The Moon Spirit Lotus and its treasures must be his, and as for those followers of his, they could all be sacrificed.
If they couldn't withstand even this bit of disaster, then the ones who died were useless, and useless people had no right to follow him.
"Zhuang Zhou! Prepare to meet your end!"
Yun Zhonghe tapped the ground with his toes, covering thirty meters in a single step.
As he entered the forest, the terrain suddenly stirred the Spiritual Qi, and a flurry of Wind Blades swept toward him!
The Wind Blades, half a meter in diameter and thin as a cicada's wings, exuded endless killing intent.
He had been transported to the center of the canyon, completely unaware of the dangers and threats lurking at every step.
"One Sword to Annihilate Ten Directions!"
Yun Zhonghe swung his long sword with grace and agility, effortlessly sweeping away all the Wind Blades around him with a series of clangs!
"Such petty tricks, and you dare act up in front of me?"
Yun Zhonghe arrogantly locked onto Zhuang Zhou's aura and continued forward.
However, he had barely taken two steps.
With a loud crash, a Meteorite with a long fiery tail descended from the sky, containing endless killing intent, as if it had the power to destroy the heavens and the earth!
Yun Zhonghe's expression froze.
What was this?
Divine might to annihilate the world?
He reached for a Spirit Talisman of the Profound Connection Realm level from his waist, infused it with True Qi, and the talisman burned.
A Water Dragon, as thick as a barrel and over thirty meters long, roared softly, soared into the sky, and directly shattered the Meteorite!
Not far away, Zhuang Zhou watched in amazement.
Truly formidable!
This Yun Zhonghe not only had astonishing cultivation but was also far ahead of him in terms of equipment!
"Zhuang Zhou, will you surrender obediently, or shall I take action myself? You should know, if I catch you, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Yun Zhonghe's expression turned angry.
Zhuang Zhou's repeated antics had already touched his bottom line.
If Zhuang Zhou didn't die, the anger in his heart would be hard to quell!
Zhuang Zhou looked at Yun Zhonghe with a faint smile, "I'm right here, if you have the ability, come and kill me!"
"You forced me to take action!"
Yun Zhonghe charged forward with his sword, murderous intent surging, crushing everything in his path.
Wisps of black smoke spread from around him, like a demon emerging from hell.
"Demonic Overlord Physique! I didn't expect you to have such a physique!"
Seeing the black demonic aura around Yun Zhonghe, Zhuang Zhou's expression became much more serious.
The Demonic Overlord Physique was a special constitution, though not as ancient and mysterious as his Body of the Nine Suns, it was still a formidable physique, capable of battling the heavens and the earth, slaying all formidable foes, invincible and unstoppable!
"Heavenly Demon Breaks the Sun!"
Yun Zhonghe, less than ten meters from Zhuang Zhou, suddenly thrust his sword.
This strike was filled with demonic energy, and any living being touched by it would instantly be demonized, eternally damned, unable to escape!
"Yun Zhonghe, you've been tricked!"
As the sword energy approached.
Zhuang Zhou's smile blossomed.
His figure vanished, like an illusion.
"Land of Reflections!"
Yun Zhonghe's heart skipped a beat, recalling a terrain described in ancient texts, instantly realizing he had been fooled by Zhuang Zhou.
The Land of Reflections, reflecting images, aura, and form exactly the same, even capable of speaking, making it impossible to tell the difference.
Zhuang Zhou had left a reflection here to delay him, while he himself was already enjoying freedom somewhere else!
"Damn it, damn it! Zhuang Zhou, this time you won't escape my grasp! If I don't skin you and break your bones, my hatred won't be quenched!"
As Yun Zhonghe roared in anger.
The sword energy of Heavenly Demon Breaks the Sun shattered a giant stone half the height of a person.
The stone broke apart, and a powerful sword energy sealed within it suddenly slashed toward Yun Zhonghe.
This was Zhuang Zhou's backup plan, a chain of strategies. He had already reached the center of the canyon, so how could he not be prepared for someone to come and snatch the prize?
The canyon was full of dangers, perfect for setting up his backup plan.
The Mystic Stone behind the reflection was deliberately moved there by Zhuang Zhou, who only knew it contained great danger, but was unaware of what exactly was brewing inside!
Even with Yun Zhonghe's talents and methods, he couldn't withstand it.
Just as he was about to be pierced by the sword energy.
A milky white light descended from the sky, instantly teleporting Yun Zhonghe away.
"The day isn't even over, and Yun Zhonghe has already been teleported out by someone from outside? This is a bit too underhanded!"
A slight grievance arose in Zhuang Zhou's heart.
He hadn't expected the academy to do such a thing, breaking the rules for the sake of one student!
In the Sky-Watching Pavilion, Yun Zhonghe appeared.
He was drenched in cold sweat, still shaken!
The sword energy sealed within the Mystic Stone he had just shattered was clearly at the Golden Core Realm level, capable of slaying gods and demons, and even if he used all his methods, he couldn't withstand it!
Fortunately, someone from Northern Heaven Academy saved him, otherwise, that strike would have killed him a thousand times over!
As for Zhuang Zhou, he must die. Using the treacherous terrain, he almost got him killed. If Zhuang Zhou didn't die, the anger in his heart would be hard to quell!
"Dean Chen, what are you doing? Disrupting the competition order and actively breaking the rules?"
At this moment, Lin Xuerou took the initiative to challenge, her gaze sharp like a sword's edge!
Indeed!
It was Chen Guangming who had acted, triggering the mechanism set on Yun Zhonghe in advance, saving him.
If they had waited until the assessment officially ended, Yun Zhonghe's bones would have been shattered!
"Yun Zhonghe is exceptionally talented, with a special physique, a rare talent in Northern Heaven Academy in a century! Such a genius dying in the assessment would be too much of a pity! Saving him is for the sake of humanity and the academy!"
Chen Guangming put on a compassionate facade as he spoke.
"But Dean Chen, the academy has its own rules! No one can interfere with the fairness of the entrance assessment! Otherwise, it's interfering with the academy's rules! I hope you can provide a reasonable explanation and give an account to all the teachers and students! Otherwise..."
Before Lin Xuerou could finish.
Chen Guangming interrupted, "Enough! Lin Xuerou, remember, you're just a small teacher, you have no right to question the decisions of me, the vice dean! What I say goes! If we don't save Yun Zhonghe, do you want to watch the academy's future be buried in a mere entrance assessment?"
Chen Guangming used his position to suppress Lin Xuerou, as the saying goes, a higher official rank crushes people.
Lin Xuerou wanted to say more but was stopped by other teachers nearby.
Northern Heaven Academy had a strict hierarchy, and Chen Guangming, as the vice dean, wielded great power.
Challenging Chen Guangming would bring Lin Xuerou no benefit!
"I will account for this matter to the academy! Yun Zhonghe, you should leave first, find a place to rest and recover! Northern Heaven Academy will focus on nurturing you! Your talent and great potential will not be wasted!"
Chen Guangming spoke to Yun Zhonghe in an exceptionally gentle tone, as if the other party was already his descendant.
