“Ah Ni! Let this Young Master see how tough is your defense?”
Jiang Yi rushed forward without any fear. He congealed 50 wisps of black essence forces and released the Exploding Essence Palm at Ah Ni’s massive body.
“Swish!”
Sensing the powerful surge in Jiang Yi’s palm, Young Master Shen Ying’s expression changed. His body shot into mid-air like a goose feather, using the flexible sword to push off the ground. He easily dodged Jiang Yi’s attack, but Ah Ni still continued his advance naively.
“Boom!”
With so much black essence forces poured into the Exploding Essence Palm, the power was now equivalent to an all-out attack from a seventh- or eighth-stage Purple Mansion Realm martial artist. The violent explosive force was just like a thunderstorm which rained down, blasting Ah Ni away. It even blasted away the two nearby mentors which were rushing towards them!
However, Jiang Yi was extremely surprised by the fact that the two mentors were spurting fresh blood from their mouth, but Ah Ni’s mountain-like body quickly stood back up. His robes were burst into pieces, and his solid muscles were trickling with blood. Such a fearsome defense power!
“Roar-Roar!”
Ah Ni let out another mad roar and hammered his iron fists on his chest. He rushed towards Jiang Yi even more violently, just like a small mountain shifting.
“Tsk-Tsk!”
Young Master Shen Ying, who was in mid-air, descended and thrust his venomous snake-like flexible sword downwards. Before he was about to land, his biting cold murderous intent enveloped Jiang Yi.
“He!”
The mentor, who was wielding the giant ax, burst towards Jiang Yi as well. He leaped high and cleaved his giant ax down like a falling meteor.
“Come on!”
Jiang Yi roared while the Fire Spirit Pearl appeared in his hands again. This time, he wasn’t just threatening. With a flash, a silver-colored artifact sword suddenly appeared in his hand. Pouring his black essence force in, the silver sword was radiating with chilling light. Jiang Yi’s longsword shook and immediately covered the sky with sword shadows. He shouted, “Summer Rain Downpour!”
His Overflow Rain Sword was already at phenomenal stage. Right now, the black essence force released horrific firepower. His bone-chilling presence coupled the Massacre Intent, making the air stopped flowing. Young Master Shen Ying speed was suppressed, and his maneuvers became dull.
“Clang-clang!”
When the silver longsword and Young Master Shen Ying’s flexible sword got in contact, the latter was instantly broken. Jiang Yi’s longsword didn’t have any hint of pausing and continued to slash at Young Master Shen Ying.
“Ah!”
Young Master Shen Ying gasped and forcefully made a turn in mid-air. He drifted back just like a subtle breeze, but the robe on his back was burst into pieces and was covered in fresh blood. The dashing face was now twisting in pain, as his body drifted several feet before tumbling on the ground.
“Tsk-Tsk!”
The silver longsword didn’t stop glistening and entrapped Ah Ni who was rushing at Jiang Yi. Ah Ni’s muscles, which were forged like steel, only suffered light injuries after the terrifying explosion from the Exploding Essence Palm. Now, it was like tofu when withstanding the silver longsword, which was left with a lot of gashes of blood wounds. If Jiang Yi didn’t leave any mercy, Ah Ni would have probably become a corpse.
“Bang!”
Jiang Yi kicked on Ah Ni’s body, which was in a bloody mess, and sent him flying. He then turned to attack the mentor that was cleaving with his giant ax.
“Crack!”
Against the silver longsword, the giant ax was instantly slashed like tofu. The mentor frantically retreated with startled eyes.
The autumn gale sweeps away the fallen leaves 1 !
Jiang Yi’s violent attack was just like a lion wiping out a group of sheep. It didn’t seem like a fight between same-leveled martial artists. His black hair was dancing in a frenzy; coupled with his blood-red eyes, he gave off a feeling of an invincible demonic god!
“Wow!”
Everyone was flabbergasted and staring at Jiang Yi’s silver sword in fear. Could it be a heaven-tier artifact? Otherwise, how was it so sharp and domineering?
What is going in? How can this Numinous Artifact be of such power in Jiang Yi’s hand? Is it because of the essence force that Jiang Yi poured in?
Su Ruoxue had eyes of suspicion. This silver artifact sword was naturally the one that Jiang Yi gifted to her in the Tomb of the Heaven Monarch. When she knew that Principal Qi was going to change the rules of the challenge, she immediately gave Jiang Yi the sword to use. But she didn’t expect for this Numinous Artifact to be of the same power as a heaven-tier artifact!
No wonder…
The suspicion in Yun Fei’s eyes was dismissed. If Jiang Yi had such an artifact, it was sufficient to explain why he could instantaneously severe the yellow vines. But her eyes glimmered constantly while she mumbled, “Jiang Yi. Seems like you obtained quite a short list of artifacts in the Tomb of the Heaven Monarch. You even have a spatial divine artifact!”
Not only Yun Fei, but the majority of the people also guessed it, too. The reason why this silver longsword appeared out of nowhere wasn’t that it was hidden on Jiang Yi. The only explanation was that Jiang Yi possessed a similar spatial artifact like the Ancient Divine Essence Ring.
“Swish!”
Everyone was stunned, but Jiang Yi’s body didn’t pause for long. He wielded the silver artifact sword and advanced forward. As the Massacre Intent and the chilling aura from the artifact sword combined with each other, it frightened all the cadets and mentors so much that their faces were as pale as snow.
“Everyone, stop. This promotion challenge is Jiang Yi’s victory!”
An aged voice suddenly echoed, which caused everyone to tremble. The always mysterious Zhuge Qingyun, who hadn’t appeared in over ten years, actually sent another message? It seemed like he was paying attention to this promotion challenge.
Those participating cadets and mentors all let out a breath of relief. Zhan Wushuang, Su Ruoxue, and the rest also felt more relaxed. The state of affairs was clear: if the fight was to continue, it would only have more casualties and nothing else.
In just a few moves, a few cadets and mentors were severely injured, over a dozen cadets, and two special traits cadets were injured, too. Jiang Yi was wielding such a horrific weapon; with it complemented with his Massacre Intent and Exploding Essence Palm, anyone who got near would be severely injured.
Jiang Yi heard the message from Zhuge Qingyun, too; but he didn’t have full control of the Massacre Intent yet. His eyes were radiating with red light, and his body continued to rush towards several cadets. His horrifying killing intent had enveloped everyone nearby.
“Swish!”
With a flash, Principal Qi appeared with ease beside Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi’s red eyes promptly locked onto her. Fortunately, his mind had a trace of consciousness which helped him hold back and not make any move!
Principal Qi formed a hand blade with her hand and struck on the back of Jiang Yi’s head with lightning speed. Jiang Yi’s body went soft and fainted, collapsing on the ground. Principal Qi then instructed a few of the guards: “Bring him back. Su Ruoxue, you shall impart to him the secret arts of taming spirit beasts later. Bestow a spirit beast talisman to him, too.”
Zhan Wushuang and Qian Wanguan swiftly came and carried Jiang Yi back. The guards brought those cadets and mentors who were injured to be treated. The surrounding cadets soon dispersed, but all had faces of obvious unwillingness.
Many of them had sighing faces and lamented on the fact that Jiang Yi’s rumored no.1 rank had all been proved in this match.
…
In an elegant small courtyard in the Inner Courtyard of the college, Principal Qi walked in quickly. She came in front of an aged man who was seated on a wheelchair. She greeted with respect, “Principal!”
The one on the wheelchair was naturally the Principal of Mt. Spirit Beast College, Zhuge Qingyun, who was one of the top ten combatants in the continent. But only a few individuals knew that Zhuge Qingyun had broken legs and was seated on a wheelchair for fifteen years. For the past ten over years, Zhuge Qingyun had never revealed himself; and it was obviously related to his crippled legs.
Zhuge Qingyun looked old and had a head of white that was in a mess. His skin wasn’t glowing and was wrinkled like the tree bark. Right now, his eyelids were droopy; and it seemed like he was sleeping.
When he heard the calling from Principal Qi, he then shook his scarce eyebrows and opened his eyes, revealing opacified eyes. He nodded and didn’t say anything, seemingly about to doze off again.
“Principal!”
Principal Qi was used to seeing the doddering manner from Zhuge Qingyun. Her eyes glistened as she lowered her voice and asked, “Did you observe the entire fight earlier? Did you notice something?”
Zhuge Qingyun closed his eyes and shook his head lightly before muttering, “I didn’t dare to check in detail. I merely released my divine senses to feel it. This kid is indeed only at the seventh stage of Cast Tripod Realm. The reason why he is so formidable is probably due to the special black energy in his body. That longsword is definitely a numinous artifact, and the enhancement in power is definitely due to his black energy.”
“Black energy?”
Principal Qi recalled when Jiang Yi released his Exploding Essence Palm that his hand was emitting a black light. Her brows knitted while she asked with suspicion, “His body should have another blue essence force, right? Could he have a special Astral Body that allows his dantian to store multiple energies?
“Principal. Didn’t you once mention that his mother was of a mysterious background? Could he have inherited it from his mother?”
“Not sure!”
Zhuge Qingyun shook his head and replied, “Yi Piaopiao did have a mysterious background, and until now… no one knows where she came from. Her strength was insanely domineering, which allowed her to reach the Soul Travel Realm at the age of 18. The year when I just broke through to the Vajra Realm, I was nearly killed by her! A pity that she was heartbroken due to Jiang Bieli. If she didn’t die so early, she might be an unmatched individual on this continent…”
