Chapter 2906 The Barrier Forms

BOOM!

When Gu Feis merciless slash fell, Mu Qingyuns sword shattered once more. And this time, Mu Qingyun was sent tumbling black.

However, she stood up again, her body covered in blood and quivering. Her fresh blood dripped onto the ground, leaving scarlet blooms.

Mu Qingyun felt like all her energy had been exhausted, but she still stood. She only had one thought: I cannot fall. Even in death, I have to remain standing.

In the first clash, Mu Qingyun had used up all her energy, and the next two exchanges contained only her will. Now do you understand? asked Heaven Master Yun Yang. This formless, inexplicable power is ephemeral but also real.

Heaven Master, dont just hold lessons for us. Look at her. Please go save senior apprentice-sister Qingyun. Are you really going to just watch as shes killed? Is a genius of the G.o.d Inst.i.tute going to fall just like this? One disciple couldnt bear it.

Heaven Master Yun Yang shook his head. Rules are rules. They cannot be changed. As soon as Mu Qingyun admits defeat, she will be transported out. But if she refuses to speak, no one can go in to save her. It depends on herself.

In the first two parts of the divine compet.i.tion, disciples could not retreat, even in death. But in the third part, in the fighting between groups, if a disciple was afraid of death, as long as they shouted that they conceded, they would be brought out by the formation.

However, that would be giving up their qualifications to compete. Even if their group did win in the end, it would have nothing to do with the person who gave up.

Because of it, unless there was no other choice, people wouldnt shout that they gave up. That was not just a loss but also a stain that they would never be able to wash away.

Just at this moment, Gu Fei once more attacked Mu Qingyun, who was barely able to stand. There was no longer a sword in her hand.

As Gu Fei was charging toward her, the spectating disciples were filled with fury and wished that they could charge in and chop him to pieces.

Mu Qingyun could not do anything. The only thing in her head was Long Chens words: Even when facing death, dont close your eyes. Have the bravery to face it.

Seeing the sword get closer and closer to her, Mu Qingyun smelled death. She had never been so close to death in her life.

However, the moment the sword was less than half a foot from Mu Qingyuns neck, a broadsword blocked it.

Gu Fei, Ill kill you!

It was Li Cai who had arrived. His eyes were scarlet with rage, and runes lit up all over his body. He was like a wild beast.

Having seen everything that had happened here, he rushed over with his full power and saved Mu Qingyun.

Fortunately, Li Cais latent talent had been awoken by Long Chen, so his sword was able to send Gu Fei flying back.

Even though Li Cai himself was knocked back as well, his hand bleeding, he didnt care. Even as Gu Fei followed up with a piercing blow to his chest, he ignored it and hacked his sword at Gu Feis head.

Seeing this, Gu Fei was shocked and enraged. He naturally was unwilling to exchange his life for Li Cais, so he hastily switched moves.

BOOM!

The hasty adjustment caused Gu Fei to stagger back, coughing up another mouthful of blood.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and Gu Fei tumbled back, just barely avoiding Li Cais killing blow that left a deep line in the ground. This one blow made Gu Fei become covered in cold sweat.

Before Gu Fei could find his balance, Li Cai attacked once again. His three moves were all fluid and quick, seeking to take his opponents life.

How fierce! The disciples outside exclaimed in amazement. Each of Li Cais moves was a true killing blow. He was like a fierce general on the battlefield.

Gu Fei was actually sent into a fl.u.s.ter by Li Cais attacks. Countless people clapped and cheered at this turn of events, hoping for Li Cai to kill him. Even in the Immortal Inst.i.tute, Gu Fei was not well-liked, almost to the same level as Chu Kuang.

Suddenly, Gu Fei let out a shout. Grabbing hold of an opportunity, he blocked Li Cais attack, forcing him back. After that, Gu Fei followed up with an attack to take back the flow of offense.

However, when that sword was about to reach Li Cais neck, Li Cais broadsword also pierced toward Gu Feis Dantian. It was extremely rapid and vicious.

Gu Fei fumed. He could clearly kill Li Cai right now, but the price for that would be having his Dantian struck by Li Cais attack. Although he had a protective divine ability, if he couldnt block it, then today, he would truly be crippled.

In the end, Gu Fei cowered again and switched to blocking, and the hasty block resulted in him being pressed back. Li Cai chased after him once again, almost cutting off half of his face.

Li Cais fighting technique made peoples hearts pound. He was incredibly vicious, practically throwing away his own life.

Scram!

Just as Li Cai was forcing Gu Fei to flee wretchedly, looking as if he might take Gu Feis life at any moment, multiple people charged off of the altar. One of them held a bronze rod and smashed it at Li Cai.

BOOM!

Li Cai hastily blocked, only for him to sense an immense power pa.s.s through his arms. As a result, he almost lost hold of his broadsword and was forced back thirty meters before stabilizing his stance.

You want to compete with power? You arent even fit to carry my shoes, sneered the wielder of the bronze rod.

He had a large figure, being two heads taller than an ordinary person. The upper half of his clothes had exploded, revealing his copper skin that had veins wiggled beneath it like countless serpents. Moreover, his Blood Qi was like a volcano that had been acc.u.mulating for ten thousand years and was ready to burst.

Its Yuan Xinghui! How is he so powerful? Luo Ning was shocked. Yuan Xinghui was ranked three on the immortal rankings. Normally, he was a complete fool and had relied entirely on Gu Fei to reach third place. Hence, Luo Ning had never cared about him.

However, today, he revealed astonis.h.i.+ng power. It was unbelievable. He had truly hidden himself deeply.

Yuan Xinghui was about to chase after Li Cai when the altar suddenly quivered. A pillar of light then soared and enveloped the altar.

Its over. The barrier has been activated.

Mu Qingyuns heart fell to the bottom of despair. Her vision turned dark and she almost pa.s.sed out.
