However, Lin Yi stood unmovable in his place, like an embodiment of a Golden Bell.
Without any fancy motion, he swung his sword, condensing a mighty Sword Formation into a point that thrust horizontally!
The storm of spear light, like fabric, was torn apart, and the sword light directly targeted Murong Tiansheng’s heart.
Murong Tiansheng was startled, hurriedly positioning the Fangtian Halberd in front of him, barely blocking Lin Yi’s strike.
Sparks flew everywhere, and Murong Tiansheng staggered several steps backward, his face rapidly turning ashen.
"Did Senior Brother Murong actually get pushed back by this kid?"
Those Martial Arts Academy students who were watching showed incredulous expressions. If the first was a probe, surely this spear should have been a formal attack—how could he be at a disadvantage?
Lin Yi having pushed back Murong Tiansheng, a slight smile curved on Lin Yi’s lips, "It seems the number one Heavenly Pride of the academy is nothing more than this."
Being directly mocked by Lin Yi, Murong Tiansheng was completely infuriated, "This spear will kill you!"
As his words fell, veins bulged violently on Murong Tiansheng’s body, and he no longer held back. Instantly, the Fangtian Halberd in his hand grew with the wind, extending a terrifyingly long Spear Light of seventy to eighty meters long, furiously cleaving towards Lin Yi!
How ferocious was this spear strike, like an erupting volcano, such terrifying power directly caused the ground beneath Lin Yi’s feet to crack inch by inch!
And the Martial Arts Academy students near Lin Yi and Murong Tiansheng were instantly flung away by this force.
Such was the terror of one spear!
Under that spear, Lin Yi felt as though the air around his entire body had solidified!
However, Lin Yi’s eyes flickered with a sharp light, and in the next moment, the Meteor Sword trembled fiercely, transforming into a streak of rainbow light soaring upwards!
In the sword, it contained full Sword Intent and Sword Formation, seemingly boundless!
The sword light collided with the Spear Light, causing an explosion!
The several-meter-long Spear Light was instantly shattered, with countless energy fragments scattering all around.
Those Martial Arts Academy students, unable to dodge, were hit by the dense energy fragments, each screaming continually as blood splattered on the spot!
Murong Tiansheng’s expression darkened, and he desperately struck with his spear to fend off the Meteor Sword, but at that moment, Lin Yi suddenly appeared behind the Meteor Sword, grasped its hilt, and fiercely slashed forward!
The Fangtian Halberd in Murong Tiansheng’s hand shook unstably and was knocked out of his grasp!
Murong Tiansheng was greatly frightened, but Lin Yi’s sword light had already lightning-quick cleaved onto his body, sending him flying!
With a scream, a bloody wound was gashed across Murong Tiansheng’s chest, quite gruesome!
Glancing at the bloodstains on his chest, Murong Tiansheng’s eyes were filled with horror; had he not been wearing a Ghost Level Inner Armor, that strike would have taken his life!
However, not giving him a chance to regain his footing, Lin Yi advanced forward again, another sword strike lightning-fast!
But just then, a Martial Arts Academy Elder from the Longshan Empire suddenly appeared in front of Lin Yi, gazing coldly at him, "Get lost!"
With those words, he threw a palm strike directly at Lin Yi!
At that moment, a young figure suddenly appeared by Lin Yi’s side!
The newcomer was a handsome young Martial Artist in his late twenties, who intercepted the strike from the Martial Arts Academy Elder for Lin Yi!
Accompanied by a muffled sound, the young Martial Artist and the Martial Arts Academy Elder simultaneously staggered backward!
"It’s you, Lu Shaoyou!"
The Martial Arts Academy Elder stared intently at the young Martial Artist in front of him—it was indeed Lu Shaoyou, the eldest son of the General Mansion’s Lu Family!
But just then, he suddenly saw a figure sprinting behind him!
His face abruptly changed, he quickly turned around, only to see Lin Yi had already slashed Murong Tiansheng to the ground with another sword; the latter was now in grave danger!
The Martial Arts Academy Elder shouted, "Murong Tiansheng is the top Heavenly Pride of our Dragon Mountain Empire Martial Arts Academy. If you dare kill him, our Academy will not let you—"
However, before he could finish his sentence, Lin Yi’s Meteor Sword had already fallen.
Murong Tiansheng’s head was chopped into two pieces.
Lin Yi flashed a grin at the Martial Arts Academy Elder, "What nonsense are you thinking?"
Now between him and the Academy, it was either him or me!
Let Murong Tiansheng go?
Allow this kid to train for a few more years and come back for revenge?
What was this old man thinking?
Did he look like someone who would do such a foolish thing?
Since it had come down to a fight to the death, why waste words? Just kill him and be done with it!
Seeing Murong Tiansheng die by Lin Yi’s sword, the face of the Martial Arts Academy Elder turned extremely ugly; his eyes fixed menacingly on Lin Yi as if he wanted to devour him alive.
Murong Tiansheng was, after all, the number one Heavenly Pride of the Dragon Mountain Empire Martial Arts Academy!
The entire Academy had placed great hopes on Murong Tiansheng, without a doubt, he was meant to be a mainstay for the Academy!
But now, he had been killed by this young upstart Lin Yi!
Even Lu Shaoyou, at this moment, was looking at Lin Yi with admiration, clearly not expecting Lin Yi to have resolved Murong Tiansheng so cleanly, without even blinking an eye.
"Truly worthy of being praised by my sister—decisive in action."
"Brother Lin Yi, well killed! Rest assured, as long as the Lu Family exists, the Dragon Mountain Empire Martial Arts Academy cannot touch you!"
Lin Yi gave Lu Shaoyou a bow with cupped hands.
"Damn scum! Don’t think that even the Royal Family of the Dragon Mountain Empire can protect you!"
The Martial Arts Academy Elder stared coldly at Lin Yi and Lu Shaoyou, "Today you both will die!"
A cold flash crossed Lu Shaoyou’s eyes, and in a flash, he appeared in front of the elder with a sword strike that sent him flying!
This scene somewhat surprised Lin Yi; Lu Shaoyou’s strength seemed much greater than Lu Li’s, even though the Martial Arts Academy Elder was at the Ninth Layer Grandmaster Realm, he seemed so weak in front of Lu Shaoyou!
But as the Martial Arts Academy Elder was blasted away, he suddenly screamed, "Murong Tiansheng was killed by Lin Yi! Someone avenge him!"
His words, propelled by True Qi, quickly spread throughout the entire Shu City, reaching everyone’s ears.
"Murong Tiansheng was killed?"
Instantly, a huge commotion erupted throughout Shu City, shocking both those who knew and those who did not know Lin Yi.
Murong Tiansheng, the top Heavenly Pride of the Dragon Mountain Empire Martial Arts Academy, this young genius renowned throughout the entire empire had been killed in this battle?
Vice Dean Wen Shouren of the Martial Arts Academy, upon hearing this, his face immediately turned exceedingly grim. The battle had just begun, and his Dragon Mountain Empire Martial Arts Academy had already lost a key figure. Although Murong Tiansheng’s strength was not the strongest, he was the chief Heavenly Pride, and his fall would undoubtedly deliver a heavy blow to the morale of the Dragon Mountain Empire Martial Arts Academy!
