The intense killing intent instantly put everyone present on guard.

They all looked over and discovered an incomparably beautiful silver-haired girl, leaving them utterly shocked.

What was going on? Someone wanted to kill Ji Xuan?

Quite a few King-Sealing Prodigies were no match for Ji Xuan.

At the end of the Spirit Road, most people believed Ji Xuan was the strongest contender for the Spirit Crown. It was no exaggeration to call him the number one seed.

Now, someone had suddenly appeared to challenge—no, to kill—Ji Xuan. It was truly shocking!

"That's Luo Li. I heard Ji Xuan is pursuing her!"

"A beauty even Ji Xuan can't obtain must be covered in thorns!"

"Tsk, tsk. Ji Xuan wanted to be the mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole behind. Now we can sit back and watch the tigers fight!"

Many geniuses whispered among themselves, their words full of schadenfreude.

They all knew Ji Xuan was a major obstacle to winning the championship, yet none of them wanted to be the first to step forward.

Now that someone dared to fire the first shot, they were naturally delighted.

Even if Luo Li lost to Ji Xuan, she could still force him to reveal his trump cards. What was there not to like?

"Miss Luo Li, why must you be my enemy?"

Ji Xuan sighed, somewhat regretful.

He had seen many beautiful girls on this Spirit Road.

Wen Qingxuan was fiery and stunning, and he had been tempted by her too.

But after learning that she was a King-Sealing Prodigy personally selected by the dean of Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy, he no longer dared to entertain any thoughts.

After all, the conflict between Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy and Holy Spiritual Academy was no small matter. There was absolutely no possibility between them.

Only Luo Li was alone.

Her indifference toward all living things, her cold and peerless beauty, her astonishing talent, and extraordinary strength had truly captivated Ji Xuan.

The less willing she was to submit, the more excited he became, and the more he wanted to seize her in his grasp.

That idiot Yang Hong had thought he could hunt Luo Li down with a few schemes.

Now there had been no news from him. He was probably more dead than alive.

Not bad, not bad.

Just as expected of the girl he had taken a liking to!

But!

Publicly opposing him...

That was something Ji Xuan could not tolerate!

He was determined to obtain the Spirit Crown.

No one on this Spirit Road could stop him!

Even if she was a girl he admired, if she stood against him, there was only one outcome!

"Those who oppose me, die!"

Ji Xuan's gaze turned fierce. Without hesitation, he decisively threw a punch!

Its power had clearly surpassed the Spirit Wheel Stage and reached the Divine Soul Stage!

On this Spirit Road, where the physical body reigned supreme, he was invincible!

"As expected, Ji Xuan is comparable to the Divine Soul Stage. This is troublesome."

"Can Luo Li handle him?"

Many people's expressions changed abruptly, startled by Ji Xuan's aura.

If they were all at the Spirit Wheel Stage, they would naturally still have a chance.

But once one entered the Divine Soul Stage, those in the Spirit Wheel Stage could not stir up any waves at all!

If they wanted to obtain the Spirit Crown, it seemed they had to reach the Divine Soul Stage!

The proud and haughty peerless girl propped her fair chin on her slender jade hand and smiled lightly.

"Her name is Luo Li, right?"

She was truly beautiful, exactly her type.

It was just unknown how strong she was.

If she was very strong, that would be perfect!

She loved her already!

"Ji Xuan is nothing special."

The Nine-leaf Sword Grass rooted on the Luo God Sword swayed gently.

Insanely fierce and incomparably sharp sword energy instantly clung to the Luo God Sword.

Zhao Chen sneered inwardly. In the Great Thousand World, with all kinds of spiritual arts and divine techniques, it might have been difficult to kill Ji Xuan.

But on this restricted Spirit Road, working together with Luo Li, who wielded the Luo God Sword, he was truly invincible!

"Slash!"

A black sword radiance cleaved out. Luo Li's gaze was firm, as though she had returned to the moment when she had killed the Golden Armored Dragon-Tiger Beast cub with a single sword strike!

"What!?"

Ji Xuan was horrified. He could not believe Luo Li could unleash such a terrifying sword strike!

Even if she had entered the Divine Soul Stage and possessed the mysterious supreme treasure in her hand, she should not have been able to reach such a level!

This was deadly!

"Help!"

Ji Xuan did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately turned to flee.

He rushed into his own camp, attempting to use lives to delay her.

However, he had been far too optimistic!

Under that strike, both the underlings who reacted and those who did not were all cut down on the spot!

It was utterly ruthless!

It was simply a case of killing gods in their path and slaughtering demons in their way!

This bloody scene directly frightened everyone present senseless.

Even Wen Qingxuan, Wu Ling, Wu Yingying, Mu Chen, and Ji Xuan himself, who was being chased, were horrified!

Such power had already reached an absolute ruler's level at the current end of the Spirit Road!

As long as Luo Li ascended the ninth platform, sat upon the Spirit Crown Platform, and held her ground for ten days without moving, she would become the unshakable Spirit Road Champion of this session!

"Die!"

Though she had killed many people, Luo Li was not moved in the slightest.

She could clearly tell that far too many of these people had hunted her before.

Even if some had not hunted her, they were still Ji Xuan's followers.

Anyone who strengthened Ji Xuan deserved death!

"No, you can't kill me!"

Only then did Ji Xuan experience the helplessness and terror of those weaker people he had killed.

How could a King-Sealing Prodigy like him accept being treated like an ant?

But that sword was still pursuing him, as though it would not return to its sheath until it had succeeded!

Ji Xuan was truly afraid now. Unable to hide his panic beneath his bluster, he shouted, trying to make Luo Li calm down.

But he could never have imagined that the one controlling the Luo God Sword in pursuit was actually the silver Nine-leaf Sword Grass that resembled a pattern on its blade!

"Those who kill shall be killed!"

Luo Li coldly declared, "You hunted me yesterday. Today, I will kill you!"

Her killing intent was impossible to restrain!

"Dean, save me!"

Seeing that begging was useless, that he had no defensive means, and that he could neither outrun nor escape, Ji Xuan could only throw back his head and shout.

This made Luo Li pause. Dean?

Ji Xuan was a disciple personally selected by Holy Spiritual Academy. In other words, he was calling for the Heavenly Sage Dean of Holy Spiritual Academy!

"This is the Spirit Road. The rules of the Five Great Academies are not yours to change."

Luo Li's gaze sharpened. Though she said this, she knew very well that it was not impossible for the deans of the Five Great Academies to intervene personally.

Especially Holy Spiritual Academy, which was exceedingly domineering and powerful. They would very likely not sit by and watch Ji Xuan be killed!

After all, in the eyes of the Five Great Academies, she was merely a prodigy with no background.

If they truly weighed the matter, they would definitely protect Ji Xuan first and discuss the rules afterward.

Strength reigned supreme at the sword's edge!

"What audacity! You dare kill my personal disciple? You seek death!"

However, the clear sky suddenly split apart, and a colossal palm descended from the heavens!

It blotted out the sky and covered the earth, arriving in an instant!

This had already surpassed the limits that the Divine Soul Stage could endure!

It was the Heavenly Sage Dean of Holy Spiritual Academy, personally intervening!

Countless people were horrified and wanted to flee to avoid being caught in the aftermath, but the pressure pinned them down, making them unable to move.

If nothing unexpected happened, they would not escape death!

"Heavenly Sage Dean, you have crossed the line!"

At that moment, an azure palm print appeared in the air and shot straight upward, colliding head-on with it!

In an instant, the entire end of the Spirit Road froze.

Both time and space did the same.

Supreme Realm experts from the Five Great Academies were exchanging blows!

Luo Li gritted her silver teeth, yet she was still suppressed by the pressure.

Just as she worried that Ji Xuan might escape death, a calm and indifferent voice sounded in her heart.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

In an instant, the pitch-black Luo God Sword flew from her hand.

Then, dark sword radiance that seemed capable of tearing apart this space and breaking the confinement erupted forth.

Its target was Ji Xuan!

"No, no, I don't want to die!"

The scream came to an abrupt stop.

In the heavens, a pair of white eyes filled with fury appeared.

"Foolish ant, you will be buried with Ji Xuan!"

Just as he prepared to descend in person and kill Luo Li, a detached yet elegant female voice rang out.

"Heh. If Holy Spiritual Academy is willing to become enemies with the Luo God Clan to the point of fighting to the death, Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy will not stop you from courting death..."
