Slaying Xu Ming, Collecting Interest!

I see…

Xu Jie looked at Xu Ming, who was bleeding all over, and a smile appeared on his face.

He hadn't listened to Chu Mingyue's advice. Instead, he took a few steps back, deliberately waiting for Xu Ming to stabilize his blood and qi before fighting him!

The purpose of doing this was twofold. First, Xu Jie wanted to shatter Xu Ming's most prized confidence head-on, crushing him with brute force.

If he was going to get revenge, what was the point of simply killing his enemy?

Xu Jie wanted Xu Ming to feel powerless, to suffer, and finally die in despair!

Similarly, this was the absolute confidence that absolute strength gave Xu Jie!

You want to break through to the Pulse Opening Realm?

Fine, let you break through!

You want to use pills to fight desperately?

I'll give you time to prepare!

When you reach what you believe is your strongest, Xu Jie will shatter all of Xu Ming's hopes with a single saber strike!

As for the other reason…

Looking at the expectant and excited glint in Xu Jie's eyes at this moment, one could tell!

He needed a thrilling, bloody battle, the kind where fists land with impact and sabers draw blood!

What meaning was there in killing a weakling or a nobody?

If you're going to kill, kill the strong, kill the geniuses!

Only then can you prove your own might!

As time passed, Xu Ming's Martial Path aura advanced into the middle stage of the Pulse Opening Realm, and his blood and qi finally stabilized.

Half a minute later, Xu Ming, having completely stabilized his blood and qi, said coldly to Xu Jie.

"Xu Jie, you're really asking for death!"

To kill Xu Jie, or rather, to save his own life, Xu Ming had given his all, abandoning his Martial Path cultivation.

He hadn't expected Xu Jie not only to not attack first but to deliberately wait for his blood and qi to stabilize.

In Xu Ming's eyes, this wasn't confidence, but foolishness!

"Just like your deadbeat father who always chased your mother's footsteps but could never even catch up to her heels!"

"!!!"

Mother?

In Xu Jie's memory, there were no fragments related to his mother. Hearing Xu Ming say this now, it seemed…

Did Xu Ming know who his mother was?

Seeing Xu Jie's expression change for the first time, Xu Ming immediately became even more arrogant. He laughed heartily.

"Xu Jie, do you want to know about your mother? Kneel down and beg me now, and I'll tell you! How your mother died, though even if you know, you won't be able to change anything, hahaha!"

"…"

Xu Jie's forehead veins bulged. He stared coldly at the utterly arrogant Xu Ming in front of him, not saying a word.

His father had never mentioned these things to him. It seemed that ever since he could remember, there had been no images of his mother.

After a long while, Xu Ming seemed to have tired himself out from laughing. He shook his head and mocked meaningfully.

"Xu Jie, you should feel lucky! Now that you're dying by my hand, I can at least give you a quick end. If you wait for Young Master Jiang to arrive, hehe, it'll be hard for you to even die!"

Young Master Jiang?

Xu Shishi's fiancé?

Xu Jie frowned, looking unconcerned.

However, Chu Mingyue, who was sitting on the platform, and the school leaders, heard Xu Ming's words, and their expressions all changed instantly.

It was as if the Young Master Jiang that Xu Ming mentioned was a terrifying figure not to be provoked.

However, at this moment, Xu Jie was more concerned about information regarding his mother.

"Die!"

Suddenly, while Xu Jie was lost in thought, Xu Ming attacked.

He knew his time was limited. Seeing an opening in Xu Jie, he resolutely held his saber, unleashed all his blood and qi, transformed into an afterimage, and with an unstoppable might, charged towards Xu Jie filled with killing intent.

The next moment, a sky-piercing firelight appeared on the stage!

The scorching air current swept across the entire venue, directly affecting the surrounding environment.

The surrounding students couldn't even see what had happened. In the blink of an eye, only Xu Jie, standing with his saber sheathed, remained on the stage.

As for Xu Ming…

He had already disappeared!

[Successfully killed Xu Ming (qualification multiplier: 3), plundered 260 years of usable lifespan!]

After a period of silence, the many instructors on the instructor's platform stood up one by one, their expressions filled with disbelief.

What was that just now... the Demon Subduing Flame Blade?

How could it be so powerful!

With a single strike, flames engulfed the arena, killing Xu Ming, who had consumed the Blood Burst Pill, with one slash, his body burning to ashes!

It should be known that the Demon Subduing Flame Blade is merely a Profound-grade martial skill. Although its name contains the character for "flame," it cannot cultivate true qi and blood flames!

Only martial skills of Earth-grade or higher have the potential to allow a martial artist to simulate elemental attacks through their powerful qi and blood.

Therefore, the scene just now deeply shocked all the instructors and school leaders.

The most shocked among them was Chu Mingyue, who had taught Xu Jie the Profound-grade Saber Technique!

Because...

Chu Mingyue had also cultivated this saber technique, and she... hadn't even cultivated it to the perfected stage yet.

Let alone being able to use qi and blood power to unleash a terrifying elemental attack like Xu Jie!

However, Chu Mingyue could confirm that the move Xu Jie used to kill Xu Ming was definitely the Demon Subduing Flame Blade.

She just didn't know why it could be so incredibly powerful!

At this moment, Chu Mingyue's interest in Xu Jie reached an unprecedented peak.

She quietly left the instructor's platform, her figure disappearing on the training ground.

On the stage.

Xu Jie let out a dissatisfied cold snort, his brows furrowed.

He let Xu Ming off too easily!

He hadn't expected the profound meaning of the Demon Subduing Flame Blade to be so terrifying!

Yes, Xu Jie had originally intended to defeat Xu Ming, crush his hopes, and then torture him to death like he had done to Xu Shishi, to avenge his father.

Incidentally, Xu Jie also wanted to force information about his mother out of Xu Ming!

As a result...

The profound meaning of the Demon Subduing Flame Blade, Dark Devour, was outrageously powerful.

It had killed Xu Jie, who had been temporarily boosted to the middle stage of the Pulse Opening Realm, with a single strike, which Xu Jie found very regrettable.

Forget it...

After killing Xu Ming, Xu Jie had collected a portion of the interest for avenging his father's death.

He still had many things to do next.

For example, he currently had nearly five hundred years of usable lifespan saved up, and an additional lottery draw.

With Xu Jie's desperado personality, he would naturally spend any usable lifespan he acquired immediately, never saving it for later.

Unless it was impossible to spend!

Thus, Xu Jie, with a furrowed brow, turned and left without any hesitation, departing the training ground stage under the silent gaze of countless people.

After Xu Jie's figure disappeared, the students in the audience breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The pressure Xu Jie had exerted on them earlier was too immense!

When Xu Jie was present, they subconsciously dared not speak, fearing they might attract his attention.

Now that Xu Jie had left and they were sure he couldn't hear, this group of students began to whisper and discuss animatedly.
