Enraged, Qin Xian broke free from Ge Qing’s Primordial Energy restraint in an instant!

A wild aura rampaged through the heavens!

The commotion here immediately drew everyone’s attention.

In a flash, all cultivators’ gazes converged on Qin Xian.

Those who had been closely watching the arena naturally knew what had just happened.

The disciples of the Six Yang Academy were clearly targeting the disciples of the Great Xia Sword Sect, not giving them any chance to concede defeat.

They were trying by all means to kill or severely injure the disciples of the Great Xia Sword Sect.

However, such incidents were not uncommon during the Centennial competition among a hundred Sects.

After all, severely injuring a disciple would be advantageous in the subsequent battles for points.

Even if the benefits were not immediately apparent.

For example, if the Six Yang Academy could severely injure three disciples of the Great Xia Sword Sect during the duel, it was highly likely that the Great Xia Sword Sect would falter the next day. Even if the disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage won all their matches, they couldn’t ensure a lead in points.

Thus, many Sects would choose to injure their opponents by any means necessary!

The surrounding area erupted in a buzz of intense discussion about the matter.

Some people felt there was no issue, while others argued that pursuing and severely injuring a disciple was a bit too much and dishonorable.

At this moment, an Elder of the Six Yang Academy arrived, stepping through the Void. The old man in white spoke in a deep voice.

“Qin Xian, don’t go too far!”

“These are matters for the younger generation on the arena; why must you flaunt your power here?”

Qin Xian’s anger surged, and he drew his sword from his waist, ready to strike!

Suddenly!

The sky above the Void twisted slightly, and a phantom figure appeared.

Long Qu looked indifferently at Qin Xian, who immediately trembled like a sieve!

Then Long Qu turned to Ge Qing and spoke slowly, his voice devoid of joy or sorrow.

“Has anyone broken the rules?”

Ge Qing bowed deeply, not daring to conceal anything, and said solemnly: “Reporting to the Northern Heavenly King, everything is within the rules!”

Long Qu sneered and then waved his hand lightly.

Boom!!

A gigantic Primordial Energy palm imprint, tens of meters in size, appeared in the Void and slammed down on Qin Xian!!

The old man didn’t even dare to put up a protective Primordial Energy barrier.

He let the palm imprint send him flying hundreds of meters!

Qin Xian, who had just stabilized himself in the sky after being sent back hundreds of meters, couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood as his internal energy churned.

Long Qu on the throne in the sky withdrew his gaze, his eyes cold as he softly said.

“Resolve matters on the stage, on the stage.”

“If anyone else is dissatisfied, they may withdraw from the competition.”

Qin Xian didn’t dare to utter another word, only suppressing the anger in his heart and bowing slightly towards the phantom in the sky.

At this time, the Elder of the Six Yang Academy turned around with a mocking smile on his lips.

But Li Guanqi keenly noticed that the old man paused slightly when he looked in a certain direction!

Although the pause was less than half a breath, he was certain that the old man had glanced at someone!

Following the old man’s gaze, Li Guanqi didn’t notice anything unusual.

Li Guanqi frowned slightly and murmured, “Could I have been mistaken?”

Li Guanqi immediately leaped down from the platform and came to the old man’s side, asking in a deep voice, “Elder Qin, are you alright?”

Qin Xian shook his head slightly, his eyes sharp as he looked towards the few arenas that were still in the midst of competition.

Then, with a piercing gaze, he scanned the surroundings, but like Li Guanqi, he didn’t find anything unusual.

The old man transmitted his voice solemnly: “Guanqi, be extra careful in the upcoming matches!”

“These people are not like those in previous years who would just injure our Sect’s disciples.”

“They must have a purpose in wanting to put us to death!”

“The disciples of the Six Yang Academy are aiming for lethal points with their strikes!”

Li Guanqi’s gaze fell on the severely injured disciples of the Great Xia Sword Sect, their injuries were shocking to behold!

Had it not been for the rich combat experience of the Great Xia Sword Sect’s disciples, who managed to concede defeat at critical moments to avoid worse injuries, perhaps…

Li Guanqi took a deep breath and slowly rose into the air.

His gaze focused on Ye Feng and the others, noticing that their battles were extremely tense at the moment.

They had all smartly chosen not to let their opponents gain distance from the start.

Therefore, the current situation in the arena was still evenly matched.

After all, Li Guanqi had been quite harsh on them, not to mention the presence of the particularly annoying Gao Qiwen.

The disciples fighting against Zhong Lin and Lin Dong were also severely affected.

These people had no sense of martial ethics in their attacks!

They would take any opportunity to strike a low blow, whether it was a kick to the groin or a thrust to the eyes or throat!

The lime powder hidden in their sleeves caused them to curse loudly.

As for Lin Qingyu on another side, she seemed to have the upper hand, continuously suppressing the disciple from the Six Yang Academy.

However, Lin Qingyu was nearly deceived and almost slain on the spot by that disciple!

Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough to concede defeat on the spot!

A flash of blue light shattered the disciple’s long sword, and with a venomous glare at Lin Qingyu, he turned and left.

Lin Qingyu’s chest heaved violently, still shaken by the close call.

On another arena, a disciple from Heavenly Gold Peak in the late Foundation Establishment stage was striking with fierce and powerful sword moves.

Li Guanqi remembered his name was Yu Ye, who had joined two years earlier than him and was a common figure under the Great Thousand Waterfall.

Yu Ye’s physical strength was also terrifying, with deadly moves flashing with cold light in every strike!

His footwork was exquisitely agile, always keeping close to the female cultivator from the Six Yang Academy!

Their close-quarters combat was intensely fierce, with sword light blossoming in a small space.

Yu Ye’s expression was resolute, not hesitating in the slightest because his opponent was a female cultivator.

Clang, clang, clang!!

The woman frowned slightly, and with a powerful burst of energy, she swept away Yu Ye’s sword in front of her.

Retreating, she shouted, “Five Suns! Body like a Swallow!”

However, just as the woman was forcefully flipping through the ancient book beside her.

Yu Ye, ten meters away, suddenly gripped his sword with both hands, and a majestic and heavy sword intent rose from the ground!

His muscles bulged as he stomped down fiercely!

Bang!! Crack, crack!!

The flagstones shattered as Yu Ye’s figure shot up at an extremely fast speed!!

Clang!! Bang!!

The woman had just moved when she suddenly collided with the incoming Yu Ye!

As she blocked with her sword, a sound of unbearable strain rang out.

Yu Ye’s sword in hand, he swiftly struck four consecutive times!!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!

Blood blossomed from the woman’s limbs!

“Ugh…”

Thud!

The female cultivator let out a muffled groan, her face pale as she knelt before Yu Ye!

Yu Ye, in his white robe, was marked with several sword wounds, the blood staining much of his garment red.

Clang!

Yu Ye’s eyes calm, he sheathed his sword and stood, then slowly turned and leaped down from the platform.

When he saw Li Guanqi, he couldn’t help but grin, somewhat resembling Lin Dong.

Li Guanqi said with a smile, “Congratulations to my senior brother for the enlightenment.”

Yu Ye replied with a soft laugh, “I must also thank my junior brother for the generous guidance.”

The two exchanged smiles, and Li Guanqi himself hadn’t expected Yu Ye to be so perceptive. He had only made a casual remark, yet it had led to an epiphany.

Boom, crackle, crackle!!

On another high platform, the elusive Gu Ran was casting the Spirit Spell Thunder Whip twice in succession!
