In the forest, Murong Yao stood proudly with his sword pointed towards Situ Rong. On the other hand, there were some ice-cold corpses on his side. These corpses naturally belonged to the disciples of the Sword Sect.
He, Murong Yao, was not a gentle and hesitant person. In the past, he had not taken action against Situ Rong due to considering the interests of the Sword Sect. But now that Situ Rong was intending to kill him, he would naturally not stubbornly follow the idea of considering the interests of the Sword Sect. As for their relationship as fellow disciples, only a truly foolish person would care about such a thing at a time like this!
Right now, Situ Rong looked at Murong Yao with a serious expression. He never imagined that after several collisions, the Sword Sect disciples by his side would perish due to Murong Yao's swift attack. Moreover, this swift attack from Murong Yao caused him to feel a hint of danger as well!
But in any case, Murong Yao must die!
When he thought up to here, the energy within Situ Rong's body began to circulate, and then a gust of strong wind appeared out of nowhere while the sword in his hand lit up. A light flickered on his sword while he raised his right hand slightly to point his sword towards Murong Yao. He said, “Murong Yao, I admit that I greatly underestimated you in the past. But it's okay because you will definitely die today!”
Murong Yao's eyebrows shot up as he said, “Why don't you try it?”
Situ Rong's pupils constricted, then his figure flashed and turned into a series of shadows that shot explosively towards Murong Yao. When he reached in front of Murong Yao, the sword in his hand swept swiftly to Murong Yao's neck.
Murong Yao's figure suddenly bent backwards as if his body was split in two, and he dodged Situ Rong's attack. After which, he knocked on the ground with the tip of his foot, and his figure looked like it was sliding as he retreated backwards for more than 10m.
Just as he was about to counterattack, his pupils suddenly shriveled as he looked towards the distance on the right. He said, “Who is it!?”
When he heard this, Situ Rong stopped and did not chase after him with another attack, then he looked towards the left.
“Indera very sharp!” Simultaneously with those words, a black-robed young man walked out from behind a tree.
The expressions of Situ Rong and Murong Yao changed when they saw this young man because it was Li Xianjun from the Ghost Sect!
Li Xianjun looked at Situ Rong and Murong Yao, then he smiled and said, “That's a shame. Originally I intended to watch fellow disciples of the Sword Sect kill each other. Unfortunately, I was noticed. You can both continue. I guarantee I won't interfere, okay?”
“Do you think we are idiots?” situ Rong said in a cold voice.
Li Xianjun shook his head and said, “That's a shame. I think I can only do it myself. Will you two fight me together or will you come to me one by one?”
When he spoke here, Li Xianjun paused for a moment, then he smiled and said, “You two better join forces. After I deal with the two of you, I can return to the Empire, otherwise, it will be difficult for me to give an explanation to the sect!”
“Really arrogance!” Situ Rong said in a disdainful tone, “Li Xianjun, I originally intended to go look for you, but I never imagined that you would come and give your life to me. Perfect, I will handle you and this demonic woman at once!”
As he heard Situ Rong, Murong Yao shook his head. Being stupid is not scary, it is scary when one is not aware of his own ignorance, and Situ Rong is such a person.
Li Xianjun chuckled, then he shook his head and said, “I never imagined such a freak would exist in the Sword Sect. Never mind, let me deal with you first!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xianjun twisted his wrist, and a black scythe appeared in his grasp. The scythe was extremely long, and its length was roughly the same as Li Xianjun's height. The fine thread of blood flowed endlessly at the edge of the scythe, and it was an extremely mysterious sight!
After a scythe appeared in his hand, Li Xianjun suddenly disappeared on the spot, and he transformed into a streak of black light that instantly reached in front of Situ Rong.
With a flick of his wrist, the black scythe shot towards Situ Rong's neck in a knitting motion!
Situ Rong gave a cold snort, and he used his sword to block the scythe. Yet….
Clangs!
The sound of metal shattering resounded, then the scythe continued into Situ Rong's neck without slowing down at all. Situ Rong was horrified. Fortunately, his reaction was not slow, and his figure shone quickly. But it's still a little late.
Hissing!
An ear carried a strand of blood as it flew into the air.
Li Xianjun did not continue another attack as a sword suddenly arrived behind him. His figure spun in place before his wrist moved once more, and the scythe made a hooking motion towards the sword that had arrived in front of him!
Clangs!
Murong Yao's expression changed. He tapped on the ground with the tip of his foot lightly, then his figure retreated swiftly to dodge the area of the sickle attack.
Li Xianjun still did not chase after him, and he simply turned to look at Situ Rong who had a savage expression and said, “I know you have a trump card, so you can use it now. Because if you still don't do it, you probably won't have another chance.”
Situ Rong took a deep breath before the profound energy within his body surged violently. At a certain moment, the energy in his body surged violently to his feet, and then his figure flashed and disappeared on the spot. His speed was so fast that it caused Li Xianjun and Murong Yao to be stunned on the spot….
Actually they were not stunned not because of Situ Rong's speed that was too fast, but because of Situ Rong's direction of motion. More precisely, Situ Rong had escaped…. Yes, the figure of Situ Rong flashed backwards explosively, and in less than a moment, he disappeared from both their views….
After a while, Li Xianjun shook his head and smiled before saying, “This is the representative of the younger generation of the Sword Sect?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to look towards Murong Yao and said, “Unfortunately, you just stayed behind to help him, and he has instead left you now! Actually, if you two join forces, then I will be forced to retreat! After all, your strength is actually not bad.”
“So, are you sure you can exterminate me now that I'm alone?” Murong Yao spoke indifferently. He did not think any further of Situ Rong's actions because he felt that being a disciple of the same sect with such a person was an insult!
Li Xianjun smiled and said, “Do you why I didn't chase after him?”
After he asked this question and before Murong Yao could answer him, he continued and said, “Because you are my goal. Even if he were to return to the Grand Qin Empire, he would mean nothing. But you're different. With your natural talent, then if you reach the ninth rank of the First Heaven Realm, even I will not be confident in my ability to defeat you! We may not be able to meet each other during the second round of the competition, so this is the best opportunity to deal with you!”
“Then how about we determine the result with one attack?” Murong Yao slowly raised his sword and pointed it at Li Xianjun.
The corner of Li Xianjun's mouth slightly lifted into a smile, and he said, “That's what I want!”
Murong Yao did not speak any further. His body gradually soared into the sky while a sword appeared in his grasp with a flick of his wrist, and then he gradually raised the sword while holding it with both hands. Suddenly, a gust of strong wind appeared. At the same time, the sword in his hand trembled violently as if something terrifying was about to attempt to break away from him!
Li Xianjun's eyes narrowed slightly while a glimmer of serious expression appeared in his eyes. His right hand moved slightly, causing the black scythe to tear through the air as it slowly lifted up. At the same time, his profound energy poured into it without end, causing the threads of blood on its edges to flow faster….
At a certain moment, a glimmer of ferocious expression appeared in Murong Yao's eyes, and then he forcefully slashed down towards Li Xianjun. “Thousand Layers!”
Thousand Layer, the low-level Earth Ranking technique of the Sword Sect. It emphasized on overlapping sword qi, and when it was developed to an advanced stage, a thousand strands of sword qi could overlap! Of course, the difficulty of achieving this was extremely high as it had strict requirements towards the sword speed of its user!
Simultaneously with a loud shout from Murong Yao, the sword in his hand slashed down, and it turned into countless shadows. At the same time, a snow-white strand of sword qi tore through the air, and let out a sharp whistle as it shot explosively towards Li Xianjun.
As he stared at the snow-white strand of sword qi, Li Xianjun's pupils constricted while his expression was extremely solemn. Because it was not a blade of sword qi but at least 100! In other words, this woman before him had instantly slashed 100 times with her sword! Such speed was terrifying!
He took a deep breath, and his figure revolved in a circle with the tip of his foot as his axis. After which, the scythe in his hand swept upwards obliquely. In an instant, the blood threads on the scythe left its sickle blade, and they shot explosively towards the snow-white strand of sword qi….
One is white and the other is blood red. They collided until the solemn gazes of Murong Yao and Li Xianjun collided.
After a moment of silence….
Bang out!
A huge explosion that shook the world rumbled and reverberated in the forest, and then waves of energy swept around like a tide. Wherever he passed by, all the trees instantly shattered into powder, and only chaos remained!
This was how terrifying the power of the Earth Ranking technique was!
On the other hand, as the one who became the center of the clash. Both of them were thrown flying when the energy wave swept over, and the distance was over 60m!
"HA-HA!!" Right at this moment, a roaring laughter suddenly resounded, and then Situ Rong who had left earlier suddenly returned to the battlefield.
As he gazed towards Murong Yao and the thrown Li Xianjun, Situ Rong's facial expression was very satisfied. He said, “Murong Yao fought fiercely with Li Xianjun of the Ghost Sect but was defeated and killed. On the other hand, Li Xianjun was killed by me, Situ Rong. Don't you two think this reason is perfect?”
