Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 63: Fellow classmates, youth no more, we meet again with frost on our temples

"There is really a poisonous Jiao dragon in the city!"

In the center of the immortal realm, the teachers from the four major academies exclaimed in surprise and looked out the window, but they did not see the girl on the head of the dragon.

The girl seemed to have never existed!

Someone exclaimed, "The poisonous Jiao dragon has appeared. Could it be true that the news from Zuoshiba is true?"

"Impossible! Jiao dragons are powerful divine beasts, and poisonous Jiao dragons are rare and unusual. How could they have such a strange name as 'Quan Cun Chi Fan'?"

"Just call out to him and you'll find out, won't you?"

A teacher pushed open the window and flew out, standing on the eaves and shouting loudly, "Quan Cun Chi Fan--"

The poisonous Jiao dragon, who was fighting against Master Tu Ming and Idle Cloud Taoist, forced the two of them back. A loud and clear voice, like thunder, exploded in front of the immortal realm: "Who calls my milk name?"

The thunder shook the hundred or so windows of the immortal realm violently, the window sashes opened, making a loud noise, and the air wave even rushed over!

Several teachers pressed their hands on the windows, and various strange patterns appeared on the window sashes, gradually becoming bright, and the shaking of the immortal realm stopped immediately.

- The buildings in Shuofang City were originally built according to the specifications of spiritual weapons. It is said that if the qi and blood are strong enough, they can even be used as spiritual weapons.

"It seems that we misunderstood Zuoshiba. There really is a Jiao dragon named Quan Cun Chi Fan!" The teacher on the eaves laughed.

Before he could finish his sentence, a sword light flew towards him.

The teacher was extraordinary, and immediately jumped up to avoid the sword light. Wherever the sword light passed, the eaves exploded, and rocks flew everywhere.

"The buildings in Shuofang can also be blown up. The power of this sword is amazing!" The teacher was surprised.

He hadn't had a chance to catch his breath when the sword light flew out of the dust and came at him like lightning. He quickly urged his spiritual power, and a pill furnace appeared behind him. Flames roared out of the furnace, forming a thick fiery shield around him!

The sword light pierced through the fiery shield with a hiss, but was slowed down by the shield. The teacher dodged to the side, but his skin was injured. He thought, "This small injury... is poisonous!"

He immediately felt half of his body lose consciousness, unable to control his qi, blood, and spiritual power. He fell down without a word.

A teacher rushed out of the immortal realm and caught the falling teacher. The teacher's face was black, and he was gasping for breath. The teacher couldn't help but exclaim, "Such strong poison! Get a doctor quickly!"

On the other side, several teachers opened the windows, leaped out, stepped on the edge of the eaves, and jumped onto the back of the Tianlin Shangjing map, rushing towards the poisonous Jiao dragon.At this moment, Tianlin Shangjingtu had already included the three thousand scholars on this platform in the picture. The picture was like a land facing downwards, slowly rising.

Those several teachers were running on the back of the land at an extremely fast speed.

Suddenly, the sound of a sword whistle came from behind them. The several teachers hurriedly turned their heads, only to see that the sword light was a hollow bone sword.

Because of its lighter weight, the bone sword's flying speed was much faster than that of ordinary spiritual weapons, and the air passing through the hollow sword body emitted a sharp whistle.

The two remaining teachers stayed behind to deal with the bone sword, while the other two continued to rush towards the Poisonous Flood Dragon.

The two remaining teachers each activated their spiritual abilities. One of them should be a Confucian scholar, with a golden book appearing in front of him. The golden book opened with a "swish," and the scholar took out a two-foot-long golden pen. With a wave of the pen, golden words poured out.

Those words turned into golden-armored soldiers and horses, galloping in the air. The sound of recitation was loud, turning into the clamor of chariots and horses and the killing intent filled the sky, all rushing towards the bone sword!

The other teacher had bricks and tiles flying behind him, beams and pillars standing up, and pavilions and towers quickly formed. A treasure tower fell from the sky, ready to suppress the bone sword!

Both of these teachers were extraordinary, but the bone sword was too fast. It whistled past them before their spiritual abilities could fully erupt, avoiding their spiritual abilities!

"Bad!"

The two of them suddenly realized that things were not good and flipped over at the same time.

The Confucian scholar flew across the Tianlin Shangjingtu like a swift swallow, spreading his robe sleeves and flying over. Then he was hit by the sword, grunting and falling to the ground, sliding more than ten feet on the picture before stopping.

In the instant that the other teacher flipped over, bricks and tiles flew around his body, forming an airtight cage that bound him inside.

The bone sword hit the cage with a "ding," but couldn't pierce it. The sword light circled lightly and flew away.

The teacher breathed a sigh of relief and dispersed the cage.

He had just withdrawn the blood and qi in his spiritual abilities when his face suddenly changed: "There is poison in my blood and qi!"

His face immediately turned black, and he fell down without a word.

Spiritual abilities were driven by blood and qi. When the bone sword pierced his cage spiritual ability, the poison in the bone sword also fell on his spiritual ability. When he withdrew the blood and qi in his spiritual ability, he took the poison into his body. It was strange if he wasn't poisoned!

In the instant that this teacher fell to the ground, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the other two teachers in front of him also falling to the sword light.

There was a commotion in the Immortal's Residence, and everyone came to the window. In this short moment, five teachers had fallen. The Poisonous Flood Dragon indeed had the power to make the whole village suffer!

However, the strength of Master Tu Ming and Idle Cloud Taoist was also surprising. The two of them were not well-known in the academy of Shuofang City and were not famous experts.But these two people can force out the Poisonous Jiao, and they still look calm after battling it, as if they are not putting in much effort. On the other hand, the other famous Xixi teachers, who are much more well-known than them, cannot compete against the Poisonous Jiao's sword.

It can be seen that these two people's strength is much greater than their reputation.

"I have seen this Jiao dragon!"

Next to Tong Qingyun, a Confucian scholar whispered, "Master, this Poisonous Jiao dragon is the one I encountered in the Tian Shi Yuan no man's land! That Jiao dragon was also called the village's food by the monsters in the no man's land. However, at that time, its strength was far from what it is now."

The scholar was none other than Tong Xuan, who had once used his writing to chase Su Yun.

Tong Qingyun frowned and looked out the window. He saw the black Poisonous Jiao being suppressed and fought by Master Tu Ming and Idle Cloud Taoist when the bone sword flew out. When the bone sword flew back, Tu Ming and Idle Cloud Taoist ran away without paying attention to the Poisonous Jiao.

"These two people's background is suspicious..." Tong Qingyun thought to himself.

"The strength of the village's food has increased by more than ten times!"

Tong Xuan continued, "Has he been possessed by a demon?"

Tong Qingyun's eyes flickered as he whispered, "No. He should have received guidance from a demon, and his cultivation has greatly improved. The demon has not possessed him yet. The demon needs a sacrifice, and the more people die, the stronger the demon's power becomes. It seems that there is really a demon in the Shuofang City, and it is nearby..."

Suddenly, the Wen Chang Xue Gong's deputy, Zuo Songyan, shouted, "Everyone, it's not too late to stop the exam now! Let all the Xixi teachers stop the sacrificial ritual immediately!"

Wen Lianfang and Tian Wuji hesitated.

Tong Qingyun snorted and stood up, giving off a strong sense of oppression. "Do you think a mere demon can run wild in Shuofang? Zuo Songyan, you are too conservative. Stopping the exam now will only startle the snake and let the demon escape into the city. How many people are in the city? It will only cause greater destruction! On the contrary, if the demon enters the ten Jinxiu maps, it will be easier to search for it!"

The deputy of many academies nodded one after another.

If the demon leaves here and possesses someone in another part of the city, it will be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Tong Qingyun looked around and said in a deep voice, "Leave the demon here, in the ten Jinxiu maps. It will be like catching a turtle in a jar for us. Gentlemen, go and capture this village's food, and others keep a close eye on the changes in the Jinxiu maps."

The Xixi teachers jumped up one after another and headed towards the Poisonous Jiao, Jiao Shu'ao.

Zuo Songyan frowned deeply, and at this time, Qiu Shuijing stood up behind him.Zuo Songyan had already recognized him and involuntarily stiffened his body, saying, "Qiu Shuijing, the imperial teacher of the Tian Dao Academy in Dongdu, Mr. Shuijing, or maybe I should call you 'older brother' since we were classmates. I have grown old, but you still look young and have no signs of aging."

Qiu Shuijing said leisurely, "Zuo Songyan, I am not your older brother. When we went to take the Tian Dao Academy exam together, I was notified the next day that I had passed, while you had been taking the exam for five years and still failed. We were not classmates in the same school, so there's no need to call each other 'older brother' or 'younger brother'."

Zuo Songyan's white hair trembled, whether from anger or the wind, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I heard that you left to study abroad in another country, so I didn't take the exam. I also went to study abroad, or else with my talent, I could have passed the exam! Don't you find it unfair? You worked so hard to take the Tian Dao Academy exam just to study abroad, but I didn't have to take the exam and still went to study abroad!"

Qiu Shuijing was not at all angered by him and smiled, "I heard about this. When I studied abroad, I went to the best academy for the Se Mu people and traveled between various academies to learn the best knowledge of the Se Mu people. The Emperor of Dongdu was responsible for all the expenses along the way. When you studied abroad, it seems that you were washing dishes for others while studying."

Zuo Songyan pouted and glared.

"But I admire you."

Qiu Shuijing sincerely said, "Your talent is not as good as mine, but you make up for it with hard work and have achieved no less than me."

Zuo Songyan was stunned and suddenly felt a sense of relief from his heart. He laughed and said, "To hear Qiu Shuijing say that he admires me, I have no regrets in this life."

They were both scholars from Shuofang and often ranked first and second. Of course, Qiu Shuijing was first and Zuo Songyan was second.

Zuo Songyan had always been dissatisfied with Qiu Shuijing and was determined to surpass him and get first place once. Hearing a word of admiration from him was his lifelong pursuit.

Therefore, when Qiu Shuijing went to participate in the Tian Dao Academy exam in Dongdu, Zuo Songyan also went. Qiu Shuijing passed the exam and entered the academy, while he had been taking the exam for five years and still failed.

The Tian Dao Academy had become his lifelong obsession, to the point where he had not completely resolved this obsession until now.

But Qiu Shuijing's word of admiration made his obsession disappear and he felt his mind open and his heart clear.

"Shuijing, what's your view on human demons?" Zuo Songyan asked.

"At present, this human demon's strength is not strong, but it is more troublesome. It is not a newly born human demon, but has existed for a long time. It has wisdom and set up a suspicion formation, trying to trap us with the whole village's food."

Qiu Shuijing's gaze fell on the dragon Jiao Shu'Ao, who was fighting against many Western teachers on the Tianlin Shangjing map. The dragon was running like the wind and was not at all inferior to more than ten Western teachers.

Zuo Songyan's face changed drastically, "Are you saying..."Qiu Shuijing looked down at the Tianlin Shangjing map below, his eyes flashing: "It knows it needs slaughter, it needs more blood to condense its flesh, so it needs to start a great turmoil to enhance its strength. But before that, it needs a body."

"Its goal is to select the strongest and most potential body to be reborn."

Qiu Shuijing's eyes flickered with an unclear meaning, and he whispered, "Defeat the strongest among the thirty thousand scholars, that person is its target. After it is reborn, it will unleash slaughter and become stronger and stronger."

"The first among the thirty thousand scholars?" Zuo Songyan's face was solemn, and Su Yun's face appeared in his mind.

Tianlin Shangjing map.

Su Yun stood by the lake, retracting his gaze.

In front of him, hundreds of scholars blocked all his ways out, leaving only the Tianlin Lake behind him.

"I also have a cultivation realm sealed, and I have to fight with these scholars who are one realm lower than me someday."

Su Yun was a little helpless: "How can I make them retreat? Forget it, let's just kill them directly."
