On the arena.
The woman breathed slowly and deliberately, trying to alleviate her stress and exhaustion.
But the longer she persisted, the more difficult it became for her.
Fan Wei, however, remained completely at ease.
He chuckled lightly, his face calm and composed. Seizing the moment when Qi Xiaoxuan panting, a flash of red light appeared in his eyes, and his Divine Ability powers were unleashed. Like a mountain pressing down, he delivered a heavy blow directly to Qi Xiaoxuan's Dantian.
Seeing the situation was bad, Qi Xiaoxuan her teeth. Seeing the Saber Intent and Divine Ability rushing straight at her, she didn't have time to think. She took a deep breath, her Spiritual Power trembled, and she directly crippled half of her arm!
Her body jolted, and she tilted to one side, struck directly in the chest by Fan Wei's Divine Ability. She coughed up blood and tumbled off the stage in a disheveled state.
"Xiaoxuan!"
Zhu Yilan's pupils contracted, and she immediately leaped up, turned around, pulled the person into her arms, caught them in mid-air, and landed with them.
As soon as she landed, Qi Xiaoxuan spat out another mouthful of blood and fainted.
As the vice leader of Moon Eve Alliance, Zhu Yilan's face was extremely grim.
Looking at everything before her, she felt an intense surge of resentment.
The Moon Eve Alliance and his medical students rushed over, channeling their Spiritual Power into Qi Xiaoxuan's pulse to check her condition.
"This is bad... Although it didn't cause any serious injury, Sister Xuan's injury is quite severe, and she probably won't be able to participate in the upcoming matches."
" Golden Wing Alliance!"
Zhu Yilan suddenly looked up at Jin Yunyi's direction, gritting her teeth.
On the other hand, Fan Wei on the arena, after sheathing his twin swords, laughed unrestrainedly, "What a pity, you weren't crippled after taking my attack."
He arrogantly lowered his head, looked at Qi Xiaoxuan lying on the ground, and chuckled softly.
"If you have someone to blame, blame yourself for coming from the Moon Eve Alliance."
Fortunately, Qi Xiaoxuan was quite strong and quick-witted, managing to avoid the attack; otherwise, she might have been crippled by the Golden Wing Alliance members.
After all, it's a fair and square competition; if you're not as skilled, you can only accept your bad luck.
Zhu Yilan took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, her cold and pretty face tense, and prayed silently in her heart.
I pray I don't run into anyone from the Golden Wing Alliance next!
However...
Things don't always go as planned.
The more you try to prevent something from happening, the more likely it is to happen.
A sudden chorus of birdsong rang out.
"Arena No. 5, Gu Rao of the Supreme Institute versus Lin Xuan of the Supreme Institute!"
From the direction of the Golden Wing Alliance, a man who looked strong and powerful stood up, while the expressions of the people on the Moon Eve Alliance side changed instantly.
"Why is it the Golden Wing Alliance again...?"
"And the person who was chosen was Lin Xuan!"
Gu Rao of the Golden Wing Alliance is a Venerable, and one of the top talents in the Golden Wing Alliance. He is not the same as Han Ji before. He is also among the top in the Venerable Realm!
"Junior brother, how about we admit defeat?" Chang Ling'er said to Lin Xuan with a worried look. "There's nothing shameful about admitting defeat. You're a freshman, and you've already done a great job getting this far."
As the senior sister, she must protect her junior brother!
Even Zhu Yilan quickly joined in, offering her advice.
"That's right, the Golden Wing Alliance is determined to target us. Lin Xuan, you can admit defeat. Our Moon Eve Alliance won't lose this one match. This is just an academy competition, not an alliance tournament. Don't let the conflict between the two alliances damage your own foundation."
Those members of the Golden Wing Alliance looked like they were not to be trifled with.
Moreover, recently, the dude from Yunchao League died, and Jin Yunyi went crazy, and his methods can be described as ruthless.
Listening to the words of comfort from those around him, Lin Xuan gently shook his head.
"No need, I'm confident."
He was determined to do so, and no one could dissuade him; they could only watch him step by step onto the ring.
Gu Rao originally thought that the Moon Eve Alliance would admit defeat this time, but unexpectedly, a completely new face actually stepped onto the stage.
" Gu Rao."
He was about to step onto the arena when he suddenly heard Jin Yunyi's gloomy voice.
"Cripple that brat from the Moon Eve Alliance. Don't hold back; as long as he doesn't die in the arena, that's fine."
I want to make him wish he were dead!
Gu Rao's expression changed slightly.
He was an old hand who had followed Jin Yunyi for a long time, so when he heard this instruction, he naturally understood what Jin Yunyi meant.
He meant to say...
As long as Lin Xuan didn't die on the stage, that's fine. If he died the next day, or after the academy competition ended, then it was just his bad luck.
And it's not like they haven't done this kind of thing before.
As long as it's done discreetly...
"Right now, everyone's attention is focused on that woman, the Sword Fairy, who's about to take the stage. You know what to do."
Jin Yunyi transmitted his voice secretly, his voice filled with sorrow.
"He killed my brother, and I will make him pay with his life!"
After a brief pause, Gu Rao slowly began to speak.
"Yes!"
Once on the arena, Gu Rao glanced coldly at Lin Xuan and sneered, "Kid, blame yourself for messing with the wrong person."
With a flick of his wrist, knuckle dusters appeared between his hands. The golden knuckle dusters appeared even more flamboyant and sharp as he clenched his fists.
This person almost unleashed a burst of power.
Looking at the knuckle duster he used, it's clear that he was a martial artist who had cultivated his body to achieve enlightenment, making him indestructible. His physical body was comparable to a magical artifact.
The bell had barely rung when, without a word, he stomped his foot, shaking the arena, and his figure moved like lightning, his fists flying out towards Lin Xuan's face.
If he were to strike them squarely, they would be crippled or even killed, at the very least disfigured.
Lin Xuan took a step back, his sword flashing as he calmly and composedly dealt with the situation. However, a glint of triumph flashed in Gu Rao's eyes. Instead of retreating, Gu Rao coiled around Lin Xuan like a snake, taking advantage of the One Sword.
His moves were ruthless; he wasn't simply aiming to win, but rather to torture his opponents and revel in their pain!
Seeing this, Lin Xuan sneered.
As fellow students, out of consideration for their camaraderie and the academy's rules, he generally wouldn't resort to violence.
If you encounter someone like Han Ji, you won't be ruthless; you'll even show mercy, not harming the opponent but simply driving them away.
However, it is clear that Gu Rao and Han Ji are completely opposite.
Since the other party has gone to such lengths to kill me, not only trying to take my life but also using such ruthless methods, then...
He didn't hold back anymore!
If we're talking about ruthlessness, Lin Xuan, who fought his way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, fought with all his might to carve a bloody path for the Jade Balance Sword Palace and the Sword Pavilion, and fought his way through a long river of blood on the battlefield against the Alien Race, believes that he is second to none.
We certainly won't lose to these college kids!
Not to mention that the other party was only at the Venerable Realm; if they weren't within the Holy Heaven, he could kill them with a flick of his wrist!
Seeing Gu Rao using his sword to advance and try to rip out his heart, Lin Xuan sneered and immediately flicked his wrist, sending the tip of his sword into Gu Rao's throat.
His Sword Intent was incomparably powerful; under his fierce Sword Intent, no one in the academy would be his match.
And now...
As the sword tip plunged into his throat, Gu Rao sensed something was wrong, but his agile body seemed dead, completely unable to move. He could only watch as the man delivered a wisp of Sword Intent, which took root, survived, and even... rampaged through his body! It disrupted his Spiritual Power circuits and continuously damaged his meridians!!
"Ah!!"
As soon as the Sword Intent entered his body, it instantly dispersed into many tiny Sword-Ray, which darted around in Gu Rao's meridians, destroying his body.
This happened in the brief instant the two of them touched.
Those watching the battle saw Lin Xuan pierce Gu Rao's protective barrier with One Sword strike, slit his throat, and then knock him off the stage!
But after Gu Rao fell off the stage, he seemed to have been tortured, whimpering and howling in pain.
The healers from the Golden Wing Alliance rushed over to hold the person down, and their Spiritual Power probed Gu Rao's meridians. Their expressions changed drastically.
"How... how could this be?"
" Gu Rao..."
"He's been crippled..."
