After discovering Lin Heng, Xu Ziqi and his two companions did not leave, but instead flew towards Lin Heng.
This scene, witnessed by the three sea lords other than Hongjun, revealed great curiosity.
Ever since Lin Heng arrived in the Four Seas and Eight Wastelands.
Hongjun's protection of him is well-known.
As soon as he ascended, he was placed in the Southern Spirit Sacred Sea for Lin Heng's protection.
Such treatment is probably unparalleled.
Logically speaking, this Heavenly Sea Contest...
Hongjun will certainly give strict orders to his subordinates not to kill Lin Heng.
However, Xu Ziqi and his two companions took the initiative to approach Lin Heng after seeing him.
This inevitably raised questions among the other three sea lords.
Could it be that the allure of Lin Heng himself was too great?
So much so that Xu Ziqi and the others refused to obey Hongjun's orders?
Soon, Xu Ziqi and his two companions stopped in front of Lin Heng.
Lin Heng, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, slowly opened them.
Xu Ziqi smiled slightly at Lin Heng and then transmitted his voice:
"Brother Lin, I am acting on my master's orders."
"If Brother Lin cannot demonstrate the strength to contend with the Sibada Haoli..."
"Then we can only ask Brother Lin to leave early."
Upon hearing Xu Ziqi's words, Lin Heng immediately understood.
This was Hongjun testing himself.
Lin Heng stood up and asked with a smile:
"Then what constitutes the ability to remain in the Mountains and Rivers Painting Scroll?"
As soon as Lin Heng finished speaking, Xu Ziqi immediately assumed a fighting stance.
"If Brother Lin can defeat the three of us..."
"Then naturally we can remain within the Mountains and Rivers Painting Scroll."
Xu Ziqi's method was very simple.
Only if Lin Heng demonstrates sufficient strength will they naturally retreat.
This was exactly what Lin Heng wanted to do.
While the two sides were communicating telepathically.
Outside the Mountains and Rivers Painting Scroll, Hermoz saw Lin Heng and Xu Ziqi standing facing each other, but remained silent for a long time.
Hermoz immediately realized that they were communicating telepathically.
This made him turn his head and glance at Hongjun.
However, since Xu Ziqi and the others didn't show anything particularly unusual, Hermoz didn't say anything.
In comparison, Dasiwoba and Lin Yue Yao performed rather indifferently.
Both of them were also quite surprised that Xu Ziqi had approached Lin Heng.
However, the two believed that Hongjun would not actually harm Lin Heng.
As for the people in the Southern Spirit Sacred Sea under his jurisdiction?
While they may not know the truth behind the scenes, at least on the surface, no one would be foolish enough to go against Hongjun.
Under the watchful eyes of the Lord of the Four Seas, new movements also occurred within the Mountains and Rivers Painting Scroll.
After glancing at Xu Ziqi and the other two, Lin Heng took out the Cliff-Carved Perdition Sword.
Although the opposing team consisted of three people, they were only at the Middle Creation Realm.
To deal with three Creation Realm, Lin Heng naturally wouldn't resort to the treasures given to him by Dasiwoba, or reveal the trump cards of his clones.
"Please!"
Lin Heng raised the Cliff-Carved Perdition Sword and bowed slightly in acknowledgment.
The three opponents, Xu Ziqi and his companions, also drew their weapons.
Then, the three of them swiftly moved, forming a triangle that firmly surrounded Lin Heng.
"Brother Lin, I'm sorry to offend you!"
Xu Ziqi shouted and took the initiative to attack.
The longsword in his hand, with the flick of his wrist, was like a dark green serpent opening its blood-red maw to stab at Lin Heng.
Lin Heng raised the Cliff-Carved Perdition Sword and thrust it forward. The tip of the sword struck the snake's mouth, and the longsword in Xu Ziqi's hand, which had been swaying erratically, was shaken back to its original shape.
If you look closely, you'll notice that even Xu Ziqi's hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.
It was just a tentative exchange.
However, the difference in their abilities was already obvious.
Seeing Xu Ziqi's defeat, his two companions also attacked Lin Heng together.
Surrounded from both sides, Lin Heng calmly wielded the Cliff-Carved Perdition Sword in his hand, thrusting and parrying left and right.
A series of clanging sounds of weapons clashing could be heard.
Lin Heng fought two opponents alone and showed no signs of being at a disadvantage.
In contrast, the two cultivators at the Creation Realm seemed somewhat flustered when faced with Lin Heng's counterattack.
Seeing that Lin Heng had gained the upper hand, Xu Ziqi felt reassured and joined the battle.
Lin Heng fought three cultivators at the Middle Creation Realm alone, and for a time the four of them were evenly matched.
Seeing this, Lin Yue Yao, who was watching from outside, immediately smiled.
" Cave Annihilation Realm fought three Middle Creation Realm single-handedly."
"In my opinion, Lin Heng's strength is probably no weaker than that of the Late-stage Creation Realm."
Hearing this, Hermoz felt uncomfortable.
It's too early to draw conclusions.
"So far, Xu Ziqi and the other two haven't used any of the Creation Realm's divine abilities."
" Lin Heng may indeed be no weaker than a Middle Creation Realm cultivator in terms of offensive power."
"But what if Xu Ziqi and the others use supernatural powers beyond the Creation Realm?"
" Lin Heng will probably be defeated in an instant."
Lin Yue Yao did not refute Hermoz's words.
This is also something she cares about.
The Creation Realm is superior to the Cave Annihilation Realm.
It's not just that it's stronger in terms of offensive energy.
What's important is the divine power to command all things and the creation of heaven and earth.
The two continued to look at the scenes depicted in the Mountains and Rivers Painting Scroll.
Just then, Lin Heng used his sword to force Xu Ziqi other two back.
The two sides exchanged hundreds of blows, but still could not determine a winner.
Xu Ziqi and the other two nodded secretly as they looked at Lin Heng.
Originally, they mostly just considered Lin Heng to be a lucky person.
After their exchange, the three of them were completely convinced of Lin Heng's abilities.
As the saying goes, the layman sees the spectacle, while the expert sees the details.
He only understood this after truly fighting Lin Heng.
His success today is not simply due to good luck.
Lin Heng faced three opponents alone, and each time he made the most precise defense, occasionally even managing to launch a counterattack.
Such combat experience cannot be obtained through mere luck.
Without countless life-or-death battles, how could one develop such a fighting instinct?
Xu Ziqi suddenly withdrew his longsword.
Looking at Lin Heng again, a stern look flashed in Xu Ziqi's eyes.
"We three admire Brother Lin's abilities."
"As long as you can safely get out of this next move by the three of us."
The three of us brothers left immediately.
Lin Heng seemed to have guessed what Xu Ziqi was going to do, and smiled slightly before nodding to signal him to continue.
The next second!
Xu Ziqi and his two companions once again formed a triangle, trapping Lin Heng in the center.
The three of them simultaneously extended their right hands, palms facing Lin Heng.
Three beams of light shot out from the three people's palms.
The three colors of light quickly overlapped and coalesced, forming a three-colored enclosed space.
At this moment, within this three-colored enclosed space, Lin Heng discovered that he was no longer able to absorb any energy.
Xu Ziqi looked at Lin Heng again.
"Brother Lin, your strength is indeed impressive."
"But today, I still want to tell you the difference between the Creation Realm and the Cave Annihilation Realm."
"Rather than lose my life at the hands of others."
"You've been defeated by the three of us, but you still have a chance to come back."
