"Are you really not going to back down?" Li Ruobing's face showed surprise. She thought to herself that this Liu Qing was not only extremely cunning but also had strong magical abilities. It seemed like this battle was going to be tough.

"It's up to you, Ruobing. Are you really going to be my enemy? After all, we were lovers before," Liu Qing said with a smile.

"Shut up!" Li Ruobing could no longer bear it. Dozens of ice spikes around her swiftly shot towards Liu Qing. Liu Qing quickly manipulated the wind to leap to another nearby large tree, dodging the ice spikes launched by Li Ruobing. At the same time, the ice spikes around him also flew towards Li Ruobing. Li Ruobing quickly moved behind a tree trunk, dodging the ice spikes. The ice spikes launched by Liu Qing all pierced the tree trunk and did not hit her.

"Get rid of that guy!" Liu Shi shouted loudly, and more than twenty blue fireballs appeared in the sky, heading towards Qin Yan and Lin Shiqi.

Facing the combined magical spells released by numerous magic users, Qin Yan felt overwhelmed. He grabbed Lin Shiqi's hand and tried to escape into the distance. However, a powerful storm pushed them back. The storm released by the magic users was extremely strong, making it impossible for them to escape.

"Don't worry, Qin brother, we're here to help!" Suddenly, a voice came from the direction of the cave. Qin Yan turned to see Gao Zhanxiang holding a spear, leading ten to twenty armed individuals rushing out of the cave.

Gao Zhanxiang was furious and charged towards the Chiyou members like a madman, stabbing his spear relentlessly at them. Instructor Hong, Zhao Liang, and other students armed with weapons followed him, assisting in the battle. Chaos erupted outside the cave as the students from the academy and the Chiyou organization engaged in fierce combat.

Qin Yan breathed a sigh of relief. With Gao Zhanxiang's intervention, the Chiyou members couldn't focus their attacks on him. The meteor shower in the sky had also disappeared.

However, with less than twenty people on their side compared to the Chiyou organization's forty to fifty members, the academy students were at a significant disadvantage. Many of them were injured and fell to the ground as the battle unfolded.

"Bad news, they are no match for these people." Seeing the unfavorable situation, Qin Yan quickly joined the battle, wielding his trident spear to support Gao Zhanxiang and the others.

The power of the trident spear's energy blades was astonishing, unbeatable in close combat. With each strike, Qin Yan wounded several enemies around him. The Chiyou members, who had suffered losses from Qin Yan before, were too scared to engage him and retreated.

Seeing Qin Yan's prowess, Gao Zhanxiang shouted, "Don't be afraid, with Qin Yan here, victory is assured. Charge!" The students from the academy rallied and charged towards the Chiyou members. The tide of the battle turned instantly, with Qin Yan leading the students like a tiger among sheep, causing the Chiyou members to flee in disarray. Within minutes, nearly half of the Chiyou members were killed or injured, while only a few academy students were wounded.

"What the hell, how did it come to this?" Liu Shi looked panicked. As a second-level physiquer, his combat abilities were not strong. He had stayed away from the main battlefield since the fighting started and had not been injured much.

"This won't do, I'm in trouble. I need to come up with a plan!" Liu Shi thought to himself. He took out a dark pistol from his waist and aimed towards Qin Yan's direction. Qin Yan was engaged in combat with the Chiyou members, and with several of them around him, combined with his fast movements, Liu Shi struggled to aim at him.

"I can't care about that now!" Liu Shi made up his mind and pulled the trigger towards Qin Yan. With a loud bang, a Chiyou member beside Qin Yan fell to the ground. Qin Yan immediately noticed Liu Shi firing the gun and quickly moved to evade the bullets.

"Damn it, I must kill you!" Liu Shi, enraged, charged towards Qin Yan and kept firing at him, but hitting a fast-moving target was not easy. Liu Shi fired five shots but failed to hit Qin Yan. Instead, two Chiyou members were shot down by Liu Shi.

Feeling a searing heat on his back, Liu Shi turned around and realized he was on fire for some unknown reason. He quickly removed the burning outer garment and looked around. He saw Lin Shiqi standing about twenty meters away, continuously summoning blue fireballs to strike at him.

"You little bitch, dare to oppose me, I'll fight you to the end!" Liu Shi, in a rage, charged towards Lin Shiqi, who kept hitting him with blue fireballs on his chest, abdomen, and legs, setting his body on fire. Despite being engulfed in flames, Liu Shi did not try to put out the fire but continued to advance towards Lin Shiqi, firing at her repeatedly.

A bullet whizzed past Lin Shiqi's cheek, grazing her face and causing a slight injury. Lin Shiqi was frightened and screamed, falling to the ground and forgetting to use her magical abilities to attack Liu Shi. This allowed Liu Shi to quickly approach Lin Shiqi, closing the distance to within five steps.

"Oh no, Shiqi is in danger." Qin Yan rushed towards Liu Shi, swinging his trident spear to release energy blades at Liu Shi. However, Qin Yan was still some distance away from Liu Shi, and the effective range of the energy blades was less than ten meters, making it impossible to harm Liu Shi.

"Come on, bring it on!" Enduring the burning pain, Liu Shi continuously pulled the trigger at Qin Yan. Despite the bullets flying around him, Qin Yan did not retreat because he knew that if he did, Lin Shiqi would be in danger. He thought that as long as he got closer, he could take down Liu Shi with a single blow.

Suddenly, Qin Yan felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. Looking down, he saw a hole in his left abdomen, blood slowly flowing out of the wound and dripping onto the ground. Even with his physique-enhancing abilities, he couldn't withstand the impact of the handgun bullets. Qin Yan staggered and fell to the ground.

"Haha, I'm the best, I win." Laughing maniacally, Liu Shi, still on fire, walked over to the fallen Qin Yan and fired several shots at his body. Qin Yan convulsed for a moment before lying still.

"You bastard!" Tears in her eyes, Lin Shiqi rushed forward, trying to grab the gun from Liu Shi. Liu Shi pushed her hand away, slapped her hard across the face, knocking her to the ground. He then kicked her repeatedly, causing her to scream in pain.

"You little bitch, now you know how powerful I am, hahaha!" Liu Shi laughed maniacally, grabbed Lin Shiqi by the hair, lifted her from the ground, and dragged her next to Qin Yan, who had been shot. Although the flames on Liu Shi had extinguished, his body was charred and disfigured by the fire. Combined with the wicked grin on his face, he looked even more terrifying.

"You little bitch, you don't like me, you have to like this little bastard. Let's see who can save you now, hahaha!" Liu Shi said maniacally, staring viciously at Lin Shiqi, pointing the gun at her head.

"No, please don't." Lin Shiqi weakly pleaded. She had been knocked to the ground by Liu Shi, kicked several times, and was now seriously injured. With the gun pointed at her head, she had no strength to resist.
