Asura Continent

Lu Yang's face darkened. How could he not understand the meaning behind his words? He asked coldly: "What do you want?"

Fan Yuanpeng glanced at the surroundings of the forest and said in a deep voice, "Brat, you better watch out. Normally, no one will pass by here. Even if I kill you now, no one will know even if you throw you under the cliff." If you tell me the method that can increase your strength, I promise you that I won't tell anyone. "

Lu Yang was no longer that ignorant kid who would believe anything others said, "Do you think I'm an idiot? Even if I tell you that method now, you'll still kill me. Because you are the teacher of the Mortal Life Academy, and you will not let this matter be exposed. Only those who are dead will not reveal these secrets. "

Fan Yuanpeng snorted coldly. He obviously didn't expect Lu Yang to be so smart as to actually see through his thoughts. "I won't kill you, don't worry about that," Fan Yuanpeng said.

"Do you think I would believe it?" Lu Yang raised his guard, looking for an opportunity to escape. If it really wasn't possible, then he would just fight Fan Yuanpeng.

Seeing that Lu Yang was about to attack, Fan Yuanpeng said disdainfully, "Brat, I advise you not to think about escaping. With your cultivation, you still won't be able to escape from my grasp."

"Is that so?" Lu Yang let out a low shout, stepped forward, and like an arrow leaving the bow, he suddenly sprinted out of the forest.

Fan Yuanpeng's face darkened. "You want to run? It won't be that easy." As he spoke, he chased after them.

It had to be said that Fan Yuanpeng's speed was extremely fast. He was, after all, a Heaven Stage expert, so he arrived before Lu Yang in a flash. Just as he raised his right hand and was about to knock Lu Yang unconscious, Lu Yang suddenly turned around. If he had simply turned around, Fan Yuanpeng wouldn't have been surprised. He just felt that Lu Yang's reaction speed was very fast.

The instant Lu Yang turned around, a blood-red saber appeared in his right hand. It was Blood Devouring Berserk Blade.

The instant Fan Yuanpeng saw the longblade, he was stunned. He never would have thought that Lu Yang would actually have a storage-type treasure on him.

It had to be known, the storage-type treasures were extremely rare. Not to mention the Heaven and Earth Pouch, even the Universe Ring was not an easy treasure to obtain. Even Heaven Stage experts did not have all of them.

That was exactly the case. Fan Yuanpeng's eyes flashed with greed. He was now even more certain that he wanted to kill Lu Yang. Even if he couldn't get a way to raise his cultivation, getting a Universe Ring wouldn't be a bad idea.

Fan Yuanpeng laughed out loud and said excitedly, "Brat, I didn't expect you to have the Universe Ring on you. Just let me keep it for you!" As he spoke, he grabbed at the Berserker Blade that Lu Yang was swinging. His thoughts were simple. As long as he grabbed the longblade and crushed it, Lu Yang would have no way of attacking. When the time came, he could play with Lu Yang to death however he wanted.

Fan Yuanpeng's way of thinking was very good, but what happened next left him utterly astonished.

Swinging the long blade, Fan Yuanpeng quickly grabbed at the blade. The moment he touched the blade, before he could crush it with his true energy, an ice-cold aura was suddenly released and instantly covered his entire body. Afterwards, an enormous killing intent surged over. It was unimaginably enormous, and before Fan Yuanpeng could even react, the killing intent entered his body and started to engulf his consciousness.

Fan Yuanpeng inwardly cursed. His ice-cold body was no longer able to attack, so he could only forcefully raise the true strength within his body to resist the murderous aura that was devouring his consciousness. The Zhen Qi inside his body disappeared at an astonishing speed, but not only did the killing intent not decrease, but it kept increasing. At this rate, he would most likely die under this strange long blade.

"What should we do? What should we do?" Fan Yuanpeng could not think of a better way. He regretted endlessly why he had attacked Lu Yang.

The situation on Lu Yang's side wasn't good either. This was the first time he took the initiative to control the murderous intent within the Blood Devouring Berserker Blade to kill someone. Although the effect was good, the true energy within his body was dissipating at an extremely fast speed. At the end, Lu Yang was no longer able to control the Blood Devouring Berserker Blade because the Berserker Blade also released a murderous aura that was devouring his consciousness.

Could it be that this was the legendary backlash? Killing someone and getting killed instead?

Thinking of this, Lu Yang immediately touched the jade wall in his embrace, and a warm current flowed out. His consciousness cleared up, and he immediately stopped releasing his true strength into the long saber.

In the next moment, Lu Yang took a step back. He held his saber horizontally in front of him and looked at Fan Yuanpeng warily.

Fan Yuanpeng's forehead was covered in beads of sweat. He had clearly felt the fear of death just now. If not for Lu Yang releasing his Blood Devouring Berserk Blade at the last moment, he would have already turned into a corpse. At this moment, Fan Yuanpeng finally understood why Lu Yang was so strange to be able to suddenly release his true strength, which was even stronger than his own cultivation. It turned out that he possessed a perverted weapon.

This was Fan Yuanpeng's first time seeing such a weapon. The Bloodthirsty Berserk Blade looked rather ordinary. If it wasn't for the scene he felt earlier, he definitely wouldn't have believed that such a longblade could unleash such a powerful attack. No, that was not an ordinary attack, but an attack that contained killing intent and an ice-cold aura. What kind of blade was this?

Fan Yuanpeng glanced greedily at the longblade, wanting to take it for himself. If he had such a weapon, his combat power would increase by several folds.

However, just as Fan Yuanpeng was having such fantasies, Lu Yang snorted coldly and interrupted his train of thoughts. "If you think you're capable, then you can just come and snatch it away …"

Fan Yuanpeng really wanted to snatch it, but when he thought of what had just happened, he felt fear.

If he failed to snatch it and was swallowed up by killing intent, wouldn't he die here?

This thought flashed through his mind, and Fan Yuanpeng had no choice but to dispel it. He glared at Lu Yang and said unwillingly, "Kid, I didn't expect you to have such a treasure. I have really underestimated you …"

Lu Yang really wanted to kill Fan Yuanpeng, but with his current strength, even with Blood Devouring Berserker Blade, he still wasn't able to do it. He coldly snorted and said, "How about we make a deal?"

"Trade?" Fan Yuanpeng's brows knitted as he subconsciously asked, "What kind of deal?"

Lu Yang was silent for a while and then said, "Don't tell anyone about what happened today. I won't tell anyone about how you killed the examinees. What do you think?"

Fan Yuanpeng looked at Lu Yang with great astonishment. He obviously never expected that Lu Yang would be so scheming at such a young age. He probingly asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'll find a chance to kill you in the future?"

"You're at Heaven Stage now, and I'm only at Yellow Stage Late Phase. If you can't kill me now, do you have a chance in the future?" Lu Yang said in a cold voice, deliberately saying that he was very strong, and said in a deep voice, "With such a treasure in my possession, if you're smart, you definitely wouldn't say it, because after you say it, you won't even have a chance to get it."

Fan Yuanpeng had indeed never thought of telling anyone else, because in his heart, this treasure would sooner or later be his.

"Alright, I agree." Fan Yuanpeng rolled his eyes and asked, "But how can you promise me that you won't tell anyone about what happened today?"

Without even thinking about it, Lu Yang replied, "I didn't say anything good, don't even mention whether the people from the academy will believe me, even if they do, what can they do to you? You are a Heaven Stage powerhouse, and you have stayed here for many years. They would never kill you, at most they would just chase you out of the academy. If that's really the case, then you'll have a lot of opportunities to cause trouble for me in the future. Why would I want to do that? "

Fan Yuanpeng sighed to himself. "Brat, you don't look like a fifteen or sixteen year old at all. How dare you act so shrewdly. You really make me look at you in another light!"

"Thank you for your praise." Lu Yang was neither humble nor haughty as he said, "I have a whole new level of respect for you. To think that the academy's instructor actually wants to snatch away the disciple's treasure. Truly, every big bird in the forest has one."

Fan Yuanpeng's old face turned red as he coldly snorted, "Isn't it all because of your method of suddenly raising your cultivation, causing my interest to be clouded? Honestly speaking, you're the first person I snatched away."

"As for how many people you took, it has nothing to do with me. I also do not wish to know." Lu Yang changed the subject and said, "Can you take me to see the dean now?"

Fan Yuanpeng had already given up on trying to snatch the Berserker Blade for himself. He said, "I'll take you to see the dean right now. However, I must remind you that even if you meet the dean, he might not agree to let you enter the academy."

"Thank you for your kind reminder." Lu Yang said with a smile that was not a smile. His tone was full of sarcasm.

Fan Yuanpeng glared at Lu Yang, but didn't say anything. He was still thinking about what treasure that longblade was and how it could release such a powerful killing intent.

After passing through the forest, they walked for a while before a small courtyard appeared in their line of sight. There was a huge difference between this courtyard and the one before. The exam could hold at least ten thousand people and not even a hundred people could stand here. Clearly, it was where the higher ups of the academy lived.

Fan Yuanpeng brought Lu Yang to the front of the courtyard and said, "This is where the Principal lives. You have to make up your mind, whether you want to go in and see the Principal, or cooperate with me."

Fan Yuanpeng was very smart. He wanted to use the bait that allowed him to enter the academy to exchange for Lu Yang's Blood-Drinking Berserker Blade.

Lu Yang wouldn't agree at all. God only knew what Fan Yuanpeng's character was like. What if he killed him after obtaining the Berserker Blade of Blood Drinking? Besides, Lu Yang still had the letter from Sun Lang, and he was not worried that the dean would not agree. Even if he could not become an official student of the academy, it was still possible for him to stay here and cultivate, out of respect for Su Lang.

"No need, I believe I can convince the Headmaster." Lu Yang answered.

Fan Yuanpeng sighed inwardly and knocked on the door of the academy. He respectfully asked, "Lord Dean, are you in the academy?"

A moment later, an aged voice came from the yard, but the voice was sonorous and powerful, "Who is it!? What business do you have with me? "

"It's me, the instructor of Black Tortoise Academy, Fan Yuanpeng." Fan Yuanpeng answered.

With a creaking sound, the door to the courtyard opened and an old man around 50 years old walked out. The old man wore a red robe, and on his chest were embroidered the four kids from the "Human Life Academy." He looked a bit old, but his back was ramrod straight, and his footsteps were exceptionally light.

From this, it could be seen that the old man was an expert amongst experts, at least a Heaven Stage cultivator.

This old man was none other than the Principal of the Mortal Life Academy, Sun Zhiyuan. Not only was he in charge of the academy, he was also the strongest person in the academy.
