Chapter 61 The Great Qing Suppression

Surrounded by the jungle of the South China Sea islands, a young man in a blue brocade robe stared at the head in front of him with a sinister look in his eyes. He twitched his lips and, after a long while, squeezed out a cold smile.

"Okay, very good!"

Beside the young man, a round-faced young man who looked harmless watched this scene silently.

Then, he lowered his eyes slightly, and the girl in red behind him stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear.

The round-faced youth's expression turned slightly serious. Just as he was about to say something to Jialan, who had received his fiancée's head, Jialan suddenly raised her hand.

A beam of light shot out from Jialan's hand, striking the head that had been dying with its eyes wide open. The head turned into a shower of blood foam, which splattered like a bloody rain, falling into Jialan's increasingly blood-soaked vision.

After calming herself down for a moment, Jialan looked at the round-faced youth and asked with a mixture of politeness and doubt, "I originally intended to spare her life, but now it seems unnecessary. Brother Zhao, you wouldn't be showing her any mercy just because we're both from prestigious families, would you?"

That harmless-looking, round-faced young man was none other than Zhao Jixing, the winner of this year's Rookie of the Year competition.

His appearance is quite different from his number one ranking as a fierce person, but anyone who thinks he is an easy person to get along with just because he looks harmless is crazy.

With Zhao Jixing's strength and methods, even the arrogant and narrow-minded Jialan would have to rank below him to maintain his position as the number one among the prodigies.

Seeing Jialan smash his fiancée's head with his own hands, Zhao Jixing stood with his hands behind his back and smiled: "Of course not, it's just that Hongyi just sent word that Qu Shu and Mingyue have escaped our encirclement."

Upon hearing those two names, Jialan lost all her previous apprehension. With a flick of her sleeve, she scoffed, "Hmph! What can these two stray dogs do? I've now reached the Great Perfection of the Enlightenment Stage. They were already severely injured by the three of us before, let alone now!"

After saying that, Jialan wiped non-existent dust off her hands and whispered into the darkness, "Brother Ji, now that Lin Zhao has appeared, you can finally go all out, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the dark corner, which had been dead silent, finally stirred.

A strangely handsome young man emerged from the darkness. He wore a red brocade robe, and his thin, blood-red lips curled into a wicked smile. His slightly narrowed phoenix eyes revealed a carefree madness that sent chills down the spines of everyone present.

"Lin Zhao, she's yours now. Capture her alive and give her to me." Ji Xiao patted the large sword slung over his shoulder and laughed heartily, "My sword has been wanting to drink her blood for a long time."

……

Under the tallest ancient tree in the jungle of the South China Sea, the two groups of people finally met.

After Lin Zhao and Qu Shumingyue reunited, they found that there were only seven or eight people left around them. Seeing their pale faces, Lin Zhao quickly stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"

Mingyue held her hand: "Jialan, Zhao Jixing, and Ji Xiao have joined forces, along with nearly a third of the freshmen team they lead, to target other freshmen, including us."

Qu Shu stood there silently, and only after seeing that Lin Zhao was unharmed did she speak: "All of our people except these have been eliminated by them."

Lin Zhao's gaze turned completely gloomy.

Lin Zhao took out ten Rejuvenation Pills from his spatial ring, gave one to each of them, and when he saw that they were about to refuse, he said, "I am partly responsible for the fact that you have been targeted this time, so there is no need for you to be polite with me."

Qu Shu shook his head: "Even without you, they wouldn't let us go. Three days ago, the academy issued a new rule on the Tian Tong Mirror, canceling the previous rule of awarding different colored belts based on the ranking of the competition, and instead using points to determine the belt color. If an individual's points reach more than 400, they can get a green belt, which is above the yellow belt. So sooner or later they will set their sights on us."

Lin Zhao was taken aback. There were only a little over a thousand people in the entire competition. To get four hundred points, if you were to rely solely on the disciples, you would probably have to eliminate almost a third of them.

Judging from Qu Shu's words, it seems that all three of them have the same idea? Wouldn't that require 1200 points?
"We probably can't raise enough, can we?" Lin Zhao remembered that Zhao Jixing and Jialan had a third of their disciples who had defected to them.

A Penglai disciple standing beside Qu Shu explained with a bitter expression, "They found some spirit cores and spirit herbs, and eliminating us will be enough." The Penglai disciples have always been proud and arrogant, and they have never bothered with forming alliances or joining groups. The Yaoyue Sect is the same. Who would have thought that this very reason would drive their leader and them to this desperate situation?

Lin Zhao pondered for a moment and asked, "So they want to eat everyone except their own team members?"

A girl standing next to Mingyue, her eyes reddening from the fear and anxiety she had felt these past few days, along with the elimination of her other sisters, nodded firmly, holding back her tears: "Yes, they call this operation the Great Purge."

Seeing this, Lin Zhao patted her shoulder silently, then looked at Qu Shu and Ming Yue.

"Gentlemen, are you interested in pulling off a big heist with me?"

Before Qu Shu could answer, the system in her mind exploded: "Say yes! Say yes! Say yes! Aa ...

Mingyue asked, "What does Sister want Xiaoyue to do?"

"How far have their massive crackdown progressed these past few days?"

Qu Shu ignored the system within her body and said, "About one-sixth of the disciples have already been eliminated."

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "So that means there are still half of the disciples left? What if all of these disciples gather together to counterattack?"

If even the two strongest rookie kings have been forced into this predicament, one can only imagine how terrified the remaining disciples must be, being treated as prey.

However, if these prey gather together, it remains to be seen who the hunter will be!
The girl beside Mingyue had a hint of interest in her eyes, but it quickly died down: "They won't agree. They have three new kings over there, while we only have two. Besides, neither the young master nor the Holy Son of Penglai are willing to lead the communication."

Otherwise, even if we couldn't directly resist the alliance of those three, the situation wouldn't be as dire as it is today.

“Besides, neither Qu Shu nor I are a match for Zhao Jixing,” Mingyue said. “They know this too, and they won’t agree.”

Lin Zhao said, "Are we only two people and we can't beat those three? How about adding me?"

"You?" The young man next to Qu Shu had just received a favor from her, so he didn't want to discourage her, but he still reminded her, "Miss Lin, you are only at the sixth level of enlightenment, while I, at the seventh level of enlightenment, couldn't even withstand a single move from Jia Lan."

Lin Zhao raised an eyebrow: "Then try and see if you can withstand one of my moves?"

Upon hearing this, the person who had been consecrated for seven days felt instantly humiliated.

"Miss Lin, I know you have an impressive track record of fighting opponents of higher levels during the Foundation Establishment stage, but the Enlightenment stage and the Foundation Establishment stage are not the same thing!"

Lin Zhao gripped the bone sword and asked with a smile, "Then do you dare to give it a try?"

"Let's try it then! Let me see how you dare to stand shoulder to shoulder with the five new kings!" The young man also drew his sword, releasing the spiritual power of the seventh level of enlightenment.

Lin Zhao raised the bone sword in his hand, and a cold light at the tip of the sword was like frost and snow blown out of a pine forest in December. The cold light left the tip of the sword and spun in the air. It seemed that coldness was condensing around it, but at the center it transformed into a gorgeous blue fire lotus. The fire lotus burned with heat that seemed to burn the void, while the outside was filled with flowing ice. Between ice and fire, spiritual light swirled and shone brightly.

A thousand spirits bloom!

The moment Qian Linghua faced the seventh-level enlightened youth, his scalp trembled. He had a premonition that if he were to take this attack, he would likely be crippled, if not killed...

Such attack power and spiritual energy... how could someone at the sixth level of the Enlightenment Realm possibly possess that?!
"I surrender!"
