The sword strike, with its nine layers of sharp and dazzling light, shattered Tang Ru's defensive barrier.

The subsequent blade of light continued to strike him.

The light from his protective magical artifact was completely extinguished.

The raging sword energy left Tang Ru with numerous sword wounds, and blood splattered continuously.

Tang Ru roared in pain.

"That's it? Pathetic!"

Guo Feng's strength has increased dramatically this time, and he broke through Tang Ru's suppression with a single backhand strike.

Then he slashed Tang Ru, leaving him severely wounded.

However, he did not stop.

Because this is a battle for survival!

So, almost the next moment, he raised the spirit blade in his hand and slashed at Tang Ru once again.

With his current strength, even if Tang Ru is already infinitely close to the sixth level of the ninth rank, he can still achieve great things.

He could also severely injure him with a single move.

Two moves later, he was left on the verge of death.

He killed him completely in just three moves!

"Guo Feng, stop!"

Just then, a figure, brimming with powerful and vigorous magical energy, rushed out from outside the Academy of Scholars.

This person was none other than the Empress's chief steward.

His roar was deafening.

A powerful divine sense also directly bombarded Guo Feng's brain, attempting to intimidate him.

"It's you again?!"

Just as Guo Feng was about to unleash another powerful attack on Tang Ru, the Grand Steward's formidable mental energy blasted towards him.

Fortunately, he cultivated the Great Dao Heart Refining Technique, making his mental strength powerful and resilient.

With a sudden boom, it felt like a nuclear explosion had occurred in my mind.

He was suddenly jolted.

However, he still managed to withstand it.

At this moment, the Grand Steward had already flown to the outside of the arena, condensing a large palm of Yin energy containing Yin thunder, which emitted a booming thunderous sound.

It was about to blast directly at Guo Feng!

"Grand Steward, what do you mean by this?"

At this moment, Marquis Shenwei's expression darkened, and with a casual wave of his hand, he unleashed a flying sword containing blazing flames.

It collided with that large, sinister hand.

The entire Academy of Scholars was suddenly jolted.

The ripples created a powerful storm that made everyone present sway.

Even the barrier outside the arena trembled violently.

However, the Grand Steward's fierce move was still neutralized by Marquis Shenwei.

The next moment, Marquis Shenwei arrived in front of the Grand Steward.

He was blocked.

"Marquis Shenwei, step aside! Tang Ru is the fifth true disciple of the Taiyi Sect. If this brat kills him, the Taiyi Sect will surely turn against the Empire. How can you bear the consequences?"

The chief steward roared.

Marquis Shenwei sneered: "Grand Steward, is it possible for the Taiyi Sect to kill others but not for others to kill members of the Taiyi Sect? Is this a legitimate order in the world? Is the Taiyi Sect the emperor, or is His Majesty the emperor?"

"Foolish!"

The head steward was furious. "Qiong Wu, get out of my way, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Hehe, Guo Feng, I didn't expect you to be this strong, but did you think I didn't have a backup plan?"

At this moment, just as the Grand Steward and Marquis Shenwei were facing off.

The severely injured Tang Ru had already gotten up. As he spoke, he took out a life-saving and restorative pill from his spatial storage, saying, "You want to kill me? That's wishful thinking!"

"Nineteenth Senior Brother, go all out and kill the Grand Steward! If I kill this Tang Ru, it's tantamount to rebellion! I'll take full responsibility for the consequences!"

As soon as Tang Ru finished speaking, Guo Feng let out a long roar, and the blade in his hand erupted once again.

"Oh no—"

Tang Ru was careless once again.

He thought everything would be fine once the chief steward arrived.

Unexpectedly, Guo Feng was incredibly audacious and completely disregarded the Grand Steward.

After a loud roar, the nine layers of sword light appeared once again.

Tang Ru was brutally beheaded once again!

Screams echoed from inside the arena.

"presumptuous!"

The chief steward, his eyes blazing with fury, roared and, disregarding everything, decided to kill Guo Feng!

Marquis Shenwei roared, "Grand Steward, how dare you!"

"Hu Lie, you eunuch, you've sided with the Three Imperial Uncles and the Taiyi Sect, and you dare to interfere in the affairs of the state? You're simply courting death!"

And almost at that instant, Qin Tian made his move!

Qin Tian had already recovered his strength last night.

He originally came only to protect Guo Feng.

Unexpectedly, they encountered the Grand Steward.

You should know that when he was imprisoned in the prison, the people who tortured him every day were the Grand Eunuch's men.

How could I not seek revenge for both old and new grudges?

Moreover, Guo Feng was the one who had to bear the consequences.

Without hesitation, he activated the Great Sumeru Fist Seal, unleashing a terrifying aura, and blasted towards the Grand Steward.

"Hu Lie, you truly deserve to die!"

At this moment, Marquis Shenwei was also furious. In recent years, his chief steward Hu Lie had interfered in various affairs.

They, along with the Three Kingdoms' brothers-in-law and the Taiyi Sect, acted tyrannically.

Even the Empress was almost entirely restrained and controlled by them.

He had long harbored anger.

At this moment, there is an additional variable like Guo Feng, and another opportunity.

As long as Hu Lie is killed instantly.

The Third Prince's brother-in-law couldn't save him in time!

Opportunity knocks but once, and this Marquis of Divine Might knew how to seize it.

so……

Everyone present at the Academy of Scholars was stunned.

They never imagined that coming here to participate in a contest for the emperor's son-in-law would lead to witnessing such a shocking political struggle.

However, they also understood.

This is a whirlpool; retreat as far as you can immediately!

In an instant, three enormous phantom spirits trampled through the space and emerged from the void, stirring up a terrifying aura and unleashing a world-destroying ultimate move.
