However, as Qin Shuhao’s words fell, a clear and cold voice also rang out.
“Not a chance!”
Chu Xiwan lunged forward, her long whip sweeping through the air with a crackling sound, like thunder. The whip, acting as a cudgel, struck directly at Ye Wushuang.
Ye Wushuang blocked with his long sword, but the whip twisted and bound his sword in an instant.
In this moment, Ye Wushuang and Chu Xiwan faced each other directly, with Qin Shuhao standing to one side, spear in hand, surrounded by hundreds of warriors from the Chu and Qin clans. In just a short while, Ye Wushuang had already slain seven or eight people. Now, the Chu and Qin clan members, as well as the newcomers watching from a distance, were all filled with dread.
Ye Wushuang had been ranked first on the test list, at the first rank of the Condensation Meridian realm. In just over twenty days, he had reached the fifth rank. This rate of progress was not just terrifying—it was monstrous. Even more frightening was that despite his rapid advancement, Ye Wushuang’s strength at the fifth rank seemed to rival that of the sixth and seventh ranks.
Among those he had just killed were two or three individuals at the fifth and sixth ranks of the Condensation Meridian realm.
“Ye Wushuang, do you know what you’re up against? It’s a clan. This is not something a mere fifth-rank cultivator can reverse!” Chu Xiwan said coldly.
“Are you sure?”
Ye Wushuang sneered, “Just like today, you all think that I, Ye Wushuang, am doomed to die at your hands. But when I thrust my sword into your heart, and you recall these words, all you’ll feel is terror and regret, won’t you?”
“Arrogant!”
Qin Shuhao, standing nearby, lunged forward with his spear.
With his Tianya Sword bound, Ye Wushuang saw Qin Shuhao’s attack and wasted no time. His other hand immediately gathered palm energy.
“Azure Thunder Palm!”
With a shout in his mind, the Azure Thunder Palm print condensed. When the ninth palm print formed, suddenly, the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth palm prints appeared. Ye Wushuang superimposed the twelve palm prints together and thrust them forward.
Boom… Boom…
The palm prints surged forward, accompanied by rolling thunder.
Qin Shuhao, feeling a terrifying force of muffled thunder sweeping into his body as his spear struck, let out a muffled grunt and retreated, his expression slightly changing.
Ye Wushuang did not stop. His Tianya Sword gleamed, and he swung it back. Chu Xiwan immediately felt that her whip could no longer bind the sword, and she involuntarily took a few steps forward.
“Shadow-Treading Whip Technique!”
With a clear shout, the whip trembled, and immediately numerous whip shadows, attached to spiritual energy, lashed out at Ye Wushuang.
“Cangpo Sword.”
The sword was drawn, its sword intent condensed, and the sword energy tore apart the whip shadows.
After this exchange, neither Chu Xiwan nor Qin Shuhao, both experts at the eighth rank of the Condensation Meridian realm, had gained any advantage over Ye Wushuang.
At this moment, the two stood together, their expressions darkening.
Ye Wushuang, at the fifth rank of the Condensation Meridian realm, possessing such power, was truly terrifying.
“Together.”
“Sure.”
Instantly, the two figures lunged forward.
Ye Wushuang gripped the Tianya Sword and said coldly, “You must accompany Shiyuan in death.”
Whoosh…
His figure lunged forward, the Tianyan Cangyun Sword Technique activated, the sword intent merging with the subtle realm, a sword drawn as if the heavenly mechanism was evolving, and the white clouds fleeting.
The three figures were now locked in fierce combat, while the onlookers around them were left dumbfounded.
Chu Xiwan and Qin Shuhao were not just members of the Chu and Qin clans, but also senior disciples of Qingyun Academy. More importantly, they were both high-ranking experts on the academy’s inner court Tayan List.
Yet now, they were being held at bay by Ye Wushuang, a newcomer.
If Ye Wushuang were to cultivate in Qingyun Academy for another two or three years, wouldn’t he be able to claim the top spot on the Tayan List directly?
