Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 128 - 122: Turning the Tide
Mu Yunlan’s demonstrated strength truly dazzled everyone.
As a freshly inducted disciple, Mu Yunlan’s cultivation had only broken through to the Soul Refinement Realm not long before, and even if her cultivation made swift progress during this period, it could at best be in the middle to late stages of the Soul Refinement Realm.
Yet the combat power she displayed at this moment seemed to be comparable to a cultivator in the middle to late stages of the Divine Might Realm.
"Back then, when Qin Qing was able to defeat Shangguan Feixing, Shangguan Feixing was of the Divine Might Realm’s cultivation. And now that Mu Yunlan can completely suppress Qin Qing, it seems that her strength is even above that of Shangguan Feixing!"
"It’s clear she’s in the Soul Refinement Realm, yet she possesses strength not inferior to that of most Great Martial Masters in the Divine Might Realm. Is this what they call a prodigy?"
"Having the ability to fight across a Great Realm, if that’s not a genius, then what is!?"
"Speaking of which, these five individuals from the East Campus are truly eye-opening, with five people dominating over fifteen!"
People around were discussing animatedly.
However, just as everyone marveled, the aura emanating from Qin Qing suddenly changed.
"Ao..."
A Dragon’s Chant resounded, soaring into the sky.
Around Qin Qing shimmered azure spiritual patterns that suddenly ignited like azure flames, enveloping his entire body.
"It’s time for the counterattack!"
Following Qin Qing’s declaration, those West Courtyard Disciples who had been retreating stopped in their tracks, quickly dispersing in a deliberate fashion to surround the five from the East Campus intent on killing them.
At the same time, Spiritual Patterns flickered into existence on the bodies of these West Courtyard Disciples.
"Spirit Soldiers!"
"Defensive Spiritual Treasures!"
Mu Yunlan’s gaze scanned these West Courtyard Disciples, who had abruptly stopped.
In the hands or on the bodies of these West Courtyard Disciples, offensive Spirit Soldiers or defensive Spiritual Treasures had been revealed!
This sudden development caused the looks on the faces of Qin Chang, Linghu Leiyue, and others from the East Campus to change.
Equally, the expressions of West Courtyard’s Vice Dean Shangguan Jian, Jun Tiance, and Guan Hao were also ones of shock.
"Heh heh..." Qin Chang couldn’t help but sneer, looking at Xu Fang: "Dean Xu, you really do have quite the tactics. I truly thought that you would not allow West Courtyard Disciples to wield Spirit Soldiers in battle."
Xu Fang replied with a faint smile, "Dean Qin, if your East Campus Disciples did not use Spirit Soldiers, then naturally my West Courtyard Disciples wouldn’t have made use of them either. But since you’ve used them, why can’t we?"
Qin Chang harrumphed coldly, shifting his gaze back to the Martial Arts Ground.
By this time, the scandal-ridden disciples of the East Campus were completely besieged by fifteen from the West Courtyard.
The situation where those fifteen West Courtyard Disciples had been suppressed was completely reversed; instead, it was now the five from the East Courtyard who were utterly suppressed, forced to switch from offense to defense, while the West Courtyard Disciples, under Qin Qing’s leadership and command, relentlessly pursued and struck, completely in control of the situation!
At this point, everyone came to understand.
It turned out that, from the beginning, the apparent disadvantage of the West Courtyard Disciples was nothing but an illusion.
It was an illusion deliberately revealed by the West Courtyard Disciples, on one hand to solidify their formation for battle and on the other to lure the enemy deeper—in the process relaxing the vigilance of the five East Campus Disciples and finding an opportunity to counterattack!
"Whoosh!"
Qin Qing stepped forward, his body wreathed in swirling azure flames.
At the same time, his Martial Soul also manifested at this moment.
Of course... Qin Qing did not reveal his true Martial Soul to the public.
What manifested in the void behind him now was an azure sun, the Azure Sun hanging high, burning with blazing azure flames, turning the vast expanse of sky and void into a world of azure.
But if the top-most experts were here to examine closely, they would discover that within that dazzling Azure Sun suspended in the void, a vast Azure Dragon lay coiled!
Aside from the Martial Soul’s manifestation, Qin Qing’s blood was also set ablaze within him.
This caused boiling waves of heat to roll off him, making the air around him steam.
"Whir whir whir whir whir..."
Qin Qing brandished the Azure Dragon Spear, slashing and thrusting; the spear’s glow flickered like flames, relentlessly scorching and rampaging through the air!
Mu Yunlan met his blows with her sword, the Sword Qi crisscrossing dramatically.
"Clang clang bang bang!"
The gleam of the spear and the Sword Qi collided repeatedly, while the azure long spear and the black Longsword also clashed incessantly.
However, Mu Yunlan kept retreating.
The look of horror in her eyes grew ever more intense.
"How can his strength be so formidable?"
At this moment, Qin Qing had almost fully unleashed his own strength, and even a Great Martial Master at the Perfection of the Divine Might Realm might not be able to contend with him in terms of power.
Mu Yunlan’s strength was never her strong suit, so she was directly suppressed by Qin Qing in that aspect.
What’s more, Qin Qing’s speed was extremely fast. He moved with the force and swiftness of a dragon, resembling a Divine Dragon descending upon the world. His Azure Dragon Spear thrust forward one after another, like a torrential storm, allowing Mu Yunlan no chance to catch her breath!
All the spectators involuntarily held their breath at this moment.
However, just when everyone thought that Qin Qing was about to overpower Mu Yunlan with his strength, suddenly, the tip of his spear pivoted, and he changed direction, swiftly moving away to another side.
Qin Qing’s target was, unexpectedly, Qin Lie!
"Be careful, Qin Lie!"
Mu Yunlan shouted.
Upon hearing Mu Yunlan’s cry, Qin Lie hurriedly looked over and saw Qin Qing charging toward him.
"Not good!"
Qin Lie’s pupils suddenly contracted.
He quickly tried to retreat backward.
"Qin Lie, where do you think you’re escaping to?" Gong Yanghe laughed heartily, throwing something with a swing of his hand.
A small dark golden cauldron flew out from his hand.
The moment this golden cauldron flew out, it suddenly enlarged in the air.
Immediately, golden light descended from it, pressing down on Qin Lie.
In an instant, Qin Lie felt as if he was weighed down by mountains, with an immense force bearing down on him, making it impossible for him to move even an inch.
And at this moment, the brilliance of Qin Qing’s spear was already sweeping toward him.
"Puchi!"
Like a blade slicing through tofu, Qin Lie’s neck was cleanly severed by the Azure Dragon Spear.
His entire head fell to the ground, rolling over a dozen times.
Even when it finally came to a stop, one could still see his eyes wide open, seemingly unable to believe what had happened. Fear was evident in his eyes, as well as complex memories, including irreversible regrets...
"I said, today I would surely kill you!"
Qin Qing said faintly, looking down at Qin Lie’s severed head on the ground.
Qin Lie’s head appeared to twitch at the corner of his mouth for a moment, but then, the light in his eyes quickly faded...
Qin Lie was dead!
After Qin Lie’s death,
The other four disciples of the East Campus immediately collapsed!
"Puchi!"
Ying Xiaodie’s sword pierced through Yuan Cheng’s chest.
"Die!"
Ying Xiaodie’s voice was low, tears streaming from her eyes.
Killing Yuan Cheng was a way of avenging Yun Chenxing in part, easing some of the pain in her heart.
"Fang Hu! It’s your turn now!"
Mo Liangsong and Lu Zihe attacked Fang Hu together.
When they were surrounded by the Thousand Mechanism Puppets in the Thousand Mechanism Valley, Fang Hu took the opportunity to kick them while they were down, nearly putting them to death.
In just a few breaths, Fang Hu was impaled in the forehead by Mo Liangsong’s sword and fell dead to the ground!
On the other side, Gong Yanghe’s blade took the life of Shangguan Yu.
Of the five East Campus disciples, four were dead!
And at that moment, an incredibly terrifying intent to kill suddenly erupted from Mu Yunlan.
An axe light broke through the air, slashing towards Qin Qing!
At this time, in Qin Qing’s eyes, this axe light seemed to be splitting heaven and earth!
Qin Qing was certain that he had never faced such a frightful might of killing intent before...
Meanwhile, on the platform beside the Martial Arts Ground, Qin Chang and others abruptly stood up.
