When that pale sword light streaked across the sky.
In everyone's eyes, it seemed that the only thing left was the sword that seemed to be able to cut through the sky.
The majesty of that sword made them feel frightened and amazed at the same time.
The aura that seemed to destroy the sky gave them a little enlightenment in their hearts, and their understanding of their own path deepened a bit.
Isn't the end point of the journey of cultivation to destroy the sky?
If the sky crushes me, I will kill the sky!
This is the ultimate in martial arts!
"I didn't expect that the sword struck by that little guy could be so stunning."
The great elder sighed sincerely.
Even he had to be impressed by this sword.
"Even the wisp of violent ape spirit couldn't reduce the power of this sword by even half. It's really terrifying."
The second elder also touched his beard and smiled.
Ye Qingchen's ability to use such a stunning sword shows that his potential is far greater than they imagined!
Once he is well trained, he will definitely become the strongest pillar of Xuanyu Academy in the future!
"Fortunately...his sword was only directed at the ape spirit and did not affect Mengba."
The fifth elder could not help but feel relieved when he saw Mengba who was still intact.
However, at this moment, Mengba stood there with dull eyes, looking at the shadow of the ape that was cut into two halves and then gradually dissipated.
He didn't understand at all.
Why did I use my last and most powerful trump card?
But still can't kill Ye Qingchen?!
With endless despair in his heart, Mengba seemed to have exhausted all his strength and suddenly collapsed on the ground.
The appearance he showed made the onlookers feel unbearable.
They all understand.
After using his strongest move, he failed to cause even a trace of damage to the opponent.
How desperate must this be?
"Huh...huh..."
After using the [Sword that Cuts the Sky], Ye Qingchen was panting like an ox and couldn't raise any strength in his body.
This sword consumes too much money.
If he hadn't consumed too much energy before using this sword.
I'm afraid that at this last moment, he will die under the ape spirit's fists.
Ye Qingchen forced himself to stand up straight, walked to Mengba step by step, and looked at him condescendingly.
"Do you know why I didn't kill you just now?"
Ye Qingchen spoke lightly.
Immediately he gave his own answer: "Because I have said it before."
"I want to ruin your reputation first, and then die in my hands!"
Ye Qingchen's words made Mengba's body, which had no strength at all, suddenly tremble.
He raised his eyes in horror, and his voice became trembling.
"no, do not want……"
Looking down at Meng Ba's pitiful appearance begging for mercy, Ye Qingchen felt even more disgusted and kicked him away!
Bang!!
Mengba was kicked straight to the edge of the competition platform!
"Ye Qingchen! What are you doing?!"
The fifth elder shouted in shock and anger, and immediately flew in front of Mengba.
"He no longer has the ability to continue fighting. He has already lost this competition. Why do you still humiliate him like this!"
The fifth elder asked in anger, which also aroused doubts in the hearts of everyone present.
From the very beginning, Ye Qingchen showed his targeting towards Mengba.
Now, after Mengba was defeated, he was still being humiliated severely!
What happened between the two of them?!
"It seems that as a master, you don't know what 'good things' he has done."
Ye Qingchen smiled sarcastically and looked back at Liu Juefeng who was beside Wen Hengting.
Upon meeting Ye Qingchen's gaze, Liu Juefeng's face suddenly turned pale, and she tried her best to hide behind Wen Hengting.
When Wen Hengting saw this scene, he seemed to have remembered something, and his face couldn't help but change slightly.
"Since you are all curious about why I targeted him like this, let me answer it for you."
Ye Qingchen pointed at Mengba, and his voice suddenly turned cold.
"Fifteen days ago, I was tricked and lured out of Xuanyu Academy and left Yunfeng City."
"In a forest a few miles away from Yunfeng City, I encountered an assassination attempt from Yousha Pavilion!"
"ah!!"
There was an exclamation of surprise all around!
Ning Suyan's pretty face turned pale in the preparation table, her eyes suddenly turned to Mengba behind the fifth elder, and her eyes became cold.
They have all heard of the name of Yousha Pavilion.
It is said that no one who is targeted for assassination will survive!
"Could it be that you want to say that Mengba hired a killer from Yousha Pavilion to assassinate you?"
"Oh, how ridiculous!"
The fifth elder said coldly: "Mengba has no enmity with you, so why would he hire an assassin to assassinate you?"
Ye Qingchen's eyes turned leisurely to Liu Juefeng at the elders' table.
"Then you have to ask him."
For a moment, all the eyes of the audience were focused on Liu Juefeng.
"It's not me! It's not me! I have nothing to do with this!"
Liu Juefeng was so frightened that he almost peed when everyone's eyes were on him.
He quickly pointed at Mengba and said in a panic:
"He came up with all this! He is the mastermind of this! He wanted to invite the assassins from Yousha Pavilion to assassinate Ye Qingchen!"
Hearing this, the face of the fifth elder changed drastically.
"Haha, indeed, you are not the mastermind of this matter."
Ye Qingchen sneered: "But can you guarantee that you really didn't say anything like wanting to kill me in front of Mengba?"
"I……"
Liu Juefeng was immediately speechless.
"I seem to have heard that you and Mengba have a quarrelsome relationship. It's completely normal that you want to use his hand to kill me."
Ye Qingchen turned to look at Mengba who was lying on the ground with a look of despair and decadence.
"And he himself might also have thoughts of killing me."
"After all, the strength I have shown has completely shaken his position, and it is very likely that I will replace him."
"Under such circumstances, it is even more reasonable for him to regard me as a thorn in his side and want to get rid of me."
"etc!"
The fifth elder frowned and said, "These are just your one-sided words, there is no substantive evidence at all!"
"If you don't provide enough evidence, then you are slandering my disciple!"
After the fifth elder finished speaking, Mengba's expression behind him suddenly changed, and he looked at the back of the fifth elder with trembling eyes.
Everyone came to their senses.
Yes! These are just Ye Qingchen’s words!
If there is not enough evidence, Ye Qingchen's move is slandering Mengba!
According to the rules of the inner court, you will be severely punished!
Hearing this, Ye Qingchen suddenly smiled.
He really couldn't produce any evidence.
He killed both the black and white demons, and their bodies were still hanging in the forest, and it was unknown which monster took them away.
Even if he can search for Mengba's soul, the authenticity of the memories after the search will be greatly compromised when spoken from his mouth.
But what if someone with enough status and integrity were to search for Mengba's soul?
Then there will definitely not be much doubt about what he said!
"Since no one believes me, why not ask the Great Elder to search for Mengba's soul?"
Ye Qingchen smiled and said: "If the Great Elder finds out after searching his soul that he did not hire a killer to assassinate me, then no matter how the academy wants to punish me, I have no objection at all."
"But if what the great elder learned after searching for souls is true, everything I said is true..."
His words changed suddenly, and his voice suddenly became cold:
"Then I will definitely kill him with my own hands!"
Everyone was shocked by the murderous aura emanating from Ye Qingchen.
If he hadn't determined that the real culprit behind the assassination was Mengba, how could he reveal his murderous intent in public like this?
The fifth elder fell silent.
Obviously, his heart has been shaken.
Seeing this, the great elder sighed slightly.
"In that case, then..."
"Let me do it."
Just as the great elder was about to stand up, an old voice suddenly sounded.
Immediately, a white-haired old man wearing a cyan black robe appeared on the competition stage.
As soon as the white-haired old man appeared, everyone around him was startled and quickly bent down to salute.
"Meet the dean!"
Ye Qingchen also quickly bent down to salute and looked at it carefully.
The aura of the white-haired old man seemed to be completely restrained. From the appearance, he looked like an old man with no strength to restrain himself.
But he had a fairy-like temperament about him, which made Ye Qingchen instantly convinced that he was no ordinary person!
As soon as the white-haired old man appeared, he looked at Ye Qingchen with a smile.
"Little guy, you performed very well today. That sword strike just now made even an old man like me admire you."
"Your Excellency, the dean has given you the reward. This disciple is just risking his life."
Ye Qingchen said truthfully.
The white-haired old man chuckled, then looked past the fifth elder and locked onto Mengba.
He made a move with his old right hand.
Mengba's body was sucked into his palm.
"Master Dean, I..."
Just when Meng Bagan was about to explain something, the white-haired old man frowned and shouted:
"Shut up!"
Mengba's body suddenly shook and he fainted.
The white-haired old man put his left hand on Mengba's head and closed his eyes.
Time is passing slowly minute by minute.
To the Fifth Elder and others, every second seems like seconds passing by like years.
Only Ye Qingchen remained calm and composed.
A quarter of an hour later.
The white-haired old man opened his eyes.
He threw Mengba directly to the ground.
"From today on, Mengba will no longer be a disciple of my Xuanyu Academy."
He spoke calmly, without telling all the memories in Mengba's mind.
But just this short sentence made the fifth elder turn pale.
Liu Juefeng, who was hiding behind Wen Hengting, felt his legs and feet weak and almost fainted.
"As for your request to kill Mengba with your own hands... I don't agree."
The white-haired old man suddenly said.
Hearing this, Ye Qingchen was startled.
The white-haired old man raised his hand, and a wisp of breath penetrated Mengba's throat!
Cut off life!
"..."
Ye Qingchen opened his mouth slightly.
He didn't expect that the white-haired old man would directly help him kill Mengba!
"Ru Lei, you should know what to say to the Meng family, right?"
The white-haired old man glanced sideways at the fifth elder.
"Ru Lei understands..."
Although the fifth elder was sad, he also knew that he had made a mistake.
After hearing this conversation, Ye Qingchen finally understood.
If he kills Mengba, the people behind Mengba will never let him go!
But if it were the dean of Xuanyu Academy who personally executed Mengba.
Then they definitely don’t dare to fart!
"In addition, although Liu Juefeng is not the mastermind of this matter, he also harbors the intention to harm his fellow sect members."
The white-haired old man's eyes suddenly turned to Wen Hengting and Liu Juefeng behind him.
"As the dean, I announce that I will deprive Liu Juefeng of his status as a direct disciple, demote him to an ordinary inner court disciple, and remove him from the inner court rankings!"
Liu Juefeng: "!!"
The white-haired old man just finished speaking.
Liu Juefeng scrambled out from behind Wen Hengting in panic, crying with snot and tears:
"Master Dean! I know I was wrong! Please take it back!"
"I will never have any thoughts about Junior Brother Ye! I will definitely..."
Snapped!
Wen Hengting slapped him unconscious with a cold face!
"Wen Laoqi, you should know how to deal with him, right?"
"Dean, please don't worry! I will imprison him in Siguo Cliff and let him meditate there for three months!"
Wen Hengting said solemnly: "At the same time, I will also enter it and think carefully about why I taught such a disciple!"
"It's good to know."
The white-haired old man nodded: "Okay, now that this farce is over, the Xuanyu ranking match will continue as usual."
After the white-haired old man finished speaking, he disappeared again.
"Congratulations, Dean!"
Everyone shouted respectfully.
After seeing off the dean, their eyes on Ye Qingchen completely changed.
He was personally praised by the dean, and he also survived the assassination attempt by the killer of Yousha Pavilion.
This kind of person can no longer be called a "genius".
"Monster" is more appropriate to describe him!
After Mengba's body was disposed of, Xuanyu's ranking match continued as usual.
Because his true energy was almost exhausted, Ye Qingchen also gave up the remaining two challenge opportunities.
But his ranking has risen from eighth to fifth!
Everyone even felt that if it weren't for the huge consumption of that sword, he might even be able to reach the second place!
As for the first place, they dare not even think about it.
It's late afternoon.
The ranking battle has already reached the duel between the second-ranked disciple and the first-ranked disciple!
The two of them, one named "Chen Mo", is the direct disciple of the second elder and possesses the ninth level of Star Gathering Realm.
A man named "Yunjiao", a direct disciple of the Great Elder, is at the tenth level of the Star Gathering Realm!
And he also has a nickname... called "Martial Chi"!
The duel between the two of them can be described as exciting, with both sides showing extremely extraordinary strength.
Unfortunately, with Ye Qingchen's stunning sword in front, this exciting duel also lost some of its luster.
In the end, Shen Mo was defeated.
But Yun Jiao still stood on the stage and did not step down.
His eyes were directly locked on Ye Qingchen who was in the preparation table.
"Junior Brother Ye, I want to have a discussion with you!"
