Chaotic Battle

Two identical attacks collided in midair. Everyone heard only a single boom as the air scattered in all directions. Countless blasts of force shattered the walls and even crushed the bridge. The ground split where the attacks met, and the currents of air swept upward before dispersing a hundred meters above.

Willow stared at Lu Yin in surprise. "You can actually use Void Splitting Palm?"

Lu Yin's gaze remained calm. Granny had told him that Willow could use Void Splitting Palm, so he wasn't surprised. What surprised him was that Willow's Void Splitting Palm seemed somewhat weak. Willow's right palm was trembling—that was the consequence of forcibly using Void Splitting Palm.

Bailie was likewise staring at Lu Yin in shock. Void Splitting Palm was not something just anyone could use. This person was no weaker than Willow.

At the same time, atop the steel city wall, Zhang Ding Tian and Bai Xue both looked toward the city. They leaped into the air, their gazes icy.

Killing intent filled Bai Xue's eyes. The disaster caused by a Heavenly Rank Expert fighting inside the city would be enormous. These students completely disregarded the lives of the people on Earth. They had to be killed.

Inside the city, Granny cried out, "Zhang Ding Tian is here. There's also a Probe Realm force beside him."

Lu Yin didn't care. Across from him, Bailie frowned. "Finish this quickly. Zhang Ding Tian is here."

Willow narrowed his eyes. Ring Armor covered his body as he leaped toward Lu Yin. He whipped out a leg, moving so quickly that ordinary people couldn't see the attack at all.

Lu Yin raised his leg and kicked Willow in the calf. The ground split and sank, while waves of air spread outward. Willow growled as astral energy erupted from his body and crushed toward Lu Yin. The earth trembled. He intended to decide the victor through pure astral energy.

Lu Yin sneered. He definitely had less astral energy than Willow, but he absorbed astral energy twice as fast. Even in a battle of attrition, he had nothing to fear.

Granny quickly retreated. She had no intention of enduring the collision of their astral energy.

In the distance, Bailie's gaze turned cold. He charged toward Granny and reached out to grab her.

Granny gritted her teeth and crushed several Flame Crystals. Surging flames blazed across the ground. "Flame Palm!" she shouted. Flames gathered in her palm and struck toward Bailie. Bailie's expression remained cold and arrogant as he continued his motion. With a single palm strike, he dispersed Granny's Flame Palm. The difference was simply too great.

Granny's flames were far too feeble in Bailie's eyes.

Lu Yin watched as Bailie grabbed Granny. He thrust out his right palm, and the air visibly formed a shock wave that blasted toward Bailie. Bailie turned and shattered the Void Splitting Palm with a single punch. "Willow, go!"

Willow laughed loudly as his figure blurred and shot into the distance, his speed rising once more.

Lu Yin snorted and used Roaming Step to charge directly toward Willow. He raised his palm, and stars appeared as his palm struck. Willow's expression changed as an inexplicable sense of danger surged through him. He stared intently at Lu Yin's palm and dodged without hesitation. Unfortunately, Heavenly Star Palm was not so easy to evade. The circulation of stars inherently contained immense suction. Centered on Lu Yin's right palm, everything in the surrounding space was drawn in as though it were a star.

Bailie was shocked. Even he was horrified by Lu Yin's palm strike.

Bang!

With a loud boom, the Void Splitting Palm Willow had unleashed at the final moment was completely shattered. His body was smashed into the ground like a meteor, crushing the broken bridge beneath him once more. A massive crater appeared in the earth. Inside it, Willow spat out a mouthful of blood and stared at Lu Yin in disbelief.

He had never imagined that someone could injure him with a single palm strike. That palm was far too fierce—even his Ring Armor had been shattered.

Granny was stunned. Willow was the strongest person in the academy, yet he had been gravely injured by a single palm strike. It was unbelievable.

"How dare you fight inside the city? You're courting death!" A furious roar came from the distance. Immediately afterward, a sharp slash crossed the sky and descended straight toward Bailie.

Bailie flung Granny aside and dodged himself.

The slash cleaved into the ground, sending countless sharp blasts of force surging outward.

Bailie immediately put on his Ring Armor and stared solemnly at Zhang Ding Tian.

High in the air, Zhang Ding Tian swept his gaze over the scene below. His eyes passed over Bailie and Granny before landing on Lu Yin standing on the ground and Willow, who was clearly injured inside the crater. His heart sank. He had fought Bailie and Willow before, and both of them were extremely strong. Now one had been gravely injured, and an unfamiliar person had appeared. That person was clearly the one who had injured Willow. This person was even stronger.

This was troublesome. Even Zhang Ding Tian had this thought at that moment. More importantly, there were only four people here. Four other Heavenly Rank Experts had yet to show themselves.

Cough, cough.

Willow covered his body and walked out of the crater. He watched Lu Yin warily, then went to Bailie's side. "The situation is unfavorable."

Bailie narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and his expression turned calm. "Not necessarily. It's a three-way battle. Find a way to leave on your own." After saying this, he suddenly charged toward Granny. Before anyone could react, he grabbed Granny and flung her toward Zhang Ding Tian.

Zhang Ding Tian instinctively raised his blade and slashed. Granny was horrified, her face deathly pale.

Lu Yin soared into the air, pushed Granny aside, and struck out with his palm against Zhang Ding Tian's slash. Void Splitting Palm shook the slash as the two collided high in the air. The air twisted. Feeling the immense force of the collision, Lu Yin was forced downward, his feet sinking deeply into the ground. He was shocked. This was Zhang Ding Tian's strength.

After flinging Granny away, Bailie left directly. Willow did the same. One Zhang Ding Tian was already difficult enough to deal with, and with the inexplicable enemy added to the equation, they might be arrogant, but they weren't stupid.

However, they weren't stupid, and neither was Zhang Ding Tian. After giving Granny a slash, he immediately sent another slash toward Bailie. The two attacks came almost without pause. Bailie had only taken a few steps when the slash arrived, forcing him to dodge. His expression turned ugly. "We don't want to fight. Let us leave."

Zhang Ding Tian suddenly charged toward Bailie. "Not a single one of you is leaving!" With that, he raised his blade and slashed. The pressure of the blade at such close range enraged Bailie. "Heavy Fist!" Bailie roared. His right fist clenched, layers of ripples spreading through the air as he punched out.

Boom!

The earth trembled. Heavy Fist was Bailie's battle technique. He had originally thought that this punch would be enough to injure Zhang Ding Tian, but the result horrified him. Not only was Zhang Ding Tian unharmed, he pressed forward even more fiercely and drove Bailie directly into the ground. Waves of air swept in every direction like a tsunami, completely destroying everything within a thousand meters.

Willow had no choice but to attack. Void Splitting Palm blasted toward Zhang Ding Tian.

Zhang Ding Tian swung his blade backhandedly and tore apart the Void Splitting Palm. His long blade swept toward Bailie once more. He was fighting the two of them alone.

Lu Yin had just prepared to attack Willow when solid ice appeared beneath his feet. Not far away, both of Granny's legs had been frozen. Bai Xue stepped out from behind her and stared coldly at Lu Yin. "Don't move recklessly."

Lu Yin looked at Bai Xue, a trace of amazement flashing through his eyes. There was actually such a beautiful woman.

"You're Luo Saint Bai Xue?" Lu Yin guessed.

Bai Xue said coldly, "It seems you extraterrestrial students have investigated quite thoroughly."

Lu Yin replied indifferently, "Zhou Shan told me. She said your beauty was enough for anyone to recognize you at a glance."

Bai Xue's gaze turned icy. "You did something to Zhou Shan?"

Lu Yin was just about to explain when a slash swept across the air. Zhang Ding Tian was trying to drag him into the battle as well. Lu Yin dodged, and from the corner of his eye, he saw Bai Xue freeze Granny completely. He frowned. Using Roaming Step, he appeared beside Granny and grabbed Bai Xue's hand. It was smooth and soft, yet freezing cold. "You want to kill her?"

Bai Xue said coldly, "So what?" As she spoke, an extreme chill radiated from her body.

Lu Yin's expression changed. "A talent? You possess an ice talent."

Bai Xue said nothing. The hand she had clasped tightly with Lu Yin's immediately froze, the ice spreading toward his arm. She intended to freeze both Lu Yin and Granny.

Lu Yin's gaze turned severe. Astral energy erupted from his frozen palm, and the faint circulation of stars could be seen. Stars appeared as his palm struck. The Heavenly Star Palm shattered the solid ice, and with a slight exertion, Lu Yin shook Bai Xue away, sending her flying back more than ten meters.

Bai Xue's arm throbbed with pain, and her heart shook. It was the first time anyone had shattered her solid ice so easily.

Perhaps seeing Bai Xue knocked back, Zhang Ding Tian abandoned Bailie and Willow and slashed at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin grew impatient. He dodged Zhang Ding Tian's slash, took out Zhou Shan's identification card, and tossed it to him. "I'm Zhou Shan's friend, not an extraterrestrial."

Zhang Ding Tian caught the card, surprise in his eyes. "You're an Earthling?"

Lu Yin nodded. He swept his peripheral vision across the scene, and his expression changed. "Not good. Those two are trying to escape. Chase them!" After saying this, he used Roaming Step to pursue Willow, who was closest to him.

Zhang Ding Tian had no time to think further and slashed at Bailie.

Of the few people present, Zhang Ding Tian was clearly the strongest. Even Bailie, a Cross-Realm Expert, had fallen into a disadvantage against him. Although Lu Yin's Heavenly Star Palm was fierce, it still hadn't allowed his combat power to break through to Integrating Realm. First, his own combat power was too low, only a little over a thousand. Second, Heavenly Star Palm had only circulated two stars. If it were three, perhaps it could raise Lu Yin to Cross-Realm strength.

Willow had never been Lu Yin's match to begin with, and he had also been gravely injured in his battle with Zhang Ding Tian. Lu Yin caught him with ease.

Bailie also lost beneath Zhang Ding Tian's endless attacks. He was struck in the chest by a blade and fell.
