Chapter 1453: Bloodshed on the Street!

"Swish!"

Qin Pei was fully focused on dealing with the Nether Ghost Claw when suddenly his scalp tingled, and an extremely dangerous sensation surged into his heart.

Ye Yuan's figure turned into a streak of light, stabbing toward Qin Pei at an inconceivably fast speed.

This was too sudden, Ye Yuan's speed too fast—so fast that no one had time to react.

The sense of crisis from behind was even stronger than that of the Nether Ghost Claw!

Without time to turn around, Qin Pei struck back with his sword.

At the same time, he slapped his palm backward toward the Nether Ghost Claw.

Qin Pei's reaction could not be called slow, but Ye Yuan's speed was even faster!

"Clang!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Ye Yuan and Qin Pei almost simultaneously spat out a mouthful of blood, and Ye Yuan's figure flew backward.

However, Qin Pei was far worse off than Ye Yuan.

The coordination between Guiyun and Ye Yuan required no words to convey.

As soon as Ye Yuan moved, Guiyun understood his intent and shifted the focus of his attack onto Qin Pei.

How could Qin Pei's hastily thrown palm withstand a strike from the Nether Ghost Claw?

Attacked from both sides, he was severely wounded in an instant.

This scene happened too fast and too suddenly; Lin Xiu and Qin Zheng had no time to react.

By the time they did, Qin Pei was already gravely injured and unable to fight.

It was also because Guiyun had diverted most of Qin Pei's strength that Ye Yuan's injuries were not too severe.

Otherwise, given Qin Pei's strength at the Great Perfection of the Insight Heaven realm, a direct clash with him would have left Ye Yuan either dead or severely wounded.

Without the boost of the Thunderbolt Speed Talisman, Ye Yuan was still somewhat fragile before a Great Perfection Insight Heaven expert.

However, Ye Yuan paid no heed to his injuries. The moment he hit the ground, he swung his longsword and charged back again!

"Chasing the Moon!"

This move, Ye Yuan had borrowed from Jin Yu's earlier move, the Stirring and Resounding.

Jin Yu's move, using the momentum of a swing, was executed in one breath and was almost impossible to counter.

Now, Ye Yuan's move was different, but the swing had a similar effect.

The opportunity was fleeting; Ye Yuan did not want to give Qin Pei a chance to catch his breath.

"Swish!"

Ye Yuan once again turned into a streak of light, shooting toward Qin Pei like lightning.

At this moment, Qin Pei was sent flying by the two heavy blows and had not yet landed.

His internal organs were still in turmoil, and he never expected Ye Yuan to strike again at this moment.

"Pfft!"

The Evil-Slaying Sword pierced through Qin Pei's chest without any surprise!

Qin Pei's eyes bulged wide; even in death, he could not believe that Ye Yuan had killed him.

But Ye Yuan would not give him a chance!

Qin Pei's eyes gradually glazed over, but his eyes refused to close.

He died with regret!

How could an Insight Heaven initial stage cultivator kill him, a Great Perfection Insight Heaven existence?

"This... what just happened? Ye Yuan's sword technique was too fast; I only saw a blurry afterimage!"

"So... so strong! Ye Yuan used only two strikes to slay a Great Perfection Insight Heaven expert! Although it was with the help of that evil spirit, this achievement is enough to shock the entire city!"

"This must be a dream! A dream! Qin Pei was a favored son of heaven, capable of sweeping through peers of the same rank, yet he was killed by an Insight Heaven initial stage cultivator!"

...

Originally, in everyone's eyes, Ye Yuan's provocation was just a farce.

But no one expected this farce to turn into a bloody street slaughter.

Guiyun's strength was indeed formidable, but facing three peerless geniuses, he was forced to use ghostly aura to barely hold his own.

If the fight dragged on, he would inevitably run out of steam.

But Ye Yuan's abrupt entry into the battle instantly reversed the situation.

From Ye Yuan's appearance to his killing of three people, it took no more than half an hour.

Everything happened too fast; before anyone could react, the battle was already mostly over.

With Ye Yuan disposing of Qin Pei, the pressure on Guiyun immediately lessened.

With his current strength, he was sure to win in a one-on-one fight with Lin Xiu.

Adding Qin Zheng, they could barely fight him to a draw.

But there was also Ye Yuan nearby, who could threaten them!

Ye Yuan's Chasing the Moon was too fast, impossible to defend against.

Once Ye Yuan seized an opportunity, they were dead.

"Pfft!"

Ye Yuan pulled back the Evil-Slaying Sword and turned his gaze to the battlefield again.

Qin Pei collapsed limply to the ground, never understanding what had happened even in death.

As if feeling Ye Yuan's icy gaze, Lin Xiu and Qin Zheng both appeared somewhat flustered, and Guiyun, controlling the ghost claw, immediately gained the upper hand.

"Swoosh!"

How could Ye Yuan waste such a good opportunity? He unhesitatingly launched Chasing the Moon!

He once again turned into a blur; this time, his target was Qin Zheng!

"Clang!"

Prepared, Qin Zheng's response was much more adequate than Qin Pei's.

He swung his longsword and barely managed to clash with Ye Yuan.

"Pfft!"

The powerful strength of a Great Perfection Insight Heaven expert caused him to be injured again.

But Qin Zheng was not faring well either; Guiyun took advantage of this opportunity to firmly gain the upper hand.

Ye Yuan did not pause at all. Enduring the injuries to his internal organs, he launched Chasing the Moon again!

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

Flashes of cold light streaked by, making everyone's hearts pound.

With each attack, Ye Yuan spat out blood.

Clearly, he was fighting for his life!

Ye Yuan was in a bad state, but Qin Zheng was even worse.

Ye Yuan's attacks were not impulsive; each one nearly made Qin Zheng vomit blood.

He narrowly avoided the Nether Ghost Claw's attacks several times, but the powerful laws still left him severely injured.

Qin Zheng's injuries were far more serious than Ye Yuan's!

"What a deep grudge! Ye Yuan is going all out, practically trading life for life!"

"Hey, I heard that Qin Tian ostensibly went on a training trip, but actually went to hunt Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan and the Qin family have long been irreconcilable!"

"Is Ye Yuan going to kill all the geniuses of Wumeng Academy today? I wonder what Wumeng Academy and the Qin family will do when they hear the news!"

"Ye Yuan is still too reckless! The Qin family is deeply rooted in Wumeng Royal City; even if Ye Yuan has the support of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, it probably won't help."

...

The crowd watched the desperate Ye Yuan, each exclaiming in amazement.

But they did not know that Ye Yuan was fighting so desperately not for himself, but to give Little Fatty an explanation!

The more Lin Xiu fought, the more alarmed she became. Both Guiyun and Ye Yuan were too terrifying.

Her strength was ranked second in the academy, and Qin Zheng was also in the top five.

Yet facing the combination of Guiyun and Ye Yuan, they had no power to fight back!

"No! If this continues, I'll be dragged down by them too. I must find a way to return to the academy!" Lin Xiu thought to herself.

Just then, Ye Yuan struck again, and Guiyun, to coordinate with Ye Yuan, shifted the focus of his attack to Qin Zheng.

Lin Xiu made a prompt decision, feinted with her sword, and retreated swiftly, breaking away from the battle!
