Looking at the constantly bowing Dao Lengtian, Aotian remained indifferent, with no hint of emotion in his eyes. This calm demeanor only intensified the unease in Dao Lengtian's heart.
Suddenly, a vicious thought surged in Dao Lengtian's mind. Seeing Aotian's expression, he knew he would not be spared. In that case, it would be better to perish together! It would also eliminate a major enemy for the Azure Cloud Sect!
With this thought, the madness in Dao Lengtian's eyes grew stronger, ultimately overwhelming his rationality.
After Dao Lengtian bowed once more, he suddenly roared:
"Bastard, since you won't spare me! Then let's die together!"
As he spoke, Dao Lengtian forcefully pushed off the ground, launching himself forward like an arrow released from a bow.
Dao Lengtian's sudden change took everyone by surprise; it was too late to stop him. They could only watch helplessly as Dao Lengtian's fist struck towards Aotian's heart.
A fierce gust of wind erupted from Dao Lengtian's fist, causing onlookers to change color in fear. This punch likely contained all of Dao Lengtian's strength; if it hit Aotian, he would either die or be severely injured!
However, Aotian faced Dao Lengtian's attack with a calm expression. What the crowd did not see was that Aotian's index finger was completely covered in silver light, gathering an immense amount of energy.
Aotian's calmness stirred a sense of unease and regret within Dao Lengtian. But now that the arrow was nocked, there was no turning back.
Thus, Dao Lengtian could only pray that Aotian had no means of defense and was merely stunned by fear.
Just as Dao Lengtian's fist was about to strike Aotian's heart and excitement flickered across his face, a single word from Aotian sent chills down Dao Lengtian's spine.
"Die!"
A word was spat out from Aotian's mouth, containing a strong sense of coldness and murderous intent.
Immediately, Dao Lengtian's advancing body came to a sudden halt, the excitement on his face abruptly freezing. In its place was a mixture of despair, regret, and unwillingness.
Finally, Dao Lengtian's body slowly fell backward under the shocked gazes of the crowd.
At the position of Dao Lengtian's heart, there was a gaping wound the size of a fingertip, from which bright red blood continuously flowed out.
Clearly, Aotian had never intended to spare Dao Lengtian. The moment Dao Lengtian launched his attack, Aotian had already been confident in delivering a fatal blow.
Dao Lengtian, Vice Master of Azure Cloud Sect and a renowned powerhouse in Fengyun Nation, ultimately fell at the hands of Aotian. This left everyone involuntarily sighing in astonishment.
Of course, what truly shocked everyone was Aotian's power. All the top forces within Fengyun Nation mobilized for Aotian, which was enough to leave people in disbelief.
Especially with Purple Gold Chamber standing on Aotian's side, it was even harder to comprehend.
Purple Gold Chamber was known as the Sleeping Dragon, and now this divine dragon had awakened for Aotian and stood with him. This made it clear to everyone that Aotian's reputation as one of the Four Young Masters of Fengyun was well-deserved.
Moreover, Aotian had also secured the title of champion in this year's Dragon-Tiger Contest. It could be said that Aotian's prestige had completely surpassed that of the older generation of Inner Academy Students, nearly rivaling those legendary Core Students.
However, Aotian did not react much to this. After killing Dao Lengtian, he retreated to his courtyard to heal and rest.
Although Aotian had left, his reputation continued to grow louder. The news of him being the champion of the Dragon-Tiger Contest spread rapidly throughout Fengyun Nation.
Defeating Luo Yiqiang equated to taking the top position among the Four Young Masters of Fengyun. This caused an uproar throughout Fengyun Nation.
However, regardless of the commotion outside, the courtyard of Aotian remained peaceful.
Time passed swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, three days had gone by.
During these three days, the "guests" had gradually left Xuantian Academy, and Purple Spirit Cloud had also departed early due to matters concerning the Purple Gold Chamber.
On this day, early in the morning, Aotian stepped out of the courtyard and headed towards the Council Hall of Xuantian Academy.
As soon as he entered the hall, Aotian saw Luo Yiqiang and Han Kong already waiting. In addition, the Grand Elder was seated at the head of the hall with his eyes slightly closed.
"Grand Elder!"
Seeing this, Aotian hurriedly approached and respectfully called out.
Upon hearing Aotian's voice, the Grand Elder immediately opened his eyes, a flash of brilliance flickering within them.
Once he confirmed that everyone was present, the Grand Elder spoke directly:
"You three are the top three of this year's Dragon-Tiger Contest. According to the reward rules, you may enter the Treasure Vault to select any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or Weapon Elixirs."
Upon hearing the Grand Elder's words, everyone immediately showed expressions of wild joy and then looked at him with eager anticipation.
Seeing their reactions, the Grand Elder revealed a mysterious smile. He then led the way out of the hall, and Aotian and the others exchanged glances before quickly following him.
On the way, Han Kong suddenly leaned over and said:
"Aotian, I heard you really killed Dao Lengtian?"
"Yeah, Aotian. I heard even Purple Gold Chamber came forward to help you. Is that true or false?" At this moment, Luo Yiqiang also approached, asking curiously.
Since both of them had been unconscious before, they were unaware of Aotian's "great feat." Although they had heard their juniors talking about it after waking up, they still found it hard to believe, thinking it was just a rumor.
Now that they saw Aotian in person, they naturally wanted to confirm.
Aotian happily admitted it, as this matter was no longer a secret, and there was no need to hide it.
Upon hearing Aotian's admission, Luo Yiqiang and the others were taken aback. Then, with some disbelief, they asked:
"You really killed Dao Lengtian, and you weren't harmed at all?!"
"Purple Gold Chamber really stood up to speak for you?!"
Aotian couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "What? Don't you believe me?"
Although the two still found it hard to believe, from Aotian's attitude, they realized that the rumors they had heard these days were actually true!
"Aotian, impressive!" Han Kong said with admiration, giving Aotian a thumbs up.
Luo Yiqiang also nodded in agreement, his eyes showing a rare expression of respect.
Luo Yiqiang and Han Kong have long occupied the top three spots in the Inner Courtyard Rankings, truly a pair of unruly masters. It is quite difficult to earn their respect.
However, Aotian managed to do just that. Firstly, the two of them combined still lost to Aotian, which naturally instilled a sense of awe in their hearts.
Later, they heard about Aotian's remarkable feats and how he boldly avenged himself against the Yang Xuantian Academy. This further deepened their admiration for him.
Seeing the respect in their expressions, Aotian couldn't help but feel a bit elated. It is no easy task to make these two proud masters submit!
At that moment, the voice of the Grand Elder came from ahead:
"You three, hurry up! The Treasure Vault is here!"
The three were jolted back to reality and quickly composed themselves as they hurried forward.
