“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Amidst the crowd of disciples, three fleeting shadows swiftly ascended the three Crouching Dragon Platforms.
On Crouching Dragon Platform No. 1, Wu Ling stood proudly.
On Crouching Dragon Platform No. 2, Cheng Jinyue stood with his hands clasped behind his back.
Dressed in a long, flowing purple dress, Xue Ziyan stood tall and graceful on Crouching Dragon Platform No. 3.
In a long purple dress, Xue Ziyan stood gracefully on Crouching Dragon Platform No. 3.
Xue Ziyan's delicate brows furrowed slightly as she sensed an invisible killing intent sweeping toward her.
At this moment, the five soul daoist announced loudly, “I hereby declare, the defending the arena battle of the Five Soul Lineage begins now!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd fell silent.
Currently, apart from the powerful masters who had already become arena masters from the Holy Spirit Lineage and Beast Spirit Lineage, most of the strong disciples had been killed by Tan Yun and Mu Mengyi, making it clear that the remaining disciples from these two lineages were not interested in challenging Wu Ling and Cheng Jinyue.
The disciples from the Ancient Soul Lineage also did not make a move to challenge the two.
The disciples from the Weapon, Talismans, Formation, and Danmai lineages knew the names of Wu Ling and Cheng Jinyue very well, understanding that they were the strongest of the Five Soul Lineage.
It is well-known that there are over six hundred thousand disciples in the inner sect nine meridians, among which the Five Soul Lineage has the largest number, reaching a terrifying fifteen thousand!
Among these fifteen thousand disciples, it is easy to imagine how strong Wu Ling and Cheng Jinyue are, who ranked in the top two!
Therefore, unless the other disciples wanted to die, they would never be arrogant enough to challenge the two!
However, Xue Ziyan was different; everyone knew she was the closed-door disciple of the five soul daoist. After various inquiries, it was discovered that she was not even in the top one hundred of the strength rankings of the Five Soul Lineage!
“Zhu Gang from the Beast Spirit Lineage challenges Xue Ziyan!”
With a deep voice, a young disciple leaped onto Crouching Dragon Platform No. 3, glaring at Xue Ziyan, and sinisterly said, “So you are Mu Mengyi's sister? Tan Yun's little sister-in-law!”
“What of it? What if not?” Xue Ziyan coldly laughed, “What's the matter? You know you can't defeat my sister Mu and brother-in-law, so you want to kill me to vent your anger?”
“Hahaha!” Zhu Gang laughed coldly, “What of it? What if not? You just need to know that you will die soon.”
“You shameless scoundrel, daring to imitate me!” Xue Ziyan rebuked coldly, “Go die!”
“Tsk tsk, with you? I Zhu am certainly not a match for Tan Yun and Mu Mengyi, but dealing with you is a piece of cake...”
Zhu Gang's mocking laughter suddenly stopped. In his line of sight, a blurry purple shadow approached him with an unattainable speed. When he attempted to dodge, a sharp pain shot through his neck!
“Whoosh!”
A purple afterimage appeared behind Zhu Gang, transforming into Xue Ziyan. Unbeknownst to him, she had already drawn her sword, and droplets of blood dripped from the sword's blade to the tip!
Xue Ziyan did not glance back at Zhu Gang. Instead, she looked down at the disciples below the stage, her beautiful eyes filled with determination, “Everyone listen clearly! My sister's and brother-in-law's enemies are my enemies!”
“If I find out who dares to harm my sister and brother-in-law, Zhu Gang will be your fate!”
As soon as her voice fell, “Thud!” Zhu Gang clutched his slashed neck and fell limply onto the platform. After a spasm, he breathed his last!
The blood gushing from his neck stained the platform, and the wound on his neck was particularly eye-catching!
The crowd stared at Zhu Gang's corpse, falling into silence. The killing intent that had surrounded Xue Ziyan dissipated one after another.
Everyone knew that Zhu Gang was a fifth-ranked entity in the Beast Spirit Lineage!
