Boom—

An immense black Sword Light blanketed the Firmament. As it descended, the void shuddered again and again.

Countless people below the mountain collapsed beneath that terrifying Sword Light. Even a single glance made them feel as though their souls were fleeing their bodies.

Ye Qiu and Wu Xiaokai stared wide-eyed. That strike was terrifyingly powerful!

Rumble—

As the Sword Light fell, Azure Cloud Peak shook violently. Rock split and burst apart.

The magnificent palaces atop the mountain crumbled into ruins amid the thunderous roar!

Several people rushed out of the palaces. Among them was the Black-Skirted Woman, her face deathly pale!

By then, Chen Qingyun's expression had turned grim beyond measure. He had tried to block it.

But he had failed!

"You dare threaten my disciple?"

"You fucking dare threaten my Li'er?"

Even after bringing down that strike, Nan Qingyue sounded angrier than ever. She landed on the shattered peak.

Then she drew the Black Sword. A dense storm of Sword Light surged toward Chen Qingyun.

His expression changed drastically. He threw a punch, sending a vast fist of light hurtling toward Nan Qingyue like a mountain crossing the sky.

But the moment it met her Sword Light, that mountain of light cracked, disintegrated, then shattered at a horrifying speed.

Whoosh—

Sword Light flashed. Nan Qingyue closed in, gripped the Black Sword, and brought it down toward his head!

"You..." Chen Qingyun roared in fury, but under that terrifying Sword Light, he retreated at full speed before soaring into the Firmament.

Boom—

The strike split the place where he had stood with a dreadful chasm. Even the mountain itself cracked open!

Chen Qingyun stared at the devastation, his face grim and fine beads of sweat dotting his forehead.

This woman had grown even stronger!

She had always been powerful. After all, she was a Sword Cultivator hailed as the Combat Power Ceiling.

But before, he could at least hold his own three times out of ten. Now... he was being crushed outright!

That strike could have cleaved him to death!

"Nan Qingyue, do you and your disciples have any respect left for the Academy? For the Academy Laws?"

Chen Qingyun's roar cracked like thunder. At the same time, he glanced toward the Law Enforcement Hall... Why hadn't they come yet?

Nan Qingyue snorted. "Shut your mouth!"

Then she turned toward Lu Li. "Go kill her!"

Lu Li stepped forward, fixing his gaze on the pale-faced Black-Skirted Woman. She began to tremble.

Run?

There was no escape!

"Teacher..." she cried. Chen Qingyun's expression turned icy. "Nan Qingyue, if you dare—"

Boom—

Before he could finish, Nan Qingyue sent Sword Light slashing into the Firmament, forcing him back again.

Lu Li had already locked onto Wu Lan. She trembled with fear and forced out, "Senior Sister Lu, Ye Qiu killed my brother first. That's why I... Besides, I didn't hurt him..."

"Wait." Lu Li stepped forward, cutting her off. He raised his sword. "I'll kill you first. Then you can talk."

Wu Lan: "..."

As Lu Li continued forward, Killing Intent enveloped her completely. Trembling, she said, "This was all the Ye Family's idea."

Lu Li paid her no heed.

Wu Lan roared, "I'm Zhao Yan's fiancée..."

The Zhao Family was one of Southern State's three great Aristocratic Clans.

A Royal Family!

Boom—

Before she could finish, Lu Li suddenly accelerated and slashed down.

Wu Lan's aura erupted. She hurled every ounce of her cultivation at the Sword Light.

Yet the instant it met that Sword Light, everything burst apart and crumbled to dust!

She couldn't stop it!

She had no chance of stopping it!

Thud—

The Sword Light struck. Wu Lan flew backward, her chest torn open and drenched in blood!

"Fuck, fuck, fuck..." Wu Xiaokai shook uncontrollably with excitement.

But his eyes shone bright!

He knew exactly how fierce Wu Lan was. She had nearly beaten him into a cripple.

Yet against Lu Li, she had no chance to fight back.

In fact, Lu Li's cultivation seemed lower than hers.

Lower cultivation, yet he crushed her with one strike!

What a beast!

He looked at Ye Qiu with renewed admiration.

But after giving him a look, he hurriedly turned back. The real spectacle was up ahead.

Thud—

Lu Li's second strike fell. Already grievously wounded, Wu Lan lost an arm.

Her scream sounded like a demon's howl!

"Enough!" Chen Qingyun saw it from the Firmament and let out a frenzied roar.

"Keep yapping and I'll cut you down!" Nan Qingyue held her ground, leaving Chen Qingyun too afraid to come close.

Thud—

With the third strike, Wu Lan's other arm flew off. More blood spilled, and her screams grew shriller.

Everyone on and below the mountain went cold.

It was too brutal!

But it wasn't over.

Her left leg, then her right. By now, Wu Lan was barely breathing.

"Enough, enough! That's enough!" Madness blazed in Chen Qingyun's eyes, and his voice shook Heaven and earth.

But Nan Qingyue refused to yield an inch. Lu Li kept walking until he stood before Wu Lan, whose limbs were all gone.

"Remember this in your next life. Don't touch him!"

Thud—

His sword fell, severing Wu Lan's head. The blow even split it in two.

Blood sprayed across his white robe, leaving a few red flecks on his delicate face.

But Lu Li sheathed his sword without a change in expression and turned around. Nan Qingyue approached him and asked softly, "Are you still angry?"

Lu Li glanced at Ye Qiu, then nodded. "Very!"

Nan Qingyue paused. Then she spun around and appeared in the Firmament the next instant.

She raised the Black Sword, fixed her gaze on Chen Qingyun, and charged. "I'll cut you down!"

Chen Qingyun: "..."

Boom, boom, boom—

Terrifying Sword Light exploded across the Firmament, one strike after another. Chen Qingyun flew backward in a sorry state, fury boiling within him. He wanted to flee, but Nan Qingyue was faster and cut off his escape with Sealing.

He couldn't even run!

She kept him pinned down and battered him relentlessly!

Blood rained down.

He was in a miserable state!

"Brother Ye, your wife is incredible. And your wife's teacher is even... even more incredible!" Wu Xiaokai said in awe.

Ye Qiu snorted. "Now you know what it means to protect your own?"

The big man was sweating with excitement. "This is fucking thrilling! They're incredible, so strong! Absolute role models!"

Ye Qiu shot him a sidelong glance... Brother, you're still young. You don't understand the finer points!

Boom, boom, boom—

Sword Light tore across the Firmament, strike after immense strike, each exploding with terrifying force.

Amid it came a man's furious roars, then helpless frustration and faint cries of pain.

At last, through his misery, the voice he had longed to hear reached him. "Stop!"

As the voice rang out, a group rushed over, led by a White-Haired Elder.

The elder was tall, his Qi and Blood vigorous. His eyes shone like golden lamps, radiating a terrifying aura.

The Grand Law Enforcer of the Law Enforcement Hall!
