Looking at the radiant smile on Zi Yuan's face, Luo Feng felt a bit helpless. He shifted his glance to the side, his brow slightly furrowed.

The current situation for Zi Hongyuan and the others was extremely grim.

The deans of the four great academies and Luotian were the only five Heavenly Court Realm powerhouses on their side.

Among the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect, there were six nine-layer Heavenly Court Realm powerhouses!

Moreover, the martial arts of the Blood Demon Sect's martial artists were sinister and ruthless. Currently, the four great academies' side was firmly suppressed and facing grave danger.

He Qin, noticing Luo Feng's look, asked, "Luo Feng, what are you thinking?"

"If this continues, the deans and the others will be in great peril."

Upon hearing this, Zi Yuan's face turned serious as well, and she clenched her fists.

Zi Hongyuan was besieged by two nine-layer Heavenly Court Realm powerhouses, and his situation was precarious.

However, with her strength, she couldn't even withstand a single attack from a nine-layer Heavenly Court Realm powerhouse, let alone lend a hand.

Luo Feng observed for a moment and then proposed to He Qin, "Let's join forces and ambush one of the Blood Demon Sect masters!"

A single Heavenly Court Realm master could make a huge difference. Killing just one could completely change the tide of the battle.

He Qin's beautiful eyes flashed; she understood Luo Feng's intention, and she simply nodded and said, "Alright!"

"I want to go too," Zi Yuan hurriedly said.

Luo Feng shook his head, "A nine-layer Heavenly Court Realm master is no small fry. If too many people are involved, we might alert the enemy. Plus, your Splitting Sun Swordsmanship is not suitable for an ambush."

Zi Yuan knew that Luo Feng was right, but she could only nod reluctantly.

"Who are we going to ambush?"

He Qin stood by Luo Feng's side, her delicate nose glistening with sweat as she watched the fierce clashes in the arena. The idea of ambushing a nine-layer Heavenly Court Realm powerhouse was incredibly audacious. She had been startled when she first heard it.

Luo Feng's gaze swept over the engaged participants, and he quickly identified his target: the Blood Demon Sect disciple dueling with Luotian. Their duel was at the periphery of the square. This Blood Demon Sect disciple excelled in palm techniques, wielded no weapon, and his strength was comparable to Luotian's. The two were locked in a fierce, evenly matched battle.

"He's the one!"

Luo Feng and He Qin approached the area where the two were fighting. The Blood Demon Sect disciple had his back to them, and Luotian's pressure kept him from noticing anyone approaching. However, Luotian detected them. His onslaught immediately became fiercer, further drawing the Blood Demon Sect disciple's attention.

"Attack!"

When they were within a hundred steps of the Blood Demon Sect disciple, Luo Feng acted.

"Invisible Heavenly Sword!"

He Qin flicked her wrist, and the slender silver sword vanished into thin air. The Invisible Sword Technique excelled at sneak attacks, its sword qi invisible and elusive.

"Sky-Evoking Evil Qi!"

Sky-Evoking Evil Qi was the third form of the Sky Slayer Saber Technique. This move was highly effective against single enemies, possessing tremendous power. Infused with the Evil Qi of the Grand Momentum, it was truly unstoppable and incredibly formidable.

HUM!

The Tiger Soul Saber trembled slightly, slashing through the air. A domineering saber light, as imposing as a mountain and hidden behind the invisible sword qi, transformed into a black streak as it shot toward the Blood Demon Sect disciple in mid-air.

Just as the invisible sword qi approached, that Blood Demon Sect disciple immediately perceived it. With a cold snort, his Protective Gang Qi flared with a blood-red light.

SIZZLE, SIZZLE...

The invisible sword qi struck the Protective Gang Qi, merely causing ripples to spread across its surface. A scornful look appeared in the Blood Demon Sect disciple's eyes.

At that moment, the black saber light descended.

CRACK!

Space fluctuated violently. The Blood Demon Sect disciple's Protective Gang Energy was pierced, creating a small opening, and he stumbled.

"Mad Lion Furious Gang!"

Seizing the opportunity, Luotian's Gang Qi transformed into a lion shape and rushed toward the Blood Demon Sect disciple with a roar.

BOOM!

Attacked from both front and rear, the Blood Demon Sect disciple's Protective Gang Energy shattered. He violently spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and then let out a shrill roar.

"Damn it! Kid, I'll kill you!"

BOOM!

He slammed his palm downward. The blood-red palm shadow swelled as it descended, growing to the size of a house in an instant. Accompanied by the roar of wind and thunder, it crashed down violently. Everywhere it passed, the air friction caused it to boil, and the heat waves were overwhelming.

"Feng Er, be careful!"

Luotian hadn't expected the opponent to launch such a desperate counterattack. Unable to intervene in time to help Luo Feng, he could only vent his full fury on the Blood Demon Sect disciple, attacking with frenzied abandon.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...

The palm shadow swept down. The mere shockwave from its descent forced cracks to spread across the ground.

"He Qin, hold onto me," Luo Feng said in a deep voice.

"What?"

The Heavenly Fragrant Woman He Qin blinked in surprise but understood immediately. A faint blush appeared on her usually cool and flawless face. She knew this wasn't the time for coyness. She darted forward and wrapped her arms tightly around Luo Feng, her small frame completely shielded behind him.

He Qin exuded a unique, refreshing fragrance. However, Luo Feng was too preoccupied at that moment to appreciate the soft, warm, and fragrant woman behind him.

His brow furrowed in concentration. Luo Feng's Yuan Qi instantly began to boil, and a dragon-shaped phantom materialized, enveloping them both. The dragon-shaped phantom coiled, its head held high as if exhaling clouds and mist. Its emotionless eyes coldly surveyed the world, aloof and indifferent to all.

"Grand Momentum as Saber!"

Channeling his Teng Dragon's Gang Qi, Luo Feng gripped his saber tightly, mustered all his strength, and slashed upward. An immense black saber light surged to meet the attack head-on.

CLINK, CLINK, CLINK, CLINK, CLINK, CLINK...

The saber light, empowered by the Grand Momentum, brutally struck the Gang Qi palm, tearing open a fissure. The saber qi was consumed rapidly; it held for only an instant before being crushed.

BOOM!

The remaining force of the palm shadow slammed into the dragon-shaped phantom. With a deafening sound, the ground within a ten-zhang radius instantly sank several meters! Large cracks even extended toward the spectator stands, eliciting a wave of gasps.

"What a terrifying strike! This disciple from the Blood Demon Sect must have struck with suicidal determination!"

"Luo Feng and He Qin are probably doomed this time."

"Both are exceptionally talented geniuses, yet they might die here. What a pity…"

Watching the dust-filled square, many shook their heads.

Zi Hongyuan and Zhou Zhiyun wore extremely grim expressions. Luo Feng and He Qin were peerless geniuses. Losing such talents would be an immense loss to the Tianlan School!

BOOM!

Enraged, Luotian obliterated the injured Blood Demon Sect disciple with a powerful punch before darting toward the ground below.

"Feng Er!"

With a swing of his palm, he created a gust of wind that scattered the dust.

HUH!

A collective gasp rippled through the entire martial arts arena. As the dust cleared, two figures appeared.

He Qin stood embracing Luo Feng. The ground within a three-foot radius around them was perfectly intact!

He Qin's eyes opened slightly. As she glanced around, her delicate face turned pale.

He really blocked that strike.

Looking at the back of the young man before her, He Qin's usually cold eyes rippled with emotion. A complex light sparkled in the depths of her pupils.

"Are you alright?" Luo Feng turned to ask He Qin.

Startled from her reverie, He Qin quickly released her hold on Luo Feng. A faint blush spread across her cheeks as she shook her head, her voice soft as orchid-scented breath, "I'm fine."

Many Tianlan School students nearby watched this scene, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy, wishing they could take Luo Feng's place. He Qin possessed extraordinary strength and was also considered the foremost beauty of Tianlan School, admired by many male students. She usually focused solely on cultivation and always maintained a distant, aloof demeanor. Witnessing such a captivating expression from her now, many were so stunned they forgot to blink.

He Qin paid no attention to the gazes around her. Seeing Luo Feng's pallid complexion, her daimei furrowed slightly. She took out a green pill and handed it to Luo Feng.

"This is a Sky Clear Pill. It can help you quickly recover your depleted Yuan Qi."

Luo Feng nodded and took the pill. The pill was still warm from her touch. As Luo Feng swallowed it, a cool, refreshing energy coursed through his internal organs, and vitality gradually returned to his depleted meridians.

Seeing some color return to Luo Feng's face and his condition stabilize, He Qin relaxed slightly. Looking at the terrifying cracks nearby, a trace of lingering shock in her eyes, she said slowly, "I never imagined you could actually block that palm strike. I thought we were doomed."

Luo Feng just smiled faintly and said, "He was severely injured; his strength was greatly reduced."

A desperate, life-or-death counterattack from a nine-layer Heavenly Court Realm expert was no small matter. Luo Feng himself hadn't expected to emerge completely unscathed.

While they conversed, a drastic change occurred on the battlefield.

Seeing Luo Feng was safe, Luotian felt relieved and immediately rushed to assist Zi Hongyuan.

With the Blood Demon Sect having lost one nine-layer Heavenly Court Realm expert, the tide of battle instantly reversed. It was a chain reaction; in a short time, three more of their Heavenly Court Realm experts were killed!

"Only Xue Jiuyou and two other Heavenly Court Realm experts from the Blood Demon Sect remained. The overall situation was decided!"

"Xue Jiuyou was probably furious enough to vomit blood. Not a single one of the Four Great New Talents had died, yet the Blood Demon Sect had lost so many experts. This was a massive loss for them!"

"This was all thanks to Luo Feng. He actually managed to influence the battle between nine-layer Heavenly Court Realm experts, even blocking a desperate, life-or-death blow unscathed! If he hadn't created the opportunity to kill one of the Blood Demon Sect's Heavenly Court Realm experts, the battle wouldn't have tilted in favor of the four great academies."

"Absolutely, he single-handedly turned the tide! Terrifying!"

The surrounding heroes of the martial world who hadn't left yet noticed the turn of events and began to discuss them animatedly. Looking at Luo Feng, they were filled with awe and reverence.

"Luo Feng, you've made a name for yourself this time. Not only did you save my life, but Tianlan School also owes you a great favor," said He Qin, smiling at Luo Feng, her clear voice like a refreshing spring breeze.

Luo Feng shook his head and glanced towards the sky, his expression not relaxing in the slightest.

"It's too early to say that. As long as Xue Jiuyou isn't dead, anything can happen."

At Luo Feng's words, He Qin nodded.

While they were talking, an abrupt change occurred.

WHOOSH!

In mid-air, Xue Jiuyou, who was entangled in a fight with Zhou Zhiyun and Su Xiaokang, suddenly retreated rapidly.

His narrow eyes glanced down. When Xue Jiuyou saw the corpses of the Blood Demon Sect disciples in the square below, an overwhelming murderous aura emanated from him, so potent it made his clothes flutter.

"Xue Jiuyou, your cause is lost! I advise you to surrender!" Azure Cloud Flying Dragon Su Xiaokang gazed at Xue Jiuyou. His face still wore a faint smile, but his murderous intent was undisguised.

"HAHAHAHA… You want me to surrender? Wishful thinking!" Xue Jiuyou suddenly threw his head back and laughed, his deep laughter echoing continuously across the square. He pointed at them and said, "Do you really think that just the few of you can defeat me, Xue Jiuyou?"

As his laughter resounded, the blood-red light around Xue Jiuyou grew increasingly blinding. Half the sky gradually became suffused with a terrifying blood-red color, from which echoed the wails of ghosts and howls of wolves. A pungent, metallic stench of blood faintly permeated the air, chilling one to the bone.

Xue Jiuyou stood amidst the churning blood-red clouds, a savage sneer on his face. His icy gaze swept over the crowd below as he declared:

"Ignorant fools! Let's see which of you can withstand my Ten Thousand Illusion Blood Art!"
