Liao Meisheng was a member of the Sword Hall.
Similarly, he was also one of the participants in the Academy exchange!
His strength had already reached half-step into the Sea Flow Realm!
At the same time, Liao Meisheng was also one of the dispatched individuals.
As long as Ye Qiubai killed Ye Qiu and the others, Liao Meisheng would make his move to slay Ye Qiubai!
Yet, before he could seek him out, Ye Qiubai had already discovered him.
Faced with the sweeping sword qi,
Liao Meisheng put down his wine cup.
The power of the half-step Sea Flow Realm burst forth, unmistakably revealed!
Colliding incessantly with the black sword qi!
In this space, countless roaring sounds emanated!
If one looked closely, they could even see that the space where the swords clashed was distorting continuously!
"The Southern Barbarian has started fighting with Senior Brother Liao!"
"Senior Brother Liao is a member of the Academy exchange, not someone Ye Qiu can compare to!"
"This guy is way too arrogant!"
Suddenly, the wine cup in Liao Meisheng's hand was hit by the sword qi and shattered into fragments!
Liao Meisheng frowned slightly, his voice cold, "Are you truly seeking death?"
As the words fell, Liao Meisheng drew his longsword, slapped the ground with one palm, and the ground cracked as his body leapt up!
His longsword swung from below upwards towards Ye Qiubai.
Ye Qiubai's expression remained calm, his wooden sword blocking horizontally.
The two separated as soon as they touched.
For a moment, sword qi raged wildly between heaven and earth!
Liao Meisheng snorted coldly, stamped his feet, and shot towards Ye Qiubai once again!
Seeing this, Ye Qiubai also advanced to meet him.
Before he arrived, his sword led the way!
The tips of their swords collided, with strands of sword qi like tangible things, transforming into beams of sword qi shooting continuously!
Temporarily, neither could do anything to the other!
This made Liao Meisheng somewhat surprised.
You should know that his sword qi was extremely domineering due to the cultivation techniques he practiced!
There were very few who could confront it head-on!
Moreover, his realm was much higher than Ye Qiubai's!
No wonder he had been asked to take action.
Xin Hongyi, Huo Qingming, and others were also watching this scene intently.
Someone from the Eastern Region's Hidden Dao Academy said with interest, "Oh? The Southern Region has produced such a sword Dao prodigy?"
From the Western Region's Hidden Dao Academy, "There shouldn't be much Sword Dao inheritance in the Southern Region, this person must have taken as a master one who is extremely powerful in the realm of Sword Dao."
As Liao Meisheng realized that this move didn't give him any advantage, he became angry in his heart.
His longsword vibrated violently, he swiftly retreated and then slashed out with his sword!
A sword beam cut towards Ye Qiubai.
Above the sword beam, shrouded in strands of killing intent, its dominance was extremely fierce!
Ye Qiubai remained composed, with strands of black demonic qi rising from his wooden sword.
Nine Heavenly Demon Sword!
Immediately after, he met the sword beam head-on!
After the Blood Prison Mystic Realm's assessment by the Heavenly Demon,
Ye Qiubai's sword qi now carried strands of demonic nature.
This sword beam was filled with endless killing intent!
This was the result of Ye Qiubai's continuous slaying of faceless entities over several days.
Those around who felt this killing intent would lose their concentration in an instant!
Even Liao Meisheng, half-step into the Sea Flow Realm, couldn't help but tremble upon feeling this killing intent.
This also infuriated him greatly, as he was an existence that could slay those in the Sea Flow Realm!
Now, he was pressured to such a state by a Southern Barbarian, by someone in the intermediate stage of the Purple Mansion Realm?
How could he then show his face in the Academy!
The domineering sword beam and the black slash collided.
In between, there was black lightning spreading out in all directions!
Some people hurriedly pushed away.
Others held up defenses with both hands.
Just when everyone thought Liao Meisheng could overwhelm Ye Qiubai,
the domineering sword beam instead of directly shattering the slash, seemed to fall into disadvantage!
Within just a few breaths of time!
The domineering sword beam appeared to be devoured and vanished without a trace, with the black slash's momentum unabated, slashing towards Liao Meisheng once more!
At the same time, Ye Qiubai also did not sit idly by, forcefully pushed off the ground with his legs, utilizing the recoil to charge directly at Liao Meisheng, his wooden sword slashing out horizontally!
Liao Meisheng's expression changed drastically upon seeing this.
He snorted coldly and immediately met the challenge head-on.
What sword cultivator would ever be afraid?
Especially when facing someone of a lower realm than himself?
In the next moment, Liao Meisheng's figure actually split into three.
Three beams of sword light slashed towards Ye Qiubai from different directions!
These beams of sword light were not the afterimages of speed, but real!
Swallow Return!
Everyone from the Northern Region's Hidden Dao Academy knew that this was a sword technique Liao Meisheng had developed.
Its power was terrifying.
And it was inescapable!
One could only break it with sheer force!
Xin Hongyi, upon seeing this, couldn't help but be startled as well.
If it were her receiving this sword, she feared she would have to reveal her trump card to barely manage it.
However, if it were Ye Qiubai...
She wasn't worried, for she often sparred with Ye Qiubai back at the Academy.
Although Liao Meisheng's realm was much higher, given Ye Qiubai's current strength, he probably wasn't much of a challenge.
But to others who were unaware of this,
they already felt...
Ye Qiubai was doomed.
In the face of Liao Meisheng's Swallow Return, Ye Qiubai would have no chance or room to resist!
One of the sword beams collided with the black slash!
While the other two sword beams headed straight for Ye Qiubai!
Yet Ye Qiubai's face showed not the slightest hint of panic.
Unable to evade?
Ye Qiubai had never considered evasion.
The wooden sword in his hand erupted with demonic qi at this moment!
Waves of demonic nature affected the concentration of those around!
The third move of the Nine Heavenly Demon Sword!
Sword unleashed!
Demonic qi surged to the skies!
Liao Meisheng's face changed again!
Under this sword strike, he actually felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness!
The two sword beams came at him from left and right in quick succession!
Ye Qiubai made a sweeping cut!
The two sword beams shattered in an instant!
Liao Meisheng's face underwent a drastic change, and his longsword was raised in a hasty block.
But how could such a rushed defense stop Ye Qiubai's terrifying sword strike?
Ye Qiubai had no intention of stopping either.
Since you have decided to be a pawn for others,
be ready to be sacrificed at any time!
The crowd shouted in astonishment!
Others wanted to step forward to assist!
But obviously, it was too late for rescue!
Just as everyone believed Liao Meisheng was about to become a soul claimed by Ye Qiubai's sword,
a figure suddenly appeared between them!
Raising a sword to block!
Boom!
Threads of sword intent actually began to rise!
Ye Qiubai's sword was blocked!
"Sword intent?"
Ye Qiubai looked at the man in front of him, dressed in white robes with his long hair fluttering in the wind, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
No, it wasn't quite sword intent.
It was only brushing the threshold of sword intent, able to mobilize a bit of it.
Nevertheless, his cultivation was indeed much higher than his own.
Seeing the man before him, Liao Meisheng spoke with some shame, "Thank you, Senior Brother Jian, for the rescue."
Senior Brother Jian turned his head and gave Liao Meisheng a cold look.
"As a sword cultivator, how could you be used by others? After the Academy's exchange ends, go to Sword Peak and face the wall for ten years."
Liao Meisheng nodded, saluted with clasped hands, and without a trace of complaint.
This person was none other than the Northern Region's Hidden Dao Academy's strongest prodigy.
Jian Chaomian!
