Chapter 0008: Excessive Deception

The disciples of the upper academy advanced step by step towards the bend of Zhongyue's leg, only to see numerous disciples of the upper academy coming and going in front of the Scripture Pavilion, bustling and lively, yet not a single person stepped forward to intervene, merely observing from a distance

A loud shockwave reverberated, and a figure was seen being swept into the air, crashing violently against the doors and windows of the Scripture Pavilion, which were instantly shattered

He swept his leg again and laughed, "But you stubbornly refuse to kneel, and I fear you will suffer even more!"

He had previously kicked at Zhong Yue's knee one after another, thus he was extremely close to Zhong Yue. Suddenly, Zhong Yue exerted force, shattering the Turtle Mountain totem pillar, and with a sweeping kick, he left him no chance to evade

I heard that a few days ago, Master Zuo from Bikun Hall and Master Tian had a conflict due to a disciple of the Zhongshan clan. Master Zuo severely injured Master Tian and seized control of Bikun Hall. The Tianfeng clan lost Bikun Hall, and the higher-ups were furious, putting pressure on Master Zuo, leading to a very unpleasant situation

Just now, the force of Zhong Yue's kick was incredibly heavy. Although he had a deeper cultivation than Zhong Yue and had entered the path earlier, he was still overwhelmed by Zhong Yue's dragon power, which injured the muscles, tendons, and bones of his legs, rendering him unable to exert any strength in them and forcing him to kneel.

The elder of the Tianfeng clan became enraged, his palm retracting into his sleeve. With a subtle flick of his finger, the soul weapon of the disciples from the upper courtyard suddenly shot out with a whoosh, piercing through the smoke and dust, and darting towards Zhong Yue like lightning. No one noticed that he had made his move in silence

The roar of the dragon suddenly erupted, resonating endlessly. The deep dragon's chant grew louder and clearer. Zhong Yue, under the pressure of the two totem pillars of the Turtle Mountain, gradually rose to his feet, and the dragon patterns on his body became increasingly distinct.

The power contained in this kick is incomparably stronger than that of the lower-level demon clans, as if it could topple mountains and shake the very earth beneath it

The deception has gone too far

The disciple of the upper house was filled with rage and shock, suddenly a sharp blade soared into the air from his waist, adorned with magnificent totem patterns, which was unmistakably his soul weapon

What is going on?" someone asked in a low voice, unaware of the underlying circumstances.

Zhong Yue's legs were bent further, and the pressure from the two turtle mountain totem pillars weighed down on him even more, pinning him down firmly

Useless things, not even able to deal with a rookie who has just entered the upper house!

You have no one to teach you in the Sword Gate, no one to guide you, and you can only let your skills waste away; your cultivation will also reach its limit, and as for becoming a Qi Refining Master, that is simply out of the question

This is because the Tianfeng clan has lost the Bikuangtang, and other Qi refiners are concerned that taking you as a disciple would displease the Tianfeng clan, which is why no Qi refiners have accepted you

Hello!

Bang

The disciple of the Tianfeng clan rushed towards the elder of the Tianfeng clan in the Bikong Hall, kneeling down with a thud in front of the elder. His knees struck the ground, and blood gushed out, staining the area red.

Zhong Yue was swept to one knee, his hands clenched into fists supporting the ground, struggling to prevent his other leg from kneeling down. His forehead, hands, and veins were bulging, taut and strained.

Zhong Yue let out a muffled sound and, upon hearing the words, looked towards the Scripture Transmission Pavilion. He saw that the elder of the Biking Hall, Tian Feng, was indeed sitting there in a quiet room, looking at him with a blank expression.

You are seeking death

His soul was released and retracted; throwing out a piece of blue stone slab, it immediately summoned the soul into another blue stone slab. In an instant, the blue stone slabs in front of the Scripture Pavilion soared up like waves, forming a straight line, and whistled as they smashed towards the Scripture Pavilion

The disciple of the upper courtyard in the Transmission Pavilion was taken aback, hurriedly retracting his soul weapon and swinging his sword towards the sky full of blue stone slabs. In an instant, rocks flew in all directions, and dust filled the air, resembling a thick fog.

Zhong Yue gritted his teeth, and his soul suddenly left his body. He fiercely summoned his soul into the blue stone slab beneath his feet, and with a loud whoosh, the several hundred-pound blue stone slab flew up, crashing towards the Scripture Pavilion!

What a significant loss it is! Look, Master Tian from the Chuanjing Pavilion's Bixingtang has also arrived. Officially, he is here to transmit the scriptures, but it is likely that he also wants to see the outcome of the Zhongshan family.

The disciple of the Tianfeng clan let out a muffled groan, and suddenly, a faint cracking sound came from the two turtle mountain totem pillars. Then, with a series of explosive sounds, they shattered into countless wooden fibers that flew in all directions. It was evident that instead of suppressing Zhong Yue, the totem pillars had been shattered by Zhong Yue's immense dragon power.

In that quiet room, all the disciples of the Tianfeng clan were stunned, and the elder of the Tianfeng clan was equally astonished

In this situation, it is as if the body of a dragon is moving over him, with the thick dragon's body causing scales to rise up in patches.

What does Tian Fengshi amount to!

The sword light came rushing towards him, and a rain of swords fell from the sky, moving faster than his retreat. The razor-sharp sword light could sever hair and split skin; if struck by the sword light, even a body of iron would likely be left riddled with holes

Zhong Yue let out a thunderous roar, his spine straightening increasingly. As he stood up, an incredibly wild and fierce aura surged from behind him. A terrifying and menacing dragon head slowly rose from the back of his head, its eyes gleaming with an unparalleled ferocity, while dragon claws gripped Zhong Yue's shoulders firmly

Hoo hoo hoo

A female disciple shook her head and said: "The Tianfeng clan is one of the top ten clans of the Great Wilderness. Offending the Tianfeng clan and causing them to lose the Bikuang Hall means that not only will he be unable to stay in the Sword Gate, but he will probably find no place to reside even in the vast expanse of the Great Wilderness..."

The disciple of the upper house did not hesitate to summon this soul weapon, and within the soul weapon, countless sword lights surged through the sky, rushing towards Zhong Yue

Tian Fengshi

So fast?" Zhong Yue's heart skipped a beat as he saw that the soul weapon had already reached his brow

You must be curious as to why no Qi Refiners have come down these past few days to take you under their wing

Boom

Roar

A muffled sound echoed, causing Zhong Yue's body to sway slightly, and his left leg nearly buckled. At the same time, the force from the two totemic pillars pressed down, increasing the burden he bore even further

Zhong Yue, like a flash of electric light, sought to clarify the reasons behind the situation. The Tianfeng clan held considerable power within the Jianmen. The old Qi-refining master surnamed Tian controlled the Bikong Hall of the outer sect, which was equivalent to the Tianfeng clan controlling the upper courtyard of the outer sect, thereby providing convenience for the disciples of the Tianfeng clan

The sword light is clearly a sword formation, which should be a high-level attack method of the Sword Gate. Zhong Yue can only see a white expanse before him, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion

Zhong Yue swept his leg, and the disciples of the Tianfeng clan in the upper courtyard were filled with shock. They could see that a dragon-like body, formed by highly concentrated spiritual energy, was coiling around Zhong Yue's leg, making it appear extraordinarily robust and brimming with unimaginable explosive power

Is it Mr. Tian? The Tian Feng clan? Could it be that old examiner surnamed Tian from the Bi Kong Hall?

The disciple from the upper house was robust, with a body full of muscular bulges. Although he was only around fifteen or sixteen years old, he was as strong as a black bear. He launched a powerful kick that struck fiercely at Zhong Yue's knee, the force of his kick capable of shattering stone pillars and snapping trees in half.

The disciple of the Tianfeng clan was taken aback and hurriedly shouted. He saw the patterns on the two turtle mountain totem pillars becoming increasingly bright, and the ripples on the totem pillars undulated, forming two large mountains resembling turtles, pressing down on Zhongyue!

The power of these two totem pillars has been pushed to the limit by him, and he is determined to crush Zhong Yue

Currently, during the assessment at the Bikong Hall, Zhong Yue made Zuo Xiangsheng realize that he must take control of the Bikong Hall himself in order to provide a path for disciples from humble backgrounds. Therefore, he challenged the old examiner from the Tianfeng clan to seize power.

Dong!

It was as if something had exploded in Zhong Yue's mind, a surge of humiliation and defiance rising up in his heart

"Oh? The totem on my totemic pillar is the Turtle Mountain totem. Once activated, it exerts the power of the mountains. How can you still be standing?"

The Fire Era Palace's Huangguan Visualization Diagram is a method of cultivation, while the Jiao Long Totem Body Technique is a method of body refinement. Without a means of attack, it is equivalent to possessing great strength without the ability to unleash it.

Outside the Transmission Pavilion, numerous disciples from the upper house looked over, each shaking their heads in disapproval

After all, Zhong Yue has only just entered the upper academy, and his cultivation has merely reached the out-of-body stage, whereas the disciples of the upper academy have been practicing there for a long time, and their cultivation far surpasses that of Zhong Yue

The disciple from the upper house kneeling before him felt both shame and anger, struggling to rise, but suddenly let out a muffled groan and knelt down again

A series of crackling explosions emanated from within him, as his bones vibrated incessantly like popping beans. Waves of visible mental energy surged from his brow, forming a dense array of dragon scales, dragon claws, and a dragon body around him

Outside the Scripture Pavilion, the upper courtyard disciples who were watching the commotion were also staring blankly at this scene, utterly astonished. They had originally thought that Zhong Yue would inevitably be subjected to severe humiliation, kneeling in front of the Scripture Pavilion for several hours, and then leaving the Sword Gate in disgrace.

The dense and intricate sword light arrived before his eyes in the blink of an eye. Zhong Yue was surrounded by coiling dragons and leaped backward, retreating a distance of about five or six zhang.

Zhong Yue retracted his legs, shook the fur-lined jacket on his body, and looked up towards the quiet room of the Scripture Transmission Pavilion. The elderly man from the Tianfeng clan was also looking at him, his expression somber

Moreover, Zhong Yue has nothing, while the other party has the Gui Mountain totem pillar to restrain him, and there are two of them

Tian Fengshi

I see. Master Zuo is the most outstanding young Qi Refiner of the Sword Sect, receiving great esteem from many elders of the sect. The Tianfeng clan cannot touch him, but this junior of the Zhongshan clan has no background or support, and I fear he will suffer greatly being caught in the middle

Zhong Yue stood up completely, bearing the weight of two Turtle Mountains. His straw sandals were crushed under the pressure. Suddenly, he lifted his large foot and stomped heavily, causing the ground to shake violently. Two totem pillars of the Turtle Mountains were jolted up from the ground, and the ripples of the two Turtle Mountain totems shattered with a thunderous sound

This matter arose due to Zhong Yue, resulting in the Tianfeng clan losing control over the Bikong Hall, which will naturally provoke retaliation from the Tianfeng clan

This is the remarkable aspect of the inheritance of the Sword Gate. Although Zhong Yue has also cultivated to the realm of Soul Offering, and even achieved the manifestation of spiritual power that is visible to the naked eye, he has not practiced profound offensive techniques. When faced with such soul weapons and sword techniques, he finds himself unable to cope

Then the disciple from the upper academy kicked over and, seeing Zhong Yue still standing there, couldn't help but be surprised, exclaiming: "No wonder you were able to pass the assessment of the Azure Sky Hall solely based on your strength. However, you are only asking for trouble. If you were to kneel down in accordance with the situation, in front of the upper academy disciples, and kneel for a few hours in front of the Scripture Pavilion, this matter would be settled. My Tianfeng clan would not make things too difficult for you."

However, that disciple from the upper house was kicked away by Zhong Yue with a single kick

The disciple from the upper house delivered a fierce kick to Zhong Yue's right leg and laughed, "The higher-ups of the Tianfeng clan have not issued any orders preventing them from accepting you; it is their own unwillingness to take you in. This is because the Tianfeng clan ranks among the top ten great clans in the Great Wilderness! Offending the Tianfeng clan means that, without us needing to intervene, you will have no opportunity to rise again! Today, you only need to kneel here for a few hours, and then you can leave the Sword Gate on your own accord."
