Chapter 157 Kick N Run
With Ancestor Huang's sense and the formations of the central palace, he could naturally know what's happening in the peripheral area.
With a wave of his hand, he projected a screen. Long Ming's eyes narrowed when he saw it was none other than the group led by Qin Zhong.
" I see... Their confidence isn't unfounded." Luo Yingying suddenly spoke. " I think they picked that spot because it was the place of the array formation which had been weakened due to countless attempts of breaching."
" So, As long as they could find the correct rune diagram and break it, I think they might be able to create a small hole in the formation."
" However, that's only possible if Ancestor Huang doesn't use the power of formation and repair it immediately."
" Ancestor Huang, How about you do the opposite?" Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on Long Ming's lips.
" Please, Hear my plan..."

Soon, the time passed as more and more people gathered around the Flaming Mountain and Central Palace. Although most of them knew that Central Palace was nothing more than a sealed tourist attraction, there were a fair share of people trying to get into it every year.
After all, this place remained untouched even after thousands of years. Therefore, the treasures inside the central palace must be more than abundant.
If one can even get a small pile, they won't need to worry for the rest of their lives.
However, there were more people gathered near the fighting arena.
The arena used to be the dueling ground for the disciples of Four Seasons Valley. However, now, it's used to show off the strength of the younger generation.
Well, the interference during the fight between the younger generation of powerful sects and clans is very low. After all, each of their group was accompanied by a protector of the Harmonization Realm.
Even with sealed strength, a Harmonization Realm cultivator can deal with normal Primordial Spirit Unification Realm cultivators.
" Damn, Purple Cloud Sect won again! Their disciples are so powerful."
" Hehe, Six Sword Pavilion isn't that far off either."
" I heard Zhongye Sect and Green Cloud Mountain are trying to find the disciples of Four Seasons Valley?"
" But I can't seem to find them though?'
" Heh, those weaklings. They must be hiding in Inner Zone or Outer Zone."
" But I heard they accepted the challenge of Fourth Prince Qin Chen. Do you think they are going to appear here?"
" Doubt."
After the match finished, Qin Chen swung his robes and jumped into the arena.
" Cowards of Four Seasons Valley! Since you have killed my comrades, Accept your punishment!"
Qin Chen's voice echoed throughout the area as he stood on the stage with imposing might.
" Since you have accepted the challenge, appear before me right now!"
Qin Chen's voice was enough to attract everyone's attention. Holy Qilin Empire could be called one of the current leading powerhouses in Eastern Province.
And since Four Seasons Valley had offended him, everyone was eager to see the results.
However, since it was the third day, another hot topic was naturally Prince Qin Zhong who gathered before the main gate of Central Palace.
"Prince Qin Zhong is looking pretty confident. Can he break the formation of the Central Palace?"
" I don't think so. Many people in the past tried to break the formation. Yet, I don't think they managed to break the formation."
" But I heard Prince Qin Zhong hired a Formation King?"
" Let's see..."
Qin Zhong looked at an Elder standing beside him. " Elder Ching, I have brought all the treasures you asked for."
Elder Ching rubbed his beard as he took out a small chart. On the chart, various rune formations moving in a circle.
"Earth grade Formation Breaking Orbs are very hard to find. Yet you managed to get five of them." n).o)-v-.e(.l)-b(-I-)n
" Don't worry, Prince Qin Zhong. With my Spirit Dissolving Chart and the Formation Breaking Orbs, I can at least create a small passageway if not able to break the formation."
Elder Ching poured his Spiritual Qi into the chart, making the runes come alive. Jumping and slithering around like runic snakes, they appeared in the air and charged at entrance of Central Palace.
A pale silver barrier appeared before the runic snakes, making them bounce back. The silver barrier was none other than the protective array formation of the Central Palace.
The group of Qin Zhong already placed the five Formation Breaking Orbs in five places.
" Just a bit more...Prince Qin, It will only take a bit of time."
Meanwhile, Qin Chen and others were being impatient as disciples of Four Seasons Valley didn't show up at all.
" Could it be...They are too scared to come?"
" Four Seasons Valley disciples are a bunch of spineless cowards!"
Qin Chen was on a gloomy mood when he saw that. It would be much more difficult to go to the Four Seasons Valley directly and ask for an explanation.
Besides, his main goal was still the Returning Spring Sword Art and Flowing Energy Art.
If My Qinglian doesn't come, he have to resort to extreme measures.
However, his eyes brightened when he saw Long Ming slowly descend from the sky.
With fluttering white robe, his expression was serene, like an immortal without a single speck of dust.
On both sides, Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin landed, making the trio look more stunning and complete.
Long Ming looked like a king accompanied by two fairies.
The male cultivators becomes jealous as their face turned green with envy. M
Meanwhile, the girls were already mesmerized by Long Ming's looks and aura.
" Oh my! He is looking so handsome!"
" My heartbeat increased the moment I saw him"
" Such a masculine body yet such smooth skin."
Qin Chen was also feeling envious, but he suppressed the feelings and looked at them.
" Heh, I thought you weren't coming. I guess the disciples of Four Seasons Valley still have some guts"
Long Ming fanned his Plum Blossom paper fan as he looked at Qin Chen.
" Well, only thieves and robbers come early to loot valuable things, Prince Qin."
" Brat, Not respecting the prince of Holy Qilin Empire, you are forgetting your place!"
An old man standing behind Qin Chen snorted as his eyes turned cold.
Long Ming checked his cultivation with his Heavenly Revelation Eyes.
' A high stage Harmonization Realm bodyguard. But I think his age must be past a five hundred year old.'
A Harmonization Realm Cultivator can live till a thousand years. But that's only possible if they live without any danger.
After all, how many cultivators are there who never used their life force and burned their true blood while fighting against their enemies? And those who managed to recover it even more rare.
So looking at the old man, Long Ming judged that his talent was even worse than Lin Xie and Chen Yin.
However, a Harmonization Realm cultivator is powerful indeed. But Long Ming didn't care about him.
The old man was surprised when he saw Long Ming didn't even flinch when he used his spritual qi to pressurized him.
What's more, he looked like a being who is connected with the world itself.
Long Ming's Desolate Immortal Aura gave him an ethereal and powerful aura.
" I guess Prince Qin Chen is too lazy to reveal his *powerful abilities*. So, he is making his servant do instead." Long Ming spoke with a sarcastic voice.
" Yo-You!!" Qin Chen gnashed his teeth when he heard Long Ming's mocking.
" Your tongue is sharp, Brat. But I wonder if you are only filled with empty talks and nothing else?"
" Hmph! Qin Chen, If you want to fight, fight with me..."
Mu Qinglian looked at Qin Chen, speaking with a dominating voice.
But Long Ming stopped her. " It's alright, Sister Mu. I can handle it."
Saying that, Long Ming hopped on the stage, walking leisurely towards Qin Chen.
" Hmph! Brat, I will make you regret offending the Imperial Family of Holy Qilin Empire!"
Qin Chen took a step forward as his body slowly covered with scales. His nails became sharp and his eyes lit with with small sparks.
" Azure Royal Qilin Energy! Qin Chen activated his bloodline!"
" So he is really serious about this fight, huh?"
" Look, he even pulled out his weapon!"
Qin Chen held a long sword which also covered with thin blue scales.
" Pull out your weapon! I won't feel good if I don't crush you thoroughly."
" Still trash talking?" Long Ming kept fanning himself gracefully. " Attack me already."
" Hmph? As you wish!"
Seeing Long Ming's nonchalant attitude, Qin Chen became both enraged and happy.
Enraged because Long Ming wasn't treating him seriously. And happy, Because he felt he could easily crush Long Ming's arrogance.
' He probably never thought I am using a Royal grade sword. Beside, my Great Qilin Sword Technique already reached the peak of Perfection stage.'
" Qilin Flame Slash!"
Qin Chen's body moved as his sword turned into a fiery claw of a Qilin.
The claw blazes with burning sword qi, trying to grasp Long Ming.
Yet the moment it caught Long Ming, Long Ming's figure disappeared like a mirage.
" Such a slow attack. It's Qilin's claw or Turtle 's slap?" Long Ming chuckled.
" Bastard! Taste this!"
Qin Chen snorted and his sword morphed into a qilin. Several flaming claws appeared as the sword qi covered the entire arena.
" Let's see how you can dodge this!"
Long Ming took a deep breath as his Plum Blossom fan snapped open.
Twisting his body, he waved the fan with great force.
"Plum Blossoms Wind storm!"
The Fragrant Yin Qin burst into a torrent of plum blossom petals as it covered the flaming claws.
" Such a graceful technique!"
" The blooming plum blossoms looks so amazing "
The plum blossom torrent repeled the burning claws.
" Second form! Qilin-"
Before Qin Chen could make his second move, Long Ming's Heavenly Revelation Eyes shone as he looked at the entrance of Central Palace.
" Alright, It's about to begin!"
Suddenly, Lightning crackled around his body as he activated Rushing Lightning Steps and Raging Storm Wings simultaneously.
Along with that, he also used his Great Mystic Mountain Body, making his weight increase like an ancient great mountain.
Qin Chen's eyes turned wide when he saw Long Ming disappearing from his position and appearing right next to him.
" Take this!"
Tremendous speed merged with a mountain like weight, covered in Lightning qi.
Qin Chen felt his internal organ turning into mush when Long Ming kicked his chest viciously.
*Pfft!*
Coughing a mouthful of blood, Qin Chen got blew back like a canon ball.
However, a blue colored scale armor lit up on his body, making him evade death.
At that moment, the Central Palace shone with blinding radiance.
" The Central Palace is open!"
Long Ming didn't attacked Qin Chen anymore. But he jumped off from the stage and escaped toward the central palace.
" ???"
" What?"
" The hell happened??"
