned continuously around him.
In the next instant, Song Changming vanished from his original spot.
Su Muchuan’s expression froze. He only caught a glimpse of a fleeting red cloud, and before he could react, Song Changming was already upon him.
The violent gale distorted his face, and the cold knife light, carrying immense power, roared down upon him.
Su Muchuan’s protective Grandmaster Gang Qi was like tofu, shattered by this slash.
"No!" Su Muchuan was utterly terrified.
Buzz!
Several protective talismans on his body were forcibly activated under the immense pressure, salvaging his life with difficulty.
It was unsurprising for a Su Family Grandmaster to have more top-grade life-saving items than ordinary people.
Yet, what Song Changming unleashed just now was merely a simple slice.
He could unleash countless such slashes, whereas those protective talismans had a limit to what they could withstand.
The blade rebounded, and before Su Muchuan could catch a breath, Song Changming unleashed another slash.
Bam!
A waist tag on Su Muchuan’s body suddenly shattered.
He attempted to create a safe distance, but Song Changming followed like a shadow, the slashes relentless.
In the blink of an eye, two more of Su Muchuan’s protective talismans were destroyed.
Su Muchuan grew increasingly frantic; he couldn’t believe how fragile his painstakingly cultivated Grandmaster Gang Qi was under Song Changming’s blade.
This was entirely different from what he had imagined.
On the brink of life and death, Su Muchuan’s eyes turned red, filled with blood and ferocity.
The two Windchasing Needles, ensconced in the mighty Master’s Power, jabbed out like two slender venomous snakes, shooting straight at Song Changming with a flash of electric light.
"Want to kill me? You’ll die first!"
At such close range, he was confident that even if Song Changming’s evasion speed was faster, he couldn’t possibly dodge.
Yet, the usually unstoppable Windchasing Needles, after easily piercing through Song Changming’s Protective Gang Qi and armor, failed to penetrate Song Changming’s skin.
Instead, as if colliding with an incredibly hard object, they scraped off sparks, and the two Windchasing Needles were actually deflected!
