"This is a Combined Attack Formation. Watch the Xiantian Gang Qi of the four of them. They will force you back step by step until there is nowhere left to retreat," Lin Yuchan said quickly.
Facing such formidable enemies, Su Changqing's heart stirred slightly. The Lin Family truly deserved its origins as an escort agency; even a woman possessed such broad knowledge.
Unfortunately, Lin Yuchan's fate was fraught with misfortune. If Su Changqing had not turned back today, she would surely have died miserably, just as she had on Mount Zhenwu.
This was fate decreed in the unseen. She should have died long ago.
Dong Wang, Xi Wang, Nan Wang, and Bei Wang approached with cold, sharp gazes.
Xiantian Gang Qi spread around them as four longsabers, chilling and terrifying, slashed toward Su Changqing.
Su Changqing drove Frost Snow into the ground, instantly shattering the bluestone floor of Full Moon Tower into pieces.
He moved first, golden light blazing from his hand as he grabbed at one of them.
"Fifth Transformation of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill?" Dong Wang's expression changed as he shouted, "Change the formation!"
The four held their sabers horizontally. Four Steel Sabers converged as blades came from all directions, cold gleams bursting forth and Gang Qi raging wildly.
Su Changqing's expression shifted as streams of crimson blood dripped from his hand.
The Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill had made his body incomparably powerful, yet even he could not withstand the combined force of the four men.
"Your saber arts and body tempering have both reached great mastery. Given time, you would become a peak figure even in the Xiantian Realm, but unfortunately, you encountered the four of us!"
Dong Wang sneered, his sinister eyes fixed on Su Changqing. "Commander Su, you are undoubtedly doomed today!"
"Haha, doomed? The one who can kill me, Su Changqing, has not yet been born!" Su Changqing laughed. His bearing was handsome and refined, his sword-like brows reaching his temples as he gazed at the four with calm indifference.
"If you have the nerve, come! I'll kill every last one of you here!"
His voice was icy and piercing, sending a chill through the hearts of the four men.
"Kill him!" Dong Wang said coldly.
"Attack the woman in his arms. He will surely be too restrained to fight freely!"
The four held their sabers crosswise and shifted swiftly, four Steel Sabers slashing down at once.
Waves of air surged around them, making the entire Full Moon Tower tremble as countless tables and chairs flew through the air.
Su Changqing drew his saber. Frost Snow was freezing to the bone, blooms of ice crystals unfurling around it.
Boom!
A great battle erupted in full. Su Changqing fought the Four Wangs' Heavenly Gang Formation alone, Frost Snow flashing brilliantly as danger lurked at every turn.
The diners below had scattered and fled as soon as the fighting began. Hiding off to the side, they watched the brutal battle with trembling hearts.
"Let go of me, or you'll die." Lin Yuchan looked at Su Changqing in shock, crystal tears sliding down her cheeks as she spoke quickly.
His saber was fast, but how could one saber possibly contend with four Eighth Level of Xiantian experts, especially while burdened by her?
Su Changqing's cultivation was inferior to that of the three men. He could only hold on through his mighty body, and before long, his Flying Fish Robe had been torn apart, blood splattering across Full Moon Tower.
"Watch my hand signal. Later, return to the third floor." Su Changqing's lips moved slightly as he spoke calmly.
What courage, what resolve. He did not care in the slightest.
"Alright, you must survive." Lin Yuchan was deeply shaken. Her eyes trembled as she nodded.
"With the four of us here, you still think you can live? Heavenly Gang Formation, change again!" Dong Wang let out a cold howl.
"One final move. We will kill him!" Xi Wang, Nan Wang, and Bei Wang said coldly in unison.
The four men's eyes were sharp and cold as the formation changed again. Their sabers whirled horizontally like four massive wind wheels, cold gleams bursting forth and sweeping in every direction.
It had nearly become a hurricane of Blade Aura, awe-inspiring as it pressed toward Su Changqing step by step.
No ordinary Xiantian Realm martial artist could survive before four such storms of Blade Aura.
Su Changqing took a deep breath, his gaze cold and sharp. Holding his saber sideways, he raised his left arm beneath Lin Yuchan's shapely backside and shoved fiercely.
With the strength of one arm, Su Changqing sent Lin Yuchan flying from the first floor back to the third. The fall hurt badly, but she hurriedly rose and leaned over the railing, looking down with tears in her eyes and a trembling heart.
"Do not concern yourselves with that. Our task is to kill Su Changqing!"
Dong Wang's cold voice rang out from within the four Blade Aura hurricanes on the first floor.
The four accelerated, their storms of Blade Aura sweeping forward and slicing Su Changqing's body apart, blood spraying into the air as wounds deep enough to expose bone appeared across him.
The blood stung Lin Yuchan's eyes. She stood there blankly, tears sliding from her eyes before she staggered back and collapsed to the floor.
"Don't die..."
Su Changqing's eyes narrowed slightly. He held Frost Snow horizontally and suddenly bent low at the waist.
Dominating Blade! Heartless Slash!
One saber strike tore through the air.
Sweeping away everything, dominating the world!
This strike ignored all else and targeted the legs of the four men.
The terrifying Blade Aura descended, changing the expressions of the Four Wangs. They kicked off the ground and leaped through the air, evading the strike.
At the same time, all four sabers rose, cold gleams bursting forth as they hacked down toward Su Changqing.
These four strikes were difficult to block and enough to cleave Su Changqing apart on the spot.
Su Changqing's eyes remained utterly calm. Purple Blood flashed from his waist, crimson as blood, straight and demonic as it slashed forth again.
A sword wreaked havoc, its blade ringing sharply.
It still pointed directly at the legs of the four men.
The expressions of the four changed, and they could only turn their saber blades to block the sword strike.
Killing Su Changqing would be easy, but they had no desire to have their legs severed. Even if they could reattach them, they would never again have a chance to break through to the Earth Fiend Realm.
Su Changqing's eyes narrowed. Moving with incredible speed, he turned and abruptly fled toward the exit of Full Moon Tower.
"You shameless bastard! You only know how to chop at people's legs!" Dong Wang roared in fury.
How could there be such a person in this world? He called himself Little Guan Gong, yet specialized in chopping off people's legs?
"If we let him escape, the reputations of the four of us will be utterly ruined!"
"Kill him! Even if we must chase him to the Ends of the Earth today, we will cut him into pieces and bring him back to the Eastern Depot!"
"He is severely injured. Our Blade Aura just broke through his flesh. He cannot have gone far."
"What should we do with Princess Yuchan upstairs?"
"What does she have to do with us? Are we supposed to kill her in front of everyone? She is a County Princess, after all," Dong Wang said coldly.
Killing Lin Yuchan would be easy, but the Central King and Central King's Consort would surely fly into a rage. Even Director Cao could not protect them then.
But during their fight with Su Changqing, they could kill her, since they could pin everything on Su Changqing.
With the methods of the Eastern Depot, that would be effortless.
"Kill!"
The four men's eyes turned cold as they all rushed outside. Their speed was not inferior to Su Changqing's in the slightest.
"County Princess, are you alright?"
Qingyun and Liuyue hurried over, helping Lin Yuchan up with worry in their eyes.
"Did you fire the signal arrow?" Lin Yuchan snapped out of her daze and quickly grabbed both their hands.
"County Princess, we have already fired it. Our Central King has many retainers under him, including Earth Fiend Realm experts. Everything will be fine," Qingyun said hurriedly.
Lin Yuchan sat on the floor and nodded slightly. Then she suddenly remembered something, her face turning pale as she hurriedly said:
"But those are my uncle-by-marriage's men. They will never save Commander Su."
Four Eighth Level of Xiantian experts were no small matter. Even the Central King might not offend the Eastern Depot for her sake.
Much less for a Su Changqing who was about to die.
Though Lin Yuchan did not practice martial arts, she was exceptionally intelligent and quickly realized the truth.
"Come with me to the Suppression Bureau. Commander Zuo was once saved by Su Changqing. He values loyalty and righteousness, so he will surely go save him."
"If we are late, it will be too late."
Within Chang'an City, in a street-corner alley, Su Changqing pushed the Four Seasons Cloud Falling Steps to their limit. He ran along the walls at astonishing speed.
These injuries looked frightening, but to him, they were merely superficial.
The Indestructible Vajra Divine Art, the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill, and the Profound Heaven True Qi—each was a martial art capable of strengthening the body to an extreme, overwhelmingly tyrannical.
If an ordinary person obtained just one and cultivated it successfully, they could roam the martial world unhindered.
In the Life Script, Ye Tian had obtained the Profound Heaven True Qi and could even fight the Destined Protagonist, Feng Taixu.
Su Changqing narrowed his eyes and looked at the four murderous figures pursuing him with sabers in hand. His heart was cold, killing intent as vast as the sea.
Once they reached the wilderness beyond the city, he would kill all four of them!
