Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Turmoil Resurfaces

"Bang! Bang!"

Two sounds rang out—the noise of Ye Fan’s bisected corpse hitting the ground.

Ling Chen looked down at the stunned crowd below, a hint of a smile flashing across his eyes; his ruse had finally succeeded.

The injury he had sustained earlier was merely feigned, a ploy to mislead everyone.

You see, the Sword Qi from Ye Fan that had injured him earlier was only a level stronger than his own attack.

Such an attack, after being reduced by his Sword Qi, superior Heavenly Spirit Technique defense, and Spiritual Power Defense, had significantly weakened in power.

In the end, the attack landed on Ling Chen, who had activated his Undying Star body, and at most, it would only cause him minor damage, certainly not enough to make him spew blood uncontrollably.

He well knew that to slay Ye Fan within the Academic Palace of Wangxing, he had to feign weakness. Otherwise, once the instructors and Elders of the Academic Palace intervened, there was no way he could kill Ye Fan.

Even Master Qin and Elder Chi had been blocked.

How could he stand against all the people of the Academic Palace of Wangxing by himself?

Especially with several Elders of the same caliber as Ye Fan looming like tigers eyeing their prey?

Therefore, he put on a performance of being severely injured and spitting blood.

This move could be regarded as luring the enemy deeper into the trap.

Next, let’s talk about the second time he executed the superior Heavenly Spirit Technique.

This Sword Qi appeared no different from the previous attacks.

But it was not so.

Because this Sword Qi was additionally reinforced with the Stellar Blade Realm he had comprehended.

With the amplification provided by the Stellar Blade Realm, its power was boosted by two whole levels.

Originally, the gap in strength between Ling Chen and Ye Fan was only three levels.

A superior Spiritual Weapon against a medium-grade one narrows the gap by one level.

The True Intent of a Spirit Art, by two-thirds of a level.

And the Stellar Blade Realm made up for another two levels.

Thus, the power of this Sword Qi was, in fact, almost a level stronger than Ye Fan’s most powerful attack.

Afterward, Ling Chen used the Stellar Blade Realm to take control of Ye Fan’s Longsword.

He seized control twice.

The first time was just a test of skill.

He had merely taken a slight control before cutting off the connection, letting Ye Fan think it was just a fluke.

But the second time was different.

Ling Chen was desperately fighting with Ye Fan for the control of the Longsword.

He knew that it was highly unrealistic to wrench the Longsword from Ye Fan’s grasp.

Moreover, should he actually take it, Ye Fan would likely resort to a movement technique to dodge.

Therefore, he opted for a strategy of delay.

Even if he could take the sword, he wouldn’t.

And these two times of struggling for control over the Longsword bought him time for his attack.

As the Sword Qi was about to hit Ye Fan, Ye Fan desperately positioned his Longsword in front of him to block the Sword Qi.

Under the bombardment of the Sword Qi, the inside of the Longsword released its own Sword Qi.

Though this was also an attack of a superior Heavenly Spirit Technique level,

the power was decidedly different.

Because Ye Fan’s Longsword was held horizontally in front, directing the Sword Qi downward upon release.

It was as if Ling Chen’s Sword Qi blade was striking the Sword Body of Ye Fan’s Sword Qi.

Naturally, it was no match for Ling Chen’s Sword Qi.

Moreover, Ling Chen’s Sword Qi was slightly stronger than the true power of Ye Fan’s Sword Qi.

As a result, Ye Fan’s Sword Qi hardly provided any significant resistance.

Subsequently, Ling Chen’s Sword Qi effortlessly broke through like a hot knife through butter, killing Ye Fan on the spot.

He was well aware that this was the best method to kill Ye Fan.

Otherwise, managing to kill Ye Fan in the presence of all the strong members of the Academic Palace of Wangxing was almost impossible.

The gap in their cultivations was too great.

And even if he held an advantage in strength, at best he could injure Ye Fan, and then someone from the Academic Palace of Wangxing would certainly intervene.

The Academic Palace of Xing had sent a total of five people; how could they compete with Wangxing’s home advantage?

"Whoosh!"

Ling Chen transformed into a streak of light, descending from the sky and landing in front of Ye Fan’s corpse to collect his ring and medium-grade Spiritual Weapon.

"Master Qin, Elder Chi, shall we return?"

Ling Chen laughed.

At this moment, both men came back to their senses, staring at Ling Chen as if they had seen a ghost.

Who would have thought that Ling Chen actually killed Ye Fan?

At this moment, there was a clear touch of fear in Chi Shen’s gaze toward Ling Chen.

Now, he probably isn’t a match for Ling Chen either.

Two months ago, Ling Chen had to rely on the Arrow God to survive the encounter with Jiang Wuyan!

And now, Ling Chen actually killed Ye Fan!

"Brother, are you alright?"

Ling Wu asked with concern.

Earlier, she had seen Ling Chen spitting out blood.

"I’m fine."

Ling Chen smiled.

Looking at Ling Chen’s back, the students of Wangxing Academic Palace were filled with a look of fear.

Even Eighth Layer Primordial Pill Realm Elders he can kill, is this Ling Chen even human?

"Good!"

Master Qin nodded.

He gave a warm smile towards Ling Chen.

Previously, he was very dissatisfied with Ling Chen for severing Qin Rulong’s arm.

But now, seeing Ling Chen’s formidable talent,

He understood that this young man should be befriended.

After all, Qin Rulong’s arm can be healed; it’s just a bit of a grievance, nothing serious.

"Brother Lan, the Freshman Rivalry has ended, we’ll take our leave now."

Master Qin took a few steps forward, blocking Ling Chen behind him, and said.

"Wait a moment!"

Master Lan coldly smiled, "How is it that after killing an Elder of our Wangxing Academic Palace, you think you can just leave so easily?"

This was clearly supposed to be a Freshman Rivalry. If some students were lost, then so be it.

However, when the students are unharmed, yet Elder Ye Fan dies here, how is he supposed to explain to the Palace Master?

"Brother Lan, before this, the two of them already made it clear that this was their private affair, not related to our two great Academic Palaces."

Master Qin spoke loudly.

"Ye Fan is an Elder of our Wangxing Academic Palace, you can leave, but you must leave Ling Chen, the chief culprit, behind."

Master Lan said in a chilling tone.

Originally, he thought Ye Fan could eradicate this genius Ling Chen, which is why he allowed the duel to occur.

Who would have thought, Ye Fan, that good-for-nothing, couldn’t even kill a minor at the Fourth Layer of Primordial Pill Realm?

Earlier, Ye Fan had even promised vehemently.

Damn it, now he has to take action himself.

"Impossible!"

Master Qin said.

With such a genius as Ling Chen, whose strength could match the top ten talents on the Stellar Rankings, how could he possibly leave Ling Chen here for Wangxing Academic Palace to dispose of?

If they really leave Ling Chen behind, there would only be two outcomes for him.

One is to be killed.

The other is to submit to Wangxing Academic Palace.

Neither result is something he, as a mentor, can bear.

"Then you all can stay together!"

Master Lan snickered coldly.

With a wave of his hand, several Elders of the Wangxing Academic Palace immediately stepped forward, surrounding Ling Chen and his party of five.

On his Wangxing Academic Palace’s turf, these five people will not be able to escape!

"Lan Ying, what do you think you’re doing?"

Master Qin yelled angrily.

Master Lan’s name was Lan Ying, and he was from the Lan Family.

"Qin Ning, you say you killed a person from our Wangxing Academic Palace and think you can just leave unscathed; don’t you think that’s wishful thinking?"

Lan Ying said in a cold voice.

Qin Ning is indeed Master Qin’s name.

Qin Ning retorted angrily, "Lan Ying, this is a duel they agreed upon themselves. Once accepted, they must be prepared for death! Ye Fan died because he’s inept. What does that have to do with our Academic Palace’s Ling Chen?"
