The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind!

At the same time!

Liu Mingxuan formed seals with both hands.

His powerful spiritual power at the Qi Sea Realm Fifth Level transformed into invisible waves of mental impact, crashing fiercely toward the two women's minds like a raging tide!

Physical and mental attacks descended at the same time!

"Not good!"

Gu Ningxue and Song Yao's expressions changed drastically!

They could feel Liu Mingxuan's mental assault causing their thoughts to freeze for an instant!

And that one ten-thousandth of a second of vulnerability was fatal!

"Open!"

At the critical moment, Song Yao clenched her silver teeth.

Disregarding everything, she spun the Chain Blade in her hand into a purple whirlwind and met Chen Yu's overwhelmingly domineering Blade Aura head-on!

Meanwhile, Gu Ningxue endured the stabbing pain in her mind and concentrated all her strength into one sword thrust, striking toward Liu Mingxuan!

Boom—!!!

A deafening explosion erupted!

The Chain Blade in Song Yao's hand was blasted from her grasp by the violent force the instant it collided with the Liefeng Slash!

Her entire body seemed to have been struck by an Ancient Beast.

With a muffled groan, she spurted out a bloody arrow. Her delicate body flew backward out of control and smashed hard into a giant bamboo stalk!

Pfft!

On the other side, although Gu Ningxue's sword successfully struck Liu Mingxuan's protective spiritual energy, it only made it tremble slightly.

She herself was shaken by the rebounding force until her blood and qi churned, her face instantly turning deathly pale!

Just one move!

The joint offensive of the two peerless daughters of heaven was shattered in an instant!

And both of them were injured!

"An opportunity!"

"They can't hold on anymore!"

Seeing this, the surrounding Prodigies were like sharks that had scented blood. Cruel light burst from their eyes as they swarmed forward!

Pfft! Pfft!

Caught off guard, Gu Ningxue's shoulder and Song Yao's thigh each gained another wound so deep that bone could be seen!

The two women staggered together, standing back-to-back and gasping heavily. For the first time, a trace of despair appeared in their eyes.

The encirclement slowly tightened.

Liu Mingxuan and Chen Yu stepped forward slowly, smug, cat-toying-with-mice smiles hanging on their faces.

"I told you, you couldn't escape."

Liu Mingxuan adjusted his clothes and looked down at the battered pair, his tone brimming with a victor's delight.

"Ha ha ha! Gu Ningxue, Song Yao! Weren't you both quite capable? Get up and fight again!"

"If we take the two of you in one stroke, our Points will probably shoot straight to the top of the rankings, won't they?"

Chen Yu laughed wildly without end.

His gaze roamed wantonly over their battle garments, stained red with blood.

"Most importantly..." Liu Mingxuan's lips curved into a cold, sinister arc. "With you two as such important bargaining chips, I refuse to believe Lin Yuan, that turtle hiding in its shell, can keep hiding in Black Wind Valley forever!"

"What a marvelous plan to shoot two eagles with one arrow!"

The surrounding children of aristocratic families also gave smug echoes and ferocious sneers.

They watched the two daughters of heaven trapped in the center, like lambs awaiting slaughter.

"Take them down!" Chen Yu waved a hand and issued the final command. "Remember, alive! I want Lin Yuan, that piece of worthless trash, to watch with his own eyes how the women he loves wag their tails and beg for mercy before us!"

However.

Just one second before they moved.

A terrifying aura, colder than winter and more evil than the Abyss, suddenly descended from the sky and shrouded the entire bamboo forest!

"You Worthless Trash think you can lay a hand on her?"

A hoarse voice carrying boundless venom rang beside everyone's ears.

Chen Yu, Liu Mingxuan, and the others changed color drastically and whipped around!

They saw that two figures had appeared not far behind them at some unknown time.

A man and a woman.

The man had a sinister face, his eyes filled with towering hatred.

The woman was enchanting and seductive, yet a sickly cruelty hung at the corners of her lips.

They were Ye Xuan and Li Xuan'er!

"Ye Xuan?!"

"It's you, you piece of worthless trash!"

Once they saw who had come, Chen Yu and Liu Mingxuan were briefly stunned. Then, their faces broke into extremely disdainful, mocking smiles.

The people behind them were also students of the Capital Martial Arts Academy. They had mocked Ye Xuan plenty of times before.

"I wondered who it was. So it's you, a Lost Dog! What, weren't you supposed to be hiding outside? You still dare come here to die?"

"Ha ha ha, perfect! We'll use you to sharpen our blades first, then deal with Lin Yuan!"

They did not take Ye Xuan seriously at all!

In their eyes, a piece of worthless trash whose Dao Heart Shattered and who was wanted by the Alliance could not possibly make any waves, even if he appeared here.

"You're courting death!"

Terrifying Killing Intent instantly erupted from Ye Xuan's eyes!

What he hated most was being called worthless trash, being called a Lost Dog!

Boom—!

A berserk, blood-black spiritual power erupted thunderously from his body!

He shot into the crowd like a cannonball leaving its barrel!

"What?!"

Chen Yu and Liu Mingxuan's smiles froze on their faces instantly!

They could feel it!

That spiritual power was berserk and evil, yet... incomparably powerful!

It was absolutely above the Qi Sea Realm Sixth Level!

"Not good! We underestimated him!"

They wanted to retreat, but it was already too late!

"Aah—!"

Miserable screams rose one after another!

Ye Xuan was like a God of Slaughter returned from hell.

With every move, a Prodigy was torn to pieces by his bizarre blood-colored claw light!

Li Xuan'er also transformed into a pink phantom. Every time she flickered, a male disciple would stare blankly amid her seductive smile as she drained him dry of his vital essence!

Was this even a battle?

This was clearly... a one-sided massacre!

In less than a minute.

The elite squad of the once-arrogant "Tuyuan Alliance" had been reduced to only Chen Yu and Liu Mingxuan, both covered in blood and sprawled limply on the ground, staring at the two Demon Gods before them with faces full of Fear!

"Ha ha ha... Ha ha ha ha!"

Ye Xuan stepped on Liu Mingxuan's chest and let out a crazed laugh!

"You looked down on me! You mocked me!"

"And now?!"

"Aren't you still crawling beneath my feet like Dead Dogs?!"

"You... you..." Liu Mingxuan and Chen Yu's eyes were filled with Fear. "How did you... become so strong?!"

"Want to know?"

A cruel smile appeared on Ye Xuan's face.

"Go ask Yama in hell!"

He was about to deliver the killing blow.

"Stop!"

Gu Ningxue's cool and aloof voice rang out.

Ye Xuan slowly turned his head. Those eyes brimming with resentment and Killing Intent locked fiercely onto Gu Ningxue!

That hatred was ten thousand times stronger than what he felt toward Liu Mingxuan and Chen Yu!

"Gu Ningxue!"

He squeezed out her name one word at a time through clenched teeth.

"Do you think I'll listen to you?"

"You've been so close to that bastard Lin Yuan. You should have died long ago!"

Li Xuan'er also walked over. Looking at Gu Ningxue's breathtakingly beautiful face, her eyes burned with jealous flames.

"That's right! That position should have been mine! You stole everything that belonged to me!"

"Gu Ningxue, you deserve to die!"
