You guys are really strong, breaking 700 is something you can do right away...

Okay, I'll give you all a big update, thanks for your support!

153. I'm outta here, bye-bye!

From the very beginning, the lightning arrow was not aimed at Han Jiuquan himself.

Realizing this, Han Jiuquan gritted his teeth, and the light around his body burst forth as if trying to break free of his chains. His legs were now filled with lightning, and he could even feel countless purple lightning bolts surging back and forth in his meridians, numbing his muscles and nerves.

We can't let things continue like this!

He suddenly raised his head and stared at the lightning that was descending from the sky and gradually enlarging—it was an arrow that Ye Yuchan had shot into the sky earlier. Countless bolts of lightning swirled on the arrow, and the tip of the arrowhead seemed to have a roaring and raging dragon, exuding an extremely dangerous and terrifying aura.

Han Jiuquan is the most monstrous genius among the [One] sect of the Three Heavens Academy, how could he possibly be defeated here?!

"Sword rise!"

Divine radiance reappears!

Despite the excruciating pain of muscle spasms and numbness, Han Jiuquan circulated his vast spiritual energy, condensing several exquisite incantations, and his body shone with golden light once again.

Several golden lightsabers hovered in front of him, forming a majestic sword ring. Under the holy golden light, he felt that the lightning in his body was suppressed to some extent, and at least he had regained some feeling in his legs.

Before he could retaliate, a crisp snap of fingers rang in his ears.

Snapped--

Crisp and concise.

The snap of the fingers was followed by excruciating pain as the flesh in his hands, arms, chest, and abdomen burst open!

It felt as if thousands of sharp silver needles were exploding inside his body. The immense pain stained half of Han Jiuquan's body blood red, and he coughed up a large amount of blood.

What happened?! What's going on?!

He stared at Ye Yuchan in disbelief, only to find a mischievous smile on her face.

A thousand-foot cliff, a hidden heart.

As Ye Yuchan unleashed her close-quarters combat techniques, she channeled her incredibly sharp spiritual energy into Han Jiuquan's body. Whether it was fist-to-fist, whip kick, side kick, or slam...

With each strike, Ye Yuchan would infuse her own "Thousand Blades" technique, condensing a needle-sharp spiritual energy into it, and then...

In that instant, it exploded!

His body was severely injured, and even the golden light weakened, losing its previous terrifying majesty. Han Jiuquan was once again controlled by the lightning net, completely losing his chance to resist the lightning arrows that fell from the sky.

The dragon that controlled the lightning descended from the sky and struck Han Jiuquan, who was right in the center of the lightning net, with perfect accuracy.

--(roar)

It was a blinding white light, a dazzling brilliance.

Inside the towering pillar of lightning, Han Jiuquan's figure was writhing almost madly. It was clear that he was howling and roaring, but his voice was completely drowned out by the violent roar of the lightning. He was trying to struggle, but how could he, who had been severely injured, be a match for the raging lightning?

Gradually, the lightning pillar disappeared, and the lightning guided by the Little Heavenly Thunder Body slowly dissipated.

The crackling sounds still lingered. Ye Yuchan looked closely and found that Han Jiuquan, who was lying on the ground, had not yet fainted!

She noticed an unknown golden light emanating from his chest, forming a pale golden barrier that seemed to protect his life. Above the barrier, there seemed to be some lingering lightning crackling.

A protective magic artifact... huh.

That being said, Han Jiuquan's appearance at this moment was no longer that of the confident and arrogant genius of the Three Heavens Academy.

Because the Taoist robe he wore from the Three-Day Academy was blasted to shreds by the thunder, most of the fabric was burned black, and a large area of ​​his bronze skin was exposed, with visible burn marks on his skin.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing was that black afro...

"Seriously...you've angered me..."

Supporting his frail body with his hands, Han Jiuquan slowly got up from the ground, looked up, and saw the silver-haired girl's figure reflected in his scarlet eyes filled with hatred and anger.

His spiritual energy was running low, and logically speaking, this should have been the last howl of a loser before leaving the stage.

Ye Yuchan stepped forward, cautiously raising the Black Rain Arrow, which reappeared as a silver-white arrow—she wasn't sure if Han Jiuquan had any backup plans, so it was the right choice to finish him off safely at this moment.

"I suggest you admit defeat," Ye Yuchan said coldly, her eyes filled with disdain. "If you don't, I might shoot your head off with an arrow."

"Ha!" Han Jiuquan laughed loudly, getting up from the ground in a rather disheveled state. With his black afro still on, he spoke with an extremely arrogant tone: "I have never seen anyone in my life dare to shoot me in the head. To be honest, Miss Ye, you are the first one to have put me in this state."

Ye Yuchan smirked and said calmly, "Looks like you haven't fought that Liu Kaige guy yet. He's a bit stronger than you."

Upon hearing Ye Yuchan say that he was inferior to Liu Kaige, Han Jiuquan, also a young master of the Six Extremes, immediately retorted angrily: "If you hadn't used that forbidden technique to break my Kingless Sword! Otherwise you would have been defeated by me long ago!"

Another ban...

Ye Yuchan picked at her ear, thinking to herself, "Where did I get this forbidden technique from? Is this guy out of his mind? He can't even come up with an excuse."

Ye Yuchan muttered a curse to herself, too lazy to continue arguing with him. She immediately drew back the bowstring, and the black flames on the arrowhead ignited once more.

Her meaning couldn't be clearer—to admit defeat, or to suffer.

"I don't mind leaving a few holes in you... This is the price you pay for coming here to cause trouble!"

Han Jiuquan's lips curled into a cold smile: "I have never paid any price in my life so far. I never did before, and I have never been prepared to pay any price in the future."

"Is that so?"

Ye Yuchan's expression gradually turned cold. Although she didn't really want to continue attacking Han Jiuquan, she had no choice since he insisted on maintaining his superior attitude.

only--

Before she could draw the bowstring, the silver-haired girl felt a sudden chill run down her spine, as if an icy hand had quietly crept up her back.

hostility!

The slender blade that attacked from behind was narrowly dodged by the silver-haired girl with swift and agile footwork just before it touched Ye Yuchan's back. Ye Yuchan instantly created distance and turned to look at the figure that had suddenly made the move.

"Han Jiuquan, it's ridiculous that you've fallen to such a state."

Sheathing the short blade, slightly longer than the dagger, the woman with long blue hair and a voluptuous figure smiled at Han Jiuquan. At the same time, her interested gaze turned to Ye Yuchan not far away.

It's worth mentioning that she was also wearing the Taoist robe from the Three-Day Academy!

On the other side, a gloomy-looking young man, who appeared to be about twenty years old, squinted and walked over with heavy steps. He was also a student of the Three-Day Academy!

"Hey Yang, have you forgotten how I beat you up on the ground?"

"Hehe..." The woman smiled faintly, "Don't be so angry. I'm just curious why the genius of our [One] Sect can't defeat an unknown little girl."

Han Jiuquan stared at the woman surnamed Yang and said coldly, "Are you here to help me or to mock me?"

"Of course we're here to help you." The gloomy man silently took out his magical longsword, his cold gaze shooting at Ye Yuchan. "Otherwise, we wouldn't be here."

As layers of hostility descended, Ye Yuchan's opponents suddenly increased from one to three!

And they were three students from the Three-Day Academy!

Aside from Han Jiuquan, who was at the peak of the Spirit Platform stage, the other two were actually at the minor completion stage of the Spirit Platform stage. Judging from their auras, neither of them were easy opponents to deal with.

Ye Yuchan took a deep breath, realizing that the situation seemed to have taken a dramatic turn, and said sarcastically, "What, you can't beat me, so you start calling for reinforcements?"

"Ha, this is a battleground for all factions."

Han Jiuquan smiled and spread his hands, "It's just a battle between sects, what's wrong with that?"

"Winning by sheer numbers, don't you think that's an unfair victory?!"

While spouting righteous nonsense, Ye Yuchan was secretly thinking of a solution.

Her gaze swept toward the summit. Judging from the current distance, she still had to sprint at least two thousand meters to reach the top.

This distance... is not enough...

If she wants to use that, she has to reduce the distance to about one thousand meters.

One against three...that's a bit difficult.

"Winning unfairly?" Han Jiuquan seemed to look down on those four words, arrogantly spreading his hands. "As long as we can win, any means are acceptable. History is usually written by the victors, isn't it?"

The woman surnamed Yang raised her fiery red eyebrows, her heavy makeup making her look exceptionally alluring. "Don't listen to his nonsense, little sister—I think you have some skills. Why don't you consider joining my team? If you come to the academy for three days, I might consider taking you in."

Ye Yuchan completely ignored the olive branch extended by the woman.

Just kidding, she has a second immortal in her own family, Ye Yuchan would never do something like throwing away the watermelon to pick up a sesame seed.

No need for further explanation.

A fierce glint flashed in the gloomy man's eyes as he stared at Ye Yuchan with intense hostility. "Hurry up and deal with her. We don't have much time left. After you've dealt with her, head to the mountaintop immediately!"

"Eh... so in such a hurry?" The woman pouted, then reluctantly pulled out a short blade from her bosom, toying with it in her hand. "I wanted to chat with this little sister a bit more..."

"Time is of the essence!"

Han Jiuquan also spoke up, although he didn't really care about time; what he cared about was Ye Yuchan.

Originally, he just wanted to enjoy the pleasure of toying with Ye Yuchan, but now, he only wants Ye Yuchan to pay the price!

Ye Yuchan slowly put away her magic weapon, Black Rain, and stood on the volcanic rock wall, looking solemnly at the three of them.

At this moment, she was like a fearless warrior. Facing such an absolute disadvantage of fighting three against one, there was no fear on her face. Instead, she exuded an aura of righteous indignation.

"Since you insist on fighting, then I have no other choice."

Lightning crackled around her legs.

Seeing this, Han Jiuquan immediately warned, "This girl has an elemental physique, so be careful not to get hit in close combat! Also, be sure to watch out for her lightning arrows!"

"Elemental physique, huh..."

The woman and the gloomy man exchanged a glance, both becoming more vigilant. At the same time, they focused their attention on Ye Yuchan, because they both knew that the characteristic of a lightning elemental physique was an exaggeratedly fast speed.

On the battlefield, where fighting spirit was high and the smell of gunpowder was thick, Ye Yuchan slowly lowered her body.

The next moment!

The silver-haired girl's figure vanished in an instant, leaving only two or three streaks of lightning in her wake!

—They've attacked!

Above? In front? To the side?

The woman and the gloomy man were stunned, and Ye Yuchan suddenly disappeared from their sight.
