Thinking this, the Spirit Realm Elder from the An Family suddenly abandoned Qin Yichen and turned to attack Lu Linghan.
“Not good!” Qin Yichen’s face changed, and he immediately stamped his foot, completely disregarding his own injuries, pushing the Falling Technique to its limits as he rushed towards the Spirit Realm Elder.
*Bang!…* Lu Linghan was directly sent flying, crashing into the Royal Palace wall.
“Hehe, die!” The Spirit Realm Elder’s face was contorted, seemingly extra excited at the prospect of killing such an outstanding Heaven’s Chosen.
*Swish!* Just as he was about to strike again, a sharp energy came from behind him.
Qin Yichen’s person had not arrived, but his Spirit Sword had.
“Mere paltry tricks!” The Spirit Realm Elder snorted coldly with disdain, flicking his sleeve to send the Spirit Sword flying to one side, while his other sleeve lashed out towards Lu Linghan.
*Bang!* As the sleeve came at her, Lu Linghan closed her eyes, a look of desolation in them.
However, she did not regret it. If she had not stood up, perhaps she would have felt guilty for the rest of her life.
But the expected pain did not come. Opening her eyes, Lu Linghan saw a figure slowly falling in front of her.
It was Qin Yichen!
Lu Linghan’s pupils dilated sharply, falling into a momentary trance. At this moment, she almost stopped thinking, her mind a complete blank. In her vision, in her mind, the smile Qin Yichen gave her as he fell played over and over again. It was so deeply etched in her heart!
“No!…” A desolate scream came from Lu Linghan’s mouth, so desperate, so helpless, so fearful, it penetrated everyone’s hearts.
Then, an aura colder than the dead of winter spread from her delicate body. Her long hair floated up strand by strand, her eyes taking on an eerie grey colour, devoid of any light. So indifferent, so cold that just a glance made one feel as if their very Soul would freeze.
Her clothes fluttered in the wind, dancing with it. She stood there like a Demoness from Hell, so awe-inspiring that it made breathing difficult for others.
Her aura was rising rapidly, as if breaking through some constraint. The air in the entire world suddenly seemed to stagnate.
Although she still had a slender waist and fair skin, the same body now emitted a completely different fierce cold flame, like the grudge of a Rakshasa Woman, like the anger of a celestial maiden. The killing intent and murderous aura made others shiver involuntarily.
“How is this possible!?” The Spirit Realm Elder’s eyes revealed an expression of disbelief, and more so… terror! He wanted to flee, but found that no matter what, he could not move his feet.
“Die!” A cold voice devoid of any emotion came from Lu Linghan’s mouth, as if pronouncing his death sentence. The surrounding space began to compress towards the Spirit Realm Elder.
He felt as if his entire being had been plunged into an ice cellar. His Yuan Energy was frozen, his blood was frozen, even his Soul was frozen, preventing him from making even the slightest reaction.
As the cold wind blew past, this Spirit Realm expert stopped breathing. He remained standing there in his previous posture, motionless, his eyes still filled with shock and terror.
He, a mighty Spirit Realm expert, had died in such a small place!
After the Spirit Realm Elder’s death, Lu Linghan’s eyes showed no joy, still lifeless and sorrowful. Two tear tracks flowed from the corners of her eyes, falling and turning into ice beads that rolled off the arena.
“Ah… so cold.” Suddenly, a weak voice was heard. That familiar voice made Lu Linghan, who looked like a Demoness, tremble. She looked down to see Qin Yichen, half-lying there, clutching his chest and grimacing.
Lu Linghan seemed dazed, not reacting for a long time.
“Hey, I’m about to freeze to death, and you’re still in a daze?” Qin Yichen spoke with difficulty, and as soon as he spoke, he coughed violently, spitting out chunks of dirty blood.
“Oh… oh.” Lu Linghan seemed to finally react. As her eye colour returned to normal, the winter-like weather gradually warmed up, and she changed from a Demoness back to a normal person.
Looking at Lu Linghan, who seemed at a loss, Qin Yichen’s eyes also flashed with surprise, [Seems like she has already mastered the initial part of the Profound Dark Eternal Body Technique.]
Only people from his era knew how powerful the Profound Dark Eternal Body Technique was. Thus, Qin Yichen had not expected Lu Linghan’s cultivation to progress so smoothly.
Not everyone born with Yin Meridian could successfully cultivate this Profound Dark Eternal Body Technique. Compatibility was required, and Lu Linghan had a surprisingly high compatibility with it.
“Pills, the white bottle.” Qin Yichen reminded her. Lu Linghan frantically searched his body, accidentally touching his wounds several times, causing Qin Yichen to suck in cold air in pain.
After taking the specially made Healing Pill, Qin Yichen finally relaxed, half-lying in Lu Linghan’s arms, enjoying the soft warmth.
Around the arena.
It was silent, a terrifying silence.
A Spirit Realm expert had actually died!
For them, that was a supreme existence.
Countless gazes fell on Lu Linghan beside Qin Yichen, filled with extreme shock.
All this indicated that their Eldest Princess, Lu Linghan, had broken through the barrier between Martial Grandmaster and Spirit Realm, becoming the supreme expert of the dynasty!
Lu Heze, who had suffered minor injuries, was also too shocked to speak. He never imagined that his Daughter had concealed such great strength. Even before her breakthrough, Lu Linghan was already a match for him.
“Hehe.” Lu Heze bitterly laughed. It turned out that he had been like a Frog in a well all along, his vision was limited to the dynasty, overlooking the larger world outside.
“Mummy…” Little Ling’er had somehow left the Shu Sisters’ side and come onto the arena, wobbling towards Lu Linghan.
“Uh…” Seeing the bright-eyed little girl before him, Qin Yichen almost stopped thinking, his eyes widening infinitely. [Didn’t this mean? Little Ling’er isn’t that old scoundrel Lu Heze’s Illegitimate Daughter, but… my own!?]
He looked at Little Ling’er, then at Lu Linghan, who seemed either shy or embarrassed, his mind short-circuited.
[What is this? Had I muddleheadedly become a Father?]
“Heaven! What a beast! To have a Daughter this big already!” Ye Liangchen howled loudly, crying out about the injustice of Heaven. Qin Yichen was not even seventeen yet, he had this little girl. who was already three or four years old. This meant that Qin Yichen had done it with the Princess when he was just thirteen!!!
If he was not a beast, what was!?
“Seal off the Royal City immediately! Don’t let any of the Du Family escape!” On the other side, Lu Heze quickly issued a series of orders.
Everyone knew that with Du Junxiong’s fall, the Du Family in the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty was to be no more!
