Eternal Sacred King

The square was silent.

At the very least, the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect knew their limits when they joined forces to deal with Heaven and Earth Academy. They merely restrained disciples of the academy so that they could not interfere or help Su Zimo.

Although the elders of Heaven and Earth Academy were indignant, they could still endure it.

But now, the number one of Heaven and Earth Academy's outer sect, Ye Fei, was killed by Immortal Tai Hua!

The situation had escalated and was even out of control!

Even Heaven Immortal White Sea's eyelids twitched a few times in shock.

In order to not fall out too badly with Heaven and Earth Academy when the two factions joined forces to kill Su Zimo, he and Prince Yuan Zuo had instructed them not to harm the lives of anyone else from Heaven and Earth Academy.

However, he had not expected Ye Fei to be so resolute and would rather release the Lifespan Sacrifice Art than be controlled by others.

Furthermore, Ye Fei even spoke rudely to Immortal Tai Hua time and again.

Immortal Tai Hua was the reincarnation of a Perfected Immortal. Although he was at the Earth Immortal realm, he possessed the pride and dignity of a Perfected Immortal!

He could not accept being cursed and spat blood at by Ye Fei in front of everyone. Unable to contain his killing intent any longer, he killed Ye Fei on the spot!

Bang!

The elders of Heaven and Earth Academy slammed the table and stood up with enraged expressions.

"White Sea, what's the meaning of this?!"

Elder Zhong was enraged and kicked away the table in front of him, sending it flying towards Flying Immortal Sect.

In the direction of Flying Immortal Sect, the cultivators led by Heaven Immortal White Sea and the others stood up one after another and placed their palms on their storage bags.

The situation between both parties was tense and a huge battle could break out at any moment!

"Everyone, calm down!"

Perfected Immortal Xie Ling released a thick Perfected Immortal pressure that enveloped the hall. Under such a vast and majestic pressure, neither party could attack.

He was hosting the 10,000 Year Meet this time round and naturally could not let the conflict between the two parties escalate into another fight between the Heaven Immortals.

Heaven Immortal White Sea gradually regained his composure and spread his folding fan, sneering coldly, "Elder Zhong, your academy disciple was the one who sent provocations repeatedly, resulting in his death. Immortal Tai Hua can't be blamed for this."

"Immortal Tai Hua is the reincarnation of a Perfected Immortal. Even I have to be respectful when I see him. How can he be insulted by an Earth Immortal?!"

Elder He's gaze was filled with hatred as he said coldly, "You mean to say that my academy disciple deserved to be killed?"

"I didn't say that,"

Heaven Immortal White Sea shrugged his shoulders slightly and said, "However, the rules of the Nine Heavens are that life and death battles are allowed. Flying Immortal Sect did not break the rules either."

Although everything that the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect had done up till now was shameless, it was indeed within the rules.

Prince Yuan Zuo raised his brow slightly as well and chimed in, "Why? Cultivators of other sects are allowed to die but not disciples of Heaven and Earth Academy?"

Heaven Immortal Green Peak coughed gently and said, "Up till this point of the elimination round, many disciples of sects and factions have died. I've never seen their seniors so agitated. Isn't the reaction of these few elders a little too exaggerated?"

"It's not that disciples of the academy can't die. It's that they can't die in such an unjust manner!"

Elder Zhong shouted, "If Tai Hua of Flying Immortal Sect had fought fairly with Ye Fei, I would have no objections even if Ye Fei died!"

"However, Tai Hua and the other two surrounded Ye Fei and sealed him first. Now that they killed him, so what if I had a huge reaction? Am I not allowed to speak up?!"

Heaven Immortal White Sea chuckled and said, "Elders, if cultivators of Flying Immortal Sect or the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom are killed, we won't say anything no matter what methods were used. No one can be blamed for their lack of competence."

"That's right!"

Prince Yuan Zuo smiled and nodded as well, adding.

"You guys!"

Elder Zhong was filled with rage but he had nowhere to vent it.

"Good man!"

At the side, Yun Ting suddenly raised his wine bowl and gestured in the direction of the Nine Heavens before spilling the wine on the ground.

"Elders, let's sit down and wait for the elimination round to end,"

Perfected Immortal Xie Ling said in a deep voice, "I believe that Immortal Tai Hua killed Ye Fei by accident in a moment of impulse."

"At the very least, up till now, the other disciples of Heaven and Earth Academy have not been injured."

The elders of Heaven and Earth Academy had ashen expressions and refused to sit back. They stood on the spot and continued looking at the Nine Heavens.

...

In front of the Earth Ranking stele.

When Immortal Tai Hua killed Ye Fei, everything happened so suddenly that the surrounding cultivators were shocked!

Even the cultivators of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect were stunned for a moment and could not react.

"Oo, Oo!"

Princess Scarlet Rainbow's eyes were bloodshot and she had a pained expression as she cried continuously.

The other disciples of the academy that were restrained had sorrowful expressions as well.

Far away, Liu Ping was shocked when he saw that!

This scene had a huge impact on him!

Initially, he came here with joy and excitement, prepared to carve his name on the Earth Ranking stele, only to witness this scene.

He was completely unprepared.

Thereafter, Liu Ping finally realized what happened.

'Senior Brother Ye is dead!'

'Immortal Tai Hua and the others are going to attack Junior Brother Su here!'

'I have to inform Junior Brother Su and not let him ascend!'

Those thoughts flashed through Liu Ping's mind.

Right on the heels of that, Liu Ping grit his teeth and spun around, sprinting back the way he came!

His blood qi surged and he released all his divine powers and secret skills, channeling his speed to its limits!

"Mmm?"

Tie Han's expression changed and he realized right away that there was a disciple of Heaven and Earth Academy not restrained by them.

Tie Han sped towards Liu Ping.

Although he had wasted some time at Level 2, he was still able to catch up and be ranked fourth on the Earth Ranking stele. One could imagine the speed of his movement techniques.

Although Liu Ping left first, Tie Han caught up to him not long after!

A chilling intent came from behind.

Without turning back, Liu Ping could sense that Tie Han was getting closer and closer!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Tie Han waved his hand and gathered his Essence Qi, releasing a few ice blades that were as thin as cicada wings. Instantly, they tore through the air and slashed towards Liu Ping's back!

Liu Ping conjured divine powers and Dharmic arts as he sprinted.

Bang! Bang!

The two of them clashed and the ice blades were extremely sharp, slicing Liu Ping's divine powers into pieces!

Poof! Poof! Poof!

Although the few ice blades did not hit Liu Ping's vitals, they caused his body to tremble slightly and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The mouthful of blood was filled with ice shards and his nose and mouth were filled with cold air!

The difference between them was too great.

Liu Ping widened his eyes and forced himself to focus. Ignoring his injuries, he continued sprinting forward.

Although the power of the ice blades weakened, they still had a huge impact on his body.

As time passed by, Liu Ping felt his limbs turn colder as he shivered continuously; even his hair and brows were covered by a layer of frost.

The blood qi in his body circulated slower and even showed signs of freezing.

"I don't want to kill you, but you had better stop in your tracks lest the coldness infiltrates your organs and bones and damages your foundation,"

Tie Han's emotionless voice sounded beside Liu Ping. "If my ice blades invade your consciousness, even Perfected Immortals won't be able to save you!"
