Chapter 1270: Chapter 1270: One Less Team
"Jin Hu."
The disciples of Golden Dawn Academy exclaimed and rushed over hurriedly.
At this moment, Jin Hu lay powerless on the ground, continuously spitting out blood from his mouth.
On his chest, a sword-shaped bloodstain was shockingly gruesome.
Blood, incessantly gushed out from the wound, flowing unstoppably.
In just a few seconds, the blood had already stained the ground red.
"Black Cloud Academy, you’re courting death," a disciple of Golden Dawn Academy roared in fury.
Streams of golden light emerged instantly.
Bursts of aura suddenly erupted, instantly locking onto Xiao Yi.
Almost in a flash, the entire peak rolled with stormy clouds.
Golden Dawn Academy was one of the Five Great Academies.
And those who could participate in this competition were all elite disciples within the academy.
The furious outbreak of such a group of elite disciples from the Golden Dawn Academy was predictably powerful.
"Wanna fight? I’m not afraid of you," Qing Lin stood up.
Xiao Yi shook his head, signaling Qing Lin with a glance to stop.
"Think it over before you make a move," Xiao Yi said, as the Cold Flame Sword in his hand echoed with a clang.
"I don’t mind if there’s one less academy team before the tournament."
With those words, the surrounding atmosphere erupted instantly.
Every academy disciple present was a heavenly talent and naturally understood Xiao Yi’s implication.
"Arrogant."
"He’s implying that if the Golden Dawn Academy dares to make a move, none will leave today?"
"Such big talk, does he really think that just because he defeated one at the Eighth Layer of the Saint King Realm, he can stand up to the disciples of Golden Dawn Academy?"
"A rank 12 academy challenging one of the Five Great Academies, Golden Dawn Academy? That’s just overestimating oneself."
Voices of derision sounded.
But at the center of the incident, none of the disciples from Golden Dawn Academy spoke; instead, their faces suddenly changed dramatically.
They could clearly feel that, unknowingly, an icy Sword Intent had instantaneously suppressed them.
That chill, even with their level of cultivation, made them shiver involuntarily.
Whoosh...
Just at this moment, a golden star suddenly flashed in.
The pressure from the Sword Intent instantly dissipated as the star passed through.
"Senior Brother," the disciples of Golden Dawn Academy breathed a sigh of relief.
Earlier, Jin Chen hadn’t appeared.
Yet, with one move now, he instantly dispelled Xiao Yi’s Sword Intent.
Then, the golden star continued towards Xiao Yi.
The blinding golden light made it nearly impossible for everyone around to open their eyes.
Except for a few talented heavenly talents, no one could directly face this golden light.
"Xiao Yi," Qing Lin’s expression immediately turned serious.
Intuition told him that this golden light was very dangerous.
Xiao Yi nodded but his expression remained unchanged.
Watching the incoming golden star, Xiao Yi merely smiled faintly, "Interesting, you’ve got some skill."
Gripping the Cold Flame Sword tightly, a tint of blood red began to coalesce.
As the golden star approached, the Cold Flame Sword was also ready to strike.
The two seemed ready to engage in a fierce battle in the next second.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly tore through the sky.
A streak of Sword Qi flickered by, intervening perfectly between the two.
"Disperse," a low voice commanded.
The golden star, in an instant, shed its golden light, revealing Jin Chen within.
"Is it you?" Jin Chen frowned looking at the newcomer.
Qing Lin’s expression lit up with joy, "Senior Brother Mo Youu."
Mo Youu nodded, glanced at Xiao Yi, "Junior Brother Xiao Yi, are you alright?"
"I’m fine," Xiao Yi shook his head.
Mo Youu nodded, his cold gaze turned towards Jin Chen.
"Do you still want to continue?"
"If so, I, Mo Youu, will keep you company."
With those words, Mo Youu took a light step forward.
Even just one step seemed to unleash a surging aura rolling like waves towards the Golden Dawn Academy disciples.
"Forget Sorrow Sword, Mo Youu," the faces of the Golden Dawn Academy disciples changed.
Jin Chen squinted his eyes.
Bang... Jin Chen swept his sleeve and dispersed the aura around him.
Obviously, he had restrained himself.
"Senior Brother Jin Chen," the Golden Dawn Academy disciples exclaimed, "Jin Hu, he..."
"He’s not dead yet," Jin Chen stood with hands behind his back, looking at Jin Hu, who lay in a pool of blood.
"With the Golden Light Secret Technique protecting him, he’s just seriously injured for now, take him back to the residence first."
"Yes," the disciples of Golden Dawn Academy responded, picking Jin Hu up.
Jin Chen, with a cold gaze, looked directly at Mo Youu, "This fight can wait until the actual Hundred Schools’ battle begins."
"As for you," Jin Chen slightly shifted his gaze towards Xiao Yi.
"If your pressure on my junior brothers with Sword Intent was not relying on that Mid-grade Holy Artifact in your hand."
"I might have held you in higher regard."
"Of course, during the Hundred Schools battle, I will also have a fight with you."
"As you wish," Xiao Yi remained aloof, not saying much.
"Let’s go," Jin Chen said coldly and led the disciples of Golden Dawn Academy away.
In the corner, Qing Lin pouted, "A bunch of cowards."
"So this is the renowned Forget Sorrow Sword, Mo Youu?" Tang Sha and the others looked at Mo Youu, cupping their hands in salute.
"You’ve lived up to your reputation."
"Overpraised," Mo Youu smiled lightly, "I didn’t expect Junior Brother Xiao Yi to have so many heavenly talent friends."
As he spoke, Mo Youu’s gaze settled on Fang Shushu, eyes revealing a hint of battle intent.
Fang Shushu smiled, "Indeed, those who can be with Brother Xiao Yi are not ordinary."
"Either they’re perverts, or they’re little perverts."
Fang Shushu looked at Mo Youu, then at Qing Lin.
"If we’re to meet at the Hundred Schools’ battle, a fight is inevitable."
"Alright," Mo Youu nodded.
Then, Mo Youu turned to Xiao Yi, "Junior Brother Xiao Yi, shall we head back to the residence first?"
"The people of Golden Dawn Academy are narrow-minded, better go back to avoid further troubles."
"Alright," Xiao Yi nodded, looking at Tang Sha and the others, "Seems we’ll have to catch up next time."
Everyone smiled, "No rush, the Hundred Schools’ battle will last quite some time, we’ll have plenty of chances to meet again."
"Good," Xiao Yi smiled, "Then let’s bid farewell for now."
Everyone nodded, got up, and cupped their hands in farewell.
After a round of goodbyes, Xiao Yi and the two others left.
On the way, Qing Lin was full of satisfaction, "The Golden Dawn Academy cowards quickly backed off when they saw Senior Brother Mo Youu."
"Oh?" Xiao Yi showed a puzzled expression.
Indeed, he had noticed the look of fear on the faces of the Golden Dawn Academy disciples just now.
Only Jin Chen had shown a fighting spirit, but it wasn’t very certain.
"You don’t know?" Qing Lin looked at Xiao Yi in confusion.
Xiao Yi shook his head.
Qing Lin chuckled, "Did you forget that Senior Brother Mo Youu has been sweeping across major forces in the western region these years?"
"Golden Dawn Academy is the strongest in the western region; and Jin Chen is the strongest heavenly talent there."
"Which means, those guys have been defeated by Senior Brother Mo Youu before."
"But I heard, after Senior Brother Mo Youu challenged the disciples of Golden Dawn Academy, he went through a hard battle."
Qing Lin said, looking at Mo Youu.
Mo Youu nodded, "There are some old guys in Golden Dawn Academy who are quite domineering and arrogant."
"Hence, I suggested that you, Junior Brother Xiao Yi, should leave first."
"If I guessed right, those old guys would soon come looking."
