When Qing Yu's staff struck, Lu Yin's heart jumped. It was very familiar; this feeling was very similar to the Bai Ye Fist. He didn't think much, transforming his palm into a claw, unleashing the Seven Forms of Heavenly Beast Claw downwards.
Gules shot an arrow.
Ballaro, Bai Xue, and Granny acted simultaneously. Everyone joined forces to withstand Qing Yu's attack.
With a bang, everyone was sent flying back. Bai Xue, Granny, Gules, and Ballaro all vomited blood. Qing Yu's attack was too fierce; they were barely able to resist. Zhang Dingtian also retreated more than ten steps, each step leaving clear footprints on the ground. Only Lu Yin, with his back foot pressed into the earth, managed to block Qing Yu's staff, his body enduring unimaginable pressure.
The iron staff disappeared. Qing Yu stood ten meters away from Lu Yin, slightly surprised. "Your strength is not bad. Although I only retained the strength of the Enlightenment Realm, to be able to block my attack, you're not bad."
"Enlightenment Realm?" Huo Xiaoling and a few other disciples exclaimed. Even Yan Gang and others hiding in the shadows were surprised. Wasn't he a Fusion Realm expert?
Qing Yu laughed loudly, "A bunch of fools, believing whatever others say. If I were truly Fusion Realm, what would be the point of this trial? Would the Great Yu Empire send you to your deaths? Enlightenment Realm disciples naturally correspond to Enlightenment Realm trial missions. You can only blame yourselves for being too foolish and too weak."
In the shadows, Yan Gang roared and charged out, his palms striking each other to create flames. The flames transformed into a long spear, stabbing towards Qing Yu.
Gules shouted, "Fugitive, now! Capture him, the trial mission can be completed! Our performance will be seen by the Youth Council and the faculty of the Tenth Starry Sky Academy! Everyone, charge!"
Gules's words immediately had an effect. All the students who dared to come here were for the sake of completing the mission and for the Tenth Starry Sky Academy. No one would give up, especially when Yan Gang made his move, and everyone, unwilling to be weak, rushed out to attack Qing Yu one by one.
Qing Yu was very arrogant. If he hadn't revealed his Enlightenment Realm strength, most disciples wouldn't have dared to act. But he was too arrogant, not hiding anything. So what if he was Enlightenment Realm, no matter how strong, he could still be defeated.
Qing Yu laughed wildly, "A bunch of pathetic trash! Let me show you what a true powerhouse is! Let me show you the terror of the Bai Ye Clan!" With that, his long staff swept across, gleaming with black and white light. In an instant, several disciples were struck, two of them severed in half, blood splattering the ground. Only Yan Gang's fiery spear was shattered, his body sent reeling back more than ten steps. His face pale, he looked up and gasped, "Bai Ye Clan?"
Qing Yu swung his staff horizontally, and a terrifying wave of energy crushed the ground, causing countless cracks to appear. Hot red magma erupted and splattered onto the ground, and the sky became scorching hot.
Yan Gang's pupils constricted. The Bai Ye Clan... he was terrified.
Lu Yin told Zhang Dingtian and the others not to attack. Qing Yu dared to reveal his strength, proving that he was absolutely confident. This person was terrifying. Even if he went all out, he wouldn't be a match. The difference in the Enlightenment Realm was so great. Was this the Bai Ye Clan? He had never heard of them before the trial.
With a horrified cry, several bound disciples fell into a crevice. Bai Xue immediately acted, freezing the ground, thus saving a few people.
Qing Yu's staff slammed onto a disciple's long saber, shattering it and sending the disciple flying. His gaze turned to Bai Xue. "Ice talent? Woman, you're mine." With that, his body instantly vanished.
The next moment, he appeared in front of Bai Xue, reaching out to grab her. Lu Yin used the Wandering Step, barely appearing just as Bai Xue was about to be seized, unleashing a palm strike.
The three stars of Heavenly Star Palm immediately shattered, and the terrifying force blocked Qing Yu, who, unable to resist the repulsive force, sent Bai Xue flying.
Qing Yu was surprised, "What kind of battle technique is this?"
Lu Yin gritted his teeth, rapidly retreating. He was no match, absolutely no match. Even with only Enlightenment Realm strength, this Qing Yu far surpassed him.
Qing Yu sneered and immediately pursued, "Talented cultivator, strange battle technique, Lockdown Realm combat power. You've successfully piqued my interest. Interesting, haha!"
Suddenly, a vast power erupted from the field, soaring into the sky, sweeping away the clouds. The air current overturned everyone, including Lu Yin. In front, a strange man appeared before Qing Yu, his palms pressed into Qing Yu's abdomen. "Die!" With a thud, Qing Yu was sent flying, his body deeply embedded in the cliff.
Everyone stared blankly at this scene. Was this a Fusion Realm expert? A true Fusion Realm expert?
Lu Yin looked on in shock. This was true Fusion Realm strength; even Qing Yu couldn't react in time.
The suddenly attacking strange man, after sending Qing Yu flying, suddenly turned to attack Lu Yin, his eyes filled with cold killing intent.
No one expected this, Lu Yin himself didn't expect it. Why would this person attack him?
Facing the certain-kill strike of a Fusion Realm expert, Lu Yin's Heavenly Star Art circulated. He barely managed to discern the man's attack trajectory, his body darting sideways, narrowly avoiding it. The man's strike shattered the ground, and the residual effects caused several disciples to bleed, but this one strike failed; it didn't hit Lu Yin.
The man was surprised and was about to attack again when a beam of light from the sky enveloped him. His attack was abruptly interrupted, and the reflux of Star Energy injured him.
Everyone looked up. This was the Great Yu Empire's surveillance station taking action. In the trial, if a disciple broke their seal and entered the Fusion Realm, their qualification would be revoked. This person was clearly a Fusion Realm disciple, and was now forcibly expelled from the trial area.
Lu Yin panted heavily, his gaze sweeping over the forty-two captured students, finally settling on Las. Las's eyes were filled with malice, and a hint of regret. It was him. Among the many disciples, only a few were qualified to command a Fusion Realm expert, and the one who hated him the most must be Las.
Lu Yin clenched his fist, wanting to directly kill this menace. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and everyone looked at the cliff. Qing Yu walked out of the dust, his face grim, a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.
Many people's hearts sank. Even a full-power strike from a Fusion Realm expert couldn't kill him?
Qing Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at it, his eyes cold, a smile also playing on his lips. "Very good, willing to give up your performance to deal with me, not a bad awakening. Unfortunately, there won won't be a second time. A mere Fusion Realm wants to kill me? Dream on. Today, you all will die!" With that, he swung his staff, and the long staff covered the sky, sweeping across everyone with immense pressure. Several disciples were crushed to death on the spot.
Gules shouted, "He's injured! If we act now, we can still win!"
Yan Gang, Mo Nuo, and other sealed Fusion Realm experts immediately attacked Qing Yu.
Qing Yu laughed loudly, "Want to win? I'll make you cry!" With that, he simply waved his hand, and the distant ground overturned, revealing three bound figures.
Everyone stopped attacking and stared at the three figures, their eyes bewildered.
Only Zhang Dingtian and Bai Xue's expressions changed drastically. "Wang You, Tong Zhan, Liu Shaoge?"
Lu Yin also stared in surprise at the three. These three were all members of the Seven Sages of Huaxia, especially Wang You, one of the Top Three Sages. How could they be here? And Liu Shaoge, he was clearly captured as well.
Qing Yu smirked, a cruel smile on his face, looking at Lu Yin. "A mere ant dares to negotiate with me. Did you really think I gave you ten days to gather these wastes? I was gathering them! Anyone who dares to negotiate with me must die. Before you die, I will make you experience pain. Not just these three; your Huaxia capital, Jinling, Wucheng, all are experiencing beast tides. The apocalypse of this planet was also brought by me. So what? Can you do anything to me? Now, regret it!" With that, he simply waved his hand, and a fierce gust of wind swept by, dropping three severed heads.
Bai Xue's face immediately turned pale.
Zhang Dingtian's eyes widened instantly, he clenched his long saber and charged at Qing Yu.
Qing Yu sneered, his black and white hair fluttering. He pointed a finger, no one saw it clearly, Zhang Dingtian was pierced through his right chest by that finger, his body sent flying. Qing Yu actively attacked the numerous disciples, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, blood splattering the ground.
Bai Xue's eyes were crimson, she slammed a palm towards Qing Yu. Qing Yu flicked his finger, shattering the ice, then grabbed Bai Xue's long hair with one hand, taking a deep breath. "So fragrant, woman, you will be mine from now on." At this moment, Lu Yin's figure appeared, unleashing both the Heavenly Beast Claw with his left hand and the Heavenly Star Palm with his right. Qing Yu's eyes were stern. Among everyone here, only a few truly made him take them seriously, and Lu Yin was one of them, though only slightly.
Bai Xue was sent flying again. Lu Yin's Heavenly Beast Claw was broken by Qing Yu, and his Heavenly Star Palm collided with Qing Yu's finger. The stars burst, but still couldn't defeat a single finger. His right hand was pierced, and he retreated awkwardly.
All the disciples stared at Qing Yu in horror, this monster.
Yan Gang spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body bruised and trembling. This was a powerhouse of the Bai Ye Clan, a terrifying clan's disciple, transcending everyone else.
"Meaningless. I wanted to play a bit longer, but fine, let's end them." Qing Yu said calmly, standing on the ground, his gaze turning towards the direction of the captured students.
Beside the captured disciples, Gules and Ballaro had already fallen to the ground, their lives unknown. Instead, there was a handsome, gentle-eyed man.
Lu Yin clutched his bleeding right hand. Upon seeing the man, his face changed drastically. Liu - Shao - Ge?
