Not far away, Long Yin rushed towards Ying Mei with two blades in his hands.
Mister Mo and the Pavilion Master tried to stop him at the same time, but in the blink of an eye, blood stained the sky. Long Yin had cultivated his spirit and had the battle strength of a consummate Ku Adversity cultivator.
At the same time, a gate fell from the sky. Five fingers fell on the Gate of Heaven. The Luo family had made their move.
Mister Yi Bai ascended to the sky and blocked the Gate of Heaven.
Ying Mei's expression was ugly. She shouted, "My Spring and Autumn Scroll has never violated the rules. Death Mound bullies others.
Long Yin opened his hand and the mound of death spread towards Ying Mei.
The masters of the Spring and Autumn Scroll were either dead or injured. They couldn't make a move.
Those who were on good terms with the Spring and Autumn Scroll didn't make a move either. It wasn't easy to find strong masters everywhere. With Long Yin's battle strength, only the masters of large forces could resist him.
The mound of death spread in front of Ying Mei and buried her. The rolling yellow sand was dyed red. Ying Mei screamed miserably as her skin was torn apart. Behind her, someone made a move to stop the mound of death. It was the White Jade Clan. Only the White Jade Clan had to make a move. Long Yin hated the Spring and Autumn Scroll because they had killed his mother. If the Spring and Autumn Scroll was destroyed, the White Jade Clan would be his next target.
Yu Ru watched in horror. He never thought that the Spring and Autumn Scroll would be forced to this point.
Further away, no one cared about Lang Ru Yu and Si Jiu Shi anymore. The Jin family didn't make a move against them or help the Spring and Autumn Scroll.
The White Jade Clan made a move, but they still couldn't stop Long Yin. The White Jade Clan woman was buried by the mound of death. What awaited her was the cold light of the blades and her head flying. Long Yin landed in front of Ying Mei, his blades sharp.
Ying Mei glared at Long Yin with hatred. "If you dare to kill me, even the Great Master can't protect you. You wantonly killed people who didn't violate the rules. No power will tolerate you."
Long Yin's voice was cold. "So what? I've waited for this day for too long." Then, he slashed.
"Qian Shu —" Ying Mei screamed.
A "one" came from far to near, ignoring the distance, it slashed towards Long Yin.
Long Yin turned around and slashed with his blades, cutting the "one" in half. Qian Shu's expression was gloomy. Just now, he had made a move.
He accepted Spiritual Cultivation and raised his cultivation to the Great Circle of Crossing Calamity.
Ying Mei closed her eyes and accepted the spiritual cultivation. This meant that Qian Shu could no longer enter the Junior Defense Pavilion and could no longer become the Defense of Gods. He had lost his future.
The hearts of all the spectators sank. Their thoughts were complicated. Seeing a top genius being forced to lose his future, even if Qian Shu was not their future, they still felt a sense of pity.
It had to be known that Lu Yin had forced Qian Shu to seek protection from Qingyun rather than accept spiritual cultivation. This was the final step, but he had still taken it.
Long Yin smiled and looked at Qian Shu. "Congratulations. From now on, you are also a powerhouse who has reached the Great Circle of Ku Adversity."
In the distance, the old man from the Luo Family also laughed.
Everyone who opposed the Spring and Autumn Scroll laughed.
They weren't afraid of how powerful the Spring and Autumn Bamboo Slip was now, but they were afraid of Qian Shu, the future variable. If Qian Shu could really become a God's Defender, break through to the Great Circle of Crossing Bitter Calamity, comprehend the Dharma, pick up the next weapon, or even go one step further, and be taken in as a disciple by a God of Defense, then it would be troublesome.
But now, it was over. It was completely over.
Even if the Spring and Autumn Bamboo Slip survived this calamity, their futures were already set. It was unlikely that another genius like Qian Shu would be born, and the various great powers would not allow it.
After all, how much had the Spring and Autumn Bamboo Slip paid to send Qian Shu to the Junior Defense Pavilion?
But now, it had all been for naught.
Qian Shu lowered his head, and his gaze was sinister. He did not dare to raise his head, as he was afraid that Qingyun would see his gaze. He was unwilling, and he wanted to kill. He wanted to kill crazily. His future was gone because of these people. Death Hill, the Luo Family, Lu Yin, the Lin Sword Sect, and even the Myriad Elephant Valley.
"You want to kill me?" Long Yin's voice traveled into Qian Shu's ears.
Qian Shu suppressed his murderous intent and raised his head to meet Long Yin's gaze.
Long Yin sneered. "You really dare to attack me?
I come from Death Hill, and I am the Third Summit's Summit Lord. Now that I have confirmed that the Spring and Autumn Bamboo Slip did not break the rules, Death Hill will no longer interfere in this matter. You still want to attack me? "
Qian Shu clenched his fists, and his fingernails pierced into his flesh.
Ying Mei's mouth was bleeding, and she screamed, "Long Yin, you are too vicious."
Long Yin laughed heartily. In the distance, the women of the Third Summit laughed happily.
Death Hill would no longer interfere in the battle with the Spring and Autumn Bamboo Slip. They had announced to the public that they had confirmed that the Spring and Autumn Bamboo Slip did not break the rules. As such, if the Spring and Autumn Bamboo Slip attacked someone from Death Hill, it would be offending Death Hill. Then, it would not be the Third Summit of Death Hill that attacked the Spring and Autumn Bamboo Slip. What the Spring and Autumn Bamboo Slip faced was the revenge of the entire Death Hill, the Great Leader's revenge.
As for the attack just now, they would be punished, but they did not kill anyone in the Spring and Autumn Bamboo Slip. It was impossible for them to be severely punished.
But for the Spring and Autumn Bamboo Slip, Qian Shu's future was sacrificed.
In order to save Ying Mei, Qian Shu had lost his future, and it was all because of Long Yin's attack.
The Spring and Autumn Bamboo Slip had lost too much.
Qian Shu had lost his future, but he could not take revenge on Long Yin. This feeling infuriated him, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ying Mei's hair was messy, and she glared at Long Yin. She wanted to cut this woman into pieces.
Long Yin put away her twin blades. "Enjoy it well. I've been experiencing this every day since my mother died. It's your turn now." After she finished speaking, she looked in another direction. She looked at Yu Ru. "The White Jade Clan is next."
Yu Ru's face was pale.
Everyone looked at Qian Shu, and their gazes were complicated. There was pity, and there was mockery. He had lost everything, and he did not even have the chance to attack. It was too laughable.
If he had not accepted the spiritual cultivation and allowed Long Yin to attack him, would Long Yin have killed Ying Mei?
She didn't know. No one knew. Even Long Yin herself couldn't give an answer. Ying Mei wasn't the only enemy she had. Her biggest enemy was the White Jade Clan. However, her hatred for Ying Mei made her unable to control herself.
So she did not know what the result would be.
"Thank you, Qian Shu." Long Yin left.
Qian Shu was so angry that his body trembled.
Ying Mei took a deep breath. "Don't worry about her, Qian Shu. Kill the enemy first."
On the other side, the characters were attached to Lu Yin's body as if they were alive. Lu Yin's eyes were open, but they were lifeless, as if he could not see the world around him. What he saw was a world of characters, the Ten Thousand Character Book Realm.
Qian Shu suddenly glared at Lu Yin, unable to hide the hatred and killing intent in his eyes. He took a step forward, and his five fingers descended. Each of his fingers drew the word "one." It was the simplest word, but it carried the sharpest edge. This was the word that Qian Shu had been obsessed with for so many years.
Ying Mei's strongest word was "kill." This was because she wanted to lead the Spring and Autumn Scroll to establish a foothold in the Nine Firmaments. She had stopped Qian Shu from writing the word "kill," and instead made him write "one." She had hoped that with Qian Shu, the Spring and Autumn Scroll would transform. This was the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Scroll.
However, her beautiful wish had not been realized.
The five "ones" turned into a sharp light that enveloped Lu Yin. Qian Shu wanted to take his head.
"Careful!"
"Careful!"
Lu Siyu and Ming Xiaolong shouted. In the distance, Shui Su also shouted, her face pale.
Countless people held their breaths as they watched this scene unfold.
Qian Shu's five fingers were about to descend.
Lu Yin's sluggish gaze suddenly turned. He raised a hand and grabbed, colliding with Qian Shu's fingers.
In an instant, Lu Yin's withered body began to recover.
He was astonished; Qian Shu had cultivated his spirit and had the power of someone at the great circle of Ku Woe. The sharpness of his killing intent was no less than Ying Mei's. Was this the power of an absolute genius who was qualified to enter the Junior Defense Tower?
The Nine Foot Garden's Misty Red Civet was qualified to compete for the Junior Defense Tower, not the one that was already asleep. Countless people had competed with her, but even so, she was still a threat to Lu Yin after cultivating her spirit to the great circle of Ku Woe. Yue Ya and Chao Yi had chased after her, wasting a lot of time.
Compared to the Misty Red Civet, Qian Shu was much more powerful.
The great circle of Ku Woe was a spirit seed that had been grafted onto a genius like Qian Shu. Its power was unparalleled, and Lu Yin's withered body began to recover. This meant that Qian Shu's attack had the ability to threaten Lu Yin.
However, a threat was just a threat; it could not truly break through Lu Yin's defenses.
Qian Shu's pupils shrank as Lu Yin grabbed his fingers tightly.
"Back off!" Ying Mei shouted. She was well aware of how abnormal Lu Yin's strength was.
Lu Yin exerted force and flung his hand away, but it was empty. Where was Qian Shu?
Qian Shu was still above his head, and he looked at Lu Yin with a sinister gaze. "Die."
Qian Shu waved his fingers, and the same attack landed on Lu Yin's body, causing Lu Yin's body to recover.
Qian Shu was stunned; what defense was this?
Lu Yin was equally puzzled; he had clearly grabbed hold of Qian Shu.
Qing Yun suddenly exclaimed in admiration, "As expected of a genius from the Junior Defense Tower. He has a physique that allows him to shift space. His mind is in front of him, and his body is in a parallel space-time."
Everyone was puzzled.
Qian Shu's eyes flashed; Qing Yun's words were obviously helping Lu Yin, but it did not matter. So what if he knew?
No one could break through it.
"Sister, what's a physique that allows him to shift space?" Lu Siyu asked curiously.
Qing Yun said, "He can overlap the void, and he can instantly appear in the current space-time or in a parallel space-time. However, from an outsider's perspective, he is still in the current space-time. He can attack or defend. In the Junior Defense Tower, he is known as the Unsolvable."
Lu Siyu was shocked. "There's such a physique?"
Ming Xiaolong was shocked. "In the Junior Imperial Building, only one person is born in several eras and is qualified to sleep. In the current era, many people are qualified to compete for the position of sleeping, but very few can enter the Junior Imperial Building. Qianshu is not from our era. He, in his era, was invincible among his peers."
The Junior Defense Tower was a place that everyone knew about, but no one had a clear understanding of the slumbering Junior Defense Tower.
What was a genius that only appeared in several eras?
This concept was too vague.
Many people were called geniuses, and some were even invincible in the same realm. There were too many such people, and there were only eight positions in the Junior Defense Tower.
They were selected from the most elite cultivators of several eras.
They were one in a billion strong people.
That was why the Spring and Autumn Scroll did not hesitate to start a war and not give up on Qian Shu. Granny Ya, who had completed Ku Ai, had always been by his side to protect him.
