Eternal Sacred King

2177 Fang Qingyun

“Senior Brother Pang died just like that?”

“To think that Senior Brother Yang’s combat strength would already be so terrifying. He killed Senior Brother Pang with a single move!”

“I reckon that Senior Brother Yang’s current combat strength is comparable to Senior Brother Fang!”

A disciple who had just joined the academy could not help but ask, “Which Senior Brother Fang?”

“The current number one of the inner sect, Fang Qingyun, of course.”

“I wonder what’s the name of the supreme divine power Senior Brother Yang used earlier on. To think that it could exhaust Senior Brother Pang’s lifespan by more than 100,000 years. How terrifying!”

“I didn’t hear it clearly. It seemed to be Fleeting something.”

There was a commotion around the Sword Discourse Arena.

A cultivator had long run to the inner sect to inform them about this important matter.

Life and death battles were not allowed on the Sword Discourse Arena. However, two people died consecutively today. One was the Disciplinary Elder and the other was a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal who was ranked top five in the inner sect. This would definitely shock the academy!

Su Zimo had a calm expression.

Elder Teng and Pang Yu were the ones who were unreasonable in this matter to begin with. He was merely forced to retaliate. As long as the academy was fair, they would not punish him.

Fleeting Moment was comprehended to its limits through the power of Barren and Time Is Like a Saber.

With the augmentation of that divine power, the passage of time was fleeting and vanished in a moment!

No matter how much lifespan Pang Yu had, even if it was the full 300,000 years, it would be difficult for him to survive if he was struck by Fleeting Moment.

Of course, if Fleeting Moment struck a Perfected Immortal, it would be useless.

Perfected Immortals possessed condensed Dao Fruits and were protected by True Essence—the power of Fleeting Moment could not penetrate it at all.

If Pang Yu was prepared and used another supreme divine power to defend against Fleeting Moment, he would not have died.

Unfortunately, Pang Yu did not take Su Zimo seriously at all.

He had not expected Su Zimo to be able to release a power that could threaten him!

All his attention was on Yang Ruoxu.

His sharpness and strength were condensed on his sword finger and he released an earthshaking defense against Yang Ruoxu!

Right then, Fleeting Moment descended.

Of course, Su Zimo knew one thing.

Although Pang Yu died to Fleeting Moment, it did not mean that he could kill a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal head-on.

The difference in strength between them was too great.

Even the power of a Grade 3 or 4 Heaven Immortal was difficult for him to defend against, let alone a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal.

He knew his limits.

If Yang Ruoxu had not appeared at the end and diverted Pang Yu’s attention and strength, he might not have succeeded.

It could be said that Pang Yu died in the hands of Su Zimo.

However, there were many coincidences that happened as well.

Just as Su Zimo was deep in thought, he suddenly sensed something and looked up.

Yang Ruoxu, who was in front of him, had already turned around and was looking at him meaningfully with a conflicted expression.

There was shock, realization and emotions…

Everyone thought that Pang Yu died in Yang Ruoxu’s hands.

However, Yang Ruoxu knew that the power of his punch earlier on could not kill Pang Yu nor could it achieve such a terrifying effect.

If it was not him, who could it be?

There were only three people on the Sword Discourse Arena.

Pang Yu was already dead. If he was not the person who did it, it could only be the third person.

Although this matter could be hidden from everyone, it could not be hidden from Yang Ruoxu.

“It was m—”

Su Zimo had just said two words when Yang Ruoxu suddenly frowned and waved his hand, interrupting Su Zimo.

“Don’t admit to this,”

Yang Ruoxu whispered with a grim expression.

Just as Su Zimo was about to ask, a holler sounded from afar.

“What happened?!”

A few figures tore through the air from the direction of the inner sect at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, they arrived and descended slowly.

Their leader wore a dark green robe with auspicious clouds etched on it. His black hair was tied up and he had a dignified expression with a long sword hanging on his waist.

“Greetings, Senior Brother Fang!”

The surrounding cultivators cupped their fists in greeting.

The number one of the inner sect, Fang Qingyun!

Behind Fang Qingyun were four cultivators, a man and a woman. All of them were elegant and extraordinary with powerful auras that were comparable to Yang Ruoxu!

The man and woman were Tang Peng and Yan Bingying. They were also extremely famous in the inner sect and their combat strength could be ranked in the top ten!

Among them, Yan Bingying even had the reputation of being the number one Fairy of the inner sect. There were many rumors about her and Fang Qingyun but neither of them confirmed anything openly.

“Greetings, Senior Brother Tang and Senior Sister Yan,”

Many cultivators bowed once more.

Fang Qingyun’s gaze was sharp and he caught sight of Pang Yu who died on the Sword Discourse Arena right away.

However, his expression was unchanged as he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Yang Ruoxu who was not far away without revealing any emotions.

“Senior Brother Pang!”

When Tang Peng saw Pang Yu’s corpse, his eyes widened and he exclaimed before charging onto the Sword Discourse Arena.

Yan Bingying reached out and covered her cherry lips as well, exclaiming.

“You did it!”

Tang Peng raised his head suddenly and glared at Yang Ruoxu fiercely, saying coldly with a ferocious expression.

“That’s right,”

Yang Ruoxu agreed without hesitation.

“Die then!”

Tang Peng hollered murderously and slapped his storage bag, retrieving a pair of shimmering golden gloves that he wore.

The gloves wrapped around Tang Peng’s palm completely.

Furthermore, his fingernails were as sharp as sabers and clanged when they collided, causing sparks to fly like a pair of sharp eagle claws!

Swoosh!

In a flash, Tang Peng vanished from the spot.

Teleportation!

Yang Ruoxu frowned slightly.

If he was facing a normal enemy, he should have teleported away by now.

However, Su Zimo was right behind him. If he were to leave, there was a high chance that Su Zimo would be implicated by the enraged Tang Peng and die on the spot.

At that thought, Yang Ruoxu did not move at all. He swiped his storage bag and a sword suddenly appeared in his palm, piercing towards the void diagonally behind him!

There was initially nothing there.

Right after Yang Ruoxu’s attack, Tang Peng’s figure suddenly appeared and extended his sharp golden claws to grab down.

However, Yang Ruoxu’s attack met it head-on.

Clang!

The sword and claw collided with an ear-piercing sound of metal clashing.

Tang Peng shuddered slightly and left once more in a flash.

His speed was extremely fast and there was only a streak of light left on the Sword Discourse Arena. The gazes of the outer sect disciples could not catch up to his movement technique!

Even with Su Zimo’s eyesight, he could not lock onto it and could only see afterimages.

Su Zimo merely watched for a while before he felt dizzy!

He was secretly alarmed.

The inner sect disciples of the academy were way too strong!

If Pang Yu had not been distracted by Yang Ruoxu and was unprepared for Fleeting Moment, he would not have been struck by that attack.

When Tang Peng was young, he obtained a great opportunity and swapped blood through Marrow Cleansing. The bloodline of the Roc race flowed through his body and his innate speed was shocking!

In the inner sect, Tang Peng was the number one in movement techniques!
