The power behind that roar was terrifying and far more powerful than Gao Xuan had been expecting.

He couldn’t save the rest of the students.

Yun Qingshang also suffered from the unavoidable impact. However, she had powerful abilities, and she also had the Crimson Heart.

Even though she rolled on the ground, haggard, she didn’t sustain any major injuries. The roar reverberated in her mind and made her body limp and powerless. She lay on the ground, unable to stand up.

Wang Hongen, who was wielding the Dragon Tooth Key, was very smug. He wasn’t affected by the roar.

However, his gaze swept toward Gao Xuan, who was standing steadily on his feet, and his expression turned ugly.

Even though he’d tried his best to overestimate Gao Xuan’s abilities, the strength Gao Xuan exhibited still shocked him.

Wang Hongen reacted quickly. He grabbed the students around him and tossed them into the deep crater in a hurry.

He moved rapidly and tossed six people down in an instant.

As long as he completed the blood sacrifice, he no longer had to fear Gao Xuan when the Heavenly Dragon appeared.

The students who’d been tossed into the crater as a blood sacrifice exploded into a pile of mush in the air above the deep crater.

Xu Yin and Wei Zhenzhen were dumbfounded. Had Wang Hongen gone insane?

At that moment, the magnificent roar rang out once again.

Gao Xuan activated the Six-Winged Heavenly Cicada one more time. However, this time, the protective barrier instantly shattered, and Xu Yin and Wei Zhenzhen immediately lost consciousness.

Gao Xuan didn’t have time to take care of them. He couldn’t let Wang Hongen continue what he was doing. He activated his God Slaying Sword.

The God Slaying Sword, which was red as blood, appeared from thin air and shimmered with an indestructible, piercing glow.

Wang Hongen felt that something was off. However, Gao Xuan’s strike was as fast as lightning.

Wang Hongen could make out the attack, but he couldn’t react in time.

The blood-colored current of light shimmered. The blood-colored tip of the sword had already penetrated Wang Hongen’s chest.

When Gao Xuan was wielding the God Slaying Sword, the burst of speed that he could muster in an instant was much faster than that of even a Level Seven expert.

Even experts like Xu Hui and Zhou Lang, much less Wang Hongen, had been unable to defend against his strike.

Gao Xuan killed Wang Hongen without hesitation when he realized that the situation had fallen out of his control.

No matter what happened later, it was right to deal with this scheming, merciless man first.

Wang Hongen looked at the blade that had pierced through his chest, his eyes filled with disbelief. “I’m a man destined to become an unparalleled fighter. How could I die like this…”

He reached out and grabbed Gao Xuan’s sleeves. “I’ve planned this for twenty years. How could I fail before succeeding. How? How…”

Wang Hongen was exceptionally indignant. He continuously questioned Gao Xuan as he grabbed onto his sleeve. However, his voice gradually became softer and softer, and his grip became weaker and weaker.

“Because in this new life, I’m the main character,” Gao Xuan whispered to Wang Hongen, who had died indignant. “This is the arrangement of the heavens. What do you have to be indignant about?

“I’ll benefit myself if I don’t take action, but benefit the world if I do. I’m definitely stronger than a traitor like you. To think that you’d dare to stare at me with such wide eyes. All right. You do you…”

With a flick of the blood-colored sword, Wang Hongen exploded into an orb of blood-colored light.

Gao Xuan swiped the Dragon Tooth Key in Wang Hongen’s left hand. He knew that this was the key to accessing the relic, but he didn’t know how to use it.

He wasn’t worried about it. It was fine if he couldn’t use it.

Gao Xuan asked Yun Qingshang, “How do you feel?”

Yun Qingshang barely managed to sit up. “My body’s a little limp, but there are no problems.”

“Wang Hongen is more merciless than even me. He killed and engaged in blood sacrifice without hesitation.” Gao Xuan was overcome with emotion.

Yun Qingshang didn’t even care about it. “Life and death are predestined.”

She wouldn’t have given it too much thought, even if she’d been the one who’d killed all the students, much less Wang Hongen.

Gao Xuan deliberated for a moment, then deduced, “Wang Hongen must’ve been trying to complete some sort of ritual by doing that.”

He had barely finished speaking when he sensed powerful energy rapidly rising from within the underground crater.
