Chapter 1452: Battle Against Seven-Rank

When all the teams from the Eastern Region Outer Shenzhou and the Thunder Fire Outer Shenzhou entered the Crossing Space, countless rays of light projected outward, forming a massive light screen in the sky that displayed the many scenes within.

At this moment, whether in the Ancient Academies battle zone or the Inner Shenzhou Sacred Academies battle zone, every team raised their heads, watching that light screen with great interest.

Then immediately, many people suddenly cried out in surprise.

"Huh? Fang Xingyun is directly leading the Thunder Fire Outer Shenzhou team to charge toward the Eastern Region Outer Shenzhou. He's not planning to fight for the Crossing Platforms at all—he wants to force the Eastern Region Outer Shenzhou into a direct decisive battle with them!"

"Tsk tsk, this Fang Xingyun is quite bold. They already have an overall strength advantage, so there's no need to split up and fight the Eastern Region Outer Shenzhou for those Crossing Platforms. After all, as long as they crush the Eastern Region Outer Shenzhou head-on, they'll naturally win."

"Look, Fang Xingyun seems to be leading the Thunder Tribulation Sacred Academy team, charging straight at the Sacred Mystic Star Academy team where Li Luo is!"

"So from the very start, he planned to target Li Luo, the biggest variable. After all, as long as Li Luo is defeated, the Eastern Region Outer Shenzhou's Sacred Academy teams will naturally collapse."

"This Fang Xingyun is decisive enough. Since Li Luo is the variable, then cut him down early and let's see how he can change anything."

"With Fang Xingyun's strength at a Lower Seven-Rank Marquis, no matter how Li Luo changes, I'm afraid it won't matter."

"......"

Jiang Jiang Qinge was also watching the scenes within the light screen. She gazed at Fang Xingyun, who was charging straight toward Li Luo without caring about any obstruction. Her willow-leaf brows furrowed slightly, a flash of cold intent swept through her eyes, and her slender five fingers clenched slightly.

And far away at the Mystic Spirit Ancient Academy, that Xi Li let out a cold snort in secret. Li Luo had stuck his nose into the matter with Xi Chan, which had made him extremely annoyed. Now if this Fang Xingyun could first blunt Li Luo's edge, that would let him vent some of his anger, and it would also benefit his later negotiations with Li Luo.

In the Inner Shenzhou Sacred Academy zone, Lu Ruyan of the Sacred Mist Academy crossed her arms over her chest—this posture made her chest appear even more spectacular. On her charming, captivating face, schadenfreude was similarly written all over.

Under the gaze of so many with varied emotions, in the Outer Shenzhou's Crossing Space, an intense great battle was about to erupt.

"Fang Xingyun, your opponents are us, the Sacred Bright King Academy!"

Guo Guo Jiufeng let out a long howl. Six Marquis Platforms above his head erupted with brilliant radiance, then ten thousand zhang of divine smoke surged skyward, transforming into a rainbow of light that tore through the air toward Fang Xingyun's figure.

However, before his attack could approach within a thousand zhang of Fang Xingyun, it was suddenly shattered by a fiery-red sword light.

A middle-aged man with crimson hair was seen leading a group of figures into the air. It was precisely Meng You, the Vice Principal of the Sacred Smoke Academy from the Thunder Fire Outer Shenzhou.

"Guo Guo Jiufeng, if you want to play, our Sacred Smoke Academy will keep you company. Don't disturb Vice Principal Fang's pleasure." Meng You held a fiery-red greatsword that seemed to flow with lava, and said with a booming laugh.

Guo Guo Jiufeng looked at Meng You, who had appeared to block him, his expression somewhat ugly. He now understood Fang Xingyun's plan—the opponent clearly regarded Li Luo with importance beyond imagination, so he had gone straight for the latter.

Fang Xingyun intended to use his level advantage to pin Li Luo down right from the start.

"A dignified Upper-Rank Marquis going after a Second-Rank Marquis is really beneath you." Guo Guo Jiufeng shouted coldly, his shout like thunder, and it also reached Fang Xingyun's ears—clearly he was trying to provoke the opponent.

But Fang Xingyun had no intention of paying him the slightest attention.

And at this moment, the other Sacred Academy teams from the Thunder Fire Outer Shenzhou also intercepted all the Sacred Academy teams from the Eastern Region Outer Shenzhou. Even Vice Principal Wang Xu found it difficult to break free.

Thus, everyone could only watch helplessly as Fang Xingyun led the Thunder Tribulation Sacred Academy team, closing in on the Sacred Mystic Star Academy members.

When they were several hundred zhang away from the fully prepared Sacred Mystic Star Academy members, Fang Xingyun's footsteps stopped. His sharp gaze locked onto Li Luo, and he said slowly, "Guo Guo Jiufeng described you as an ordinary Second-Rank Marquis. I don't know if he's the fool, or if he takes me for a fool."

"Who exactly carried your Eastern Region Outer Shenzhou to this round, doesn't he have any idea?"

Hearing Fang Xingyun's words, Li Luo laughed and said, "Then should I thank Vice Principal Fang for thinking so highly of me?"

At the same time, his gaze swept over the Thunder Tribulation Sacred Academy team, and his heart immediately couldn't help but sink, because he discovered that besides Fang Xingyun, this Lower Seven-Rank Marquis powerhouse, the Thunder Tribulation Sacred Academy also had an old veteran instructor at the Lower Six-Rank Marquis Realm.

"Truly worthy of being called the strongest Sacred Academy in foundation among the six Outer Shenzhous."

Li Luo sighed inwardly. The strength of the Thunder Tribulation Sacred Academy, even among the many Sacred Academies of the Inner Shenzhou, could probably squeeze into the upper-middle tier. And compared to them, the lineup on their side was completely suppressed.

This battle was indeed very hard to fight.

After all, even if he held off Fang Xingyun here, that Lower Six-Rank veteran instructor on the opponent's side would also crush Instructor Xi Chan and the others.

When the time came and the Sacred Mystic Star Academy team collapsed, he would also face being surrounded and attacked.

"That Lower Six-Rank Marquis powerhouse can be left to me to contain, but I'll need Sister Hong You's help." And just as Li Luo's thoughts were turning, Lv Qing'er suddenly spoke up.

Li Luo looked at Lv Qing'er with some shock. Lv Qing'er was currently only at Unparalleled First Rank—could she actually contain a Lower Six-Rank Marquis powerhouse? Could she also break through the Unparalleled leaping three ranks limit?

"I'm not as monstrous as you. However, just temporarily containing him, trading one for one, I can still manage that." Lv Qing'er said lightly.

Li Luo hesitated slightly, then finally nodded. Although Lv Qing'er was only at Unparalleled First Rank, she also possessed an extremely powerful trump card. At the very least, in Li Luo's perception, there seemed to be a terrifying aura hidden within Lv Qing'er's body. He guessed that aura might be the Ice Sacred Seed from the Jin Guang Mountain Lv branch.

"Then I'll leave it to you."

At the same time, Li Luo also said to the three instructors Xi Chan, Cao Sheng, and Mi Er, "Three instructors, each of you face your own opponents, just hold them off. As long as we get past this round, the first place among the Outer Shenzhous will be ours, the Eastern Region Outer Shenzhou."

Finally, he looked at Li Hongyou.

"Senior Sister Hong You, I'm counting on you."

In this team, Li Hongyou's role was beyond doubt. Even Li Luo himself being able to complete the current extreme battle was partly due to the empowerment Li Hongyou had given.

Li Hongyou nodded lightly, then quickly bit her fingertip. Fresh blood exuding a strange fragrance flowed out, and with her fingertip tracing, it transformed into two talismans flowing with Jin Guang.

Vermilion Fruit Transformation Divine Talisman!

The two Jin Guang talismans shot into Li Luo and Lv Qing'er's bodies, immediately causing the resonance force fluctuations emanating from the two of them to climb steadily.

At the same time, Li Hongyou also condensed three ordinary "Loyal Heart Golden Talismans." The effects of these three talismans were much weaker, but there was no choice—her current strength could only support her empowering Li Luo and Lv Qing'er with the "Vermilion Fruit Transformation Divine Talisman."

After rapidly completing this series of empowerments, Li Hongyou's rosy and beautiful delicate face also became much paler.

And Lv Qing'er, Xi Chan, and the others all thanked her.

The next instant, their figures suddenly shot out. One towering Marquis Platform after another surged skyward, each charging toward those Marquis powerhouses of the Thunder Tribulation Sacred Academy.

Above Li Luo's head, two ten-pillar golden platforms emerged like great suns, breathing in the energy of heaven and earth.

"Ten-pillar golden platforms, truly enviable."

Gazing at those two ten-pillar golden platforms flowing with a perfect aura, Fang Xingyun sighed softly. The next instant, seven Marquis Platforms surged skyward, and an extremely astonishing and powerful resonance force pressure enveloped the world.

"However, I truly don't believe that you, an Unparalleled Second Rank, can leap five ranks today to fight me!"

As the last word fell, thunder light suddenly surged within Fang Xingyun's pupils. He took one step forward, and his figure actually transformed into a bolt of thunder. As the void shattered, his figure appeared before Li Luo like a ghost.

Fang Xingyun's move was extremely unexpected—no one had imagined that he, a dignified Seven-Rank Marquis powerhouse, when facing Li Luo, a Second-Rank Marquis, would still catch him off guard and launch a direct killing strike!

Boom!

Fang Xingyun's five fingers clenched tightly, and he punched out. One could see a Lei Guang Quan Yin roaring forth, seemingly entwined with startling thunder, shattering the void, and in an invincible, domineering manner, it slammed toward Li Luo.

Fang Xingyun's attack was extremely swift, but fortunately Li Luo always maintained a vigilant and guarded heart, so even though he could only see thunder light flashing in his eyes, his palm also clenched in an instant.

The Dragon Elephant Thunder Blade flashed into appearance.

On the blade, thunder likewise cascaded like a waterfall, and at the same time the blade tilted slightly, like a shield, deflecting that thunderous fist.

Boom boom!

In that instant, startling thunder exploded, echoing throughout the entire vast Crossing space.

The void shattered like a mirror, and Li Luo's figure, under Fang Xingyun's wildly violent punch, was directly blasted flying several thousand zhang outward; the figure shooting backward collapsed several mountains.

At this moment, whether inside the Crossing space or outside, countless people were stunned and broke into an uproar.

This Fang Xingyun is truly fierce and decisive.

He won't have eliminated that Li Luo with just one punch, will he?
