33: Chapter 33 The Blade of Life and Death

Many people thought that Qi Yang would lose.

But no one expected that Shen Xingchen could severely injure Qi Yang with just a single move.

Even Qi Yang himself did not know that the gap between him and Shen Xingchen was actually so huge.

Just now, the only person who could have stopped Shen Xingchen from severely injuring Qi Yang was the referee, who was a Tier 5 Martial Artist.

Why didn't the referee make a move?

For one thing, Qi Yang didn't even have time to call out surrender.

For another, the scene of He Yan playing dirty and going for the kill in yesterday's match made the referee feel disgusted, so he didn't like this couple either.

Looking at He Yan, Shen Xingchen narrowed his eyes and smiled, ‐Oh my, I am truly sorry. I didn't expect your boyfriend to be so weak!‑

The audience burst into laughter.

‐Hahaha, this Shen Xingchen is really driving his sword into the heart!‑

‐Fortunately Qi Yang has already passed out, otherwise he would be so angry he'd vomit blood right now!‑

‐This S-rank is not only handsome and strong, but also quite humorous. Big sister loves him even more!‑

He Yan was infuriated, and the dagger in her sleeve abruptly unsheathed.

With a vicious look in her eyes, she sprinted toward Shen Xingchen: ‐Go to hell!‑

Qi Yang is injured, the opponent dies!

This was the agreement between them.

No one could hurt them, not even an S-rank!

Shen Xingchen sneered and was just about to make a move.

Crack‐

A striking bolt of lightning struck down, and the dagger shattered instantly.

‐The match is already over, unauthorized personnel please leave the arena!‑

Seeing this from above the command platform, the referee said with a cold face.

Shen Xingchen withdrew his hands.

Seeing the referee's methods and knowing she couldn't make a move, He Yan bristled all over.

With red-rimmed eyes, she screamed: ‐It is just a match, do you have to be so heavy-handed?‑

Just now, when she probed Qi Yang's body, because he had used three layers of blood explosion and was heavily beaten by that terrifying punch, whether he could get out of bed in the short term was a question.

Moreover, Qi Yang's meridians might be affected. Even if his injuries recovered, his foundation might be affected, and he could no longer consider himself a genius.

If Qi Yang woke up and heard such news, how could he accept it!?

He was such a proud person!

Shen Xingchen couldn't be bothered to answer He Yan's brain-dead question, and simply replied: ‐You should worry more about yourself!‑

You think that because I beat him, I won't hit you?

Then wouldn't my hooligan-villain look from just now go to waste?

‐You!‑ He Yan was so angry she couldn't speak.

‐What you think is your business, I have no mood to care about your fragile glass heart. How I act needs no teaching from you, nor is there any reason to explain it to you!‑

Shen Xingchen jumped off the arena and lazily waved his hand: ‐See you tomorrow!‑

There were only two matches in total today, and he had already finished his bout, so he had no interest in continuing to watch.

On the arena, only He Yan was left, staring fixedly at Shen Xingchen with an expression that looked like she could eat someone alive.

Jiang Qingyao trotted to catch up, smiling as she said: ‐Brother Xingchen, today ended early, let's go shopping!‑

Jiang Qingyao had expected this victory long ago, so she wasn't too surprised.

No matter how strong Shen Xingchen was, it was only reasonable...

Shen Xingchen nodded in agreement.

Jiang Qingyao still couldn't help but be curious: ‐There were too many people yesterday, I didn't get a chance to ask, how on earth did you break through to Tier 2 Level 5? Weren't you only at Tier 2 Level 1?‑

Others might not be clear about it, but Jiang Qingyao knew.

When Shen Xingchen fought against Tang Chen a few weeks ago, the combat power he displayed was Tier 2 Level 1!

Shen Xingchen was already annoyed by this kind of question, and casually said: ‐It's just... I accidentally broke through!‑

There wasn't much to explain about this...

He couldn't possibly say, ‐I just used the time you guys use to rest to turn on a cheat!‑

‐That really was careless!‑ Jiang Qingyao said with resentful eyes and a strange expression, whispering: ‐Next time... be more careful!‑

‐...‑ Shen Xingchen was speechless. What kind of talk was that!

The two walked out of the gymnasium side by side, the distance between them shifting closer and further apart.

Psychology says that when interacting between the opposite sex, everyone has their own subconscious social distance.

Between couples, this distance is generally twenty centimeters, and within this range, it belongs to an extremely intimate relationship.

Between Jiang Qingyao and Shen Xingchen now, they would occasionally exceed this critical point.

It's just that the two getting along didn't care about this minor detail.

After a while.

Jiang Qingyao suddenly smiled and said: ‐That classmate Ye of ours looks at you with a very unusual gaze!‑

She noticed that when the two of them walked out of the city gymnasium earlier, Ye Jingjing's eyes were full of affection.

That gaze could probably melt a young boy's bones.

In this world, which girl wouldn't like a boy who is both handsome and strong?

Shen Xingchen stopped, looked at Jiang Qingyao, and asked: ‐So?‑

Shen Xingchen naturally noticed Ye Jingjing's emotions, but she belonged to the soft and cute type, which was not the type Shen Xingchen liked.

He liked girls with longer legs, an exquisite face, a somewhat cold temperament, but lively in front of him... Somehow that didn't sound quite right, anyway, that was the kind that attracted him more.

Jiang Qingyao was stunned.

Right, so?

Why did I bring up this kind of thing?

For the rest of the journey, Jiang Qingyao just silently followed behind Shen Xingchen, occasionally sneaking glances at Shen Xingchen's back.

Not knowing what she was thinking.

Qiunan City, central urban area.

Inside the He family's manor.

It didn't take long. He Yan cleanly and neatly finished today's match and drove back home.

‐Eldest Miss, you're back?‑ The old butler with slightly graying temples greeted a young girl with a smile full of warmth.

He was an old servant of the He Estate for more than thirty years, and could be said to have watched the young miss grow up.

Now the young miss had grown up gracefully, and was also a genius student of Wudao No. 1 High School. The old servant was happy from the bottom of his heart.

With a stern expression, He Yan walked step by step into the estate gates.

In today's Six Academies Grand Competition, Shen Xingchen actually dared to injure Qi Yang.

He probably didn't know what Qi Yang meant to her!

Qi Yang was the only ray of light she had ever encountered in her life!

When she was very, very young, a supreme figure on the path of martial arts came to the family.

This supreme figure's Talent Divine Ability was called [Prophecy]. He foresaw that He Yan's future Talent Divine Ability would be a skill identical to the He family's ancestor, S-rank‐ [Divine Mind Master]

He Yan suddenly became the center of attention, and her father's status in the family rose rapidly.

Her limelight was unmatched for a time, and she was deeply loved and doted on.

But she hadn't rejoiced for long before she ushered in a doomsday-like life.

In order to unearth He Yan's [Divine Mind Master] Talent Divine Ability as soon as possible so as to inherit the ancestor's power,

The people of the He family unanimously decided to send He Yan into the gate of creation and annihilation.

The gate of creation and annihilation was the trial path left by the He family's ancestor to the He family. Because that ancestor possessed heaven-defying and earth-shattering abilities, the trial left behind was naturally extremely terrifying.

Anyone who entered the gate of creation and annihilation would undoubtedly suffer bone-deep torment; this was almost common knowledge in the He family.

However, He Yan, who was only seven years old, had to endure this inhuman ordeal.

Little He Yan simply didn't know why the uncles, aunts, and parents who had cared for and protected her yesterday suddenly became abnormally obstinate overnight.

Even though she cried until her throat was hoarse, she still couldn't stop those relatives from sending her into the gate of creation and annihilation.

In the end, she was still personally sent into that door by her parents.

At that moment, her heart died!

She didn't know how long had passed.

He Yan felt that she had already been tortured to numbness by the trial path.

However, she still walked out.

She would never forget that cruel trial nicknamed the Road to Hell in this lifetime.

Nor would she forget the relatives who personally sent her in.

After coming out.

He Yan obtained unimaginable power‐the power of creation and annihilation, and the blade of creation and annihilation!

At the same time, she also lost human emotions!

Later, she went to Wudao Middle School.

Her cold personality made everyone think she was a complete monster.

They looked at her with strange gazes and bullied her with the most vicious words.

Then she displayed terrifying strength far surpassing her peers, crippling all those people!

Although that power was still sealed, just a trace of power seeping out possessed incomparable and terrifying might.

From then on, everyone began to fear her.

However, the gaze of looking at a monster never changed.

Until the appearance of Qi Yang...

He didn't care about her coldness, and said he wanted to be friends with her for a lifetime.

He didn't care about the classmates' strange gazes, standing in front of her, protecting her, and venting her anger.

The gaze he looked at her with always carried a gentle smile.

In the end, her heart was breached.

He was like a ray of light, piercing through the layers of her heart, illuminating the haze in her heart...

Now, someone wanted to destroy the only light in her heart.

That person... that fellow named Shen Xingchen!

Must die!

I will personally... kill him!

He Yan suddenly asked: ‐Is my dad home?‑

The old servant: ‐Oh my, Miss, so you came to look for Master. If Master knew, he wouldn't know how happy he'd be, but unfortunately Master went out...‑

He Yan interrupted coldly: ‐It's even better that he's not home!‑

Saying this, she walked towards a tower-shaped building within the manor.

The old servant panicked: ‐Eldest Miss, you cannot go to the clan tower! That place hides power that you cannot control!‑

He Yan said with a piercing gaze: ‐Today, no one can stop me from taking out the blade of creation and annihilation!‑

The clan tower was a divine object crafted by generations of the He family with countless efforts.

And the blade of creation and annihilation was in the core area of the clan tower!

Today, she must take out that divine dagger with a terrifying aura‐the blade of creation and annihilation!

Then... kill that person!
