Chapter 62

Second update! Wishing everyone a happy winter break! Seeking support! Need all kinds of support!

Lin Qing smiled and said, "Please, Master, lead the Emei Sect forward. I will stay behind to hold off the enemy. I will surely destroy the Mingjiao army in one fell swoop. Just watch the show!"

He spoke with determination, and although the others were highly suspicious, they had no choice but to follow his instructions.

Li Meilin and Yanran continued to lead the group, following the map Lin Qing had provided. Since the path ahead had been trodden by Lin Qing and his companions a few days earlier, most of the traps had been neutralized, making the journey smooth. The speed of the six major sects' advance greatly increased.

Lin Qing remained alone.

The worried gazes of Li Meilin, Yanran, and Zhou Zhiruo caused Lin Qing's male hormones to surge. What could be more stimulating than the concern and affection of beautiful women?

At this moment, he wore the Emei Sect's [Black Iron Ring], held the divine weapon [Heavenly Sword], and carried the [Nine Yang Manual] (Level 7) and the hidden [Tianying Sect Headquarters] map. He was indeed equipped with extraordinary treasures, but...

However, they were of no use.

He couldn't use any of these treasures.

He was still the same Lin Qing, with 6 points in muscle, 4 points in reflexes, 4 points in constitution, and 1 point in charm—a mere level 5 warrior!

Any Mingjiao disciple could make him kneel in a moment.

But Lin Qing still stood there, firm as a pine tree.

When heavy snow presses on the green pine, the green pine stands tall and straight.

Four minutes later, a large group of Mingjiao disciples rushed over.

Then, they saw Lin Qing.

Lin Qing stood at the entrance of a very narrow passage, a position where one man could hold off ten thousand.

The Mingjiao disciples surrounded him.

Zhang Wuji walked at the forefront of the Mingjiao disciples.

It was clear that due to his outstanding performance in the annihilation of the six major sects and the粽子 (zongzi, a metaphor for a powerful enemy), his reputation and status in the Mingjiao had risen. Although he had lost the opportunity to unify the Mingjiao in the plot, with time, under Xie Xun's guidance and Yin Tianzheng's support, he still had the potential to become the leader of the Mingjiao.

This was the protagonist of the plot!

No matter how much you hit him, he could recover and become even stronger.

Zhang Wuji, in the current Mingjiao battle formation, was an invincible MT (main tank)!

Upon hearing the report, Yang Xiao, Bai Mei Yingwang, Qingyi Fuwang, and others rushed over, staring at Lin Qing.

The Hong Bang members also arrived.

To them, Lin Qing seemed utterly foolish.

Since he had escaped, why was he still standing there like one of the five heroes of Langya Mountain?

Who did he think he was?

Ye Liangchen? Zhao Ritian?

The surgeon stared at Lin Qing for a long time before sighing, "I can't understand who you are or what you're thinking. Why do you dare to stand here? What is your trump card?"

KG sneered, "I'm sure, if he doesn't have a nuclear bomb, he's dead. Even if he does, the space won't let him use it! Hehe."

Yang Xiao, furious, stared at Lin Qing and shouted, "Seize him!"

Bai Mei Yingwang roared, "Give me back my son's life!"

He leaped forward.

Qingyi Fuwang's eyes glinted, moving rapidly.

Lin Qing sighed, "You're too impatient. I have a lot to say, but it looks like there's no time. Let's start! The grand party I've prepared for you!"

He suddenly pulled out something from his chest!

The surgeon, Ganglao, KG, and others saw it clearly!

What was this thing, this divine artifact?

Could it reverse the tide?

It wasn't a divine artifact!

It wasn't a blue item!

To be precise, it wasn't even an item, just a plain prop!

In the plot, it could only be used once and couldn't be taken out of this world—a plain prop!

And, most ironically, this plain prop actually belonged to them!

It was the firework they had given to the guard captain as a warning signal...

A simple firework, the kind that could be bought for a few silver coins in the world of Heaven's Sword.

But this single firework made the Mingjiao disciples stop in their tracks, confused.

Lin Qing held it in his hand, calm and mocking, as if he held a nuclear bomb.

The surgeon, Ganglao, KG, Hook, Sandal, Iron Rod, and Bayonet—seven people—were completely baffled.

Zhang Wuji said in a deep voice, "Song Qingshu, you have committed many sins. Surrender now, and I will spare your life."

Lin Qing smiled wickedly, "Brother Zhang Wuji, your protagonist aura is mine! Your martial arts are mine! Your woman, Zhou Zhiruo, is already mine!"

He showed the ring in his hand and laughed evilly, "Do you know that I am now the leader of the Emei Sect, and Zhou Zhiruo is my disciple! Imagine, the Emei Sect leader needs a beautiful disciple to serve him tonight, and I think she is the most suitable."

Zhang Wuji was so angry that he lunged at Lin Qing.

Lin Qing was truly infuriating.

Lin Qing's response was to gently pull the firework.

The front of the firework shot out a flame.

This firework had no killing power; even if it hit someone, it would cause only minor damage.

But it was very far.

Yes, the function of the firework was to shoot a flame a hundred meters high, and in this secret passage, it could shoot a hundred meters.

Then.

Nothing happened.

The surgeon and the seven others burst into laughter. Even the Mingjiao disciples couldn't help but laugh.

"Do you think this thing can ignite something? Light up your victory? You can die now," KG said with a grin, pulling out an AK47 and aiming it at Lin Qing's head. With three shots, he had a 99% chance of blowing Lin Qing's head off.

The surgeon took out a gun with dum-dum bullets, ready to give Lin Qing a lesson he would never forget.

Bai Mei Yingwang, Qingyi Fuwang, and Yang Xiao activated.

The Five Scattered Men activated.

Zhang Wuji activated.

Zhang Wuji's eyes were fixed on Lin Qing.

He wanted to kill Lin Qing, this shameless Song Qingshu who coveted his secret love, Zhou Zhiruo!

He firmly believed that he was the only true soulmate for Zhou Zhiruo.

But at that moment, a deafening explosion shook the earth!

A flame shot into the sky.

The massive explosion threw everyone off balance, not just the Mingjiao disciples nearby but even the six major sects two miles away could hear it clearly.

A powerful shockwave instantly knocked down the Mingjiao experts who were charging forward.

Lin Qing's firework had targeted a... jar they were about to rush past.

On top of the jar was a climbing rope treated with saltpeter, a fuse.

This firework was the perfect tool to ignite the fuse.

The only outcome of igniting the fuse at close range was to be blown apart like the Mingjiao experts.

But Lin Qing could stand safely a hundred meters away, watching the Mingjiao experts fly into the air!

He turned and ran, surprisingly fast.

"Damn, I didn't expect my cool move to actually work!" Lin Qing thought to himself, "I just aimed at the fuse a hundred meters away. If it didn't work, I would have had to risk igniting the fuse next to me. But, lucky me!"

Indeed, this was Lin Qing's plan.

He spent three days connecting the explosives originally set by Cheng Kun, which were about ten thousand meters long and had 67 explosive points, into a single system.

Even more ingeniously, this plan might have been discovered by the Hong Bang members who had invaded the Bright Peak tunnel.

But because Lin Qing "voluntarily" led them on a three-day tour of the Bright Peak tunnel, they didn't discover this secret.

After the plot ended, they were directly teleported out of the Bright Peak tunnel, losing their last chance to discover Lin Qing's hidden plan!

Thus, at the height of the plot, when the Mingjiao's arrogance was at its peak, Lin Qing activated the terrifying Bright Peak tunnel explosives!

The fuse had been ignited in both directions!

The climbing rope, treated with saltpeter, sizzled and
