Thinking of this, Qin Lao and the others sighed, believing Sikong Jing was truly a blessing for the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace, and their confidence swelled. However, they never considered that all the Beast Skills were created by Sikong Jing himself.
"Haha, aren’t you going to surrender?"
"If we keep fighting, all your clothes will be slashed off, and I sure as hell don’t want to get needle eye."
Just then, Shi Tingxuan’s wild voice came from the fighters.
This made Qin Lao and the others’ faces turn dark—after all, the opponent was a student from the Main Academy. Couldn’t you talk less?
Across from them, Lu Zhiqian and Brother Shi’s complexions were ashen, while Senior Sister Gao radiated a murderous vibe.
But Shi Tingxuan wasn’t entirely single-minded. He cackled and said, "Why don’t you just burst out all your True Qi? I’ll surrender immediately if you do, come on, explode! Burst out shamelessly!"
Saying these things, of course, was to make sure the opponent wouldn’t dare to explode their True Qi; otherwise, it would be shameless.
Senior Sister Gao was nearly driven mad, wanting to burst out but not daring to...
Finally, her eyes flashed with a cold light, and suddenly a pitch-black sword appeared in her hands.
All at once, Demonic Qi soared in front of the Martial Arts Hall.
With a bang, the sheer aura of it fiercely forced Shi Tingxuan back.
Sister Gao then coldly pointed her Demon Sword and said, "Of course I don’t need to burst out all my True Qi. I can cut you in half right now."
As soon as this sword appeared, Lu Zhiqian and Brother Shi smiled; the Demon Sword was an existence that could save face.
Qin Lao and the others were greatly shaken by the formidable aura.
Sikong Jing, however, was stunned, staring straight at the sword in Senior Sister Gao’s hand. Wasn’t that the Demon Sword from the Drunk Dragon Sword Cave?
He had seen fakes before, but the one in Senior Sister Gao’s hand was the True Demon Sword.
Somewhat surprised, the Holy Dragon General Academy had actually repaired the Demon Sword and even entrusted it to Senior Sister Gao for use.
At that moment, Senior Sister Gao’s voice was chill as ice, "Go to hell."
As soon as the words fell, the Demon Sword, with its overwhelming Demonic force, was slashed towards Shi Tingxuan. It was clear Senior Sister Gao had no intention of sparing Shi Tingxuan’s life, and even though the sword was swung using the True Qi of the Xuanhe Realm, it was still terrifyingly ferocious.
Shi Tingxuan couldn’t possibly catch it. He smelled the scent of death.
Even now, he was standing stiffly in place, intimidated by the sword’s Demonic aura.
"Stop!" Just then, Qin Lao bellowed.
The aura of the Xuanhai Realm burst out mightily as he rushed to Shi Tingxuan’s front and met the Demon Sword with a heavy punch.
The brilliance of the Demon Sword instantly dissipated, but Qin Lao still stumbled several steps back, his face pale.
He stared at Senior Sister Gao in disbelief. He was of the Xuanhai Realm, and yet he had almost failed to catch the sword. Terrifying.
"Qin Lao, how dare you intervene."
At that moment, Lu Zhiqian stepped forward, his aura from the Xuanhai Realm crushing down on Qin Lao.
Seeing this, Chen Tong and the others quickly moved to Qin Lao’s side, and the two groups faced off.
However, Senior Sister Gao laughed coldly and said, "Junior Brother Lu, step back. Since they all want to die, I will oblige them."
After speaking, she looked at Qin Lao and said, "You’re of the Xuanhai Realm, then I will use the power of the Xuanjiang Realm to annihilate you."
As her words ended, her True Qi erupted to the Xuanjiang Realm. The aura of the Demon Sword in Senior Sister Gao’s hand grew fiercer and more intense, and she slashed out another sword stronger than the first one by several fold, with Demonic Qi flooding heaven and earth.
Qin Lao and the other Chiefs were aghast!
The surrounding onlookers also clutched their chests and retreated, feeling like their breaths would stop.
Finally, Qin Lao and the others simultaneously erupted their True Qi, collectively blasting at the descending Sword Qi of the Demon Sword, resulting in an exceedingly violent clashing sound. Qin Lao and the four Chiefs, including Shi Tingxuan as the secondary chief, all stepped back in unison.
And then they fell thump, thump to the ground.
Aside from Qin Lao, the strongest of them all, no one was able to stand anymore.
Senior Sister Gao once again scoffed coldly as she strode forward and said, "Do you see now?"
"This is the difference between our Main Academy and your Long Night Saint Dragon Palace."
"Now, since you several Chiefs have joined forces, I won’t suppress my True Qi any longer; I will use the strength of the Peak of Xuanhai Realm to cut you down."
Senior Sister Gao’s True Qi erupted fully, reaching her strongest realm, the Peak of the Xuanhai Realm!
But at that moment... swish swish swish.
Several figures flashed before Qin Lao and the others, clearly the instructors from the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace.
The leading instructor stared at Senior Sister Gao and said, "This far is enough, isn’t it, the three of you?"
With the situation having escalated to such intensity, of course, instructors had been attracted over.
But until now, they had not dared to intervene; they had no choice but to do so now, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Even facing the students from the Main Academy, the instructors’ tone was still filled with subservience and pleas, not daring to show any rebuke.
"Instructors? All of you, out of my way. Otherwise, don’t blame me for annihilating your Long Night Saint Dragon Palace," Senior Sister Gao said with an uncompromising coldness in her voice, making it clear she wouldn’t show any mercy and insisting on cutting them down.
The leading instructor bitterly smiled and said, "We are all from the Holy Dragon Academy; why must you push things to the extreme?"
"That’s right, there’s still the life-and-death battle with Xingluo Palace tomorrow, please stop now. You’ve already regained face," another instructor intervened, his tone still very weak.
Senior Sister Gao, however, was not satisfied. She spoke with an air of superiority, "I can hold back, but only if Qin Lao and the other Chiefs kneel and apologize. This Shi person must sever one arm and tear his mouth, as for that new student over there... He must die!"
The new student, of course, referred to Sikong Jing—it was he who had shredded her clothes, and this disgrace was unforgivable.
The instructors opened their mouths, finding Senior Sister Gao’s demands too extreme.
It was just an outer garment, and it’s not as if she was wearing nothing underneath. Is it necessary to demand someone’s life over it?
However, this new student didn’t seem very capable either; perhaps sacrificing him was an option, after all, without the students from the three Main Academy divisions, they definitely wouldn’t stand a chance against the Long Night Star Palace tomorrow.
Then all one hundred students would die.
All these instructors were from the Apprentice School Region, and they didn’t know what kind of person Sikong Jing was.
All they knew was that they had never seen him before.
"I will count to three. If you do not comply, my sword will descend," Senior Sister Gao said with a chilling voice, brimming with intent to kill.
No matter what, she was determined to trample the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace beneath her feet.
The instructors’ lips twitched slightly in frustration, their eyes hopelessly turning to Sikong Jing, as if to say it’s all your fault.
Sikong Jing’s eyes narrowed as he slowly walked to the very front before Qin Lao and the others, pointing at Senior Sister Gao and declaring, "Then try and strike down, let’s see if you can actually cut me down."
Upon hearing this, the instructors’ faces changed drastically; those words were absurd.
We’ve barely managed to say a few persuasive words, and now you’re stirring things up, looking for death without dragging others into it.
"Fine, fine, fine, so arrogant even when death is at hand. I’ll wipe you out right now."
Senior Sister Gao’s face was terrifyingly grim as the Demon Sword rose, carrying with it her powerful Xuanhai Realm True Qi soaring to the skies.
At that moment, everyone’s face changed; it was truly frightening.
Several ordinary instructors realized that even they might not be able to catch that sword strike.
Instructors from the Apprentice Institute, most of whom have only just reached the Daoist Martial Realm were terror-stricken, silently thinking that perhaps cutting down this Sikong person might appease the fury of the Main Academy.
As for Qin Lao and the others, they trembled violently; how could they withstand such Sword Qi?
