CHAPTER 364: CHAPTER 359: OVERTURNING

Cui Shan’s expression changed as he stared at An Shicheng.

Previously in Qinghe County, there were many rumors about An Shicheng, portraying him as a second-generation scion, unorthodox, and a playboy. Even now, An Shicheng still behaved like a playboy.

But the events that had occurred made Cui Shan feel that it might not be that simple.

Moreover, in the past, even though An Shicheng was frivolous, he would never publicly humiliate the Cui Family like this. Although the court ruled the world and Prince Qinghe was the nominal ruler of Qinghe County, the Cui Family was deeply rooted in Qinghe County, and both sides had always been at peace.

But now, An Shicheng was openly challenging them. Was it really just because of his reckless nature?

"An Shicheng, you a mere playboy, dare to speak against the Cui Family?" Before Cui Shan could speak, someone from Yu Kun Academy behind him couldn’t help but interject.

An Shicheng glanced at him coldly and sneered, "Who are you to speak to me like that?"

"Mo Shang of Yu Kun Academy," the cultivator replied.

"Is that the Yu Kun Academy that was almost slaughtered by Divine Wood Mountain Villa that night?" An Shicheng mocked, "A bunch of worthless people, daring to call themselves the premier cultivation place in Qinghe County."

At these words, the crowd glared angrily, their auras agitated.

"What, not convinced?" An Shicheng challenged, "Want to try?"

"In that case, I shall experience the Princely Heir’s techniques,"

Mo Shang said coldly. As soon as he finished speaking, his body soared into the sky, a gale storm surged, and he raised his hand towards An Shicheng below, summoning a ferocious bird in the storm to dive down. The fierce astral wind raged, and the Mana-condensed bird seemed like a real demon, its claws tearing towards An Shicheng.

An Shicheng raised his hand and swung, a brilliant blade light flashed, and the bird was instantly split apart, the gale storm also torn asunder, and the dazzling blade continued slashing towards Mo Shang in the air.

Mo Shang’s expression changed drastically, the blade light was like a cold moon, carrying a chilling murderous intent, severing the space. He quickly formed seals with his hands, numerous ferocious birds roared down together, while his body soared higher.

"Trash."

An Shicheng sneered, leaping high into the sky, wielding the blade with a chilling aura, a terrifying golden storm raged. As the blade was swung, a storm of destruction roared out, filling the sky with blade light, attacking Mo Shang.

"Not good."

Below, the crowd’s expressions changed abruptly, under the sky-filling blade light, Mo Shang seemed doomed.

At that moment, a figure shot into the sky, blocking in front of Mo Shang, with a Dharma Form manifesting behind him, it was Cui Shan in his Fatian Xiangdi form.

Cui Shan swiftly formed seals with his hands, unleashing a torrent of Dharma Seals that collided with the incoming blade light, constant explosions resounding in the air as blade light and Dharma Seals extinguished together.

"Is this the disciple of Yu Kun Academy?" An Shicheng sarcastically glanced at Mo Shang, only to see Mo Shang’s face turn deathly pale, his heart extremely shocked, how could this playboy be so powerful?

The cultivation An Shicheng displayed was at the peak of the Fifth Realms, with great combat prowess, nothing like the playboy they knew.

So, had An Shicheng been hiding his strength all along?

"What excellent Sword Technique." Cui Shan praised, "Everyone in Qinghe County thought the Princely Heir was a playboy, but turns out they were wrong. The Princely Heir hides his skills well."

"Why would I hide?" An Shicheng said dismissively, "It’s just that usually, I don’t need to take action. I thought with families like Cui and Xie, and Yu Kun Academy, Qinghe County could remain peaceful. My father and I could enjoy a good life without concerning ourselves with external matters. Who would’ve thought you all were so incapable? Just a mere Divine Wood Mountain Villa and Old Demon plunged Qinghe County into crisis."

With disdain, An Shicheng said, "Since that’s the case, the Prince Manor will have to act personally."

The distant crowd erupted into an uproar, people around the street engaged in lively discussions.

Previously, the Prince Manor seemed mediocre, simply unwilling to manage Qinghe County’s affairs?

Now that the Cui and Xie families couldn’t handle it, they stepped forward.

If that’s true, then the Prince of Qinghe County must also be extraordinary?

The playboy heir now transformed into a prodigy, so what about Prince Qinghe...

Li Fan glanced at An Shicheng, realizing the princely heir came here not just for him but to establish authority.

The noble families in Qinghe County had massive influence, managing various enterprises and resources, with their founded Yu Kun Academy being a sacred cultivation place for Qinghe County’s cultivators.

Prince Qinghe needed an opportunity if he wished to break this stronghold.

And now, they found this opportunity, intending to break the deadlock, shatter the prestige of noble families, trample the sacred name of Yu Kun Academy, and reshape Qinghe County’s order.

Even to the extent of making all forces completely submit to the court, thereby allowing Prince Manor to fully control Qinghe County, and not just in name.

Now, it’s just unclear whether this demonic calamity was a coincidence or man-made.

Cui Shan naturally realized the purpose of the other party’s actions as well.

Gazing ahead, Cui Shan spoke loudly: "In that case, I, Cui Shan of the Cui Family, seek to experience the Princely Heir’s skills, please enlighten me."

Hearing Cui Shan’s words, the surrounding crowd grew even more excited, and figures flew in from the distance, landing all around to watch the battle.

Prince An Shicheng of Qinghe County pretended to be a fop, but now he no longer held back, revealing his sharpness. Cui Shan was the prodigy of the Cui Family, standing shoulder to shoulder with Xie Lingxuan as the most prodigious talents in Qinghe County.

Is the pretentious An Shicheng stronger, or is the prodigy Cui Shan of the Cui Family stronger?

Cui Shan continued to ascend, using Fatian Xiangdi. Behind him, his Dharma Form appeared like a War God, with three heads and six arms, his Mana surging.

In the opposite direction, an alarming golden storm erupted from An Shicheng’s body, Sword Intent enveloping the sky. At the same time, his vitality soared to the sky, Golden Body Immortal, appearing as if his body was coated with a golden radiance.

"Golden Body Realm of Martial Arts." The crowd felt a chill in their hearts.

Before they could recover, they saw a furious surge of Mana behind An Shicheng, and another Golden Body appeared, surprisingly the Golden Body Ancient Buddha, dignified and sacred.

"Buddhist Sect Dharma Form."

The crowd was even more shocked, martial arts Sword Technique, concurrently cultivating Martial Arts, and having a Buddhist Sect Dharma Form.

This Prince of Qinghe County was truly deeply hidden, no one knew he was so outstanding.

"Golden Body, Buddhist Sect Cultivation Technique." Li Fan looked at An Shicheng, and although the other was holding a large blade, it appeared somewhat incongruous. However, hiding his prowess for so long, the Prince Qinghe and his son were indeed not simple.

"Cui Shan, I heard your Dharma Seal attacks are tyrannical. Let’s see today if your Dharma Seal is stronger, or my Buddhist Seal Technique is superior." An Shicheng spoke loudly, his voice reverberating through the void.

As his voice fell, a brilliant Buddhist light blossomed between heaven and earth, illuminating the world. The towering Golden Body Ancient Buddha behind him seemed to move, raising its enormous golden Buddhist hand to blast forward. Instantly, a Dharma Seal appeared, inscribed with the character ’卍’, which emitted magnificent Buddhist light, suppressing toward Cui Shan.

The Dharma Form behind Cui Shan, with its three heads and six arms, extended its numerous arms forward. As the palm prints blasted out, many tyrannical Dharma Seals roared out.

"Cui Family’s Demon Suppression Seal, truly tyrannical."

This gigantic Dharma Seal was engraved with Sealing Characters, temporarily obscuring the sky and sun.

"Hmph." An Shicheng sneered, and the Buddha light quivered. The statue transformed into a Thousand-Handed Buddha, unleashing countless Buddhist Seal Techniques to collide with the Demon Suppression Seal mid-air. People standing below felt their eardrums shaking, their blood and Qi surging.

A battle of assault began.

An Shicheng, his combat power was not in the slightest inferior to Cui Shan of the Cui Family.

"Cui Shan, you boast as the first prodigy of Qinghe County, is this all your combat power?" In the air, An Shicheng shouted. As his voice fell, a more terrifying surge of vital energy roared from his body. Ten thousand feet of Buddha light shone upon the world. The Dharma Form ascended, continuously expanding, a gigantic Ancient Buddha appeared in the sky, overlooking Cui Shan.

The crowd looked up, feeling a strong sense of oppression. Facing the gigantic Golden Body Ancient Buddha, they all felt insignificant.

The Ancient Buddha raised its palm, pressing down towards Cui Shan. Instantly, a gigantic Buddhist Dharma Seal appeared, covering Cui Shan overhead. For a moment, the sky seemed to darken, many people’s bodies trembled, as if witnessing a deity or Buddha.

Cui Shan waved his arms, countless ancient seals surrounded his body, more and more of them, each Dharma Seal inscribed with a character.

"Go."

Cui Shan raised his hand to the sky, and the numerous Dharma Seals merged into one, countless characters simultaneously burst forth with golden radiance, the world shook, the grand path resonated. The fused Dharma Seal was like a divine stele, the characters inscribed upon it emitted light sharp as swords.

Rumble...

The sky trembled, as the two giant seals clashed, everyone only felt the sky and earth shattering, some cultivators with weaker cultivation had their blood and Qi churning, some could not help but groan.

Amidst the shattered Dharma Seals, a beam of blade light burst forth, piercing through the void, striking toward Cui Shan.

The cultivators looked up, watching as An Shicheng bore the Ancient Buddha, like a Buddha wielding a blade, shattering the void with one strike.

A stroke of blade light caught everyone’s eye, as if etching into their minds. As this incredibly stunning blade fell, they heard what seemed to be the sound of something shattering, Cui Shan’s body was slashed away.

That was the sound of the shattered myth of Qinghe County.

The foppish son in people’s eyes, Prince An Shicheng of Qinghe County, retreated Cui Shan of the Cui Family, reputed as the first prodigy of Qinghe County, with an incomparably dominant posture.

This seemed an impossibility, yet it truly presented itself before the eyes of the world.

The people of Yu Kun Academy were ashen-faced, unable to accept such an outcome.

Xie Lingxuan’s expression was also grim. This Prince of Qinghe County turned out to be an extraordinary prodigy.

This battle was enough to overturn the impression of the people of Qinghe County regarding their Prince.
