Qingyu of Horror

When Qing Yu's staff smashed down, Lu Yin felt a familiar sensation in his heart. It was reminiscent of the White Night Fist. Without hesitation, he transformed his palm into a claw and countered with the Seven-Form Heavenly Beast Claw.

Gules fired an arrow.

Baloro, Bai Xue, and Grannie simultaneously attacked. Everyone joined forces to withstand Qing Yu's strike.

With a loud bang, everyone was knocked back. Bai Xue, Grannie, Gules, and Baloro spat blood simultaneously; Qing Yu's attack was too fierce, and they struggled to hold their ground. Even Zhang Dingtian was pushed back over ten steps, leaving clear footprints in the ground with each step. Only Lu Yin managed to stay rooted, his legs driven into the earth, bearing the unimaginable pressure of Qing Yu's strike.

The iron staff disappeared, and Qing Yu stood ten meters away from Lu Yin, looking somewhat surprised. "Your strength is impressive. Although I retained only the power of the Explorer realm, being able to block my strike means you're quite good."

"Explorer?" several students, including Huo Xiaoling, exclaimed in surprise. Even Yan Gang and others hiding in the dark were shocked. Wasn't he supposed to be in the Fusion realm?

Qing Yu laughed loudly, "A bunch of fools, believing whatever you're told. If I were truly in the Fusion realm, what would be the point of this trial? Would the Great Yu Empire send you to your deaths? Explorer-level students naturally correspond to Explorer-level trials. You can only blame yourselves for being too stupid and too weak."

Angrily, Yan Gang rushed out, his palms generating flames that transformed into a long spear, thrusting towards Qing Yu.

Gules shouted, "The fugitive is here. Capture him, and the trial will be over. Our performance will be noticed by the Youth Council and the Tenth Academy. Everyone, attack together!"

Gules' words immediately took effect. All the students who dared to come here aimed to complete the trial and join the Tenth Academy. No one would give up, especially when Yan Gang took action. Everyone else followed, attacking Qing Yu.

Qing Yu was extremely arrogant. If he hadn't revealed his true power, most students wouldn't have dared to act. But he was too arrogant, making no effort to hide. An Explorer, no matter how strong, could still be defeated.

Qing Yu laughed wildly, "A bunch of pathetic trash. Let me show you what true strength is and let you experience the terror of the White Night Clan," he said, sweeping his staff horizontally, its black and white light flashing. In an instant, several students were struck, two of them cut in half, their blood spilling on the ground. Only Yan Gang's flame spear was shattered, his body slammed back over ten steps, pale-faced and shocked, "White Night Clan?"

Qing Yu's staff swept across, the terrifying shockwave cracking the ground, spewing lava that splashed on the surface, making the sky hot.

Yan Gang's pupils shrank in fear. White Night Clan, he was terrified.

Lu Yin told Zhang Dingtian and the others not to act. Qing Yu's willingness to reveal his strength indicated he had absolute confidence. This person was terrifying. Even if Lu Yin went all out, he wouldn't be a match. The difference in strength within the Explorer realm was this vast. What was this White Night Clan? He had never heard of them before the trial.

A cry of surprise sounded as several bound students fell into the crevices of the ground. Bai Xue immediately took action, freezing the ground to save them.

Qing Yu's staff smashed a student's long blade, sending the student flying. His gaze fell on Bai Xue, "An ice attribute talent? Woman, you are mine," he said, disappearing instantly.

The next moment, he appeared in front of Bai Xue, reaching out to grab her. Lu Yin used his flowing step technique, barely arriving in time to intercept with a palm strike.

The Heavenly Star Palm shattered three stars, the terrifying force stopping Qing Yu and pushing Bai Xue away.

Qing Yu was surprised, "What kind of battle technique is this?"

Lu Yin gritted his teeth and retreated quickly. He was not a match, absolutely not a match. Even with just Explorer-level power, Qing Yu far surpassed him.

Qing Yu sneered and chased, "A talented cultivator with unique battle techniques and cross-realm combat strength. You've piqued my interest. Interesting, haha."

Suddenly, a majestic power erupted in the field, sweeping the skies and clearing the clouds. The airflow threw everyone, including Lu Yin, off balance. In front, an unfamiliar man appeared before Qing Yu, striking his palms into Qing Yu's abdomen, "Die," he shouted. With a bang, Qing Yu was blasted away, embedding deep into the mountain wall.

Everyone stared in stunned silence. Was this a true Fusion realm expert?

Lu Yin was shocked. This was the power of the Fusion realm, and even Qing Yu couldn't react.

The stranger who had suddenly attacked turned and launched an attack towards Lu Yin, his eyes filled with a cold killing intent.

No one expected this, not even Lu Yin. Why was this person attacking him?

Facing a Fusion realm expert's deadly strike, Lu Yin's Heavenly Star Technique activated. He barely discerned the man's attack trajectory and shifted his body, narrowly avoiding the strike. The man missed, his attack shattering the ground and injuring several students with the aftermath, but it didn't hit Lu Yin.

The man was astonished and prepared to strike again when a beam of light from above enveloped him, forcibly interrupting his attack. The backflow of star energy injured him.

Everyone looked up. It was the monitoring station of the Great Yu Empire taking action. In the trial, any student breaking the seal and entering the Fusion realm would be disqualified. This person was clearly a Fusion realm student, now forcibly expelled from the trial grounds.

Lu Yin breathed heavily, his gaze sweeping over the forty-two captured students, finally landing on Ras. Ras's eyes were filled with hatred and a trace of regret. It was him. Among the captured students, only a few had the qualifications to command a Fusion realm expert, and Ras, who hated Lu Yin the most, was the most likely.

Lu Yin clenched his fist, wanting to eliminate this threat. Suddenly, a loud noise drew everyone's attention to the mountain wall. Qing Yu walked out of the dust, his face gloomy, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

Many hearts sank. Even a full-force strike from a Fusion realm expert couldn't kill him?

Qing Yu wiped the blood from his mouth and looked around coldly, a smile forming, "Very good. Sacrificing your achievements to deal with me, a commendable resolution. But there won't be a second time. A mere Fusion realm trying to kill me? Dream on. Today, all of you will die," he said, swinging his staff. The staff blotted out the sky, sweeping across with immense pressure, crushing several students to death.

Gules shouted, "He's injured. Attack now, we can still win."

Yan Gang, Mono, and other sealed Fusion realm experts attacked Qing Yu immediately.

Qing Yu laughed, "You want to win? I'll make you cry," he said, waving his hand. The distant ground lifted, revealing three bound figures.

Everyone stopped attacking, looking at the three with confused eyes.

Only Zhang Dingtian and Bai Xue's expressions changed dramatically, "Wang You, Tong Zhan, Liu Shaoge?"

Lu Yin was equally shocked. These three were among the seven saints of Huaxia, especially Wang You, one of the top three saints. How were they here? And Liu Shaoge was captured too.

Qing Yu grinned cruelly, looking at Lu Yin, "You insignificant worm dared to negotiate terms with me? You really thought I gave you ten days to gather these trash? It was to capture them. Anyone who negotiates with me must die. Before dying, I'll make you experience pain. Not only these three, but your capital, Jinling, Wucheng, and other places are also experiencing beast tides. This planet's apocalypse is my doing. So what? What can you do to me? Now, regret," he said, waving his hand, a sharp wind slicing off three heads.

Bai Xue's face turned deathly pale.

Zhang Dingtian's eyes widened, gripping his long blade, charging at Qing Yu.

Qing Yu sneered, his black and white hair flowing, pointing a finger. No one saw the finger clearly, but Zhang Dingtian was pierced through the chest and flung away. Qing Yu attacked the students, like a tiger among sheep, blood spilling everywhere.

Bai Xue, eyes red with rage, struck at Qing Yu. Qing Yu flicked his fingers, shattering the ice, grabbing Bai Xue's hair, taking a deep breath, "Smells good. Woman, you are mine," he said. At that moment, Lu Yin appeared, launching the Heavenly Beast Claw with his left hand and the Heavenly Star Palm with his right. Qing Yu's eyes flashed with seriousness. Among all present, only a few truly caught his attention, and Lu Yin was one of them. But only slightly.

Bai Xue was once again knocked away. Qing Yu shattered the Heavenly Beast Claw, and the Heavenly Star Palm clashed with his finger. The stars exploded, but it couldn't withstand a finger, piercing through Lu Yin's right palm, forcing him back.

All the students stared at Qing Yu in horror. This monster.

Yan Gang spat blood, his body cracking, shocked. This was the power of the White Night Clan, a terrifying clan's scion, transcending everyone.

"It's boring. I originally wanted to play a bit longer, but never mind, let's end this with them," Qing Yu said casually, standing on the ground and looking towards the captured students.

Beside the captured students, Gules and Baloro had already fallen, their life or death unknown. In their place stood a handsome man with gentle eyes.

Lu Yin, clutching his bleeding right hand, saw the man and his expression changed dramatically, "Liu Shaoge?"
