Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 118 Disappointment
Ji Xue also saw Li Fan walking towards her, and a hint of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes. Why was he here too?

Come to Yunmengze for trial?

Huang Xiong looked around the crowd and recognized that the people in front of him were disciples of the academy. He couldn't help but bow and said, "I am Huang Xiong. This person wore a mask and sneaked into the monster hunting team. He killed people in order to seize the monster pill, and now he is biting back."

"Nonsense." Dai Long shouted coldly, staring at Huang Xiong and said, "I am studying at the White Deer Academy. This time I came to Yunmengze to take part in the demon-killing trial. If I want to obtain demon pills, I can kill the demons myself. Why do I need to take your demon pills? You led the demon hunting team to attack us while we were hunting demons, killing the people who were traveling with me and injuring me. How dare you slander me?"

"My fellow disciples, please kill these two men."

The people from Bailu Academy stared at Huang Xiong. They saw that this man was tall and looked ferocious. He was holding an iron pestle stained with blood.

In comparison, they obviously trusted Dai Long, who was also a student of the academy.

At this time, the other members of the monster hunting team also came forward, each of them exuding a murderous aura. They had just killed the monster hunting team that had launched a sneak attack, and their bodies were still stained with blood.

When they saw the crowd at Bailu Academy, they were all stunned.

Soon they realized that the masked man was a student of the academy?

"Look, my fellow brothers, these are the people who suddenly attacked and killed us. There is blood on their bodies. These evildoers must not be allowed to stay." Dai Long said indignantly.

"How shameless." Huang Xiong stared at Dai Long with his copper-bell-like eyes. He took a big step forward and rushed towards Dai Long with an iron pestle in his hand.

There was a strong rage in his eyes. This man had killed his brother in a sneak attack, and now he had the guts to slander them and bite them back?
Dai Long naturally knew that Huang Xiong was born with supernatural powers. He had experienced it before. If he didn't use tricks to kill him, he would not be able to fight him head-on even in his prime, let alone he was injured at this moment.

"Senior brother, save me." Dai Long retreated to the middle of the academy disciples. He no longer looked as cold and arrogant as before, but like a victim.

"presumptuous."

One of them saw Huang Xiong coming towards him and took a step forward. The sword in his hand let out a sharp whistle, and when Huang Xiong smashed the iron pestle down, the sword just pierced the iron pestle.

A huge force came from the iron pestle, and Yun Zhiqiu slid backwards, but Huang Xiong was also forced to take a few steps back.

When Yun Zhiqiu looked up, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. How could this warrior's strength be so terrifying?
He had already entered the foundation-building stage. Even if he was not good at strength, he should not have been repelled by a warrior in the innate stage. However, this was also because he acted hastily and underestimated the opponent.

How could Yun Zhiqiu afford to lose face like this? He came here with Ji Xue this time, and his purpose was to win the heart of the beauty. Now he was repelled by a brute force warrior. Where would he put his face?
In an instant, a powerful sword intent burst out from him. He moved his feet and moved his body straight forward like a sword. When he was close to Huang Xiong, he leaped up, slashed with the sword in his hand, and a domineering sword aura appeared in the air.

"Be careful." Although Xiao Kui could not practice, she could sense the power of the sword and was so shocked that she immediately warned Huang Xiong. Huang Xiong roared angrily, raised the iron pestle and smashed it forward, colliding with the sword.

There was a loud bang, and the sword cultivator in the foundation-building stage made a prepared attack. Naturally, Huang Xiong could not withstand it. His tall body was shaken and flew back. The terrifying sword energy tore through his body, splitting his leather armor and leaving bloody marks on his body.

Obviously his physical defense was not enough to withstand this level of attack.

But Yun Zhiqiu also felt his arm a little numb, and he couldn't help but be shocked. No wonder Dai Long was being chased by the other party. This warrior actually had supernatural powers, and his physical defense was also extremely strong. If his sword energy hurt an ordinary warrior at the peak of the innate realm, he would be seriously injured if not killed.

But Huang Xiong was only scratched with bloody marks.

Li Fan did not make a move. If he had only been a sword practitioner for one day, there would not be any problem. After all, there are many geniuses in the world.

But if one is talented enough to fight against cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, and needs to show some of his methods of practicing away from the mountains, then some things will be exposed.

This would make it easy for others to discover his identity. After all, there were not many top-level sword forces. If he was speculated to be a disciple of Lishan, it would be a big trouble for him and might even lead to him being hunted down by the imperial court.

However, if Huang Xiong was really in danger, he would still help.

From this attack, it seemed that Huang Xiong was even stronger than he had imagined, especially his explosive power.

Li Fan was thinking, should he give Huang Xiong a chance?
If he could have the opportunity to come into contact with top practitioners and be taught how to practice, he would think Uncle Xing would be a perfect fit and he would probably like him.

“Brother Huang.” The members of the demon hunting team rushed forward. Seeing that Yun Zhiqiu was still thinking about attacking, one of them scolded him, “White Deer Academy is a sacred place in Jiangzhou. How can you bully people like this?”

"You hunt human practitioners to seize the demon pill, and you think you have the right to do so?" Yun Zhiqiu shouted coldly, moving forward with a sword in hand.

"Miss Ji."

At this time, Li Fan spoke and looked at Ji Xue.

Yun Zhiqiu was stunned and his eyes fell on Li Fan. He naturally noticed Li Fan's existence. This person had followed Ji Xue before. Later, he hinted to Ji Xue's uncle, which made Li Fan move out.

I didn't expect to meet you here again.

Ji Xue also looked at Li Fan when she heard his voice, only to hear Li Fan say, "I came to Yunmengze for the trial and traveled with this demon hunting team. I can testify that it was this person from the academy who wanted to kill people and take the demon pill, and the demon pill he wanted to take was in my hands."

As he spoke, Li Fan took out the tree demon pill, placed it in his palm, and continued: "If not, Miss Ji, do you think that the people in the demon hunting team knew that you were from the academy, but still dared to come here to slander you?" "That's right, this person ambushed and killed our friend, then he was defeated and fled, and we chased him all the way here." Xiao Kui also stepped forward and said.

This made the people in the academy look at Dai Long with some suspicion.

Just as Li Fan said, where do these people from the monster hunting team get the courage to slander the students of Bailu Academy?
"I have always admired the academy, how could it be that you cannot tell right from wrong?" Huang Xiong shouted coldly and stepped forward. Although he was injured, he still stared at Dai Long with murderous intent.

Yun Zhiqiu frowned, held the sword in his hand, and was ready to continue attacking.

"Senior Brother Yun." Ji Xue called out. Yun Zhiqiu looked at her and heard Ji Xue say, "Does this matter need to be clarified?"

Although she was a little unhappy about Ji Feng's antics, Li Fan still had some sense and had been behaving well. Since he said so, and looking at the performance of these people, maybe it was really Dai Long's problem?
"Junior Sister Ji, how could the disciples of Bailu Academy do such a thing? There is absolutely nothing wrong with this matter. These people must have been chasing Junior Brother Dai, and when they saw us, they noticed something was wrong, so they turned to slander Junior Brother Dai." Yun Zhiqiu said.

"Brother Yun is right. If Sister Ji still has doubts, she should first capture these people and bring them back to Yunmeng City. She will then know the truth." Someone nearby also said that this matter concerns the reputation of Bailu Academy. If they admit that Dai Long has a problem, wouldn't it be a stain on Bailu Academy?

Although Ji Xue was doubtful, she had just arrived, so she nodded without saying anything.

Li Fan looked at the other party, only to see Ji Xue avoiding Li Fan's gaze and retreating into the crowd.

Seeing this scene, Li Fan also understood Ji Xue's attitude.

"A disciple of Bailu Academy would not do such a thing, so our monster hunting team would do such a thing." Huang Xiong suddenly felt extremely disappointed.

He has always had admiration for Bailu Academy and looked at the disciples of Bailu Academy with respect. Those disciples seemed to have light in his eyes.

But what happened at this moment shattered his fantasy.

It turns out that the practitioners at Bailu Academy are no different.

All the same, we are just ordinary people.

There was a sense of loss in his voice, and he seemed particularly disappointed.

But Li Fan didn't feel anything.

Yun Zhiqiu waved his hand, and immediately all the disciples of the academy rushed forward, trying to surround Huang Xiong and his group.

"Okay, this is Bailu Academy." Huang Xiong shouted coldly, holding the iron pestle tightly in his hand. Xiaokui leaned against him. She did not expect that the enemy she would face would be Bailu Academy.

Everyone in the demon hunting team was angry.

Li Fan took a step forward and came to Huang Xiong's side, holding a sharp sword, with sword intent lingering around him. He looked calmly at the practitioners from Bailu Academy in front of him.

"Brother Yang, this matter has nothing to do with you." Huang Xiong said to Li Fan.

"Brother Huang, what nonsense are you talking about? This is all caused by me. Don't worry, nothing will happen." Li Fan spoke and stood up with his sword in hand.

Ji Xue looked at Li Fan. She sensed the sword intent lingering around Li Fan. When they were traveling together before, she found that Li Fan always carried three swords on his back. Now it seems that he is indeed a sword cultivator.

Huang Xiong stepped forward, stood in front of Li Fan, and whispered, "Brother Yang, please take Xiao Kui away."

He will try his best to block it for Li Fan, as Li Fan is a sword cultivator and has fast speed.

Looking at the tall figure in front of me, Huang Xiong is a righteous man, indeed a man of integrity.

"Let's go together." Li Fan responded.

Just as both sides were preparing to fight, a scream was heard from behind the crowd of people from Bailu Academy. The disciples of Bailu Academy looked over there instantly and saw that the blood in the cold pond in front of them had dyed the water red, and the body of a disciple of Bailu Academy was floating on it.

They instantly felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy and stared at the cold pond.

They came here to hunt monsters before and kept staring at the cold pond until Dai Long came here and they were interrupted. However, at this time, their attention was drawn to the cold pond again.

Li Fan also noticed that side. Seeing the cold pond surrounded by ancient trees in front, he sensed that a strong demonic aura was emanating from it.

Suddenly, a huge tail swept towards a person on the edge of the cold pond at an extremely fast speed.

The man retreated rapidly, but was still a step too slow. The scaly tail instantly rolled him into the cold pond.

The disciples of Bailu Academy attacked instantly and rushed towards Hantan.
