"But Elder Xintu, this brat is too cunning, and he possesses a high-grade True Artifact..."
"Stop making excuses for me! All of you, return immediately!"
Xintu directly berated them.
Xin Kun and Xin Yan did not dare to defy him and shamefully returned to Xintu's side.
Enraged, Xintu decided to personally eliminate Xin Ci.
He intended to eradicate this root of trouble for the Xin family.
With a raise of his hand, the sky instantly changed color, and a fierce wind began to rage.
The entire structure of the Four Symbols Academy trembled, and even the academy's defensive spirit shield was shattered by this powerful True Essence force.
The deans and disciples of the Four Symbols Academy were all thrown to the ground by the True Essence released by Xintu.
Mu Qingqing also felt that Xintu's strength was indeed formidable, incomparable to the Heavenly Venerate realm.
It seemed this Xintu was a truly formidable figure.
Elder Han also hurriedly transmitted a message to Mu Qingqing: "Little girl, the strength of this elder is immense; he has likely stepped into the Saint Emperor realm."
"Facing such a powerful enemy, we have no chance of winning. Saint Emperors are not easily dealt with!"
Within the consciousness space, Xin Ci also realized that Xintu was a Saint Emperor realm expert and gritted his teeth in tension.
He hadn't expected the Xin family to go to such lengths to eliminate him, even dispatching a Saint Emperor. They were truly ruthless.
Mu Qingqing was no stranger to the might of a Saint Emperor.
While the current Xintu was not comparable to the Star Emperor, he still possessed the formidable power of a one-star Saint Emperor.
Even if she transformed into her female form, she might not be able to defeat him.
"Die, you bastard of the Xin family!"
With Xintu's furious roar, a terrifying aura descended from the sky above the Four Symbols Academy.
This aura made everyone on the ground feel the threat of death.
Liu Yuanhao and other high-ranking figures of the academy were all aghast.
Was this the power of a Saint Emperor?
The clouds churned in the sky, lightning flashed and thundered, and a colossal True Essence palm, blotting out the sky, pressed down towards the Four Symbols Academy.
It seemed as if it intended to crush the entire academy.
"This… we're all doomed!"
"Quick, get out of here! No, get away from the Four Symbols Academy!"
"What do we do? With this palm strike, the entire Four Symbols Academy will be leveled!"
The disciples scattered in panic, their faces filled with terror.
However, how could the casual palm strike of a Saint Emperor be easily evaded?
Under the pressure of the True Essence giant palm, everyone in the Four Symbols Academy truly experienced the feeling of the apocalypse descending.
Seeing this, Liu Yuanhao and the others turned as pale as paper, their hearts filled with despair.
Was this the day the Four Symbols Academy would be destroyed?
In this situation, even if the Dean returned, he wouldn't be able to stop Xintu, a Saint Emperor realm expert.
Just as everyone believed their academy was about to be annihilated, a dark silhouette suddenly shot up into the sky.
It was Xin Ci!
In their eyes, they saw Xin Ci holding a dark red long sword, soaring towards the True Essence giant palm.
"Overconfident fool!"
Xintu sneered dismissively as he saw Xin Ci charging towards him.
Did a mere King realm cultivator dare to think he could resist this move?
After a cold laugh, Xintu casually reached out with one hand, and the True Essence giant palm directly grasped Xin Ci within its palm.
"Xin Ci!"
Liu Fuyao watched as Xin Ci was captured, her beautiful eyes welling up with tears.
She absolutely did not want anything to happen to Xin Ci.
Xintu, seeing this, was in high spirits.
This little beast had finally fallen into his hands.
He was about to crush Xin Ci when an astonishing sword intent erupted from within the True Essence giant palm.
"Boom!"
The True Essence giant palm shattered under this sword intent, dissolving into countless scattered light particles.
"What?"
Xintu's expression changed dramatically.
This was impossible! How could he, a dignified Saint Emperor realm expert, fail to kill a mere King realm cultivator with a single strike?
Was this brat truly a monstrous anomaly?
However, as the dust settled, he froze on the spot.
Because Xin Ci, who had been there moments ago, had somehow vanished. In his place stood a woman in white.
This woman was extraordinarily beautiful, especially her eyes, which sparkled like stars, as deep as the Milky Way.
A single glance at her would draw one in.
Moreover, this woman possessed the strength of a peak five-star Heavenly Venerate, and the ancient, dark red long sword in her hand was a top-grade True Artifact, exuding a sharp edge!
"Who are you?"
Xintu frowned and asked, looking at the woman who had suddenly appeared.
Although this woman's cultivation realm was lower than his, he could sense a trace of danger emanating from her.
It wasn't just Xintu who was puzzled; all the disciples within the Four Symbols Academy wore looks of confusion.
Who was this woman?
And where had Xin Ci gone?
Everything was too strange.
However, among them, only Liu Fuyao could vaguely guess the woman's identity.
From the distinctive Star Wheel Eyes, Liu Fuyao quickly deduced that this woman was Xin Ci!
She also noticed that this was not the first time this woman had appeared.
Previously, in the Sky Pit Mystic Realm, it was this woman who had defeated the Blood Ghost and saved the Four Symbols Academy.
However, upon seeing Mu Qingqing in mid-air, Liu Fuyao's heart was filled with another question.
Was Xin Ci a male or a female?
Xintu, suspended above the Four Symbols Academy, was utterly bewildered by the sudden appearance of this woman.
Mu Qingqing did not answer Xintu's question. Instead, she raised the Xuan Yang Sword in her hand.
The Undying Phoenix Flame coiled around the blade, and within this flame, the cry of a phoenix could faintly be heard.
Pure, supreme sword intent, combined with the Undying Phoenix Flame and the top-grade True Artifact Xuan Yang Sword, created a sky-shattering aura!
The Red Lotus Phoenix Sword!
With a single strike, it was like a phoenix soaring through the nine heavens.
Such a terrifying sword strike was sufficient to slay any expert below the Saint Emperor realm.
"Ignorant junior, do you truly believe you can kill me with just a top-grade True Artifact sword?"
Xintu sneered and waved his hand, unleashing another True Essence giant palm to meet Mu Qingqing's sword energy.
The two astonishing forces collided in mid-air, creating waves of energy that devastated the structures of the Four Symbols Academy.
"This is..."
Liu Yuanhao and the others watched the two figures in the sky with amazement, their faces filled with shock.
They hadn't expected this sudden appearance of a woman to be able to contend with a Saint Emperor expert!
Who was this woman?
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the two forces dissipated almost simultaneously.
Mu Qingqing's delicate face bore an indifferent expression as she looked at Xintu.
Indeed, a Saint Emperor realm expert was extraordinary!
She had used her Chain Law True Meaning, top-grade True Artifact, and Heavenly Earth Spirit Fire, yet she could only barely contend with Xintu.
More importantly, Xintu had only simply utilized the vast True Essence of the Saint Emperor realm.
His True Meaning, True Artifacts, and other means had not yet been employed.
Xintu, seeing this, was also slightly startled.
This young woman who had suddenly appeared had reached the peak five-star Heavenly Venerate realm at such a young age. Her talent was not inferior to the top geniuses within his family; in fact, it was even stronger.
It was likely that this woman's background was extraordinary, perhaps she was a disciple from a major power in the Central Continent!
"Young lady, I advise you not to oppose me. Hand over Xin Ci obediently, or do not blame me for showing no mercy!"
Xintu said coldly.
