Chapter 271

Ten years of life and death, two vast expanses; five years of life and death, one vast expanse.

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed since the opening of the Shan Hai Realm, and the bloodthirsty roars of demon beasts could be heard from time to time in the primeval jungle of the Shan Hai Realm.

"Cangming Sword Sacrifice!"

Swish!

A brilliant sword Qi tore through the sky, falling at high speed like a shooting star.

Falling along with the sword Qi was Hu Baiqing, covered in sword wounds.

Hu Baiqing lay on the ground, her eyes unfocused, fresh blood staining her white clothes. She had never expected that she would be defeated so quickly at the hands of Feng Tianyu! Hu Baiqing's sword heart suffered a fracture at this very moment!

Feng Tianyu coldly put away his long sword; the clothes on his body did not even have the slightest tear or stain.

Clearly, dealing with Hu Baiqing was not a difficult task for him; it could even be called very easy.

As for Zhang Xing and Zhu Yuquan, they had already been beaten into critical condition by the other four members of the Supreme Academy, unable to even crawl up.

Feng Tianyu raised his foot, pressing his mud-caked sole directly onto Hu Baiqing's fair face, grinding it forcefully.

"You people from the You Daxia Academy are truly pitifully weak; you couldn't even make me take you seriously."

A feeling of humiliation rose in the bottom of Hu Baiqing's heart, accompanied by a deep sense of despair.

Too strong!

The man before her was truly too strong!

Only after truly exchanging blows with Feng Tianyu did she understand how vast the gap was between the strongest student of the You Daxia Academy and the strongest student of the Supreme Academy—it was like an insurmountable chasm!

Feng Tianyu was an absolutely invincible existence!

Hu Baiqing even had the urge to surrender completely before Feng Tianyu; such an existence... she likely could never surpass him even if she spent her entire life trying.

"Hand over the Shan Hai Seals on you, then get lost." Feng Tianyu spoke coldly.

Hu Baiqing gritted her teeth, forcing herself to hand over the three Shan Hai Seals she had painstakingly collected over the past five days.

When one is under the eaves, one must bow one's head; their skills were inferior to others, and there was nothing they could do about being robbed.

Watching Feng Tianyu store the three Shan Hai Seals into his storage space, the three of them were just about to leave, but then Feng Tianyu's cold, sharp voice rang out again.

"I told you to get lost, not to walk away. Can't you hear me? Kneel on the ground and roll away!"

A look of annoyance appeared on the faces of Hu Baiqing and the others; Feng Tianyu was clearly deliberately humiliating them!

Hu Baiqing closed her eyes in pain, then slowly knelt to the ground, preparing to roll away; Zhu Yuquan's expression was extremely ugly, but he did not move; Zhang Xing, already beaten black and blue, could not endure this humiliation and rose to charge at Feng Tianyu.

"Feng Tianyu! You son of a bitch, you've gone too far! If I die, I die; if I don't, I'll live for ten thousand years! I'll fight you to the death!"

But before he could reach Feng Tianyu, a flash of sword light as fast as lightning streaked by, and Zhang Xing instantly fell to the ground, blood flowing freely.

A smooth, mirror-like sword mark had appeared on his left ankle; the tendon of his left foot had been severed by Feng Tianyu.

Yet Zhang Xing still showed no intention of compromising; he spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

"If you have the guts, kill me! Otherwise, I won't roll even if I die today!"

"Is that so?"

Feng Tianyu did not attack Zhang Xing again, but turned and slashed his sword directly at Zhu Yuquan!

Swish!

A slender finger, dripping with blood, flew into the sky, traced a parabola, and fell to the ground.

Zhu Yuquan was stunned for a moment, then the intense pain of losing a finger made him let out a shrill scream. He clutched the spot where his finger was severed, cold sweat breaking out in large beads on his forehead.

"So you have a hard backbone, huh? Fine. If you don't roll today, I'll cut off one of your teammate's fingers every minute. I wonder if your Elemental Mage teammate, who will have no fingers left after ten minutes, will still be able to cast skills in the future?"

Feng Tianyu lowered his eyes, looking at Zhang Xing with a mocking smile. Zhang Xing's eyes were now filled with rage.

"If you have the guts, come at me! What kind of skill is it to implicate others! You beast! Come at me! Cut off your grandfather's fingers!"

Feng Tianyu ignored Zhang Xing, standing silently in place with his sword, counting the time.

"Time's about up."

"I'm going to cut off his second finger!"

Seeing Feng Tianyu raise his long sword, Zhang Xing was filled with grief and indignation.

"Wait!"

Zhang Xing roared, biting his teeth until they bled.

"I... I'll roll!"

If Feng Tianyu attacked him, Zhang Xing would never yield, but he could not watch his teammate get implicated.

"Too quiet, I can't hear you." The mockery in Feng Tianyu's eyes grew even more intense.

"I said, I'll roll!"

Having said that, Zhang Xing crawled on the ground, dragging his immobile left leg, and rolled on the ground in a very comical manner. Every time he rolled, a pool of blood was left on the ground.

He was in great pain, but this time, he did not shed a single tear.

Zhang Xing did not know how long he had been rolling before he was helped up by Zhu Yuquan. Zhu Yuquan then discovered that Zhang Xing had long since lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss, and was purely rolling on the ground by instinct.

"Supreme Academy, you have gone too far!"

Zhu Yuquan gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with the fire of hatred.

"Yuquan, this matter is entirely because our skills are inferior to others; there's nothing to say. We can't blame Feng Tianyu; the strong are meant to humiliate the weak."

Hu Baiqing shook her head, then continued speaking under Zhu Yuquan's shocked gaze.

"If you want to blame someone, blame those two selfish guys! If it weren't for them leaving the team without authorization and weakening our team's strength, even if we couldn't beat the people from the Supreme Academy, there wouldn't have been much of a problem for us to retreat unscathed!"

The strong draw their blades against the stronger; the weak draw their blades against the weaker.

Hu Baiqing had long since considered Feng Tianyu an invincible existence in her heart, so she dared not place her hatred on him, because she knew very well that she would likely never be his match.

But the surging anger and humiliation in her heart needed an outlet, so Ye Lin, who was weaker in Hu Baiqing's mind, became that outlet.

This is essentially the same logic as being bullied outside and going home to sulk, making your husband guess why.

Ignoring Zhu Yuquan's look as if he were seeing an alien, Hu Baiqing spoke to herself.

"Let's find a place to heal our wounds first. Once we leave the Shan Hai Realm, I will definitely report this to the Dean! That selfish guy Ye Lin must be held responsible for your finger and the wounds on Zhang Xing's body!"

"If I run into him in the Shan Hai Realm... I will personally take him down!"
