25: Chapter 25: Battle!!

"What are they talking about? I don't understand," someone asked, puzzled.

"You weren't at the academy before, so you don't know about the big event a few days ago. Guo Feng, the second Young Master of the Guo Family, and Teacher Wu's granddaughter from the Inner Courtyard were crippled by a mysterious figure. Now it seems, that was Jiang Xuan."

"Holy crap, that's intense. No wonder we haven't seen them for days," the crowd exclaimed in shock.

"It's been so many days, and Jiang Xuan hasn't had any trouble. Could he have some backing?"

Listening to the discussions, Ye Wushuang whispered, "Second Brother, did you know about this all along?"

Ye Yun just smiled and said nothing. Ye Wushuang understood, "No wonder they're all so fearless. The only one who could make the Guo Family and Wu Tiangang not dare to act rashly is probably the Dean, one of the two Dharma Idols of Donglin Prefecture."

However, Ye Wushuang was still a bit puzzled. Judging by Jiang Xuan's demeanor, he didn't seem to know the Dean's identity. So what was he relying on to act so recklessly?

Guo Kun's face was clouded as he watched Jiang Xuan's arrogant display. A few days ago, news came from his clan that the second Young Master had been crippled at the academy gate. He was about to send people to apprehend the culprit.

But they couldn't find anyone, only knowing it was a mysterious person. The news seemed to have been suppressed by someone. Therefore, not many people knew that Jiang Xuan was brought back by the Dean.

Now that he knew, and Jiang Xuan was right in front of him, it was time to settle both old and new scores!

"Jiang Xuan! You crippled the second Young Master of my Guo Family first, and now you disregard the academy's rules. With such crimes, I don't think there's any need to take you back to the Enforcement Hall for investigation. Even if you're executed on the spot, no one will say anything!"

"Hahahaha, then what are you waiting for? Don't just stand there, act!" Jiang Xuan laughed wildly, not putting the other party in his eyes at all.

"Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish. Kill him for me!" Murderous intent flashed in Guo Kun's eyes as he commanded angrily.

"Swish, swish!" Upon receiving Guo Kun's order, several figures behind him revealed sinister smiles. They had long been annoyed by Jiang Xuan. Then, they simultaneously erupted with their Qi Sea Realm Middle Stage Cultivation, swinging their great sabers. Streaks of saber light flew out, slashing towards Jiang Xuan.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the courtyard. Could Jiang Xuan block so many Qi Sea Realm attacks?

"Good timing!" Jiang Xuan shouted loudly. Then, his own Qi Sea Realm Middle Stage Cultivation swept out. He intended to crush his opponents with the same Realm of Cultivation.

Forming a hand seal with one hand, a giant thunder sword emanating white lightning shot towards the dozens of saber lights. Against them, one sword was enough!

"Boom!" A huge sound echoed in the sky as the two attacks instantly collided. The dozens of saber lights shattered into pieces like paper, leaving only a faint Spiritual Qi fluctuation in the air.

The members of the Enforcement Hall groaned simultaneously, their bodies retreating several meters, while Jiang Xuan stood his ground, hands behind his back.

"What a terrifying sword move! It repelled dozens of attacks with a single strike."

"It's probably not just because of the sword move," someone with sharp eyes noticed a clue.

"Didn't you feel it? Although they are both in the Qi Sea Realm Middle Stage, the Aura that Jiang Xuan unleashed is far stronger than those in the Enforcement Hall. Perhaps the Cultivation Technique he Cultivates is also extraordinary."

Hearing this, the surrounding students secretly nodded. Indeed, the two Auras were as different as a small stream and a vast ocean.

"Is this all the strength the dignified Enforcement Hall has? You can't even defeat a newcomer from the Outer Courtyard, how embarrassing!" Jiang Xuan stood still, scoffing lightly.

As soon as these words came out, the students from the Outer Courtyard immediately perked up. "Hahaha, I don't know why, but it feels so good!"

Guo Kun's face was grim. He hadn't expected Jiang Xuan to be so difficult to deal with, but this was the end of it.

"Hmph! Jiang Xuan, don't get too smug too soon. Let me show you what the true strength of the Enforcement Hall is!" Guo Kun plunged his great saber into the ground, his hands constantly changing. He shouted, "Form the Formation!"

"This is?" A hint of solemnity flashed in Ye Yun's eyes. Was Guo Feng going to use that Formation?

The people who had just been repelled by Jiang Xuan also stepped forward, surrounding Guo Feng in the middle, their hands constantly moving, "Four Directions Unification Formation!"

As their words fell, their bodies once again erupted with Qi Sea Realm Aura. Then, through the Formation medium, it transferred into Guo Kun's body.

Guo Kun, surrounded by the crowd, had his Cultivation continuously rising under the infusion of the Formation. His original Qi Sea Perfection Realm was vaguely approaching the Spirit Infant Realm.

As time passed, waves of terrifying fluctuations emanated around Guo Kun. In the air, the Spiritual Qi suddenly became violent, and an Aura surpassing the Qi Sea Realm soared into the sky, crushing towards Jiang Xuan.

"Jiang Xuan, this time, let's see how you handle it. The foundation of the Enforcement Hall is not something a newcomer like you can resist!" Guo Kun's face showed delight. He wanted to personally watch Jiang Xuan be crushed to pieces by this oppressive power.

"This is a unique fifth-tier Formation of the Enforcement Hall. It can temporarily raise one person's Realm by a large margin by combining the strength of multiple people. Even so, it has significant side effects and is never used until the last moment."

"I didn't expect that to deal with Jiang Xuan, they would disregard their own consequences and even use their trump card."

"Bah, I think they're shameless! So many people against one, and they still need to use a Formation. It's simply despicable!"

The spectators from the Outer Courtyard cursed loudly, having given up on caring. At most, they'd get beaten up afterward... It wasn't like they hadn't been beaten before.

Guo Kun sneered in his heart as he heard the angry curses from around him. "Heh heh, it seems my Enforcement Hall's team is still too gentle; we haven't disciplined them enough in the past. Even the Outer Courtyard's trash dares to talk back and insult us like this." Then his face turned sinister, and he secretly memorized the faces of those who cursed the most fiercely.

Jiang Xuan yawned, looking at Guo Kun with the eyes of a clown. Is this what they call the Spirit Infant Realm? It's far worse than the demon general from the Hegemon Sect back then.

Jiang Xuan casually raised a hand, and the crushing Spirit Infant pressure instantly dissipated. "You've been dawdling for half a day, I thought you were so powerful. Is this all?"

"A bunch of idiots, what a broken Formation. You took so long to set it up; by the time you finished, your ashes would have already been scattered. It's just that This Young Master is kind enough to wait for you, and then swat it away with a single palm, at least letting you experience it."

"Looking at your expression just now, you seemed to be enjoying it, didn't you?" Jiang Xuan said with a half-smile, looking at Guo Kun, who was frozen in place.

Hearing Jiang Xuan's words, Guo Kun snapped back to reality. His face became extremely solemn. He regretted it a little. "Who exactly is this Jiang Xuan?"

However, with things having developed to this point, there was no turning back. If Jiang Xuan could not be killed here today, then his Enforcement Hall team would lose all authority from now on and become the laughingstock of the entire academy!

Furthermore, the Guo Family would definitely not let him go. With his talent, he was a disaster, and he had to be eliminated as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, terrifying murderous intent swept out. Today, no matter the cost, Jiang Xuan must be killed!

Feeling the murderous intent on Guo Kun, Jiang Xuan took a step forward, his tone icy. "Good, I wasn't planning on letting you go either." After speaking, an Aura several times stronger than Guo Kun's erupted.

"Let me show you what a true Spirit Infant is!"
