Actually, if Jin Si Zhizhu had put forth his full effort earlier, he could have stopped them. But he didn't go all out because he wanted to win first place this time. The next level only had three people left, and he wouldn't have had any confidence fighting two against one.
The lords who had reached this stage were all top-tier existences at the peak of the Yuanshen realm.
So, when he saw Yang Feilong and Qing Luan teaming up against Xue Ying Mo Lang, his thought was that Xue Ying Mo Lang's death was acceptable as long as Yang Feilong and Qing Luan Alice were heavily injured. In the end, his decision proved correct.
Though not critically wounded, both of them were indeed injured.
Now was the perfect time to kill Yang Feilong.
Seeing Yang Feilong being held back, Xue Wen Mo Yuan also attacked Yang Feilong. Even though Xue Wen Mo Yuan knew he wouldn't easily get first place by killing Yang Feilong, he would have no chance of entering the top three if he didn't. Qing Luan Alice turned her head and her expression changed drastically; she immediately flew back!
While they wouldn't truly die here, she couldn't just watch Yang Feilong perish.
Boom! Boom!
Alice, holding her long sword, slashed at the dense golden threads, trying to help Yang Feilong break free!
However, the golden threads were incredibly powerful, and she couldn't cut through them for a while!
This made Qing Luan Alice anxious.
At this very moment, Yang Feilong couldn't help but sigh. He had originally hoped to win first place without revealing his trump cards, but it seemed that wasn't going to happen anymore!
Whoosh!
With a flash of light, his long sword was instantly switched. What was previously a high-grade spirit artifact, the Shan Hai Sword, was now replaced by the Ji Feng Lei Huo Sword.
The Ji Feng Lei Huo Sword was a top-tier supreme spirit artifact, something even some top-tier Void Refinement realm cultivators didn't possess. Such a treasure was incredibly rare, likely only held by two or three individuals in the Kilung Province.
If it weren't for the Seventh Princess being able to produce treasures of the level of spiritual treasures, he truly wouldn't want to use this one!
Seeing the spirit artifact in Yang Feilong's hand, Jin Si Zhizhu's expression changed drastically. A flicker of greed flashed in his fearful eyes.
He could naturally tell that the spirit artifact in Yang Feilong's hand was extraordinary!
Whoosh!
Wielding the Ji Feng Lei Huo Sword, Yang Feilong's combat power soared. With a single slash, lightning flashed, and terrifying flames directly incinerated the sky-filling golden threads.
With that same sword strike, he sent the astonished Xue Wen Mo Yuan flying.
Qing Luan, holding the Feng Huo Sword, followed up with a strike at Xue Wen Mo Yuan!
Whoosh!
After Yang Feilong sent Xue Wen Mo Yuan flying with a sword strike, he didn't pursue, but instead turned his sword towards Jin Si Zhizhu!
Boom! Boom!
Every sword strike was deadly. Although Yang Feilong had some injuries, they didn't significantly affect his strength!
"Damn it, how do you possess such a powerful supreme spirit artifact!" Jin Si Zhizhu's face was filled with unwillingness.
Amidst his reluctance, Jin Si Zhizhu tragically died at Yang Feilong's hands. With the supreme spirit artifact, Yang Feilong's combat power was now approaching that of a Void Refinement realm cultivator!
Almost simultaneously, Xue Wen Mo Yuan, who had been heavily injured by Yang Feilong's earlier strike, also met a tragic end in Qing Luan Alice's hands.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
With flashes of light, in the next moment, all four of them vanished from their positions.
Yang Feilong and Qing Luan appeared on the seventh level, while Xue Wen Mo Yuan and Jin Si Zhizhu were sent outside the tower.
"Xue Wen Mo Yuan and Jin Si Zhizhu were defeated simultaneously?"
"Are Yang Feilong and that Qing Luan that strong?"
Outside the tower.
Xue Ying Mo Lang looked at Xue Wen Mo Yuan and Jin Si Zhizhu, a mocking smile on his lips: "You guys plotted against me, and it backfired spectacularly!"
At the time, he was shocked by Yang Feilong and Qing Luan's intent to kill. Now, thinking back, Jin Si Zhizhu's golden threads were so powerful and fast; if he truly wanted to stop them, could he not have? It was impossible!
Hearing Xue Ying Mo Lang's words, Xue Wen Mo Yuan and Jin Si Zhizhu's expressions turned grim.
Especially Jin Si Zhizhu!
If he had known Yang Feilong and Qing Luan were so strong, he wouldn't have plotted against Xue Ying Mo Lang. The three of them together might have only been able to fight Yang Feilong and Qing Luan to a standstill!
But now, it was too late to say anything!
Inside the seventh level.
"Feilong, let's have a competition!" Qing Luan Alice looked at Yang Feilong, her face filled with excitement.
"What else is there to compete for?" Yang Feilong shrugged. "You take first place!"
He had no interest in a fight to the death with his woman, even if it wasn't a real death. He couldn't bring himself to do it!
"Alright then!"
Hearing Yang Feilong's words, Qing Luan Alice felt a bit regretful, but she didn't insist. After thinking about it, she realized she couldn't bring herself to strike Yang Feilong fatally. Moreover, her man had many treasures, and revealing too many wasn't a good thing!
"You're not competing anymore?" Just then, a voice echoed throughout the seventh level's space. It was the voice of the Seventh Princess.
"No more competing!" Both of them shook their heads.
"Very well, in that case, you will be ranked according to your current points!" Vira Duoduo's voice sounded again.
In the next moment, a force enveloped the two of them and sent them out of the spiritual treasure.
Because Qing Luan Alice had killed one more member of the top five than Yang Feilong, Qing Luan ultimately secured first place in the assessment, and Yang Feilong took second place!
Undoubtedly, Wanshan Commandery was also the undisputed first place!
With only two participants, they ultimately secured first and second place individually in this Commandery City Grand Competition. Although fewer people participated compared to many other commandery cities, their final commandery city ranking was the undisputed first, widening the gap by several times compared to the second place.
Following this was the awarding of prizes.
The first place prize was a supreme spirit artifact, with three choices available: saber, sword, or spear. Alice ultimately chose the sword. Yang Feilong, as the second place, received a top-grade spirit artifact, and he also chose a sword. Most of the women he knew practiced swordsmanship, and he intended to give it away anyway!
Watching Yang Feilong and Qing Luan standing together like a couple, many people showed envious expressions.
These two were the big winners!
Among the crowd was someone who was formerly from Wanshan Commandery: the Spotted Battle Tiger, who had nearly been killed by Qing Luan. Later, he followed Serpent Army to the provincial capital and became an apostle under Serpent Army.
To reach the level of envoy, even the weakest Yellow-grade envoy, one needed to possess the strength of the peak Yuanshen realm!
"If I were still in Wanshan Commandery, even if I were just a second-in-command, I could have gained so much this time!" Thinking of this, Spotted Battle Tiger regretted his past defiance towards Qing Luan Alice and the human Yang Feilong. Now, he realized how foolish he had been. The strength of these two, who could achieve first and second place in the assessments of dozens of commandery cities, was likely far greater than Serpent Army's.
Of course, it was too late to regret it now. At the time, he had no idea Yang Feilong and Qing Luan were so powerful!
