425: Feiyu Shengzong Arrives

As long as Lin Ye cooperated obediently and handed over the Haoran Sword and the method to Cultivate Upright Qi.

They would naturally give him some benefits in return.

Of course, it would be at most two Cultivation Techniques.

After all, in the eyes of the people from Xuanyang Academy, Upright Qi and the Haoran Sword originally belonged to their academy, and Lin Ye was merely returning them.

Since it was a return, it was only reasonable for them to pay a nominal reward.

That was two Cultivation Techniques!

Xuanyang Academy had over a hundred thousand Cultivation Techniques, and there were no shortage of top-tier ones; letting Lin Ye choose two was already their greatest concession.

"Lin Ye!"

The leading instructor spoke earnestly, "As long as you hand over the Haoran Sword and the method to Cultivate Upright Qi, we will let you choose two Cultivation Techniques, and you will even gain the friendship of our Xuanyang Academy."

Hm?

Lin Ye, who had already decided what to say, was once again stunned by the shameless appearance of Xuanyang Academy.

As expected, whether it was the academies in the Nine Heavens and Ten Domains or the Xuanyang Academy here in the Great Thousand Domains, they were all hypocrites of the same ilk.

People like this actually want to Cultivate the so-called Upright Qi?

What a joke!

Lin Ye shook his head and sighed, "Sigh... what can I even say to you? Forget it, I don't even want to talk anymore. Come here, and I will give you the Haoran Sword."

With that, Lin Ye raised the Haoran Sword in his hand and held it straight out.

The leading instructor did not have the slightest suspicion and walked directly forward.

In his view, Lin Ye was now at the end of his rope; after all, that Guardian was fighting against the Ancestors, and barring any accidents, he would be defeated before long.

With so many instructors mobilized to surround Lin Ye, what else could the other party do?

He could only obediently hand over those two items.

The leading instructor walked up to Lin Ye and reached out his hand.

Swish!

At this moment, a strange ghost mask suddenly appeared on Lin Ye's face, and the aura on his body gradually climbed to its limit.

This ghost mask became more solid as the intent of Killing grew deeper. The first time Lin Ye had the ghost mask cover his face was due to the rise of that Killing intent.

Every time the mask covered his face, it gave Lin Ye an extremely strange and comfortable feeling.

It was as if his nature was being released, and his combat power was greatly amplified. Coupled with the blessing of the Killing Life Tathagata's aura, the Haoran Sword in Lin Ye's hand erupted with infinite calamitous light.

The Upright Qi was absorbed by the Haoran Sword, combined with the intent of Killing and the Pacifying Chaos Sword Art.

A sword beam like red clouds burst forth. At this moment, on the sword beam, it seemed as if an aura from the beginning of the Dao permeated, as if returning to the time when heaven and earth were first created.

Swish!!!

A world-shocking sword strike was unleashed. The smile on the leading instructor's face had not yet vanished before he was struck squarely by the sword beam.

A dignified Saint did not even have a chance to react. His body and blood were evaporated by the sword beam, his surrounding Dao Rhyme was blocked by the Upright Qi, and he vanished from between heaven and earth.

A Saint had fallen; blood rain descended, and heaven and earth mourned together.

But before the people from the academy could react.

The momentum of the sword beam did not diminish; it seemed to evolve into a Domain and struck towards the several other instructors.

"How bold!!!"

Several instructors roared. They had never expected that Lin Ye would dare to kill so ruthlessly at this moment, and why did he possess the power to kill a Saint with one sword strike!

At this moment, they were unable to think at all.

Facing the sword beam that had evolved into a Domain, the spiritual power on everyone erupted, and an ocean of spiritual power surged forth.

Boom!!!!!!

The resounding boom echoed between heaven and earth. The visiting Prodigies in the distance were completely dumbfounded; they were all shocked by Lin Ye's strength.

Defeating Kong Wushuang was one thing, and even if he fought back and forth with Yang Tiansheng, they would have accepted it, but killing a Saint with one sword strike—and a Saint from Xuanyang Academy, not some Loose Cultivator—was different.

With such combat power, how were they supposed to compete?!

Haa...

Lin Ye exhaled a breath. The ghost mask disappeared, and he swayed unsteadily, appearing as if he would collapse at any moment.

After all, he had defied the natural order to kill a Saint; the spiritual power in his body was exhausted, and he had even borrowed the power of the Killing Life Tathagata.

He did not know why, but every time he used the power of the Killing Life Tathagata, he felt that the phantom of the Killing Life Tathagata became a bit more solid, as if it were about to come alive.

The bronze coffin in his storage space also showed signs of movement.

In the future, it would be best to use the power of the Killing Life Tathagata less.

The sword beams that had slashed across the air were finally blocked by the joint efforts of the instructors, but the massive Sword Qi that scattered still caused many academy Disciples to be injured or even killed.

Their faces were gloomy, and their gazes toward Lin Ye were filled with killing intent.

"Lin Ye, you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! I will drag you back to the prison and use the soul-extraction and spirit-refining method to pry all your secrets out of you!"

Hearing the other party threaten him through gritted teeth, Lin Ye smiled weakly, "Xuanyang Academy is indeed a place that harbors filth. A bunch of demonic heretics who attempt to use soul-extraction and spirit-refining methods want to obtain the Haoran Sword and the method to Cultivate Upright Qi?"

"Hehe... what a laughingstock."

"Bullshit!!!"

Hearing Lin Ye say that the academy was a place that harbored filth and calling them demons.

The instructor roared with a flushed face and thick neck, "You are the one who is a Demonic Cultivator!!! That blood-colored aura, that strange Buddha statue, including the rolling Devilish Qi on your body! A Demonic Cultivator like you is not worthy of possessing our academy's Upright Qi! It is for this reason that we want to take back the items on you!"

"Hehe..." Lin Ye sneered, "If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext. I am a dignified Cultivator of the Righteous Path; why would I fear demonic scum like you? I only hate that I am powerless; otherwise, I would definitely wipe out you demons!"

"Lin Ye! You Demonic Cultivator, stop arguing sophistry. When you were fighting Yang Tiansheng earlier, didn't you say you wanted to compare who among you two had more Devilish Qi?!"

Hearing this, Lin Ye's expression remained unchanged, "Is that so? I didn't say that."

"..."

Those few instructors were trembling with rage, "Shameless junior, even if you try to invert the world today, our Xuanyang Academy will act on behalf of the heavens!!! We will definitely extract your soul and refine your spirit!"

"Oh?"

At this moment, above the Void Realm, rays of light shimmered, and one figure after another appeared beside Lin Ye.

The person in the lead walked out slowly; who else could it be but the Holy Master of the Flying Feather Holy Sect, Duanmu Yu.

Duanmu Yu first looked at the injuries on Lin Ye's body, and upon discovering that he was only weak, he breathed a sigh of relief. He then walked step by step to the very front, shielding Lin Ye behind him.

His face carried a mocking expression.

"Who did you just say you were acting for? And who were you planning to extract the soul and refine the spirit of?"

"Duan... Duanmu Yu?!"

Seeing the person who had arrived, everyone from Xuanyang Academy was stunned.
