The sudden turn of events caused everyone’s expressions in the arena to change dramatically.
On the viewing platform, Zhao Su’s face instantly turned grim.
Someone actually dared to interfere in Guanxuan Academy’s martial examination.
She was about to act when a hand stopped her.
It was Yuan Gu.
Yuan Gu shook his head slightly, “This person is Ao Xiao, the Great Elder of the True Dragon Clan. If you try to stop him, Guanxuan Academy will be fine, but you might die.”
The True Dragon Clan.
In the demon realm of the Central Divine Continent, it stood alongside the Ancient Ape Clan as one of the two overlords of the demon world.
Even Guanxuan Academy in the Central Divine Continent would not lightly provoke it.
Because the True Dragon Clan’s maternal clan, the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan, had top-tier powerhouses serving in the main academy.
In terms of backing, even Guanxuan Academy in the Central Divine Continent could not compete.
Hearing Yuan Gu’s words, Zhao Su’s expression immediately became extremely unsightly.
She knew she could not contend against the True Dragon Clan. If she acted today, as Yuan Gu said, Guanxuan Academy would be unharmed, but she might die. The True Dragon Clan dared not destroy Guanxuan Academy, but that did not mean they dared not kill her. Moreover, they could do it without anyone knowing.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Su said, “Just like this?”
Yuan Gu nodded, “Endure, or die.”
Zhao Su clenched her hands tightly, silent.
After a long while, she slowly closed her eyes.
A deep sense of powerlessness.
Profound powerlessness.
No chance of victory at all.
Facing such a colossal force from the Central Divine Continent, she had no chance whatsoever.
Contact the main academy?
It was possible, but she knew the opponent had plenty of ways to prevent her from reaching the main academy.
Zhao Su sighed inwardly and relaxed her hands.
In the end, she gave up.
Though furious, the cruel reality forced her to bow to greater power.
In the distance, Ye Guan crashed to the ground. At this moment, Nalan Jia’s physical body before him had completely dissipated. At the same time, her soul was vanishing at a terrifying speed.
Soon, she would be reduced to ashes, disappearing from this world.
Ye Guan looked at Nalan Jia before him, as if struck by lightning five times. His mind went blank.
Not far away, Ao Xiao from the True Dragon Clan looked coldly at Ye Guan, “Slaughter a member of my True Dragon Clan? You think you are worthy?”
He had appeared naturally to save this True Dragon.
This was the young clan leader of the True Dragon Clan.
If it were slaughtered here by a mere youth, would the True Dragon Clan not become a laughingstock in the Central Divine Continent?
As for rules.
In the Central Divine Continent, he might not dare break them, but here, the rules of a tiny upper realm academy, he truly did not care about.
Who would dare say anything?
Who dared.
Ao Xiao stared at Ye Guan. At this moment, killing intent was undisguised in his eyes.
Able to breach the True Dragon Clan’s defence, and a sword cultivator to boot. Such a future great enemy, he naturally would not spare.
His right hand slowly clenched. A terrifying power fiercely gathered in his palm.
At this moment, everyone in the arena sensed Ao Xiao’s killing intent.
People from the three hundred and sixty provinces also stared in astonishment at the scene. How could this happen? Was this not a fair duel?
Was this not blatant bullying?
Why did no one from Guanxuan Academy intervene?
Why? Everyone was puzzled.
But no one came forward with an answer.
At that moment, Xiao Ge in the distance suddenly roared angrily towards the viewing platform, “Was this not a fair duel? Was this not a fair duel?”
On the viewing platform, everyone fell silent.
They knew it was unfair.
Even Zhao Su, who led them, remained silent.
She knew it was unfair.
But none of them spoke.
They just watched.
Seeing everyone’s silence, Xiao Ge’s eyes nearly split from rage, “Is there still heavenly justice? Is there still fairness?”
Everyone remained silent.
Under absolute power, where was heavenly justice? Where was fairness?
No one dared stand against the True Dragon Clan.
In the distance, Ao Xiao stared fixedly at Ye Guan, about to strike. Just then, a mysterious power suddenly locked onto Nalan Jia’s fading soul. At the same time, an irritable voice suddenly resounded through the arena, “Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!”
As the voice fell.
Boom.
A golden light suddenly shot skywards from Ye Guan’s body.
The golden light dispersed, and an illusory figure appeared in the arena.
It was Tower Master.
Ao Xiao stared at Tower Master, his eyes narrowing slightly, “What the hell are you?”
Tower Master raged, “I am your fucking ancestor! You beastly thing!”
As his voice fell, he suddenly vanished from the spot.
Ao Xiao’s pupils contracted sharply. He punched forward fiercely with his right hand.
Boom.
With this punch, golden light surged. Space in the arena directly exploded.
Bang.
Under everyone’s astonished gazes, a golden light shattered. Ao Xiao was forcibly sent flying backwards.
The crowd froze.
Just then, the illusory figure suddenly grabbed Ao Xiao’s head and slammed it fiercely towards the ground.
Bang.
The entire earth shattered with a rumble.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
A True Dragon being brutally beaten?
Just then, Ao Xiao suddenly roared in fury, directly reverting to his true form. A giant dragon thousands of zhang long shot skywards.
The next moment, the illusory figure directly appeared atop Ao Xiao’s head. Then, he stomped down fiercely.
Bang.
Ao Xiao plummeted from the sky. During the fall, blood continuously sprayed from his mouth. Moreover, he let out piercing screams of agony.
A one-sided thrashing?
Everyone was shocked by the scene before them.
At that moment, as soon as Ao Xiao hit the ground, the illusory figure appeared at his abdomen. He grabbed with both hands and tore fiercely.
Rip.
A massive gash was directly torn in the True Dragon’s abdomen. Then, under everyone’s gaze, the illusory figure forcibly pulled out the True Dragon’s tendons.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the arena petrified.
Extracting dragon tendons.
This was simply an insult to the True Dragon Clan.
As the True Dragon’s tendons were pulled, intense pain caused him to howl continuously. However, the illusory figure did not stop, instead frantically pulling. In a short while, all the True Dragon’s tendons were forcibly extracted.
In the arena, dragon blood directly soaked the entire earth.
At this moment, Ao Xiao was on the verge of death.
“Tower Master.”
At that point, Ye Guan’s trembling voice suddenly rang out in the arena.
The illusory figure stopped. He turned to look at Ye Guan. Ye Guan said with a trembling voice, “Little Jia… can she still live?”
Little Tower slowly walked to Ye Guan. It looked at Nalan Jia before him. After a moment of silence, it said, “Yes.”
Ye Guan pleaded, “Save her.”
Little Tower said gravely, “I cannot save her now. I can only temporarily preserve her soul. Moreover, her soul has suffered severe damage. You must find a sword for her to fully restore her soul. Otherwise, even if revived now, with her damaged soul, it would be an incomplete soul. An incomplete soul means, even if revived, she would not be fully herself.”
Ye Guan quickly asked, “What sword?”
Little Tower said gravely, “The Qingxuan Sword.”
Qingxuan Sword.
Ye Guan’s pupils contracted sharply, “The sword of the Human Sword Lord?”
Little Tower nodded, “Yes.”
Ye Guan asked again, “Where is it?”
Little Tower said, “Central Divine Continent, Undying Imperial Clan.”
Undying Imperial Clan.
Ye Guan’s hands slowly clenched.
Little Tower said softly, “Have your sword first contain her soul.”
Ye Guan looked at the illusory Nalan Jia before him, his heart aching like a knife twist. He gently stroked Nalan Jia’s cheek and said softly, “Little Jia, wait for me.”
With that, he contained Nalan Jia’s soul within the Path Sword.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then slowly stood up. He walked towards Ao Xiao.
At this moment, Ao Xiao was on the verge of death.
Under everyone’s gazes, Ye Guan walked to the side of Ao Xiao’s dragon head. Just then, Li Wan on the viewing platform suddenly said, “If you kill him, you will be in eternal enmity with the True Dragon Clan. Once the True Dragon Clan issues a kill order against you, you will undoubtedly die. You must…”
Ye Guan suddenly slashed down fiercely with his sword.
Sword light flashed.
Hiss.
Under everyone’s gazes, the True Dragon’s head directly fell. Blood gushed like a fountain.
Everyone fell silent.
At that moment, Ye Guan suddenly turned slowly and walked towards An Mu.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Gu on the viewing platform suddenly said urgently, “You must not.”
Ye Guan turned to look at Yuan Gu. Yuan Gu stared at Ye Guan, “The An family once produced two Martial Gods. He is a descendant of the An family. If you kill him, you will be enemies with the An family’s two Martial Gods, and also enemies with Guanxuan Academy. You…”
Just then, Ye Guan had already vanished from the spot.
Hiss.
The next moment, the Path Sword had pierced into An Mu’s forehead.
An Mu froze in place.
But at this critical moment, a terrifying overwhelming aura suddenly came from the depths of the distant starry sky.
At this moment, the entire upper realm trembled.
The entire upper realm.
On the viewing platform, Elder Yuan said with a trembling voice, “Such terrifying aura. This must be one of the An family’s ancestors.”
The An family had inherited for tens of millions of years. Aside from those two female Martial Gods, there were countless top-tier powerhouses.
The one coming this time was definitely a super powerhouse.
Everyone in the arena was somewhat stunned.
Ye Guan looked up at the starry sky. Compared to this terrifying pressure, the True Dragon’s pressure was like child’s play.
Completely incomparable.
Ye Guan smiled faintly. He slowly closed his eyes.
If he could not live together with Little Jia, then die together.
Just then, the Path Sword in his hand suddenly trembled slightly…
