From Five Animal Exercises to being hailed as a saint and ancestor

The night was as dark as ink, and all was silent.

Outside Su Xiaowan's elegant courtyard, a murderous intent, like an undercurrent beneath the ice, suddenly erupted!

"Let's do it!"

Yao Mengkang gave a low shout, and the three of them no longer concealed their presence. Their blood and spiritual energy erupted like a long-suppressed volcano!

At the same time, Yao Mengkang focused his energy in his dantian and let out a thunderous roar:

"There's an assassin!"

This roar, like a thunderclap, instantly shattered the tranquility of the accommodation area!

In the distance, the surprised shouts and hurried footsteps of the other disciples could be heard immediately.

Inside the courtyard, Zhou Tong and Zhao Qian, who were preparing to sneak into the room, were terrified by this sudden turn of events!

They had planned everything meticulously, but they never expected that the person following them wasn't a night patrol officer, but a disciple!

They hadn't expected the other party to be so decisive, not only taking action but also shouting to reveal their whereabouts!

"not good!"

Zhao Qian was horrified, and his first thought was to escape!

If their scheme is exposed and they are caught, the academy's laws will not let them off easily!

However, would Yao Mengkang and his two companions give them that chance?

"Scum! Prepare to die!"

Zhou Tiancan roared like thunder. He had a clear goal, and his burly body was wrapped in a violent and unparalleled power of blood and qi, like a mad elephant.

He smashed through the courtyard gate, sending splinters and pebbles flying everywhere, and threw a punch straight at Zhao Qian, whose cultivation level was lower!

The punch was fierce and violent, compressing the air and creating a piercing explosion!

Zhao Qian was both shocked and furious. He recognized Zhou Tiancan and knew that this boy had a powerful physical body.

But with his cultivation at the fifth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, how could he possibly fear a disciple at the Meridian Opening Realm?

"court death!"

He shouted sharply, not daring to be negligent, and activated his fifth level of spiritual power. His palms instantly turned snow-white, and an extremely cold aura surged forth.

Frost Palm!

Where the palm strike passed, the blue bricks on the ground were faintly covered with a layer of white frost.

"boom!"

The fists and palms collided, producing a deep, resounding thud like the beating of a giant drum!

A violent burst of energy swept outwards from the two of them, destroying all the flowers and plants in the courtyard!

Zhou Tiancan groaned and staggered back three steps.

Each step left a deep footprint on the ground, and his fist turned bluish-white, burning with a stinging pain.

Zhao Qian merely swayed slightly, but a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

His palm strike, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, only managed to knock the opponent back, failing to seriously injure him.

This child's physical body is so abnormal!

Meanwhile, Yao Mengkang had already become like a ghost, clinging to Zhou Tong.

He knew that the difference in their cultivation levels was significant, so he went all out from the start!

The Chaos Star God Technique was circulating wildly within my body at an unprecedented speed.

The chaotic energy in the Chaos Chakra trembled slightly, causing the spiritual power around him to boil!

The Cloud-Splitting Blade in his hand emitted a clear, melodious hum, and light flowed across its blade.

The five elements can be changed at will, sometimes as fiery as a raging fire, sometimes as solid as the earth, and sometimes as sharp as metal!

"Hey!"

The blade flashed, carrying the subtle implication of a crane soaring into the sky; it was swift and agile, aimed straight at Zhou Tong's throat!

Zhou Tong was terrified, despite his formidable fighting prowess.

But what time is it now? What if we delay any longer and the elders arrive? That would be terrible...

In a moment of haste, he clapped his hands together, creating powerful palm prints to meet the blade's light, while simultaneously retreating rapidly to try and create distance.

"Sizzle!"

The attributes of the Cloud-Splitting Blade instantly changed to the sharpness of Geng Metal, and its blade energy was so fierce that it actually severed those palm prints!

Yao Mengkang, having gained the upper hand, pressed his advantage and changed the course of his attack once more.

Like a giant bear shaking a mountain, carrying the true meaning of overlapping waves, each strike was heavier than the last, relentlessly slashing towards Zhou Tong!

The Five Animal True Meaning and the Layered Wave True Meaning switched smoothly and without any stagnation in his hands.

For a moment, Zhou Tong was caught off guard and in a panic!

After Li Han missed his attack and Zhao Qian became alert,

It then disappeared back into the shadows, like the most patient hunter, searching for an opportunity to strike decisively.

The situation on the field seemed to be deadlocked, but Zhou Tong and Zhao Qian's hearts were growing heavier and more anxious!

Yao Mengkang's cry of "Assassins!" was like a death knell. They could clearly sense that several powerful auras were rapidly approaching from afar!

There was even something within it that made their hearts pound!

"We can't delay any longer! We have to leave immediately!"

The same thought flashed through their minds at the same time.

They were masked, so as long as they weren't caught on the spot, they had a chance to escape!

If their identity is recognized, then they will truly be trapped with nowhere to turn!

Yao Mengkang keenly noticed the impatience in their moves and the look in their eyes that suggested they were trying to escape the fight.

He sneered inwardly, deliberately swinging his knife fiercely at Zhou Tong while shouting loudly.

"Who dares to break into my Qinglu Academy and commit murder at night! Where are the night patrol officers?"

"Deacon Zhou, Deacon Zhao! There's a formidable enemy here! Come quickly to their aid! They can't escape!"

He never mentioned their identities, but instead called them "Deacon Zhou" and "Deacon Zhao" by name.

These words were like a thunderbolt to Zhou Tong and Zhao Qian!

Feeling guilty, they thought Yao Mengkang was implying that he had seen through them, which made them even more anxious, and their moves became increasingly chaotic.

On the other side, Zhao Qian was extremely anxious as he struggled against Zhou Tiancan.

He could see that Zhou Tiancan's defense was terrifying, but his speed and reaction were indeed a bit slow.

He immediately changed his strategy, no longer fighting head-on, and moved around Zhou Tiancan like a ghost.

With his palms flying, he no longer sought to kill with a single blow, but rather, like a persistent carbuncle, he specifically targeted Zhou Tiancan's relatively vulnerable joints, eyes, ears, and other areas!

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Zhou Tiancan was repeatedly struck, suffering multiple injuries and his clothes were torn.

Although Zhou Tiancan withstood the attack thanks to his powerful physique...

However, his movements became noticeably sluggish, his blood and qi were churning, and a trace of blood even spilled from the corner of his mouth, making him look quite disheveled.

He roared repeatedly, but his attacks always missed by a hair's breadth, failing to effectively strike the agile Zhao Qian.

A hint of smugness flashed in Zhao Qian's eyes. If he had just a few more breaths, he could completely cripple this barbarian and then quickly escape!

However, just as he once again skillfully dodged Zhou Tiancan's heavy punch, his palm strike, as swift as lightning, struck at Zhou Tiancan's vulnerable back, and he was secretly delighted.

A sudden change has occurred!

A dark, cold light, seemingly born from nothingness, appeared out of Zhao Qian's blind spot without warning!

The speed is beyond comprehension!

It was none other than Li Han, who had been hiding for a long time!

The timing he chose was absolutely perfect. It was just as Zhao Qian's old strength had been exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated, and his mind was slightly relaxed because he was about to succeed!

"Pfft!"

The poisoned dagger sliced ​​through Zhao Qian's hastily gathered protective spiritual energy like a hot knife through butter, piercing his right waist with unparalleled precision!

A chilling and vicious force instantly invaded his meridians!

"ah--!"

Zhao Qian let out a piercing scream, his body trembling violently.

The force of the palm strike dissipated instantly, and the person staggered forward as if their bones had been removed.

"A barbaric elephant splits the earth!"

Despite his injuries, Zhou Tiancan's fighting spirit remained incredibly strong.

Seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Ignoring the churning blood and qi within his body, he gathered all his strength and unleashed a dazzling earthy-yellow light from his right fist.

Like a falling meteor, it slammed into Zhao Qian's hastily blocking left arm!

"Snap!"

A sickeningly clear sound of bone cracking rang out!

Zhao Qian's left arm was bent and broken at an odd angle, the white bone fragments piercing through the flesh, causing blood to gush out!

He screamed again, his breath fading like an avalanche, and he fell heavily to the ground.

"Brother Zhao!"

Zhou Tong's eyes were bloodshot with rage, but he was also tightly entangled by Yao Mengkang and was unable to offer any assistance.

Despite the excruciating pain, Zhao Qian exchanged a glance with Zhou Tong, their eyes filled with despair and madness!

If we don't leave now, we'll really be doomed once the elders arrive!

I can't stay at the academy any longer; I have no choice but to flee for my life!

"Let's go for it!" The two exchanged glances and instantly reached a consensus.

Almost simultaneously, Zhou Tong and the seriously injured Zhao Qian each took out a blood-red pill.

Without hesitation, I stuffed it into my mouth!

"Blood-Burning Pill!"

Yao Mengkang's pupils contracted as he recognized this as an evil elixir that could stimulate potential and deplete the life force in a short period of time!

Once the elixir enters the stomach, it's like cooking oil over a raging fire!

The previously listless aura emanating from Zhou Tong and Zhao Qian suddenly surged!

Zhou Tong's spiritual energy surged, faintly glowing with blood-red light. His aura seemed to have instantly broken through the scope of the Spirit Sea Realm and touched the threshold of the Yuan Dan Realm!

Zhao Qian's injuries were too severe, and most of the medicine's effects were used to suppress his injuries, although his breathing had recovered considerably.

However, he could only barely maintain the peak of the mid-stage of the Spirit Sea realm.

"Get out of my way!"

Zhou Tong's face contorted with rage as he roared and unleashed both palms.

Instead of individual palm prints, it transformed into a towering wave of blood, containing a violent and destructive power, surging towards Yao Mengkang like a tidal wave!

The power of this strike far exceeded his usual level!

Yao Mengkang never expected the other party to be so decisive, actually taking banned drugs!

Faced with this attack, which was comparable to the threshold of the Yuan Dan realm, his expression changed drastically, and he used the Cloud-Splitting Blade to block it in front of him.

He frantically poured in the five elements' spiritual power, which transformed into a thick, earth-yellow light shield, while simultaneously retreating rapidly!

"boom--!"

The wave of blood slammed violently onto the light shield!

The light shield shattered in an instant!

The remaining impact slammed heavily into Yao Mengkang's chest!

"puff!"

Yao Mengkang felt a sweet taste in his throat, spat out a mouthful of blood, and flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

The body's internal energy instantly became disordered, and it felt as if all the internal organs had shifted.

Zhou Tong succeeded in one move, without even looking at the result, and disregarding the seriously injured Zhao Qian.

His figure transformed into a blood-red shadow, fleeing desperately towards the outskirts of the academy at a speed far exceeding his previous speed!

It vanished into the night in an instant.

"hateful!"

Yao Mengkang mustered his spiritual power to suppress his surging blood and qi, wanting to give chase, but his chaotic aura slowed him down, and he could only watch helplessly as Zhou Tong escaped.

"Let's get this first!"

Yao Mengkang made a quick decision and turned to join Zhou Tiancan and Li Han.

The three men stared coldly at Zhao Qian, who had taken the Blood Burning Pill and was struggling to get up.

At this moment, Zhao Qian, with his severed arm and the added burden of taking forbidden drugs, was at his last gasp.

Faced with the furious attack from Yao Mengkang and his two companions, even though he fought desperately, it was nothing more than a death struggle.

Within a few moves, Yao Mengkang struck him on the back of the head with the back of his blade, knocking him unconscious. He was then bound tightly by Li Han using specially made rune chains.

Just then, a figure in green floated into the courtyard like a willow catkin, casually tossing something to the ground with a thud.

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that it was Zhou Tong, who had just escaped!

At this moment, his face was ashen, his breath was weak, and his cultivation was also suppressed. He lay on the ground like a dead dog.

The newcomer wore a green robe and had a young and handsome face. Who else could it be but Elder Qin Feng?

He clapped his hands as if he had just casually tossed away a piece of trash.

His gaze swept over the messy courtyard and the three people, including Yao Mengkang, whose mouths were bloodied and whose clothes were torn.

Finally, the gaze fell upon the unconscious Zhao Qian and Zhou Tong, a playful smile curling at the corner of his lips.

"Tsk tsk, that's quite a commotion."

Qin Feng spoke in a relaxed tone, showing no airs of an elder whatsoever.

"However, you did a good job. Facing two deacons in the mid-to-late stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, you were able to fight and capture them, only suffering minor injuries. You did not disgrace the academy."

Yao Mengkang and the other two quickly bowed and greeted Elder Qin.

Qin Feng waved his hand, walked over to Zhou Tong and Zhao Qian, nudged them with his toe, and commented.

"These two guys are only at an average level in the Spirit Sea Realm."

"Zhao Qian excels in movement techniques and water-based combat, while Zhou Tong's palm techniques are powerful but lack variation. Both are relatively ordinary players in their respective realms."

"After taking the Blood Burning Pill... Zhao Qian was mostly ruined, only reaching the mid-stage of the Spirit Sea realm."

"Zhou Tong has barely touched the threshold of the Yuan Dan realm, but unfortunately, his will is not firm, and he only thinks about escaping for his life."

He turned his head and looked at Yao Mengkang and the other two, his gaze lingering on Yao Mengkang for a moment.

"You, with your cultivation at the Opening Meridian Realm, were able to face such an opponent and ultimately only suffer minor injuries."

"They even captured one alive, forcing the other to take banned drugs and flee for his life... Very good."

"The academy will not mistreat those who have made contributions; you will receive compensation later."

His tone carried a hint of appreciation, but that was all, as if it were just a trivial matter.

After saying that, he picked up the unconscious Zhou Tong and Zhao Qian as if they were two chicks.

"Leave this to the night patrol officer. You three, go back and heal your wounds, and prepare for our journey three days from now."

Before he could finish speaking, a flash of green light appeared, and Qin Feng had vanished from the spot.

Yao Mengkang, Zhou Tiancan, and Li Han were left behind. They exchanged glances and saw a mixture of seriousness and a hint of relief in each other's eyes.

Tonight, thankfully, everything turned out alright.

The trip to the capital three days later seemed to be shrouded in an even more complex atmosphere because of tonight's battle.

In the distance, footsteps and shouts grew closer and closer; the night patrol officers and the alarmed disciples finally arrived.
