In addition, that Sword flashed once in Ao Cangsheng’s hand, and five Sword flowers burst forth with it.

Those three Swords were like lightning, rock, and fire. They were taken directly off the folding fan in Feng Xuyao’s hand. The remaining two Sword flowers spun once in midair, then stabbed toward Li Tianyue’s left side.

Seeing Ao Kangsheng try to launch a frontal assault, Feng Xuyao couldn’t help but curl a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

He knew very well the power of that strike of his.

With Ao Kangsheng’s level of strength, if he wanted to meet it head-on, it was like a praying mantis trying to stop a chariot, rushing to its death.

"Clang!"

Sure enough, as long as you listened to that resounding crash of metal on metal, you would know. Feng Xuyao’s folding fan instantly cut apart the three Sword flowers Ao Cangsheng had danced out. Without losing any momentum, it sliced toward Ao Cangsheng’s neck again.

At the same time, the Dragon Elephant Hammer on Li Tianyue’s left side smashed apart the other two Sword flowers and came crashing down toward Ao Cangsheng’s head.

Just as the two attacks were about to land on Ao Cangsheng, Ao Cangsheng’s retreat suddenly sped up.

Right before the two Soldiers could close in, he slipped out through the gap between them.

"What?!"

Seeing this bizarre scene, Feng Xuyao couldn’t help but cry out.

He had never expected that, in that flash of lightning, Ao Cangsheng could still escape.

However, Feng Xuyao was still Feng Xuyao. Though his heart was shaken with awe, in the very next instant, his folding fan folded once in the air and he chased after Ao Cangsheng again.

At the same time, Li Tianyue also hefted the Dragon Elephant Hammer to once more pursue Ao Cangsheng.

Seeing that Feng Xuyao and Li Tianrun had failed to kill Ao Kangsheng, the two allied Disciples who had been anticipating a bloody spectacle couldn’t help but feel a twinge of disappointment.

However, when they saw Feng Xuyao and Li Tianyue making another move, that disappointment was suddenly swept away.

"Kid, I have to say, your footwork is really something. Pity that, with just that, your life still can’t be saved!"

Feng Xuyao smiled wickedly and swiftly slashed down with the folding fan in his hand again. This time his target wasn’t Ao Kangsheng’s neck, but his face.

As long as that folding fan came down, half of Ao Cangsheng’s face would be sliced off on the spot.

On the other side, Li Tianyue raised the Dragon Elephant Hammer high, Qi surging, and smashed fiercely toward Cangsheng’s heart.

From the very beginning, the moves of these two had all been killing blows.

"Dang dang dang!"

A streak of Sword light appeared. In an instant, both the fan and the Dragon Hammer struck the Sword Shadow.

However, having learned from their previous lesson, Feng Xuyao and Li Tianrun left themselves two points of leeway this time. They were afraid Ao Cangsheng would suddenly slip away from the attack again.

Sparks flew everywhere. The fourteen arcs of Sword light Ao Cangsheng had chopped out were blasted to pieces by Feng Xuyao and Li Tianrun.

The tremendous impact force surged down the Sword body. The shock on Ao Kangsheng’s body made the just-moving Ao Kangsheng stagger uncontrollably, his face turning somewhat unsightly.

"Wah!"

Seeing Ao Kangsheng’s movement, the Disciples of Bright Pavilion and Qingshuang Hall exploded into cheers.

But the smiling wind, the icy water, and so on—everything became a fleeting tension for Ao Cangsheng.

At the start of the battle, Ao Cangsheng had already shown signs of decline. What about the remaining two hundred exchanges?

This was the first question in the hearts of Rong Xiaofeng, Shui Linhan, and the others.

Seeing Ao Cangsheng’s body totter, Feng Xuyao and Li Tianrun were not about to miss such a golden opportunity.

In an instant, the two of them kept flashing forward like mad, pouncing at Ao Cangsheng.

For a time, strong winds suddenly whipped across the platform, and the sounds of impact began roaring over it.

In that besieged struggle, Ao Cangsheng suddenly seemed to turn into a small boat, helplessly tossed about under the storm-like barrage.

Those who had been pessimistic about Ao Kangsheng, after seeing this scene, completely lost their confidence in him.

After enduring such a ferocious, thunderous onslaught—

He only wanted to see what those two fellows, who fancied themselves the academy’s super geniuses, would look like after being killed by his hand.

Seven arcs of light flashed down from the sky. A moment later, they appeared a foot in front of Ao Cangsheng’s arm.

At this moment, all of the spectators widened their eyes, wanting to see how Ao Cangsheng’s arm would be chopped off by Feng Xuyao.

"Clang!"

Just as everyone was waiting, a massive Sword Shadow suddenly flashed out in front of Ao Cangsheng.

The Sword Shadow shone bright, like the vast Galaxy. With a sweep of that shadow, heaven and earth were torn by a raging gale.

With a momentum to annihilate everything, the massive Sword Shadow suddenly shattered the seven arcs of light appearing before Ao Cangsheng.

The light arcs broke, and the terrifying Sword Shadow surged in, chopping straight toward Feng Xuyao five zhang away.

Seeing this, Feng Xuyao was stunned. He truly had not expected that, even in such chaos, Ao Cangsheng could still unleash such a Sword.

In the distance, Feng Xuyao had already sensed the power of this Sword Shadow.

In his haste, Feng Xuyao had no time to think. The fan in his hand suddenly split out eighteen arcs of light front and back to block the Sword Shadow.

"Boom!"

However, the instant those eighteen light arcs burst out, they were smashed apart by the Sword Shadow.

After twice shattering Feng Xuyao’s offensive, Li Dao’s Sword Shadow had already cleaved seven or eight times. In the end, even Feng Xuyao’s protective barrier could hardly be maintained.

In a flash, a sharp pain racked Feng Xuyao’s entire body, as if a small mountain had collapsed onto him, and his body was instantly blasted sliding back more than three zhang.

When Feng Xuyao finally managed to stand still, the cold expression on his face had turned into deep shock and fear.

This had all happened in but an instant, so Li Tianyue had no chance to help him.

After Feng Xuyao was sent flying back three zhang, Li Tianyue suddenly snapped back to his senses.

Like Feng Xuyao, at this moment, the pride of the past was no longer on Li Tianrun’s face; there was only deep fear and shock.

Silence. At this moment, the Martial Arts arena suddenly became deathly quiet.

The spectators of the battle all seemed to be struck dumb with awe, not even daring to breathe.

No one had imagined that Ao Cangsheng, who had been about to die with no burial place, would suddenly launch such a fierce counterattack.

How powerful was this attack? No one could say for sure.

However, judging from how Feng Xuyao had been blasted back on the spot, it was likely even the Disciples of Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School would be unable to withstand the force of this blow.

"Thud!"

With a heavy footstep, those spectators who had been deeply shocked finally woke from their stupor.

Thus, for a time, the Martial Arts arena that had fallen silent boiled over once more.

"Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Was Feng Xuyao actually forced back by the Sword?"

"I never would’ve believed Ao Kangsheng could unleash such a strike."

"Judging from the power of that Sword, it won’t be easy for Feng Xuyao to defeat Ao Kangsheng!"

"Of course, that’s assuming Ao Cangsheng can still use the Sword now. Otherwise, in front of Feng Xuyao and Li Tianrun, he’ll still die!"

"Good! The top three on the Heavenly Dragon List aren’t just for show!"

Just as such discussions were heating up, they quickly faded away.

The reason was none other than him. That young man in white, who had been in such dire straits just moments ago, had already straightened up and was preparing to fight again.

"You, and you—come at me together!"

Ao Cangsheng pointed at Feng Xuyao, then at Li Tianyue. He spoke with a cold smile, his tone as light as wind and clouds.

For some reason, upon hearing this, a chill involuntarily rose in the hearts of both Feng Xuyao and Li Tianrun.

"Looks like you’re in a hurry to die! Fine, I’ll oblige you!"

Feng Xuyao sneered as he spoke, intentionally goading so that the long-lived one wouldn’t suspect he and Li Tianrun were about to strike together.

As he spoke, his eyes blinked rapidly, secretly signaling Li Tianyue to get ready.

After that signal, Feng Xuyao and Li Tianrun charged out at the same time, not waiting for Ao Cangsheng to move again. The weapons in their hands suddenly whirled madly, all their arcs of light chopping down toward Ao Kangsheng.
