Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 120 - 114 Yun Chenxing’s Death

"Dean Shangguan’s words are certainly true!" Jun Tiance spoke up immediately after, "Qin Qing, this boy, has far too little regard for the rules. During the assessment, he has repeatedly killed his fellow disciples. Personally, I suggest that as soon as he leaves the secret realm, he should be apprehended and killed on the spot to set an example!"

"I’d like to see who dares!" Bai Qiuhe let out a cold laugh, as a Flying Sword emerged from his body, circling around him, its Sword Qi flickering.

"Presumptuous!" Jun Tiance scolded angrily, "Bai Qiuhe, you’re just an ordinary elder, what right do you have to speak? Even if the East Campus disciples used formations to besiege the West Courtyard disciples, it was to achieve better results. Besides, they didn’t strike directly!

As for Qin Qing, he directly engaged and killed East Campus disciples. This boy has a malicious heart; his crime is unforgivable!"

"Heh..." At this point, Xu Fang, who had been silent, spoke in a cold voice, "Jun Tiance, are you really one of us from the West Courtyard, or are you from that East Campus?"

Xu Fang sneered inwardly, this Jun Tiance really didn’t bother to act at all.

Even though he was the vice-dean of the West Courtyard, he always sided with the East Campus.

"Dean Xu!" Jun Tiance replied with a sneer, "Whether it’s the East or West Courtyard, aren’t they all disciples of the Great Qian Martial Institute? The fact that Qin Qing killed disciples from either campus is a grave mistake!"

"So you also know that whether it be the East or West Courtyard, they are all disciples of our Great Qian Martial Institute?" Xu Fang’s voice suddenly grew louder, "When the East Campus disciples lured the puppets to kill the West Courtyard disciples, leading to the deaths of our disciples. Just because they didn’t act directly, they’re not in the wrong?

And Qin Qing, in attempt to stop the East Campus disciples from controlling the Spiritual Array, to prevent the West Courtyard disciples from being further slaughtered by puppets, that is a grave mistake? You repeatedly claim it’s for the Great Qian Martial Institute, but are you truly selfless and impartial, or are your intentions nefarious? Can’t others see that clearly?"

Xu Fang’s words silenced the people who had been clamoring just a moment ago.

First off, what Xu Fang said was indeed true.

These people all had ulterior motives.

Secondly, Xu Fang’s current strength was something they had to be wary of.

"So... Dean Xu, what do you mean?" The dean of the East Campus, Qin Chang, slowly spoke up.

"My meaning is, since they have no intention of holding back, let them engage in a fair contest. As for the consequences, let them bear it themselves!" Xu Fang said.

It was clear what Xu Fang meant.

Which was, during the trial process, whether the East Campus disciples attacked the West Courtyard disciples or the latter fought back, regardless of the methods used or the life-and-death outcome, it was for them to decide.

"Heh, since Dean Xu, you’ve put it that way, what can I say?" Qin Chang said indifferently.

...

At the same time, within Thousand Mechanism Valley.

Qin Qing once again repelled four East Campus disciples.

But at this moment, he noticed that the three disciples from the East Campus controlling the Spiritual Array had not stopped.

"These three guys... were they just acting before? Pretending to be forced into a corner, even begging me for mercy..."

Qin Qing’s gaze turned icy before he slapped his forehead.

"Their control of the Spiritual Array, doesn’t it seem advanced for newly initiated disciples?"

"It’s likely that these three aren’t new recruits from this level of the East Campus at all. Or perhaps, they are Spiritual Pattern Masters who were pre-arranged and placed here well in advance!"

Qin Qing thought quickly to himself.

Judging from the proficiency of these disciples, Qin Qing was certain that at least all three were Second Rank Spiritual Pattern Masters, and one of them might even be capable of inscribing Third Rank Spiritual Patterns.

The likelihood of three newly recruited disciples being so adept at Spiritual Patterns was extremely low.

Furthermore, these three were all too familiar with the formations within Thousand Mechanism Valley and the mechanisms of the puppets!

It was clear that they had come prepared!

"How despicable!"

Qin Qing’s eyes flickered, and just then, from among those West Courtyard disciples behind him, a cry of agony rose again.

And the voice of this cry, Qin Qing recognized well!

He turned his head, only to see Yun Chenxing!

A Spirit Spear from one of the puppet’s hands had pierced through Yun Chenxing’s chest.

Yun Chenxing had been protecting Ying Xiaodie behind him; it seemed he had taken the lethal blow intended for her.

"Chenxing!"

Ying Xiaodie cried out in distress, and even from her mouth shape, it was clear she was calling Yun Chenxing’s name.

Yun Chenxing turned his head, attempting to muster a slight smile, but blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Bang!"

The next moment, before Yun Chenxing even had the chance to bid farewell to Ying Xiaodie, the expressionless Spirit Spear Puppet exerted force, its long spear quivering, and instantly minced Yun Chenxing’s internal organs into mush.

"Ah... Ugh..."

Ying Xiaodie cried in agony, yet without a sound escaping her—such was the extremity of her pain!

A great sorrow rendered her speechless!

She held Yun Chenxing, her face a mix of blankness, numbness, weeping, and helplessness—numerous expressions flickering across it.

Meanwhile, the Spirit Spear Puppet once again raised its long spear, aiming at the motionless Ying Xiaodie!

"Whoosh!"

A blade’s light slashed down, blocking the Spirit Spear Puppet.

Fortunately, Gong Yanghe came to the rescue just in time.

"Ying Xiaodie. Restrain your grief!"

Gong Yanghe grabbed Ying Xiaodie, attempting to drag her away.

Gong Yanghe could not bear to look at Yun Chenxing in Ying Xiaodie’s embrace and turned his head away.

Yun Chenxing’s death was a gruesome one.

But what Gong Yanghe found even harder to face was the extreme sorrow in Ying Xiaodie’s expression.

Ying Xiaodie’s lips trembled, her head shaking; she was unwilling to leave, seemingly also unwilling to accept the reality unfolding before her.

"Swish, swish!"

The Spirit Spear Puppet once again swung its spear, coming at Gong Yanghe with a killing intent.

"Ah!"

Gong Yanghe flew into a rage.

"Die! You all deserve to die!"

Swinging his blue blade, he hacked desperately at the Spirit Spear Puppet.

In the distance, Qin Qing witnessed it all.

He had not expected that his brother with apparent temperament and genuine nature, Yun Chenxing, would die here in Thousand Mechanism Valley.

The day Yun Chenxing and Elder Zheng Kaihe invited him still lingered clear in Qin Qing’s mind.

Yun Chenxing had looked at him with hopeful eyes, and in those innocent eyes, Qin Qing felt as if he saw himself from the past...

But now!

"Brother Yun, you wished for me to join you in the end-of-year assessment. But the result..."

"Brother Yun, rest assured. Today, I will avenge you!"

Qin Qing’s entire being trembled!

"Die!"

Like an arrow released from its bow, he charged towards Qin Lie, his Azure Dragon Spear thrusting straight at Qin Lie’s head!

However, just as the Azure Dragon Spear was about to pierce Qin Lie’s head, Qin Lie suddenly retreated, zipping back like a bolt of lightning.

At the same time, seven extremely fierce sword Qi plummeted from the sky, slicing down from above Qin Qing’s head.

"A trap?"

Qin Qing’s expression subtly changed.

So Qin Lie had been standing here all along just to lure him into a trap.

"No wonder Mu Yunlan also never took action!"

Qin Qing realized suddenly.

"Qin Qing, just wait to die! Let’s see how you fend off seven Spirit Sword Puppets!" Qin Lie retreated backwards, laughing triumphantly.

"Heh, Qin Lie. Do you really think that seven Spirit Sword Puppets can stop me? Today, I, Qin Qing, will surely kill you!" Qin Qing said with extreme coldness.
