Seeing that Mo Shisheng had eaten the beast core, Shangguan Qi became even more frantic, drawing his longsword and thrusting it at Mo Shisheng with even greater force.
As soon as she swallowed the beast core, she felt a burning sensation in her abdomen. Mo Shisheng's strength was not enough to withstand the power brought by the cyan beast core, and she immediately curled up in pain and collapsed to the ground.
"This is a meteorite jade chain. You can use this to let me know if there's any danger..."
In the blink of an eye, as Mo Shisheng collapsed, she suddenly recalled those words from that devilishly handsome man.
Seeing that Shangguan Qi's longsword was about to pierce her heart, Mo Shisheng slowly channeled strands of her cultivation into the meteorite jade chain.
The moon-shaped pendant made of white jade emitted a dim light. At the very moment the meteorite chain glowed, Shangguan Qi thrust his sword, imbued with all his cultivation, towards the ground where Mo Shisheng lay!
"boom--"
After a loud explosion, dust billowed up, obscuring everyone's vision.
Everyone stood still, fearing something might happen, and held their breath to observe their surroundings.
Even Bai Hehan and Su Xi's fight stopped. After a long, scorching heat, the dust in the air slowly settled down once everything calmed down…
In the hazy grayness, a figure could be vaguely seen, and the crowd was silent.
Of the two, only one remained. Shangguan Qi, who had directly advanced to the Nascent Soul stage after consuming the Nascent Soul Pill, faced off against Shangguan Yan, who was at the second stage of Qi Refining. The answer was self-evident...
"Is...is Shangguan Yan dead?"
In the midst of a silent atmosphere, someone whispered the result, but the response remained silent.
The silence was almost suffocatingly oppressive; after all, such a thing happened so unexpectedly that everyone was caught off guard…
"Impossible!" Shangguan Xue couldn't hold back any longer, her fists clenched tightly. "Yan'er is so powerful, she couldn't possibly be dead!"
Shangguan Xue's words didn't have much impact; everyone just listened to them without taking them seriously.
At this moment, Su Xi sneered and slowly walked a few steps to stand in front of Shangguan Xue. She was tall and slender, able to look down on Shangguan Xue. "Things have come to this. Shangguan Qi and Shangguan Yan are both in training. Neither of them crushed the spirit stone. Their death is their own decision."
"Su Xi, you are not fit to be a mentor at all!"
Shangguan Xue was in a low mood. After hearing Su Xi's words, she was so angry that she wanted to rush up and slap Su Xi twice, but was held down by Shangguan Ying beside her.
Shangguan Ying spoke calmly, "My sister Shangguan Xue is ignorant, please don't take it to heart, Instructor Su Xi."
"Heh, I thought everyone in the Shangguan family was brainless, but I didn't expect there to be one who understands the bigger picture."
Su Xi glanced at Shangguan Ying with disdain, and her expression twisted slightly when she saw Shangguan Ying's beautiful face. "Shangguan Qi used poison, which is a major taboo of Jialuo Academy. She will be expelled. Shangguan Yan died during her training, which has nothing to do with Jialuo Academy!"
After Su Xi finished speaking, everyone saw the figure in the mist slowly stand up.
The figure was slender and tall, slowly walking towards them. Each step was languid and light, yet it seemed to carry a powerful aura, like a king arriving, looking down with disdain!
"What if it was Shangguan Qi who died, and Shangguan Yan who lived? How would that be?"
