He Qingzhe and the others stared in astonishment as Guo Wei’s severed head rolled on the ground.

Guo Wei was an unusual genius with five Sword Hearts congealed, and he possessed the ancient bloodline of the Dragon God. Yang Xiaotian had just killed him without hesitation!

Moreover, He Qingzhe had just warned Yang Xiaotian, telling him that Guo Wei had been selected as a seed disciple by the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect in advance, yet Yang Xiaotian still killed him without any hesitation.

Looking at Guo Wei’s head with its wide, bulging eyes, everyone’s hearts were profoundly shaken.

Guo Wei had been hailed as one of the most talented geniuses that Tiandou Academy had ever seen, even having the potential to break through to the Divine Spirit Realm in the future, yet now he lay dead before them.

“He’s gone mad!” Tang Lin muttered, referring to Yang Xiaotian.

Since Guo Wei had already been selected as a seed disciple by the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, it was clear that someone high up in the sect favored him. Now, Yang Xiaotian had killed him!

This was tantamount to piercing the heavens.

After Yang Xiaotian killed Guo Wei, he expressionlessly walked towards Xiao Yong.

Xiao Yong, upon seeing Yang Xiaotian approaching with his sword, had his courage shattered and was utterly panic-stricken. “Yang Xiaotian, our fight was just a normal spar, you can’t kill me, you can’t!” By the end, he was almost begging, his voice unclear because of his terror.

“A normal spar?” Yang Xiaotian sneered.

The three had clearly intended to put him to death.

A normal spar?

Just as Xiao Yong was about to speak again, Yang Xiaotian swung his Emperor Sword.

Xiao Yong’s head fell to the ground.

Blood sprayed high from Xiao Yong’s neck, splattering all over Lin Xiao’s face.

Lin Xiao almost suffocated, overwhelmed by the heat of Xiao Yong’s blood.

When he saw Yang Xiaotian approaching him with his sword, Lin Xiao was terror-stricken and tried to struggle to his feet, but he found himself completely devoid of strength.

He was born with a Thousandfold Divine Body, possessing immense strength capable of moving mountains and diverting rivers, yet now he couldn’t even get up.

“Yang Xiaotian, we were only acting on others’ orders,” Lin Xiao said tremulously.

Yang Xiaotian swung his Green Sea Sword.

Lin Xiao’s head soared into the air.

Perhaps due to the force used, Lin Xiao’s head was thrown higher than those of Guo Wei and Xiao Yong.

As Yang Xiaotian decapitated Guo Wei, Xiao Yong, and Lin Xiao in succession, the crowd was too shocked to speak. Even Zhong Lei, who had just proclaimed that Yang Xiaotian would lose and boasted that he would sever his own finger if Yang Xiaotian won, had fallen silent.

“Is this a declaration of war against the Tiandou Imperial Family?” a student whispered.

Xiao Yong was the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom.

And he was valued by His Majesty Tiandou.

Yang Xiaotian had publicly beheaded him; could the Tiandou Imperial Family let this pass?

Afterward, Yang Xiaotian chopped off the head of Zhu Yan, the Three-Eyed Demon Tiger, took the belongings from the bodies of the three he had killed, and then left.

Watching Yang Xiaotian’s retreating figure, the plaza fell into utter silence, without a single sound.

“Zhong Yun must be heartbroken.” Tang Lin looked at Guo Wei’s body and commented with complex emotion.

It was well-known throughout the academy that Zhong Yun cherished Guo Wei so deeply that he tirelessly mentored Guo Wei’s cultivation and even fed him the precious True Dragon Blood that he had been collecting for many years.

He even brought out the Sword Stele from the Death Sword Tomb for Guo Wei to comprehend.

But now, just a few days after Guo Wei had congealed his fifth Sword Heart, he was dead!

As everyone imagined, upon learning of Guo Wei’s beheading, Zhong Yun felt as if his heart had been violently struck. He couldn’t sit still, his rear end knocking the nearby stools into disarray.

Zhong Yun suddenly roared.

Within his roar was a fierce killing intent and hatred.

The students passing by Zhong Yun’s courtyard were terrified half to death by his roar.

“Yang Xiaotian!” Zhong Yun bellowed, with bloodshot eyes. He fiercely thrust his claw into a nearby stone seat, pulverizing it, as if the stone seat were Yang Xiaotian.

“`

After a long time, forcefully suppressing the murderous intent in his heart, he arrived at Xie Hong’s courtyard.

Fan Riquan was also there.

As soon as Zhong Yun arrived, he demanded that Xie Hong expel Yang Xiaotian.

“What, expel Yang Xiaotian?” Xie Hong frowned upon hearing this.

“Exactly, Guo Wei and the other two were our academy’s unparalleled geniuses. In a normal competition with Yang Xiaotian, they were killed by him. Yang Xiaotian has a nature of devouring and killing, and has apparently fallen into demonhood. If we keep him in the academy, I fear he will lay hands on other students!” Zhong Yun’s voice was cold.

Fan Riquan spoke in a deep voice, “Fallen into demonhood? Great Elder, aren’t you exaggerating? As far as I know, it was Guo Wei and the others who, under the guise of a friendly match, attempted to gang up and kill Yang Xiaotian, but were instead killed by him in self-defense.”

Zhong Yun looked at Fan Riquan with a ferocious gaze, “Are you suggesting that Guo Wei and the others got what they deserved?” As he spoke, he suddenly threw a punch at Fan Riquan and bellowed, “Fan Riquan, I think you, just like Yang Xiaotian, have already fallen into demonhood!”

…

After leaving Tiandou Academy, Yang Xiaotian returned to his residence and began to grasp the Emperor Sword and the Green Sea Sword.

With Guo Wei dead, the Emperor Sword and Green Sea Sword were masterless. Yang Xiaotian found it easy to study them, and by nightfall, he had already gained a preliminary control over them.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

At this time, there were only twenty days left until the Empire Pharmacist Competition.

Yang Xiaotian, Wu Qi, Luo Qing, and others set off on their journey toward the Imperial Capital of the Empire.

Considering that Yang Ling’er might also come to the Empire Pharmacist Competition, Yang Chao and Huang Ying also accompanied Xiaotian to the Imperial Capital.

“Young Master, I heard that a few days ago, Zhong Yun went and made a scene at Xie Hong’s place, asking him to expel you from the Tiandou Academy,” Luo Qing said along the way.

“Expel me?” Yang Xiaotian’s expression turned cold.

“Yes, Zhong Yun claimed you had fallen into demonhood and demanded Xie Hong expel you. Because of this, he even had a big fight with Vice Chancellor Fan,” Luo Qing said. After hesitating for a moment, he added, “I also found out that Zhong Yun and some masters from the Tiandou Imperial Family went to the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect.”

“With Guo Wei’s incident, the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect is likely not going to let things go easily.”

Yang Xiaotian nodded.

However, the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect probably wouldn’t send someone from the Saint Realm just for a person like Guo Wei.

Of course, even if a Saint Realm did come, he was not afraid.

The journey was uneventful.

After more than ten days, they finally arrived at the Divine Dragon Empire’s Imperial Capital.

Beholding the towering magnificence of the Empire’s Imperial Capital, everyone was excited.

Even the usually expressionless Wu Qi was visibly excited.

To many people, the Imperial Capital of the Divine Dragon Empire was a sacred place, representing supreme glory.

In their excitement, Yang Xiaotian led the group into the Imperial Capital.

The first impression the Imperial Capital gave Yang Xiaotian was of grandeur.

The streets were extremely wide, and the surrounding buildings were tall, splendid, and carried an air of ancient times.

Among them, one felt as insignificant as an ant.

At a single glance, one could see strong individuals from all directions, densely packed, bustling about incessantly.

Bustling yet orderly.

A sense of ultimate prosperity naturally arose.

“Everyone, make way! It’s the Sky-Stepping Sect! The masters of the Sky-Stepping Sect have arrived!”

Just as Yang Xiaotian was surveying the Imperial Capital, a sudden intense commotion stirred among the crowd behind him.

A large group of masters rode their Mount Beasts in a continuous stream into the city gates of the Imperial Capital.

For this Empire Pharmacist Competition, the masters from the ten Supreme Sects of the Empire, including the Sky-Stepping Sect, had all come.

Among the masters from the Sky-Stepping Sect, at the forefront were two young men, one of whom was Zhu Xuan.
