As they watched the dozens of Azure Blades heading towards Aotian, the crowd below couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
The ferocity of the Azure Blade had just been perfectly demonstrated before them, so most did not believe that Aotian could withstand the impact of the Azure Blade.
Now, with dozens of Azure Blades unleashed, Aotian's escape route was completely sealed off. This naturally led to a variety of emotions among the crowd.
Some were worried, some were gleeful, some were angry, and some were indifferent...
However, regardless of what the crowd thought, the advancing speed of those blades would not be halted. Amidst the shocked gazes of the onlookers, the blades struck fiercely against Aotian.
"Boom!"
Instantly, the stone slab trembled, rocks shattered, and dust filled the air, obscuring everyone's view.
Everyone in the Duel Arena couldn't help but hold their breath, staring intently at the dust-filled area as if they wanted to witness what had happened to Aotian at that very moment.
A gentle breeze swept through, and gradually, the dust on the Dueling Platform began to dissipate, revealing the scene within.
They saw that the stone slab struck by the Azure Blade had been completely shattered, exposing deep gorges crisscrossing across it, a sight that was shocking to behold.
Yet Aotian's figure had mysteriously vanished...
"Hey, where's Senior Aotian?"
"Could it be that he was reduced to rubble by that Azure Blade?"
"Perhaps he escaped the strike of the Azure Blade..."
"Impossible, I clearly saw him get hit!"
On the stage, Mo Gang's brows furrowed tightly, forming a '川' shape, his eyes filled with seriousness and doubt.
Rationality told him that Aotian had been reduced to dust by his Divine Brush, but deep down, he had a premonition that Aotian was not dead and was hiding nearby.
"Impossible. The Divine Brush's edge is extremely fierce. Even Wei Tianyi would suffer if hit; Aotian is far inferior to Wei Tianyi, and he clearly got hit. There's no way he could be fine." Mo Gang repeatedly reassured himself, thinking he was being overly sensitive.
Most people in the arena wore expressions of gloom; clearly, not many believed Aotian could emerge unscathed from the barrage of over a dozen strikes.
Had that boy, who had only been at the academy for a few months yet repeatedly created miracles, truly fallen like this?
Snow Qincheng's face turned pale, her delicate body trembling continuously, her mind blank.
Niu Geng's eyes were bloodshot, his teeth grinding together with a "squeaking" sound as he fixed his gaze on Mo Gang, looking as if he wished to tear him apart.
The He Brothers and other members of the Starry Radiance Society looked incredulous. Their leader had actually fallen at Mo Gang's hands? Although they were reluctant to believe it, reason told them this was the truth...
In the entire arena, perhaps only Ying Tianrui remained calm. As an outstanding strategist, he had to ensure he stayed alert at all times. Even if the sky were to fall in the next second, his heart could not be disturbed!
Moreover, he believed that his leader would not fall so easily—absolutely not!
"You bastard! You killed my leader; I'll fight you!" Suddenly, Niu Geng's voice erupted like thunder. Immediately after, a terrifying aura surged violently from within Niu Geng.
Standing next to Niu Geng, several students were directly intimidated and pushed back by his imposing presence.
"Niu Geng, calm down!" At some point, Ying Tianrui appeared in front of Niu Geng, firmly blocking his path.
Ying Tianrui knew that Niu Geng had completely lost his rationality at this moment, and he had to stop him; otherwise, there was no telling what rules Niu Geng might break.
"Niu Geng, get out of my way, or I'll make you regret it!"
Niu Geng's eyes widened in fury as he shouted at Ying Tianrui.
Ying Tianrui remained expressionless and did not respond, only staring intently at Niu Geng, refusing to budge.
Looking at Ying Tianrui in front of him, a bloodthirsty crimson flashed in Niu Geng's eyes. Then, a surge of power slowly began to gather within him.
At that moment, Mo Gang on the stage suddenly sneered and said, "The members of the Starry Radiance Society are indeed a bunch of overconfident fools. Even your leader has fallen at my hands; do you really think you can fight me?"
Clearly, Mo Gang's words were directed at Niu Geng.
Upon hearing Mo Gang's words, Ying Tianrui's expression changed slightly as he thought to himself: "This is bad!"
Sure enough, before Ying Tianrui could speak, Niu Geng let out a furious roar towards the sky:
"Hybrid, hand over your life!"
The voice was like thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth.
On the Dueling Platform, Mo Gang's expression changed slightly. At that moment, he sensed a hint of danger emanating from Niu Geng. Thus, he couldn't help but focus his attention on Niu Geng.
Just as Niu Geng was about to launch an attack on Mo Gang, a mocking voice suddenly rang out:
"Mo Gang, sometimes even seeing it with your own eyes doesn't mean you can believe it's the truth..."
Before the words fell, Mo Gang's face changed drastically. Instinctively, he tried to dodge, but one of Niu Geng's legs seemed to transform into a long blade and struck fiercely at Mo Gang.
Immediately, a muffled groan escaped from Mo Gang's throat, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he was sent flying off the Dueling Platform.
The entire Duel Arena erupted in an uproar due to Mo Gang's flight. This was because standing where Mo Gang had originally been was Aotian, the leader of the Starry Radiance Society!
"Aotian senior is truly impressive! Even against that Azure Blade's ferocity, he remains unscathed!" a student who greatly admired Aotian proudly exclaimed.
As the members of the Starry Radiance Society saw Aotian appear, joy spread across their faces.
When Snow Qincheng saw that familiar face on stage, she couldn't help but burst into tears of joy.
The power that had gathered within Niu Geng also dissipated as he looked at the boy on stage who resembled an undefeated war god with excitement.
Only Ying Tianrui maintained a calm demeanor, but upon closer inspection, one could see a hint of relief in his eyes.
"How... how is this possible?" Mo Gang stared at the unharmed Aotian, murmuring in disbelief.
Immediately, Mo Gang seemed to go mad as he shouted, "Impossible! I clearly saw you hit by the edge of my Divine Brush. How could you be unscathed?!"
Aotian curled his lips into a cold smile, and in an instant, his figure flickered and appeared not far in front of Mo Gang, clearly intending to take the opportunity to defeat him.
Seeing Aotian so close, Mo Gang felt a surge of joy instead of fear. He gripped the brush tightly and fiercely swept the tip towards Aotian, shouting, "Die!"
Suddenly, the Azure Blade surged with overwhelming sharpness, piercing towards Aotian's body. Some timid individuals in the audience could no longer hold back their screams.
Aotian was simply too close to Mo Gang, and with the Azure Blade's incredible speed, even if Aotian were just an Innate Martial Artist, it would be difficult for him to evade this fierce Azure Blade, let alone a Spirit Realm Martial Artist…
