Chapter 139 A belated challenge

The violent air waves carried the fierce sword energy and swept away in all directions. The crowd around them immediately retreated with a crash to avoid being accidentally injured.

Seeing the powerful waves surging in the middle of the square and the sword energy radiating out, Yang Zhongyi couldn't help but be speechless.

"As expected of a disciple of the Upper Academy, he is really strong!"

Su Nian nodded in agreement, his eyes fixed on the battle on the field.

The other disciples also looked intently focused.

It is not common for disciples of the Upper House to fight each other.

Even if it is a disciple-level challenge, not every time someone will challenge the disciples of the Upper House.

What's more, the battle in front of us is different from ordinary battles, it is a real life and death fight!

If they can get some insights from it, it will be a big gain for them.

In the crowd, Lin Shen's eyes flashed.

He can be said to be the calmest one among the disciples of the lower court present.

After all, he had expected this to happen.

It was just that the sect would postpone the attack for three months before suddenly launching an attack, which was somewhat beyond his expectation.

However, Lin Shen already had some vague guesses about this.

After taking over the Baihu Mountain Cave Mansion, the Yan family issued a recruitment task through Jiuyang Taoist Academy, which lasted for more than half a year.

During this period, a large number of disciples poured into Baihu Mountain.

If we want to annihilate the Yan family, how to avoid implicating these disciples is a problem.

If we rashly recall the disciples from White Tiger Mountain, we might be able to alert the enemy.

That’s why the sect’s senior leaders specifically chose this day to challenge the disciple level.

After all, on this day, all the disciples will return to Jiuyang Taoist Academy, which will inevitably make the Yan family suspicious.

However, Lin Shen vaguely felt that there might be more than just this reason.

After all, three months is a long time, and things will change if things are too late. The senior leaders of the sect will not fail to understand this truth.

With the character and actions of those high-ranking sect leaders, would they be willing to risk the Yan family's discovery and postpone the attack for the sake of the safety of a group of Taoist disciples?

The answer is obviously up for debate!

Lin Shen was more inclined to think that the sect's senior officials had other considerations.

Thinking more sinisterly, the reason why they delayed the attack was probably because they were planning to wait for the Yan family to open the underground spiritual cave before starting to harvest the fruit.

In this way, you can not only eliminate the traitors, but also get a fully opened spiritual cave, killing two birds with one stone!

"If this is really the case, then the Yan family was completely manipulated by applause, and even the bones were gnawed after they were eaten dry!"

Lin Shen clicked his tongue in his heart.

But this is just speculation after all.

Besides, even if it were true, it had nothing to do with him.

He would only be happy about what happened to the Yan family, but would not have any sympathy or mercy.

Just as Lin Shen's thoughts were racing, the battle on the field gradually became more intense.

Both sides of the battle were at the Mingqiao realm, and both were good at wielding swords. During the confrontation, the clanging of swords was heard endlessly, and the sword energy invaded from all directions. The cold air filled the air, and was occasionally mixed with magic techniques such as thunder in the palms. The sound was overwhelming.

In just a short moment, the area within 500 meters of the place where the two met was reduced to ruins, with broken stone slabs and a mess everywhere.

The disciples who were watching the battle retreated again and again, almost to the edge of the square before they could stop.

Many disciples were secretly stunned, horrified by the strength of Yan Jingren and Jiang Hao.

Several upper court disciples still stood where they were, unaffected by the aftermath of the battle.

Compared to the disciples in the lower courtyard, they had a clearer view of the situation on the field, and they all looked solemn.

"Looking at this situation, Yan Jingren has probably broken through to the fifth level of Mingqiao. Jiang Hao is no match for him!" Xie Jingsheng frowned.

Mu Chuanhua couldn't help but look surprised: "Is the spiritual acupoint so powerful? Yan Jingren was only at the third level of the Mingqiao half a year ago, and he actually broke through two realms in such a short period of time!"

After hearing this, the other upper court disciples' expressions changed in unison, and a fiery look flashed in their eyes.

If they could also enter the spiritual cave to practice, wouldn't they be able to make rapid progress in cultivation like Yan Jingren?

boom!

A thunderous roar suddenly came from the field!

The two blazing white thunder lights were annihilated when they collided. As the sky surged, Jiang Hao retreated seven or eight meters in a row. Only then did he release his strength and stop his body, looking at Yan Jingren in shock.

He never expected that Yan Jingren's cultivation level would improve so quickly after not seeing him for a few months, and he would reach the fifth level of Mingqiao just like him!

Without the suppression of his cultivation, he was no longer sure of defeating Yan Jingren with just his martial arts.

"hateful!"

Jiang Hao looked gloomy.

He really wanted to retreat, but he just boasted that Haikou wanted Yan Jingren to learn how powerful he was. If he just retreated like this, what prestige would he have in the Taoist temple in the future?

Thinking of this, Jiang Hao felt cruel in his heart.

"That's all. If I can get three golden marrow pills, it will be enough to make up for my losses!"

The battle situation was urgent and after making up his mind, Jiang Hao no longer hesitated and decisively took out a pill, raised his head and swallowed it.

Xie Jingsheng and others had good eyesight, and they immediately saw clearly the pill that Jiang Hao had swallowed, and they all showed surprise.

"Fierce Blood Pill!"

As we all know, there is no distinction between the yin and yang attributes of the five elements of true energy.

Only when martial arts or techniques are used will different attributes be displayed.

However, relying on some special elixirs, the true energy can be given certain attributes for a short period of time.

Fierce Blood Pill is one such special pill.

Within half an hour after taking the Fierce Blood Pill, the person's true energy will be temporarily transformed into Yang attribute energy, and the power of any Yang attribute martial arts or techniques will be greatly enhanced!

In a life-and-death fight, if used at the right time, the Blood Pill can be a trump card that can turn the tide of the battle!

For this reason, Fierce Blood Pill is very popular among many practitioners.

However, the Fierce Blood Pill is not easy to make. In terms of rarity, it is no less valuable than the Golden Marrow Pill, and is even vaguely better.

Even for disciples of the Upper Academy, it is not easy to get one.

You don't need to think about it to know that this fierce blood pill must be one of Jiang Hao's life-saving trump cards.

Using it at this time shows that Jiang Hao has begun to fight tooth and nail and is determined to kill Yan Jingren!

After taking the Fierce Blood Pill, Jiang Hao's skin suddenly turned visibly hot and red, and his body was emitting wisps of white smoke, making his whole body suddenly look more ferocious!

"Come again!"

Feeling the vigorous yang energy in his body, Jiang Hao's confidence greatly increased. He shouted fiercely and charged at Yan Jingren again. His first move was his signature martial arts.

In an instant, five red light clusters like the shining sun suddenly appeared, carrying countless sharp swords and rushing towards Yan Jingren overwhelmingly!

"The five suns come out together!"

There was a low cry from the surrounding crowd watching the battle.

Many disciples had expressions of amazement on their faces.

Although they don't know about the Fierce Blood Pill, they know the Nine Swords of Shenyang very well.

After looking through the entire Taoist academy, only Jiang Hao could display the Nine Swords of Shenyang to the point where all five suns came out at the same time!

Xie Jingsheng and others were also secretly surprised.

After he was defeated at the hands of the tiger demon in the Longyuan Mountains, Jiang Hao went into seclusion and practiced hard, and advanced to the next level with the Nine Swords of Shenyang.

But it can only be cultivated to the point where all four Yangs emerge together.

Now, with one thrust of the sword, the five Yangs rise simultaneously, which is obviously the result of the Fierce Blood Pill!

As soon as the five-round blazing sun came out, the entire square instantly became hot, as if you were in a volcano, and the heat was overwhelming!

Even others were like this, let alone Yan Jingren who faced this blow directly.

However, there was no trace of panic on his face. Instead, he sneered and calmly took out a small green tablet from his sleeve and said, "Go!"

The small green stele paused in the air, and in the blink of an eye, it expanded into a giant object about three feet in size, and hit the scorching sun head-on with a thunderous sonic boom!

The sword energy that was enough to crush gold and iron hit the giant monument, making a continuous ringing sound like gold and iron clashing, but it was unable to cause even the slightest damage to the giant monument!

Before Jiang Hao could react, the giant monument had already defeated the five-wheel radiant sun group and was crashing towards him!

Seeing this scene, Jiang Hao's expression suddenly changed, and he turned around to escape from the attack range of the giant monument.
