Killing two birds with one stone! By capturing Gu and Song, and seducing Lin Yuan, Young Master Liu has won big!

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

Chen Yu stood outside the battle circle, watching this scene, and cursed in anger.

Over a dozen people besieging one woman, and they were actually being suppressed by her!

If word of this got out, how would they ever show their faces again!

Liu Mingxuan's expression was equally unsightly.

He narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Gu Ningxue's movement and sword techniques, a trace of deep-seated wariness flashing in his eyes.

He had long known that Gu Ningxue was a recognized Genius of the Capital Martial Arts Academy with formidable strength.

But he hadn't expected her to be strong to this extent!

Every one of her seemingly effortless sword strikes contained an extremely profound Sword Intent, always breaking the opponent's strongest offensive with the smallest cost!

"Form the Formation!"

Liu Mingxuan finally barked a cold command, issuing a new instruction!

"Use the Liu Family's Four Symbols Sky-Locking Formation to trap her! Don't let her move around anymore!"

Hearing the command, the remaining dozen or so disciples felt their spirits lift and immediately shifted positions in a well-trained manner!

Four Liu Family disciples occupied the east, south, west, and north positions respectively, their internal spiritual energy instantly connecting!

Buzz—!

A visible curtain of energy rose from the ground, forming a massive cage that instantly sealed off all of Gu Ningxue's space to dodge.

Meanwhile, the disciples from the other families took this opportunity to launch even more violent attacks!

"Let's see where you hide this time!"

Seeing this, a savage smile reappeared on Chen Yu's face.

Gu Ningxue's brow finally furrowed slightly.

With her space restricted, the effectiveness of her proud movement techniques was reduced to a minimum.

Facing the attacks booming from all directions simultaneously, she took a deep breath and poured her spiritual energy into the long sword in her hand without reservation!

"Three Feet of Ice!"

She gave a clear shout and slammed her long sword into the ground.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

An extreme chill suddenly erupted with her as the center!

Visible frost, like living venomous snakes, spread madly in all directions along the ground!

The temperature within the entire Formation space plummeted instantly.

Those disciples of the noble families charging at the front only felt a bone-piercing chill invade their bodies, their movements instantly becoming sluggish and stiff!

However, at the very moment her old strength was exhausted and her new strength had yet to arise!

A sinister blade light, like a long-lurking venomous snake, tore through the cold air and silently slashed toward the back of her neck!

It was one of the Chen Family disciples who had been hiding in the crowd and had not yet made a move!

He had been waiting for this one fatal opportunity!

This strike was both fast and ruthless!

Alarm bells rang in Gu Ningxue's heart; she wanted to defend, but it was already too late!

At this critical juncture.

Swoosh—!!!

A piercing sound of something breaking through the air suddenly rang out from deep within the bamboo forest.

An eerie purple light, faster and more powerful than the sneak-attacking blade light, arrived.

It arrived later but struck first, carrying a domineering and tyrannical force as it slammed heavily into the sneak-attacking short blade!

Clang!

A crisp sound rang out!

That Chen Family disciple only felt an irresistible force surge through him; in an instant, the webbing of his hand split open, and the short blade in his hand was sent flying!

The man himself was sent flying seven or eight meters back by that overbearing force, spraying blood from his mouth.

"Who is it?!"

Liu Mingxuan and Chen Yu's expressions changed, and they suddenly looked toward the direction the light had come from.

They saw a figure land quietly.

That slender and moving figure, outlined by a tight-fitting combat suit, was like an elegant leopard slowly walking out from the shadows of the bamboo forest.

The newcomer was none other than Song Yao!

In her hand, she held a purple chain blade, the end of which was still vibrating slightly, making a humming sound.

"Liu Mingxuan, Chen Yu, over a dozen people bullying one girl—you guys really are something."

A mocking sneer played on the corners of Song Yao's mouth.

Those lively eyes were filled with undisguised disdain.

Seeing it was her, a complex look flashed through Gu Ningxue's cold eyes, but she still whispered, "Thank you."

"No need for thanks," Song Yao said without looking back, her gaze locked onto Liu Mingxuan. "I just simply dislike the sight of them."

"Song Yao?" Chen Yu's face instantly became incredibly dark. "This is none of your business. I advise you not to meddle in things that don't concern you!"

"Meddle?" Song Yao scoffed as if she had heard a huge joke. "Every point in this wasteland is my business. Today, this Young Miss is definitely getting involved!"

"You!"

Chen Yu was speechless with rage.

"Good, very good!"

A trace of greed and ruthlessness flashed in Liu Mingxuan's eyes.

Instead of getting angry, he laughed. "Since the Eldest Young Miss of the Song Family is here too, then that's perfect! It saves us the trouble of looking for you!"

"One Gu Ningxue, one Song Yao! The two great heavenly prodigies of Yan Capital—today, both are going to fall into our hands!"

"Take them both down! The points from this hunt will be enough for us to look down on everyone! We can even use them to bait out that trash Lin Yuan!"

Liu Mingxuan's voice was filled with excitement.

This was simply a god-given opportunity!

Killing two birds with one stone!

No, it was three birds with one stone!

"Brothers, don't worry about being gentle! All together now! Take them down!"

At Liu Mingxuan's command, the eyes of those noble Family disciples, who had been somewhat wary, were instantly filled with the flames of greed.

That's right!

One was the Eldest Young Miss of the Gu Family, the other was the daughter of the Song Family!

Either one represented a massive amount of points and supreme glory!

Now that both had delivered themselves to the door, what was there to hesitate about?!

"Kill!"

Everyone rushed forward madly toward Gu Ningxue and Song Yao again, as if they had been injected with adrenaline!

"Be careful!"

Gu Ningxue gave a warning and stood back-to-back with Song Yao, meeting the enemies once more.

Song Yao's addition undoubtedly made the situation much better.

Gu Ningxue's sword followed a light and precise path, responsible for precision kills and defense.

While Song Yao's chain blade was wide and sweeping, wild and domineering, responsible for large-scale clearing and suppression!

One hard and one soft, one quiet and one active!

Although it was the first time the two of them had joined forces, with their combat instincts as top Prodigies, they actually coordinated flawlessly!

For a time, sword light and whip shadows interlaced, and they actually managed to withstand the siege of over a dozen prodigies!

Within the bamboo forest, the sound of spiritual energy exploding was incessant, with shattered rocks and broken bamboo flying everywhere!

However, two pairs of hands are no match for four!

No matter how strong the two of them were, there were still only two of them!

The opponent's numbers were simply too many!

Moreover, every single one of them was an expert in the Marrow Cleansing Realm!

The battle lasted for nearly ten minutes.

Both Gu Ningxue's and Song Yao's breathing began to grow ragged.

The spiritual energy in their bodies was being consumed extremely rapidly in such high-intensity combat!

"We can't drag this on any longer!" A cold light flashed in Liu Mingxuan's eyes as he gave Chen Yu a meaningful look. "Let's strike together and finish this quickly!"

"Alright!"

Chen Yu had long been unable to restrain himself.

The moment the words fell!

"Wind-Splitting Slash!"

Chen Yu roared, and on the war blade 'Wind-Splitter' in his hand, a green light shone brilliantly. A terrifying blade aura several zhang long, carrying a whistle that tore through the air, slashed toward the two of them!
