As the deadly punch bore down on her, Ye Wushuang stood firm atop the dragon’s head, her figure unwavering. However, within her body, her blood began to boil subtly.
A warrior of the Heavenly Gang Realm!
A Heavenly Gang Realm warrior from the Chu Clan!
If she could slay Chu Hongtian, surely the Chu Clan would feel as if a vital piece of themselves had been torn away. In the Blue Cloud Empire, every warrior of the Heavenly Gang Realm was a pillar of support for their respective families. The loss of even one would be a tremendous blow.
Ye Wushuang had already made her decision. The spiritual energy within her surged forth, and within the second level of the Nine-Heavens Spirit-Taming Pagoda, the suspended Nine-Origin Tai Xu Sword, along with the twenty or so sword auras surrounding it, began to stir restlessly in response to her call.
“Hahahahaha…”
However, at that very moment, a loud, booming laughter echoed throughout the valley.
“Chu Hongtian, I was wondering why you would leave the academy and come here for no reason!”
As the laughter resounded, a hundred-foot-long sword aura, sharp and lethal, came slicing through the air from ten miles away, emitting an unstoppable sound as it cleaved through the void and struck directly against the powerful fist.
Boom…
Once again, a deafening roar erupted outside the valley. The sword aura and the fist energy collided and vanished in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, a figure appeared, stepping through the void and flashing several times before standing right in front of Ye Wushuang, facing Chu Hongtian directly.
“Tang Chuyi!”
Seeing the newcomer, Chu Hongtian’s eyebrows shot up in surprise.
Tang Chuyi had been an Inner Court Elder, at the ninth level of the Spirit Realm, just two months ago. But now, not only had he reached the first level of the Heavenly Gang Realm, but his sword intent had also reached the perfect level of completion. Within the Blue Cloud Academy, he had ascended to the rank of a Heaven-level Elder, his status greatly elevated and now on par with Chu Hongtian.
“Tang Chuyi, are you here to protect him?”
Chu Hongtian’s voice was cold and indifferent.
“I’m not part of your Chu Clan, acting lawlessly and doing as you please,” Tang Chuyi said with a cheerful smile. “I just couldn’t stand by and watch. I came here to uphold justice.”
Uphold justice?
Chu Hongtian sneered, “This boy has slaughtered Inner Court Elder Chu Qun, killed Inner Court instructors and disciples. Doesn’t he deserve death?”
“Whether he deserves death or not isn’t for you to decide,” Tang Chuyi replied with a smile. “Right, Vice Dean Li?”
Vice Dean Li?
Upon hearing this, Chu Hongtian’s eyebrows shot up again.
Unnoticed by all, on a protruding cliff on one side of the valley, a figure stood there, looking at everyone with a smile.
“Everyone, calm down, calm down,” he said.
Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Vice Dean Li Changqing, one of the four Vice Deans of the Blue Cloud Academy, a swordsman with a perfectly formed sword intent and also a warrior of the Heavenly Gang Realm.
As one of the four Vice Deans, Li Changqing was already at the late stage of the Heavenly Gang Realm, his strength almost on par with the leaders of the Five Great Families.
Within the entire Blue Cloud Empire, the most inscrutable force was naturally the royal Qing Clan. However, in this regard, the Blue Cloud Academy was actually not weaker than the royal family. The academy, being an educational institution, had no interest in power struggles and focused more on cultivating talents.
The current Dean of the Blue Cloud Academy, Yun Xingjian, was the only publicly known super-strong warrior at the Wanfa Realm level within the entire Blue Cloud Empire.
So now, even though there were internal conflicts among the various great families within the academy, the Dean, at his level, was not willing to interfere too much. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Five Great Families to have such a strong influence within the Blue Cloud Academy.
Li Changqing’s appearance caused Chu Hongtian to look at Ye Wushuang with even more contempt. This mere warrior at the fifth level of the Condensation Pulse Realm had actually managed to get Vice Dean Li Changqing and Tang Chuyi to protect him!
This Ye Wushuang, an orphan of the Ye Clan, was not simple at all!
Chu Hongtian turned to Li Changqing and immediately said, “Vice Dean, this boy is ruthless. He has slaughtered the new disciples during the assessment, directly killed over a hundred senior students, and even Inner Court instructors and elders have died at his hands!”
“Such a ruthless and inhumane individual, our Blue Cloud Academy must not keep him!”
