Lan Xuanyu’s vision was slightly blurry. At this moment, the numbness was going away, and the pain was starting to come over him. Thankfully, this was the stimulated world, and the sensation of pain was much lower than in the real world. Otherwise, he would be in so much pain that he would have fainted.
He bit the tip of his tongue and kept himself awake. He relied on the strong Spiritual Power of the Spirit Sea realm and forced his consciousness into the gold-and-silver vortex in his chest, pushing the vortex to rotate.
In fact, if it hadn’t been for his amazing physical strength, he would have been exterminated under that explosive force of Bing Tianliang’s fourth Martial Skill.
A tinge of coolness traveled from the silver bloodline and spread through his limbs from his chest. The gold bloodline was beating lightly and gave off some heat, pushing the blood through his body.
One was cool, while the other was warm; they enhanced one another’s beauty, and the pain lessened substantially.
It was also at this moment that the other five people from Ling Tian Academy rushed over. They hadn’t seen Lan Xuanyu who was on the ground and were all distracted by the 3,000-year Gold Silk Ape. They pounced on it immediately and joined in the fight.
“Get one person to check whether that chap is dead or not.” Bing Tianliang said coldly as thunderbolts kept shooting from his body towards the Gold Silk Ape.
He didn’t see the white light appear and only saw Lan Xuanyu sent flying from the explosion. At this moment, he had already gradually calmed down. Things had already happened. Liang Shushi had already left the qualifier, so there was no point in fuming. Under a situation like that, there was only one way to let Liang Shushi pass the qualifier! And that was to kill all the opponents still in the qualifier. If they were the last two teams left, then it would be sufficient for Liang Shushi’s team to pass even with half of the points they had accumulated just now.
And the person who murdered Liang Shushi must die!
The fastest agility-type Soul Master among the five people immediately sprinted towards Lan Xuanyu. Lan Xuanyu’s tree was still on fire, and the target was simply too obvious.
He was grumbling in his heart as well. Although his body’s ability to recover was very strong, it was impossible for him to recover his battle strength in such a short amount of time!
No matter how smart he was, there was no way out this time. He sent Qian Lei and Liu Feng out to do something else, and he wasn’t sure when they would be back. Also, the scene before him was somewhat out of control already. Bing Tianliang was really too strong; his speed and explosive power didn’t seem like what a person of their age would possess. Even if Qian Lei and Liu Feng rushed back, it was very hard to say whether his plan could still go on. On the contrary, he didn’t really want them to rush back now. The points that they got from Liang Shushi’s team was enough to let them pass the qualifier. Qian Lei and Liu Feng only needed to hide.
The only thing that upset Lan Xuanyu was that when the Gold Silk Ape was surrounded and attacked by those from Ling Tian Academy, even with its Stare ability, it was very hard for it to escape.
“He’s not dead! I’ll send you on your way, then.” That Ling Tian Academy Soul Master had arrived and obviously saw Lan Xuanyu lying on the ground, not moving.
If one died in the qualifier, he or she would turn into white light and disappear; so, if he was still lying there, it naturally meant that he wasn’t dead yet.
He wasn’t hesitant at all and leaped up. The lightray in his hand flashed and a silvery-white dagger appeared. The silver light was flashing as he stuck it straight into Lan Xuanyu’s heart.
Lan Xuanyu was praying in his heart that Liu Feng and Qian Lei wouldn’t forget his instructions — if they noticed something off about the situation here, run far away. As long as one out of the three of them survived until the end, then it would be considered a win for them especially if two of them could get Niu Yiwei’s points.
The gold and silver bloodlines in his body were still moving and recovering his injuries, but it was too late.
Lan Xuanyu tried his best to lift his hand and instinctively used his palm to block his chest. This was also the only thing he could do.
The silver ray of light pierced through; Lan Xuanyu closed his eyes. The qualifier is over!
“Ding!”
Just at this moment, a crisp and bright sound echoed. Lan Xuanyu only felt like his entire body was trembling violently and that bright sound appeared to come from ancient times. A kind of primitive iceness immediately burst forth.
It was also this bright sound at the other side of the battlefield that had everyone — including Bing Tianliang and the Gold Silk Ape — stop moving and distracted by this sound.
Dark blue color — that was a shade of serene forest dark blue!
It rose up without a sound, and the gigantic blade went through the figure that was descending from the sky and turned him into white light.
That was a dark blue Double Crescent Halberd. The gigantic blade erected and gave out an iciness that caused Lan Xuanyu’s pain from the electric shock to lessen.
The tail of the halberd was thrust into the ground next to Lan Xuanyu and his palm was touching that halberd.
This… what is this…
Lan Xuanyu was stunned, too.
A horrifying aura that appeared to come from the source filled the entire place and everyone froze, including Lan Xuanyu himself. That horrifying aura seemed like it could swallow the entire world whole and caused heaven and earth to tremble violently. It was as if this side of the world was unable to undertake its presence anymore.
It was closest to Lan Xuanyu, so he could see it the clearest. The body of that Double Crescent Halberd was black, but there were magic patterns on it. The magic patterns were complex and beautiful; he wasn’t sure how they were made. They were filled with a blue halo that was still spreading outwards a moment ago.
Why do these magic patterns look so familiar?
While Lan Xuanyu was feeling suspicious, that gigantic Double Crescent Halberd had retracted its light and became a big black halberd. Then, it turned into a ray of light that flowed into Lan Xuanyu’s right thumb and disappeared!
Lan Xuanyu raised his arm instinctively and to his surprise, he realized that his body could move a little already. On his finger, he saw that ring that he had worn since he was born — the ring that cannot be taken off.
Yes, that was the dark blue ring.
At this moment, he suddenly understood what actually happened. It seemed like when that Ling Tian Academy student attacked, he lifted his hand instinctively to block; but that silver dagger was coincidentally in this ring on his finger, which was why that happened.
This ring of his that he had since he was born actually could turn into a Double Crescent Halberd? Also, that wasn’t an ordinary halberd! Where did it come from, and what were its characteristics? With his current ability, he didn’t appear to be able to master all these.
Lan Xuanyu was somewhat taken aback with a heart full of doubts.
He wasn’t the only one who was shocked. The 3,000-year Gold Silk Ape’s giant body was trembling, while the hearts of Bing Tianliang and the other five Ling Tian Academy students were beating hard — all because of that Double Crescent Halberd that appeared for a few moments.
What was that? Bing Tianliang was struck dumb with amazement. He didn’t expect that Lan Xuanyu would have a trump card like that and killed his teammate in a second. This strong presence was not what he wanted to face.
Thankfully, that aura came and went away very quickly. The Gold Silk Ape turned around and looked at Lan Xuanyu. In those gold eyes, it appeared like there was something more to them. In the next instant, it pounced towards Bing Tianliang once again. Its golden hair spurt out and numerous Gold Silk Rays shot out. It not only covered Bing Tianliang; it also enveloped the other four people and appeared to be exerting all its strength. As it let out its explosive power, it used all its strength to block those five people.
“Xuanyu, Xuanyu.” Just then, at the back of the tree behind Lan Xuanyu, there was a familiar voice. Lan Xuanyu tried his best to turn around and saw Qian Lei peeking out cautiously.
