Chapter 423: Five Dragons Trap a Thousand Armies

This sudden scene immediately left everyone stunned on the spot. Looking at Xue Qinghuang, whose entire body was embedded in the earth, life or death unknown, and who might not even be able to be pried out, everyone felt a constriction in their throats and subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

"Who else wants to try?"

A cold, heartless gaze swept across the entire field. Feeling the presence of this line of sight, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to meet it. The scene of Bing Yu acting like a heavenly god had caused many to lose the heart to compete.

"Let's go..."

Just as Bing Yu thought everyone was prepared to give up and felt a bit disappointed inside,

"Did I say you could go?"

Qing Hao's figure arrived before Bing Yu in a few flashes. The wind-attribute Spirit Power constantly spitting from his sword edge gave the illusion that the space itself was being shredded.

"Oh? The Saint Son of the Holy Spiritual Academy is not planning to give up?"

Bing Yu felt a sense of relief in his heart and revealed a smile.

"Heh heh~"

Qing Hao's laughter was very cold.

"This Saint Son does not deny it; I am indeed not your match."

"However..."

"We never intended to fight fairly."

Turning his head to the side, Li Xuanyi's figure appeared, wearing a lazy smile and scratching his head as if feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"Oh my, Captain Bing Yu, I am truly sorry. I owe Captain Qing Hao a massive favor, so..."

"If there is any offense, I hope you will forgive me."

Bing Yu shook his head and held up his index finger, waving it at the two of them.

"It wasn't enough even when Xue Qinghuang was still here."

"Now..."

"You are even less so!"

"Whether it is enough or not, we will only know after trying." Qing Hao lowered his body slightly, placed his long sword at his waist, supported the scabbard with his left hand, and gripped the hilt tightly with his right, light cyan Spirit Power coiling around his hand.

On the other side, Li Xuanyi was shrouded in black mist, his figure gradually turning transparent and merging into the space, leaving no trace.

Suddenly, Bing Yu felt a blur before his eyes, and milky white sunlight reflected into his vision. A strong sense of crisis surged into his heart.

"Drawing Sword Technique!"

A voice filled with traces of anger rang out, and a thousand-foot cyan sword aura instantly sliced through space, ignoring all barriers, and appeared before Bing Yu.

"Spear Settles, No Mountain!"

The pitch-black cold star carried the momentum of heaven and earth as it collided with the sword aura.

"Boom!"

The sword aura dissipated, the cold light shattered, and a long, narrow crack appeared at the point of collision, slowly healing.

Bing Yu's figure instantly leaped backward, each step leaving a deep depression in the space, and he only stopped after retreating several hundred feet.

"Captain Bing Yu, my apologies."

Li Xuanyi's figure emerged from the shadow behind Bing Yu, two daggers like the fangs of the Grim Reaper swiping toward Bing Yu's neck, their pitch-black color devouring the light like a deep abyss's maw.

"Shadow Raid!"

Two black figures lunged at Bing Yu simultaneously, four daggers emitting soul-devouring cold light.

"Puff!"

They easily sliced through the several-foot-thick ice wall Bing Yu had summoned on the fly, continuing forward without any loss in speed.

In the distance, Qing Hao could not help but reveal a ferocious grin. The power Li Xuanyi erupted with in the moment of assassination was already infinitely close to the true Supreme Realm; how could a mere Triple Spirit Soul Difficulty practitioner who was unprepared possibly withstand it?

However, the instant the daggers were about to touch Bing Yu's body, the latter, who had appeared panicked just a moment ago, revealed an eerie smile.

Li Xuanyi instinctively felt something was wrong, but it was already impossible to change his move, so he could only harden his expression and increase the injection of his Spirit Power.

Subsequently, he saw that on Bing Yu's chest, without any warning, there appeared a...

Disk?

"Bang!"

The teeth of the daggers struck the center of the disk, and then, a brilliant, dazzling light flashed.

"Boom!"

In the stunned gaze of everyone, a thousand-foot Ice Dragon suddenly rushed out from the light, and at the dragon's head was a small black dot.

Taking a closer look, it was none other than the Azure Heaven Spiritual Academy Captain Li Xuanyi, who looked as if he had suffered a heavy blow and was filled with astonishment.

The Ice Dragon held Li Xuanyi's body in its mouth, circled in the air for a moment, then the dragon head flicked, and the black streak of light flew backward, landing on the ground.

Whether intentional or not, the spot where Li Xuanyi landed formed a line with Xue Qinghuang.

Bing Yu slowly stepped forward toward Qing Hao.

"I am truly sorry, I accidentally took out another one."

Yet, the teasing in those words made it impossible for anyone to hear any existence of apology.

Qing Hao's face turned pale and then green, and he asked unwillingly:

"Did you use a Divine Artifact just now?"

Although Bing Yu's movement was imperceptible, Qing Hao, who was facing him, naturally caught sight of the suddenly appearing disk with his sharp eyes.

Capable of easily crushing Li Xuanyi, who held a Quasi-Divine Artifact, and not understanding the existence of an Array Disk, he naturally assumed that Bing Yu had used a defensive protective Divine Artifact.

Before Bing Yu could answer, Qing Hao went on to agree with his own answer.

"That's right, that must be it."

"Bing Yu, for using a Divine Artifact in the Spiritual Academy Tournament, just wait for Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy to be disqualified."

"Hahahahaha~"

Bing Yu, watching coldly from the sidelines, also lost interest in explaining; it was clear that Qing Hao had suffered too great a blow, his mind was shaken, and he had evidently lost the ability to think.

【Recommendation: Yeguo Reading is really useful for catching up on books; everyone can go download it here and give it a try.】

Did you really think there was no threshold for using a Divine Artifact?

Below the Supreme Realm, it is simply impossible to unleash the full power of a Divine Artifact, and one might even pay an unbearable price; it is not as practical as a Quasi-Artifact.

"Suit yourself."

Bing Yu shook his head and said with some regret:

"I originally thought I could lure a team from the Wu Spirit Academy over and wipe them all out in one go."

From Bing Yu's mouth, from which hot air could be exhaled, came words that made Qing Hao feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

The latter's first reaction was disbelief.

The Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy's participating team this time was truly absurdly strong, crushing the teams of other spiritual academies in every aspect.

But this strength could not make them ignore the disparity in numbers, especially on this battlefield; the number of people standing on the side of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy could not be compared to the three families combined, and once they fell into an encirclement, the outcome would inevitably be the annihilation of the entire army.

However, Bing Yu was not one to boast, which meant the other side truly had this level of certainty.

Thinking of this, a chill went straight up Qing Hao's spine to his crown. He dared not imagine what the consequences would be if the team representing the top strength of the Five Great Academies were wiped out.

However, the initiative was not in the hands of Qing Hao and the others at all right now.

The start of the battle is decided by you, but the ending is our business.

Bing Yu's voice, laced with Spirit Power, echoed in the valley for a long time.

"Brothers, bring out the main course!"

"You got it!"

Hearing this, the team members of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy revealed relaxed expressions; they did not have Bing Yu's ability to take on many by themselves!

The set goal of luring the enemy into the trap had been achieved, and what followed was catching the turtle in the jar.

They erupted with power one after another, even taking a hit head-on to temporarily break away from the battlefield, each taking out an Array Disk similar to Bing Yu's and frantically injecting Spirit Power into it.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"..."

Five thousand-foot giant dragons sealed off five directions, and a curtain of light slowly descended.

"This..."

Everyone stared dumbfounded at the magnificent scenery on the horizon.

"You've got to be kidding me."
