23: Kill instantly with one sword!

"All of you, get out of my way, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Liu Jiangyi's gaze was grim, his eyes filled with Killing Intent.

This cold shout really did scare these young rascals.

Before Liu Jiangyi, they had never seen such a reckless Alchemist.

In their opinion, Alchemists were all a bunch of effeminate, easy-to-bully guys; where did one come from who would start a fight at the slightest disagreement?

"Hehe, the famous Teacher Liu, can he only show off to students?"

At this moment.

A discordant voice came from the crowd.

The next moment.

A middle-aged man in a Combat Academy teacher's uniform strode over.

"Who are you?"

"Combat Academy teacher, Wang Quan!"

"You're quite confident in admitting it. Are these rude students the ones you taught?"

Liu Jiangyi sneered, "If you don't know how to educate students, I can help you!"

"Presumptuous!" Wang Quan snorted coldly, and the pressure of a Sixth-Rank Martial Artist burst forth from him.

"My students are not for you to educate!"

"To be honest, our Swordsmanship Department doesn't need to learn those Evil Path things. Go back!"

"What if I insist on teaching?" Liu Jiangyi's expression was icy.

He had just taken office; if he returned in such a dejected manner, where would his dignity be?

Feng Qingyang couldn't possibly be unaware of the situation here.

Since he still let him come, it meant this was a test.

If he couldn't even solve this small matter, how could he be worthy of the Head Teacher's position?

"Hehe, insist?" Wang Quan twisted his neck, "Then you'll have to follow the rules of our Swordsmanship Department!"

"What rules?"

"Defeat a student, and then defeat me!"

"Hehe, that's all?" Liu Jiangyi showed disdain.

Even he himself wasn't confident in fighting a Sixth-Rank Martial Artist, but at this moment, how could he back down?

Even if it meant risking his life, he had to prove himself!

To prove that the people of the Medical Academy were not the cowards they claimed!

"Good, good, good! You've got guts!"

Wang Quan waved his hand without looking back, "Tieshan, you're up!"

"Yes!"

A simple and honest voice sounded in the crowd.

Then a dark-skinned student, two meters tall, like a human iron tower, walked out.

He looked down at Liu Jiangyi from above, his eyes full of contempt and disdain.

"Teacher Liu, my fists, Tieshan's, don't hold back. If I accidentally injure you later, please don't hold a grudge!"

"Hehe, you?"

Liu Jiangyi showed disdain.

He could instantly kill a Third-Rank Martial Artist at will. Although this Fourth-Rank Martial Artist in front of him was much stronger than a Third-Rank, he wasn't invincible!

"Lend me a sword to use."

"Take it!" Wang Quan grabbed the sword from a student behind him and threw it directly to Liu Jiangyi.

"Everyone, step back!"

Wang Quan called out to the crowd to make way for them.

In the center of the open space.

Liu Jiangyi and Tieshan stood ten meters apart.

Tieshan said arrogantly, "Teacher Liu, you go first. Don't let people say I'm bullying you!"

"I am a teacher, you are a student. How can I bully the young? You go first."

Liu Jiangyi's tone was calm, his eyes confident.

"Hmph! If I make a move, you won't have a chance to retaliate!" Tieshan's attitude was arrogant.

"We'll see." Liu Jiangyi's tone was playful.

"You're courting death!" Tieshan roared, and his body suddenly charged out.

Bang!

With a loud bang, cracks even appeared on the bluestone floor beneath Tieshan's feet. His massive body, like a cannonball fired from a barrel, was incredibly fast!

"Mountain Shaking Sword!"

Tieshan roared, his body soaring into the air, both hands raising his sword and slashing down fiercely, like a mountain descending from the sky, carrying an Aura that crushed everything.

In contrast, Liu Jiangyi still stood in place, neither dodging nor evading, merely holding the hilt of the sword in his left hand with his right, his attitude calm.

"Hehe, is this old man planning to give up?"

"He's been scared silly. Tieshan's Aura is so astonishing; if it were me, I'd be scared silly too, let alone a weakling like him who only knows Alchemy!"

"Hmph! What I hate most are these cowardly Alchemists, one after another, never going to the front lines to kill enemies, yet constantly showing off!"

"This Sword Qi had better kill him!"

The crowd mocked repeatedly, their eyes sinister.

"Teacher Liu, I'm sorry!"

Tieshan's pupils were bloodshot. This Sword Qi was full of Aura, like the majestic might of heaven descending, seemingly with the power to destroy the world!

"Sorry? I'm the one who should be saying sorry."

Liu Jiangyi's lips curled into a disdainful smile, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

Not good!

A strong sense of life-and-death crisis emerged in Tieshan's heart. He only felt a chill spreading from his toes to the top of his head.

Crack!

The longsword in Liu Jiangyi's hand was slightly unsheathed a sliver, and a world-destroying Aura instantly erupted.

"Not good! What kind of terrifying Aura is this?"

"Damn it, Tieshan is in danger!"

"Quick, retreat!"

Boom!

The longsword was drawn, and a crescent-shaped Sword Qi, ten meters long, shot into the sky, like a flashing streak of light, instantly piercing through Tieshan's body.

Tieshan's body briefly paused in mid-air, then his two bloody hands, still tightly gripping the longsword, detached from his body and fell to the ground.

Hiss!

Everyone gasped, feeling a chill run down their spines!

"Ah!!!"

Tieshan's scream shot into the sky. His bloody hands and gushing blood deeply stimulated everyone's nerves!

No one had expected that Liu Jiangyi's Sword Qi would instantly defeat the imposing Tieshan!

One must know that this Sword Qi cut off Tieshan's hands.

But what if Liu Jiangyi had aimed at Tieshan's neck?

Then what would have fallen off would have been Tieshan's head!

"Quick! Quick, save him!"

Wang Quan reacted quickly. Although he was shocked, he quickly called people forward to save him.

The crowd also reacted quickly, immediately swarming forward to carry Tieshan and his severed hands away.

Severed hands were not a major injury for a Martial Artist.

As long as treatment was timely, they could be reattached completely, without any sequelae.

Liu Jiangyi returned the longsword to its scabbard, his indifferent gaze sweeping over the surrounding crowd.

Those who were met by that gaze all shrank their necks in fear.

These reckless people, who specialized in killing, respected nothing but ruthless individuals.

Everything Liu Jiangyi displayed now, though bloody, truly made them afraid.

Liu Jiangyi's gaze finally settled on Wang Quan, whose eyes were complex.

"Teacher Wang, it's your turn."

Liu Jiangyi said with a forced smile.

Thump!

Wang Quan's heart trembled.

For some reason, he, a dignified Sixth-Rank Martial Artist, felt a hint of panic when facing Liu Jiangyi, a Third-Rank Martial Artist.

Liu Jiangyi was only a Third-Rank Martial Artist, yet he instantly killed the Fourth-Rank Martial Artist Tieshan with a single Sword Qi.

This ability to kill across Realms was truly terrifying.

But now, he was in a difficult situation, unable to back down.

He was the one who had uttered the harsh words.

He was also a Sixth-Rank Martial Artist, three whole Realms higher than Liu Jiangyi. Logically, he could crush Liu Jiangyi with a single finger.

If he chickened out now, where would his face be?

Where would his dignity be!?
