C168 Heroism

"Sima Heng, why is Ou Shaoqun in the Wilderness?"

The herald's eyes were like sharp blades as they stared at Sima Zong.

"Instructor, I really didn't know about this matter. It seems like I was looking for some sort of treasure." Junior Ou didn't say anything, so I can't ask too much. "

Sima Xian paused for a moment, then looked at Li Yi. "I heard that Junior Brother Li Yi also went there at that time. Maybe Junior Brother Li Yi knows something. Instructor, you can ask Junior Brother Li."

Damn you!

Li Yi cursed in his heart, but he could not speak the truth because he did not have any evidence.

Facing the questioning gazes of the teachers and the crowd, Li Yi could only answer in the same way as Sima Heng, "I don't know Senior Brother Ou, nor do I know why he went to the Wilderness. As for me, it's only because I had some insights when I was trying to enter the tower, so I went to the Wilderness to find some demonic beasts to verify my strength. "I think there should be no problem with that, right?"

Li Yi's answer didn't have any loopholes. Only Dugu Ming, Ji Yao, and Sima Heng knew that Li Yi wasn't telling the truth.

Because he had returned in a hurry, Li Yi didn't have the time to tell Dugu Ming and Ji Yao about what had happened in the Wilderness. However, this didn't stop them from making rational speculations.

In all likelihood, the death of Ou Shaoqun was related to Li Yi, and Ou Shaoqun was Sima Heng's loyal follower, so it wasn't hard to guess that it should be Sima Heng who sent Ou Shaoqun to the Wilderness to deal with Li Yi, but instead was killed by Li Yi.

This kind of thing couldn't be revealed. Sima Cheng didn't want the matter of him sending Ou Shaoqun to deal with Li Yi to be leaked, and Li Yi also didn't want others to know that Ou Shaoqun's death was related to him.

"Alright, that's enough about Ou Shaoqun! "The path to becoming an Immortal is filled with thorns, and death is a common occurrence when one is unable to accomplish it in the middle, so there's no need to pursue this matter further!"

Seeing that he couldn't figure it out, the director had no choice but to give up. Since he was already dead, there was still something more important.

"Since Ou Shaoqun has fallen, then Li Yi will directly advance and become the tenth ranked disciple of the inner courtyard. Li Yi, do you still want to continue your challenge? "

"Of course, I'll continue!"

"Alright, let the Challenger League continue!" Li Yi, who is ranked tenth in the inner courtyard, will fight against Situ De Cao, who is ranked ninth in the inner courtyard! "

Situ De Cao was a sword cultivator. His cultivation was at the late stage of Body Fusion and had yet to reach the great circle of the late stage of Body Fusion. However, the pressure he gave Li Yi was not small, making him feel as if he was facing Chen Fangfang all those years ago.

As a sword cultivator, Situ De Cao had the same arrogance as the other sword cultivators. He was also the only one in the top ten who was not controlled by Sima Cheng.

"Moon Shattering Meteor!"

Swordsman were known for their fierce attacks, not to mention that Situ De Cao's first move was his ultimate move.

The sword Qi moved horizontally, turning into shooting stars, smashing towards Li Yi with incomparable power.

"Sword Qi Manifestation, interesting! Since you use the sword, I will also use the sword to deal with you! "

Looking at the Swordqi shooting stars that covered the sky, Li Yi's eyes surged with fighting spirit. He extended his right hand and the Four Great Divine Punisher Blade appeared in his hand.

"Wanxiang Origin Sword, rise!"

"A sword strike to sever the soul!"

"One sword shatter reincarnation!"

"Sky Piercing Sword!"

Weng! * The four Divine Punishers let out a crisp sword hum. A silver white greatsword appeared out of nowhere, shattering the heavens and earth. It pierced towards the Sword Qi Meteor Shower, crushing the Six Paths of Samsara.

"Myriad Manifestation Convergence, One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Arts, Swift!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The giant silver sword also became smaller and smaller. When the Sword Qi meteors that filled the sky disappeared, the huge silver sword was already the size of the Four Great Divine Punisher Blade. However, it still continued to stab at Situ De Cao with an aura that could destroy everything.

"I admit defeat!"

Right when the huge silver sword, no, right now it should be said that the silver sword was about to pierce Sima De Cao, Situ De Cao's indifferent voice suddenly rang out.

The silver sword stopped as it broke apart. Li Yi looked at Situ De Cao who was completely unharmed and completely unexhausted. He curiously asked, "Senior Situ, the outcome hasn't been decided yet. Why did you admit defeat?"

"There's no need to compete anymore!"

Situ De Cao's voice was still calm as he said, "[Shattered Moon Meteor] is my strongest move. I don't have any stronger moves to deal with you. Junior Brother Li, you are not a sword cultivator, but your cultivation in the way of the sword far surpasses mine. This is something that I admire a lot! "

Glancing deeply at Li Yi, Situ De Cao suddenly clasped his fists and said, "Chief Li, Sima De has asked to join the [Heaven Breaking Union]. I wonder if Chief Li is willing to accept it?"

Li Yi blanked out for a moment before rejoicing. A talented person like Situ De Cao with an innocent identity and powerful strength was exactly what [Heaven Breaking Union] needed. Furthermore, Situ De Cao had an upright temperament and was very similar to Chen Fang.

"Yes, of course I'm willing. Brother Situ, I would be happy if you could come!"

Li Yi walked up to Situ De Cao and extended his right hand towards him. "Brother Situ, welcome to Heaven Breaker Union. From today onwards, you will be the Sword Pavilion Master of Heaven Breaker Union!"

"Pah!"

Situ De Cao also stretched out his right hand, and the two of them clashed. Then they tightly held each other and laughed.

"Damn it, Situ De, this thing that doesn't know good from bad. How many times have I recruited him, he always uses his sword arts as an excuse to avoid me, and now he actually took the initiative to go over to that brat Li Yi. How preposterous is this!"

The scene that happened on the battling platform could be regarded by everyone as an excellent drama of heroes cherishing heroes. However, in the eyes of Sima Heng, it was a naked face-smacking.

As a sword cultivator, as well as being ranked ninth in the inner courtyard, Situ De Cao had always been trying his best to win over Sima Heng. But every time, Situ De Cao would make an excuse that he excelled in the way of the sword and would always reject him.

In fact, Situ De Cao had always been a loner, rarely interacting with others and never joining any organization. Therefore, Sima Cheng didn't pay too much attention to his rejection.

But now, Situ De Cao had actually taken the initiative to join Li Yi's [Heaven Breaking Alliance]. This was clearly showing that he looked down on Sima Heng and wanted to oppose him!

"This bastard, how dare he look down on me in such a way!" Once I cripple Li Yi, I will definitely teach you a good lesson! "

Sima Xian's face was gloomy as he glared hatefully at Situ Zong. If one were to talk about the person he hated the most right now, other than Li Yi, Situ De Cao would definitely be ranked first.

"Challenge successful!" Li Yi and Situ De's ranks were swapped! Li Yi, do you still want to continue your challenge? "

"Of course!"

Situ De Cao had already admitted defeat, so the herald announced the results. Following his usual routine, he continued with the next match.

In the next five rounds, the opponents were all from Sima Xian's faction. Strangely, although they appeared to be using all their strength to block Li Yi's advance, Li Yi knew that these guys were just acting.

The moves that seemed to be extremely powerful were all just a bunch of flowery scrolls that looked ineffectual at first glance, but were immediately scattered upon contact. They did not consume any of Li Yi's strength, and after crazily attacking, these six fellows all pretended to be out of breath, losing a lot of true essence, and chose to admit defeat.

It was one thing for them to be like this, but since the five of them were like this, Li Yi naturally saw through it.

He knew that he was no match for him, so he decided to not offend him. Since he would not be able to make him suspect anything, he gave a personal favor to Li Yi.

"These guys are all intelligent. How crafty!"

Li Yi snickered in his heart, "But this is good too, it saved me a lot of effort!"

"Continue the challenge!" Li Yi will fight against Jiang Qing, who is ranked third in the inner courtyard! "

Before Li Yi appeared, in the inner courtyard, other than Sima Heng, he was the strongest. He was also the same as Ou Shaoqun; they were both loyal to him.

"Li Yi, don't think you're invincible just because you won against those trash in front of you! Today, I will let you see what true strength is! "

As soon as he entered the arena, Jiang Qing stared coldly at Li Yi. His tone was ice-cold and full of ridicule.

"If your mouth is the only powerful one, then I want to see if you can defeat me with just that mouth of yours!"

Glancing lightly at Jiang Qing, Li Yi's attitude was not one of anger or anger, but it was precisely this kind of nonchalant attitude that Jiang Qing viewed with naked contempt.

"Brat, you have to pay the price for your arrogance!"

"Bloody Hand Shrouding the Heavens!"

A big hand filled with the thick smell of blood appeared on the battling platform and mercilessly smacked down at Li Yi with the power to cover the sky.

"What a strong smell of blood!" How many people did this guy kill? "

Feeling the thick smell of blood and the murderous aura from the blood-red hand, Li Yi could not suppress the anger from the bottom of his heart.

Obviously, Jiang Qing practiced a cultivation method and a secret technique that used blood as the main method of attack. This kind of cultivation method had a similar characteristic, and that was to use slaughter and human life to accumulate. The more people one killed, the more blood one absorbed, and the more power one would have.

Judging from the size of the bloody palm and the great power contained within, there were no small number of people who had died at Jiang Qing's hands, and this was definitely not all the enemies. There were definitely many innocent people, and Li Yi could even be sure that Jiang Qing had slaughtered many ordinary people just to cultivate.

"Myriad Manifestation Heaven Breaking Fist!"

After shattering the bloody palm, Li Yi coldly looked at Jiang Qing who had a horrified expression and said in a deep voice, "How many people did you kill to cultivate this martial art?" Are there any innocent mortals among them? "

"What a joke, what does my cultivation technique have to do with you!"

Calming himself down, Jiang Qing retorted, "Besides, those ant-like mortals have the utmost honor to sacrifice their lives for me!"
