Wei Tianchong clenched his teeth and sprinted forward, shouting, “Ye Tianshang, for daring to hurt my servant student, once I become a True Inheritor, I won’t spare you!”
“Bullshit!” Ye Tianshang shouted. “The True Person can decide who he picks as his disciple, and your talent and personality are both inferior to mine, so what makes you think you’re worthy of becoming a True Inheritor? Out of my way!”
With one knee to the abdomen, Shi Meng was sent flying off.
Activating the Windcloud Step, Ye Tianshang once more went after Wei Tianchong.
In the end, he was a student who had been cultivating for more than five years, and with the speed of his Windcloud Step, he closed the distance in the blink of an eye. Wei Tianchong mentally cursed, but at this moment, he had made up his mind to not disappoint Tang Jie. Slashing out with his Bonecrush Axe, he hollered, “Ghost Axe spell!”
Ye Tianshang seized the axe in his hand, smiling savagely. “A puny trick! It’s no use against me.”
“Then what about this one?” A sword flashed out of the forest, heading straight for Ye Tianshang’s face.
Ye Tianshang hadn’t expected a development like this. The flying sword was moving incredibly fast, so he instinctively drew back his hand, his right hand bringing up his sword to block. Clang! Ye Tianshang was forced back by the impact.
Three people appeared in the forest. Their leader waved his hand, and that flying sword turned around in the air and flew back into his hand.
“Big Brother!” Wei Tianchong cried out in delight.
This newcomer was none other than Wei Tianchong’s big brother, Wei Tianzhi.
“Wei Tianzhi?” Ye Tianshang’s pupils constricted. When it came to strength, he didn’t fear Wei Tianzhi, but Wei Tianzhi was still an eighth-year student, two years above him. Even if he had only muddled his way to reach this point. an eighth-year could still fight against a sixth-year, and Wei Tianzhi also had his two servant students.
But a moment later, Ye Tianshang shouted, “Wei Tianzhi, students above the sixth year can’t participate in the struggle for True Inheritor. Why did you attack me?”
Wei Tianzhi indifferently replied, “I know that, so I haven’t left the academy. If you tried to intercept my little brother outside of the academy, I would have never intervened. But since we’re inside the academy, bullying my little brother is something that I will never agree to… I don’t care who becomes the True Inheritor. I only know who can’t attack my little brother.”
He then glanced at Wei Tianchong. “Hurry and get going! The two of you, help him out!”
Wei Tianchong realized what was going on and sprinted off. Wu Xing and the other servant student, Xiao Zhe, both moved simultaneously, placing their palms on his back and using their strength to send Wei Tianchong flying up the mountain.
“Don’t think about running!” Enraged, Ye Tianshang wanted to pursue, but he now had several people hindering him, and he wasn’t strong enough to push through four people. At this moment, he regretted his excessive greed. He had believed that he could resolve this matter alone, so he hadn’t asked for anyone else’s help.
As he watched Wei Tianchong disappear up the summit, he knew that he had lost his chance. He could only resentfully sigh, “He got lucky this time, but there are three chances in all. Just wait! No one except me can become Changfeng’s True Inheritor!”
Wei Tianchong charged up the mountain, rushed through the academy gate, and madly barged into the post station, shouting, “Basking Moon Student Wei Tianchong has come to pick up his shipment!”
An employee took out a silk box and placed it in Wei Tianchong’s hand.
Wei Tianchong took the box, but just when he was about to leave, he turned around and saw Liu Hongyan, Cai Junyang, Ping Jingyue, and Shu Mingyang standing behind him.
Paling, Wei Tianchong muttered, “No…”
His mood instantly plunged to rock bottom.
Fight!
Fight!
Fight!
At this moment, Tang Jie was frenzied with the will to fight, swinging his saber at everyone who attacked him.
There was no longer affection between brothers or camaraderie between schoolmates, only an endless struggle on the narrow path of Immortality!
All kinds of spells were being unleashed at Tang Jie every moment. There was no time to dodge, so Tang Jie could only resist with his tough body.
The Aquagel Shroud shattered again and again.
The Formless Golden Body was also falling to this flood of spiritual energy.
His body was constantly battered and broken under the wild barrage, and Tang Jie had now been entirely drenched in blood.
Some people became scared, some people backed away in fear, and others became even crazier.
The cadence of the battle began to gradually go out of control. Just as everyone knew, battles only grew more and more frenzied. No one had ever become more rational the more they battled.
A few of the more ruthless students had even started to use powerful spells without regard for human life.
Whoosh!
A snow-white saber energy slashed at Tang Jie.
Tang Jie dodged to the side and swung his saber at his assailant’s shoulder, but the blade didn’t go very deep. Tang Jie felt dizzy, and he knew that he was getting tired.
A moment later, a palm slammed into his chest, and Tang Jie punched back, sending both him and his attacker flying away at the same time.
Another two students rushed up and started to attack Tang Jie.
Tang Jie’s eyes flashed, and he thrust his right hand forward. “Chase!”
A large golden character emerged from his hand and struck a student, sending him over the crowd and into the lake.
Everyone was stunned by this move, not knowing whether that student was alive or dead. Meanwhile, Tang Jie swept out with his saber again, and a golden light flashed in his palm again as the Chase Character appeared and struck another student.
“A Wuwang Character!” A student who had once heard of it finally recognized it for what it was and cried out in alarm.
“All of you, out of my way!” Tang Jie lashed out with his hand as he angrily roared.
The Wuwang Character pressed down, creating a giant windstorm that instantly swept up several dozen students and sent them skyward.
This was the power of a True Lord, and even if it was only 1% of the True Lord’s power, it was enough to sweep through everyone.
As the Wuwang Character activated, Tang Jie’s fighting spirit swelled once more. His exhausted body seemed to gain new life, and as he swung the Heartbreak Saber, frightening gales howled around him. With one strike, he broke the legs of a student.
His sudden surge startled all of the students.
No one had expected a mere second-year student to last so long against their combined onslaught. Even if their excessive numbers made it difficult for them to fully exploit their advantage, this person’s strength was still astonishing.
Tang Jie charged at Lu Fei and shouted, “Lu Fei, you tried to take my money and incited this fight by framing me, and you must die for that!”
Lu Fei was shaken to his soul by this roar, and he felt his legs go soft and weak.
At this moment, a snow-white brilliance shot at Tang Jie and pushed him away.
A snow-white arrow had penetrated through Tang Jie’s chest and nailed him to the ground.
“Senior Brother Long!” someone in the crowd shouted.
After this arrow was loosed, everyone stopped pursuing Tang Jie and turned to look at the nearby archer.
This was a tall and muscular young student with a rather proud expression. With a longbow in hand, he coldly glared at Tang Jie. “You’re rather talented to hold out against so many students. But I’d like to see you try to keep hopping around now that you’ve been struck by my Starseize Arrow.”
Tang Jie viciously glared at the young man. “Long Dao!”
This was a sixth-year student of Basking Moon Academy, a person on par with Ye Tianshang and a genius.
Tang Jie said, “What you want isn’t here. All of you are just wasting your strength.”
Long Dao proudly raised his head. “Won’t that be easily proved by looking at your Mustard Seed Bag?”
Tang Jie chuckled. “You want proof? You’ll see it soon. But before that, I’ll be taking the life of the person who framed me.”
“Impudent!” Long Dao’s face darkened. “You think you can just kill anyone you want? Who do you think you are? If you don’t hand over the Mustard Seed Bag, I’ll take it myself!”
He strode over to Tang Jie and reached for Tang Jie’s bag.
At this moment, Tang Jie flipped his wrist, and a dim light struck the Starseize Arrow. The arrow was sliced in half and the seal dissipated. Tang Jie jumped to his feet and punched Long Dao, a lusterless piece of golden metal clenched between his fingers.
Long Dao instantly raised his head in alarm, and the fist punched him in the throat. Blood instantly gushed out from Long Dao’s throat.
He held his throat and backed away, staring in disbelief at Tang Jie. “You…”
Tang Jie had already gotten to his feet and lunged at Lu Fei.
While surrounded by hundreds, he did not seek to explain himself, only to kill Lu Fei.
Lu Fei retreated in alarm while several students lunged at Tang Jie, countless cloth threads shooting at him. Someone shouted, “Tang Jie, this isn’t a place where you can do what you want!”
“If I want to kill someone, no one can stop me!” Tang Jie bellowed. He accelerated, pushing the Violet Lightning Lunge to the limits. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The threads that sought to wind around him were all obliterated.
Several figures leapt at Tang Jie, but he knocked them all away.
There was another sharp shout as a silk net was cast at Tang Jie, but a moment later, with the sound of tearing cloth, Tang Jie broke free, not one bit slower as he instantly closed the distance with Lu Fei.
After bitterly fighting for so long, he was being supported by purely his guts and the last bit of his strength. He knew that if he missed this chance, he would never get a chance to kill Lu Fei again.
He understood that once this matter was reported, the academy would punish Lu Fei.
But Tang Jie did not want this, was not willing!
This was the first time Tang Jie had ever had the urge to kill someone.
He didn’t need the academy to speak up for him. He only sought to gain justice for himself through himself.
He did not need to borrow the hand of the academy to punish someone.
It’s my enemy, so I’ll take care of him!
His entire body was seething with blood energy, all of his power unleashed. He heedlessly charged at Lu Fei, ignoring all obstacles.
He wanted everyone to know that anyone who dared to frame him would die!
And their death would be swift!
He activated the Blood Refining Spirit, his strength rocketing to its limit.
He rammed his way through everyone who tried to bar his path, a fierce tiger slaughtering its way through a crowd.
His energy rapidly dwindled in his charge. Lu Fei’s body was already shining with the light of his protective barrier. He was so close, yet he felt so far. Another student attacked, unleashing chilling light that sent his body flying away.
Tang Jie appeared to be out of options and strength, and Lu Fei gave a savage and satisfied smile.
A moment later, he saw Tang Jie lightly flick his hand at him.
But there was nothing there.
A moment later, he felt something go around his neck.
Whoosh!
His head went flying into the air!
And as his head soared upward, all the students saw a firework shoot up from the Clear Sky Mountains.
