One against five? Still kills in seconds.

Jiang Xuan hadn’t expected things to develop this way and was quite surprised.

However, with a moment's thought, he understood.

One must know that any Martial Saint is an existence capable of presiding over a human nation.

In such a situation, behind a Martial Saint, there are bound to be numerous interests involved; to exaggerate, every action of a Martial Saint can affect millions of people and influence the decisions of other major powers.

Therefore, Jiang Xuan was very clear that the Yan School Alliance and the Three Great Martial Arts Halls would certainly not want to see the birth of a Martial Saint who did not belong to their sphere of influence.

So, whether he acted with his true identity or with this fabricated one, he would be targeted in the same way.

Because, even now, he did not belong to the Yan School Alliance or the Three Great Martial Arts Halls.

As Jiang Xuan had moved to avoid the Flying Sword earlier, he wasn’t standing with Pang Jinghai. At this moment, Pang Jinghai was blocked outside the encirclement, his face both surprised and anxious:

“Mu Su, Murong Hai, and the rest of you, what are you talking about? Who set these rules?”

The plump young man turned his head, glanced at Pang Jinghai, and his expression was quite helpless:

“Pang Jinghai, don’t interfere in this matter. Your mother is a Martial Saint, so our Revered Masters or university principals naturally wouldn’t dare to stop you from obtaining the martial dao sacred remains. That’s why you don’t know about this, and besides, both you and your mother are considered part of our Yan School Alliance and the Three Great Martial Arts Halls.”

After a slight pause, the plump young man continued:

“As for Brother Lu, since he comes from Xiabian No. 2 Middle School, there’s nothing we can do. The main reason is that he’s too eye-catching; he knocked out Swallow Blood and crippled the Subduing Dragon Saber Emperor. We can’t let him reap the benefits of our internal strife.”

Pang Jinghai grew even more anxious:

“Mu Su, you…!”

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Just then, footsteps sounded.

Everyone turned to look, only to see Li Qingshen also walking over step by step, joining the circle surrounding Jiang Xuan.

“My friend…”

Li Qingshen yawned, casually drew his long sword, and continued:

“Just as they said, make things easy for us. Otherwise, I’ll have no choice but to act. The principal of our Qinglian University also instructed me on this matter. He’s my father’s comrade, so I can’t disobey.”

By this time, the area around the ping-pong table and even a wider range was already filled with people.

It could be said that, apart from those who were knocked out or crippled, almost all of the remaining seven hundred-plus contenders had arrived.

“This Lu Renjia is indeed a bit too arrogant. Looking at his momentum before, it seemed he was really preparing to challenge the Prodigies of our City of Flame one by one. Now he’s hit a wall, haha!”

“Actually, there’s no need for so many people to gang up on him. I feel like Lu Renjia wouldn’t be able to withstand Li Qingshen’s attack alone.”

“That’s different. If Li Qingshen took too much effort to deal with Lu Renjia, wouldn’t that be unfair to him? He still has to fight Mu Su and the other four by himself.”

“Speaking of which, five people fighting one, isn’t that a bit too shameless?”

“What shameless? Are you comfortable with watching the martial dao sacred remains fall into the hands of someone outside our Yan School Alliance and the Three Great Martial Arts Halls, and then a Martial Saint-Grade power rising in a few years to compete with us for martial Dao resources?”

The crowd discussed turbulently, some waiting to watch a good show, some gloating, and some feeling it was unfair to Lu Renjia, Jiang Xuan’s Incarnation.

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Pang Jinghai could only sigh and shake his head.

The next moment, a phantom battleship rose from behind him, firing a laser beam towards Lu Renjia, Jiang Xuan’s Incarnation.

Jiang Xuan had not reacted at all, because he understood Pang Jinghai’s character.

Sure enough, after the laser landed, it only struck the ground to Jiang Xuan’s left, and immediately after, Pang Jinghai’s figure teleported over.

He had actually used this method to Breakthrough the encirclement, standing beside Jiang Xuan, in a way no one had expected.

“Brother, I can’t worry about so much. Since they’re being unreasonable, let’s go together. At worst, we die!”

Pang Jinghai clenched his fist, speaking with indignation, and the phantom battleship behind him began to solidify.

Li Qingshen and the others were surprised by this, but seeing that Lu Renjia, Jiang Xuan’s Incarnation, showed no sign of backing down, they looked at each other and then shook their heads helplessly.

“Just knock them out, don’t kill them.”

Li Qingshen, the strongest of the five, spoke, as if giving an order.

Boom—!

Boom—!

Two loud explosions of flame erupted as flames simultaneously ignited on Xu Tianyan and Xia Jiuyan, the Twin Stars of Divine Fire from Li Huo University.

The plump young man, Mu Su, clapped his hands together, and vines began to grow from beneath his feet.

Murong Hai, the tall and thin young man who had been silent, took a slight step forward, and a phantom white cloud appeared above his head, with faint flashes of lightning within it.

Li Qingshen held his twin swords, seemingly doing nothing, but the swords in his scabbards flew out, emitting a buzzing sword cry, and a cold light began to flow over their blades.

Seeing this, Jiang Xuan sighed slightly and shook his head.

“Since that’s the case…”

He lowered his right palm slightly, and a miniature black axe fell into his palm.

Immediately, the Crystal Condensation in his Dantian furiously circulated, and massive amounts of true essence were injected into the axe.

Roar—!

The next moment, a soul-stirring Dragon roar sounded!

The Dragon roar was so sudden and gave a feeling of overwhelming power that could not be resisted. Immediately after, a phantom of a pitch-black giant Dragon appeared above the encirclement.

The black Dragon phantom quickly solidified, its scales as black as ink, the killing intent in its eyes almost tangible, and its form like a mountain range, giving an irresistible sensation.

Li Qingshen and the other five Prodigies instinctively wanted to act, either to attack or to dodge, but immediately, extreme terror appeared on their faces!

Because they found that every part of their bodies, every inch of muscle, was… completely unable to move!

The next instant, the soul-stirring black Dragon opened its blood-red mouth and bit down towards the five of them.

Coiling Dragon Swallowing Heaven.

This was precisely the supreme Divine Ability within the coiling dragon axe that Jiang Xuan was fully activating for the first time, at the first Realm of the Crystal Condensation Realm!

Moreover, since these five had unreasonably surrounded him, he likewise showed no martial virtue, not enlarging the coiling dragon axe, but secretly activating it in his palm.

The more than seven hundred people around were almost all stunned. Even though most of them were martial Dao nobles from the City of Flame, with extensive knowledge and vision, they now felt a sense of bewilderment and confusion, as if they had never seen the world before.

What kind of Ultimate Skill is this?

It can actually conjure a black Dragon phantom as large as a small mountain!

And it directly restrained Li Qingshen and the other five, making them unable to move!

This is too amazing!

For a time, everyone looked at Lu Renjia, Jiang Xuan’s Incarnation, with both reverence and awe, feeling that he was simply mysterious and powerful to the extreme.

Crack!

The next instant, the coiling Dragon phantom, as large as a small mountain, bit down, simultaneously targeting all five people.
