I flew on a sword at the magic academy

"boom"

The black dragon that Leopard Head had conjured was bound by an invisible force and could not break free. Its luster gradually dimmed and was finally worn away into a wisp of black smoke.

"Buzz!"

Leopard Head didn't stop. He formed hand seals, and a black bear burst out from the shattered space. Its body was over twenty feet tall, like a small mountain. Its roar shook the heavens and earth.

Chu Xuan remained calm and aloof, raising a jade finger and gently pressing it in front of her, once again outlining a trace of the Great Dao, instantly obliterating the black bear that had pounced close, without causing her any substantial harm.

Both attacks were easily thwarted, so Leopard Head simply charged forward. With each step he took, his aura surged, and in no time he had reached peak combat power. His long, black hair flew wildly in the gusts of wind, and his eyes were sharp as knives!

He pushed the "Ping Shan He" technique to its limit, transforming it into a streak of black light. In the blink of an eye, he was upon Chu Xuan, engaging in close combat. The tremors of this world were almost constant, as if it were about to be pierced through.

"kill!"

With a long roar, Leopard Head unleashed nine enormous black dragons, as massive as mountain ranges, which surged upwards from behind him, churning the heavens and earth and shattering the sky with their deafening roars.

Chu Xuan was in a mysterious and wondrous state, in harmony with heaven and man, and in accord with the Great Dao. Every movement was simple and natural, yet the unpredictable trajectory of the Great Dao was outlined in every gesture.

Her slender, jade-like hands, as delicate as onions, caused the space around her to twist and collapse wherever they went, displaying astonishing power.

This was an epic battle, a powerful and sweeping contest.

One is calm and collected, making simple and natural moves every time.

These are two completely different auras and fighting styles, fighting without regard for heaven and earth, causing mountains and rivers to lose their color.

"To have cultivated 'Ping Shan He' to this level, you are indeed very strong," Chu Xuan said calmly.

"You flatter me, Holy Maiden. With my meager skills, how could I possibly win?"

Leopard Head knew that there was still a big gap between him and Chu Xuan. With his current combat strength, it was basically impossible for him to win.

But he had no intention of giving up; he wanted to fight with all his might and see just how big the gap was between himself and these prodigies who had been designated as holy sons and daughters.

Every move he made was incredibly powerful, with the force to uproot mountains and fill seas, and was characterized by its sweeping and expansive nature.

"Clang!"

Chu Xuan did not use the power of the Mountain and River Map. With a gentle wave of her jade hand, she outlined the trajectory of the Great Dao, intending to cut off the leopard head's path of attack.

Leopard Head did not dodge; instead, he swung his longsword fiercely, directly clashing with the trajectory of the Great Dao.

"boom!"

It was as if a blazing sun had exploded in the sky; terrifying energy waves surged in all directions, sending both of them flying backward.

However, the battle had not yet subsided. As soon as Leopard Head regained his footing, he transformed into a streak of black light once again and charged forward with his weapon.

"I never expected my fiancée to be so strong. Even Leopard Head, who was at full power, couldn't gain the upper hand against her," Sikong Qing exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Liu Mang, who was standing nearby, flicked him on the forehead and said irritably, "Your fiancée? Can't you have any shame? Besides, are you happy that Leopard Head is getting beaten up?"

"This Holy Maiden of Qingyu Holy Land is not very active among the younger generation. She has hardly ever fought anyone. The only known achievement of hers is that seven years ago, in a competition in Qingyun Holy Land, she defeated their Holy Son in less than three moves, rendering him unable to fight," Nangong Ren said.

The world doesn't know much about this Holy Maiden of the Azure Jade Holy Land, because she rarely takes action, and no one usually provokes her. The only impressive achievement she has is defeating the Azure Jade Holy Son in three moves during a sect competition seven years ago.

What does it mean to knock the Holy Son to the ground and render him unable to fight in just three moves?

How could someone who could be appointed as a holy son by a sacred Taoist sect be an ordinary person?

That battle could be considered Chu Xuan's breakthrough, making her famous among the younger generation.

"Stop watching, let's all attack!"

Seeing that Leopard Head was gradually losing ground, Liu Mang was the first to rush forward.

"Watch your hand, everyone, don't hurt my fiancée!"

Sikong Qing shouted and hurriedly flew forward.

"boom!"

An extremely terrifying aura swept out as Sikong Qing activated a replica of the Devouring Heaven Vessel, unleashing an unparalleled devouring power that engulfed Chu Xuan.

"Splash..."

The Mountain and River Map trembled, and Chu Xuan raised his hand to summon a majestic mountain, exuding an aura of vicissitude and antiquity, which crashed into the replica of the Devouring Heaven Vessel with a "boom".

That was neither an anomaly nor something constructed through special means.

"Buzz!"

The Devouring Heaven Vessel trembled, and the majestic mountain that crashed towards it was instantly shattered.

"besides?!"

Before Sikong Qing could catch his breath, another massive mountain came crashing down from the sky. Ancient and imposing, it shattered the surrounding space inch by inch with its first strike.

"Splash!"

The replica of the Mountain and River Map trembled violently. A vast expanse of brilliant light appeared in the world depicted in the painting, resisting the devouring power of the replica of the Devouring Plate. At the same time, a boundless and unfathomable power surged forth, engulfing the area where Sikong Qing was located.

Throughout this process, Chu Xuan was still fiercely fighting with Leopard Head. Her Taoist robe fluttered in the wind, making her look as ethereal as a fairy.

She remained calm and composed throughout, without the slightest sign of panic.

"Chu Xuan, please come with us. We need to deal with Wuyang Mountain, and your sect leader is an old acquaintance of Wuyang Mountain's sect leader. We just want to take him as a hostage so that Qingyu Holy Land won't get involved. As long as you cooperate, we guarantee we won't harm you," Sikong Qing earnestly persuaded.

"Stop talking nonsense and come help me right now!" Liu Mang shouted.

He himself was under immense pressure in order to help Leopard Head out of trouble.

"Sizzle!"

Just then, Jiang Yue, who had been watching from the sidelines, also made her move, unleashing the Mountain and River Seal with a wave of her hand.

The Five Sacred Mountains and the Four Great Rivers swept across the sky, pressing down on all directions and causing them to tremble.

At this moment, Nangong Ren also circled around behind Chu Xuan and launched an attack.

With several people attacking at the same time, Chu Xuan, who had been firmly in the upper hand, was suddenly put on the defensive.

The world was filled with intense and dazzling light, and the surging energy fluctuations, like a raging sea, surged in all directions.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."

Jiang Yue spread her five fingers wide, and five chains of divine order flowed from between her fingers, binding the Qiankun Seal, which she used as a meteor hammer.

Chu Xuan engaged in close combat with Leopard Head, and with a wave of her hand, she traced a path of the Great Dao, which swept away Nangong Geren, who was attacking from behind, with a "bang," and then blocked the Qiankun Seal that was slamming towards her.

"when……"

The metallic vibrato lingered, making one's eardrums ache.

The Great Dao trajectory drawn by Chu Xuan did indeed prevent the Qiankun Seal from getting close, sending it flying.

However, she was unaware of the special nature of the Qiankun Seal, a spiritual weapon.

The Qiankun Seal is made of solid material and has considerable damaging power on the spiritual level of people, including consciousness and soul.

At this moment, the Qiankun Seal used that wisp of the Great Dao trajectory as a medium to transmit the attack power to Chu Xuan's soul, causing her immortal body to tremble as if struck by lightning, and she staggered several steps before regaining her balance.

She raised her hand and flicked it, sending the leopard's head flying. Shaking her head, she turned to look at Jiang Yue with some surprise.

[What kind of spiritual weapon is that? I haven't even really touched it, yet it can still directly harm my soul...] ​​she murmured to herself.

"He only stumbled a few steps and that was it?"

Jiang Yue was even more shocked. Chu Xuan's performance was completely beyond her expectations. Back in Tai'an City, those living dead who were born in the same era as City Lord Nangong had terrifying spiritual power, needless to say, but they still suffered a great loss in the Qiankun Seal.

But now, Chu Xuan only staggered a few steps, showing no signs of being seriously injured.

"She truly deserves to be a saintess; she cannot be judged by ordinary standards," Jiang Yue thought in amazement.

Those who are designated as holy sons or daughters are basically those who are groomed as future successors by those transcendent powers, and none of them are easy to deal with.

Even when surrounded, Chu Xuan remained calm and composed.

"On one side are my brothers who would risk their lives for me, and on the other is my fiancée. What am I supposed to do? Let's all sit down and have a good talk, shall we?"

Sikong Qing was caught in a dilemma, truly reluctant to use the replica of the Devouring Heaven Vessel in his hand to inflict heavy damage on Chu Xuan.

"You scoundrel, who's your fiancée?!"

Chu Xuan let out a angry shout. She remained in a state of perfect harmony with nature, making it impossible to see her true face. However, one could imagine the scene of the peerless beauty blushing from her tone.

"What can I do?! Didn't you see I was beaten to the point of vomiting blood?!" Liu Mang cursed Sikong Qing for being disloyal and forgetting his friends for the sake of women, with blood dripping from his mouth.

Even the usually quiet Nangong Ren was now truly enraged, spitting out a mouthful of blood and saying, "There's nothing more to talk about, let's fight!"

He was just swept away by a wisp of the Great Dao trajectory from Chu Xuan, breaking several of his bones. It's no wonder he was furious.

"boom!"

Liu Mang and Nangong Ren made their moves simultaneously, unleashing their respective natal spiritual weapons to restrain the replica of the Mountain and River Map.

"when!"

Jiang Yue swung the Qiankun Seal, found a good angle, and threw it out with great force. This treasure did not have any earth-shattering destructive power, but its value lay in its ability to attack other people's consciousness and soul.

However, having already been hit before, Chu Xuan was on guard even when facing a siege. Just as the Qiankun Seal was about to smash down, she skillfully dodged to the side, neither taking the hit directly nor using any means to block it.

"Come on, into the bowl!"

Sikong Qing shouted, and the replica of the Devouring Heaven Vessel in his hand swelled up in the wind, like a divine mountain cutting across the sky, appearing above Chu Xuan's head and slowly pressing down, while releasing a strong devouring power.

"Thump—!"

The bell tolled melodiously. Nangong Ren raised his hand and summoned an ancient bell, then with a backhand flick, sent it flying into the Mountain and River Map.

On the other side, Liu Mang summoned a six-story pagoda, which thunderously descended onto the landscape painting.

A slight ripple finally appeared on Chu Xuan's stunning face. The combined combat power and might of Jiang Yue and Sikong Qing, who attacked at the same time, far exceeded her expectations.

"boom!"

In the landscape painting, large sections of the magnificent mountains and rivers collapsed, and terrifying cracks spread rapidly like centipedes, leveling mountains and causing rivers to overflow and burst their banks, creating towering waves!

With a flash of light, Leopard Head, Nangong Ren, Sikong Qing, Liu Mang, and Jiang Yue attacked Chu Xuan simultaneously from all directions.

Chu Xuan frowned slightly, sensing that the situation was very bad. Although she didn't think these people could truly suppress her at this point in the battle, it wasn't impossible that they could if the fight continued.

Leopard Head was the main force in this battle. He charged into the world of the Mountain and River Map alone and fought closely with Chu Xuan. Every move he made exuded the momentum to flatten mountains and rivers.

Jiang Yue would use the Qiankun Seal to launch surprise attacks from time to time, which was what gave Chu Xuan the biggest headache.

Even without actually touching this treasure, one can use her divine power fluctuations as a medium to directly harm her soul.

She could handle the attacks from Leopard Head and his group, but she couldn't defend against the Qiankun Seal.

Moreover, the replica of the Mountain and River Map was also restrained by Sikong Qing using a replica of the Devouring Heaven Vessel, preventing it from unleashing its true power.

"Thump!"

Nangong Ren activated the ancient bell, shattering a large portion of the landscape depicted in the painting. However, within the painting's world, Chu Xuan was the one who ruled over all laws.

She raised her hand and distorted the space in front of her, creating a black hole that instantly swallowed the ancient bell.

"Bang!"

She managed to defend against Nangong Ren but not Liu Mang. A six-story ancient tower fell from the sky and landed squarely on her back, causing her to stagger several steps before regaining her balance.

"Sikong Qing! You lecherous scoundrel!"

With a soft shout, Chu Xuan's figure quickly dimmed and became ethereal, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"She's trying to cross the void! Stop her!"

Jiang Yue immediately sensed something was wrong and suddenly swung her arm to unleash a sword beam that severed the void. The others also quickly took action, sending out beams of intense light that crashed into the void.

"Hey! The void is unstable. What will happen to my Chu Xuan if it collapses?!" Sikong Qing shouted in panic.

"Stop yelling. You are the Holy Maiden of the Azure Jade Holy Land, don't you even have a way to protect yourself?" Jiang Yue shook her hand and pulled a scroll out of the void. It was a replica of the Mountain and River Map.

"Where is he? Where is my Chu Xuan?" Sikong Qing rushed forward, truly afraid that something might have happened to Chu Xuan during his journey across the void.

"She's alright. She escaped the destructive force of the void collapse within the world depicted in the Mountain and River Map," Jiang Yue said, as she unfolded the Mountain and River Map, which had now returned to its normal size.

A magnificent landscape painting unfolded before everyone's eyes, with a stunningly beautiful woman shrouded in a hazy, ethereal mist standing on a cliff within the scene.
