Chapter 159 - 156: Gun God Unparalleled Through the Ages

"He broke through another level? How is this possible?"

"At the Eighth Level of the Second Realm, he sent a Seventh Level of Tongyou Realm expert flying. Now, how could those people possibly be a match for Mo Qianqian?"

"The localized combat power might become unbalanced."

The crowd began to discuss once more. Meanwhile, Mo Qianqian’s climbing aura finally settled after reaching the Ninth Level of the Second Realm. But at this moment, his body was filled with explosive power.

CLANG!

Swinging his long spear, Mo Qianqian sent a Seventh Level of Tongyou Realm old man flying without even using any martial skills, heavily injuring him in a single strike.

CLINK!

Mo Qianqian reached out with his left hand and directly caught the long saber of a Sixth Level of Tongyou Realm expert, forcefully stopping the incoming blade. Furthermore, his palm remained completely unharmed.

"What!" The Sixth Level of Tongyou Realm Elder of the Ling Family was thoroughly shocked. He had caught a weapon bare-handed and was completely fine?

BANG!

After catching the weapon, Mo Qianqian released, clenched, and shifted his hand, directly smashing his fist into the opponent’s chest.

SPURT!

Blood splattered. Blood even shot out from the chest of the Sixth Level of Tongyou Realm old man as Mo Qianqian’s fist caved it in slightly. His entire body was blasted flying backwards. Large mouthfuls of blood sprayed from his mouth as well.

CLANG!

At the same time, Mo Qianqian swept away another person with his spear.

"Righteous Qi Devouring Heaven and Earth! Our generation suppresses the mountains and rivers!"

Because the number of people around him was gradually decreasing, Mo Qianqian, getting a moment to breathe, took the opportunity to unleash the second form of the Vast Spear Technique. He seemed like a completely different person, instantly erupting with an imposing aura that could swallow mountains and rivers, suppress eternity, and subjugate everything. Holding his spear toward the sky with both hands, he charged forward and smashed down heavily on a Seventh Level of Tongyou Realm Elder of the Ling Family.

The Ling Family Elder’s expression changed. He executed the Ling Family’s ultimate skill, the Tai Ling Sword, and met the attack with a strike of his own.

CLANG!

BANG!

Mo Qianqian’s long spear, directly pressing down on the opponent’s sword, smashed into the shoulder of the Seventh Level of Tongyou Realm expert. The strike pulverized his shoulder into a bloody pulp all the way down to his chest. That Seventh Level of Tongyou Realm Elder of the Ling Family died on the spot!

"What!" Patriarch Ling’s expression changed drastically. He looked at Patriarch Lie and the Yu Wen Family Master, immediately shouting, "Patriarch Lie, Yu Wen Family Master, please lend a hand!"

Patriarch Lie and the Yu Wen Family Master furrowed their brows. Was Patriarch Ling forcing them to pick a side? If they interfered, would the imperial family tolerate it? Even though members of the imperial family had already made a move, that was done in the shadows. If they picked a side now, it would be completely out in the open, and there would be no turning back. Once they picked the wrong side, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Ultimately, the two of them remained silent.

Patriarch Ling’s expression hardened. Now that Mo Qianqian had broken through to the Ninth Level of the Second Realm, the balance of power on that side was broken, resulting in heavy casualties. If this continued, all the Ling Family experts would be slaughtered by Mo Qianqian. He immediately looked toward the depths of the Ling Family estate and bellowed, "Please take action, Supreme Elder!!!"

Hearing this, the crowd was shocked. Supreme Elder? The Ling Family still had a Supreme Elder?

SWISH!

At this time, a powerful aura shot into the sky from the depths of the Ling Family estate. Immediately after, a vast aura surged forward from the depths of the estate toward the Martial Arts Arena. A figure flew toward the Ling Family’s Martial Arts Arena at an extremely fast speed.

It was none other than an old man in gray robes who had lost half of his hair. His face was ancient and gaunt, making him look at least a hundred years old. Even more terrifying was the coercive pressure emanating from the gray-robed old man. That terrifying pressure made everyone present feel an immense weight, especially those with weaker cultivation levels, who felt as though they were going to suffocate. It was simply too powerful.

"Void Spirit Realm, the true Void Spirit Realm!" the Yu Wen Family Head exclaimed in great alarm.

"The Ling Family’s previous Patriarch Ren! He is still alive!" an old man among the imperial family members exclaimed in awe.

The Eldest Prince’s expression changed drastically.

"What? Void Spirit Realm? In the Great Xia Dynasty, someone actually took this step and truly reached the Void Spirit Realm?"

"No wonder the Ling Family dared to form a marriage alliance with Tai Xuan Academy. It’s because they had such a trump card!"

"With a Void Spirit Realm expert appearing, who in the Great Xia Dynasty could possibly rival him?"

The crowd gasped in succession.

Li Haoran, who was currently unleashing his power and suppressing the Dean of Tai Xuan Academy in battle, also revealed a look of shock on his face.

"This old thing from the Ling Family is still alive?" Li Haoran exclaimed. To be called an old thing by Li Haoran, one could easily imagine how old he must be.

"Supreme Elder, he killed Qingxue, and he has a supreme treasure on him. I ask the Supreme Elder to kill him first," Patriarch Ling said coldly, pointing directly at Mo Qianqian.

The Ling Family’s Supreme Elder cast his cold and indifferent gaze toward Mo Qianqian. Without saying a word, he moved and dashed straight toward Mo Qianqian.

Mo Qianqian’s expression changed drastically. The Void Spirit Realm First Layer! Even though he was currently at the Ninth Level of the Second Realm, he was absolutely far from being a match for it!

"A Void Spirit Realm expert! Let this old man test just how powerful you are!" A loud shout rang out, and Li Haoran’s body emanated a dense battle intent. He abandoned his attack on the Dean of Tai Xuan Academy and charged toward the Ling Family’s Supreme Elder.

"Vast and Mighty Star Shaking! The Gun God surpasses the past and present!"

Accompanied by his booming shout, a monstrous surge of vast and righteous qi rolled out from Li Haoran’s body. At that exact moment, a phenomenon actually manifested in the surrounding void, as faint phantom images of stars emerged high in the firmament. A terrifying coercion enveloped the heavens and the earth.

At this moment, Li Haoran seemed like a completely different person. He appeared wise and martial, his aura majestic and his battle intent towering. He looked like a War God fighting against the heavens and the earth, gazing proudly across the vast universe, unmatched throughout history.

"The third form! You’ve successfully cultivated the third form!" The Dean of Tai Xuan Academy’s face revealed deep shock.

"An attack phenomenon! That is actually an attack phenomenon!"

"Only an incomparably powerful martial skill can create an attack phenomenon!"

Patriarch Ling, the Yu Wen Family Head, and their group all revealed looks of intense shock. To trigger a phenomenon not by relying on some innate talent, but merely by executing a martial skill—one could only imagine just how incredibly powerful the might of this attack would be.

"The Third Form of the Vast Spear Technique!" Seeing the scene unfold before him, Mo Qianqian was also momentarily stunned.

Was this third form actually this powerful? During this period, he hadn’t focused on cultivating the third form, instead dedicating all his energy to raising his cultivation base. It seemed that if given the chance in the future, he would have to go all out to cultivate this third form. He felt that Li Haoran’s transformation into something akin to a War God carried a truly immense imposing might.

Seeing this, the expression of the Ling Family’s Supreme Elder also changed. Snorting coldly, he shifted his body and charged head-on toward Li Haoran.

BOOM!

With a sweep of his long spear, Li Haoran moved like a War God obliterating an army. As if intending to level everything in his path, he swept his terrifying strike toward the Ling Family’s Supreme Elder. Possessing superior speed, the Ling Family’s Supreme Elder closed the distance in an instant and punched the shaft of the long spear.

BOOM!

A massive collision resounded as vast surges of qi blasted outward. Everyone watched as the body of the Ling Family’s Supreme Elder was sent flying far into the distance by the impact.

"..." The crowd stood frozen on the spot, every single one of them dumbfounded.

A Void Spirit Realm expert. It was the first time a Void Spirit Realm expert had ever appeared in the entire Great Xia Dynasty. And yet, he had been sent flying by a single sweep of the spear from Li Haoran, who was merely in the Quasi-Space Spirit Realm?
