"Gentian, blood thorn!"
"Dragon Heart, Blood Shield!" Beside him, Long Dan and Long Xin also made similar hand gestures, and the same bloody spear and sturdy shield appeared in their hands respectively.
Although Ning Yangshuo did not have the same special hand-to-hand skills as them, his strength was greatly improved by relying on the blood sacrifice technique. The murderous intent that he had honed since he was a child in the army was even stronger than Longya and the others.
"Kill!" With wild roars, several people attacked Jing Jianjue and others who were trapped in the cage of heaven and earth.
Jing Jianjue gritted his teeth and slowly slashed out with his sword again.
"Crack!" With a crisp sound, the cage of heaven and earth was broken again, and the following sword beams once again pushed Longya and his men back.
However, it was obvious that Jing Jianjue was struggling to strike out with this sword, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The cage of heaven and earth was broken, and Yue Fanchen spat out blood again, but did not stop for a moment, "Heaven and earth, cage!" As the hand seal was made, the power of heaven and earth condensed again, shackled on Jing Jianjue and others.
"Dragon Tooth, Blood Blade!" The Dragon Tooth man roared again and attacked forward.
Although the sword was integrated into their bodies and the power of their energy was brought to its extreme, every fight also brought a greater impact to their meridians and internal organs, and even caused wounds on their bodies and blood gushed out.
"Crack!" The cage of heaven and earth was broken again, and Longya and others were shocked and flew back again.
Yue Fanchen's body was burning with blood-red flames, his hands were constantly shaking, and his face was an unusually bright red. Obviously, the continuous use of the blood sacrifice technique had burned his potential to the limit, but he did not hesitate at all and made another hand seal.
Longya and his men ignored their injuries and attacked again, but every step they took left a trail of blood-red footprints.
At some point, Yue Fanchen's chest was soaked with blood, and his feet were also stained with blood.
However, their gazes are still so determined, and their figures are so tragic.
The entire arena fell into a deathly silence. No one knew why they were fighting so desperately. Everyone could see that even if they resorted to blood sacrifice to forcibly increase their strength at all costs, they had no chance of winning. Even if a miracle happened and they managed to defeat their opponents, they would definitely not be able to participate in the final decisive battle.
Mu Hanyan clenched her fists, tears welling in her eyes.
A flash of light and shadow appeared before his eyes, and the cage of heaven and earth was broken again. However, this time, Jing Jianjue seemed to have reached his limit, and his movements were obviously much slower than before. At the moment when the cage of heaven and earth was broken, Longya and his men had already attacked in front of him, and the thick blood-red light instantly enveloped Jing Jianjue.
"Looking for death!" With a roar, Qin Ba and others behind Jing Jianjue took a step forward at the same time, and the sword light flashed like thunder, chopped Long Ya and others away again.
Longya and his men had fought fiercely for many times and were already at the end of their strength. They were knocked off the stage by a single sword.
There was a cry of surprise from the audience, but Mu Hanyan's eyes suddenly shrank. The power of Qin Ba and others' sword was obviously much weaker than before. If Long Ya and others were not exhausted, they would not be hurt by such sword power.
Not only Qin Ba and others, but even Jing Jianjue's aura dropped sharply, returning to his original level of an eighth-level swordsman.
Mu Hanyan's gaze swept over several people one by one, and the mystery in her heart was gradually solved.
"Hahahaha, so that's how it is." Yue Fanchen's relieved laughter was heard on the stage.
As he laughed, Yue Fanchen's body shook and he slowly fell to the stage.
Among the few people, he suffered the greatest loss. After continuously performing the blood sacrifice technique, even his vitality disappeared rapidly.
Mu Hanyan rushed forward, caught Yue Fanchen, then gave him a pill and used her internal energy to help him refine the pill's power.
The power of the pill took effect, and Yue Fanchen slowly opened his eyes. The first thing that caught his eye was Mu Hanyan's anxious face.
"Do you understand?" Yue Fanchen forced a smile and asked Mu Hanyan.
Mu Hanyan couldn't help but burst into tears.
Just when Yue Fanchen used the blood sacrifice technique to forcibly increase his strength and fight Jing Jianjue to the death, she had already guessed that Yue Fanchen did this not to win, but to force Jing Jianjue to reveal his flaws so that she could find the secret of their increased strength. Only in this way could she defeat Jing Jianjue. Otherwise, with the strength of her and Hua Yue and others, it would be impossible for them to defeat Jing Jianjue and others whose strength had increased exponentially.
"Yeah, I understand." Mu Hanyan said with a sob.
Although Jing Jianjue and others finally defeated Yue Fanchen and Longya, they were exhausted by Yue Fanchen and others' repeated desperate battles and were finally beaten back to their original form. Their strength gradually declined to their original level, and many secrets that they tried hard to conceal were also exposed to Mu Hanyan's keen six senses.
Mu Hanyan clearly felt that they faintly revealed the aura of some kind of magical weapon, but it was completely different from the magical weapons of the Holy Court Continent, but extremely similar to the aura of the Demon-Breaking Spear on Hua Yue's body. It was precisely because of this reason, coupled with the efforts of several people to conceal it, that she failed to discover it before.
Mu Hanyan was almost certain they were carrying artifacts originally belonging to the Temple. However, a single artifact alone wouldn't have significantly boosted their strength, especially given the physical abilities of Saint Court practitioners, who struggled to use Temple artifacts. Upon closer inspection, Mu Hanyan discovered a subtle connection between the Qi fluctuations of the individuals.
Sword formation! Feeling their energy fluctuations, Mu Hanyan had a flash of inspiration in her mind. It was with the help of the strange sword formation that they were able to activate the temple artifact and borrow the power within to forcibly increase their strength.
"That's good, I'm fine. Put me down first. It's always uncles who hold their nieces, not nieces who hold their uncles. It will be so embarrassing if it gets out." Yue Fanchen nodded with relief, but the next words made Mu Hanyan want to throw him to the ground immediately.
Two girls in sword robes came up to him and took Yue Fanchen from Mu Hanyan. They were the maids beside his grandmother.
Mu Hanyan looked up at her grandmother and saw the tears flashing in her grandmother's eyes.
Mu Hanyan's heart ached, and she suddenly understood what her grandmother had meant by what she had said last night. Of course, her grandmother also knew that Jing Jianjue would not easily reveal his flaws. Her words weren't just to reassure her, but she had already agreed with Yue Fanchen to force Jing Jianjue to reveal his flaws at all costs.
Looking at her smiling grandmother on the viewing platform, and then at Yue Fanchen, who was lying in the maid's arms, swinging his arms weakly, Mu Hanyan wiped her eyes, her heart filled with fighting spirit! Putting aside the Nine Netherworld Prison, putting aside the great catastrophe of heaven and earth, even if it was just for the sake of the Yue family, she would never let Jing Jianjue get the Destiny Star Plate.
In this Jianyin Academy competition, she must win the final victory!!!
