The cold light flipped out from under the bamboo scroll bridge and pierced towards Ren Xuexing's back.
Ren Xuexing's back was slightly cold, but his heart was even colder.
His attack was still millimeters away from Ruan Qingzhu, but Ruan Qingzhu's attack had already pierced his back.
The millimeter was just an instant, but for experts like them, this instant was the distance between life and death.
The Three Simple Mouths had failed …
No matter how unwilling Ren Xuexing was, he had to accept this fact. He could not continue to use the Three Simple Mouths. His next priority was to save his life.
"Combine!"
Ren Xuexing shouted urgently. The golden bamboo light that filled the sky gathered behind him, and the bamboo scroll that floated under his feet also blocked the cold light.
There was already a bone-deep pain coming from his back. But, he should be able to make it in time, right?
At the juncture of life and death, Ren Xuexing did not panic. It was not that he had never walked through the gates of hell. He still had the bearing of not being afraid in the face of danger.
The golden light instantly spread behind him, and the bamboo scroll that was propped up finally broke the cold light into pieces.
The sharp cold energy that pierced into his body finally stopped. This attack was finally blocked by Ren Xuexing. Although he was injured, it was not fatal. But while he was blocking this attack, Ruan Qingzhu was not idle. The divine spear's green flag smashed down in mid-air. The two-meter-long weapon did not show any signs of sluggishness in such a close combat situation.
But this attack was already within Ren Xuexing's expectations. He, who only wanted to save his life, put 120% of his energy into defense. The Feather Mountain Scroll and the power of spirit that he gathered blocked the attack from behind, but he did not forget to protect the front.
Boom!
This attack that smashed down from the front was not as insidious as the cold light behind him. The surging power of spirit was released, but it was also a fatal attack. But Ren Xuexing was already prepared.
Pa pa pa pa …
The consecutive crisp sounds were like beans exploding. One after another, the bamboo slips exploded in front of Ren Xuexing. Ren Xuexing retreated, wanting to reduce the damage of this attack. But Ruan Qingzhu had already made a change. The green flag smashing down was just to adjust its position. The following attack was the attack that could release the full power of the green flag!
Green light!
Ren Xuexing only felt that his eyes were filled with green light.
Where was the spear? He couldn't see.
His defense had already collapsed after withstanding the previous smash. This stab. He went straight for the palace. The green flag's length of more than two meters was finally displayed to its fullest in this strike. No matter how fast Ren Xuexing retreated, it was impossible for him to escape from this attack.
But at this moment, a bright light suddenly appeared. She stood in front of Ren Xuexing to protect him. It did not have any color. It was like a mirror reflecting sunlight into a dark place and casting a spot of light.
The azure light collided with the light spot, but it did not erupt with the momentum produced by the collision of soul power. This spot of light was like a cage, and it did not fight against Ruan Qingzhu's power of spirit. Instead, it firmly restrained him.
"Heaven's Gaze Mirror …" Ruan Qingzhu recognized it immediately. She was very clear about the advantages of a transcendent-grade Divine Weapon. Other than Lu Ping, no one would do such a thing to compete with a transcendent-grade Divine Weapon.
Ruan Qingzhu immediately stopped. Most of the Soul Power of this attack was intercepted and dissolved by the Heaven's Gaze Mirror, but there was also a small part that the Heaven's Gaze Mirror did not manage to intercept in time, and it blasted Ren Xuexing.
Ren Xuexing, who was already retreating, immediately flew even faster. In the blink of an eye, he had rushed up several stone steps, and in the blink of an eye, he had already flown back.
He would try taking another step forward.
This was what Ruan Qingzhu said. She had always done what she said.
Thus, the West Gate Sect Leader of the Southern Sky Academy rushed forward a few steps. He fell back a few steps.
"Teacher!" Ren Xuexing fell into the crowd, and a student had already caught and supported him.
Ren Xuexing's face was as pale as paper, and his soul power was in a mess. His back was already dyed red with blood, and the bloodstains continued to spread. A student hurriedly brought medicine over. Ren Xuexing opened his mouth to take it, but in the end, he spat out a mouthful of blood first. The two students who were supporting him immediately felt that Ren Xuexing's body had become much heavier, and he could no longer hold on.
This was a battle between top powerhouses without holding back.
Their attacks and his methods, the slightest difference could determine life and death. If Cheng Luozhu had not helped Ren Xuexing in time, he would already be a dead man. At this moment, he was already a dead man. No one would doubt this. However, this did not mean that there was a big gap between the two of them. The slightest difference was not an insurmountable chasm. Let's do it again. The one who fell, was heavily injured, or even died, could be the other.
Because of this, although the three academies lost a top powerhouse and damaged their morale, it was still limited.
In comparison, Ren Xuexing's students were heavily injured because of their teacher. They were eager to take revenge. They hastily wanted to charge forward, but this time, it was Island Master Yuan Fei who stopped them with a wave of his hand.
"Don't be impulsive. We cannot be careless at a time like this." Yuan Fei said. His injuries were not much lighter than Ren Xuexing's, but he was completely conscious. As one of the leaders of the three academies who entered the North Style Academy first, he had been planning and deploying his troops step by step since he stepped into the North Style Academy. He did not dare to be careless. Even so, he was still heavily injured by the unexpected appearance of Lu Ping, which almost ruined their plan.
Yuan Fei did not want to encounter such an accident a second time. Lu Ping should have already been taken care of in the valley. But what about here?
This was the Dubhe Building, a first-rate important place in the North Style Academy. The legendary Dubhe Building warriors were also the elite experts of the North Style Academy. But now, only Ruan Qingzhu was blocking their way?
Even though she had just heavily injured Ren Xuexing, Yuan Fei did not feel that Ruan Qingzhu had any chance of winning against so many of them.
It was impossible for the North Style Academy to hand over the Dubhe Building to Ruan Qingzhu alone. What were they planning? Was there some kind of trap here?
After all, the North Style Academy was no longer kept in the dark. The Seven Star Order had already been released, so they must have realized how serious the situation was. The current situation of the Dubhe Building was really abnormal.
"This is the Dubhe Building." Yuan Fei only used this sentence, but everyone immediately understood what he wanted to express.
"So don't be impulsive, don't panic. Gather our strongest strength and move forward step by step. "Yuan Fei said.
"You're right." The leader of the Black Tortoise Academy, Xu Chuan, nodded. The people of the Que Yue Academy naturally supported their Island Master Yuan Fei's judgment. On the Southern Sky Academy's side, Ren Xuexing was heavily injured. The one who could make the decision was Cheng Luozhu, who had a good relationship with Ruan Qingzhu.
Her expression seemed to be a little melancholy, but she actually had the same thoughts as Yuan Fei.
Qingzhu, what are you planning? She looked at Ruan Qingzhu who was above the stone steps.
Ruan Qingzhu did not look at her. Her cold and resolute expression had never appeared before in the two of them's interactions.
"Let's go together." Cheng Luozhu finally expressed her stance.
