HCB Chapter 255 Eliminating Xie Xing!
Chapter 255 Eliminating Xie Xing!
The Lingqing Academy cultivators who thought they would follow him did not appear behind him, and Xie Xing looked at Jiang He with a face full of anger.
How could he not realize he had been ambushed!
When Xie Xing's move reached Jiang He, Jiang He was able to accurately predict the trajectory of Xie Xing's sword move based on her martial arts foundation. This time, she did not dodge. The wind spirit energy in Jiang He's hand increased sharply, and the wind spirit energy she gathered was no less than Xie Xing's.
When Xie Xing saw Jiang He's wind spirit power, his expression was so surprised that it became somewhat distorted.
At this moment, he had no time to spare for Jiang He, because Jiang He's sword moves and Helian Xueyue's magic were attacking him at the same time, and other cultivators from the Wanjue Academy had appeared beside him.
Although the water blade is formed from water elemental energy, and water is inherently gentle, Helian Xueyue's magic is not gentle at all.
Helian Xueyue had been hiding here for a long time. This powerful spell was a great move that she had unleashed after consuming most of her spiritual energy and chanting incantations for a long time.
If Xie Xing could dodge it so easily, then Helian Xueyue's six months of magic lessons would have been for nothing.
The combined pressure of sword techniques and magic was closing in on Xie Xing.
Xie Xing hurriedly blurted out only one sentence:
"What a prestigious academy of ten thousand scum! I'll make you pay a hundredfold for this ambush once I get out!"
Xie Xing wanted to dodge, but the sword move was fierce and the spell had a wide range, making it impossible to dodge!
Xie Xing had no choice but to quickly deploy his defenses.
He hoped that the wind resistance would reduce some of the damage, but how could these two parts of the damage be easily eliminated?
Xie Xing's defenses were useless, and even the only magic weapon he possessed was destroyed.
Xie Xing's defensive magic artifact was of high quality, which cushioned his injuries considerably. As soon as the two wounds subsided, Xie Xing coughed up a mouthful of blood. His clothes were already stained with torn flesh. He realized that the defensive magic artifact was broken and tried to run away.
Upon seeing this, Lanmu, who had always played a support role, immediately summoned the withered vine.
Lan Mu lacked practical combat experience in the academy, but during the academy competition, she had to bind both the scorpion killer and other academy cultivators. After consulting with Jiang He, she mastered the binding techniques to perfection.
She wouldn't let Xie Xing leave.
As Xie Xing faced a double attack, Jiang He gathered wind spiritual energy in her hands and used an even stronger wind to shatter the small whirlwind that Xie Xing had just gathered.
Jiang He looked up and saw that Xie Xing was tied up tightly, in the same way that Jiang He had tied up the Mad Wind Tiger at the beginning.
Jiang He felt inexplicably unable to bear looking at Xie Xing, who was tied up in mid-air.
Xie Xing thought he could escape, and he even tried to stall for time to trick Jiang He and the others with words:
"You eliminated me in today's university competition, but I will definitely make a comeback after the competition ends..."
Before Xie Xing could finish his threat, Jiang He switched his ordinary spiritual sword, which he used for practice, with a black iron sword and ended Xie Xing's life with a single strike.
Jiang He looked at Xie Xing, who had been eliminated, and gently parted her lips:
"Tsk tsk, it's already 6056 in interstellar space, who doesn't know the law that villains die from talking too much?"
Jiang He hadn't even finished cleaning her sword when she picked up the magical artifact Xie Xing had dropped and headed towards Shangguan Linghu.
Outside the forest, Zhong Hengshan, who had seen Xie Xing's name turn gray, smiled and looked at Huang Xi before speaking:
"Follow me into the forest. These cultivators from the Myriad Absolutes Academy are nothing but a rabble and not worth fearing."
After confirming Xie Xing's elimination, Zhong Hengshan immediately led the remaining Lingqing Academy cultivators into the forest.
After witnessing the entire clash between Wanjue Academy and Lingqing Academy and seeing Jiang He's team eliminate several Lingqing Academy cultivators in succession, not only were the Lingqing Academy cultivators in disbelief, but netizens were also shocked by Jiang He's ambush.
The initial sarcastic remarks quickly turned into expressions of surprise within fifteen minutes.
[Jiang He even fought Xie Xing, without even considering whether she was good enough. With her flawed moves, I could have done a better job than her.]
Does Jiang He even know swordsmanship? Isn't she a sword cultivator? How come she made mistakes even with basic sword moves when facing Xie Xing?
Doesn't anyone find it strange? Could Jiang He be hiding her true abilities, deliberately luring Xie Xing into the woods?
I don't think Xie Xing should have chased after them. It seemed like all the cultivators from the Myriad Absolute Academy had entered the woods; it felt like there was an ambush.
What's an ambush compared to absolute strength? Xie Xing's side has Nascent Soul cultivators, and even if they chase after them, look at how incompetent Jiang He is at commanding; the rest are even worse. Don't worry, Lingqing Academy is guaranteed to win.
Xie Xing's team is called "Flying Birds," and I even bet some Star Coins on them. It's unreasonable for them not to win.
Haha, that's true too.
Don't be too happy yet! There really are cultivators from the Myriad Absolutes Academy in the forest! Damn, Xie Xing ran ahead, but Ling Qing's men were all dragged away and killed by the Myriad Absolutes Academy cultivators.
What the heck?! The plot has taken a turn! When did the cultivators of Wanjue Academy become so powerful?!

After netizens discovered that the Lingqing Academy cultivators behind Xie Xing had been killed by the Wanjue Academy cultivators who were lying in ambush in the forest, the number of comments on the screen increased visibly. When Xie Xing was eliminated by Jiang He with a single sword strike, the public opinion about Wanjue Academy on the screen was instantly reversed.
[This isn't right. Holy crap, there really is an ambush. My impression of the Myriad Absolutes Academy's style of doing things is completely different this year. In previous years, I've never seen any Myriad Absolutes Academy cultivators use luring and ambushes; most of them just charge in and do their job.]
So Jiang He was this powerful from the start? Wasn't she supposed to be useless, not even as skilled in swordsmanship as Xie Xing? How did she manage to catch Xie Xing's ultimate move with her bare hands? And that dense wind spiritual energy... that's a mutated wind spiritual root, wow!
It really is a mutated wind spirit root. Who is Jiang He? Wasn't she supposed to have a useless spirit root? How can she have a wind spirit root?
I'm in a state of complete shock right now. Jiang He and Helian Xueyue just slit Xie Xing's throat? Isn't the elimination speed a bit too fast? Speaking of which, Jiang He doesn't seem to be that strong, does she?
This ambush was brilliant!
What's so exciting about this? Using such despicable means to ambush Ling Qing, there's not a shred of brilliance in it.
Ling Qing went too far. What do you mean by "dishonorable methods"? Isn't the Academy Competition all about individual ability? Xie Xing is a fool; isn't it normal for him to fall for a trap?
Wow, that's direct! The person upstairs is really something. Xie Xing is a member of the Xie family, watch your words!
What's there to be careful about? Stupid is stupid, that's a fact. Otherwise, how could he have fallen for the trap?
Zhong Hengshan has made his move! The outcome of this contest is truly uncertain. Haha, Zhong Hengshan has led Huang Xi into the forest! Now the Myriad Absolutes Academy is truly doomed. These are two Nascent Soul cultivators! I think Jiang He and his group are in deep trouble.
