2178 Fair Opportunity Tang Peng circled around Yang Ruoxu continuously without attacking. However, it also meant that he could attack at any moment! A wrong judgment would result in serious injuries! Yang Ruoxu let out a long breath and suddenly closed his eyes. Wielding his sword with one hand, he seemed to have given up. At that moment, Su Zimo was also on the battlefield and could not escape. Suddenly! A warning flashed in Su Zimo’s mind. On the left! The moment that thought flashed through his mind, Yang Ruoxu had already attacked and stabbed to the left. At the same time, a golden light flashed and grabbed the blade of the sword, causing sparks to fly! Tang Peng did not stop after missing his attack and continued sprinting. Before long. A warning flashed through Su Zimo’s mind once more. At the same time, Yang Ruoxu attacked once more! Clang! The sword and claw collided and Tang Peng’s figure flashed, disappearing from Yang Ruoxu’s line of sight. Right from the beginning, Yang Ruoxu had not opened his eyes. Su Zimo lamented internally, secretly in awe. His spirit perception was inherited from Die Yue and he could determine the origin of the danger. Yang Ruoxu’s methods were extremely brilliant as well. Righteousness surrounded him, forming an invisible aura. As long as Tang Peng attacked, he would definitely disrupt the balance of the aura. Therefore, Yang Ruoxu could sense it right away! No matter how fast Tang Peng was, he could not match Yang Ruoxu’s sword. Therefore, right in front of many cultivators, the battle on the Sword Discourse Arena turned extremely strange. An indiscernible figure moved continuously at a speed that distorted the surrounding void. As for Yang Ruoxu, he wielded his sword with one hand and placed the other behind his back. Standing proudly, he stabbed out from time to time. With every thrust, the sound of metal clashing would echo from the Sword Discourse Arena. In ten minutes, Tang Peng had already attacked a hundred times. However, Yang Ruoxu did not move at all! “Senior Brother Tang, I know that you have a deep relationship with Senior Brother Pang. However, it’s not too late for us to spar after you confirm the exact details of this matter,” Right then, Yang Ruoxu suddenly spoke with his eyes closed, attracting exclamations! Everyone knew that they could not afford to be distracted in such an intense battle. A single mistake could result in death. However, Yang Ruoxu still had the strength to speak in such an intense battle. At the very least, it meant that Yang Ruoxu was at ease and still had strength left! “Senior Brother Tang, don’t fall for it! He’s trying to lure you into talking!” Yan Bingying stood out and sneered, “A life for a life. It’s only right. What’s there to say to a lowlife like you?!” It was only now that Su Zimo realized why Yang Ruoxu told him not to admit that he was the one who killed Pang Yu. That was because Yang Ruoxu knew that Fang Qingyun, Tang Peng, Yan Bingying and the others would definitely not let them off with Pang Yu’s death! These people were led by Fang Qingyun. In the inner sect, they had many feuds with Yang Ruoxu to begin with and could not stand one another, causing their conflicts to deepen. Pang Yu’s death intensified the conflict between both parties completely! Yang Ruoxu knew these people too well. They would not even bother to ask for the reason for Pang Yu’s death and would just fight right away. However, Su Zimo was only an outer sect disciple who had ascended from the lower worlds—there was no way he could defend against them. The root of this matter was his feud with Fang Qingyun and the other inner sect disciples; Su Zimo was implicated. There was naturally no way he would push Su Zimo into the center of the storm and let the latter endure the wrath of Fang Qingyun and the others. There was no way Su Zimo could withstand it! Clang! Clang! Clang! The sound of swords and claws clashing on the Sword Discourse Arena intensified. The fight between both parties was also approaching its climax! Tang Peng’s attacks turned increasingly ferocious and he was already using his full strength! He was naturally getting increasingly anxious after failing to take down Yang Ruoxu time and again. However, Yang Ruoxu’s eyes were closed the entire time and he was calm. Suddenly, Fang Qingyun shook his head and said softly, “Tang Peng is getting flustered. He’s going to lose soon.” Before his sentence was finished, Yang Ruoxu suddenly opened his eyes on the Sword Discourse Arena and hollered softly, “Hit!” Shing! ... A sword beam flashed past like lightning that tore through the night sky. It was incomparably stunning and brought with it a stream of grisly blood! The next moment, Yang Ruoxu retracted his sword. Tang Peng’s figure appeared and he clutched his chest with his right hand. Blood seeped out from the gaps between his fingers as he glared at Yang Ruoxu with hatred and indignance. Yang Ruoxu’s sword pierced his heart. Although Heaven Immortals could use Blood Rebirth, once blood qi entered their bodies and shattered their hearts, it would take at least ten breaths for them to recover completely. Victory was decided. “Yang Ruoxu, don’t be smug. Wait a moment, we’ll fight again!” Tang Peng grit his teeth and said. Yang Ruoxu frowned slightly and said coldly, “I’ve already shown mercy with my attack. The victor between us has been decided. If you continue to fight, won’t it seem dishonorable?” “Who cares about victory? I’ll fight you to the death!” Tang Peng’s killing intent did not diminish. ... “Life and death battles are not allowed on the Sword Discourse Arena!” Yang Ruoxu said in a deep voice. “Tang Peng, retreat,” Just as Tang Peng was about to speak, Fang Qingyun suddenly spoke and waved his hand gently, indicating for Tang Peng to leave. Although Tang Peng was indignant, he did not dare to disobey Fang Qingyun. He took a deep breath and turned to leave. In a flash, Fang Qingyun descended slowly and stood on the Sword Discourse Arena. Fang Qingyun did not exude any sharpness or terrifying stance. However, Su Zimo who was standing opposite him felt chills run down his spine! Even with Yang Ruoxu in front of him, he could not get rid of that frightening feeling! This person was very strong—there was no wonder why he was the number one of the inner sect! Su Zimo was secretly alarmed. Yang Ruoxu’s expression turned extremely grim as well and he tensed up. He gripped his sword so tightly that his knuckles turned pale. “Senior Brother Fang, are you going to attack too?” Yang Ruoxu glared at Fang Qingyun fixedly without daring to be distracted. “Don’t be nervous,” Fang Qingyun waved it off with an indifferent expression. “Indeed, life and death battles are not allowed on the Sword Discourse Arena. However, you’ll have to pay with your life for breaking the academy rules and killing Junior Brother Pang.” “This matter isn’t…” Yang Ruoxu explained. However, before he could finish, he was interrupted by Fang Qingyun. “I don’t want to hear any cause or reason. What I saw was that on the Sword Discourse Arena, you and Junior Brother Pang had already fought to the death and broke the academy rules.” “The academy rules alone are enough to justify your death!” “I…” Yang Ruoxu had just spoken. Fang Qingyun interrupted him once more and said, “Junior Brother Yang, I’ll give you a chance now to fight me fair and square. If you win, I won’t cause trouble for you in the future.” “You’ll die no matter what. At the very least, I’ll give you a dignified death in front of the disciples of the academy.” “Fufu,” Suddenly, Su Zimo laughed and said, “Senior Brother Fang, you make it sound like a fair opportunity. However, Senior Brother Yang has just fought against Pang Yu and Tang Peng. He has expended a lot of energy. How is that fair?
