Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily-Chapter 197 - 195: King Slayer

The sword form was broken, but Cao Long was not entirely powerless to resist, as his inner Qi cultivation was still intact.

With a roar, he slashed out a vast sword Qi, directly shattering the Wind Dragon, but Song Changming’s blade followed closely.

The giant force crushed down, not only breaking Cao Long’s vast sword Qi but also suffocating him, causing his legs to buckle and kneel before Song Changming.

A loud crack echoed as his knees hit the ground.

"Ah!!"

Cao Long held the sword with both hands, struggling to support himself under the heavy Dragon Pattern Saber.

"Impressive strength." Song Changming said this as the Dragon Pattern Saber pressed down, embedding directly into Cao Long’s shoulder bone.

Blood and flesh splattered.

"No!" Cao Long, exerting too much force, his eyes filled with blood, seemed to sense something and looked at Song Changming with terror.

Under the night sky, he couldn’t clearly see Song Changming’s face.

He only heard the scraping sound of the blade, sparks flying as it slashed across his neck.

With a horizontal cut, Cao Long’s head flew off, landing near Lord Tian and Huali.

"Weaker than I imagined..." casually flicking off the blood from the blade, Song Changming murmured to himself.

Just like when he defeated Guan Weijing, who was also ranked high on the Earth List.

These Earth List experts all seemed to be no match for him.

With overwhelming force, no one could resist the Dragon Pattern Saber in his hand!

This realization became even more apparent after slaying the Ba Dao Cao Long.

So I am this strong!

Or perhaps after breaking through to the Extreme Realm in body refinement, reaching this level of strength, he could display such formidable combat power!

Earth List thirty-three, nothing more than this!

Song Changming couldn’t help but look toward the other two Earth List martial artists.

To know his true strength, he needed formidable opponents as a benchmark.

The Ba Dao Cao Long wasn’t strong enough, just like Guan Weijing—too easily defeated to gauge his true power.

He needed stronger martial artists as opponents.

On ordinary days, finding an Earth List martial artist within the entire Da Han Dynasty was time-consuming and laborious.

Such occasions where so many Earth List martial artists gathered were rare.

As Song Changming looked on, Lord Tian, although his face didn’t change, was on high alert internally.

Not far away, Huali looked terrified, cold sweat dripping.

Song Changming’s powerful execution of Cao Long had far exceeded their expectations.

They thought he was just a young Jianghu person easily handled, but didn’t expect him to be a cunning wolf in sheep’s clothing!

How could someone who easily killed Cao Long be ranked at the bottom of the Earth List!

"Truly screwed by Zhuji Pavilion..." Huali complained to himself, quickly making a decision in his heart.

"Um, I don’t want the thing anymore. Second Prince, if you want to kill, go ahead. I’m leaving, don’t worry about me."

With that, Huali flew away without hesitation.

If it were just Lord Tian and Cao Long, even if they teamed up, he would have considered fighting and wouldn’t be too afraid.

Only from Song Changming did he sense a deadly threat, thus he decisively abandoned the treasure to escape this mire of the Prince’s Mansion first.

His body technique was ghostly, disappearing in a blink of an eye.

Song Changming didn’t stop him, just looked at the Zhanqing Saber.

Lord Tian’s face was unreadable, devoid of any emotional waves. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Truly living up to the Zhanqing Saber.

Just as Song Changming thought this Zhanqing Saber could be worth a fight, Lord Tian silently turned and ran away without a word.

It must be said, these Earth List martial artists really cherished their lives.

Sensing things getting bad, they decisively retreated, everyone smart, without needing much hesitation about fleeing.

Seems like Song Changming’s slaying of Cao Long was indeed killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.

"Forget it." Song Changming didn’t insist, his fighting spirit quickly cooled.

He sheathed his long sword, grabbed the ropes binding the treasure boxes with both hands, and quickly left with them.

Outside the Prince’s Mansion, somewhere.

"Brother Song!" Song Ping’an, responsible for receiving, breathed a sigh of relief seeing Song Changming emerge, quickly approaching.

Song Changming handed the boxes containing treasures to Song Ping’an, instructing him to keep them safe.

"Brother Song, are you going back?" Seeing the Prince’s Mansion ablaze, Song Ping’an couldn’t help but ask.

"Hmm, there’s still one more thing to do." Song Changming nodded, not saying much, turning to go back.

The so-called last thing was naturally to kill the Second Prince and settle old scores.

Of course, he also wasn’t sure if the Second Prince still lived under the pursuit of those Black Soul Crows now.

No matter the circumstances, he must confirm this matter clearly.

Inside the Prince’s Mansion.

Although Xiao Yanli has sacrificed himself, the assassination team he assembled is still fighting in various corners of the Prince’s Mansion, mostly unaware of this.

Even if they were aware, it would not affect their determination to kill the Second Prince.

They were only loosely cooperating in a joint venture, Xiao Yanli was not the leader among the powerful Martial Artists, at most he was a central figure.

Now that Xiao Yanli has died suddenly, these Martial Artist powerhouses were already defiant, and now they’re fighting individually.

This has led to rivers of blood flowing everywhere inside the Prince’s Mansion.

Tonight is destined to be a bloody night.

Somewhere in the mansion, a scream echoed.

A Qi Refining Expert failed to dodge and was caught from behind by the iron claws of a Black Soul Crow.

In the next moment, the claws of the Black Soul Crow easily pierced the body of the Qi Refining Expert.

Clouds of scorching mist crazily emitted from the pierced body of the Qi Refining Expert.

The Black Soul Crow also let out a piercing cry, as if announcing this person’s death.

Instantly, the flesh of the Qi Refining Expert rapidly shriveled, and all his Essence Blood was absorbed by the Black Soul Crow.

Blood Qi suffused the air.

The Black Soul Crow gained high-quality Essence Blood, its feathers turned a shiny black, and its figure underwent slight distortions.

Duan Fangshuo, with billowing Fiery Flame Blade Qi, stared at this scene.

Now the mutated Black Soul Crows, were reduced by him to the last three.

But these three Black Soul Crows had devoured Martial Artist Essence Blood along the way, becoming much stronger and more troublesome.

"Take the Second Prince away first!" Duan Fangshuo said sternly.

Behind him were several loyal Qi Refining Experts and a group of imperial Guards, stubbornly protecting the Second Prince.

"Lord Duan, but..." One of the Qi Refining Experts hesitated.

"No buts, you cannot handle these three Extraterritorial Fog Beasts, staying here is just offering your Essence Blood to them. Go, protect the Second Prince!" Duan Fangshuo commanded firmly.

"Fangshuo, don’t leave me, my king..." The Second Prince’s voice trembled slightly.

Back when the four kings fled the Imperial Capital, he was never as panicked as tonight.

Firstly, the night raid was sudden, catching him completely off guard.

Secondly, those Black Soul Crows were indeed terrifying. Without Duan Fangshuo blocking them, he might have already been sucked dry.

The so-called royal bloodline was insignificant to these Fog Beasts, no different from anyone else’s Essence Blood.

"Great King, I will come later," Duan Fangshuo said helplessly.

"Great King, hurry!" Seeing the three Black Soul Crows attacking again, a Qi Refining Expert immediately grabbed the Second Prince and quickly fled.

Leaving Duan Fangshuo alone to face the three Black Soul Crows.

Inner Qi released, a flame pillar shot tens of feet into the sky!

On the ground, Duan Fangshuo wielded the flame pillar, constantly sweeping back and forth against the three Black Soul Crows.

The surrounding palaces, pavilions, and towers were all destroyed by the flame pillar, turned into ruins.

Only the three Black Soul Crows, when hit by the flame pillar, rolled around like balls but didn’t die immediately.

Duan Fangshuo’s Fire Attribute Inner Qi wrapped around him like ribbons.

Even his black hair seemed to be dyed fiery red by his Inner Qi.

Having been by the Second Prince’s side for so many years, he couldn’t remember how long it had been since he last exerted his full strength.

He had almost forgotten that he was once a world-renowned powerhouse listed on the Celestial List!

While he held off the three Black Soul Crows, the Second Prince was being escorted, ready to escape the Prince’s Mansion.

As long as he survives tonight, when the army returns, he will still be the mighty Northern King!

Unfortunately.

The night was long, and too many wanted him dead, making it hard for him to endure.

A gust of wind swept by, and a figure appeared on the mansion’s outer wall, blocking their path.

"Kill!" Noticing the figure was not one of the imperial Mansion Martial Artists, the imperial Guard shouted immediately and brandished their swords.

Like a reflex, the crossbow arrows were shot, targeting the figure standing on the wall.

A gale swept through, clearing away all the arrows.

The figure on the wall remained unharmed.

"No need to search anymore!" Song Changming stared at the securely guarded Second Prince, murmuring lightly.

He hadn’t expected to return to the Prince’s Mansion only to see the Second Prince, clad in the King’s Robe, delivering himself.

And the strongest Duan Fangshuo was not in this group.

He couldn’t miss such an opportunity.
