Legend of the Dragon King: I really didn't mean to provoke them!

Xie Xie felt an overwhelming force rebounding from the tip of the dagger, causing him excruciating pain in his tiger's mouth, and his twin blades almost slipped from his grasp.

He felt a chill run down his spine, but his offensive remained undiminished.

His figure suddenly changed, and he switched freely between the Light Dragon Blade and the Shadow Dragon Dagger.

Sometimes they launch fierce attacks like a whirlwind, and sometimes they move like ghosts, trying to find a flaw in the impenetrable defense.

A hint of approval flashed in Wu Changkong's eyes at this.

However, her figure remained as still as a deep pool and a towering mountain, the wooden sword in her hand seemingly transforming into an invisible barrier, steadily blocking Xie Xie's attacks no matter how they changed.

"Xie Xie, watch out, I'm about to throw the hammer!"

Waaah!

A deep, resonant sound rang out as the Thousand-Refined Silver Hammer slammed out.

However, Xie Xie and Wu Changkong, who were locked in combat, didn't even glance in their direction.

The Thousand-Refined Silver Hammer flew straight past the two of them and then fell to the ground with a thud.

Tang Wulin was embarrassed; he had hit it at an angle.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew from Xie Xie's side, causing Wu Changkong's attack to miss its target.

Xie Xie finally had a moment to spare and turned around to yell, "Can you please not shout out your moves? It's one thing if people hear it, but can you at least aim properly... damn it!"

Halfway through his sentence, Xie Xie suddenly clutched his head and squatted down.

A shiny black hammer swept across the spot where his head had been.

Xie Xie snapped, "Stop sticking your big butt out there throwing hammers! Are you not using your soul skills? Are you staying home for the New Year?! Are you being pestered by your own mother?!"

Wu Changkong also felt somewhat helpless.

Suddenly, she felt her feet go soft and she quickly sank into the ground.

Gu Yue made another move, sending out several ice spikes that aimed directly at the ground beneath Wu Changkong's feet.

Wu Changkong smiled calmly, used his soul power to float in the air, and with a flick of his wrist, the wooden sword lightly touched several ice spikes, easily shattering them.

The century-old soul ring beneath Gu Yue's feet lit up again, and several fireballs shot towards Wu Changkong in succession.

Xie Xie had just finished scolding Tang Wulin when he suddenly felt himself being lifted up, and then he heard Wu Changkong's voice from above.

"Xie Xie, shield the teacher for me."

"……Why?"

By the time he realized what was happening, Gu Yue's several fireballs were already flying towards his face.

"Wait! I refuse!!"

Gu Yue wanted to retract the fireball spell, but it was too late. Several fireballs exploded directly on Xie Xie, kicking up a cloud of dust.

After finishing, Wu Changkong casually tossed Xie Xie toward Gu Yue.

As soon as the dust settled, before Gu Yue could even see what was happening, a man with an afro covered in black charcoal flew out of the dust and slammed directly towards him.

"Thank you, Xie Xie?!"

"Aaaaaahh ...

With a thud, Xie Xie landed squarely on Gu Yue, and the two rolled around in a heap.

"Cough cough... Xie Xie, are you trying to kill me?!"

Gu Yue pushed away the black-faced man who was pressing down on her. Her school uniform was also covered in dust, and the veins on her forehead throbbed.

"How dare you say that to me!"

Xie Xie, sporting an afro and looking utterly indignant, scrambled to his feet. Wisps of smoke still rose from the charred marks on his body. "I was used as a shield, and you still threw fireballs at my face!"

"You were the one who pounced on me!" Gu Yue gritted her teeth in anger.

"Can you two please stop arguing?!"

Tang Wulin almost cried when he saw Wu Changkong charging towards him with a wooden sword, his eyes glowing red.

The two then looked towards Tang Wulin.

Seeing Wu Changkong rush straight towards Tang Wulin, Gu Yue and Xie Xie exchanged a glance, and at that moment, they both tacitly understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

A flash of blue light appeared on Xie Xie's body, and he flashed out again.

A blue light swirled in Gu Yue's left hand, while fire surged again in his right, and several more fireballs were fired by Xie Xie.

However, Wu Changkong's attack was even faster, and the wooden sword was already piercing towards Tang Wulin's chest.

Without a moment's hesitation, Tang Wulin quickly entered a state of spiritual clarity, and two gray lights simultaneously shone in his hands.

He blocked the wooden sword with his right hammer in front of his chest, and then swung his left hammer directly at Wu Changkong.

"Ding!"

The wooden sword struck the gray right-hand hammer, producing a metallic clang.

Tang Wulin felt a powerful force strike him as the Thousand-Refined Silver Hammer slammed into his chest, causing him to stumble backward.

As if sensing something, the left hand that had been swinging out suddenly loosened.

The thousand-forged silver hammer flew out of his hand and smashed straight towards Wu Changkong.

Wu Changkong casually flicked the wooden sword in his hand, preparing to sweep it horizontally.

However, just as the wooden sword was about to strike the Thousand-Refined Silver Hammer, a blue silver grass suddenly grabbed the hammer handle and pulled it back sharply.

Wu Changkong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly a blinding flash of light exploded in front of him.

She closed her eyes and calmly swept the wooden sword in her hand towards her head.

The fireballs that were originally intended to attack Wu Changkong from above exploded when swept away.

However, the exploding fireball did not completely dissipate. Instead, amidst the bursting light, a golden dagger shot out like a meteor, aiming straight for Wu Changkong's face.

Xie Xie's figure suddenly appeared on the trajectory of the Light Dragon Blade.

He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, pouring all his soul power into it without reservation, and the Light Dragon Sword burst forth with a dazzling golden light.

The Light Dragon Blade, like a small sun, slashed down with tremendous force, tearing through the air, and once again struck down on Wu Changkong's head with overwhelming power.

"Well done!"

Wu Changkong's lips curled slightly. Without dodging or avoiding, he precisely struck the spine of the Light Dragon Blade with his wooden sword, meeting the golden light blade head-on.

"clang--"

A deafening, crisp sound rang out, and the aftershocks of the clanging metal echoed across the training ground.

Xie Xie felt a tremendous force coming from the blade, and his tiger's mouth was in excruciating pain. He was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, tumbling several times in the air before barely landing.

He had just regained his footing when he saw Wu Changkong's wooden sword emerge like a venomous snake, aiming straight for his throat.

Xie Xie's pupils contracted sharply. At the critical moment, the Shadow Dragon Dagger left a blur in front of him, barely managing to block the fatal blow.

"Not bad, it's finally starting to look like something."

Wu Changkong's voice remained cool and aloof, yet carried a barely perceptible hint of satisfaction: "But it's not enough."

However, Xie Xie calmly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled:

"Yeah?"

The familiar "whooshing" sound rang in her ears again, and Tang Wulin's Thousand-Refined Silver Hammer suddenly appeared before her eyes.

Wu Changkong's eyes narrowed instantly, and he still swept his wooden sword out horizontally.

However, this time, she miscalculated.

As the hammer and sword clashed, Wu Changkong felt a considerable force coming from the wooden sword in her hand, and she realized that her wooden sword could not withstand the pressure.

Before she could infuse more soul power into it, two more forces surged from the wooden sword.

"Snap!"

The wooden sword broke, and the thousand-forged silver hammer slammed down towards her head.

Wu Changkong dodged the Thousand-Refined Silver Hammer with a flash.

Finally, Xie Xie and his two companions managed to coordinate a small attack, and on their first attempt, they managed to give Wu Changkong a small setback.
