Kill the Enemy!

Fang Qing's Cultivation Level in the thatched hut officially advanced from the Life Spring Realm to the Divine Bridge Realm.

Upon entering this realm, Fang Qing felt his physical strength grow ever more powerful. His internal organs seemed to have become divine iron, while within his Wheel of Life, divine power flowed without end. The might of the Divine Lamp he had refined continued to rise. Once unleashed, it could suppress everything.

In particular, Fang Qing's Divine Lamp could activate the external Bronze Lamp, greatly increasing its power as well.

Its destructive power had surged explosively.

Fang Qing had already sensed some of the mysteries of the Divine Bridge Realm, but he still wanted to go out and test what this realm could truly do.

He had not left Lingxu Grotto-Heaven for quite some time. The disciples under Elder Han were surely growing impatient.

"It's time to go out and take a look. Better yet, I can wipe them all out in one sweep."

Fang Qing left his residence and slowly flew outward.

Along the way, he encountered quite a few disciples of Lingxu Grotto-Heaven. Upon seeing him, all of them saluted with great respect. Everyone knew that Fang Qing had upheld justice for the ordinary disciples some days ago, even at the cost of offending Elder Han.

What disciple would not admire such a senior brother?

"Greetings, Senior Brother Fang Qing!"

"We pay respects to Senior Brother Fang!"

"Senior Brother truly has such fine manners. He even greets ordinary disciples like us. He is truly an outstanding senior brother of Lingxu Grotto-Heaven!"

"Senior Brother Fang Qing has only been in Lingxu Grotto-Heaven for a short time, yet he has already cultivated to the Life Spring Realm! I have been in the sect for five years and am still in the Bitter Sea Realm. I truly hope to follow Senior Brother Fang Qing's footsteps and enter the Life Spring Realm as well."

"Senior Brother is a genius. We can only cultivate diligently. Fortunately, we no longer have to worry about our Hundred Herb Liquid being stolen. Our cultivation conditions are so much better than before!"

Many male and female disciples discussed Fang Qing, treating him with great respect.

Yet amid all those discussions, one or two disciples kept a constant eye on Fang Qing's movements. When they saw that Fang Qing had actually left Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, their expressions changed drastically.

One of them continued watching Fang Qing, while the other immediately headed toward a cave residence.

"What? You say Fang Qing truly left Lingxu Grotto-Heaven?"

Inside a pavilion, a gaunt old man with a pale complexion listened to his disciple's report. His face darkened with storm clouds, and his expression was terrifying beyond measure.

This old man was one of Lingxu Grotto-Heaven's elders surnamed Han—Han Yishui, Han Feiyu's grandfather.

"This disciple would never dare deceive Master. Junior Brother Liu Li and I saw it with our own eyes. Junior Brother Liu Li is still following Fang Qing now, while I hurried here to report it."

A man in his thirties spoke respectfully.

"Were Wu Qingfeng, Lu Zhihua, or any of the others beside Fang Qing?"

Han Yishui seemed to recall something and hurriedly asked.

"This disciple can guarantee that Fang Qing was alone. There were absolutely no other elders with him."

The young man replied with absolute certainty.

"Good, very good! Since he is alone, he is dead for certain this time!"

Han Yishui's face darkened further. "Go. All ten of you fellow disciples will go this time and kill him together. No, I will go too, and so will my younger brother. We will go together and make certain to kill him in one stroke!"

"Ah?"

Shock appeared on the young man's face. "Master, do we really need so many people to act together? That little beast has only just reached the Life Spring Realm, while my fellow brothers and I entered the Life Spring Realm long ago. Forget ten of us joining forces—even if I went alone, I would be confident of killing him. Not to mention that you and Granduncle are going as well. Isn't this making too much of it?"

"Fool!"

Han Yishui gave the young disciple a cold look. "Never underestimate an opponent. Even a lion must use its full strength to hunt a rabbit. If we are going to kill him, then we must kill him completely in one attempt. We cannot give him any chance to escape! Otherwise, if we fail this time, that little beast will likely never leave Lingxu Grotto-Heaven again."

"This disciple understands. I will summon Senior Brother and Senior Sister immediately."

The young man promptly withdrew.

"I must summon my younger brother as well. I refuse to believe that a Divine Bridge Realm cultivator like me, along with eleven Life Spring experts, cannot kill a single Fang Qing!"

Han Yishui moved, transforming into a streak of light as he immediately went to summon his younger brother.

Though his younger brother was still in the Life Spring Realm, he had reached its peak and could kill Life Spring cultivators like Fang Qing.

The entire Han Family sprang into action.

Before long, Elder Han, Elder Han, and the ten disciples under them all left Lingxu Grotto-Heaven.

The ten disciples under Han Yishui were all currently in the Life Spring Realm. However, the leading man, the Han Sect Senior Brother, had vaguely reached the peak of the Life Spring Realm. It seemed that after a few more years of cultivation, he could ascend to the Divine Bridge Realm.

As for the Han Sect Second Senior Sister, a woman in her forties, her cultivation was also at the peak of the Life Spring Realm. She faintly showed signs of possibly breaking through to the Divine Bridge Realm.

The other cultivators of the Han Sect were all in their thirties and at the Life Spring Realm, none of them having reached its peak.

"What happens today must be quick. We cannot let those damned elders discover us. As long as Fang Qing is dead, it will be useless no matter what those elders say."

Han Yishui instructed his disciples.

"Yes, Master!"

A full twelve figures transformed into streaks of light and sped forward.

A disciple of the Han Sect was already following Fang Qing, so these Han disciples could all track Fang Qing's path.

After traveling several hundred li, they gradually arrived at a mountainous forest.

"Hm? My connection with Junior Brother Liu Li has suddenly been cut off!"

The man who had reported the news earlier changed expression.

"You really did come after me. In that case, I have no choice but to wipe you all out."

Fang Qing's figure suddenly appeared in the air. As he spoke, a massive Bronze Lamp emerged in the sky. In that instant, the temperature throughout the air soared wildly, as though heaven and earth had become a furnace.

The Bronze Lamp revolved as terrifying flames boiled. In an instant, streaks of divine fire pierced through the air, traversing the entire world at an unimaginable speed.

"Ah!"

Screams rang out one after another. The Han Sect Senior Brother, the man just one step away from the Divine Bridge Realm, had only just unleashed a blood-colored demonic blade when a streak of divine fire pierced his body, reducing him completely to ashes.

"No!"

At the same time, the Han Sect Second Senior Sister, the woman in her forties, had only just unleashed her Silver Flood Dragon Shears when a spark passed through her delicate skin. Her internal organs instantly burned to ashes.

The silver Silver Flood Dragon Shears fell before they could release any power.

Streaks of Divine Light and divine fire whirled at incredible speed. The eleven Life Spring cultivators had no power to resist and were instantly killed.

Elder Han Yishui, an expert of the Divine Bridge Realm, resisted for a brief moment, but the flames of the Bronze Lamp still pierced through him, leaving him utterly dead.

"I refuse to accept this!"
