Supreme Sword Sovereign-Chapter 69 – The Test from Azure Cloud Pavilion!
"Stay back!"
To Gu Han, Fatty at this moment was far more terrifying than Mei Yun.
"Don't come any closer!"
"I..."
Fatty squeezed his eyes shut and retched violently.
He swore that before stepping into that pile, he hadn't noticed anything amiss.
"Mei Yun!"
In the silent Barbaric Wilderness Forest, Fatty's voice rang out in frustration.
"Fatty will kill you!"
Hearing this.
Gu Han and Jiang Feng quickly retreated, maintaining their distance from Mei Yun.
"Is it such a big deal?"
Mei Yun was oblivious.
"It's just a pile of dung, can't you just clean it up? Let me tell you, stop making a fuss. Although the Demonic Beasts here have been driven to the trial area by the deputy heads, there might still be some that slipped through. If you attract a high-order Demonic Beast, that would be a real problem..."
"Stop talking!"
Gu Han's face changed drastically, as he tried to cover Mei Yun's mouth.
But...
It was too late!
"Roar!"
Before Mei Yun could finish, the ground shook as a ten-zhang long Demonic Beast burst out of the dense forest and stopped right in front of them.
Just by its aura.
It was at least Fourth-Order!
"We're done for!"
Jiang Feng turned pale.
"It... it really came!"
"Instructor Mei!"
Gu Han couldn't hold back any longer.
"This Demonic Beast is yours to deal with, we... we'll take our leave first!"
With that.
He grabbed Jiang Feng's shoulder and disappeared without a trace.
"Don't go!"
Mei Yun shouted desperately.
"It's just a Fourth-Order Demonic Beast, I could crush it with the back of my hand... Sigh!"
"You!"
Watching Gu Han and Jiang Feng vanish.
He turned back and glared fiercely at the Demonic Beast.
"My rare chance to bond, ruined by you, I... I must stew you today!"
***
"Roar!"
Hearing the Demonic Beast's roar behind him, Gu Han was shaken.
He had been careless!
One must never be soft-hearted with Mei Yun!
"Brother Gu."

Jiang Feng was also scared.
"Next time... we must think thrice."
"..."
Gu Han was speechless.
At this moment.
He finally understood how those students had died or gone mad.
In such a situation.
No one could withstand it!
"Bastard!"
Fatty, catching up at last, finally reached them.
"Look at the mess you've made!"
His eyes bloodshot, he stared down Gu Han.
"This isn't over, Fatty will have his revenge!"
Smelling the faint odor still lingering on Fatty, Gu Han and Jiang Feng instinctively stepped back, their faces full of disgust.
"You guys!"
Fatty was on the verge of collapse.
"I just washed, can you still smell it?"
"Yes."
Jiang Feng told the truth.
"Yes."
Gu Han nodded.
"It's especially pungent!"
"Bastard!"
Fatty, defenses shattered, lunged at Gu Han.
"I'll kill you!"
***
After sending the students into the trial area, the Instructors stayed outside, waiting for the final outcome.
In a dense forest.
Yu Hua, Jiang Yi, and Chen Fang gathered together.
"When do we act?"
"Wait a bit longer, acting now might startle the snake!"
"This time, it must be clean and decisive!"
"About the deputy heads..."
Chen Fang glanced at the sky.
"Could there be a problem?"
"No."
Yu Hua shook his head.
"Commander Zhou has already reached an agreement with the Seventh Prince. When the trial reaches a certain point, they'll find an excuse to draw them away... Heh, that's our chance to strike!"
With that.
His tone was filled with hatred.
"They won't escape, even if they had wings!"
"But..."
Jiang Yi hesitated.
"If the Seventh Prince is with him, then..."
"Him?"
Yu Hua sneered.
"The Prince has made it clear, his seventh brother is a fool... You know what to do!"
The two exchanged a glance, a chill in their hearts.
Indeed.
There was no such thing as family affection in the royal family!
"Hopefully."
Chen Fang took a deep breath.
"We can succeed in one go!"
"Don't worry!"
Yu Hua sneered: "This time, no one can save them!"
Unspoken words.
Besides the three of them, there was another strong backup, known only to him and Jiang Hong.
***
At this moment.
Gu Han was unaware of Yu Hua's conspiracy.
Amidst the noise, the three of them quickly reached the predetermined trial area.
As soon as they entered.
The roars of various Demonic Beasts were incessant.
"This place is set up with a sound-isolating formation."
Seeing Gu Han's confusion.
Jiang Feng explained: "To prevent disturbing the high-order Demonic Beasts in the depths and disrupting the Martial Academy trial."
"I see."
Gu Han suddenly understood.
"So if we lure Yu Hua here and kill him, the noise won't get out, right?"
"..."
Jiang Feng could only offer a wry smile.
Brother Gu... still fixated on that matter.
"Stay back when the time comes!"
Fatty, full of pent-up anger, naturally sought a target to vent on, "Repeatedly targeting Fatty, do you really think I'm a pushover? This time, I'll definitely slaughter him!"
"But..."
Jiang Feng had no strength left to persuade.
"Even if we act, how do we lure him over?"
"No need to lure."
Gu Han shook his head.
"That look in his eyes, it's off. I have a feeling he will come to me! Then let him see who is the hunter and who is the prey... Huh?"
Before he could finish.
He suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Following.
Fatty and Jiang Feng also noticed something off, staring intently at the ancient tree ahead that several people couldn't wrap their arms around!
Beneath the tree.
Stood a man.
Dressed in black, with a stern face and a large spear slanted beside him, over a zhang long!
Before seeing him.
Gu Han and Fatty hadn't sensed his presence at all!
This man...
Was strong!
And...
He was definitely not a student of the Great Qi Martial Academy!
Gu Han and Fatty exchanged a glance, instantly making a judgment.
"Let's go."
The man's intentions were unclear, and Gu Han didn't want to complicate matters, so he decided to leave.
"Wait."
The man's gaze swept over the three, and he spoke slowly.
"Which one of you is Gu Han?"
"Him!"
Before Gu Han could speak, Fatty had already sold him out.
"The real deal, I, Fatty, guarantee it with my reputation, it's him!"
"..."
Gu Han's temples throbbed.
Damn Fatty!
I'll deal with you later!
The man sized up Gu Han.
"So you're Gu Han?"
"Yes!"
"Extreme Realm?"
"Indeed!"
"Good!"
The man nodded, taking the spear in hand.
"Then let's begin."
"Begin what?"
Gu Han frowned deeply.
"And who are you?"
"Me?"
The man paused.
"Azure Cloud Pavilion, Yang Ying."
Gu Han's eyes narrowed.
"So, you're the test they spoke of!"
"It seems."
Yang Ying nodded.
"You already know."
"I never agreed to this test."
Gu Han's expression grew colder.
"What you decided on your own has nothing to do with me!"
"That's not important."

Yang Ying's expression remained unchanged.
"Those Azure Cloud Pavilion wishes to test, whether they agree or not, must accept!"
As he spoke.
He held the spear in his hand.
Instantly.
His entire demeanor changed.
Before.
His aura was concealed, with no signs of cultivation, appearing no different from an ordinary person.
But now...
He was like an unsheathed blade, his aura so sharp that just standing there put immense pressure on Gu Han!
And his cultivation level.
At least Yuan Gathering Eighth Layer or above!
"Retreat!"
Even Fatty's face was serious as he pulled Jiang Feng back.
"I wonder."
Jiang Feng was worried.
"If the test is failed, what will... happen?"
"I don't know."
Yang Ying shook his head.
"You might die, or be crippled, what exactly happens... depends on his strength!"
"Heh."
Gu Han scoffed.
"I didn't expect your so-called Azure Cloud Pavilion to be so overbearing."
"How Azure Cloud Pavilion conducts itself requires no explanation to others."
The spear in his hand slowly raised.
A thread of aura locked onto Gu Han.
"You just need to accept the test."
"Roar!"
At that moment.
A second-tier Demonic Beast, as if chased in desperation, burst out of the forest and charged towards them!
Yang Ying's expression remained calm.
"Are you ready?"
"Ready your ass!"
With a roar.
Gu Han's Spiritual Power surged to its limit!
Such an overload caused even his robust Meridians to feel discomfort.
His sword in hand.
Nine strands of Great Expansion Sword Qi slashed towards Yang Ying!
He went all out from the start!
"Good!"
Yang Ying's eyes brightened, not dodging or avoiding, he raised his spear, his aura doubling in strength, and thrust directly at Gu Han!
"Take my spear first!"
Boom!
In an instant!
Their auras collided, creating a violent tide of Spiritual Power!
And the Demonic Beast...
Without even a cry, it exploded into a mist of blood!
