"I, Long Yi, do as I please, and no one else has the right to interfere!" Long Yi's expression was icy. "You want to stand up for him? Have you considered the consequences?"
Long Er took a few steps back. "Senior Sister, rest assured, I am not trying to stand up for him!"
"If that's the case, then step aside!"
Long Yi said coldly. As the eldest disciple of Cang Long Academy, the aura she exuded was not something ordinary people could compare to.
Long San's face turned ashen. If Long Yi truly intended to kill him, he would be utterly incapable of resisting, as they were not on the same level. At the very least, if they were to fight, he wouldn't be able to contend with Long Yi.
"When we were in Chu Zhou, I warned you. You truly haven't learned your lesson!"
Long Yi said coldly. "Don't think that just because you are a disciple of Cang Long Academy, I won't do anything to you!"
"Senior Sister, I know I was wrong!"
Long San said quickly, glancing at Long Er. Now was the best opportunity; if it were missed, it would be troublesome.
Long Er looked at Long Yi's back and thrust her long sword forward. Before Long Yi could react, the sword pierced her shoulder, and blood instantly flowed.
At that very moment, numerous figures appeared, surrounding Long Yi completely.
"You dare to attack me!"
Long Yi clutched her wound, her face instantly turning pale. She had never imagined that someone would stab her in the back. This was an immense humiliation for her.
"Eldest Senior Sister, you've lorded over us enough at Cang Long Academy!"
Long Er chuckled. "Isn't it time to consider giving up your position? I'd like a turn to sit there!"
"You are already at the end of your rope. It's best to surrender obediently!"
Long San sneered. "Did you think I would lure you here for no reason!"
"As expected, despicable and venomous!"
Long Yi's eyes became sharp. "To use such underhanded tactics, and yet claim to be a disciple of Cang Long Academy!"
"Eldest Senior Sister is powerful. If we were to confront her directly, we might not be able to defeat her," Long Er said with a smile. "We could only resort to some tricks. It's a pity you trusted us too much and fell for this." Su Dan Novel Network
"You are right. It is because I trusted you too much that this has happened!"
Long Yi said coldly. "But do you think this will allow you to threaten me?"
"Eldest Senior Sister, don't you think you are still our match now?"
Long San sneered. "You are already at the end of your rope. If you force yourself to circulate your energy, you will only die faster!"
"A starved camel is still bigger than a horse. I want to see today who dares to court death!" Long Yi revealed a cold glint. "Whoever dares to take a step forward, I will take their life!"
"Let's all attack together. Don't be intimidated by him!" Long San said coldly. "He is at the end of his rope now and cannot harm you at all!"
Long Yi let out a cold laugh and unleashed a sword qi. Before a disciple could react, he was split in two, a rather terrifying scene.
The surrounding disciples instantly panicked. They were only at the War King level, and before a true War Emperor, they appeared so vulnerable. With just a single sword qi, they could be cut down.
"Eldest Senior Sister, if you cripple your own cultivation, I will not make things difficult for you!"
Long Er said. "This will allow you to live, but if you insist on being stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"If I cripple my own cultivation, would you really let me go?" Long Yi narrowed her eyes. "You would likely kill me outright."
"Eldest Senior Sister, why be so despairing? Regardless, we have sisterly affection. As long as you cripple your cultivation, we will not make things difficult for you!" Long San said with a smile.
"You think very highly of yourselves!"
Long Yi's voice was icy. She stomped on the ground, and her internal energy instantly dispersed.
Long Yi used this opportunity to escape. However, she had a wound that was worsening. If this continued, she would surely be intercepted by these people.
"Hurry up and chase! Don't let her get away!" Long San reminded. "If she recovers, we will all be doomed!"
Everyone nodded and quickly pursued, their expressions filled with panic. They knew clearly that if Long Yi did not die today, none of them would escape in the future.
Inside Jiang Jing Long Ting, Lu Fan frowned and looked towards a certain spot in Long Du. "It's already so late, why are there martial arts experts fighting?"
"How do you know?" Lin Ke asked in surprise.
"The aura of an expert is not so easily concealed!" Lu Fan stated directly.
"Mr. Lu, Long Yi is not in her room. Could something have happened this late?" Jiang Meili walked over.
"Not in her room?"
Lu Fan's expression changed. "It seems something has happened. I need to go out!"
"I'll go with you!" Lin Ke said repeatedly. "I can protect you too. I'm not what I used to be!"
"Since that's the case, let's go together!" Lu Fan nodded slightly.
Lin Ke's current strength was formidable; even he himself might not be able to injure her. Lu Fan naturally had no fear.
Not long after, Lu Fan arrived at a patch of woods and stopped.
"There's no one here. Why would Long Yi come here, especially at night?" Lin Ke asked curiously.
"There's blood here. It shouldn't be long ago," Lu Fan frowned. "If Long Yi were fine, she would have returned to Jiang Jing Long Ting. But she hasn't returned. This blood is likely hers!"
"Then what should we do?" Lin Ke asked worriedly. "I don't want anything to happen to her!"
"Follow the bloodstains, and we'll find her whereabouts!" Lu Fan's expression was solemn.
Meanwhile, by a lake in Long Du, Long Yi was kneeling on the ground, completely exhausted. Her injuries had not been bandaged, and she had traveled so far, making her condition naturally more perilous.
"Eldest Senior Sister, you cannot escape our grasp!" Long San said with a faint smile. "I think you should just accept your fate!"
"If I weren't injured, you would be dead by now!" Long Yi said coldly. "I truly didn't expect you to be so insidious!"
"This is all thanks to you, Eldest Senior Sister. Originally, I could have gone to Cang Long Academy with the Starfall Stone, but you insisted on stopping me!" Long San said coldly. "This is your consequence!"
Long Yi said nothing more, but slowly adjusted her breathing. To escape her current predicament, the only way was to recover from her injuries as quickly as possible.
"We won't let you succeed in healing your injuries!"
Long San stepped forward abruptly, without any hesitation, and struck directly at Long Yi. He wanted to see how Long Yi, in her severely injured state, would respond.
Feeling the sharp gust of wind, Long Yi's palm, imbued with internal energy, instantly struck out. Her face was pale, and with the slightest misstep, she might fall unconscious. If that happened, her life would be in peril.
Boom...
A loud sound echoed, and Long San was violently sent flying, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. He was inwardly shocked. Long Yi, on the verge of death, still possessed such strength, which truly made him look at her with newfound respect.
"Are you alright?"
Long Er asked. "I truly didn't expect you to have such combat power even with such severe injuries."
