CHAPTER 452: CHAPTER 286: FORCED INTO A DESPERATE SITUATION! IGNITED BLOODLUST!

An axe light that eclipses the world appears in the firmament.

At this moment, all things seem to have lost their colors, leaving only that extremely bright light.

In a world as if time had frozen, the light moves slowly yet so quickly it becomes a blur.

No sound is heard.

The seven-star formation that shrouds the heavens dissipates like smoke at the moment the axe light passes.

The ground within several thousand zhang vanishes layer by layer, as if becoming a deep abyss.

That extremely bright light stretches all the way to the depths of the sect.

A towering, endless peak emits a violent roar and is cut in half.

The world falls silent.

Everyone stands in stunned silence, watching this scene.

What unfolds before their eyes is a gigantic ravine a hundred zhang wide, disappearing into the distance.

And the thousands of prodigies once blocking Su Changqing all simultaneously vomit blood and retreat in disgrace.

The once-crowded mountain gate now has a wide-open road.

"Can the power of the Divine Aspect be so strong?"

The many experts of the Profound Pure Sect look incredulously at the young man at the mountain gate.

They can see that Su Changqing held back in that strike just now.

Otherwise, these thousand Daoist prodigies wouldn’t just be vomiting blood; they’d be scattered to the wind.

Defeating a thousand prodigies in one strike!

Such terrifying combat prowess shocks everyone.

"So, this is the genius of Daoism?"

Su Changqing returns to normal, shaking his head as he speaks:

"Not worth a single blow."

Su Changqing’s tone is as usual, without mockery or ridicule, but stating a fact.

Yet precisely because of this, Qing He and others’ faces turn to shame and anger, their rage rising.

"Su Changqing, this place is Daoism; it’s not your place to be arrogant!"

Qing He struggles to stand, turning to the sect’s gate and shouting:

"I implore the elders to act and capture this dark being!"

The many prodigies angrily shout in unison, requesting that the elders appear.

Furious shouts echo from the sky.

However, apart from the reverberating voices, not a single expert appears.

Xuan Yan has given a death order.

No matter what happens today in the Profound Pure Sect, no one is to act.

Anyone who disobeys will be expelled from the sect!

...

"This..."

Seeing no one appear, Qing He and others suddenly panic.

At this time, there is no one but them.

If Su Changqing were to fight his way into the sect, it would bring shame to Daoism and the Profound Pure Sect.

"Heh."

At this moment, Su Changqing’s light laugh rings out.

Looking at the thousand people before him, he speaks with a tone of pity:

"Your so-called confidence is nothing more than your elders backing you up."

"Now that no one steps forward, how do you plan to stop me, the dark being, from entering the Profound Pure Sect?"

Qing He angrily shouts, "You... too much!"

"Too much?"

Su Changqing smiles as he steps forward, "I intend to oppress you. What can you do about it?"

The crowd falls silent.

They all angrily watch Su Changqing step by step, trampling over their ’dignity’ as he walks into the Profound Pure Sect!

No one stops him, nor does anyone dare to stand up.

The fearsome combat power Su Changqing just displayed makes them understand that even if they did resist, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Yet this scene makes Su Changqing sigh inwardly, and Xuan Yan next to him wears a grim expression.

Su Changqing, as a dark being, oppresses the crowd to this extent.

He even openly strides into the gates of the Profound Pure Sect.

And yet, not a single person dared to stand up to stop him!

The so-called prodigies don’t even realize what immense humiliation this is!

If a true dark being came.

If by chance no sect experts were around.

Would these thousand disciples allow the opponent to tread into the sect, without a single one daring to fight to the death?

"This generation of disciples... has lost their courage long ago."

Xuan Yan sighs inwardly, his brow tightly furrowed.

The other hidden powers remain silent and grave in their gaze.

From this single event, they foresee the day the Profound Pure Sect might truly be breached by dark beings...

"Not even stopping me here?"

At this moment, even Su Changqing frowns.

He looks at the pairs of angry eyes, pondering,

"Am I not pushing them hard enough?"

Thinking of this, Su Changqing strides toward the massive martial arts stage.

Seeing this scene, not only do those prodigies’ expressions change, but even those mighty figures’ pupils contract slightly.

"I heard today is the selection for the honorific Vice Sect Leader of the Profound Pure Sect."

Su Changqing turns around, facing the crowd as he speaks:

"I, in my humility, wish to step onto the stage and try."

"Of course, I am aware of the rules that an outsider needs to defeat all the participants, correct?"

Saying this, he looks over the prodigies whose expressions have greatly changed, smiling:

"I wonder, considering their situation, does it count as defeat?"

Once the words fall, panic is visibly seen among the crowd.

The possibility of an outsider winning the position of Vice Sect Leader wasn’t taken seriously by anyone.

After all, there are a thousand prodigies present; could they really be beaten by one person?

But now, faced with the reality before them, the crowd is horrified to find out.

They... seemingly have already lost.

The thousand of them combined couldn’t stop Su Changqing!

So saying, according to the rules, Su Changqing... would indeed become the Vice Sect Leader of the Profound Pure Sect!

A single dark being becoming the Vice Sect Leader of a sacred Daoist ground...

This thought, as soon as it arises, makes the crowd dizzy and a huge fear emerges within their hearts.

"Su Changqing, don’t go too far!"

At this point, even some elders can’t sit still.

They consider Su Changqing’s arrival might be at the Domain Master’s behest.

But even if it’s the Domain Master’s will, they absolutely cannot let Su Changqing become the Vice Sect Leader!
