"This weapon is quite peculiar." Suddenly, Qin Yan had this thought. He once again pushed his physical enhancement ability to the limit, strengthening his entire body. He slashed at several enemies in front of him with the trident spear, causing the spear to vibrate violently, emitting a humming sound in the air. A curved silver energy shockwave, released from the long spear at an imperceptible speed, instantly struck three white-clothed individuals. Their clothes tore open with a sharp sound, revealing deep wounds as if cut by a blade. Unluckily, one person was struck at the neck, blood gushing out instantly. Clutching his neck in horror, the person fell to the ground with a thud, motionless.

"What kind of weapon is that? It can cut people from a distance?!"

"It seems even protective techniques can't block it. It's really damn mysterious!"

The white-clothed individuals from the Chiyou organization were extremely surprised by this scene. They stood frozen in place, unsure of what to do. Qin Yan realized that when he used his physical enhancement ability to strengthen his body, the long spear had also been reinforced along with him. He felt a dense energy gathering at the blade and edge of the trident spear, merging with the metallic material of the spear. When he swung the spear forcefully, this high-density energy, mixed with some metallic substance, would be released in an instant, forming high-speed silver energy blades that inflicted harm on nearby enemies.

"Good, this should work!" With this strange weapon, Qin Yan's confidence soared. He took the initiative to attack the white-clothed individuals from the Chiyou organization, using his physical enhancement ability to control the trident spear, absorbing air, and swinging the spear to unleash silver energy blades on the enemies. The silver energy blades had a wide range of effectiveness, nearly ten meters, with greater power the closer the target was. Within half a meter, those struck by the energy blades would have their steel weapons cut through, as if slicing through butter.

The white-clothed members of the Chiyou organization were continuously struck by the silver energy blades emitted by Qin Yan's trident spear, blood splattering everywhere. In less than half a minute, over ten members of the Chiyou organization had been wounded by the energy blades, fear evident in their eyes as they retreated in panic.

"Don't panic, retreat from close combat and switch to long-range spells." Suddenly, a cold voice echoed from somewhere. As the voice fell, over twenty palm-sized blue flames appeared in the sky, descending towards Qin Yan.

"Oh no..." Qin Yan's expression changed. He couldn't defend against so many fireballs simultaneously. He hurriedly dodged and evaded the attacks of the fireballs.

"I'll help you." Lin Shiqi arrived by Qin Yan's side and summoned a powerful whirlwind to surround them, blocking the blue meteor shower. Lin Shiqi had a way to deal with this kind of magical spell attack.

"A petty trick." A masked figure in green outside the crowd sneered. "Use Group Storm!"

A powerful storm suddenly generated out of nowhere, sweeping towards Qin Yan and Lin Shiqi. This storm was collectively cast by multiple magic users from the Chiyou organization, and its strength was immense. It dispersed the whirlwind summoned by Lin Shiqi.

Without the whirlwind protection, Qin Yan and Lin Shiqi were completely exposed to the fireball attack. Qin Yan could withstand it with his physical enhancement ability, but Lin Shiqi was in danger. In desperation, Qin Yan had to stand in front of Lin Shiqi, using his body to shield her. The fireballs relentlessly struck Qin Yan, igniting his clothes. Unable to escape because of protecting Lin Shiqi, he had to endure the full brunt of the fireball assault.

A piercing sound of breaking air rang out, and suddenly more than ten half-meter-long ice spikes appeared in the air. The ice spikes rained down on the white-clothed members of the Chiyou organization, injuring several of them. The blue meteor shower in the sky disappeared in an instant, replaced by a cold airflow that swept towards Qin Yan, swiftly extinguishing the flames burning on him.

"Who's there?" The man in green with a mask expressed surprise, looking towards the direction where the ice spikes had come from. There stood Li Ruobing on the trunk of a large tree, the one who had summoned the ice spike rain to attack the Chiyou organization members and used the cold wind to put out the flames on Qin Yan.

"This is getting interesting." The man in green inexplicably smiled, beckoning to Liu Shi, who hurried over. With great respect, Liu Shi asked, "Master, is there something you need?"

The man in green with a mask, sounding displeased, said, "How many times do I have to tell you? Since you've joined our Chiyou organization, you should follow our rules and address me as Left Envoy. "

"Yes, Left Envoy, do you have any orders?" Liu Shi quickly corrected himself.

"I'll deal with the woman in the tree; you handle things here," the man in green with a mask said in a cold tone. "I don't care how you do it, but you must subdue those two brats, force them to hand over the 'Emperor Jiang.' If you succeed, that girl named Lin Shiqi and this academy will be yours. But if you fail, do you know the consequences?"

A bead of cold sweat formed on Liu Shi's forehead. He hurriedly said, "No, it won't happen, Left Envoy, you can rest assured, I won't disappoint you."

The man in green with a mask grunted in acknowledgment and suddenly, a powerful airflow surrounded him. With a whoosh, he flew into the air, suspending himself six to seven meters above the ground and heading towards Li Ruobing, landing gracefully on the trunk of a nearby large tree.

"Such strong magical abilities!" Li Ruobing was slightly surprised, her face wary as she watched the man in green with a mask on the tree trunk.

"Ruobing, it's been a while, hasn't it?" The man in green with a mask, a hint of a smile in his eyes, gazed at Li Ruobing.

"You are..." Upon hearing the man in green with a mask speak, Li Ruobing suddenly felt a strange familiarity, as if she knew this person.

"Hehe, Ruobing, you are indeed forgetful. You've already forgotten me so quickly." The man in green with a mask chuckled, removing his mask to reveal a fair and handsome face.

"Is it you?!" Li Ruobing's pupils suddenly contracted, her body trembling violently as if she had seen someone impossible to see.

The handsome man displayed an elegant smile on his face. "Looking at your current appearance, Ruobing, it seems you haven't forgotten me."

A look of resentment suddenly appeared on Li Ruobing's face. "It really is you, Liu Qing. Why are you doing this..."

"Oh? What did I do?" The man named Liu Qing looked innocent.

"What did you do?" Li Ruobing gritted her teeth. "You deliberately approached me before, used my trust to infiltrate our academy, gathered information, and now, you led an attack on our academy, causing so many injuries and deaths. And you dare ask me what did you do?!"

"Oh, that matter," Liu Qing seemed to remember. "I had no choice in that. It was an order from above, I had to do it. But I have always been sincere towards you. I even released the hostages I had captured for you. Don't you understand my sincerity towards you?"

Li Ruobing was taken aback, but then a resolute expression appeared on her face. "You don't need to pretend here. I won't believe you unless... you immediately leave with your people!"

Liu Qing seemed troubled as he spoke, "Oh, that's difficult. The organization ordered me to obtain the 'Emperor Jiang' from you. If I fail the mission, I will face severe punishment. Ruobing, can't you consider our past relationship and hand over the 'Emperor Jiang' to me? I promise not to harm anyone from your academy after obtaining it."

"Don't dream. The 'Emperor Jiang' will never be handed over to you." Li Ruobing's eyes emitted a dangerous light. "There is no connection between us anymore. Leave here with your people now, or else..." The temperature around her began to drop, and sharp ice spikes appeared out of thin air around her.

Despite the hint of gloom on his handsome face, Liu Qing maintained his smile. "Ruobing, you are truly ruthless. I had hoped for reconciliation, but it seems impossible now. It saddens me..." The temperature around him also dropped, and sharp ice spikes appeared in the air around him as well.
