53: Chapter 53: A ruthless, mutually destructive sword technique! Auction frenzy ensues!

Five-Layer Blade Intent, what level is that?

Lu Qingyun didn't know, but he knew it couldn't be that high!

Otherwise, why couldn't he kill a puny Xiantian with a single slash!?

Even though it seemed shocking in Instructor Zhao Lieyang's words, this couldn't make Lu Qingyun feel the slightest bit proud.

After all, what kind of insight could an ordinary martial artist who only reached the Innate Realm in his fifties have!

Lu Qingyun didn't answer Instructor Zhao Lieyang.

At this moment, he only had one goal in his heart: to beat this instructor into submission!

It was just a pity that his strength still wasn't enough.

Otherwise...

Lu Qingyun glanced at the group of instructors behind him, all of whom were in the Innate Realm.

Then, he fixed his gaze back on Instructor Zhao Lieyang.

The combat blade in his hand was filled with a chilling aura!

He didn't waste any more words!

Lu Qingyun charged directly at Instructor Zhao Lieyang with his blade!

Bang—!

Bang—!!

After several collisions, Instructor Zhao Lieyang no longer had the heart to think about what level Lu Qingyun's blade intent had reached.

He discovered that this guy's strength was completely on par with his own!

Even... slightly exceeding it!

If not for the fact that he was constantly using Xiantian power to reinforce his own body, he probably would have shown signs of defeat by now!

"This can't go on!" Instructor Zhao Lieyang thought to himself.

If things continued at this pace, he was afraid... he would truly become a disgrace to the Innate Realm for being defeated by someone of a lower rank!

He had to change his tactics!

On the other side, after failing to break through for a long time, the manic feeling in Lu Qingyun's heart grew stronger!

He didn't want to waste time here either; after all, there were a bunch of customers waiting for him to auction off the rankings!

With a ruthless heart, Lu Qingyun made a move that no one expected!

"Inch Explosion Force!"

Lu Qingyun unleashed power from his feet, instantly closing the distance between him and Instructor Zhao Lieyang!

Then, to Instructor Zhao Lieyang's shock, he lunged forward, grabbing him tightly!

The next moment, he raised the combat blade in his hand and stabbed down fiercely!

Puchi—!!

The sharp blade sliced through flesh and skin, piercing through both of their bodies!

Warm blood splattered everywhere!

This sudden scene left the Tianjiao Camp students and instructors present stunned!

"This is... mutual destruction!!?"

"Holy crap!! Is he really that ruthless to himself?"

"As expected, the pressure of facing a Xiantian expert is simply too great! Lu Qingyun is taking a desperate gamble, wanting to rely on the special traits of a Physical-type Awakened to compete with Instructor Zhao on who can survive longer!"

The Tianjiao Camp students had limited strength and couldn't see the true state of the situation.

They only felt that Lu Qingyun was already impressive enough to exchange so many moves with a Xiantian Realm instructor. And now, he was trying to win in a way that exceeded everyone's expectations!

Regardless of who won or lost, this fighting spirit was enough to earn their respect!

But in the eyes of the other instructors, the scene was different!

"Quick! Pull them apart!"

"This kid has gone mad, he wants to kill Instructor Zhao Lieyang!!!"

Every instructor was a Xiantian expert and could naturally see that Instructor Zhao Lieyang had been at a disadvantage the whole time.

While they were secretly shocked, they were also excited that such a monster-like genius had appeared in this batch.

But this excitement... turned into horror the moment Lu Qingyun made his move!

The group rushed forward, wanting to pull the two apart.

During this process, Lu Qingyun's movements were extremely fast!

While resisting Instructor Zhao Lieyang's counter-struggle, he stabbed himself more than a dozen times, each strike going all the way through!

It was a pity that the vitality of a Xiantian Realm martial artist was truly too tenacious.

Lu Qingyun could only helplessly throw his combat blade aside when the other instructors arrived.

Then, he pushed away the limp Instructor Zhao Lieyang who was draped over him.

He raised his hands high and said calmly:

"Don't make a move. I'm a casualty, severely injured. If you touch me, I'll lie down and extort you to death."

Before he could finish speaking, the post-combat recovery mechanism began to activate.

Although Lu Qingyun reacted in time and temporarily shut it off, new granulation tissue was growing on the holes in his body at a visible speed, and the blood seeping out was about as much as you'd get from bleeding gums.

This scene made some of the instructors who originally wanted to provide emergency rescue to Lu Qingyun stop in their tracks.

They looked at Lu Qingyun with eyes like they were looking at a monster.

In the end, they only took away Instructor Zhao Lieyang, who was lying in a pool of blood with only a few breaths left.

"Cough, cough!"

Seeing Instructor Zhao Lieyang being carried away, Lu Qingyun coughed twice fake-ishly, and said in a tone that sounded like he had a kidney deficiency:

"The external factors have been resolved. Although there were quite a few twists and turns, for the sake of everyone's interests, I am still able to hold my post even though I am severely injured."

"Now, I announce that the auction is officially starting!"

"The first to appear are the eleventh to twentieth places, a total of ten spots. The ten highest bidders will win them. Everyone can start bidding now. I only accept money or cuiqiao pills; as for other spiritual items... it depends on the situation, and the final interpretation rights belong to me."

After a moment of silence, the scene instantly boiled over following the first person's bid!

"I bid five million!"

"Get lost! You want to take the top twenty spots with five million? Get lost if you don't have money! I bid ten million!"

...

(Need to find a job, sad—!!!)
