#163 - Chapter 163: Bet

It has to be said that, in some ways, the Fourth Prince is truly a model of a simp. Even at this point, he's only scolding Lin Changqing, not uttering a single harsh word to the Chu Princess.

"I'm going to kill you! Lin Changqing, I'll kill you! How dare you, an ant-like thing, treat me like this?" The Fourth Prince roared, and a shocking spiritual pressure emanated from his projection. The Fourth Prince was actually making a direct move.

The Fourth Prince's phantom condensed into a great sun, and within the great sun was a three-legged golden crow. As it descended, the entire Yin Tomb seemed to be illuminated. This was the inheritance the Fourth Prince had obtained from the Great Sun Immortal Venerable.

The Great Sun Immortal Venerable was a legendary figure from the ancient era, a supreme powerhouse even among immortals.

Legend has it that this Immortal Venerable obtained a wisp of true fire intent from the three-legged golden crow of the Demon Emperor Dijun from the primordial era. Some of his spells were related to the three-legged golden crow.

At this moment, the Great Sun Three-Legged Golden Crow that the Fourth Prince unleashed was a inherited move from the Great Sun Immortal Scripture.

"Great Sun Immortal Venerable? Bullshit! What three-legged golden crow? It's just a three-legged pheasant." With a sneer, Lin Changqing directly communicated with the wooden runes on his bones. He directly used the Heavenly Wood Dao Bone divine power to fight the enemy, as wood, in some ways, counters fire.

A cyan giant appeared before him. The moment the cyan giant appeared, the trees in the Yin Tomb grew wildly, instantly extinguishing the Great Sun fire summoned by the Fourth Prince. In the end, these trees condensed into a giant treant, directly obliterating the three-legged golden crow summoned by the Fourth Prince with a single move.

"The Great Sun Immortal Venerable is nothing more than this. How dare a piece of garbage call himself an Immortal Venerable?" Lin Changqing said coldly.

After being defeated, the Fourth Prince on the other side calmed down a bit. He looked at Lin Changqing coldly and said, "I am merely a projection right now. My strength isn't even one percent of my true self. What's so arrogant about you defeating my projection!? If my true body descends, I will kill myself if I don't kill you in three moves."

"Haha! What boasting! It's true that you're a projection, but you're at the tenth level of the Nascent Soul stage, while I'm only at the fifth level. There's a difference of five realms between us. Are you using the excuse that your true body hasn't descended? If I reach the tenth level of the Nascent Soul stage one day, I'll kill you like slaughtering a dog. I'll return the same words to you. If we're at the same realm, and I don't kill you in three moves, I'll also commit suicide." Lin Changqing replied indifferently, causing the Fourth Prince to be speechless.

Indeed, he said that he was a projection and his true body hadn't descended, so he couldn't display his original strength. But similarly, Lin Changqing was only at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage, with a difference of six minor realms.

To some extent, this could be considered a fair battle. Your projection couldn't display the strength of your true body, and similarly, Lin Changqing was only at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage, with a difference in realms.

"Oh, right, the Dao Bone Flower you sent was indeed quite good. I just used the Heavenly Wood Dao Bone to defeat your three-legged golden crow." Lin Changqing sneered, not forgetting to stab the Fourth Prince again at this time.

As expected, upon hearing these words, the Fourth Prince became even more furious.

"You, you, you…" The Fourth Prince's heart was bleeding. These words were too piercing to his heart. Using the thing he sent to beat him, and most importantly, he didn't dare to think about what deep relationship the Chu Princess and Lin Changqing had.

The Chu Princess actually gave such a precious thing to Lin Changqing.

What exactly is going on between these two people?

The Fourth Prince didn't dare to think too deeply!

You must know that he hadn't even held the Chu Princess's hand, and she was his fiancée.

If… thinking of that terrifying idea, the Fourth Prince felt a sense of frustration and resentment at this moment. He couldn't wait for his true body to descend and completely kill Lin Changqing.

[Following this, the Fourth Prince said some more arrogant words, saying that if you dared to go to First City, his true body would kill you. You were too lazy to listen to these nonsense and prepared to completely destroy the Fourth Prince's phantom and then take the Bronze Ancient Horse and leave. However, just before you destroyed the Fourth Prince's projection, the Fourth Prince said this to you.]

"Lin Changqing, you have successfully angered me. How about we make a ring duel agreement? You come to First City and have a life-and-death battle with me," the Fourth Prince said. "I guess you and the Chu Princess have joined forces today to recklessly assassinate my subordinates, and you've already prepared to betray the Wu Kingdom and flee to the Chu Kingdom, right?"

"In that case, let's make a ring duel agreement. You come to First City and have a ring life-and-death battle with me. If you win, I swear on my life soul that the Wu Kingdom will not invade the Chu Kingdom within ten years. Otherwise, if you don't dare to come to First City, the Wu Kingdom will send out a million troops to destroy your Chu Kingdom in an instant!"

Speaking of this, the Fourth Prince seemed to have returned to that cold and domineering prodigy. He looked coldly at Lin Changqing and the Chu Princess beside him: "Don't doubt that I'm lying. Also, Yue'er, you will regret today's decision. I've already seen what you're thinking. You want to recruit him to be used by your Chu Kingdom to resist the Wu Kingdom. You're wrong. You'll never know how strong the Wu Kingdom is. You will regret it. I will let you know that this Lin Changqing is just a useless person. He can't support your Chu Kingdom at all. The Wu Kingdom can destroy you whenever we want. This useless Lin Changqing can't help your Chu Kingdom."

"What boasting?" The Chu Princess sneered. "Your Wu Kingdom is strong, but it's not so strong that you can destroy my Chu Kingdom whenever you want. Otherwise, you would have come long ago. Don't say that you haven't destroyed my Chu Kingdom now because your Wu Kingdom is benevolent."

Hearing these words, the Fourth Prince didn't say anything. He still stared coldly at Lin Changqing: "If you're a man, agree to my bet. If you win, the Chu Kingdom will not have any military disasters within ten years. Also, have you heard of the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art in First City? To enter the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art secret realm, you must have a token. If you defeat me, I will give you the token to enter the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art secret realm."

Lin Changqing narrowed his eyes. Actually, even without the Fourth Prince's bet, his original plan was to use the bronze fruit to break through to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, and then enter the first level and compete with the Fourth Prince for the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art.

Now it seems that the Fourth Prince wants to have a ring competition with him in First City, so he must have some reliance.

But he was not afraid. He had the confidence to win everything. In addition, from another perspective.

The two conditions given by the Fourth Prince were indeed what he wanted. One was that the Wu Kingdom would not invade the Chu Kingdom within ten years.

He did need time to grow while staying in the Chu Kingdom. On the other hand, the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art token that the Fourth Prince mentioned was also what he needed.

Thinking like this, Lin Changqing opened his mouth: "Okay, I agree. Since you're in such a hurry to die, then let's meet on the ring in First City."

"Good!" The Fourth Prince replied, "I look forward to your arrival. Also…"

Saying this, the Fourth Prince looked at the Chu Princess beside him: "Yue'er, I will let you see who is the strongest person. You were wrong to choose him. I am the strongest person in this world."

After saying these words, the Fourth Prince automatically destroyed his projection.

"Be careful that the Fourth Prince is tricking you. He knows that after you swallow the fruit on the bronze tree, you will reach the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage. This strength is enough to fight him and defeat him, but he still dares to set up a ring and have a life-and-death battle with you. Maybe he will have some trump cards at that time," the Chu Princess said to Lin Changqing worriedly.
