Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

Li Changsheng returned to the Qin Prince's entourage.

No one dared to underestimate him in the slightest because of his defeat.

The methods Li Longjing just displayed were enough to make the onlookers' hearts pound with fear.

Even a powerful being at the Free and Unfettered Realm would likely find it difficult to remain unmoved by Li Changsheng's flying daggers.

Li Longjing did it.

With his powerful physique, he withstood the relentless attacks of dozens of throwing knives.

Li Changsheng was defeated because he lacked true energy.

How could they possibly underestimate Li Changsheng because of this?

Putting aside Li Changsheng's previous feats, he single-handedly defeated four Grandmasters in succession.

It also contains top-tier masters like Mad Dog Taoist and Du Boren.

Even when facing Li Longjing, everyone could only marvel inwardly.

Unexpectedly, this grandson of the Great Zhou Dynasty actually cultivated such an extraordinary technique.

With only five levels of advancement, one can ignore the moves of a Grandmaster.

His skill might be comparable to a top-grade divine skill.

The fifth stage is Grandmaster, the sixth is Free Spirit, the seventh is Great Free Spirit, and the eighth is Half-Step Supreme.

If one successfully cultivates to the ninth stage, wouldn't that allow one to reach the legendary Supreme Realm?

Eldest son and grandson.

Thinking of Li Longjing's identity, everyone couldn't help but nod secretly.

It's no wonder there are rumors that the eldest grandson of the emperor, Li Longjing, is the strongest genius in the royal family.

Even if he doesn't inherit the throne, he might still become the Grand Elder of the Royal Elders' Council.

The Grand Elder, in terms of status alone, is no lower than the Emperor of the Great Zhou.

"Nephew! We only have this one candidate left, while you have four. Don't cower, send up the second Grandmaster!"

Although it's currently 4:1.

From the perspective of sheer numbers, the Qin Prince's Mansion still holds an overwhelming advantage.

But after witnessing Li Longjing's strength, probably no one would think that way.

Having comprehended the essence of swordsmanship, Li Changsheng was already nearly invincible within the Grandmaster realm.

Even Li Changsheng's 27 flying knives couldn't harm Li Longjing in the slightest.

Could the Prince of Qin's mansion possibly find another Li Changsheng?

If possible, given Li Changsheng's peak condition, they still have a chance of winning.

But if they can't find it, they're likely doomed to lose today's standoff.

"Master Wuchen, the second round is yours!"

Li Changqing had to change his original plan; to find Li Longjing's weakness, he had to increase the intensity of his attacks.

"Yes, sir."

A bald-headed monk, carrying a string of beads, leaps into the air.

He was like a mountain, suddenly falling from the sky, shouting as he fell.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

He spoke politely, but showed no mercy in his actions. He swung the fist-sized bead around and smashed it down hard.

These beads are made of steel and are extremely heavy.

Even a powerful grandmaster, if hit by such a weapon, would be severely injured, if not killed.

Despite the terrifying attack, Li Longjing remained remarkably calm.

He neither dodged nor evaded. But he also didn't try to take the hit head-on like before.

He raised his arm and blocked upwards.

"boom!"

The steel beads struck the arm, generating a huge shockwave.

Many people on the field couldn't help but want to step back and cover their ears.

It’s amazing!

Wuchen was known for his strength, but at this moment he not only failed to gain the slightest advantage in terms of strength.

Instead, they were outmaneuvered by the other party.

"You bald monk, you do have some strength."

Li Longjing's voice was hoarse, and he showed no mercy. He grabbed the Buddhist prayer beads and was about to bring the person in front of him.

Once Wuchen gets close, he will not hesitate to deliver a punch.

Previously, Li Longjing would not have let Li Changsheng off easily if it weren't for his relationship with Li Changqing.

After all, he was Li Changqing's adopted brother. If something were to happen to him here, it could lead to a fight to the death.

But a subordinate bodyguard doesn't have so many rules.

"My life is over!"

Master Wuchen also noticed this; his Buddhist beads had clearly enraged the Crown Prince.

At this point, they even wanted to kill him.

However, just as Li Longjing was about to strike hard, he suddenly heard a light, airy sentence.

"If anyone dies today, I will be unhappy."

The voice was very soft, yet every word reached his ears.

Li Longjing was very familiar with that voice.

After all, he had been in a standoff with his father for so long.

He kept calling me "Uncle" and "Nephew."

How could he not tell the difference?

"Transforming Qi into threads, transmitting sound over a thousand miles! The Realm of Freedom!!!"

Li Longjing's eyes were filled with disbelief.

He was six years older than Li Changqing, but he never expected that the other party's strength was actually above his.

"snort!"

Although he was displeased, Li Longjing ultimately did not kill him, but instead flung the man away.

"Next!"

The throwing knife couldn't break through his defenses, and he defeated Master Wuchen in one move.

Li Longjing's performance was even better than Li Changsheng's just now.

More importantly, he was threatened by Li Changqing and realized that some of his peers in the royal family were far more powerful than him.

He remained completely unmoved.

Not only did he not lose his resolve, but he also kept in mind his current responsibilities.

This made Li Changqing admire it.

Although in theory they are enemies.

This was not only determined by the positions of the Crown Prince and the Prince of Qin, but also related to Li Changqing's past experiences.

He was switched at birth, and all the clues pointed to the Crown Prince's residence.

Li Changqing also planned to seek revenge at the Crown Prince's residence if the opportunity arose.

No concrete evidence is needed; as long as he is convinced that the Crown Prince did it, that's enough.

Li Changqing wouldn't care about blood ties.

However, after meeting Li Zheng, Li Changqing's thoughts wavered.

If the Crown Prince really did it, could he have kept it from the Emperor of Great Zhou and the Dragon Guard?

That would be very difficult.

Chen Changfeng didn't reveal many clues, but the Emperor of Great Zhou quickly confirmed that Chen Changfeng was Li Changqing's alias.

If the Crown Prince really did it, it's highly likely that he couldn't hide it from Li Zheng.

Li Zheng was fully aware of Li Changqing's situation.

He is the hope of the royal family!

Moreover, without the Sun and Moon Wheel, Li Changqing had already died...

If the Crown Prince wasn't behind it, then Li Changqing still admired Li Longjing.

After all, in addition to being the Prince of Qinghe, Li Changqing was also the Fourth Elder of the Great Zhou royal family.

It is his duty to provide assistance to promising members of the royal family.

Li Longjing is undoubtedly a promising young talent worthy of being nurtured.

"Azure Dragon!"

After Master Wuchen, Qinglong takes the stage.

Qinglong was a top assassin in the assassin organization Assassin Camp. He was later captured by Li Changqing and joined his Dark Guard Camp along with Hong Fu Nu.

His strength is enough to place him among the top five Grandmasters under Li Changqing.
