Chapter 1269: Chapter 1269: So... Strong...
A punch wrapped in golden light came crashing heavily.
"Saint King Realm Eighth Layer?" Xiao Yi frowned, yet continued savoring the fine wine in his hand, not even sparing a glance at Jin Hu.
This level of martial artist was not even worth him drawing his sword.
Bang... Bang... Bang...
Suddenly, a vast area of quicksand appeared beneath Jin Hu’s feet.
Jin Hu’s burly figure instantly sank into it.
At the same time, several soft strands of quicksand rose, ensnaring his legs and body.
Bang... Bang... Bang...
One after another, nine sand pillars erupted from the quicksand, surrounding Jin Hu.
One end of the sand pillars, sharp like spears, pointed directly at Jin Hu’s throat.
"I advise you not to move recklessly." Tang Sha coldly glanced at Jin Hu.
Jin Hu’s face was full of anger, but he could clearly feel a violent aura from the quicksand, as if it could explode at any moment.
"Impressive." Xiao Yi glanced at Tang Sha, a look of slight surprise appearing on his face.
Tang Sha’s technique, instantly sinking the enemy with quicksand, followed by entangling them, and finally the sand pillars erupting, was seamless.
With a wave of his hand, he executed this enemy-capturing, entangling, and killing technique.
"Cangyun Academy, dare to meddle in our Golden Dawn Academy’s affairs?" Jin Hu looked coldly at Tang Sha.
"You needn’t try to pressure me with Golden Dawn Academy." Tang Sha sneered.
"It is you who is causing trouble now."
"Golden Dawn Academy, though one of the Five Major Academies, doesn’t mean you can act recklessly."
"What if I insist on being reckless?" Jin Hu’s eyes turned cold.
"Feel free to try." Tang Sha’s tone was icy.
"Hmph." Jin Hu snorted coldly, suddenly making a move.
Tang Sha’s eyes squinted, and he shouted softly, "Explode."
Bang... Bang... Bang...
The quicksand beneath Jin Hu’s feet, the soft sand on his body, and the sand pillars in front of him suddenly exploded like fiery sand.
Amid the violent rumblings, several surges of terrifying air currents burst out in all directions.
Within the air currents, the quicksand was as hard as iron, and wherever it passed, the ground, trees, and mountain walls were blasted into sieves.
Tang Sha raised his fingers lightly, and a curtain of sand formed in front of everyone, blocking the air currents and iron sand.
"That guy, won’t die, will he?" Qing Lin smirked, slightly astonished by Tang Sha’s prowess.
"He won’t die, at most get injured." Tang Sha said.
However, just as Tang Sha’s words fell, a golden light fist pierced through the sand curtain, heading straight for Xiao Yi.
"Hmph." A cold snort sounded by Xiao Yi’s side.
A shadow of a spear as fast as lightning broke through the air.
Clang...
A long spear instantly blocked the golden light fist.
The sand curtain fell, revealing Jin Hu’s unharmed figure.
However, his domineering eyes still flashed with anger.
And his golden light fist, unable to advance an inch, was effortlessly blocked by the spear tip of the storm-breaking spear.
"Wind Spear, Lih Fengxing." Jin Hu looked coldly at the person who had intervened.
It was indeed Lih Fengxing.
"Sky Dragon Peak, a direct disciple under the Heavenly Dragon Elder, quite capable indeed." Jin Hu narrowed his eyes.
"Your Golden Light Secret Technique from Golden Dawn Academy isn’t bad either." Lih Fengxing’s eyes were cold.
Jin Hu said coldly, "For the sake of two fleeing rats from Black Cloud Academy, is it worth going against our Golden Dawn Academy?"
"Worth it?" Lih Fengxing sneered but said nothing.
Still, an amazingly sharp wind attribute aura suddenly condensed at the spear tip.
If Jin Hu did not cease, his spear would directly pierce through Jin Hu’s fist.
Anyone with a title, such as Wind Spear Lih Fengxing, had already ascended to fame as a Heavenly Talent in the Central Region; none were ordinary.
"Brother Jin Hu." An icy glint flashed through Chu Rou’s beautiful eyes.
"Out of respect, I call you brother, but please do not go too far."
"Too far?" Jin Hu’s anger intensified upon hearing Chu Rou speak.
"Heavenly Hidden Academy clearly appointed you to host us, why leave because of that kid?"
Jin Hu’s furious gaze landed on Xiao Yi.
Chu Rou’s eyes turned cold, "As for receiving guests, it’s merely our Heavenly Hidden Academy showing local hospitality."
Jin Hu looked at Chu Rou and angrily said, "There are many connections between the Five Major Academies."
"Junior Sister Chu Rou, you’ve also sparred with me in martial arts many times."
"My feelings towards Junior Sister Chu Rou, I refuse to believe you’re unaware."
In the distance, the surrounding academy disciples showed surprised expressions.
"I’ve heard long ago that Jin Hu fancied that Tianyin Chu Rou, turns out it’s true."
"What’s surprising about that?"
"Tianyin Chu Rou already has a rare zither-type Martial Soul, and the Elder of Heavenly Sound Peak intends to make her the next Chief of Heavenly Sound Peak."
"With such talent, not to mention being a beauty, who wouldn’t be tempted?"
"Elegant music, beautiful notes, and even more beautiful person, there are plenty of Supreme Geniuses from the Five Major Academies pursuing Chu Rou."
As gossip picked up among the surrounding academy disciples, their discussions grew more animated.
Meanwhile, Jin Hu ignored the surrounding comments, keeping his gaze fixed intently on Chu Rou, eyes filled with obsession.
Chu Rou frowned, "I think Brother Jin Hu misunderstood."
"That was merely ordinary sparring between academy disciples."
"I don’t believe it." Jin Hu roared, "I, Jin Hu, as a disciple under the Great Power of Golden Dawn Academy, am I unworthy of you, Chu Rou?"
"Or is it because of that kid?"
Jin Hu’s increasingly angry eyes stared directly at Xiao Yi.
Chu Rou remained silent.
Xiao Yi also said nothing; to him, such trivial words were not worth his attention.
However, Jin Hu’s next words made Xiao Yi’s expression turn ice cold.
"What? Afraid to admit it?" Jin Hu glared at Xiao Yi.
"Tsk, tsk, it’s long been said that Black Cloud Academy is full of cowards."
"So-called domineering ways, only good at bullying ordinary forces."
"In front of our Golden Dawn Academy, what are you? A No.12 ranked Academy? An academy that can’t even break into the top ten?"
Jin Hu’s face was full of mockery, "What? In front of me, even one word of rebuttal you don’t dare utter?"
"A mere Sixth Layer of the Saint King Realm, if it weren’t for the disciples of Cangyun Academy and Heavenly Hidden Academy guarding you, would you even have the right to be seated here?"
"Your words are truly grating." Xiao Yi shook his head, setting down the bottle in his hand.
"Young Master Xiao Yi."
"Xiao Yi."
Beside him, Chu Rou, Fang Shushu, and others’ expressions changed.
Only Qing Lin looked on with excitement.
Only those familiar with Xiao Yi would know that under such a visage, Xiao Yi was already angered.
"Going to make a move?" Jin Hu sneered.
Then, Jin Hu looked at Chu Rou, "Junior Sister Chu Rou, open your eyes wide."
"To see clearly the gap between this coward and me."
"Which cowardly master of Black Cloud Academy taught such an arrogant disciple to dare act up in front of me?"
"You’re courting death." Xiao Yi’s eyes suddenly flared with killing intent.
Clang...
A cold white sword light flashed by.
The swift sword edge reached an extreme speed.
Even Lih Fengxing and others nearby did not see when the sword was drawn.
"So fast." Fang Shushu was startled.
As the cold white sword light fell, a streak of blood appeared on Jin Hu’s chest.
The next second, the streak of blood erupted, sharp to the extreme.
Jin Hu’s eyes widened... Boom...
His burly body collapsed with a rumble.
Under a Great Power of Golden Dawn Academy, with Eighth Layer of Saint King Realm cultivation, killed with one sword.
"So... so strong..." The surrounding academy disciples stood frozen in place.
...
Fifth update.
