C89 Life and death epiphany

Just as the oncoming tiger claws were about to slap Feng Qinger, she twisted her slender waist and dodged it by a hair's breadth.

The tip of her feet lightly landed on the tiger's back. She did not stop and borrowed the power of the tiger's back to leap upwards. Her entire body was like a fairy, soaring up to over thirty meters in the air.

She calmly took out three arrows, nocked her bow. Her movements were fluid and smooth, as though she was performing a graceful dance, causing people to forget to breathe.

“swish!”

Three arrows flew towards the tiger's head.

“Puff, puff, puff!”

Out of the three arrows, two had pierced through the ears of the Black Striped Tiger and one had hit its nose.

After being hit by three arrows in a row, the Black Striped Tiger became even more furious and instantly entered a berserk state. It furs on its body all stuck up.

Everyone was completely stunned by Feng Qinger's elegant fighting style, but at the same time, it had also aroused their unwillingness to lose.

Especially Meng Fei, seeing a little girl like her being able to be so calm in the face of a life and death struggle, he himself had become a bad example.

Immediately, he roared loudly and crazily rushed towards the Black Striped Tiger.

The Black Striped Tiger was about to rush into the sky in anger and wanted to smash this human who had continuously injured itself into a meat patty.

However, just as it was about to charge up its strength, a rod coincidentally smashed onto the end of the arrow on its nose.

The Black Striped Tiger's nose was a very weak spot and its defense was very low. Half of the arrow had already pierced into its flesh.

Now that he was hit by the rod, it felt like it was being nailed straight to the end.

The Black Striped Tiger rolled on the ground in pain, and when it clearly saw the person in front of it, its eyes immediately spewed fire. This person was the first person had attacked it.

The roar was like the wild thunder of the dry land, shaking everyone until their ears began to buzz. For a time, they could no longer hear anything.

After the Black Striped Tiger roared, it locked onto Meng Fei and pounced on him. Meng Fei did not dodge or evade, he had a manly look on his face.

He channeled all of his strength in his body and moved towards the tiger claw. However, he had obviously underestimated the strength of the Third Ranked Demonic Beast.

He was sent flying several dozen meters back. As he landed, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his face was pale.

Just as the Black Striped Tiger was about to give chase, it heard a delicate shout, "Triple Layered Waves!"

"Shua! Shua! Shua!"

Three consecutive strikes, each sword was stronger than before. When the last strike landed on the Black Striped Tiger's neck, it immediately drew a two feet long wound, and fresh blood instantly flowed out.

The Black Striped Tiger was enraged, it immediately stood up, its claws flashing with a yellow Qi flow as it struck towards the ground.

"Be careful!" A soft cry rang out.

Ye Qingxuan was quickly pulled back by a hand, but it was still a step too late, and a wave of Qi spread out in all directions.

For everyone of Eight Desolations City, it was as if a sledgehammer had struck their chests, and they all spat out blood, and were blasted flying.

Everyone quickly suppressed their injuries and focused on attacking the Black Striped Tiger together.

Everyone discovered that ever since the Black Striped Tiger released that attack, its Qi was no longer as strong as before.

They were overjoyed. They seemed to have seen the hope to kill the Third Ranked Demonic Beast.

After the time it takes to burn an incense stick to burn, the Black Striped Tiger began to launch an area of effect attack, but this time, after his attack, it directly pounced towards Zhao Xuefeng, who had the weakest cultivation.

It was obvious that this Demonic Beast had already realized that it was going to die today and wanted to kill an enemy before it died.

At this moment, everyone was sent flying far away. There wasn't enough time to rescue him.

A shadow of death loomed over Zhao Xuefeng's heart, he felt his scalp go numb, and his body not listening to orders at all.

However, he had used a great amount of willpower to clear out this fear in his heart. He tightly grasped his treasured blade and watched the continuously growing claws as he attacked with his blade.

“Bang!”

Although the Black Striped Tiger was already at the end of its life, it was still not something that Zhao Xuefeng could compare to. He fell to the ground, with several bones broken.

Seeing that Zhao Xuefeng was not dead, the Black Striped Tiger immediately grabbed him again. At the moment, Zhao Xuefeng could only close his eyes and wait to die. Everyone couldn’t bear to watch and closed their eyes.

“Bang.”

With a dull thud, death did not descend. Instead, a hand held the tiger's claw.

A slightly thin black figure of a back, which was not very tall, entered Zhao Xuefeng's line of sight. However, it gave others the feeling that even if the sky collapsed, he would still be able to withstand it.

Ye Yang didn't turn back as he slowly recited, "The blade is the means to reach its target wherever it is."

Hearing Ye Yang's words, Zhao Xuefeng's mind resounded like thunder, his state of mind was as clear as ever.

He chanted repeatedly, "The blade is the means to reach its target through great concentration! The blade is the means to reach its target through great concentration!"

His eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and his entire body was emitting an indomitable aura. He was trying his best to stand up, raise his blade horizontally, and silently close his eyes.

Ye Yang kicked the Black Striped Tiger away, and looked at Zhao Xuefeng silently. The corner of his mouth curled into a slight smile, “So that is what it is.”

"The blade is the means to reach its target through great concentration!" Zhao Xuefeng suddenly opened his eyes, the treasured blade in his hand flashed with a cold light.

With a loud shout, Zhao Xuefeng slashed at the Black Striped Tiger in the distance. A thirty-meter-long transparent blade appeared in midair, and fiercely smashed downwards.

“Puff.”

Blood wildly sprayed out as the massive tiger head rolled to the ground.

"Putong", Zhao Xuefeng fell onto the ground.

Everyone was shocked by Zhao Xuefeng's sudden action. Seeing that Zhao Xuefeng had fallen to the ground, they all stepped forward to check his injuries and gave him medicine.

Not long after, Zhao Xuefeng woke up. At the same time as he opened his eyes, Zhao Xuefeng said with an excited face, "Big Brother Ye, I just …

"Congratulations, you have successfully comprehended a blade intent." Ye Yang laughed.

"What? The blade intent?" Meng Fei was shocked.

"So I am the same as the warrior ranking number 1, Ye Yuhan?"

"Pa!"

Ye Yang clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.

"You saw what happened today. A single Third Ranked Demonic Beast almost took everyone's lives, but our enemies are definitely much more terrifying than Third Ranked Demonic Beast."

Ye Yang continued to speak, "If we are not strong enough, in the future, we will only be able to watch helplessly as the people beside us die one by one."

Ye Yang's words made them feel as if a thousand gold was pressing down on their hearts. Today, they completely experienced the taste of death.

They had never been so close to death before, and this was the first time they felt that they were useless. Facing the Third Ranked Demonic Beast, they were so powerless.

"The reason I called everyone here today is to tell you how important strength is. Compared to the Life and Death, fighting in the academy is as boring as a child's fight!"

"In the future, I will encounter many enemies, so many that they might be unfathomable, and they might even be strong beyond your imagination. Today, all of you have experienced the pain of watching your comrades die while being powerless to help."

"I hope that after you return, you can work hard to cultivate and increase your strength as soon as possible. Our time is very precious. As long as we increase our strength by a bit more, in the future, there will be an additional chance for us to survive." Ye Yang said in a heavy tone.

"Don't worry Big Brother Ye. When we go back, we will definitely work hard." Gu Yang said. Although he was older than Ye Yang, he had also started to call him Big Brother Ye.

"Oh. Boss, how did you become enemies with such a powerful people?" Meng Fei asked in confusion.

Hearing Ye Yang's words, everyone's heart became heavy, at the same time they were also curious, how could Ye Yang have such powerful enemies. Upon seeing Meng Fei ask, they all perked up their ears to listen.

"If I told you that I killed a Martial Emperor, would you believe me?" Ye Yang laughed faintly.

Meng Fei shook his head like a rattle drum and said, "I don't believe you!"

"If you don't believe me, why do you ask? You seem to be quite energetic. Why don't you find another Demonic Beast and continue leading the way?"

Meng Fei screamed miserably, "No!"

He caused others laugh. After laughing, Ye Yang told everyone to pack up their things, and then told a few men to take out the tiger skin and crystal nucleus.

After putting everything away, Ye Yang and the others returned to the Academy. After everyone was settled down, Ye Yang took out the point cards, leaving only one hundred thousand, and give all the rest to Ye Qingxuan, telling her to not worry about the points and the other things, only improving the strength was the first mission.

After he was done with his arrangements, Ye Yang went out to Ye Yuhan's residence. Ye Yuhan was currently cultivating.

Seeing that Ye Yang had arrived, Ye Yuhan was instantly overjoyed.

"Let's go." Ye Yang did not say much either.

After the two of them found a place with no signs of human life, Ye Yang opened his mouth and said, "Today's competition is related to your future, have you thought about it?"

Ye Yuhan said with a face full of fighting spirit, "As a swordsman, how can you climb to the peak of the way of the sword if you don't even have the confidence to win?"

"Alright, let's do it." He waved his hand.

"Then you're welcome!"

"Clang!" The treasured sword was unsheathed, and with a touch of cold light, it descended towards Ye Yang.

"Dang!", the long sword was bounced back by Ye Yang's finger.

"There's no need to test me. Just directly take out your ultimate move. I'm very busy …" Ye Yang said.

Seeing that Ye Yang had blocked his sword with his finger, he was shocked and nodded his head.

"Then you must be careful!"

After his words, the aura on his body grew longer, and he pointed his long sword at the sky. His sharp aura made it seem as though even the air had started to wail.

"Hiss!"

The air seemed to be cut apart and made a tearing sound. At the same time, the space seemed to have been frozen. Ye Yang realized that he was stuck in ice, unable to dodge at all.

Ye Yang took a deep breath, the Genuine Essence in his body revolved, and his entire body instantly turned bronze in color, as he punched in front of him.

"Crack, crack!" The surrounding space let out sounds as Ye Yang moved, as if something had shattered.

“Bang.”

The fist and sword clashed. Ye Yang stood still, while Ye Yuhan was pushed back more than 10 steps, with blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that Ye Yang was unharmed, shock filled his eyes: "How can you block my sword intent, you should know that even if it was a normal treasure weapon, it wouldn't be able to block my sword."

"You're not the only one who comprehended sword intent." Ye Yang said.

"Impossible, you don't even use the sword, how could you comprehend the sword intent?" Ye Yuhan did not believe it.

"What I comprehend is not the sword intent, it is just one of the many mental intents. What I comprehend is called 'Force'," Ye Yang said.

"Force?" Ye Yuhan was suspicious.

"Yes. Just like how you use the sword and infuse your entire spirit into the sword, resonating with the sword and displaying an enormous power!"

"And my 'force' is a type of Tao Heart, an invincible Tao Heart that makes me believe that I can sweep away everything and look down upon everything. As long as I believe that my fist can block your sword, it will definitely be able to!"

After listening to Ye Yang's words, a trace of understanding flashed past Ye Yuhan's eyes. After a moment of silence, he said, "I, Ye Yuhan, will follow you in the future."
