112: Chapter 112 Aren’t We at a Great Advantage?

Pfft!

Lin Yi’s sword struck down.

Song Que’s body was cleaved into two halves, splitting right down the middle.

His innards and blood spilled all over the ground.

On the other side, Zhou Qing had also been chopped down by Lu Li.

“You little beast, today’s blood feud, our Martial Arts Academy will make you pay back a hundredfold one day!”

Watching Song Que and Zhou Qing, these Martial Arts Academy Elders, all meet gruesome deaths, fury nearly spewed from Gu Xuantong’s eyes.

Today, the Stone Country Martial Arts Academy, whether elders or students, suffered extremely heavy losses!

But before he could shout much longer, a large force from the Yun Country suddenly appeared nearby!

“Master!

Fellow brothers and sisters, I am here!”

Just then, a young Yun Country General, leading the charge, commanded a team of elite Yun Country cavalry and stormed into the Imperial Palace.

“Is that you…

Bai Xiu, junior brother?!”

It took Lu Qingcheng quite some time to recognize Bai Xiu, and his eyes showed unmistakable surprise.

Li Chengfeng stared intently at Bai Xiu and said, “People rely on clothes, horses on saddles, and it must be said, this young man Bai Xiu, clad in military attire, indeed possesses quite a bit of a general’s aura!”

“Brothers, form up to meet the enemy!”

“Don’t let the Martial Arts Academy’s people escape!”

At Bai Xiu’s command, the group of Yun Country soldiers quickly assembled into formation, with archers drawing their bows and aiming at the Martial Academy’s forces!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

A dense flurry of arrows burst forth, immediately causing the Martial Academy’s forces to fall into disarray, with even Gu Xuantong’s speed severely hindered under the barrage!

“Gu Xuantong!

Today is your day to die!”

Master Wu Liang’s eyes were filled with cold severity, and although he had only one arm left, his gaze locked solely on Gu Xuantong!

Suddenly, he dashed and appeared behind Gu Xuantong, delivering a vertical palm strike!

Bang!

Gu Xuantong was sent flying with a palm strike, and in the next moment, the two of them were locked in fierce combat!

Although Master Wu Liang was missing an arm, Gu Xuantong suffered even more from severe injuries!

“Wu Liang, have you gone mad?

You simply cannot kill me; do you wish to perish together with me”

Gu Xuantong’s eyes flickered intensely as he spoke.

“You are right!”

Master Wu Liang’s expression turned wildly resolute, “Even if it means perishing together, I am going to kill you today!”

“Die now!”

Master Wu Liang forcefully struck Gu Xuantong’s chest, caving it in.

However, Gu Xuantong’s Sword Qi also pierced through Master Wu Liang’s abdomen!

Gu Xuantong’s eyes bulged, his heart meridians shattered by Master Wu Liang, and he fell to the ground dead!

“What?!”

Whether it was Jin Jue or Shi Qianzhong and Su Qingxue, everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Gu Xuantong, the Institute Master of the Stone Country Martial Arts Academy, had fallen just like that?!

“Master!”

“Why did you have to do this!”

Lin Yi’s pupils suddenly contracted, and in his vision, Master Wu Liang was also spat blood and thrown backward, his life force rapidly dissipating.

Although he had fiercely slain Gu Xuantong, he had paid a heavy price.

Master Wu Liang’s Dantian was shattered!

This meant that Master Wu Liang, although not dead, had become a Martial Arts invalid!

“Young man, trading your cultivation for the old life of Gu Xuantong, it’s worth it!”

Master Wu Liang relaxed slightly, saying, “With this old dog dead, you all face one less major threat!”

“In the future, within Shi Country, no formidable enemy shall hinder you youngsters’ rise!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi felt a warmth in his heart.

Master Wu Liang had risked his life to slay Gu Xuantong, all just to clear the obstacles on their path to rising up.

“Damn it, this is a huge loss!”

Seeing Gu Xuantong fall at the hands of Master Wu Liang, Jin Jue’s expression turned extremely ugly.

The fall of a Vice Dean of the Martial Arts Academy was a significant loss, even for the headquarters!

Boom!

At that moment, within the Imperial Palace’s grand hall, a figure flew out in disarray, covered in wounds and drenched in blood, looking utterly miserable.

“Father!”

At the sight of that panicked figure, Lu Qingcheng’s beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.

That extremely disheveled figure was none other than her father, Luo Jingtian!

Seeing Lu Qingcheng still at this place, Luo Jingtian’s face darkened instantly, “Why are you still here?

Didn’t I tell you to leave quickly?”

Luo Jingtian was so furious he almost spat blood.

He had risked his old life and exerted tremendous effort just to hold off Situ Xiong and Yue Shan, the two Vice Deans of the Martial Arts Academy, all to buy time for Lu Qingcheng to escape the Imperial Palace safely.

Yet, to his disbelief, after stalling for so long, she was still inside the Imperial Palace!

Hadn’t all his efforts been in vain?

“Ha ha, still trying to run?”

“You can’t escape!”

Mad laughter came from the grand hall as Situ Xiong and Yue Shan swept out, looking mockingly at Luo Jingtian.

When they saw Lin Yi, their eyes brightened, “Lin Yi the boy is here too; good, now that everyone is here, we can capture you all at once!”

“Capture us all at once?”

Hearing this, Lin Yi and the others, including Lu Li, showed a peculiar expression.

Who was capturing whom, exactly?

However, just when Situ Xiong and Yue Shan were brimming with confidence, Jin Jue suddenly barked out a harsh rebuke, drenching them with a bucket of cold water, “You two fools stop talking and follow me to retreat immediately!”

Confusion swept across Situ Xiong and Yue Shan’s faces at Jin Jue’s unexpected command, “Retreat?”

“Aren’t we at a great advantage?

Why retreat?”

“What great advantage my ass!”

Jin Jue nearly spurted blood, “Gu Xuantong is dead!

Follow me immediately and retreat to the Golden Country Martial Arts Academy!”

“What, the Institute Master is dead?”

Situ Xiong and Yue Shan were shocked, finally panicking!

Gu Xuantong was a Fifth Realm True Man, an almost invincible presence in Shi Country; who could have killed him?

To die by the enemy’s hand?

Their faces underwent rapid changes.

What exactly had happened while they were engaging Luo Jingtian?

How had the situation turned around so suddenly?

As for Luo Jingtian, he felt a great surprise; he had thought today the Shi Country Royal Family would be doomed, yet the situation had unexpectedly turned around; when had it swung back in their favor?

“Move quickly!”

Jin Jue telepathically instructed Situ Xiong and Yue Shan.

Situ Xiong slightly frowned, “If we leave, what about the people from the Four Great Families?”

“We can’t worry about that now, whether you leave or not, I’m certainly leaving!”

Jin Jue narrowed his eyes and then his aura erupted, increasing his speed to the extreme.

He certainly didn’t want to be surrounded by Yun Country’s forces.

Even as a True Man, he would not escape unscathed!

Seeing Jin Jue making a desperate escape, Situ Xiong and Yue Shan naturally didn’t hesitate and immediately erupted their True Yuan, following closely behind him, forcefully blazing a trail of blood!

“Stop them!”

Bai Xiu commanded the Yun Country troops, blocking the Imperial Palace’s main gate to prevent Jin Jue and the others from passing.

However, although the Martial Arts Academy had greatly failed, with Jin Jue and others being three True Man Level masters, their desperate escape was unstoppable without a large troop blockade.

Even so, their speed was severely affected and Lin Yi and his party caught up to them, resulting in another fierce battle!

Shi Qianzhong and Su Qingxue, the only remaining top students of the Martial Arts Academy, were already terrified to death, constantly fearing for their lives!

“Shi Qianzhong!”

Just then, a voice filled with killing intent sounded, and Shi Qianzhong quickly turned around, only to see Lin Yi, somehow already appearing behind him!
