But who could have thought that Qu Fengting would betray them as well, making their hatred for Qu Fengting far surpass that of others, wishing nothing more than to shatter him into pieces.
Unfortunately, their strength was far inferior to Qu Fengting’s. With one hand on the stone gate and the other wielding a long sword, he killed several of them on the spot with just a few strikes.
"You, you actually killed us too?" one of them gasped his last breath, looking at Qu Fengting with sorrowful eyes.
"You fools, did you really think that with your strength and status, you were worthy of calling yourselves my brothers? If it weren’t for the fact that you still had so value in death, do you think I would dean myself to join you?" Qu Fengting scornfully cursed and continued to close the stone gate.
"Ha, it’s we who are fools to have ever believed in you, heartless as a wolf," the man laughed bitterly, his laughter breaking off as he ceased to breathe, his eyes still staring fixedly at Qu Fengting in death.
No one expected that Qu Fengting, facing his own loyal subordinates, would show no rcy at all. With his strength, he could have severely injured them and rely incapacitated their ability to fight, yet he chose to kill them with a single sword strike, leaving no chance for survival.
It was then that they truly realized Qu Fengting’s ruthless cruelty.
It was also at that mont, as they turned around, that a large gap opened behind them and several Exotic Beasts broke through the line, unexpectedly killing a few Swordsn.
Seeing this, the other young Swordsn, though they hated Qu Fengting to the bone, dared not turn their backs easily. With their strength, confronting Qu Fengting directly was a sure path to death, whereas guarding the stair entrance would at least allow them to live a bit longer.
Even knowing they had been used by Qu Fengting, there was nothing they could do; no one wanted to die, even if surviving a mont longer was worthwhile.
"Just hold on a bit longer, this palace may not have many passages, but it’s a good place to hide," Mu Hanyan said as she turned and dashed towards the palace.
Qu Fengting’s act of closing the gate reminded her that the palace, despite enduring thousands of years of trials, was still exceptionally solid and could accommodate over a hundred Swordsn. If they hid inside and shut the door, they should be able to hold on for so ti, assuming Zhengying Academy was doing everything possible to open the Barrier; they still had a chance.
More importantly, she absolutely could not allow Qu Fengting to succeed. Otherwise, even if they escaped this ti, they would still inevitably face death in the future.
With such cruelty, once in power, how could he let those who hate him so intensely live?
Using all her movent technique, Mu Hanyan rapidly headed towards the palace.
Unfortunately, the stairs had many levels, Qu Fengting did not hesitate at all. After taking an Elixir, his injuries slightly healed, and he moved to close the gate; by the ti Mu Hanyan leaped over, the palace doors were almost entirely shut, leaving less than a foot of open space.
Watching Mu Hanyan flying towards the door from outside, Qu Fengting gave a cold smile and pressed his hands together forcefully.
Just at that mont, a figure fiercely lunged at him.
Soone still dares seek death, Qu Fengting’s eyes flashed with killing intent. Seeing that the person was not strong, Qu Fengting didn’t even draw his sword, directly striking with his palm instead.
Seeing Qu Fengting’s palm strike towards his chest, the man did not dodge and instead opened his arms to embrace Qu Fengting.
With a "bang!" Qu Fengting’s palm firmly hit the man’s chest, blood sprayed from his mouth, but he still clung tightly to Qu Fengting.
