This was a case of internal strife.
Qin Yi observed in the dark for a while and roughly understood what was going on.
This middle-aged man's surname was Jiang. Judging from his attire, his status in Jade Luo Nation's Yin-Yang Academy was definitely not low.
The other three were dressed similarly. They were probably the higher-ups of Jade Luo Nation's Yin-Yang Academy.
Before Qin Yi left, he had heard some information about Jade Luo Nation. He knew that there had been internal strife in the higher-ups of Jade Luo Nation's Yin-Yang Academy. A few elders had joined forces to overthrow the Chancellor of Yin-Yang Academy, then replaced him and took control of Jade Luo Academy.
This middle-aged man with the surname Jiang was probably not the Chancellor, but he was probably on her side. The other three were probably on the rebel side.
Qin Yi was not bursting with a sense of justice. After all, this was Jade Luo Nation's internal strife. As a passerby, there was no reason for him to interfere.
However, Qin Yi was not in a hurry to leave.
Jade Luo Academy's internal strife involved the Green Lotus Society. He might be able to learn some inside information.
The middle-aged man with the surname Jiang was surrounded by three people. His left hand was gently covering his left buttocks. Blood was still flowing out from between his fingers.
It was obvious that the injury in that area had caused him to be unable to maintain his high-speed escape. That was why he was forced to stop by these three people.
Despite being surrounded by three experts of similar level and injured, the middle-aged man with the surname Jiang did not show any signs of panic.
"Gentlemen, for the sake of the academy, I do not value my life too much. However, you have taken over the Chancellor, betrayed the academy, and colluded with the enemy. After you die, how can you face the ancestors of Jade Luo Academy? "The middle-aged man's tone was indifferent. It was obvious that he had disregarded life and death.
The three people were all higher-ups of Jade Luo Academy. After hearing this, a trace of guilt flashed across their hearts. However, this guilt was quickly replaced by benefits.
One of the squint-eyed elders snorted coldly. "Elder Jiang, there's no point in saying more. Since you are determined to die with the academy, we will grant you your wish. "
This squint-eyed elder was probably the one with the higher position among the three. He had the authority to command.
He made a gesture, and the other two understood immediately.
The middle-aged man with the surname Jiang shook his head lightly. "All of you are where you are today thanks to the academy. Instead, he repaid kindness with enmity and betrayed the academy. What's the point of living like this? "
The middle-aged man with the surname Jiang muttered to himself. Then, he shook his head and said, "It's a pity that the legacy of Yuluo Yin-Yang Academy wasn't overthrown by outsiders, but it's going to be destroyed by its own people."
As traitors, their minds were sensitive. Any word from Elder Jiang was a psychological blow to them.
This was also why they were not willing to talk too much.
Since he had already chosen betrayal and benefits, there was no need to be too conflicted.
"Kill him!"
The three of them clearly had a tacit understanding. As soon as the squint-eyed old man gave the order, the three of them moved almost at the same time and rushed toward the middle-aged man surnamed Jiang.
Since it was a battle to the death, the three of them did not hold back. Once activated, it would be a sure-kill skill.
The middle-aged man surnamed Jiang had clearly thrown caution to the wind. Seeing the three people closing in on him, he immediately used a defensive talisman to block the person behind him.
With a bounce, he dodged the attack of the person on the left. Suddenly, a weapon appeared in his hand, and he pounced toward the cultivator on the right without a care for anything else.
This was clearly a method of fighting with his life on the line. It was very clear that he wanted to perish together with his opponent.
The three of them had the absolute initiative. Naturally, they were not willing to exchange their lives for his. The weapon in the hand of the person on the right showed a few openings. He changed from offense to defense. Clang clang clang, he tried to neutralize this crazy attack.
However, Elder Jiang did not show any mercy. Taking advantage of the initiative in his hand, he rushed forward without a care for his own safety. The longsword in his hand was as fast as a meteor. Each strike was faster than the last, and he continuously slashed at the person.
Every strike was aimed at the person's vital points. Moreover, he did not use any defense at all. One strike after another, he completed it in one breath.
In one breath, he had slashed 49 times consecutively.
Although Elder Jiang was injured, once he unleashed his power, he was completely like a mad tiger. It was completely different from his previous gentle and refined temperament.
Fortunately, at this time, the other two people had also reacted. Both of them shouted loudly and charged toward Elder Jiang again.
It had to be said that Elder Jiang's crazy stance just now had almost shocked them, and almost snatched away the initiative.
Pu pu!
In the blink of an eye, those two people had already attacked Elder Jiang's back.
Two low sounds came from Elder Jiang's back. The blades had already slashed at his back.
But there was no blood splattering everywhere as expected, nor was there a corpse separating.
Even Qin Yi, who was watching from the shadows, could tell that something was wrong. On Elder Jiang's back, there was actually some sort of defensive armor.
The attacks of these two people only left a low sound on the surface. They actually did not cause any substantial damage to the other party.
Elder Jiang evidently did not give up on this rare opportunity. Borrowing the power of these two strikes, not only did the momentum of his body charging forward not weaken, it instead strengthened.
The sword in his hand trembled, and a cold gleam was already pointed at the throat of the person from before.
Qin Yi could not help but secretly admire this Elder Jiang's scheming. This fearless spirit indeed formed a great contrast with his cultured and refined temperament.
That person obviously also did not expect that Elder Jiang could actually burst out with such terrifying combat power under the joint attack of three people. For a moment, he was also forced to be at a loss of what to do.
Chi!
Although that person avoided the vital point of the throat, his shoulder was still hit by that sword gleam. Blood spurted out of the sword, and blood flowed like a fountain.
At the same time, Elder Jiang suddenly swept his sword horizontally, and the next move actually directly slashed behind him.
This sword's change in momentum was even more strange. Even Qin Yi did not expect that this Elder Jiang would suddenly attack behind him.
Fortunately, the two people behind him reacted quickly. They continuously swept backwards and barely dodged.
Although they dodged without mishap, these two people were still frightened and broke out in cold sweat.
"The one with the surname Jiang, looks like you really won't shed a tear until you see the coffin." The squint-eyed old man was also angry.
The encirclement of three people was supposed to be a sure-win situation, but this guy actually struggled on his deathbed, and they almost lost one. Although there were no real losses, to them, blood spurting from a sword was also a great humiliation.
After a few rounds, Elder Jiang was obviously affected. The wound on his buttocks became more and more torn, and blood dripped down from the bottom of his trousers.
However, these few rounds of battle were not completely without any gains. Elder Jiang obviously seized a higher position and broke away from the encirclement of the three people.
This way, it was somewhat more condescending, and it was easier to defend.
