Killing Two Birds with One Arrow! Capturing Gu Ningxue and Song Yao, Luring Lin Yuan Out-Young Master Liu Hit the Jackpot!

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

Chen Yu stood outside the battle circle. Seeing this, he immediately flew into a rage and cursed.

More than a dozen people were besieging a single woman, yet they were being beaten back by her!

If word got out, would any of them have face left?

Liu Mingxuan's expression was equally unpleasant.

He narrowed his eyes and fixed them on Gu Ningxue's footwork and sword techniques. Deep in his gaze, a trace of barely perceptible wariness flashed.

He had long known that Gu Ningxue was the publicly acknowledged genius of the Capital Martial Arts Academy, possessed of formidable strength.

But he had never expected her to be this strong!

Every one of her seemingly understated sword strikes contained an immensely profound Sword Intent, always shattering the enemy's strongest offensive with the smallest possible cost!

"Form the array!"

Liu Mingxuan finally barked coldly, issuing a new command!

"Use the Liu Family's Four Symbols Lock Heaven Array to trap her! Don't let her keep darting around!"

Upon hearing the order, the dozen or so remaining disciples were instantly invigorated and immediately shifted positions with practiced coordination!

Four Liu Family disciples took up positions in the east, south, west, and north, their spiritual power linking together in an instant!

Buzz—! A visible curtain of energy rose from the ground, forming an enormous cage that instantly sealed off every path Gu Ningxue could use to evade.

The disciples from the other families seized the chance to launch even more violent attacks!

"Let's see where you can run this time!"

Seeing this, Chen Yu's face twisted into a savage grin once more.

Gu Ningxue's brows finally drew together slightly.

With the space restricted, the footwork she took pride in had been reduced to nearly nothing.

Facing the attacks crashing in from all directions at once, she Took a Deep Breath and poured every last bit of spiritual power in her body into the longsword in her hand!

"Freeze Three Feet!"

With a clear shout, she violently drove her longsword into the ground.

Crack! Crack! Crack! An uttermost chill erupted from her body without warning!

Visible frost, like venomous snakes come alive, spread madly across the ground in every direction!

The temperature throughout the array space plummeted in an instant.

The aristocratic disciples charging at the front only felt bone-piercing cold invade their bodies, and their movements immediately became sluggish and stiff!

Yet at the very instant her old strength was exhausted and new strength had yet to arise!

A sinister blade flash, like a venomous snake that had lurked for ages, tore through the freezing air and silently slashed toward the back of her neck!

It was a Chen Family disciple who had remained hidden in the crowd and had not made a move until now!

He had been waiting precisely for this fatal opportunity!

This strike was swift and ruthless!

Alarm bells blared in Gu Ningxue's heart. She wanted to turn and defend, but it was already too late!

At this critical moment!

Whoosh—!!! A shrill sound of something tearing through the air suddenly rang out from deep within the bamboo forest.

A bewitching streak of purple light was faster and fiercer than the sneak attack's blade flash.

Though launched later, it arrived first, carrying a brutal and tyrannical force as it viciously lashed against the attacking short blade!

"Clang!" A crisp ring echoed out!

The Chen Family disciple felt an irresistible force slam into him. In an instant, the web of his hand split open, and the short blade in his grip was whipped straight out of his hand!

His whole body was sent flying seven or eight meters by that domineering force, blood spraying wildly from his mouth.

"Who is it?!"

Liu Mingxuan and Chen Yu's expressions changed as they abruptly turned toward the direction from which the streak of light had come.

A figure landed silently.

Her slender, captivating figure, outlined by a tight combat suit, was like an elegant cheetah as she slowly emerged from the bamboo forest's shadows.

The newcomer was none other than Song Yao!

In her hand, she gripped that purple Chain Blade. Its tip still trembled faintly, producing a humming buzz.

"Liu Mingxuan, Chen Yu—more than a dozen men bullying one girl. You two really are something, aren't you?"

A mocking sneer curled at Song Yao's lips.

Her lively eyes brimmed with undisguised contempt.

Seeing that it was her, a complicated glint Flashed through Gu Ningxue's Cool and Aloof eyes, but she still murmured, "Thank you."

"No need," Song Yao said without looking back, though her gaze remained locked on Liu Mingxuan. "I simply find them unpleasant to look at."

"Song Yao?" Chen Yu's face instantly darkened. "This has nothing to do with you. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"

"Meddling in other people's business?" Song Yao seemed to have heard a huge joke. She snorted with laughter. "Every single Point in this Wasteland is my business. Today, I'm determined to interfere!"

"You!"

Chen Yu was left speechless with rage.

"Good. Very good!"

A trace of Avarice and viciousness Flashed through Liu Mingxuan's eyes.

Rather than growing angry, he laughed. "Since the Song Family's eldest young lady is here too, all the better! It saves us the trouble of going to find you!"

"One Gu Ningxue, one Song Yao! The two heavenly daughters of Yan Jing City are both going to fall into our hands today!"

"Take the two of them down! The Points from this hunt alone will be enough for us to stand above the rest! And we can use them to lure out that trash Lin Yuan!"

Liu Mingxuan's voice was filled with excitement.

This was simply an opportunity bestowed by heaven!

Killing two birds with one arrow!

No, this was killing three birds with one stone!

"Brothers, stop going easy on them! Attack together! Take them down!"

Following Liu Mingxuan's command, the aristocratic disciples who had still been somewhat wary were instantly consumed by flames of greed.

That's right!

One was the Gu Family's eldest young lady, and the other was the Song Family's treasured daughter!

Either one represented an ocean of Points and supreme glory!

Now that both had delivered themselves to their doorstep, what was there left to hesitate over?!

"Kill!"

As though pumped full of blood, everyone once again lunged madly at Gu Ningxue and Song Yao!

"Be careful!"

After giving the warning, Gu Ningxue stood back-to-back with Song Yao and faced the enemies once more.

Song Yao's arrival undoubtedly improved the situation greatly.

Gu Ningxue's sword style was light and nimble, precise, responsible for targeted kills and defense.

Song Yao's Chain Blade, meanwhile, swept wide and broad, wild and overbearing, responsible for clearing and suppressing large areas!

One hard, one soft; one still, one moving!

Though it was their first time joining forces, their instincts as peak Prodigies allowed them to cooperate with flawless precision!

For a time, sword light and whip shadows interwove, forcibly holding back the siege of more than a dozen Prodigies!

Within the bamboo forest, the explosive blasts of spiritual power rang without end, while shattered stones and broken bamboo flew everywhere!

However, two fists could not defeat four hands!

No matter how strong the two women were, there were only two of them in the end!

There were simply too many enemies!

And every one of them was an expert in the Marrow Cleansing Realm!

The battle continued for nearly ten minutes.

Gu Ningxue and Song Yao's breathing both began to grow hurried.

Their spiritual power was being drained at an alarming rate in such an intense battle!

"We can't drag this out any longer!" A cold gleam Flashed through Liu Mingxuan's eyes as he signaled Chen Yu with a look. "We'll attack together and end this quickly!"

"Good!"

Chen Yu had long been unable to restrain himself.

The instant the words fell!

"Liefeng Slash!"

Chen Yu roared. Azure light blazed from Windsplitter, the combat blade in his hand, and a terrifying Blade Aura several yards long, carrying a shriek that tore through the air, slashed toward the two women's waists!
