With a roar, the madman Cao Yuan darted forward like lightning, his wooden sword flashing out as black flames slashed towards Instructor Han like a crescent moon.
With his hands empty, Instructor Han narrowed his eyes, rolled to the other side to avoid Crescent Moon, and at the same time picked up the straight knife that was on the ground.
With a soft hum, the straight sword was drawn!
With the blade in hand, Instructor Han's Aura instantly changed.
His deep gaze seemed to be able to see through the movements of the madman Cao Yuan. When the madman Cao Yuan flashed in front of him, he suddenly took half a step back, turned sideways and swung his knife out!
Clang—!
The wooden sword wreathed in black flames clashed with Instructor Han's straight sword, producing a metallic clang. The madman Cao Yuan grinned and suddenly exerted his strength!
Instructor Han's straight sword was deflected by the wooden sword, but he showed no panic. He accurately predicted the trajectory of the madman Cao Yuan's next strike, easily dodging it, and then retreated several steps, his eyes serious.
"Qiye, wasn't the Forbidden Ruins suppressed? How can Cao Yuan still use it?" Baili Pangpang leaned close to Lin Qiye's ear and asked in confusion.
"The higher the sequence of the forbidden ruins, the weaker the effect of the forbidden object in suppressing them. It can suppress other people's forbidden ruins well, but Cao Yuan's sequence is too high, so it cannot completely suppress him."
"Moreover, his forbidden artifact is quite unique; even he himself can't control it in his berserk state, so the effect of the forbidden artifact is even less significant." Lin Qiye stated his conjecture.
"Then the instructors' forbidden energy has also been suppressed?" Baili Pangpang seemed to have thought of something. "In other words, only Cao Yuan can use forbidden energy right now, while Instructor Han is fighting the crazed Cao Yuan purely with combat skills."
"That's extremely high risk!"
Lin Qiye did not answer, but simply watched the two fighting each other on the stage and fell silent.
"Everyone evacuate the training ground immediately!" Instructor Han and the madman Cao Yuan exchanged several blows. Han was forced back several steps by Cao Yuan's immense strength and said in a deep voice to the new recruits below.
With his keen eyesight, he naturally recognized the forbidden realm of the boy in front of him and also gained a preliminary understanding of the current situation. In any case, Cao Yuan was in too much danger right now. The new recruits who had been suppressed in the forbidden realm were just a group of ordinary people, and if they stayed any longer, something unexpected would inevitably happen.
"Damn it, I can't sense my own forbidden energy anymore..." Instructor Han gritted his teeth, constantly trying to unleash his forbidden energy, but there was no response whatsoever.
In his berserk state, Cao Yuan was a figure even Wang Mian found troublesome. Without time acceleration or Instructor Han's Yi Yuan, he was now relying purely on his combat experience and skills to deal with him.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Qiye and the others witnessed the true strength of this tragic instructor!
No matter how fast the crazed Cao Yuan was, Instructor Han could always predict his movements. The straight knife in his hand seemed to have a mind of its own, fluttering like a butterfly in his hand, accurately blocking every attack from Cao Yuan!
Unfortunately, he could block the attack, but he couldn't withstand the abnormal power and the murderous flames rushing towards him!
This battle was completely unfair.
Amidst the crazed laughter of Cao Yuan, Instructor Han could barely protect himself and was forced to retreat step by step.
"Yaoguang." Baili Pangpang put on the necklace, stretched out his chubby little hand, and pointed towards the martial arts stage.
The blinding golden light converged into a beam, flying out like a sharp arrow and crashing heavily into the blade of the wooden sword. Then, its form suddenly changed, transforming into a golden rope that bound the madman Cao Yuan.
The madman Cao Yuan roared a few times, and the black flames on his body burned brighter and brighter. In just two seconds, he burned through the ropes that Yao Guang had transformed into and broke free...
Then he turned to look at Baili Pangpang below the stage, revealing a ferocious expression.
Baili Pangpang's body trembled, he took half a step back, and swallowed hard...
"Brother Qiye, save me!"
Lin Qiye:...
"Give me a sword," Lin Qiye said helplessly.
"Huh? Okay!" Baili Pangpang reached into his pocket and quickly rummaged through it.
At this moment, the mad Cao Yuan had abandoned Instructor Han and completely changed his target, rushing towards Baili Pangpang and Lin Qiye!Instructor Han's expression changed drastically. "Run!!"
He kicked off with both legs and chased after the madman Cao Yuan toward the two of them.
Lin Qiye stood there with a slight frown, two faint golden lights appearing in his eyes, and a powerful aura emanated from him.
"Found it!" Baili Pangpang pulled a knife, about the same length as the Star Blade, from his pocket and handed it to Lin Qiye.
At this moment, the black flames of the madman Cao Yuan had already reached Lin Qiye's eyes!
The wooden sword, wreathed in malevolent flames, sliced through the air and swung straight toward Baili Pangpang's neck. Just then, a flash of white blade light appeared!
Swish—!
The wooden blade collided with the blade light, forcibly blocking the erosion of the Evil Qi flames. Lin Qiye twisted his wrist, parrying Cao Yuan's wooden blade.
Still shaken, Baili Pangpang stood behind Lin Qiye, patting his wildly beating heart.
"Damn it...you scared me to death!"
Lin Qiye let out a soft "hmm," looked down at the knife in his hand, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.
"I clearly didn't touch the wooden blade just now, why…"
"The Forbidden Ruin on this blade is called [Slaying White Minor], an artificial Forbidden Ruin. It is a replica of that divine weapon [Slaying White] with sequence 061. When striking, it can ignore a distance of five meters; it's not a very powerful Forbidden Object."
Baili Pangpang patted his belly, "That real [Zhanbai] is one of our family's treasures. It's said to be able to ignore distances of up to a thousand meters. Within a thousand meters, a single slash can behead everything."
"That's outrageous?" Lin Qiye asked in surprise as he played with Xiao Zhanbai for a moment.
"Of course! There are only a handful of forbidden items that our family keeps with such care. My dad guards them like treasures every day, and I can't even take a look at them."
"It works quite well."
Lin Qiye weighed Xiao Zhanbai in his hand and nodded in satisfaction.
The madman Cao Yuan let out a low roar, staring intently at Lin Qiye, and the baleful flames intertwined on the surface of his body intensified even more.
Lin Qiye noticed his gaze, snorted coldly, and glared back forcefully, two golden furnaces erupting from his eyes!
The boundless divine power poured directly into the mind of the madman Cao Yuan. He groaned, took a half step back, and his body swayed as if he were drunk.
"Hmm? It seems that Divine Might is surprisingly effective on this guy." Lin Qiye muttered to himself, turning to look at Baili Pangpang, "Give me that [Sealing Scroll] again."
"Okay." Baili Pangpang took out some tape from his pocket and placed it in Lin Qiye's hand.
Lin Qiye held Xiao Zhanbai in his right hand, gently tore open a section of the seal scroll on his left hand with his teeth, his eyes shining like the blazing sun, and rushed towards the madman Cao Yuan!
Five meters away from the mad Cao Yuan, Lin Qiye swung his Little White Blade several times, directly deflecting the wooden sword in Cao Yuan's hand!
Cao Yuan roared, his other hand curled into a claw, wrapped in malevolent flames, and grabbed at Lin Qiye's body with lightning speed!
Lin Qiye seemed to have completely seen through his movements. He crouched down slightly to avoid the claw, and then swung out the small white blade again, striking his elbow with the back of the blade!
Cao Yuan's wooden sword flew out of his hand!
"Xiao Chen!"
"Aye, Captain!" Lin Xi Chen raised her hand towards madman Cao Yuan, who was about to approach them. With a clench of her hand, the golden chain immediately bound Cao Yuan's limbs.
Lin Qiye swiftly turned around, the exposed part of the [Sealing Scroll] wrapped around his neck several times, completely blocking the black flames, and then suddenly pulled downwards!
The madman Cao Yuan fell to the ground with a thud!
