The purple-robed middle-aged man understood that by dividing his attention, he would weaken the power of his attack on Jiang Wuming while simultaneously restraining Xia Xueqin with his true qi cage. However, he was supremely confident in his own strength, believing he could still easily kill Jiang Wuming even under these circumstances.
Yet—
When Jiang Wuming dodged the rope-like attack formed by the purple-robed man's true qi and taunted him again, the man's expression turned grim. It felt like a slap to the face, stinging despite its silence.
"Mites shaking a tree!"
The purple-robed man uttered the words with a dark expression. While controlling the true qi cage with his left hand, he swiftly formed seals with his right. A dense surge of purple true qi erupted from his body, shooting into the sky. Above Jiang Wuming's position, it dispersed, forming a purple cloud.
"Rumble~"
Thunder echoed through the sky. Lightning flashed within the purple cloud, which then suddenly parted, unleashing a torrential downpour. The rain was vast, covering nearly a third of the training ground, leaving Jiang Wuming with no escape. This attack was the purple-robed man's large-scale offensive.
As the purple rain fell, Jiang Wuming sensed the energy fluctuations from above and realized the wide area covered by the downpour, making evasion impossible. Understanding this, Jiang Wuming stabilized himself. He moved his hands, formed seals, and his mysterious inner gate opened, unleashing a torrent of mysterious power that combined with his true qi. It surged upwards, manifesting as an Yin-Yang Bagua diagram above his head.
At this critical moment, Jiang Wuming deployed the Daoist sect's ultimate defensive technique, the "Yin-Yang Bagua Diagram," innovatively incorporating mysterious power into it.
Crackling!
The Yin-Yang Bagua Diagram hovered above Jiang Wuming's head, spinning vigorously. It blocked the descending purple rain, shattering it. At this moment, the diagram acted like a spinning umbrella, while the purple rain was akin to acid rain. Although each drop of purple rain that struck the diagram was dispersed, it still inflicted damage, leaving black spots upon it.
"You purple-clothed old rascal, I told you you're not good enough!"
After blocking the purple-robed man's rain attack with his strongest defense, the Yin-Yang Bagua Diagram, Jiang Wuming moved again. He swiftly exited the area of the downpour and continued to provoke the purple-robed man.
"Little native, you have successfully angered me!"
The purple-robed man, having missed again, was thoroughly enraged. He let out a low growl, focusing his main energy on Jiang Wuming, intending to unleash a powerful martial art to obliterate him.
However—
Just as the purple-robed man was about to strike again, Xia Xueqin sensed a weakening in the true qi cage. Seizing the opportunity, she transformed her hand into a sword and unleashed a full-power strike at the cage.
"Boom!!"
Instantly, the true qi cage exploded, and the terrifying energy wave hurled Xia Xueqin away. Prepared for this, Xia Xueqin used her protective true qi to block the energy wave's attack, remaining unharmed, though her internal blood flow was disturbed. In mid-air, she quickly stabilized her qi and blood, preparing to form her hand into a sword again and strike the purple-robed man.
"Since you refuse to kneel, then die!"
The purple-robed man spun around abruptly, shouting coldly, and simultaneously struck out with his palm. Instantly, a purple true qi palm reappeared, whistling through the air towards Xia Xueqin with terrifying power! He intended to kill her with a single palm strike!
Danger!
Xia Xueqin's heart leaped. She immediately abandoned her sword seals, her hands moving rapidly. True qi surged from within her, transforming into thousands upon thousands of swords of various styles. These swords converged, forming a sword mountain that blocked Xia Xueqin's path.
Transforming swords into a mountain.
This was the most powerful defensive technique in the Xia family's sword art.
Boom!!
However, as soon as the sword mountain took shape, it was struck by the purple palm and instantly exploded into nothingness. Simultaneously, the purple true qi palm also dissipated. In terms of martial arts techniques, the sword mountain was far more exquisite than the casual palm strike of the purple-robed man. However, Xia Xueqin, only at the ninth stage of the Three-star Battle God realm, could only mimic its form, not its essence. She was outmatched by the enemy's martial arts realm. Nevertheless, this allowed her to resolve the crisis and land safely on the ground.
"Dean Xia, don't attack him. Go assist Dean Zhang and the others!"
Seeing Xia Xueqin evade the purple-robed man's attack, Jiang Wuming secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then shouted a reminder. Firstly, with Xia Xueqin's strength, attacking the purple-robed man would not cause him any harm. Secondly, although Qin Xiaozhi, following Jiang Wuming's instructions, was assisting the two-star squad led by Zhang Guanzhong against the golden-armored warrior wielding dual axes, the two-star squad was still at a disadvantage. Half of their members had already fallen to the enemy.
Whoosh!
Hearing Jiang Wuming's command, Xia Xueqin gritted her teeth. She ultimately abandoned the idea of attacking the purple-robed man and, with a flash of movement, swiftly moved towards Zhang Guanzhong.
"Purple-clothed old rascal, you can go all out now. Let me see if you're truly capable!"
At the same time, Jiang Wuming also moved. He rapidly retreated in the opposite direction of the purple-robed man, feigning an escape from the battlefield while continuing to provoke the purple-robed man, aiming to make him the target. Otherwise, if the purple-robed man followed Xia Xueqin towards Zhang Guanzhong, he could annihilate Zhang Guanzhong and the others with a single strike.
"Ant, can you escape?!"
As expected, the purple-robed man believed Jiang Wuming was fleeing the battlefield and, with a cold shout, he flashed forward. For him, the primary objective of descending to Earth was to kill Jiang Wuming. As for restraining and humiliating Xia Xueqin, that was merely a spontaneous decision. How could he allow Jiang Wuming to escape?! With his voice, he took a step, resembling a flicker of purple light, instantly closing the distance to Jiang Wuming.
Jiang Wuming sensed the purple-robed man's aura approaching. Instead of fear, he felt relieved—his gamble had paid off; the purple-robed man’s primary target was still him!
Whoosh!
With a secret sigh of relief, Jiang Wuming reached the edge of the training ground. However, he did not leave it but instantly changed direction, moving towards the north side of the training ground. This was because Zhang Guanzhong and the others were on the south side. This way, it would completely prevent the purple-robed man from interfering in the battle on that side.
Boom! Boom!
On the south side of the training ground, the golden-armored warrior wielding dual axes once again repelled Zhang Guanzhong and the Three-star Battle God from the East Sea branch. However—
This time, before he could attack and kill the teachers from the East Sea Martial Academy in the two-star squad, Xia Xueqin arrived in time.
"Die!!"
Xia Xueqin let out a roar. Exploiting a brief interval in the golden-armored warrior's true qi circulation, she transformed her hand into a sword and unleashed the fifth form of the God-Slaying Saber technique, the forbidden art 'God-Slaying,' striking at the enemy.
"Bang!"
At the same moment, from the rooftop of the distant teaching building, Qin Xiaozhi keenly captured the opportunity and pulled the trigger again. The next moment. The God-Slaying Saber formed by true qi and the Three-star bullet, attacking from front and back, simultaneously struck the golden-armored warrior wielding dual axes.
"Hmph!" Dafeng Novel Network.
The golden-armored warrior wielding dual axes not only showed no fear but instead sneered. He completely ignored the bullets behind him and forcibly circulated his true qi. Facing the whistling saber energy, he swung an axe. True qi surged from his battle axe, manifesting a giant true qi axe. However—
As the giant true qi axe appeared, the God-Slaying Saber formed by true qi arrived immediately.
Boom!!
Accompanied by a world-shattering roar, the two collided, resulting in a terrifying explosion. At the center of the explosion, the giant true qi axe instantly dissipated, while the God-Slaying Saber formed by true qi dimmed completely but did not disappear. All of this was because Xia Xueqin, while activating the forbidden art God-Slaying, had also employed the forbidden art of the Martial Department's inner force cultivation method, unleashing her peak combat power. The golden-armored warrior wielding dual axes, after repelling Zhang Guanzhong and the East Sea branch's Three-star Battle God, had attacked forcefully, with a reduced combat effectiveness. The disparity in strength between the two was reduced, and their roles were even reversed, leading to this scene.
The God-Slaying Saber, formed by true qi, after dimming, fiercely slashed at the golden-armored warrior wielding dual axes. The latter was instantly sent flying backward, his armor formed by true qi shattered, and even his golden armor bore a saber mark. He had blocked the residual might of Xia Xueqin's 'God-Slaying' with his protective true qi and armor, remaining unharmed.
However—
Just then, another explosion sounded. He had been hit by the Three-star bullet whistling from behind him! This shot, because the enemy was sent flying by the God-Slaying Saber formed by true qi, Qin Xiaozhi failed to achieve a fatal blow but struck the enemy's back.
"Crack!"
"Pfft—"
The golden-armored warrior wielding dual axes, without true qi protection and relying solely on his golden armor, could not completely resist the energy unleashed by the Three-star bullet. His ribs and spine fractured almost simultaneously, and he spat a mouthful of blood mist.
"Die!!"
Seeing this, Zhang Guanzhong and the East Sea branch's Three-star Battle God realized this was an excellent opportunity to kill the enemy. They both unleashed a saber strike.
"Boom!"
"Pfft—"
The next moment, before the golden-armored warrior wielding dual axes could land, he was struck by two saber energies, his body exploding. He was jointly killed by Xia Xueqin, Qin Xiaozhi, Zhang Guanzhong, and the East Sea branch's Three-star Battle God!
"Little native, you risked your life just to buy them time to jointly kill my subordinate, and then unite with them to deal with me. But I must tell you, in the face of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks are useless—Purple Qi Comes East!"
At the same time, on the north side of the training ground, the purple-robed middle-aged man had completely closed the distance to Jiang Wuming, entering his attack range. He sensed everything happening on the south side of the training ground and saw through Jiang Wuming's intentions. He waved his hands and formed seals, activating a powerful and peerless martial art. The purest purple true qi spurted from the purple-robed man's palm, like the morning glow, piercing the sky. It instantly arrived above Jiang Wuming's head and then transformed into a purple pocket. The pocket was lifelike, as if it were real. Its opening revealed flowing purple qi, forming a massive vortex that exerted a terrifying suction force on Jiang Wuming. Instantly. Jiang Wuming's movement ceased. His internal true qi and mysterious power seemed frozen, unable to circulate. His body uncontrollably flew backward, towards the pocket formed by the purple true qi! This was a crushing display of strength, a killing blow!
