Chapter 4145: Gang Up on My Qiao

"Form the array!" yelled a male student named Zhou Bao. The remaining three immediately raised their long swords, swinging them with a series of swift swishes.

The four stood at four corners, encircling the bruised and swollen Hong Shang in the center.

Four defensive barriers connected, forming a impenetrable shield against the endless sand scorpions.

"Senior Sister Hong!"

"Senior Sister Hong!"

Hong Shang moved her neck, slowly raising a hand.

She struggled to her feet, staggering and stumbling a few steps.

When she looked up, everyone saw her face was in a terrible state.

Her hair was disheveled, her mouth twisted, and both cheeks were bruised from the punches.

Sporting a head full of bumps, she swayed, grinding her teeth and making faint gasping sounds in her throat.

This person had clearly been dazed by the little stoic's violent beating, still feeling dizzy and disoriented.

"Senior Sister Hong!"

"Senior Sister Hong!" the students from Splendor Academy cried out urgently.

Hong Shang raised a hand, lifted her chin, tossed her messy hair, and glared resentfully at Qiao Mu beyond the defensive barrier.

The little stoic stood calmly in the ocean of sand scorpions, her expression as cold as ever, her eyes devoid of ripples, neither joy nor sorrow.

"Rise!" With a chant, the measuring ruler flew from her hand, spinning rapidly in mid-air.

"Boom!"

It heavily struck one of the barriers.

The four male students from Splendor Academy hiding within the barrier all took a step back. The entire barrier contracted inwards, and a sizzling sound emanated from its exterior.

Hong Shang suddenly straightened her body, her arm trembling, and took out a pill from her inner realm, quickly swallowing it.

At the same time, the inky black measuring ruler circled in the air before whoosh, returning to the little stoic's hand.

An endless stream of sand scorpions crawled over, rustling as they ascended the four defensive barriers.

"Senior Sister Hong!"

"Form the array!" Hong Shang wielded her treasured sword, drawing a fiery light across the air like a bolt of lightning.

Her body abruptly moved. The four quickly converged towards the center, back-to-back, their sword lights interwoven, forming a Five-Point Defensive Array.

Hong Shang darted out from the center of the four, her figure rising.

She hovered in the air, holding her sword horizontally across her chest.

A powerful sword intent permeated the sword itself, rushing towards the sand scorpion swarm on the outer wall.

With a sword cry, the sword intent descended, carving a three-foot-wide fissure directly into the arena floor.

They had initially thought this slash would certainly send countless sand scorpions falling off the arena.

However, unexpectedly, the sand scorpion swarm was merely parted into an opening, then orderly continued crawling along both sides of the fissure.

Rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle, they crawled with incredible speed. In just a moment, they had densely reformed layer upon layer, clambering up the smooth four defensive barriers.

The onlookers were simply visually stunned.

Before their eyes was an ocean of sand scorpions, endlessly spreading.

A figure in academic robes, white as snow and coldly indifferent, the little stoic, casually walked through this black expanse.

A segment of green hair tie, faintly visible in her hair, showed her graceful poise.

"Break the wall!"

A cold glint flashed in the little stoic's eyes. The Startled Swan Dagger whoosh flew out of her Sea of Consciousness, darting to the defensive barrier at lightning speed.

After a buzzing sound that sliced through the air.

One of the four defensive barriers was suddenly shattered by the Startled Swan Dagger, breaking into powder like a smashed mirror, its spiritual energy dissipating.

Everyone simultaneously stood up, unable to help but cheer.
